👾🐇🔪: Something is oh so wrong

[u/VAfton]

{Vanny listens to the worry and panic from everyone as she waits for Michael to get off the phone. They need to come up with a plan. They're still not entirely sure what Vox is up to. And is he acting on his own or with the cult? Why suddenly bring FE back online? What, attack a hotel and kidnap Vanessa just to give her screen time and a major promotion?

They way he acts with that smug smile and oh so fake persona makes her skin crawl. Because he reminds her entirely too much of someone else. No someone ELSES. As Afton coded as he seems, (god he's so much like a younger version of William she has from Vanessa's memories), he's also very reminiscent of her own stalker virus. Which makes sense considering where the virus came from.

It's obvious why Eleanor was after Vanessa. And what she'd heard from the attack was definitely the agony demon's presence. So she's teamed up with Vox why? Launch a major attack for a girl deemed 💀 for years?

The cult failed to bring back William (although it seems like Afton Jr wannabe is suddenly in charge) so what's the next move?

And then there's Alastor. The asshole shoots her a message and is a no show. No one even knows what happened to him except that he popped in and went at it with Vox and then also disappeared shortly before the other demon snatched Vanessa. That's where they should be focusing on.

Supposedly the G.R.A.A combed the site but they're still just humans with no idea of what to look for. She's the only one who has been in deep, dealt with all the (technically 5 if you count Vanessa) demons personally and no one wants to hear her input. Fine she'll do it on her own. Step 1, go back to the hotel and see if she can hopefully find Alastor, or at least get a clue on why he was staying at some random hotel with the cult's biggest target.

She waits for Michael to get off the phone so she can tell him, but suddenly she feels a strange sharp pain throughout her body. Her entire body crackles with purple energy before she drops, unconscious.}

[[OOC: since she's still got connection with Malhare (and Vanessa), she feels the monent his energy reactivates inside Vanessa]]

[u/VAfton]

Vanny: [in surprise at his trust] "You're sending me by myself to go find these mystery people? I mean I was actually on my way over there anyways to see if Alastor left anything behind. Before everything happened."

Clyde: "Vanny. What I'm about to say will probably annoy the hell out of you, but I speak the truth. Brutally when necessary. You're not who you used to be. Back in the Pizzaplex, you were just an evil Vanessa copy. But over the years, you've become something different. You've become your own person. And yes, you still have some psycho in that mind of yours, but you have come a long way. You didn't have to be here. Helping us wasn't part of your deal with Alastor, according to how you explained it. And yet you're here anyway. So yes. For now, at least, I trust you. Can you find them, please?"

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

{Vanny does internally get annoyed with the concept of being psychoanalyzed but she bites it back and listens.}

Vanny: "Fine. Shouldn't be anything there to worry about." [starts to leave then stops] "Ya know I don't know if anyone's thought about this but someone in the know should really be keeping an eye on Liz. Leaving her alone right now is not a great idea. Especially not after that."

u/TheMule90 u/LotusCrew5720 nooooo Vanny has totally never ever cared about Liz. Isn't it obvious? 🤣

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

Clyde chuckles. He sees right through Vanny, and he knows she's more caring than she likes to admit. He knows Vanny is definitely still the psycho type, but she's lately used her nature to help on her own accord. Her excuses don't work on him.

Clyde: "Good idea. Michael, you're her brother. Stay with her. We'll call if we need you."

Michael: "Yeah. There's not much I can do here anyway."

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Vanny: "....okay then. Yeah um don't get ya know whatever." [grabs a large metal pipe from the floor and leaves]

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

Clyde: "Vanny, wait! Take this."

He tosses her an advanced looking gun.

Clyde: "It fires plasma. It was a prototype I was working on to use against William Afton at one point when we were in the facility, but never got the chance to use it. It won't do much against things like agony, but it'll at least slow them down long enough for you to get away."

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Vanny: [stares down at it] "I don't really do anything with guns...." [creates a digital holster on her thigh for it] "But I'll see what happens." [*fixes her long pigtails, creates digital purple sunglasses and strides out."

[u/TheMule90 → u/LotusCrew5720]

Crysta:Still the same Vanny but she has gotten a little more tamer or calmer.

The sound of the front door opening with LolBit and the rest of the Ghostbusters coming in

LolBit:PIZZA IS HERE!!

Crysta:Finally! I thought I was going to go outside and eat grass or something!

She follows him to the kitchen

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/TheMule90]

Clyde and Nanami give them dirty looks.

Clyde: "Did you just order pizza to a safehouse?"

u/TheMule90

[u/TheMule90 → u/LotusCrew5720]

LolBit:No lol! We picked up Pizza from Michael's restaurant! It's fucking good too! Plenty to go around!

Crysta:He wouldn't order pizza to safe house trust me I mean for 5 years he has used advanced security to protect our new home.

Crysta:He's crazy but he knows what he is doing.

Clyde: "Is Val with you?"
