[ Someone is having a very busy Monday and Tuesday. Let us count the ways. ]

[ closed to Harper (for now!) ]

[ After a long, hard day of school, followed directly by a few hours of scrubbing dicks off the wall, Skyler is almost done with his day. Except he isn't, of course; he still has Blood Key shit to do today and he isn't about to give Helene no for an answer. He does need to make a stop at home, though, and the last buses have already left, so here he is, makin his way downtown cutting through a quieter part of the Business District on his way home. He is not expecting to meet anyone, and he isn't trying to catch anyone's eye. All he wants to do is get home. Seriously.

Nothing in his life ever happens that smoothly, unfortunately! ]

[ closed to Chuck ]

[ After weeks of searching, he thinks he's got the right guy. He's been looking for a new guy, he knows, someone who's been on the ball and stayed in fairly good standing with his fellow Keys. He's even friendly, which is weird enough among the Keys, but so far it appears he's been doing nothing but making himself friends with his timely warnings. Things have probably been pretty cozy for him.

Well, that's enough complimentary bullshit. After all, his fellow Keys did end up leading right towards him in a roundabout way, traveling backward from contact to contact until he reached the right cell, and then the right people within the cell. He follows the alley between the two abandoned buildings down, the other teen's back coming into view. This is the third person from the group he's questioned, and he's got the line of questions down to an art.

He walks towards the guy. He doesn't know his name, so he just calls out to him in a low, gruff voice, a part of his Key disguise. ]


Hey, you. Got a minute?

[ closed to Danny ]

[ Skyler is stalking Danny after school on Tuesday. I repeat, he is taking his books and jamming them all in his locker, then sitting at the door he knows Danny uses to leave the school, waiting for him to come by. Suspicious? Maybe, but he's pretty sure Danny isn't expecting what's coming next. WHAT DO ]

[ As if the universe is laughing in the face of all his unspoken questions, a torrent of glowing white ribbons spews from the compact like the act of a vengeful god. Harper barely has time to react as her whole form is overtaken by the same glow, and she lets out an ear-piercing wail as the ribbons whisk around her of their own accord. As they mold to her body, they explode into gleaming bits of light, leaving behind...

A dress. A frilly, white, magical dress, fluttering in the nonexistent breeze.
]

Y-You...

[ Harper seems to finally get a grip, clamping one arm down over the brooch affixed to her chest. It messes up the flow of ribbons, and, with the white tendrils whipping every which way, Harper suddenly rushes him. ]

WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!

[ Rearing back, she lets her fist fly at him with an impeccable form she shouldn't have even had.

(That vengeful god? It's her.)

[ Once her fist connects with Skyler's face, Harper can feel the transfer of energy from her knuckles to his skull. It's immense. So immense she actually tries to pull it at the last second, simply by the virtue of how alarming it was, but alas, poor Disney shounen.

We knew him well.

Gasping at the force of the hit and the way he sails, Harper recoils her other arm, staring owlishly and spooked beyond words.
]

Th-That...

[ She feels light. Heartrendingly light. How could so much force come from that? Wobbling a little, she sort of drops into a seat on the pavement, ribbons and incandescent hair poofing out around her. Something about the whole scenario has sent her 'sequence' all awry, and things just sort of float and glimmer and appear out of order. She looks at her own palm, the one she's not using to try and stuff the ribbons back into the device. ]

What even was that... [ Her eyes flicker up. ] H-Hey!

[ Harper's attention is fixed on him, and she's staring at him so hard that her eyes begin to hurt. For a horrifying moment, she's legitimately under the impression she may have just murdered someone with glitter and her bare hands. So when he finally stirs, peeling himself away from the wall like a very lucky bug off a windshield...

She screams.

Because he's bleeding everywhere and oh merciful lord that was a human print in that wall and maybe she broke his spine or maybe he'd have a brain hemorrhage and still actually die and there are a thousand unknowns about this situation that scare the actual shit out of her —

Gulping in a few quick, panicked breaths, Harper does what any sensible girl would yet again.

She whips out her phone. Network, don't fail her now.
