DOOOOOOOOOM!

DOOM COMES FOR US ALL! LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR, THE SKIES SHALL RAIN WITH MOBOCRACY AND THE DARKEST FIERY PITS SHALL CRACK OPEN, OUR SOULS FORFEIT!

[He stops to take a large breath.]

THERE IS NO DELIVERANCE FROM THIS FATE! WE SHALL ALL QUAKE AT THE CHAOS LIKE THE WORMS WE ARE!

A SICKENED, SENSITIVE SHADOW WITHERING IN HANDS THAT ARE NOT HANDS!! GODS, THE HANDS! GHASTLY MIDNIGHTS OF ROTTING CREATION!! CORPSES OF DEAD WORLDS!!! THE WINDOW! THE WINDOW!!!

[Running is heard behind him and a voice is heard. It sounds like Ciel's voice]

There he is!

[Q's voice follows.]

Miss Minerva, now!

[There is the shot of something being fired while McGonagall lets loose a spell of her own.]

Incarcerous!

[A series of ropes fly in the air and bind Orpheus so that he can't move. He continues to struggle, all the while screaming.]

UNHAND ME YOU FIENDS! YOU ARE ALL IN LEAGUE WITH THE DARKNESS! IT COMES TO KILL US ALL! IT-

[Clang! Q opted to use a small tranquilizer gun on Orpheus from the back, knocking him right out.]

What a mess.

[He turns towards the camera, adjusting his tie as if there was no problem in the world. Even in dire situations, he is a calm man.]

It appears that a bout of paranoia has hit citizens of the city. At first we had assumed it was just the local population, but now with Orpheus....also affected, it means some of you may be in turn. We are trying to find the source of these matters, but our search has been fruitless.

Even the demonic population isn't quite sure what is going on.

Be vigilant. If you feel you are affected, please do your best to stay calm.

[As he speaks in the back, you can hear Ciel and Minerva talking about locking Orpheus up for his own good...and their ears.]

...

Well, that was the worst bout he's seen today, and Theodore's clearly worried. If it could get that bad, to the point of restraint...]

We of the Velvet Room are not unaffected as well. Both of my sisters are acting rather strangely, and I believe one of them may have to be confined herself should she worsen. [First guess doesn't count.]

...Dare I ask what's wrong? [Not that she isn't unaffected too, but... six years of constant paranoia helps at least keep some sort of outer calm. Considering...] I-I have some magic that may be able to help...

[No Aqua, resist the temptation to freak. You stood against things four times your size and more you can handle a little paranoia-]

[Of course, it doesn't help from the beginning message, but it only occurred to him that perhaps it would be best if they thought their little brother wasn't aware.

Elizabeth especially.]

I don't know if it will help. One of them is paranoid about the coming days, though certainly not to the extent of Master Orpheus due to her reserved nature, and the other is... She is herself, but she is much more dangerous. She has always been excitable and battle ready, though feels as if her aggression has risen tenfold within the past few days.

[She also has been dropping hints that she and the two should battle, her versus them, and that she would utterly destroy them both. It's more frightening than usual.]

[More than likely not. She shudders.]

Do you think Binding her could work...? More importantly, are you and the first sister you mentioned okay?

[She thinks about it, and he seems worried. Just don't mind her quickly seizing the opportunity to distract from her own paranoia. It's the only way she knows how to cope.]

I may not be the best of the Masters from my world, but I am one of the better mages.

I am very well, though the first is... paranoid, as the feeling is called. There are many cases as such within the city, though hers has taken on more of a form that she believes she can defeat whatever evil persists, I think.

[She's strong, but she's not unpredictable.]

What is Binding? It may help.

Hm. [Oh, fun...]

Bind is a spell I can use to trap multiple creatures or people in place at once. Think of it as a kind of crowd control?

...Which sister?

[this is very important okay]

[Theodore glances about, as if she were to appear within his vicinity at her spoken name, and for the same reasons as above he privates this too. Why hadn't he just thought to do it in the first place?]

Elizabeth.

[yeah that's what she was afraid of.

Even if Margaret is the strongest from what Theo's said, Elizabeth... is definitely the most unpredictable.]

If you need help, I'll do what I can. Minato, too. [just gonna volunteer him here... because he lives next door to her he's involved no matter what he does]

[Yes, which is why he's most concerned about restraining her. It's too bad she doesn't have a door anymore ~~though she would have destroyed it if it were in her way~~.]

Thank you, though I would not want either of you to come to harm if she becomes violent. I will contact you should anything occur... though, with her nature, she will certainly do something to catch the attention of the city.
