She tiptoed through the towers, quiet as a mouse humming to herself as she danced around Jarko, slipping beneath his arms and out of his reach as she giggled. She thought about pulling his hair, funfunfun but Asher was scowling in the corner. Grumpy daddy was in a bad mood, he never let her play any fun games. He never let her girl Danica, he never let her have fun with the prisoners, he never let her do anything.

"BoooRing," Del sang quietly, giggling as Danica turned catching sight of her. Ducking down as Danica threw a glass paperweight at her head, Del grinned and slipped down the glass corridor hurrying along and out of sight. She was safe here, safe and trapped. The cage Danica had placed her in might not be small, the chains she had her in might not be made of metal but she was trapped here all the same. Until someone mortal could pull her out. Someone mortal like- "Ohoh hiiii!"

Del peered through the door, grinning at the man tied up and half naked. Pressing her face against a glass panel she blew a raspberry against the glass and waved at him. Virago moving behind her and blocking the door. Prisoner and guard, now that was funfunfun.

"You're not supposed to be here, go away." Del turned at the voice and scowled before grinning as Virago backed away from her. Giggling Del twisted the world for Virago making it seem like very bad things were happening. Watching as she wildly, madly clawed at her skin and fell backwards into a heap. Taking a bow, she sneaked through the room and looked at the man with a grin.

"Hello, they don't want me to play with you. They're being mean and boring plotting, snoresnoresnore." Delirium said bouncing into the room before sliding to a stop before him, her head tilted to one side as she watched him. "But you're not boring, you're much more fun and alive too. They don't bring alive people in here too often, they're scared. Big scaredy cats. Do all humans not wear shirts?"

Delirium turned her head, pointing to the line and his feet. He had stepped over it, he had crossed but he hadn't broken the line. It was barely visible, a thin line etched in black and gold unbroken and stretching across the whole room- the whole building. She could not leave with it connected. All it took was a human, living, to scratch a point out then boom water gates would flood and Del would be oh, so terrible.

"Foot!" Delirium yelled with impatience.

Hannibal glanced down to see that his foot was near some line that was probably not part of the building's original architecture. His powerslide and snow angel hadn't been quite as effective as he had hoped they would be. Straining his foot, he smudged the line with his toe, scuffing it until it was broken.

Her eyes closed at the touch of toe against the line before opening sharply with a snap and a loud Crack as she felt the world stretch before her. Her siblings greeting her as she felt the connection to the world, to time, to her powers. It was all there, she was home. Smiling wickedly, Del giggled reaching for his cheek and leaning up onto her tiptoes to whisper into his ear.

"Big Bada Boom," Delirium pulled back with a rather manic smile. "Run now Hannibal Fucking King."

The manic smile fell away as she turned to look at those who had imprisoned her. She could not kill but she could make them regret the moment they decided to capture her. "Let's play a game." Del sang, twisting the world as she captured the hand of one of the vampires.

The expression on Del's face was truly frightening. Far more than Danica or even Drake had been. That was the expression of madness seriously pissed off. Scrambling to his feet, Hannibal bolted out of the door. He met Abby a few steps out and grabbed her arm.

"RUN!" he shouted, half dragging her after him. "The whole place is gonna go to fucking hell in a batshit handbasket!"

They did not understand at first, they soon learned. Some tried to run, some tried to hide but she was everywhere and everywhen and they had hurt her, trapped her. She did not kill them, she did not need to. What she did was worse. And when she was done, she sat amongst the ruins of the building humming and giggling to herself as she stepped over what was left of them. Skipping as she hopped over the stones, Del paused before smiling and slipping out of reality.

Her realm was in chaos, it was chaos but now it was neglected. She had been trapped, the world had been without her and it had almost ended. To Delirium, eternity stretched as she reorganised her realm and took care of her mortals. Soothing, bringing them into her realm deeper and deeper until they were hers again and the world was better, a little madder but not too sane. Not too scary. It felt like eternity, it was only a few seconds.

Returning to the world, feeling her mortals content and happy and mad, she slipped inside the reality to where Hannibal was.

"Hiiii, is this your room? What happened to the car? I thought I could drive, I like driving." Delirium babbled twisting her fingers and creating little soap bubbles in various unnatural shapes.

Whatever had happened at the building where all the vampires were was some seriously freaky shit. It had been like shooting fish in a barrel by the time it was all done, the vampires being easy pray after whatever Delirium had done to them. Any doubts as to whether or not she had been the personification of insanity vanished after she razed the place.

Which Hannibal had found really, really hot.

When she appeared in his room though, it still freaked him out and he had nearly shot her. Or he had pulled his gun on her, he doubt he would have been able to shoot her before she had changed his Beef Eater into a fish or something like that.

"Son of a bitch that's freaky when you just appear out of nowhere."

"I did not appear of nowhere," Delirium replied in a sing song voice, bouncing on his bed. She had changed since he had last seen her; her hair, her clothes, everything that had felt washed out now shined brighter and stood out more. She looked more powerful, she felt it. She felt the world return to her. "I appeared out of everywhere there is a difference Hannibal Fucking King."

Delirium stopped bouncing, tilting her head as she looked at him with a grin. "Where you naughty? Did you send the cheaters to my sister?"

"Well nowhere is somewhere so if you appeared out of everywhere, one of the places you appeared out of was nowhere," he said. He probably wouldn't win a debate of screwed up logic with Delirium, but if he talked fast enough without thinking, he might hold his own for an exchange or two.

"And yeah, they're all ash now. Like shooting fish in a barrel after you were done with them."

"Oh, silly I am not done with them." Delirium said with a rather wicked little smile. Giggling, she bounced on the bed happily letting out a loud weeee before dropping backwards. Wriggling in the blankets, Del reached out her hand and indicated that it was Hannibal's turn now. "They are still in my realm, sissy is quite annoyed because they should be hers but I want them to suffer a little more before the long twisty journy and my sister's hands. They're dead, ash but still in here."

Delirium leaned up on her elbows before staring at him. "You are not bouncing."

There weren't a lot of things that scared Hannibal. Pain was just one way to let you know you were really pissing your enemies off and he had died once before so any life he had now was just a bonus. Death was death and the end. Dying and living in some sort of twisted, messed up world though? That was some scary shit.

"Right, sorry, bouncing," he said, standing up and bouncing on the bed. It actually hadn't been all that long ago he had last bounced on a bed, it was just been in a more horizontal position. This was pretty fun though.
