The next morning Adrian woke up with a raging headache. He rolled out of bed and grabbed his boxers and gathered up the rest of his clothes. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the red head through tired eyes. 'Never again, never again.' He mentally repeated as he looked for the bathroom. He splashed his face a couple of times, trying to wake up, then got dressed and rushed out of the apartment. The morning was so bright that it hurt his eyes.
He found a small café, "Coffee, please, a lot of coffee." He ordered, rubbing his temples, "Go away, stupid fucking headache." He cursed wincing at the shouts coming from the kitchen. 'God, work is going to be impossible today.' He thought, he never heard the announcement last night because other noises filled the apartment. It took a lot of coffee before he finally felt a little better. He sighed, sipping another cup.
Zeke rolled out of bed that morning and stretched, today he was going to drag Adrian along with him to round up all the children, and Valkyrie if he came across her. He stood under the shower, staring at the drain for a while, he was lucky he didn't have a hangover after all he drank last night. He turned off the water and shook his head, getting rid of some of the water. He quickly changed and left his small apartment.

Valkyrie woke up at the same time as usual in the morning, she slipped out of bed, only in her underwear and then slunk away to the bathroom, going inside and removing the rest of her clothing. She got into the shower and pondered on just what she'd do that day.
She finally got out and got dressed, drying her hair and brushing it and then leaving her house. The woman walked tiredly down the street, her shoulders hunched forward and her black eyes very tired, she wasn't hungover really, she just felt a little shitty cause it was so damn early. Yawning she looked over and through a cafe window, she paused when she saw Adrian inside.
Laughing to herself she went into the cafe and over to where he was, grinning from ear to ear. "Have a fun night last night?" She asked him curiously, wiggling an eyebrow at him and taking a seat across from him. "It's a good thing we don't have to work today, man, you look like shit."

Adrian glared at her, "Yeah well you always look like shit, do you even own a mirror?" He asked jokingly. "We don't have to work today, when the fuck was this decided?" He felt his headache returning, "God, never again, that woman was a freak. Seriously I was in fear for my life." He told Valkyrie, shaking his head. "Safe to say red-heads are crazy." He mumbled, resting his head on his hand, "What about you? Do anything fun last night?" He asked while finishing the last of his coffee.
Zeke went to Adrian's house, not surprised that he wasn't there, he sighed and shoved his hands into his pockets, slowly walking down the street. He was thinking of where his friend could be, then it hit him, coffee. Adrian always drank coffee after a rough night, so Zeke headed towards the cafe.

She laughed and stuck her tongue out at him. "I used to own mirrors but they all broke when I looked at them." Valkyrie grinned and watched him, laughing to herself at this. "Last night, Boss said that because the celebration is today that we don't have to work..." Personally though she thought that was utter and complete bullshit. But would she say that? No, no way in hell. "Well, last night I got hit on again by some rather muscular man, and then Zeke and I went and hung out at the clock tower for a while, and that was about it..." Valkyrie told him honestly, smiling.

Adrian narrowed his eyes, "Day off for a celebration, sounds like something is going on with Authority and they don't want to risk one of us catching them with their hands caught in the cookie jar." Adrian stated, leaning back in his chair, "Though it would be weird, them acting all paranoid, they are after all the higher power, we can't challenge them, so why would they be so..." His thoughts trailed off, he was trying to think it through. He sighed, "Whatever. Zeke took you to our tower!" He shook his head, "I feel so heartbroken, that was our special spot. That's where I lost my virginity and now my image of that sacred place has been ruined by you." Adrian placed a hand on his chest and pretended to cry.
"Oh please, spare us the drama." Zeke slapped Adrian over the head and nodded at Valkyrie, "We have to move the kids today." Adrian rubbed the back of his head, "Gosh, just rush off into business on our day off. How rude, right Valkyrie?" He asked, both men looked at her, expecting her to choose a side.

Valkyrie looked at both of them and then slowly looked away, pretending that she hadn't heard either of them. "Mm... Lovely day today." She commented absently, chewing on her bottom lip and then nodding to herself a little. The woman was not about to choose sides, she was just going to remain neutral when it came to being aorund these two. "Been a long time since we've had a day off, maybe later i'll have a nap." Valkyrie said simply, just speaking to herself now and trying not to start laughing.
Clearing her throat she looked back at them. "What was that you two were going on about? Kids, business, rushing?" She waved her hand lazily, grinning at them in a dopey manner, acting as ignorant as possible. "You guys are moving the kids today? Is that what you were saying Zeke? Oh, that's so nice of you, very nice indeed, poor kids." Valkyrie nodded again and gave them a simple look.

Both men glared at her, "Refusing to take sides huh? I see you how play." Adrian said shaking his head. He pushed his chair back and stood up, "You know what Zeke let's go. I refuse to be around Switzerland." He wrapped an arm around his friend, Zeke nodded, "Yeah, let's go. Don't even think about following us Valkyrie or we will kick your ass." Zeke told her, pretending to be a bully. Adrian went along with his friend's game, "Yeah we'll take your lunch more and shove your head into the toilet." He threatened. Both men back up, Adrian did the whole 'I'm watching you' gesture.
The men left the cafe, curious if she was going to follow them. They walked down the street at a relatively slow pace. "So we have the day off, strange." Adrian stated absently, Zeke just nodded, "Yeah it is, best keep our noses out of it. So are you going to the celebration tonight?" Zeke asked lowly. Adrian nodded, "I've never been and honestly I am curious. I've heard things about it, the whole 'dead disappearing.'" He did the hand quotations as he said this, Zeke nodded and glanced over his shoulder, curious to see if she was behind them.

Valkyrie gaped at them in shock and then pouted as they left. She sighed and sat there for a moment or two, feeling left out and then finally getting up and walking out of the cafe. She looked down at the street and saw them walking and then looked around and saw an alley, she grinned and slipped down the alleyway, running off.
She sprinted past a couple buildings and then came out of another alleyway and ended up right in front of Zeke and Adrian. Valkyrie smiled at them lazily, "You guys are damn slow walkers." She turned away from them and walked down the street. She wasn't 'following' them, thus they could not stick her head in a toilet.

Adrian side-glanced at Zeke then smirked, he ran up to her and wrapped an arm around her, "Yeah, we were just waitin' for you. Hey! Did you pay my bill?" He asked, shaking her a little. Zeke strayed behind his eyes on their backs. He sighed and shook his head at his friend's idiocy. He quickly caught up to the two, he walked calmly with his hands in his pockets, his mind stuck on Authority.
Adrian's goofy smile disappeared for a moment when he noticed Zeke was in deep thought. He removed his arm from Valkyrie's shoulder and stared at the ground at he walked. A large shadow fly above them causing Adrian to look up, "Hey, a Sxrix!" He shouted surprised, it was a beautiful animal, and pretty rare. "They haven't been here in forever. They must be coming for the celebration." He looked at Valkyrie excitedly.

Valkyrie looked up at the the creature and smiled a little, looking over at Adrian. "Amazing." She grinned and nudged him and then went kinda quiet, looking a little worried. "I didn't pay your bill... You think they noticed?" She asked, giving Adrian a curious look and then smiling at him sheepishly.
"Eh, stop thinking, Zeke, you're going to hurt yourself." Valkyrie muttered, looking at him and then looking away. Sometimes it was better to not think at all, especially about The Authority, and she could tell thats what he was thinking about form the look on his face.

Adrian nodded, "Oh yeah, next time I come in they are definitely going to over charge me, or spit in my coffee. I'm rooting for the latter." He joked. Zeke lead the way to the Safe House, where he rounded up the group of children. One older woman greeted them, "Good morning, I have excellent news! It turns out that some families took in some of the children, there are only 10 left." She stated, motioning towards the group of small children, they still seemed unaware of the events that took place yesterday. Zeke nodded and mumbled a 'Thank you' before he walked up to the kids.
"Alright kids, we got ourselves a home. This is is Adrian, he's going to help us, and that woman is Valkyrie." He stated pointing as he said their names. Adrian winked at the children, "We're gonna have loads of fun, and with that woman especially! She loves it when children pull her hair, she finds it quite orgasmic in fact, a masochist that one is." He shook his head at her. One little boy with sandy colored hair blinked a few times at Valkyrie, "What does orgasmic mean?" He asked, tightening his grip on his toy bear.
A silver haired boy shook his head, "You don't know what that means. Idiot." He mumbled and looked at his blonde haired friend, a young girl, "It means intense or unrestrained excitement." She stared at Valkyrie, "My brother talked about it once, he was reading some facts on it. He wasn't a nymphomaniac or anything, he was more like an encyclopedia, always sprouting out facts." She rambled. Adrian listened to this girl talk, 'Fuck she's smarter than me.'
The little girl approached Valkyrie, "Why is your hair white?" She asked, eying Valkyrie.

She blushed when Adrian said that and gave him a dirty glare, shaking her head at him. "Don't tell kids that sort of stuff." Valkyrie whispered into his ear and gave him a half-hearted glare before her attention went back to the children, listening to them and watching them.
"My hair is white because of my parents genetics, it's just the way I was born, their chromosomes joined up and when I was born my hair was white." Valkyrie explained to the young girl, smiling at her softly. "You're bright, aren't you?" She grinned and looked at the other nine children, studying them all and then straightening herself a little bit.

Adrian chuckled and crossed his arms, watching the kids, he wondered if any were going to become attached to him. He also wondered when they were going to have to explain to some of these children why their parents weren't coming for them. He sighed and rubbed his head, 'How troubling.' He really did not want to explain the situation to them.
The little girl nodded, "Yes I have a high IQ." She informed Valkyrie. Zeke coughed to get the kids attention, "Alright so names?" He asked, the kids all stated their names. The last three were the silver haired boy, the sandy haired boy, and the blonde haired girl. The sandy haired boy smiled brightly, "I'm Elijah!" He then held up his teddy bear, "And this is Desursus!" He exclaimed happily. The silver haired boy rolled his eyes, "I am Naja." He stated with a bored tone. Last was the blonde, "I am Aaraa, it means to make more pleasing, attractive, impressive." She finished.
Zeke nodded, "Follow me to your new home." He stated and lead the way. Aaraa walked beside Adrian and Valkyrie, she stared at Adrian, "I don't like you." She simply stated before skipping ahead to catch up with the others. Adrian's mouth dropped open, "You don't even know me!" He shouted to her back, then looked at Valkyrie, "How can she not like me? Now you, that's understandable but me!"
The house wasn't anything to big, it would fit everyone, though rooms would have to be shared. Their was an area were a garden could be grown, 'That could be nice, flowers and all that shit.' Adrian thought. Zeke mumbled something about being here, he looked at Adrian and Valkyrie, "Valkyrie you're welcome to stay here too." He told her casually. Adrian interfered, "No it is not okay! It's torture just seeing her during the day, why would you want her here at night?" He questioned and pointed at Valkyrie, "It is the spawn of Satan, for all we know during the night she'll be putting ideas into those poor kids heads." Aaron exaggerated.

Valkyrie gaped at Aaraa too and then laughed hard, she liked that little girl, she was cute and smart, very funny. She ignored Adrian and followed the kids, her eyes bright with amusement, it was nice being around so many people and speaking them, she didn't hang around people much for some reason.
She smiled at Zeke's offer and went to say something but stopped and listened to Adrian, she scoffed. "Thank you, Zeke, but I think it'd be better if I didn't stay here, there's not much room. But i'll come around and help you guys with whatever I can, i'll try to avoid the children though, I wouldn't want them to become satanists and create a cult with me as their leader and then have them decide that they want to sacrifice Adrian or anyhting like that." Valkyrie declined him, her voice polite and warm, she gave the two men a cheeky grin.

Once Zeke got the kids under control and settled he turned to Valkyrie and Adrian, “Let’s go to the celebration.” He stated, Adrian nodded, “That sounds good to me.” Tonight got darker faster and very light colors lit up the night. Adrian crossed his arms, “What’s up with all the colors?” He honestly knew nothing about this celebration. Zeke sighed, “The lights show that the souls of the dead are moving on. If this day didn’t exist, those souls would soon become filled with hate, who do you think they’d use their hate against?” Zeke looked at Adrian and raised an eyebrow. Adrian nodded his head, watching the lights, the two men were unaware of what was happening in the city.
“Look honey, the lights, they are so beautiful!” A woman shouted to her boyfriend. The man nodded and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. A few moments later his eyes went bank and he dropped. The silence around them was broken with a scream. She grabbed him and shook him, “Honey! Wake up, what’s wrong, what’s happening!?” She screamed, tears streaming down her face. In remote places all around the city random people starting dying, their souls were unable to leave their bodies, they were trapped.
After the celebration Adrian was starving, he wanted ramen. He looked at Valkyrie and Zeke as he rubbed his stomach, “Ramen?” He asked, Zeke shrugged and nodded. A younger woman pushed past them, her shoulder roughly hitting Adrian’s. He hissed, “Hey, watch it!” The woman looked back at them with teary eyes. Zeke tilted his head, “Why was she crying?” Adrian was rubbing his shoulder, “Probably because her boyfriend left her because she’s fucking rude.” Adrian shrugged his anger off, his mood changing once he smelled his noodles.
