<strong>Alfred "Al" Birche</strong><br/><strong>Location</strong>: School Hallway<br/><strong>Tag</strong>: The Mysterious Woman<br/><hr/><br/>There was an echo of joy--of Schadenfreude, really-- as he saw the terror of the one who had plagued him for so many, many years. The one thing he could neverr escape, the one thing that had been gnawing away at him every night for the past six years; it was standing before him, and now, it was the one who was learning what it was like to be afraid.  There is an extreme sort of catharsis in dominating that which had dominated him previously.<br/><br/>He knelt down on the ground. The goblin slinked away from him, grew smaller and smaller on the ground. Al continued to stare it down, every inch it took causing the boy to move two inches. He hovered over it, looming, pinning it down to the ground. The mask on his face created a visage that would inspire Lovecraftian madness in any sane and rational human. And before too many seconds had passed, the creature disappeared entirely. It was gone. As the woman said, it had no place outside like that.<br/><br/>Now, it was Al's turn to lock something away in the broom closet. A metaphorical broom closet, but still. However, his thoughts drift away, as does the mask, as something else suddenly dawns on his mind.<br/><br/>He would stand back up, and look at the woman. He could hear Jin fighting off in the distance, but had confidence in her ability to dominate whatever it was that had come after her. Just like he did, just like that other girl, whose name Al could not remember, did. He didn't want to go showboating or stealing anybodies thunder. And there was a nagging stream of questions flying around in his head.<br/><br/>His eyes went right up along the womans body, from her feet to her face; and once reaching there, he would try to look into her eyes. Not in a threatening manner; more in a curious manner. Mori, too, was watching her, front claws seeming to hold onto the flannel pocket that was the creatures current home. "Who are you?" He had about a dozen other questions for this stranger, but that seemed the best one to start with.
