Belle: *has taken the body of an elderly woman. She shudders a bit as she realizes that someday, this could be what she feels like all of the time, but she continues to focus on the assignment. She's supposed to be learning, once more, how to convincingly act as an older citizen. She's walking down the street gradually, but not really worrying about where she goes.*

Bianca: *She's trying to tie up some loose ends before she's pushed back underground again. She knows she'll be able to return once everything has calmed down, but for now, she's on edge. She's dressed much more simply than usual, and she's borrowing Haydn's trench coat instead because of its dark colors.**She turns the collar up and walks as quickly as she can. Unfortunately, being blind and without a cane, being in a hurry is the worst idea to stay out of people's way.*

Belle: *is bumped into from behind by a woman that the body seems to recognize. She smiles and tries to copy the woman's speech patterns" Hello Bianca~ Why the hurry?

Bianca: *At first, the voice only surprises her because she ran into the owner.* I'm so sorry, but I... *Then it clicks, and she feels her face pale.* Ms... M-Ms. Corpelli? *No... no, that can't be right. She did that job two weeks ago, on her precious off time, so... so... who is this?!*

Belle: *recognizes the name from the body's memories, so she plays along* Are you alright, Bianca? What's the matter, darling?

Bianca: I-it's nothing. *Is it... no, no. No, it couldn't be. Not here. Not so soon, not when he's ignored every actual message to him.* You know how it is... w-with men, I mean. *Don't think about it. Don't act unusual.*

Belle: *places a hand on Bianca's shoulder, smiling* Oh I understand, darling. May I ask you a favor, though?

Bianca: *swallows* Yes?

Belle: *smiles, not accessing the memory of Bianca's blindness* Can you walk with me? I seem to be a bit far from home...

Bianca: O-of course. *She's weak at the knees, but she decides that if it really is Valentine, she'll face her end with dignity.**Even so...* Oliver, wake. up.

Oliver: *groans, waking up to the voice in his head* The hell....

Belle: *takes Bianca's arm* Thank you darling

Bianca: A dead woman is having me take her home. Home should be a dirty hole in the ground under an old Subway restaurant! *smiling* It's no problem, Ms. Corpelli. Say, how is that crusty dog of yours doing? Whis... Whistler, right?

Belle: *hears "dog" and remembers as best she can* Whiskey, dear. Whiskey has been fine... She just won't take her medicine....

Oliver: *grumbles* You sure you're not just fucked in the head? If you're fucked in the head, can I go to sleep?

Bianca: Ah ha... just like a fussy child. *tries not to grit her teeth* Your going to be fucked in your head during your next coffee break if you don't help me sort this out.

Belle: *laughs quietly* Oh once I give her some butter she swallows it just like that.

Oliver: Fine. What do you need?

Bianca: Dogs are such funny animals like that. *relaxes, but just a little**She actually finds the fact there's a -real- voice in her head to be comforting.* Just need to sort out what I did with her, so I can understand how this happened. It can't be Val. It just can't... *She's actually guiding the woman to her home... her home which is just a few blocks from the hole Sweet dug for her. The other prostitute didn't want to do it, of course, but that was a part of his job.*

Belle: Yes...very.... So what have you been up to, dear? *is rather slow, having a bit of trouble walking the distance*

Oliver: Alright, so it's not Val....that leaves......seven billion other people....

Bianca: I know who my victim was, but the question is who's this? *don't panic* ...you know, work. It's always work around here what with the Elite lurking around every corner.

Belle: *is offended a bit internally* Well darling, they're only doing what's best for us all...

Oliver: Maybe you fucked up?

Bianca: I never fuck up a murder! *sighs* I know, I know... but they're always so rough. *pouts* You old school ladies are tough, though, so me complaining is probably just a bother. I'm sorry.

Oliver: How the fuck would you know? Maybe there are a ton of people just walking around because you didn't use enough poison or something.

Bianca: She asphyxiated, of course she's dead.

Oliver: Layman's terms, big guy....

Bianca: She suffocated, choking on her own vomit. Plain enough for you?

Oliver: Loud and clear. Loving the guilt.

Belle: *smiles* Well I'm sure they don't mean to be, dear

Maitho: There is no guilt when she was coming close to death anyway. It was only a matter of time, and I just happened to help her along. *smiles softly in return* No, I suppose they don't. *pauses* We must be getting close... *Yes, it couldn't be far now, could it? Unless she got herself turned around.*

Oliver: So why's she here?

Belle: So we are... *looks down at a small wristwatch*

Bianca: ...Ms. Corpelli, can I ask you something else? *braces herself* That's what I'm going to find out. *takes a breath* Didn't you... didn't you die last Friday?

Belle: *blushes, realizing that she's been found out. She can't stay any longer, so she sighs, and leaves the body to deteriorate into a mixture of bone shards and dust*

Bianca: *Despite herself, she screams in horror.* It wasn't Val, but I... what the hell is this?! *He doesn't mean to, but he still wants Oliver to understand his fear. There's a flood of bits and pieces from past hallucinations of bone hands clinging to him and trying to drag him down, of cat yowls and low growls, fierce accusations and damning cries...* No, no it can't be any of that. I haven't had anything like that!

Oliver: Maitho, what the fuck happened? Did she turn her head 360 or something?

Maitho: *He's not even thinking straight as he whips off his shoes, hugging them close to his chest, and running for the nearest alleyway.**He can hear his heart pounding in his ears, but he doesn't feel the sharp pain in his feet.* She turned to dust! Just fell right away like she wasn't even there to begin, but she was! I know she was! It wasn't some hallucination because I haven't had anything!

Oliver: *remembers the day before* Maitho... that actually sounds like something that happened to Ellie.

Maitho: Who- *trips, picks himself up and keeps going* Who?!

Oliver: Yesterday Ellie met some cat while she was out, and she said it like turned into a skeleton or something.

Maitho: That's fine for cats, but this was a person once. A person that I murdered and buried was up and alive. That's not some SIN flunkie project.

Oliver: How do you know that cat wasn't dead too?

Maitho: Does it matter? Cats and people are two different things!

Oliver: I guess so, but it's something to think about. Might just be a weird-ass User.

Maitho: *He finally he stops running and holds himself up against a wall,**There's still the occasional flashback.* I don't care. I don't care. She was dead, dead. *aloud* The dead stay dead. That's all they can do, that's all they can do...

Oliver: CALM DOWN. You're not going to undo what happened by freaking the fuck out on me, so calm down, hot stuff.

Maitho: ...I can't keep calm about this when any one of them could just up and go running their mouths.

Oliver: Then come back underground. It doesn't sound safe up there.

Maitho: I can't... I need Haydn and Rowan. I won't go by myself, not like I used to. It isn't safe to go anywhere by yourself, not really, not ever.

Oliver: Try to calm down. Come back down here. We'll help you.

Maitho: *shakes his head* I can do this. I can do this... It's nothing new. There's nothing new that's going on. It's fine.
