"My little babies grew up without me and they hate me. I can't fix this on my own!" Hinata relayed, reading the ghost's lips with nary a stutter or blush. "What should I do, Tai?"
The little noble child had come quite a ways in their time together, though the recent excitement was probably partially responsible. Still it was a good sign and Louise would take what sense of accomplishment she could from the small success in guiding the girl. She could only hope that her own few and mediocre achievements made her teacher feel similar... or at least enough not to give up on her.
"I don't hate her." Ruby protested, dragging her back to the unpleasant present.
"Oh gods, she called dad?!" Yang shrieked, ignoring her little sister in favor of reaching into her pocket. When she didn't find what she was looking for, she dove for Ruby's nightstand and began rummaging.
Having just about used up all of her patience for the day and left with nowhere near enough to deal with their nonsense, Louise dropped intangibly through the floor. Smacking the scroll from Summer's see-through hand, she stomped down on it to end the mystery call. The apparition jumped in surprise and tried to complain, but went silent as she stared with crossed eyes at the dainty finger extended toward her nose.
"Now that I have your attention, I've managed to defend your honor... though I'm not sure I should have bothered if this is what you do at the first sign of resistance. As the matron of your line, it is absolutely deplorable that you would flee in such a manner." The pinkette chided, silently glad that the woman was short enough that she didn't need to Levitate to achieve the pose. "I may not know how your people's classes are divided, but surely even the lowest of the low are taught better than that sort of behavior."
Summer looked on in obvious bewilderment and Louise pinched her nose in irritation as she muttered, "Why is it that no matter where I travel, everyone around me is completely lacking in even the most basic of etiquette? Whatever, just go see to your daughters before they change their minds."
"Um... Okay then... Thank you?" The ghost, completely lacking in surety as she jumped straight into the room above.
---------------------------------
Eyes rolled independent of one another to look at the restrained male and the caged Other.
Befitting one of the Enemy's favored tribe, the male had an energy akin to the Enemy's, but lacking in any innate caustic properties to protect him from the scaled Hands. Unusual for his tribe, but the Mind would take advantage of the weakness that seemed prevalent in this region. While the male was stronger than he should be based on his size, the Enemy's Chosen was stronger by far. Many score of brethren Bodies had been slain without effort on the Chosen's part, but these ones were easy enough for this Body to handle on it's own with a bit of guile and the blessings of
God.
Draining the last dregs of the male's life-force from his vessel, the corpse was thrown onto the pile of those that came before, awaiting to nourish the Body.
The Other snapped like the beast it resembled, but the Mind was not fooled. Like the various tribes allied with the Body's own, the Other held an energy and intelligence beyond any mere beast. It was unfortunate that the Mind was not suited to grasping the strange thoughts of those outside the tribes or devising a means of communication with others beyond the Body's morphotype. Knowing these limitations were put in place by
God to prevent corruption by the Enemy did nothing to solve the problem that without a connection to
God, it was unable to know whether the Body's next action would have detrimental effects to what could have been another allied tribe.
The Other crumbled and turned to smoke as the dark energy was pulled from it's husk, it's mind escaping with the blackened wind. Unfortunate, but the Mind could do nothing to undo what was done and now the Body would simply need to live on to see what outcome came from such a familiar creature. After all, the same happened among the tribes loyal to
God, so it wasn't as if the Mind didn't expect that as a possible outcome. If the Mind and Body could renew their connection to
God, then whatever being guided the Other could be brought to heel or otherwise allied with. Or it could drown in a sea of
God's power.
More energy would be needed, though the Mind could feel that it was nearing enough to summon one of the Magic tribe. From there it would be a simple matter to aid that one in summoning a member of the Elder Tribe and then taking the time to reconnect with
God.
Eyes swiveled to take in the next pair of sacrifices.

Left behind in some third years' room, Louise didn't particularly feel like following immediately after. With the family reconciling, hopefully, it would be awkward to sit in there with them. She didn't want to be reminded of what she would never have any more than necessary.

[] Go to Yang's room, it's only fair since she's in yours. Weiss is an easier person to be around than the Rose family and their bastard daughter anyway.
