Well, the presense of light magic is still a sensitive subject with Radar, who felt the little flash as he was walking away. Knowing instinctively that it wasn't Tall or Joseph within the apartment, he turned, glanced to both sides to ensure himself that no one was around to watch, and, being the protectively little Darkling he is, shifts into his housecat-sized-panther form.
He shifts through the dark to just above one of the windows and drops down onto the open windowsil, probably startlingly. He glances distatefully at the glow between Lin's hands, then his red-orange eyes fix upon Ash.

Lin immediately stops as she notes the appearance of the black cat with strange eyes. Her hands fold together, pulling the distracted Ash out of her amazed-induced trance-like state. Ash turns around to look at where Lin's eyes led to, noting the black cat. She sees no threat in it, but rather walks over to the window. "Hey fella, where did you come from?" Before she can reach for it, Lin grabs Ash's arm, tugging her away.
"Hey! What's that for?"
"Don't you know black cats are bad luck?" she hisses softly. Ash promptly rolls her eyes. Trying to not sound too superstitious, Lin continues. "Whatever, it's a stray. It could have rabies." Lin immediately would try to close the window and drapes to shut it out in any case. "I just realized it's a pretty bad idea to this in front of a window, though.."
Ash, remembers the strange light show, but now that Lin isn't doing it, the logical part of her mind insists that it must just be a cheap trick. She wouldn't be so gullible.
Falling back on her bed, Ash just laughs. "What are you so afraid of, the Salem Witch Hunters?" Lin looks over her shoulder and glares.

From the other side of the window, a faint, almost pitiful meow can be heard, followed by a faint scratching on the window.

"Come on, follow me," Lin says, eagerly taking Ash's hand, leading her down to the windowless basement.

((Radar can be such a posessive bastard.... If he wasn't s gosh-dern cute, doncha know!))
Radar huffs with discontent as he slips back into the Dark Realm and follows them to the basement. This unknowing girl tampering with light magic... around his Ash, nonetheless... could be dangerous. very, very dangerous, especially with the word "Sanctuary" floating in the air. So he thinly justified following them into the basement, watching warily from the shadows.

((Awww...how cute?))
As Ash gets drug down, she looks to Lin warily. "So...why are we going down here?"
"To avoid Salem Witch Hunters?"
"Ha ha, very funny."
The end of the stairs yields a dark, narrow, unfinished basement that smells slightly of must and rot. Ash yields inhaling for a second or two. "Seriously, why did we have to come here? You know how much I hate this basement and how it smells!"
Lin slowly turns around to face Ash. The latter slowly drops her hand from her nose, feeling..pretty weirded out. And with good reason, since Ash had never seen Lin act so peculiarly. In the darkness, Ash forces out a smile, trying to make light of whatever it was that Lin was going to do. "So...umm...did you invite Joseph to join your little cult?"
Lin laugh lightly. "Well, I might have, but I realized I hardly knew the guy! Right now, I need someone who I could really trust...and that's you, Ash."
"..I'm...honored....I think." Lin merely chuckles in response to Ash's faltering tone.
"Come Ash, I have so much to tell you."

Unlike Ash, Radar particularly likes this basement, Practically the entire room is shadowed in darkness, giving him any number of choices of where to watch from. Returning to his human shape, he leans against a wall and allows the edges of his form to blend into the shadows. Not completely invisible, for, if one of the girls knew what to look for, the could probably pinpoint his eyes, even though they had reverted to black. But Radar isn't particularly worried; plus, the fact that if anything did happen, he could react much fast in this position than waiting in the Dark Realm.

Ash grabs a random, misplaced dining room set chair she picked up from a garage sale, then promptly never used. "Ok, go ahead. How did you find your creepy cult, and what's with the magic?"
Lin smiles, shrugging innocently. Ash glares. "Spit it out! You know you want to tell me, or else you wouldn't have dragged me down here!"
"Truthfully, it was pretty odd...about a week ago, a group of three people approached me from no where, and simply said 'You're chosen.' And strangely...their presence was so light...so reassuring, I found myself following."

Radar mimes gagging, then accidentally makes the actual noise. Luckily enough, to anyone who isn't listening for human sounds, it sounds just like a faint creak.

Surprisingly, both Lin and Ash turn to his direction, since both are fairly paranoid. Ash slowly begins, "It was...probably nothing. Just a creaky basement..." She turns back to Lin, who is now silent.

Radar rolls his eyes, but silently chastizes himself as he waits for them to speak again.

Lin, now facing Ash again, gets a serious look on her face. "I want to take you."
"Huh? Wha--?"
"I want to take. I want to take you tonight."
Ash chuckles a little. "Wow, forward, Lin. And here I was under the impression you're heterosexual.."
"Knock it off! You know what I mean.
Ash sighs tiredly. "I was afraid you'd say that."

Radar's eyes widen, flashing momentarily in their usual glowing black at the implication of taking Ash somewhere where light magic would be used in a possibly threatening manner.

"Umm, Lin, I'm not sure I'm ready or anything to go..."
"Don't worry! They like me, so they should like you! Come on!" she once again tugs her up the stairs and through the door. And for Ash...well...it was difficult to fight. Especially since now she too was curious.

As soon as the door shuts behind them, Radar swears and steps back into the Dark Realm to follow them.
