::As he grasped the handle it was jerked from him. There he was, Frank Douglas. Ofcouse they didn't know his name so that's the first thing he took care of. "Hello, I'm Frank" he said with a delightful smile that made his scarred face seem friendly. "Who are you people?"::

Kayla stopped her rummaging as the pain in her head disappeared, just as quickly as it had come. She slowly straightened, confused. Definately not normal.
Shadow opened his eyes, his mental blocks firmly in place and larger than before. It was a slight strain to keep them this way, but Shadow wasn't taking any chances. He'd get used to the feeling after a while.
And then the door opened, revealing a smiling young man with a scarred face.
Kayla turned to face him, still a little dazed. "Very nice to meet you," she said, the politeness her father had drilled into her coming back full-force. "I'm Kayla." Idily, she wondered how old he was- he might even be the same age as herself.
Shadow's eyes narrowed.
* * *
Almost as soon as Frank had started up the staircase, the bartender could stand straight again, with only the phantom pains pulsing in his head. Around him, people were looking back and forth in confusion. He didn't leave, the bartender thought grimly. And now it looks like he's going after someone else.
He grabbed the gun under the bar and headed up the stairs after Frank.

Artemis blinked at the young man, a little shocked at the sudden flare up in her head, which was just settling into a dull ache. "Great, I had a headache before from all these strange men barging in my bedroom, and now... But where are my manners? It's a pleasure to meet you Frank, I believe our little congregation was just about to move along to the Church, if you care to join us." As she spoke she inspected the newcomer, and noticed the fact that the pain seemed to precede his appearance. Mind probing, and from such a young person... she thought silently. She was just faintly familiar with it, and had been taught enough about mental defense to shield herself quite well. Since she was in the presence of Shadow, she had known to protect her greater secrets, but...
it still hurt like the blazes.
Artemis walked to the door, held it open graciously, and motioned for others to progress to the church.

::Frank didn't move. He was blocking the door. "Um, I noticed you are all pretty powerful, and I really don't know how I knew that, but I can feel something, and my gut says find out." Frank stepped to the side. "Just a moment ago I saw a vision" he said in a solem voice that chilled the room. "I will go with you all."::

Ify nodded at the congregation. "Shall we?" Walking though the doorway he realized that it may not be a good idea to go out though the back. "Hey, does anyone know if there is a back way?"

"The window?" Kayla suggested. "That's all i know of. Of course, it's also my first time here."
"Not mine," Shadow said suddenly, in a rare display of comaraderie. He straightened, standing clear of the wall. "Turn left. There's a door at the end of the hall, and stairs. The door's locked."

(dammit, i gotta check more often, i totally coulda done something back there in the room.) "bah, you call that a headache?" said the barbarian to himself(gods, everything happens so damned fast!) "well, lemme just go through this handy window and see if i cant catch up." *leaping from where he had fallen, he jumps up and through the window and rolls on the gorund to avoid getting hurt.* "ok... so, there was a door at the foot at the stairs, and another off to the...left of them, dso i need to go..." after several seaconds whirling, the tall man gains his direction back* "this way." *and heads around the side* "no, i'll get that uncouth man who attacks ladys in such a fashion."

(( Oh, it did too. Here, I'll explain it.
First, since we were discussing how to leave, the barbarian thought we had already left. Instead of running out of the room to catch up, he took a flying leap out of the window and rolled when he hit the ground. Since Shadow had mentioned the door to the left, the barbarian had to reorient himself and head for where that door should lead, which in this case came out around the side of the building. The barbarian headed that way, while muttering revenge on Keami for disarming Kayla. ))

"Good idea Kayla, lets use the window" Turning around Ify bursts out in laughter as some guy starts poofing about then dives out of the window rolls and keeps on running. "What was that all about? No matter, I suppose we should get going." He walked over to the window and inspected it. "Shoul'nt be too hard for us to climb down"

Kayla gave him an odd look. "Um, no." she said. "I think i'd rather take the stairs, thank you."
(( Sometimes, Sirify, i just want to know how much of other people's posts you actually read. ))

(whaddya mean you couldnt understand it? it made perfect sense. well, sorta......) "ah, heres the door.... lemme get ready." *as he mumbles this, he pulls his gourd o' drinks from his belt, takes several swigs of Mt. Dew, and perks up.* "ah, never fails to amaze me, this stuff." *then he puts it back on its hook, and pulls arouns his lajangtang, and readys to attack when he exits the building.*

::"The stairs huh...." Frank said remembering he was about three secconds away from being shot by a confused bar tender. "I..er uhh" he shoved zookie towards the window as he ran that way himself. The bartender (Ha HES MINE NOW!!!) looked around the corner and up the stairs where Frank was a seccond ago.
A thud could be heard from the room, and then a voice from outside and below. ~Oh dear, and it was quite a familliar voice too ~ Like the one you know you heard just a short time ago, but you don't remember if it were a dream, or if it were reality.~ "Come on" Frank said to whoever was left in the building. He had jumpped out and landed perfectly unharmed::

Climbing out the window he grabbed the ledge and put his foot on a ledge below it. "Here" He offered his hand up to help the ladies down from the window. "Least I could do since I sort of completely ignored Shadow and we went out the window anyway... I sort of have selective short-term memory loss....."

(( Neith....You TOOK my BARTENDER...! Perhaps Kayla shall randomly shove Frank to make up for it. ))
"You don't say," Kayla replied, looking from the ground to Ify's hand uneasily. "That could be very inconvienant. No need for the hand, thanks anyways- i'm not going to jump." She looked to Artemis, offering her own hand. "You wanna teleport with me? Or are you going to take a dramatic leap for the ground, complete with a hair toss and two backflips?"
