"Nice shot Absol," SN muttered, and the three ran to the other side of the room, deciding that it was all of the sudden much more appealing that the side they had been on. Pikachu led, and Absol stayed at the back, looking over its shoulder. Evanesce looked over her shoulder. "Take a picture, it lasts longer," she said sarcastically.

Orin flinched, startled. He forced a grin. "What are you talking about?" Yeah, he was pretending he knew nothing about what Evanesce was talking about. Real smart. He tried not to look guilty, like he had been caught tormenting a little kid and the police walk in. That had happened once, but he had talked his way out of it. Lovett blinked, staring at the now-empty space in front of her, then turned around, continuing to glare at SN and the Pokemon. But now they were across the room, and she was getting bored of threatening them. It wouldn't be long before she simply just went in for the kill. But for now... she'd wait. Let one of the other villains torment her for a while. Like Sweeney. "Mr. Todd, how 'bout you an' your friends go have a nice chat with the girl?" she suggested.

Absol and Pikachu moved in front of SN again as she looked for another way out other than the locked door. Not. Working. Sparks were flying from the red dots on Pikachu's cheeks, Absol was growling. They weren't going to let anyone get to their trainer without a fight. Evanesce turned back and folded her arms. "Don't act dumb. Jeez, and you wonder why I think you're a moron." She was getting annoyed now.

"Well, there wouldn't be a problem if you weren't so damn hot." Uh-oh. Brilliant. He had said it. Orin bit his lip, and then quickly tried to change the subject. "Soooo... If I bring a few people here, can someone get rid of 'em?" he asked loudly, forcing himself to look anywhere except Evanesce. "Mr. Todd!" Sweeney finally was aware that Lovett had been speaking to him. He raised his head and stared at SN with his cold, dead grey eyes. Normally, he would've gotten up to go deal with her, but he wasn't thinking normally at the moment. His wife was dead by his own hand, and he was trying to think of a good way to punish Lovett for lying to him, and then to punish himself in some way. So he simply grunted and looked away again.

"Pikachu, go get that door open!" SN hissed. The mouse pokemon nodded and scampered over to the door, trying to see how it could open it. Finally, it settled on zapping it with a thunder, but it made more of a scene than it had meant it to. A huge clap of thunder, and a door still standing. It didn't work. SN growled in frustration. Evanesce crossed her arms, but for once, didn't say anything. She couldn't think of a witty comeback. So, confused by her own action, she blinked, wondering why she couldn't think of anything to say.

"Um... yeah. I'll go get 'em, you all can decide what to do with them. One stupid flower guy, and..." Orin eyed Evanesce again. "Ah, what the hell. I'll bring the girl too. Can't let 'em get together, y'know?" If he couldn't have Audrey, he'd make sure Seymour couldn't, because he was a jerk like that.

Evanesce shrugged. "Whatever." She needed something to do since SN already had someone to murder her. Said blonde girl was trying to find something in the way of an airvent or something. Absol had its eyes on Lovett. Without SN's okay, it slashed a Razor Wind at her. It was pretty mad at her for scaring SN. Pikachu was now looking around on the 'dangerous' side of the room, trying to find a way out.

"Um... yeah. I'm going now. I'll be back." And, with that said, Orin slipped out of the "villains exit" of the room. Of course, it only works for villains. Why else would it be labeled like that? Lovett yelped as the attack sliced into her middle. Okay, she was seriously ticked. You can't attack a madwoman murderer and expect her just to smile and ask if you'd like some more sugar for your tea. Her eyes narrowed as she bared her teeth in an animal-like snarl, charging at Absol with her knife.

"Crap! Absol! Return!" there was a bright red flash of light as SN recalled Absol to its pokeball. Then, SN ran for it. She wasn't about to stay there in the line of fire! Pikachu looked around at the sudden comotion. "Pika...CHU!" Pikachu sent a powerfull Thunderbolt at Lovett. It was just as protective as Absol was. "PIKACHU! Did you not learn ANYTHING from Absol?!" SN demanded angrilly. Evanesce shrugged. "See you in a bit," she muttered. Why was she feeling so weird? A small girl dressed all in green seemed to materialize in a corner of the room. She looked out at the scene, eyes wide. Everywhere she went, loud fighting. Why couldn't everyone just settle things peacefully? Cura tried to stay as quiet as possible, but her glittery green dress and her wings were bound to stick out.

Lovett fell over after being shocked, twitching. She could honestly admit that she had never been electrocuted before. And, of course, Sweeney approved. "Bra-vo little yellow thing!" he said softly, a small smile on his face for the first time in a week.
So, off Orin went on his search for Seymour and Audrey. Through Skid Row- nope, not there. Various other places in New York? Not there, either. Where could those two be!? To be honest, Seymour, Audrey, and FA had used Halloween Town's mausoleum transport system to get them to Fleet Street and were currently hanging out in Lovett's pie shop. Sort of. Well, you see, Lovett has this piano in the back room. So Seymour decided he wanted to tell Audrey how much he liked her through song. So naturally, FA the lover of musicals, suggested a song. She had plenty of time to practice it and could barely play it correctly on the piano using both hands. Of course, it had taken Seymour months to actually work up the nerve to tell Audrey, so that's why she was able to practice. So Seymour, after about five minutes of looking everywhere except Audrey and pacing back and forth nervously, gave the signal to being playing. And, since this was Lovett's shop, FA had to play a song by the same guy who composed for Sweeney Todd: Stephen Sondheim. So... the "Lovely" song. Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. FA secretly thanked her school's drama department for performing this as she played for Seymour. "Um... You're lovely... Why did I say I'd do this!? Absolutely lovely... Uh... I-I think- Crap! Lovely is the one thing you can do..." Seymour was trying to find a way to escape, and kept failing.

SN took a deep breath as she was able to stop now. "Thanks Pikachu," she said, appology in her voice. Pikachu smiled at them both. It loved being praised because that meant it did something right. It scampered onto SN's shoulder and nuzzled her face, much like a pet cat or rat would do. They were tight. Pikachu had been SN's first pokemon, and was still her favorite. Cure blinked at it, and Pikachu noticed her. It scampered over, clambered onto her shoulder, and looked her in the face, wondering when she'd got there. "Hello," Cura said in her quiet voice.

Lovett soon recovered, though, and got to her feet. "That's it. No more Nice Lovett!" she snarled. Now, instead of ticked, she was... extremely ticked. Peeved. Pissed. Worse than that. Let me tell you one thing: you DON'T want an extremely angry Lovett trying to kill you. She knelt down, picked up the knife she had dropped, and turned to Pikachu. "AHA!" Orin just had to follow the singing. He'd recognize that voice anywhere! "Shut up Krelbourn, d'ya wanna make us all deaf with that singin'!?" he snarled as he seemed to appear out of nowhere. "No time for fangirlism today, I have a job." So, with that, he grabbed one of Audrey's arms and one of Seymour's arms and dragged them out of the shop. "Have fun at your villain convention!" FA called with a grin, then went back to the music. "Let's see... Perfect, sweet and warm and winsome..." She picked up right where Seymour had left off. Might as well practice, right?

SN's eyes widened, while Pikachu's narrowed. "Pikachu! Move it!" the little mouse leaped off of Cura's shoulder and darted off to the other side of the room, zigzaging to make it harder to catch it. Cura watched with big eyes. "L-leave it alone!" she spoke up, just loud enough to be heard. A girl could try, couldn't she? Pikachu looked back at the little pixie-girl, but kept running. It couldn't afford to stand still at the moment. It had a crazy lady trying to turn it into a Pika-bob. As in, a pikachu kabob.

Lovett turned, narrowly missing Cura as she continued to chase Pikachu. She wasn't going to stop until one of them dropped dead. And it wasn't likely to be her.
"V-villain convention!?" Seymour gasped. "Nope. Admin was lying. I'm just takin' you guys to the nearest toy store. Of course it's a villain convention!" Orin snapped. "And we're here." He marched into the Treehouse, dragging his captives behind him. "See? Brought 'em. One complete nerdy dude and one stupid blonde girl. Go do whatever you guys wanna do with 'em, just let me deliver the final blow."

"Pika pi!" Pikachu called desperately to SN. "I'm TRYING! I can't..freakin...find...AHA! Pikachu! Return!" Pikachu was caught midstride by the flash of red light, sucking it back into the ball. She secured it back on her belt, where it was safe from the crazy lady, as she now refered to Lovett. Cura now felt worse than before. She hadn't even been able to help Pikachu. Evanesce smirked. Finally, something to occupy her time! Lets see...play it friendly, she thought. For a few minutes anyways. Lure 'em in. "Hello. Who are you two?" she said with sickly sweetness. Her hand went behind her back, summoning her sword.
