Mister E-mail, E me a mail. Make the attachment, a pic of a snail.

Damien watched as Hotaru explained to her... friend? Partner? ... Coworker, that seemed like the best word... what Spirits were. She didn't seem... too enthused though. She must have had a bad experience with Spirits. "Oh come now, I'm not that bad." Dragonecro objected. "You were going to eat them..." Hotaru muttered at the dragon. "They can eat people?" "Maybe, maybe not, perhaps you should just hope not." "Hmm... well, I suppose it's not out of the realm of possibility," Damien rubbed his chin as he thought to himself. "Most malicious spirits I've encountered though prefer to use a human as a sort of 'anchor' to the physical world, so they can carry out their own schemes, and mentally torment their victims so they'll follow orders without question," He then shrugged "I suppose eating isn't out of the question... anyways, well, if you two are just sitting there, then I shall---," "Help me hide a body!" Mr. E called out cheerfully as he skipped into the room. "... What?" "Don't question me boy, just do as I say," Mr. E grabbed Damien by the ear and walked away. "We'll see you girls later!" He waved to the two as he walked away. "How about we help you find him? It seems unlikely he'd leave the store and forget you, so he must be somewhere in this building. What does he look like?" "Let's see... Maybe we can find a store employee or something, they might know how we can find someone in here quicker..." "Well, um... big bro is like... he looks like me, but bigger! And angrier! And a boy!" The little girl said, getting on her toes and stretching in order to attempt to mimic her brother's height. "Oh, oh, and he has Sky following him everywhere!" She said as she spread her arms out. "Sky is really long and white, and has like, 6 wings!" She added, flapping her wings like she was trying to take flight. In fact, she started to float slightly into the air. At that moment a boy that looked like an older, taller, and angrier version of the little girl dived at the girl, tackling her out of the air. "Jackie, what the hell did you do this time?!" "But, Lee, it wasn't me, it was Beely!" Jackie pouted. "You can't just talk about Beelze at any given time and blame him for messes you had him make!" The boy said as he stood back up. "But Lee... they're like us...," Jackie said, causing Lee to slowly turn to look at the girls. "We gotta go," He said, the urgency filling in his voice. "But Lee---," "No buts! Ascension Sky!" He called out. Suddenly, Natsumi could see a large white, multi-winged dragon coiling around the aisle, its massive tail ending at the store entrance. The massive dragon opened its mouth, the wind slowly picking up... pure energy gathering in its mouth, which it suddenly fired at the group.... however, before it reached them, Barbatos dropped from the ceiling, wielding a comically large sword. He took a swing at the beam, splitting it in half, the split beam shooting the shelves and blowing them up. "Please. continue shopping," He said in his normal tone of voice, turning to the members of Project Crimson. "I will gather these runaways and meet you up front. Take care of my cart, will you?" He motioned to the cart full of food behind them. Turning to see the two attempting to run, Barbatos went to give chase. "Beelze!" Lee called out. Behind the two, a giant red three headed monstrosity slithered past the girls, using one of its shoulder mounted dragon heads to whip out and smash Barbatos, sending him flying through several shelves. All three heads then turned, staring down the girls, looking as if it was trying to stare into their souls. Without breaking its gaze, it used its tail to flip over the cart, spilling its contexts all over the floor. It then raised one of its draconian hands, and flipped them the bird, before slithering off after the two running away. Barbatos pulled himself out of the wreckage and simply cracked his neck. "Pick up the stuff on the floor please," He said as he rushed off after the escaping foursome. "Again, I will meet you up front and we'll pay for the food and leave!" he soon dashed out of the store, leaving the group alone... At some point during this chaos, Leiko managed to slip away, disappearing... "O-Oh..." "Ya got me. Although the orphanage might as well been hell." He said, his voice becoming bitter as he spoke about that place. He turned to Jet, ignoring the fact that he was sinking back. "Some old dude came into the orphanage one day and told me I could get out of that hell hole." He sank his hands into his pockets. "Honestly, knowing what I know now, I think I would have still chosen to come here." He let out a sigh. "My time at the lab was a nightmare but at least now we have a way out, right?" He said, shrugging. "Seems like the rest of you are in the same boat." "I mean, could you imagine what would happen if they experimented on people that mattered?" He paused, thinking to himself. "Still... I guess that didn't stop the bastard from experimenting on his own son," He muttered. "Anyways, good hustle. I think I'm gonna rest for the rest of the day," He said as he walked away. OOC
