Maggie blinked at Ronwe, startled by this sudden change of mood...just a minute ago, the demon had been as grumpy as her grandfather, but now he was...nice.
She decided she rather liked him this way, and so merely nodded.
((Brain.Is.Mush.))

Ronwe smirked, grabbed the puppy from Riki's arms, and set him on the ground. TUr barked, his tounge lolling from the side of his mouth. Yawning, Ronwe stretched out on a worn, blue couch. The apartment here was fairly clean- only there were a few books scattered about. Not alot of them though, and compared to Kiyoshi's house, this was a clean heaven.

Maggie leaned against the wall, her fringe of dark hair fallin in front of her eyes. "So...where are those clothes you spoke of, Senorita?" She asked.
Eoin was staitioned beside the Mexican woman, giving the evil eye to Tur. It would have been intimidating had anyone been able to see him.

Tur barked, sensing Eoin's presence, and was obviously frustrated he couldn't see him. He turned in circles rather comically, his bright blue husky eyes searching hopelessly. Riki laughed.
"Typical Tur." she said, and led Maggie to a small room. "In here." Kiyoshi sat next to Ronwe, blinking.
"What's with the good mood suddenly?" he asked, blinking.
"Oh, you'll find out." said Ronwe, smirking.

Something poked Ronwe's shoulder, most probably Eoin's invisible finger. The ghost's audible voice sounded greatly strained, but audible nontheless. "I really hope it is not a wicked thing you are thinking of, cuz then I'm afraid I will have to beat you with a soda bottle again."
Maggie followed Riki, her hands clasped behind her back.

"Not quite, Eoin." Ronwe said, smirking. Riki closed the door behind them, sealing the two in her room. She jumped on the bed and pointed to a drawer.
"All my clothes are in there, and the bathroom's over there." she pointed to a door, old and worn-looking. The room was midevil looking, her bed a four-post old oak with velvety red curtains surrounding it, and the cover was an equally velvety sheet. The drawr was attatched to an ancient looking dark oak wardrobe, taller than Riki by about 2 feet. The wallpaper of the room wasold and peeling, much like in a haunted house. The windows were small, almoast non-existant, covered up by boards. Riki's room had the alltogether feel of a haunted castle, with something about to jump out of the wardrobe and eat you. On Riki's face was a happy smile though- she absolutley adored her room. Outside the bedroom, Ronwe smirked as Kiyoshi looked at him curiously.

Maggie smiled sadly. "You know, my sister Nina would think your place is a palace..." She sighed and shook her head. She and the rest of her family that were not still trapped in Mexico all lived in the same medium-sized house...all 17 of them. Things were tight, but no one left because they did not like being alone.
Maggie was silent as she walked over to the wardrobe an peered inside.
...
Eoin grumbled. "For you sake, it had better not be..."

Inside the wardrobe was a large mirror, casting your reflection of your inner self. When Riki looked, she saw all the evil in her warped into a twisted demon. Her eyes went wide.
"Umm.... I meant.. The.. drawr under there..." she stuttered, pointing underneath the two doors.
"Try not to look in the mirror." she mumbled, the horrid images of her inner self flashing in her mind.
Ronwe smiled.
"Don't worry Eoin... All'l reveal isteslf soon." he said. Kana titled his head, sniffing for Eoin, but going right past where the spirit's voice as coming from/

But Maggie ad already looked. She stood, one hand resting on each door of the wardrobe. Her face was blank, but her chocolate eyes were wide and looked to be seconds from letting tears spew from them.
What she say was a young woman, finely dressed in silks in brocades--Maggie herself. But, strangely enough, it was not Maggie. Maggie didn't have those eyes--eyes that searched you, pulled out you soul, and shredded it to peices. And she was quite sure that she would never have so much blood on her hands...red blood, black blood, even the clear blood of ghosts...the image was terrifying, yet Maggie could not look away.

Riki, biting her lip, ran over and pushed Maggie gently from the wardrobe. Closing the doors, she let out a soft sigh.
"The mirror..." she whispered, her voice soft and sounding like she was going to pass out, or cry, "Was a heirloom from a few of my previous lives.. It was cursed, so no matter where I go... What happens to it.. It rematerializes wehrever I go.." she said, looking glumly at the floor. She reached for the drawer beneath it, and pulled out a blue t-shirt that was a bit too big for herself, and a pair of jeans. "Here." she said, offering the clothes to Maggie.

Maggie didn't speak, just took the offered clothes with unusually clumsy fingers and trotted off to the bathroom to change, her face blank.
...
Back on the couch, Eoin said something Maggie probably would have killed him for.
"She likes you, you know. Maggie." He grunted.

"Really?" asked Ronwe, his happy mood turning into curiosity.
----
Riki merley stood there, turning to jump onto the bed. When she got on it, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Damned mirror." she growled, cursing herself for being immortal.

There was a snort. "Yup. I'm surprised you didn't see it yourself, actually." Eoin grumbled.
...
Maggie rinsed her arms, neck, and face clear of blood with the water from the faucet. She blinked beats of tap water from her eyes and looked at her reflection in the normal bathroom mirror for a few minutes, silently pondering.
Then she undid her messy braid and shook out her black hair. It fell, a curtain of solid night, across her shoulders as she put the blue t-shirt on and slipped on the jeans. They were quite comfortable, if not her favorite colors.

"Ah, well, I'm not the lovebird. Haven't been for about 5000 years." he shrugged. Kiyoshi laughed. Kana, stared at where Ronwe was talking to Eoin, and with his puppy senses trying to follow where his voice was projected.

Eoin gave a short, strained laugh. "Hah! Well, I'm not nearly as old as you, but that does not mean I can't see a very special girl when I see her. Maggie is one such girl."
...
Maggie, oblivious to the conversation going on between the men, stepped gracefully from the bathroom and said. "Well, then...may we start our journey to my home now, or would you like to wash up too?" She asked, her voice smooth as ever.
