Theta looks over at Medi, trying to think of something before figuring out... he just doesn't have the answer on hand.
"darn it, I haven't gotten to that chapter yet about incomplete soul behavior."
Hypnos huffs in frustration. "Theta, get your head out of the fucking books for once, she needs some kinda help. I don't know what kind, but if she really is 'incomplete', complaining about the shit you haven't looked up yet isn't gonna solve it. Also, we still need to get the fountain turned back on. Maybe if she gets enough of a boost she'll be able to regrow what she's lost?"
Raphael asks the obvious question. "I saw the fountain was off on the way here. What the fuck happened?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out. It's been dry since 'super student' over here started doing overnighters at school." Hypnos glances at no one in particular, *Coughthetacough*.
Theta seems confused. "what do you mean overnight? i've only been there for the same periodic amount of hours as usual."
"You kids do know time is 10 kinds of fucked up around here? It probably desynchronized between here and the tower." Raphael makes his best guess, based upon previous experience. "Besides, there is no such thing as day and night here, just dark."
"Whatever it is, let's just get our respective errands done already." Hypnos begins walking into the doors of the city hall, before Raphael elbows him out of the way and enters first.
"That bitch... let's just get inside now." Hypnos resumes entering the building with Theta and probably Medi.

"Guys, maybe her other half is in The Dome?"
Sponge said, entering the building with the others.

It takes her a while to realize that everyone is heading inside, and follows after.

The group enters the city hall and it seems like the place is packed. Dozens of ghosts, from seemingly all over, are all desperately complaining at the front desk. Some of them seem a bit faint, though the angriest ones seem to be hanging on much better.
The poor soul behind the desk, a woman with way too many ear piercings wearing a form fitting business suit, seems to be at the end of her rope, stressed to the max. At last she finally snaps at the group.
"QUIET! I GET IT! YOUR ENERGY RECYCLING DEVICES ARE SHUT OFF. THEY ALL ARE. THE HIGHER UPS WONT LISTEN TO ANY OF OUR REQUESTS TO SWITCH THEM BACK ON EITHER. THERES LITERALLY NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT AT THIS POINT." she takes a deep breath out of old habit and sits back down. She really shouldn't be expending so much energy during a crisis like this.
"Now.. is there anyone here for any non-energy recycling service reasons?"
About half the crowd disperses, some of them quite near collapsing. It seems the tower wasn't the only place hit...
Raphael looks over at Sponge. "You wanna make your request over there? It looks like the rest bros are shit outta luck on their problem."
Hypnos and Theta look around at the still remaining ones in the room. They all look terribly tired, though it seems they are still quite determined. There has to be something big going on somewhere out there...

Medi cringes from the shouting, covering her head as if trying to protect herself.
"D-Don't hurt me..."
She didn't seem to notice what they were shouting about.

Sponge walks over to the desk.
"I'm looking for information on the ghost of Omega's daughter."

The lady at the front desk seems relieved."Omega who? We gotta lot of names on file and there's lots of repeats. First name, last name, any titles given, any aliases, we need this info to look this stuff up. So do you got an answer?"
Meanwhile, Hypnos tries to comfort Medi. She's been acting odd since that thing happened to her earlier, and it really seems she needs something.
"It's alright medi, she's only frustrated at her impossible job, you're just fine." Hypnos pats her on the back lightly.

*Soul quietly communicates with his brother AIs over their peer2peer mental swap space, because of this, Sponge takes a few minutes before responding.
"His first name is Mike, I believe. Mythological roles being the Witch of Time and the Witch of Null. His dominant alias seems to be Omega. His daughter's name may have been Micha, she apparently died of a disease."

FL6: OH GOD WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?!
FL7: ...
FL3: ...completely white. I swear I've seen this before, but I can't put my finger on it.
FL1: Looks pretty alien to me.
FL5: He tapping into supernatural powers or something?
FL4: ...spooky.
FL2: ...wasn't this in some sort of webcomic or something?
It seems that the silent member of the group has remembered what brought him here... And yet, the others haven't. What happened with him to allow for him to remember first?

"I....I...I'm sorry..."
Medi lowers her head, looking a little guilty.

The lady behind the desk begins typing and waits a moment.
"...Ahuh... there we go. Not many Null players out there so it was relatively easy to find."
"Michaela Maria Bull, deceased at age 7. Only child of Mike Bull, Witch of Null and Time. Female, tan skin, light blue eyes, brown hair. Doesn't seem to mention much else. There's a note that she liked to draw. That's all I can find here."
"That's it? What the fuck are we supposed to do with this information?" Raphael is pretty pissed about the limited amount of dirt to pick up.
"Hey, be grateful I even decided to give it out. I could have sent you all out the door if I wanted to." The lady in a clearly annoyed tone.
"only 7 years old. that's pretty young... it's a shame she had to go so early." Theta looks up wistfully.

"don't mention it." The tired woman gives a blank stare. What did she ever do in life to deserve this job...
"hey theta, where did you say you got the fountain from again?" Hypnos asks Theta.
"i ordered it online, why?"
"I mean where online. Maybe we could contact the manufacturer or some shit. I don't even know at this point, but we gotta figure this shit out before it gets worse. You saw all the others with the same exact problem, right?"
Theta thinks for a moment, and then finally remembers it.
"...that was it, it was from some shifty looking place called voidco. i remember their site had like, 40 different exotic alien language options i never heard of before and english was at the bottom of the list."
Raphael is currently using Theta's laptop to check the message board. He sighs heavily in frustration. "hey, the others are under fucking attack over there. Some shitstain is somehow doublekilling the other seths up there."
Theta and Hypnos gasp in unison. "What?!"
"You heard me."
"...wait, Theta, do you think we can call the busters in to take that bitch in?"
Theta closes his eyes and thinks for a moment. "...maybe. It's at least worth a shot. do you know the address of the place, raphael?"
He checks the location tag on the forum posts. "It says 'Timespace Castle, Dream dome'. I'm pretty sure the authorities will need to know it's within Alpha Seth's mindspace."
Theta pulls out a cellphone and steps right outside of the building to make a call.
"...hello, soul services? i've heard reports about some serious shit going down somewhere..... alpha seth [REDACTED]'s mindspace, timespace Castle.... you'll send someone up there? thank you."

"...I was supposed...to do something...What was...?"
Medi asks herself this question.
She is so lost and confused...

Hypnos sighs. She's definitely not in the right state to even try to visit That Guy. He just wishes he knew how to repair or heal her... especially with Alpha Seth not here right now. He remembers Alpha had the ability to heal like that, though obviously only while alive. He's probably too busy enjoying his life to care about the dead.
Raphael looks over at Theta as he walks back inside, putting his phone away. Distant cop sirens can be heard as four squad cars make their way to Seth's mindspace.
"Alright, so you called the cops, shouldn't we be checking that voidco shit out now?"
"...yeah. I remember their regional office is out of town though, somewhere across the river."
"Across the river? Isn't that, outside of underworld territory?"
"A little, but it's not too far. We can make it there by boat." Theta looks over at Hypnos.
"You did bring the boat, right?"
Hypnos looks back over at Theta.
"Of course I brought the fucking boat. How else do you think I got here from the tower?"
Theta lightly smiles and nods before turning to sponge and medi. "Are you two willing to join us on a trip to voidco's regional office down here?"
Hypnos looks over at Medi worryingly.
