[center][b] The Imagineer Aeternus || Nexus Sleepy Leaf Bridge[/b][/center] [center] Just as she started up a ruckus, people seemed to be drawn to it like moths to light. A young boy - girl? - whatever, a mage ran to her side within the first few moments of her [b]Insomnia[/b] ability kicking in, with something of a trickster following in soon afterwards. Player info would have to wait later to be grabbed -- she had more important matters to attend to as of now. Three players dropped to the ground instantly, out cold and in a deep slumber as from her hand, the ornate knife that she cherished so was displayed with the sharp end point out. A circle drawn before her displayed several ancient runes -- ones created by her at that - as each feather around her converged into a white light that amalgamated together to create a clowing ring. A quick flash of the circle would send these white lights out to the remainin five players that had not chosen to surrender to sleep as they should have, resulting in their bodies suffering the consequence. A damaging spell that would begin over time for only those that had not fallen out. Her? Stooping to their level? Surely not. [i]"I've no intent to kill. I'm incapacitating them with what I'm capable of doing, so that they can be taken in without a potential murder taking place. So get to it, if you can. I won't have any deaths, and I sure as hell am getting these idiots under lock and key. Oi, kid. Those ones that fell are asleep. Try not to whack them." [/i] Taking control of the situation? At least attempting to. If things were gonna be going like this, the White Knight was gonna be aggroing onto the familiar of the kid, which only left...four others to deal with. Alright, simple enough. She might as well keep her little fiesta of initiation going, which would cause her to step forward, the single movement coming with a further drain on her Sanity in order to form black, transparent butterflies around her body. A single point with her blade to the fourth player in the group, combined with the intimidation they all seemed to be feeling, and landing her [b]Black Thought[/b] was the easiest task in the world as those butterflies crawled down her neck as they sank into her flesh and the energy of their traversing ran through her arm to the point that it glowed through her jacket until reaching the tip of the knife and promptly shooting itself out as a laser-like projectile. It worked like a charm, going straight through the fourth player -- a mere Rogue, rendering him damaged by the ability, though the main effect was what came after: in mere moments, the player's eyes widened, hysteria overtook his features, and he was soon running around and screaming as he tried to figure out where to go. Ah, the [i]Terrify[/i] status ailment, rendering him little more than a damned chicken with its head cut off for lack of a better hypothetical comparison. That made it four down, as he soon ran right into the bridge's sidewalls and promptly knocked himself over. Ah, this was becoming a little too easy now...Well, it was better than having to do this the way she'd planned. Less screaming was involved, and wasn't that a joy? Dusting off her jacket, she turned her gaze to the magician and finally began to go over his player data as she stepped forward to address those that remained. ...Ah. Jeez, this was one pretty squishy team. But hell, what did she care? Work was getting done. [/i]"Stand down and come peacefully, you pigs in virtual veils! Four of you are already down, and I'm not quite sure these two here are all intent on heeding the words of the letter that was sent to every player regarding what happens when your HP hits [b]0.[/b]"[/i] Intimidating? The Imagineer had the voice, the stance, and the aura to give off one hell of a superior presence to these people. ...But now, she digressed. [i]"Magician. If you're going to help, don't kill them. I'm not up for gaining infamy on the first day on the job."[/i] While they went about that? One of the players in the back began to chant as this mess all started, a torrent of flame soon released from her staff to go right for the Magician as the White Knight took this moment to charge at the kid that'd decided to join in on the crazyness.
