"I'll leave you two to talk." Alex chuckled heading off with his fellow scientist to get Sage's blood tested. Max felt sick seeing the blood spatter through the vent onto the floor "Sage...?" She said in a half whine as she tried to break herself free seeing a little bit of blood come from her wrists from trying to break out of the metal cuffs as she groaned "We need help... but... this place is warded... I can feel it... and so can the boys..." She whined as they shifted, the first bit of movement that was more then a flutter coming from their sons.

Sage continued his pacing and absentminded snarling until he heard Max's voice and something about it brought him back to reality for a moment. He stilled, quivering, as he listened to his wife's voice, trying to stay with her, to stay himself, but it was so hard. So, so hard. He was already panting, though his frenzied state would do that to him anyway, he supposed. He drifted closer to the vent, straining to crouch where he could see her. But he couldn't get low enough to see her face....he could only see her up to her shoulders, and that broke him. He let out a sort of yowl again, though this one was definitely....lonelier. sadder. Telling her he could do nothing but let the wild take him over as he tried to fight. He hoped she wouldn't mind ....hoped she wouldn't see him in his full demon state like this, killing and maiming and....crazed. Going crazy in a tiny cage that was now full of bodies and parts of bodies he'd already taken from the scientists. They did need help....whatever happened here would be hard to reverse. Hopefully, Lance could get Roxie. Maybe they could help. Though, he didn't want them to catch Roxie, or anyone else either.

"Sage..." She said gently "Just listen to me okay? We'll get out of this... somehow..." She said gently "Just don't lose it... please..." She said gently seeming to sense something was off with her husband "M-maybe my dad will help somehow..." She said gently "We'll get out of here and we will blow this place to hell..." she assured him "I can't do this without you..." She said as she tried to soothe the twins who were squirming inside her.

Sage sort of just curled up on the floor where he could press against the wall, getting as close to Max as he could. He was trying to imagine her....imagine her face....but it was so hard. Why did it have to be like this? Why couldn't the holy water have hurt his nose or something instead on his eyes? Now he couldn't see, but he could hear and smell her fear and the baby's discomfort. Being this close and not being able to be with her, to see her...it may be worse than not knowing if she'd followed and gotten caught or not. But even so, he curled up under the vent, a light whine rising from his throat as he tried to keep her voice in his head. But he could only do that for so long before his brain took over and he rose to slink back into his filthy corner and crouch there, back to his snarling and all the rest. The time he could stay himself had been shorter than before....of Lance was coming, he'd have to hurry. Because he was loosing more of himself every minute in this place. The next week or so was similar...sage wasn't quite sure how long it had been, but he could hear a clock ticking somewhere, and he could hear the scientists talking and mention dates. Other than that, the days blended together. No food, no water...he'd taken to munching on some of the bodies that had quickly built up in his cage. Part of it made his stomach roll, and part of him didn't care at all. Even so, hed lost a lot of weight, along with more of his mind. The cage was filthy....he was filthy...crawling on the ground elbow deep in...stuff. he could tell the holy water had completely ruined at least one side of his face...there was a burnt hole in his cheek, where the flesh had been burned away, and only some muscle and tendons were there in spots, bright white bone showing on his jaw and skull. He'd grown used to it though....the other injuries too. It all hurt like hell, of course, but he continued his relentless pacing and snarling. It was all he could do.

Lance was trying to do what he could but he couldn't find them on his own... he knew that... Roxie however seemed to sense his distress so she had come and now she and Lance were working together to try and find them which wasn't difficult once they could be tracked... the only problem was Roxie couldn't get in... all the warding was keeping her out... so Lance went to Travis and did his best to explain... Of course Travis and Hailey were struggling to believe that their friends and their children were demons... But ultimately Travis just wanted to help his friend... but he definitely had questions he wanted answers to. Maxine remained strapped down for most of the time... she couldn't even get her animals to work in this place... They often drew blood from her and checked on the boys... muttering about sending her into labor but it was much to early for that. (You can continue for Lance and Travis if you want :))

Lol alrighty. I can take Lance over for a post or two until they get to the place and then you can snatch him again if u want)

Lance did his best to explain what he could to Travis and Hailey, though he only understood so much himself. He knew enough to inform them of what was going on in terms of they were demons and had been taken captive, but since they hadn't been inside the building or close enough to know what was in there, he had no information regarding what was happening to his daughter or son in law. Travis and Hailey wanted to help, though, and that was all he could ask of them. They were trying to form a plan of action....a way to get in and rescue the two demons. Meanwhile, sage continued his relentless pacing and snarling, really only wearing himself thinner every moment that passed. He would have collapsed a long time ago, if not for the terrible madness that had captured his mind while in a place like this. He didn't even recognize Max's voice when it came through the cracks, and he hadn't even heard it in a while, so maybe she'd given up trying to talk to him. The scientists were doing everything from far away as possible, using long sticks and needles and whatever else. The pile of bodies was enough for them to know they shouldn't get any closer. It was apparent he could still kill....and they were smart enough to get their tests done from a distance too far for him to reach, which only drove him madder

Perfect :3 Sorry it's hard to play 3 characters kinda on my own when all the diologue is kinda between them XDD then you wouldn't have much to say either honestly...) Max had a gag in her mouth now after biting one of the men when they came to give her some kind of medicine or supplement or something...whatever it was it certainly felt like her boys were growing quite a bit... not quicker then she could handle... but enough to notice a differece... their kicks were stronger and it seemed quite crowded in there... not being able to soothe then didn't help anything either... nevermind that after she'd bitten one of them she was hardly let up aside from going to the bathroom... they fed her nasty food but her hunger overcame the taste...especially since they didn't give her souls to eat.

Travis sighed in the midst of still reeling from finding out his best friend was a demon the three of then were looking over an approximate map of the building it was the best Roxie could do to map it out without being able to really see the inside... they didn't exactly know where they were in the building either... Roxie wound up calling in a favor from one of her crossroads deals she did when she was a lower level demon she'd let the girl live out her natural lifespan if she got them information on the building... and she did just that... of course only after Roxie made a potion to manipulate their minds into thinking the girl had been hired long ago so the girl could walk freely through the building when she reported back they were able to start mapping out the building a little more... it had 3 levels... level 1 (basement) level 2 (main floor where Max and Ben are located.) And level 3 where their failed hybrid experiments were born and unfortunately where they spent only the briefest moments in life it seemed... unlike the main floor however it was unkempt... the main floor was much like a doctors office... sterile... sanitized... only difference was how high tech it was. The other two floors were absolutely disgusting. She found Max and Sage in rooms beside eachother... and had even been in to see Max to give her something to eat before she had to get back to "Work" but she got them the info they needed... "So... what now?" Travis asked looking to Lance "The first plan should honestly be to get the warding down... I've got Sarah working on it but it's hard they hid it so damn well..." Roxie muttered. "But what if she can't get it all?" Travis pointed out "No... Lance snd I gotta do something..." he pointed out. Roxie looked at him "Then what do you propose...? You're humans if you go in half assed like cowboys you're gonna get into trouble and likely die..." She pointed out "Then make us more of that potion?" He suggested "I cant... I'm out of ingredients..." She admitted though she hater herself for it.

(Haha yeah...sage is sort of just bonkers now, not much else to say about that LOL. And yeah, three characters at once when they're all yours talking is hard, I get it xD)

Sage had continued the way he was. There had been a new scent in the area for a while....a female it seemed like...but then she was gone and he supposed he could have cared less. Nothing much mattered at this point, not really.

Lance frowned as he listened to Roxie talk, and peered over at the building blueprint looking things before sighing. "Do you know of other options that might help us? Like invisibility when we want it? Or the ability to pass through walls to escape? We'll have to get through locked doors anyway, if Max and sage are locked up, which is a high possibility," he pointed out. He really had no idea what powers Roxie had, so he wasn't sure what limits she had either. "or spells? Temporary ones?" He was getting restless....now that he knew where his daughter and son in law were, it had only made him for worried, and more impatient to get to them. From what he'd heard, they weren't being treated well, and their environment definitely wasn't the best. He wanted them out ...which meant even if Roxie couldn't get the warding down, they had to do something.

Yeah)

Roxie thought for a moment "I might actually have something..." She admitted "It won't work for long but hopefully it'll be long enough to get them out... but you gotta get Max out first..." She said explaining about the collar "If he's as mad as my informant says he is Max might he the only one who can regain control and get his sanity back..." She pointed out.

Lance looked quite hopeful when she said she may have something. "Whatever you've got will work," he said firmly, hoping that was true. He frowned and nodded at her directions. "Max will come first then," he confirmed. "Why would he go...mad...as you said," he asked after a moment. "He's always been good at controlling his emotions," he pointed out. "And max is right next to him..." He was confused, and worried, and wanted his family back.
