melodrama's so much fun }} OPEN NOW, disappearance... again?

After watching Aphra take a body that was much larger than her own, a dragon no less she was curious. She had just discovered she had the ability to possess another body, the one she was currently in. She had managed to take it and override the one that had lived in it. She had destroyed the soul and taken the memories that were within the mind. It felt like nothing she had ever felt before and she was enthralled with the idea of doing it again. The kingpin found herself wanting to try that now just to see what she would be able to do. What bodies she could potentially take for herself. Swaying back and forth the woman settled herself in her home and she closed her eyes. Remembering that feeling, the feeling of pressure, of hammering against that force before suddenly there was a sense of release. Her soul slowly lifted from her body and she floated. If was definitely a strange experience and she then wandered.

Wandered and wandered till she found herself upon lands that were not her's. Lands that she hated. Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she floated her way down into the jungle and through the walls of the temple. It was there that she saw the child she had taken. The one that they and taken so long to rescue from her clutches. Some damage she had done but perhaps she wasn't finished. A grin pulled upon the sector's face before she slowly moved forward and she slowly began to use her mental powers just as she had done with Ravenwood. Attempting to make the boy hallucinate images. Of Roxanne casually wondering why they even bothered to rescue him at all. Of Roam scorning him for making it back alive and being so so weak.

Then the woman moved, attempting to force her soul into his body, wrapping herself around his. Trying to force her will on him and gain his body just for some fun. "Just for a little while I'll show you what it is like to be free."

[glow=white,1,400]LIKE WE FORGET WHO WE CAN TRUST ! — [abbr=VAYNE CIPHER-FOLIE-ROUX, THE TYPHOON, PRIVATEER (HP), 1 YEAR, CRUSHING ON DANNY]｡+ﾟ.[/abbr][/glow]

Vayne didn't truly know how to feel about Alexandre; on one hand, she was glad that he was back, because it made Diya and Roxanne happy. Which of course, was understandable seeing that Alexandre was their son. Like their actual biological son, as opposed to her, adopted by the Captain and her wife. She was completely unaware of Alexandre's feelings towards her, though she did seem to realize how Alex didn't seem to enjoy her presence - but completely unaware that the guy despised her.

Still, Vayne wanted to show that she was a good sister and was just as happy that he was back, even if she never really knew him in the first place. The feline had a fish in her mouth, planning on giving it to Alexandre so he could eat. But as she got to his room in the Temple, Alexandre was nowhere to be found. Frowning, Vayne set the piece of prey down and called out, "R-Roan?" She sounded wary and afraid; had Caesar gotten in the Temple and taken Alexandre? There were signs of a struggle, from what she could tell at least, but no blood was around. No other scent that Vayne could recognize.[glow=COLOR,1,400] ━ ✧*:･ﾟ[/glow]

The reason why Roan hadn't been in the temple that night had been because he was at the tavern. Not to drink his worries away, but merely to play a couple of games of cards in order to de-stress before he headed back to the temple. He figured there wouldn't be an issue with that, considering how stubborn his current pair of patients were. Both Alexandre and Danny didn't seem too keen on merely sitting around when he asked them to, which meant there was little reason for him to be sitting around, watching over them. He knew he'd be informed very quickly if something was wrong. Of course, the soothsayer could've never predicted something like Alex getting possessed. He knew that the power of possession allowed one to take over other bodies, but it generally didn't seem to be used as a way to take over others. Which... honestly was pretty surprising, considering the nature of the power itself. Either way, the siamese didn't return to the temple until a little while after Alexandre had wandered off, his body guided by Sojourn.

In fact, he arrived shortly after Vayne, frowning slightly as he grew close and heard her shaking tone of voice. With his head tilting to one side, the draconic feline questioned, "Vayne? What is it? I wasn't expecting you to be here at this hour... honestly, I'm not sure going to see Alexandre right now is such a good idea." Honestly, he just didn't want the other to lash out at Vayne again for something that wasn't her fault. A nonexistent issue that seemed to linger only in Alex's mind, really. He wasn't given much more time to dwell on that, though. He stepped around Vayne and into the temple without much fuss, although he paused when he saw that Alexandre wasn't around. That was... problematic. As stubborn as the other was, his half-brother generally returned to the temple on time when it came to getting some sleep. The lack of a struggle actually only served to unnerve the medic more. As he glanced around, he found himself muttering, mostly to himself, "Something is wrong..." He then parted his jaws, surprised to smell that Alexandre's scent wasn't all that stale. He had been here recently, but... he had left?

With his tail lashing in anxiety behind him, Roan took a few steps outside of the temple, blue gaze cutting through the night before he sighed. He sat and dug his claws against the earth, musing aloud, "Where is he? Did the Coalition get him again...? I didn't see any signs of a struggle. No blood..." Could they have gotten to him anyways? Him going willingly seemed unlikely, but what if they had done something like threatening a member of his family? That would certainly get Roan to move, at least. Or perhaps... he had put himself into some kind of self-imposed exile? That didn't seem entirely unlikely, considering how guilty and unnerved Alexandre seemed with his past actions. Still... why would he do such a thing, when it was clear that so many cared about him? Letting out a soft huff of frustration, Roan then called out into the night, "Alexandre! Are you there? Where the hell are you?" As his voice echoed out into the air, the soothsayer knew he wouldn't receive an answer. It was an act done mostly out of desperation, and frustration.

It was true, Danny did not stay where he was told to stay, which perhaps didn't always align with his haunting fear of getting in trouble with Roan and any potential cynical commentary that could come with it. Apparently the need to get up and go was enough to take the risk, both of the Soothsayer and of his healing injuries. He thought they were coming along well enough, speaking of, and he wouldn't have to bother Roan about them for very long, nor be a high priority patient any longer. Not the case, between the two he was perhaps going to be looking at a longer time span unless Alexandre refused to recover for one reason or another. He just didn't want to be a bother. And speaking of Alexandre, Danny would be the first to admit that he had grown a small liking to the boy during their time in the temple, though neither of them seemed the most peppy and talkative type. The disdain towards Vayne hadn't gone unnoticed when he witnessed it, but he didn't have the heart to tell her that, nor did he have the will to tell Alexandre to take it easy. That was perhaps his only qualm with the guy, everything else only sparked intrigue. And when you were stuck in the jungle hospital with somebody, you started to pick up on their habits, and this was certainly out of the ordinary.

Danny looked around, both around the outside of the temple and the inside where the feline duo had already noticed something off, and Alex being gone. The wolf glanced at the bedsheets, uncomfortable by their unkept appearance. "I can go, um...look, y'know, for him." Maybe he was just wandering around, or was still close enough to bring back home. He didn't want to imagine that something terrible had happened...again.
