Finally, at last, things appeared to have calmed down. By now, the appartment complex didn't know how long it would last, so they enjoyed it for all it was worth.
In the Eds' Apartment, a tiny little hand reached into a crayon box, digging inside. Its owners eyes were ever fixed on the coloring book displayed in front of her while another hand was scribbling away, filling the pages with color. It was some time before she got a grip on a crayon she wanted, and she cooed in delight as she held it up to her father.
Double D chuckled, taking the strawberry red and handing her his own crayon to return to the box. "Why, thank you, Marion, this one will be perfect."
He continued to doodle away, lost in the moment. His fears, his worry over Felix (who was away from home to fufill his service), were gone for the moment, replaced by the forgotten youthful joy that such a simple artistic endeavor could bring him. A small, but contented smile was one his face today.
Eddy raised a brow nearby. "...You're actually coloring in it?"
"But of course, Eddy," Double D replied without looking up. "I made a promise to."

"You don't fuck with saints." 4 agreed; he had broken in again some time ago and was helping himself to a sandwich. "I learned that the hard way in Venice."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Hey, kid!" It was Lea, the girl who had been taking care of Oliver's body. She was pounding frantically at the wooden door. "Open up, please; I've got to tell you something!"

(Holy everything! Happy birthday, 42! XD)
Eddy sweatdropped at 4. "Y'know, you coulda just knocked, and we would've let you in."
"Hmm?" At the loud knocking, Double D finally turned. The voice sounded familiar, but...
Slowly, he set his crayons down, motioning to Marion to stay put as he got up and approached the door. "Yes? You need something?"

"Some people just hate to knock," Masahiro said. By this time, his body had gone through the necessary changes and he looked pretty much like a pregnant woman should. Since Perceval did not cause the pregnancy, he would not suffer the labor pains... just the ones of finding a dead baby thanks to the magic Felix had infused inside him. He did not know this, however, and lived ignorantly and joyfully fulfilling his duty.

(OOC: HOW DID YOU KNOW?! AGGH, I AM AGED!)
"You know that guy we've been looking after?" Lea yelled through the door. "His body's gone missing!"
"I've got to say, I have no idea what that means." 4 responded calmly. He shrugged and stood up, having finished his sandwich. "Well, if you guys need any help with this I--"
A loud buzzing filled the air, cutting 4 off mid-sentance. The assassin looked around, shocked, before the window behind him suddenly shattered.
"WE'RE BEING SHOT AT!" 4 screamed as he simeltaneously fell to the ground, safely below the windows. "EVERYONE GET DOWN!"
"W-What?!" Lea screamed as another window shattered. This time, something flew through it, impacting in the wall oppisite of it. "Guys, what's going on in there?!"

(It SAID it was your birthday yesterday on the Home page, at the bottom. XD)
"Missing?" Double D nearly jumped at the loud shatter, swiveling back to the window. Already, the others had begun to panic, dipping underneath furniture and colliding into each other. "EDDY!!" he called out, ducking as he pointed towards his top priority.
"Right!" Understanding, Eddy zipped right over and took a scared Marion into his arms. He would've darted away right after, but when Marion whined and reached out for the crayons and coloring book, he rolled his eyes and snatched those too, quickly darting out of the crossfire.
He met Double D underneath the windows, both of them ducking down low. "What's going on NOW??"
"What makes you think I would know!?!"

"You're a fucking angel; aren't you supposed to know things?!" 4 screamed as he stuck his head up, glancing out the window. A tiny, metal prism floated just a few feet from the shattered glass. 4 barely had time to duck back down before a small piece off of its corner flew off into the room; the ammunition, apparently.
"Okay; the Angels are attacking, apparently." 4 muttered under his breath. "Why do you guys keep getting attacked?! I'm an assassin and even I don't get attacked this much!"
The window was nearly falling apart now-- shards of glass fell on the apartment's floor.
"WIZARD!" A voice, broadcasted over some speaker-system, screamed and shook the very foundations of the building. "I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE, WIZARD! STAND UP SO I CAN SEE YOU!"

"Just another usual day in the FUCKING ITS!" Masahiro yelled as he looked out the window to see who it was. "Hey... it's that prick you guys were telling me about... and it looks like he's pissed."

He was right-- several buildings away, standing carefully on the edge of a rooftop, Desmond stared into the window judgingly. A microphone headset jutted from his temple like some bizzarre growth.
A large shadow loomed overhead, cooling Desmond in its shade.
"DO YOU ADMIT YOUR COWARDICE, WIZARD?!" Desmond screamed into his headset, sending his voice booming out from something above the apartment building. "FACE ME, OR I'LL LEVEL THIS ENTIRE BLOCK!"

"What the bloody fuck's going on?!" Trevor yelled, walking in.
"Just that dumb fuck from before who wants to do what it seems everyone and their mother wants to do these days; kill Double D, his daughter, you, me, everyone in this room, everyone connected to us, and then come up to Heaven to destroy all our souls because he's a stupid fuck who has nothing better to do," Masahiro said. "And he just basically told Double D the equivalent of... COME OUT SO I CAN KILL YOU! IF YOU DO NOT, ALLOW ME TO DISPLAY MY ASSHOLERY BY DESTROYING THE ENTIRE BLOCK!"
"Ahhhhhhhh, can't we just get a break?!" Trevor whined. "Alright, alright, I'll go take care of this. You get Double D out of here safely."

Fleetfoot pulled Masahiro down. "No, you fool! The pregnancy's left you powerless, remember!?"
"You want the~!?" Eddy also began to fume, hurriedly handing Marion to Raz, much to his confusion, as he too stood up to rant and rave. Double D sat ever still underneath. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!! HE ISN'T THE~!!!"
He paused when a hand tugged at his sleeve, and he beheld Double D's pleading stare underneath him. "D..Dee...!"
"Please, Eddy. If anything, I can't let that maniac take innocent lives on my behalf." He began to stand, nodding to the others. "I'll face him up front. There may be no chance of reasoning with him, so the rest of you prepare yourselves and cover me."
No one objected as he stood fully, appearing in the window frame in plain sight.
"I'm right here, Desmond!" he called out, spotting the source of the voice atop the ITS. "There's no need for such a violent display!"

Desmond chuckled. "EXCELLENT; YOU'RE AT LEAST A BIT MORE NOBLE THAN SOME OF YOUR ALTERNATES I'VE KILLED OFF." He said as the blast-prism retreated behind him. "THOUGH I DOUBT YOU'RE NOBLE ENOUGH TO TAKE YOUR OWN MISERABLE LIFE."
Desmond raised his hand to his mouth and spoke into a high-tech bracelet that adorned his wrist. "Fire the God's Eye on the apartment; leave no survivors," He said just loud enough for it to be heard across the street.
"W-what did he just say?" 4 whispered, a look of shock on his face. "What the hell is God's Eye?!"
"The most powerful weapon ever concieved." A voice answered. 4 turned around, much to his shock, and found himself face-to-face with an intruder of some sort.
"'Ello, all!" The man greeted cheerfully. "Name's Orson; though you probably already met me."
"... The time-travel guy?" 4 realized. What was he doing here...?

Double D's insides twisted a little at both statements. This was going to become problematic if Desmond was used to killing... him in particular multiple times. He shook the thought from his head; it was too mind-boggling to think about.
"Allow me to say this, Desmond!" he continued. "I've already seen what I could become. I've already been well-informed. And I can promise you, I have no intention of lowering myself to that monster's standards, ever! But you cannot ask me to forfeit my life; too many people depend on me!"
"Oh my~We cannot let them fire that weapon," Fletcher spoke up urgantly. "It took out nearly all of the western deser~eh?"
"Oh!" Breifly forgetting their predicament, Ed waved. "Hiya, Orson!"

"Oh, you do know me!" Orson realized, a bit surprised. "Well, I suppose that'll make you believe me when I tell you we need to evacuate this whole building, ASAP."
"Are you crazy?!" 4 exclaimed. "How are we supposed to do that?! This building's full of people!"
"It won't even be a building soon." Orson pointed out calmly.

(hmmm, this seems to be getting pretty chaotic. I mean, Prue's already requested to someone else NOT to destroy the apartment complex...)
