Atlas turned with the look of someone about to have a heart attack, he jumped a bit and tried to hide the both of them under the blanket they had on the bed. It was highly doubtful he had managed to keep Erin from seeing anything.

Atalai tugged the blanket over her a bit more, horrified at Erin's complete lack of respect for privacy. "Hey, you take after your father, kid!" Erin said cheerfully. "Well done!"

"God damn ,Erin get out!", Atlas yelled picking up some random object near the bed and tossing it at Erin.

Erin ducked it. "Oh, I wish I had hammerspace now. I'm sure Gabby would love to see these pictures! Actually, did you use protection? Because you're gonna need it soon enough. =D"

Atlas Scowled, " Erin Really get out!". he then yelled. Atlas tried to find something else to hit her with.

Erin waggled her fingers at him then ran out of the room, laughing. By now even Atalai was blushing profusely.
"Oh my."

Atlas hopped out of the bed the moment Erin was gone. Atlas then made a mad dash to the door and locked it, only to then take a nearby dresser and slide it in front of the door too," Okay this might stop her for a little while but chances are we should run if we really don't wanna get tossed out of a window or something", He then said with a frantic tone.

Atalai scrambled out of bed, tugging on her clothes and shoes, cursing the fact she was wearing easily breakable stilettos. "Would she really do that?"

Atlas went over and got his pants on rather quickly. The jet black spot over his heart was growing steadily outward in a series of cracks across his body. a few purple crags began to show as well. " Yeah, well I've seen it happen to Aunt Dee more then once, so yes i imagine she would throw the two of us out through the window with little issue, but i'd rather not wait and see ya'know?

Atalai started getting dressed faster then went over to the window. She ran her hands along the edges. The wood rotted away in a thin line all around. She lifted it off, staggering, and put it aside.
"It's possibly ironic that we have to go through the window to escape being flung through it, but let's not dwell on that."

Atlas's body had now become riddled with the black lines, He quickly pulled on a shirt and walked over To Atalai to help her out of the window," Alright you first dear", he then said looking back at the door with mild distrust.

Quite frankly the door and dresser had less of a chance against Gabrielle then a chocolate sword at a blacksmith, so he had a right to be distrustful of it.
Atalai hopped out of the window, careful as possible so Atlas couldn't see up her skirt. A girl must have some standards.

Atlas climbed through the window rather quickly, " Okay where to now?", He asked looking around for somewhere to either hide or run. The black lines and violet crags in his skin began to climb up onto Atlas's face.

"I suggest we go somewhere crowded. Your mother would hardly destroy a public building. Rich or not she would still have the poor people's 'oh now how will I pay for all this' instinct so we would be safe." Atalai said, holding his hand. She kissed his cheek. "Atlas, calm down."

Atlas sighed," Sorry hun", He said as they began to walk off the grounds. The crags on his skin where still growing just at a much slower rate then before.

Atalai walked briskly, hoping to get him into a secluded area before he exploded and destroyed the house or killed again. She kept murmuring soft words to him and squeezing his hand, trying to keep the rate of void down as much as possible.

About halfway through he grounds Atlas collapsed, his skin tuning jet black and the dark purple lines growing wider. within moment s the void beast stood where he once was, its red eyes staring at Atalai as the world around them began to decay heavily.

Atalai closed her eyes and focused, keeping the worst of the decay within a relatively small area as much as possible. She opened her eyes again, "I suppose you're the void then, or some aspect thereof."

The beast closed the distance between it and Atalai, the heavy decay now enveloping the area she stood in," yes, I am the void", it boomed in a voice that sounded as though it were a thousand demons speaking in unison.

"Pleasure to meet you," she said officially, stepping forward holding out her hand for it to shake. "I am Atalai Scelestus. You're currently possessing my boyfriend."

The beast grasper her hand inside its own clawed hand, it was roughly 4 times the size of her hand. The beast laughed a little," You seem rather calm , given the circumstances", It said the grass around them had already greyed and turned to sand.

"I'm not terribly frightened by decay. It's a commonplace occurrence for me. I am mildly worried about his mother killing me, but that is neither here nor there." Atalai said, shifting her weight a little so she wouldn't slip in the sand.

The void laughed," Well i wonder how you would fair against something more powerful", It then mused to itself, a moment later the world around them began to heave, it was as thought gravity had increased in a ball shape around them. The sand churned beneath their feet, some of the outlying areas began to blacken.

Atalai took off her shoes so she'd have a better chance of staying upright. She held onto the withered remain of an old tree, starting to turn red. The void decay wasn't wounding her or even hurting but it was having a different, more enjoyable effect on her. A minute or so later she had to sit down.

The beast watched her with mild interest, He thought it was funny that she wasn't dying or even hurting But enjoying the decay he was outputting. After a minute or two the void beast's flesh had begun to waiver in its solidarity. A moment later Atlas was returned to the world, He managed to stumble over to Atalai before collapsing.

Atalai opened one eye. "Hi, sweetheart," she said breathlessly. "Listen, I think we need to go to my hotel room. Now."

Atlas Was breathing heavily, he even looked like he might pass out sometime soon purely from sickness," I,.. don't think i'm walking anywhere right now", he then said in a very strained voice as he looked up at the sky.

Atalai looked a little disappointed. "I don't suppose your hands are still functional, are they? I have a pressing need. No?" She pulled him over to a comfortable position, though not on her lap.. "Go to sleep, sweetheart."

Atlas managed to get his head to rest on Atalai's thigh. It took only moments for him to pass into a peaceful sleep.

Atalai made sure that he was definitely asleep then began to... Amuse herself.
A few minutes later Gabrielle found them. "I.... I'm going inside. This is too awkward, even for me."
