Room 406, morning to early afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

After finally finding handwavily talking to Chris late yesterday, Isabel had finally gone back to her room.

Sleep wasn't an option for a lot of reasons.

Instead she grabbed her laptop and started to google.

It was amazing what you could find in some of the more obscure corners of the internet. Hours later she had pages of notes and print-outs. Of course since Isabel had pretty much no experience with magic, most of it was so much gibberish.

It was time to call in people who had a clue.

[ooc: Door closed, post open. Up early for SP. AFK till about noon.]

Had it been anyone but Isabel who had called, Savannah might have still been in hiding -- scared to leave her room. But this was Isabel and if she knew what was going on, there was no way Savannah couldn't help.

Besides, after what Wyatt had done to her, she needed to see for herself that her friend was all right.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked softly on the door.

Prue headed upstairs to Isabel's room as soon as she got her message. Hopefully Isabel had better luck researching than she had.

She knocked on the door.

Even though she doubted Wyatt would actually be nice enough to knock, Isabel still wasn't about to open the door to anyone. "Who is it?" she asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Who is it?" Isabel called through the door.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah didn't blame her.

"Savannah."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Are you okay?" Isabel asked as she opened the door and stepped aside. "I heard radio."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah didn't linger and came inside immediately.

"I got my ass handed to me by the guy I have thought of as my big brother and my Whitelighter either doesn't know me or suddenly hates me." She sighed. "I have no idea what alright is, but I do know that the Wyatt I thought I know would never have referred to yo as his concubine."

She took a deep breath. "Did he hurt you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay," she said. At least physically. She just wouldn't sleep well for a while.

Isabel took a seat on her bed and pushed some of the papers to the side so there was a place for Savannah to sit. "It's not Wyatt. Or at least it's not our Wyatt. Did Chris ever tell you about that weekend in January? When everyone thought they were someone else?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She ached, so sitting down was a god thing.

"The same weekend where my boyfriend woke up as someone different and charged me for sex? No, neither Chris nor Wyatt talked to me much about it."

She bit her lip and looked at her friend. "What has happened to them? I'm thinking it's not gremlins. Gremlins don't cause people to think using you to torture someone is fun."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"It's Prue."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Chris was still Chris. Just another, older version," she explained. "Who was trying to stop an evil version of Wyatt. I think that's who were dealing with now. And I think I might know how it happened."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Alternate Universes gave her a headache.

"How?" She looked at Isabel. "Can we fix this and make the bastard pay who did this to them?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

A knock at the door sounded before Isabel could start to explain.

"Hold that thought," Isabel said as she went to answer the door.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Great," she said as she opened the door. "Savannah's here. She had a run in with Wyatt last night."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue gave Savannah a concerned look. "Are you alright?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah liked Prue and knew that none of this could be easy on her, either.

"I will be," she promised.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, after various asses are kicked," Isabel muttered.

"I was just telling Savannah, I think I know why this happened." And the why still made her boggle. "Would you believe me if I told you that Wyatt's teddy bear is evil?"

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"After all I've seen? Yes," Prue said, reaching up to rub her forehead. She didn't even want to think about why Wyatt had a teddy bear in the first place.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah groaned. "Of course. We're in Fandom, where even the teddy bears go evil."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel glanced at her own alien bear, sitting on the foot of her bed. "I have to admit, it was a new one on me. But after Prue got me out of the basement, I ran into Anders. That's when I found out it wasn't just random Fandom weirdness. So I asked Bridge to check out Wyatt's room." And were they lucky he wasn't around, she realized.

"He said some demon with glowing eyes did something to the bear. Maybe a curse or something?" she asked, knowing that Savannah and Prue would be more familiar magical stuff then she was.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue nodded. "Demons can curse objects and that can affect the person who the object belongs to."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Especially if it's something that could have an emotional attachment of some kind."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It was his old teddy bear," Isabel nodded. "His Piper had taken it when she left. She just sent it back to him the other day."

"So now what do we do? I'd torch it but it threw up some sort of shield when Bridge went to touch. So I don't think it's going to be that simple."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"There's got to be a magical way to get through the shield," Prue said. If a demon was the one who cursed it then it probably wouldn't be invulnerable to magic. Few things were.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She was quiet for a long moment and then looked at Prue.

"What about a sustained magical attack on the shield? I've had it work on other opponents before. If someone with enough power... or a tandem attack happens on magical shields, it's been shown to um... take them down..."
