::Lillith shakes her head::
Smarter men than you have tried to answer that question Ren. Some have gone mad trying to figure out the inner workings of the mind of a serial killer. There are volumes of this stuff that you can find in just about any criminology section of the library. But it's all speculation, statistics and guesswork. When you get right down to it, there's no set reason for someone to kill. It's different for everyone, and once the trigger is pulled, any of us are capable of just about anything. I've seen a cruel vindictive person start to care about one of the kindest people alive, and I've met a kind and courageous woman who killed her best friend. People have their limits, and fill both sides of the spectrum. But, getting off my soap-box, I think our earlier theory of a surviving cultist seeking to make a comeback is looking better and better. I think we need to get in touch with that constable and see what information the police might have on The Order. And Miyo, I'd like to have a look at that notebook.

Ren quickly just shifted his sight to Takano who was about to inject him with an antidote. He just smiled at her but not a meaningful one. "Thanks." Ren said after taking the shot.

:Kenny watches as each one gets the needle with the vaccination as he wonder if he was next as he sat on the bottom step for now waiting for his possible turn.:
"Anymore of those medicines left?"

Takano cleans Ren's arm where she stuck him, and turns around to face Kenny. "What's the matter? You seem kind of nervous. Don't worry, it's totally fine. I won't bite." She takes Kenny's arm and runs her fingers down it until she finds a vein. "Alright, looks like we've got a nice healthy one right here. Now just take a deep breath and it'll be over before you.... there. See? And you didn't even argue with me. Lollipop for you!"

::Iole doesn't look like she heard Oliver, and her hand is still tightly fastened over his. She shudders::
Needles.... I hate them. I can't even watch them being used... and yet... I can't look away.

::Kerion takes a deep breath before looking up at the sky, waiting his turn with the needle:: There's something more to all this, but what? Wait, we still got one piece of evidence the police doesn't know about. Perhaps that might shed some light. ::He walks back inside and sees Kenny getting finished up:: "Guess I'm next." ::Walks to Tanako:: "Lillith, you still got that Gil we found on the roof?"

::Lillith looks at Kerion with a confused expression::
You mean that thing we wrestled away from that weird magpie? I think I left it in my other pair of jeans. Why do you ask?

"What's a Gil?" Ren asked Lillith.

Adrian looks to Ren, surprised and taken back. "Don't tell me they don't have Gil where you are from? Does your region still use sea shells or something? Gil, money, dinero, etc... Thought everyplace used gil, what do they call it where you are from?"

(LOL! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT SORRY ;D I feel like I'm the dumbest person here LOL)
"Oh!" Ren said remembering the money they used. "I'm quite forgetful. don't mind what I said."

"Righhhhtttt" Adrian turns then and approaches Lillith. "I'm curious as to the plan for the day? Now that you all have been inoculated, will you be leaving the city today? I can see about retrieving any new information from your friends inside the police force and getting it back to you."

::Lillith thinks to herself::
That would probably be best. If Ames finds out we're still in the city, he'll likely take measures. But the biggest decision we need to make is who is coming with me to Dali, and who is staying here. Obviously, Kerion, Dante and I need to leave. Ames knows who we are. But the rest of you are clear. Eva.... I know what you might think about leaving Iole behind, but.... well... how do I put this? No offense, but you really stick out.

"I guess I'll be staying here again, right?" Ren asked.

"I'm just curious." Kerion replied to Lillith's question. "It was just something I thought we over looked." ::He looks to Ren as he said he would be staying:: "I don't think that would be a good idea. If Ames caught you after what happened with the latest victim, he might try to pin the other murders on you, making everyone in the city believe you were the Autum Harvester. You'll be safer coming with us to Dali."

::Lillith interrupts Kerion::
I'm not so sure that's the best idea either. First of all, Ames doesn't know we were at the scene of the crime last night... yet. So for the time being, Ren's safe. On top of that... ::she sighs:: It pains me to admit this, but I don't think Oliver is going to take my advice and stay away from this case. And trying to keep him out of the loop will very likely just make him try something more drastic. Furthermore, he knows the streets the best. We could use that, which is the only reason I'm letting him stay behind with Iole. But since he's staying behind, I'd prefer to leave him with as much protection as we can provide. Kenny.... I know you might not want to hear this, but I think you should stay here with them as well. Ames doesn't know who you are, and you're one of the only people we can trust to keep Iole reined in.

::Iole growls, and the canine sound in her throat seems to startle Oliver who's still sitting next to her::
I'm not going anywhere with him.
::She declares as she points an accusing finger at Ren::

::Eva sighed as she shut her eyes as her hair slowly started turning black as her eyes turn back into its previous gentle blue color as she looked over at Lillith with a annoyed look on her face::
"Next time you tell me I stand out Lillith I'll give you something that'll stand out...."
::She placed both of her hands on her hips::
"Honestly if its just the hair color how exactly do you think I got around? How often to you hear about a fire haired woman walking around huh?"
::As one would look at her her appearance really does look a bit different than her normal form::
"Now then if you still want to say I stick out because of my clothes why don't you get me something that won't stand out so much?"
::She stuck her tongue out at Lillith not caring if it seemed a little childish::
"And as for you young lady..."
::She walked over to Iole and placed a hand on top of her head calming her down and looked into her eyes::
"I know how your feeling right now..."
::She said that in a low whisper so only her and Iole can hear::
"But sometimes you just have to suck in your pride even if the person your with isn't exactly someone you can stomach..."
::She gave a slight smile and gave her a wink::
"You can always kick his butt later if he really gets on your nerves ok?"

:Kenny was once again told by Lillith to stay behind as he was shaken a bit by this but he regained himself and began to speak up: "Ok then, But please be careful I was worried for you last night after what happen and I don't want you to get hurt again."

He overhears Lilith and Kerion. "Yes... Oliver can help in hiding Ren, Iole, and Kenny with his knowledge with the city streets as bringing Ren along to Dali would add suspicion if this Ames person finds out."
He wonders upon what she said about Eva. "... if I may curiously ask upon why you mention Eva seems to... 'stick out'? No one really takes a beautiful red-haired angelic woman odd; I do not see it odd and everyone who passed her when I am with her do not see her odd..." He pauses for a moment...
"... wait.............." He pricks out a long twig hidden in Eva's hair. "You have a good eye, Lilith. I never saw that on her... though I do not see the reasoning behind it... but OK...." .... *sweat drop*....
Before he could pondered on what just happened, Dante gives a confusing face when Eva starts to change before him and the others. "Eva... did something happened to you when we were away from each other? I was not aware you can freely do that as I thought it only happened once..."
Iole overhears Lilith saying that Ren should say with Oliver and Iole; she starts up the accusations again. He starts to grunt in a pain for a moment... as if the accusing finger felt like some sort of symbolism. Before he could say what he said previously, Eva comes in to ease her. He sighs a bit and sits back slightly to ease his mind.
Iole has changed... but in a slight troubling way. But... it is nice to have a sister, whether or not related. He pauses in thought for a moment. ... as I feel I would not be a good brother of any kind as I seem to still do more misunderstood harm than good... Oh, don't be emo; Eva knows how to get Iole understand better than anyone, which would make her as a sort of sister... but you can't be blamed to sound like you're supporting that random Ren guy... and plus... you would be a good brother... He begins to feel something... different for just a moment... but just shrugs and sits back and await on who is staying and leaving before departure....

::Eva looked at Dante with a slight smile on her face::
"I've done a lot of training and missions while we were apart Dante...that was something I needed to get done."
::She stood up and stretched a little::
"Sad to say there has been some cases where I had to disguise myself, after all I don't need people stalking me right?"
::She saw Dante's eyebrow twitch as she suppressed a giggle knowing he was thinking about the hot spring incident again::
"Anyway back to serious matters I want to come with you Lillith. There's something I still need to check on..."
