"Ok... You've made your point. Lets find your damn shell so that you don't kill off the human population..." *Cradling her head she would run her fingers through her bangs.* "Now, you know we require payment... Correct?" *She'd hold out her hand expectedly* "For nothing is free in this world.." *A white gem with a swirling white mist was produced from her hair, and she would hand it over. Remix would smile ever so cunningly before tilting her head back and swallowing it whole. It never ceased to surprise her... The reaches that selfish damnation had gone to. Regardless of how innocent someone looked or seemed... They all had rotten integritys and it was a demons guilty pleasure to watch them day in and day out.* "This way..." *With a low sweeping bow, she would bid her to follow behind eye to the room of candles and per usual, she would stay at the front of the store.*
Judith
*Once able, she would lead her into the back room with the comfortable white futon, lavander atmosphere and candles. She would gesture for her to lay down before taking a seat in the chair in the corner. When all the patrons were in their spots, she would hold up her hand* "Sleep.." *She'd command, and Eiko would fall into a deep slumber.

It felt as though she were falling through a deep ocean when she entered her dream. Bubbles floated up around her until the setting washed into view. Eiko would see herself performing on a stage of sorts... There were many people in attendance. Dukes, lords, ladies, a king, princesses, and nobles alike. There were also commoners... Although seperated, they vastly outnumbered the blue blooded patrons. She watched as she finished her song, and leave the stage to a changing room... All the while passing by the evenings next performance act. Eiko remembered this day, as it was the last time she had seen her shell around her neck.

Her close companion came in to congratulate her, and offered her some water... It was laced with a heavy sleeping aid. When she was sure Eiko had passed out, she removed the shell from around her neck as she believed that to be the source of her success. Unfortunately for her friend, it did not grant someone a beautiful singing voice... All it did was allow a mermaid to sing above water and would be of no use to her. The good news is that should be enough to persuade her to give it back... If she still had it. Ai stood in the corner of the room in a white kimono, ever watchful. So it was a betrayel... Not a happy answer, but an answer none the less. Once Eiko was satisfied, she would coax her to awaken.*
Susan
*Her eyes followed after Eiko as she bowed, and then left more diatraught then she had come. She probably 
 thought her friend would never have stolen from her... How fickle were peoples hearts anyway? Regardless, it was around that time that Ai had to have her dinner. She'd reach into the shadow of the ground and pull up what looked to be a large flask.* "Aiii... Food. Come.." *She'd wave it at her before handing it over. 

At this point, she knew Ai relatively well and that came with the knowledge that she would not eat from the flask if there was no bendy straw. It was a human contraption she had introduced to her a while ago and she just fell in love with it, and now refused to eat any of her meals without it. With a sigh, she rolled her eyes and stared at her with narrow eyes.* "...You know that's a child thing, right? Child? A thing meant for **Kids**???? Ai you are hundreds of years-"

"You are a centuries old vamp-"
Judith
"**Literal** Child." *Happy sip noises*
Susan
*She'd give a deeeeep sigh through her nose before waving her off. Jesus lord. As for her, she'd have her some good ol'fashioned steak and potatoes with some apple cider. Nuthin better for the soul and right as she finished eating, there came a knock at the door. Wait... Not a knock... A..Peck? Blinking curiously, she'd rise to investigate before she heard a caw. She stopped and gave a chuckle* "What on ear- ACK!" *As she opened the door, a white raven fluttered in and perched itself atop Ai's head. Quickly closing the door, she crossed her arms and leaned againat the counter.* "You good there Ai? You uh... I think you have something on your head.."
Judith
*Happy sip noises.* "I hath been choosen. Tis a good birb.." *Well, she wasn't chosen for long, for after a moment the bird flew onto the ground and shifted it's shape into that of a woman.* "Ah... Oh my. Thank you for letting me in, it is quite wet out there.." *She would do her best to clean herself off befire removing an ash wand from her cleavage. With a quick wrist flick, the moisutre in her clothing and hair would vanish.* "Oh lovely! Much better... Now, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ellenora... A witch of the wastelands. I've traveled quite far, and am in need of your assistance.."
Susan
*Maybe it was the way she smiled, maybe it was her charm or maybe it was how she moved across the room to plop her assets onto Ai's head to rest. Something about her made her loathe her very... Very..**Very** Much.* "Where did you say you came from? The wastelands?...Word sure has spread far.." *The atmosphere seemed to have gotten awkwardly tense as she just stared at her.* "As always we require-" *Ellenora presented the payment from her cleavge as well, the white gem held in her palm accompanied by a womanly chuckle. 

That pissed her off. Everything about her pissed her off.* "For some reason... I don't think I want to eat this one.." *She muttered to herself as she tucked it away in her pocket.* "Why do you even need our assistance anyway? A witch of the waste for as long as you've lived must have an arsonal of spells and powerful magic... Why come all the way to Dimeria? Surely you can excercise dream magic..."
Judith
*She didn't say anything out loud, but her sips got progressively more and more violent. She couldn't explain it... Maybe it was her mature charm or her womanly appearance but she really...**Really** Hated her.* "Oh ho ho~ My, my... Why, wouldn't it behove me more to see a specialist who derived their magic specifically from dreams? Such a cute little vampire would be perfect for what ails me~" *Ellenora spoke with a coy smile. Why did it feel like she was talking down to her? Also... Her head was getting heavy... And she hated that too!* 

"I know that it is in poor taste to refuse service to a patron regardless of how they look... But heavens be damned if I don't consider making an exception..." *She muttered angrily under her breath. She could pop them, she could pop them with a needle right now! It was right there!* "...And that is why I need your help~" *Truth be told she wasn't listening. She just caught the tail end of that.* "Oh my... Is my appearance causing somewhat of an energetic rift?~" *In a poof of glitter purple smoke, she appeared much smaller. A tiny girl now stood before them with clothing way too big for her and for some reason that made her gloomier. She knew her true form... And this was just a slap in the face at this point.*
