Affected Characters: Rose, Sarebii

Mystic blinked slowly as she gazed up at the tall red haired woman as this stranger seemed nervous and shocked as she asked her worried questions. Eyes darting around the area, while the blonde girl seemed just as concerned. She didn't understand why they were worried, she just fell a little and there was little harm done.

Piercing her lips together nervously as she thought about how to answer the question, unsure if she should... But this red haired woman reminded her a little bit of her friend... And she didn't seem like a mean person.

"No, I'm all by myself." The dark haired girl replied softly as she rocked on her heels before smiling up brightly. "But my friend is suppose to be playing as well. She has red hair like you and is a little taller. But really lean and toned... She looks like a boy and her hair is messy and fluffy soft. Well I'm going to keep looking... Bye bye!" Mystic chirped cheerfully before starting to skip off further into the city in search of the one person she knew she would recognize... And feel a bit of comfort from.

As he was smacked on the back, his tail twitched as his teeth clench at the light pain that shot through him but he gave a cheerful smile in return, agreeing to the Blade Dancer's words. However that smile from the dark skinned man instantly changed the moment Prince picked up Lilith. A look of jealously and frustration in which Prince innocently smiled in return.

Quite odd, already there was those in the group with cute crushes. Or perhaps they had already been in a relationship before this? Mhmm he didn't know, he just knew that he was now deemed a obstacle for Sir Valentine. And as the woman was snatched out of his arms, he merely snickered as his ears twitched with amusement.

"But of course, careful though, you almost reopened some injuries with that possessive grip you took her with." the red haired teased as a almost purring rumble emitted from his throat as he watched the two to off ahead once more.

As they turned their back on him, his smile failed only briefly to a frown before reappearing again as he gave a mischievous eye towards his other companion. With a innocent grin he held out his arms in what one would assume was asking for hug.

"Well cutie since Vally has our Lily Flower, do you want me to carry you? You must be tired. Now now no arguing! Hop aboard the sexy train." he joked before not waiting for a answer from the other boy as he picked him up the same way he did Lilth and started walking after the others, humming along. Though he expected protests, yelling, a punch.. You know... The usual.

But he was worried... He could already sense monsters watching them... Maybe the troll wasn't alone and was just a scout? So if he had to, he would use his speed to outrun them. He should make it even if he was hurt and carrying someone... Though Vick wasn't exactly small either.

Mhmm he must of been a adorable kid, hah!

Walking alone, they soon reached the town only to find it fully decorated with pretty lights. Prince gave a whistle and cheered. "Awesome, the first game festival! Man already? I don't have that much money so spend on lovely dates." he groaned and pouted a little, his long ears drooping to the sides and his bottom lip puckered out a little.

Rose blinked in surprise as the little dark-haired girl described her missing friend and immediately began skipping away. "Taller than me!?" She mumbled to herself, for finding a girl over 6' was a rare thing indeed. Glancing to the blonde-haired girl, she offered a confused shrug. "I... probably shouldn't let her go alone. You could come along as well, maybe?" Without necessarily waiting for a reply, fearing the little girl would vanish if she let her get to far away, Rose offered the blonde-girl a friendly smile and a curt nod before turning away.

"Hey, wait up!" Her alto voice echoed after the child who moved quite fast for having such little legs. Rose's platemail clinked as she jogged up beside her, this time with a much calmer smile. "I'll help you look. More eyes means we can find her all the faster!" Though she'd read the Nexus city was perfectly safe for all players, she still felt incredibly uncomfortable thinking of this little girl wandering around the streets alone. "My name's Victoria..." She extended a gloved hand but paused for a moment, suddenly remembering that her own character name was likely still floating above her head. Did that mean introductions were unnecessary in a game like this? Should she even tell people her name in the real world? This appears to have become my 'real world'.. "Er... or, 'Rose', I guess."

Affected players~ Sir Valentine, Prince, Somewhat Vick


Lilith just watched the fight as it happened, feeling odd for not fighting beside them. But she honestly couldn't think anymore, the pain was too much and she started to shake, the cold getting to her much more easily than it should. But at least it had stopped raining, to Lilith's surprise, and it made her happy. She looked at Vick, knowing he didn't have a HP potion. "It's alright Vick, I'm a tough girl, I'll get through this!" She said, coughing some more and wiping a bit of blood off of her lips. Once the fight was over she allowed Prince to give her the HP potion, feeling it run through her body and give her some more strength, although her wounds kept on draining that HP with every drop of blood that fell from her body. "Thanks Prince." She murmured, feeling him pick her up bridal style and start to walk away with her.

But as she was about to go to sleep she was jolted awake by Valentine grabbing her from Prince's arms, but Valentine felt much warmer than Prince for some reason. She got a message from Ares, thankful that he was alright. She opened up her HUD, sending him a message quickly before closing her HUD and resting her head against Valentine's warm chest.



"I trust you Valentine, just do what you think...... Is...... Right......" Lilith said before she slumped against him, completely unconscious in his arms. Once they were in town they would see a scene of beauty, and compared to the four people coming out of the woods. A woman turned her head, looking at the poor girl in the blade dancers arms. She walked up to him, her username being 'The Doctor'. "I assume you need some help, from the looks of the blood all over you coming from your girl. Come on, I got a room at the Heroic Inn. I can get her fixed up there. And yes, I know her real life soul needs patching up, but I will need your help for that. Now come on, before she actually dies." The woman said, leading the way to the Heroic Inn and up to her room. There were two beds, Doctor offering the free bed as she grabbed her bandages and staff.

Doctor started to mutter strange words, looking at Lilith who started to glow red on the bed. She tapped the jewel encrusted staff onto her forehead, which Mae the bandages cover her wounds. She looked at Valentine, motioning for him to come closer. "Lilith's energy is unstable right now, and she needs a person who cares about her to administer a loving kiss. Think you can do that? Or will she never wake up?" Doctor asked, stepping aside and waiting for Valentine to decide.

Prince
Aeternus ll Mystic Forest
Town Square
Effected Players: Vick, Maximellio

Prince merely hummed at the boy's complaints, appearing like he hadn't heard a single thing that was uttered from the black haired boy. Though finally at the near pleas when they entered the city and watched S.V and Lilith disappear in the more richer inn with some Doctor, the red haired man finally set the boy down with a huge smirk.

"I'm sorry your just so enjoyable to hold, I swear I could hold you every night in my arms. I bet those lovely lips are quite a treat as well for a sweet kiss." Prince smirked, chuckling lightly, seeming to utterly enjoy teasing the poor blushing boy.

His throaty laughs led to a brief cough though. After all he was still hurt and exhausted. It took a lot out of him surviving that huge pack after all. He only made dodging look easy. Still, he didn't have much money and Lilith didn't really need him in the way of lover drama. She needed rest, so he'd wait for his turn. Vick on the other hand probably wouldn't make S.V so nervous, the kid wasn't that much threatening when it came to stealing women.

Then again Prince could be wrong, but he had a gut feeling that he was right.

"Well how about you go up after them and get some rest of your own? Your arm still hurts right? Gotta get that mended and since this is the fancy inn, you can refill your SP. I'll probably do some shopping. Gotta look classy for the ladies and gentlemen and my sweet little cutie." The red haired man grinned.

He had lost his coat to the girl he helped earlier. He was unsure where she went, but going around shirtless was not really a great idea in case it gets cold. Injuries + cold = bad things.

Hopefully he can get something relatively cheap, plus he wanted to see if the festival had some special items. Never know if there will be something that will help on the journey way out of here after all. So he'd let the others relax while he scouted. Was the least he could do.

Before he could move away, a black cat wandered closer. Long ears twitching, the feline man cocked a eyebrow as he felt a bad vibe in his gut. A odd feeling since he wasn't sure why there was a bad feeling, but there was. Even the wolf pup under his had poked its head out and growled at the black cat.

Despite this, the. Buccaneer gave a cheerful smile as he knelt down and gently stroked the cat behind the ears the. Under the chin. "Well aren't you a cutie little brother! Sorry fella, I don't have any milk on me but I'll see what I can do when I get back from shopping. Okay?" he grinned before standing again before shooting Vick a look.

"Take care." Prince said with a smile, but his teal eye seemed serious before he started off alone, his strides smooth at first, but occasionally he stumbled a little as pain stung at the wound on his chest.

He opened his HUB as he walked, reading another ominous email from this Ra character. This could pose a problem and having this email speaking of a special item and having this festival seemed too coincidental. So perhaps if he took a look around, he'd discover some info on the location of the item, so to prepare himself and others.

The little girl hummed as she walked, but stopped as heavy footsteps followed and a low voice called out to her. Mystic turned to look up at the tall armor clad girl from before, her curious purple eyes blinking as this lady named Victoria... Then Rose offered assistance.

Looking down briefly in thought, the young girl looked back up at the woman and gave a slow nod. Honestly a little happier to have company rather than being on her own, after all games are much more fun with friends.

"Well okay...But can we also look around the festival? It's pretty and has yummy smelling food!" Mystic chirped before making a cute little curtsy with her dark teal dress.

"I'm Mystic, please to meetcha Lady Rose." The young girl said before giggling, seeming to be enjoying herself in meeting a lady knight looking person.

Shai

Aeternus || Nexus[b]

Players affected:[b] Alessia

Shai walked around the crowded streets keeping to himself. Seeing everybody happy during the festival filled him with joy, but when was he not happy? He began to wander around passing the time by buying food every now and then. He watched as people sung and just have fun. While walking around he spotted a girl, maybe a bit shorter than him with long straight black hair speaking to a little girl looking to be not much older than 7. He hated knowing that kids that young were trapped in a place like this putting their lives on the. He watched as the little girl tried to give the black haired lady a lantern of some sort. Shai watched the older girl turn down the little girl with a smile. The older girl began explaining something. The younger girl gave a frown and then after some more talking from the older girl she smiled again, nodded and ran back to her group with a wave. Shai smiled and began pushing his way through the crowd to the older girl who seemed to be all alone. It puzzled him as to why she was alone in here but yet again he was alone too.

the girl didn't seem to notice Shai until he was right in front of her, Shai removed his black hood exposing his Spiked white hair with hot pink tips. He gave a friendly smile and began to speak, "Hey, I noticed you turn down that girl's present. Why, if I may ask?" He sat down next to the girl on the bench she was sitting on. "If you don't want to tell me it's okay, it's your business not mine." He spoke spoke with a chuckle. "Also, I noticed you were alone and a team is something valuable to have so I was wondering if you wanted to be on a team with me. If not it's okay and I understand." Shai Smiled and waited for a response.

Ah? Followed? The faint sound of one of them jumping off of the wagon graced her hearing, yet she was too far gone into her plan to give appropriate attention to who was following her. Instead, it was rather to her waiting that she preferred, eyes scanning the area until she could see what she needed to -- two large figures, armed and closer to her than the wagon. Unaware of the third, she finally glanced back to see -
"Ah. ...You followed?..."
Her lips curved into a frown as she turned to him, then to the trolls and took a deep breath. It was dark, and he was a knife-thrower, right?... That meant he needed a target. ...Alright. With her hands parting outwards in a quick forcing motion, they'd drop to her side as she moved in closer as her [b]Insomnia[b] began to activate in favor of granting Fool light to see his enemies via the bright, glowing feathers that descended over her body as a result of using the ability. A small flinch came at the usage of it, her digits sliding through her hair and a deep breath taken as she kept her gaze focused on the enemies at hand. The whole idea had been to lead them off and get back before she lost track of the wagon...But now she had someone else to worry about on top of it.

So, change of plans. Let's hope he was in hearing range.
"You've got a shot, so I'd suggest taking it!"
Because the next few seconds could go nicely, or terribly, as one managed to fall asleep within a matter of moments from her ability, whilst the other failed to fall into the slumber that she attempted to produce. Thus? Let the fight begin, with the Mastermind taking the first strike in order to draw the aggro! She's considered the consequences, of course. There were more people (well, HAD BEEN) on the wagon than over here, so here we went!

The crash from behind broke the silence as effectively as a microwave alarm at midnight. Jeremy spun to see the tree coming down as if to hit the wagon, but luckily it didn't, thanks to Baggles controlling the horses. A troll appeared in the torchlight. From behind, another rustle broke the silence as two more trolls appeared, their forms leaving a patch of the barely visible sky hidden in endless darkness. Not good, not good...

He rushed forward, but halted when she glanced back, a frown visible by the light of her magic. Wow, what a warm welcome. He raised an eyebrow and stood still, seeing the features falling again. He wasn't coming much closer during that. This was one of her AOE abilities if he recalled correctly. His name was Fool, but he wasn't one..
Normally.

Shiinen said "You've got a shot, so I'd suggest taking it!"

With that prompting Fool put on a burst of speed, his eyes intent catching every detail possible before the light faded. The aid of Dead Eye put a knife in the conscious troll's eye before the other hit the ground. He pulled another knife on the run, and then planted himself halfway between the angry incoming troll and Imagine, focusing just for a moment. "Darkness Slayer!"

Blades spun from his fingers quickly, but the troll didn't even stop, it lumbered forward, pulling its arm back to swing just as his last knife whistled into it with a thud. Fool didn't even pause to activate avoidance, he threw himself down bodily as a gigantic piece of wood whipped through the air where his head was, the miss staggering the troll long enough to activate Avoidance.

Jeremy's eyes were wide with both surprise and fear, his blades had each dealt the troll just a portion of what they had the players. He lacked time to even summon them back. That took too much thinking.

The beast was intelligent to stomp down at him, but Fool was already upright, ducking the next swing easily. At such close quarters he couldn't have thrown a knife if he wanted, all the lithe knife thrower was capable of was ducking and dodging the swings- which were slow, but growing faster- the troll was learning to use his own momentum to keep a continuous swinging motion. The result was an odd sort of dance, Fool ducking and weaving as he stepped about, the troll turning and attempting to keep pace. Surprisingly the troll was beginning to catch up. Fool couldn't dodge forever. This is what I get for trying to be nice. Great. He slipped and the club smashed into his side, tossing Fool bodily across the road and into a tree. He had managed to rise to his hands and knees, coughing violently, when he looked up to see the troll's form storming towards him, bellowing in anger and covered in black fluid, where his throwing knives stuck out all over its stomach and chest as dark shadows. Fool rolled sideways just in time to avoid being smashed by an overhead swing that splintered and cracked the tip of the club on the ground with an audible crunch.

The price for that roll was another round of coughing. In the real world, that blow would have shattered ribs and possibly punctured a lung.

He knew the pain was just a simulation here... Fool staggered upright and backed away from the troll rapidly, going even paler than normal as he attempted to fight the pain. He would have sworn if he could have, realizing he was backing away from the torchlight marking the wagon, further down the road. A small defiant smile crossed his lips. "Better me than her, you bastard." He had always wanted to die with a witty phrase.

Affected Players: Moon234, Xenoko, Wandering Fool, The Imagineer, Lilith

The sound of the tree trunk thudding against the stone path startled the horses causing them to break into a flat-out gallop. And in mere seconds, three trolls came into the scene, one trailing close behind and two a shortening distance ahead.

Bright, emerald eyes shot Moon a reassuring glance of confidence. “Keep your chin up, you hesitate? People die.” He steered the horse closer to the racing wagon and jumped. Ares gripped a barrel of ale by the bottom, metal rim, lifted with the muscles of his quadriceps and flung it with the full force of his garnered momentum. Dark Wave – With a determined swing of his great-lance, Ares shot a powerful slash of his dark magic that connected with the barrel midair causing it to burst into an explosion impacting the troll’s body.

As the wagon drew closer to the scene up ahead, Ares could see the struggle that ensued. He maintained his gaze forth. “Protect the cargo, soldier. As long as your familiar keeps to the troll’s periphery, it will be fine.” Ares leapt off the wagon to mount his racing horse. With a light kick and a ‘hiya’, the Dark Knight commanded the black horse into a faster gallop. Pinpointing his target, Ares held the butt of his great-lance with his right hand and held along the length of the black-steel weapon with his left as if preparing to launch a projectile. As the horse sped into striking distance, Ares lunged forward, becoming a ballistic force and ferociously drove his weapon into the back of one of the trolls – Earth Breaker. He rolled as he hit the ground to lessen the consequences of physics. He rapidly stood up, his weapon still lodged deep into the rough, green flesh of the monster’s back. Ares charged forward, slid between the stunned creature’s legs, and jumped to retrieve Soul Eater with a forceful tug.

Trademark green eyes shot a glance at the player before him – Wandering Fool. ”Don’t be so eager to die. There's always a plan for everything.” His expression betrayed his words; a cool and detached gaze seemed fixed on his hooded face. They should've known better, he thought but chose to say only what was necessary.

The third troll was asleep and the second wouldn’t cause anyone any harm with its health bar practically nonexistent. Ares visibly relaxed; he took a long breath and turned to the female – the Imagineer. “How long until that one wakes?” He asked her, gesturing at the third troll. At that moment, Ares' HUD lit up with a new message. It was Lilith. He shook his head as he read the message before responding.



Ares wasn't sure what was going on but knowing Aurora it was probably blown out of proportion. But she was his friend and he worried about her.

Prince
Aeternus ll Nexus
Town Square

It hurt... His head was absolutely pounding and his breaths were ragged, but he couldn't show weakness now. So he would keep smiling and greeting those he passed. Even when he wanted to scream and hold his head as he cowered in a corner. If he was going to help people to the best of his abilities, he'd have to put aside his wishes and be a strong supportive individual who those could count on.

As he wandered around the festival booths, he made sure to examine each one. One, he found a nice set of clothing for a decent price, and even found quite the classy outfit for himself. Deciding it was better walking around in just pants, a scarf and a hat, he spent the 5 gold for the outfit. He tucked his scarf under the jacket after he finished changing in the dressing room.

Checking himself out in the minor, he spun his body around and placed his hands on his hips as he shook them a little. A natural habit of his in real life, mostly a girl thing when shopping. Hey, when shopping for clothes like pants, it's best to test them out by wiggling your ass. Course he was a guy right now and the same rules might not apply, but he still found it a good test to check for comfort.

Finding the white and red outfit acceptable, he continued along his little adventure.

The first booth he found was selling lanterns. He was unsure of the purpose other than amusement, but spent the gold to get one lantern.

10 gold for a paper lantern... Seemed a little much considering this was gold but hey whatever. He may have waisted his money or he may of not. Besides, it was a homey thing to do and gave a nice warm fuzzy feeling.

The next booth was one of those shooting booths. But Prince was a swordsman, not a marksman so he merely asked what the prizes were before moving on. Perhaps he could ask someone who could shoot to try and get the prizes and see what they did but for now he'd move on.

The third one was the most amusing. A drawing booth for making random dates for people. Luckily this was free. The red haired man blinked slowly as he looked at the booth thoughtfully. Now sure he had urged with just about everyone, but he didn't honestly think people would want his company in that way. Who would like someone like him? Some girl in a guys body who played the part quite well?

Someone taller than most people? Someone who was damaged goods?

Mhmph, doubtful. In a way, he was jealous of Lilth and Sir Valentine. Their romance was just innocently blooming. It was always cute to see and perhaps he flirted because he secretly wanted something like that. Yet at the same time he didn't.. It scared him a little.

Shaking his head, he decided to play this off as another game in befriending people and took a number.

Number 666... Well shit his number is already unlucky. Today was apparently one of the unluckiest days ever. He laughed though and waved his hand to the booth attendant, who stared after him curiously as he left. Apparently he'd get messages once he was matched. More people still needed to enter apparently.

The final booth was a bit of a weird one. It was a old lady and she was raving about something odd, yet caught Prince's attention.

"I say there is a danger in the woods I tell you!!!! DAAAAANGER!!!!" The old woman yelled loudly, her gray hair frazzled a bit and her raggedy black robes flailing with her wrinkly hands.

Prince blinked, but smiled and held up his hands steadily. "Now Now beautiful maiden. Pray tell could you tell me of this danger? Perhaps I could lend my assistance and take care of it so no worries trouble your wise mind." the red haired man reassured, his newly bought white gloves gently touching the odd woman's shoulders.

Clicking her chapped dry lips together, the elderly woman held out her right hand, her body leaning against a wooden cane she was holding to her left.

"Well sonny, that information is 2 gold." She answered dryly.

Pausing at the request, Prince opened his mouth to curiously question, "I must apologize for any insult beautiful maiden, but why do you---" he started before yelping loudly as the cane smacked him on top of his head. His hands gripped his head and he whined softly as the his teal eye watched the elder wave her staff.

"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to question your elders?! 2 gold!" she demanded with a huff as she set her cane down a safe distance once more.

Heaving a heavy sigh, the red haired man took out his purse and gingerly dropped two gold pieces into her wrinkly grasp, hoping this was not a wasted effort. He let out a cat like yowl as his left fluffy year was roughly tugged down on to the old woman's level and whispered into.

Ow... Cats must have sensitive ears and tails... Or maybe the GM just has a cat people fetish.

Sarebii ran after Rose, raising her voice a bit so her words didn't come out as mumbles as she ran. "Of course I'll join you!" It wasn't like she had anything going on anyway, but she did want to make sure the little girl was safe. As they were catching up to the little girl, Sarebii began slowly trailing behind. Laughing at the fact a woman with armor could run faster than herself; though she had to admit the woman also looked a bit funny.

"And I'm Sarebii," she said with a smile, catching up just after Mystic introduced herself. "Nice to meet the two of you." Sarebii turned her attention to Mystic, keeping her smile as she talked. "So where're we off to, dearie?" She thought it would be fun to put such a cute little girl in charge, though she didn't think or know what rose thought about that. This made her glance ever-so slightly at Rose to see if her thoughts showed.

Ah...a flashy display was dealt out, with Imagine stepping back as the lavish brutality delivered to the troll sent it's HP dwindling until the point came around that it sent her companion back with a brutal smash to the side. Ah?! What was he doing?! Another hit like that and he could...

No. She couldn't let that happen.

With movement quicker than what could be registered, she descended upon the troll with Kill The Queen, killing intent in every fiber of her body as she scaled on top of it's back in a matter of moments and her knife digging into it's back over and over again as the damage from her Insomnia kicked in once again, forcing the giant down for good as she landed upon it. Blood dripped from her blade, genuine concern finally taking hold of her gaze as she offered a hand up to him.
"...I didn't think I'd be followed...I'm sorry."

Ares called out to them, the small turn of the girl's head made to offer some form of attention as she called out to him with a simple retort to the inquiry made in order to appease his curiosity.
"Two more rounds. Ah...another left?..."

...Sanity low, but save for Moon, who she had last seen healthy, and the Monk that seemed to have passed out...The voices creeped in as she would try to reason in what could go wrong, what could go right, what could happen...Ah, slowly she began to draw up her bloodied weapon as those trademark butterflies around her began to shift to black. Yes, this was a necessity before any wrong could come to the wagon.

Argh...her head...so many voices overwhelming her own thoughts as she aimed past the darkness to where she'd last seem the dueling figure of Moon's familiar...Shaky hands and a deep breath followed her slicing the air in front of her in half, winged concepts forming into beams of negative energy as she sent her Black Thought out towards the conscious enemy. A critical hit at that, her sanity drained in favor of destroying the troll's sight and render him blindly swinging at the air.

In return?

She dropped. On her knees, her hands came to grasp her head, breaths between becoming labored as she trembled. Here, here, so many whispers of terrible things came and went as she shook her head and began to beat at her own head.
"Stop, stop, stop...Too many voices...too many...voices...!"

A poor man's attempt was made at one of the violet vials in her pocket, dropping it from her shaking hands and rolling to the side as she began to curl up within herself and shake in the little ball she'd become. Ah...the...potion...

...Ah, when did everything start to blend in together?

Aeternus || Nexus
Heroic Inn
Affected players~ Sir Valentine and Ares


Lilith was in a deep sleep when she felt lips touch hers, reacting the way any girl would, although she could only think of two people who could be kissing her; Ares and Valentine. But she honestly didn't think that Ares could ever love her, he just didn't seem to see anything than 'just friends'. At least with her anyways. So there was only one option left; Valentine, the one she was in love with, and he lived her back. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her right leg 'popping', and her lips kissing his back. The kiss lasted for a minute or so before she finally opened her eyes, seeing it actually was her Valentine, parting her lips as she smiled, a bit out of breath. "How could I possibly know it was you?" Lilith asked with a smile, giving his lips a quick kiss as she recieved a message from Ares. Lilith sent him a message before staring into Valentine's eyes again.



Lilith knew she was giving Ares the cold shoulder, which she never gave him in the non-video game world, but this was the new Aurora! Lilith was all the things Aurora could never be, and she liked it. She wasn't the nice girl she used to be, she was the new girl that everyone never used to see; the dark side of her. But this part of her was sick of Ares being clueless, or what she saw as clueless, and it was tiresome to go chasing after someone who couldn't see the love you always held for them. She was fed up, and from now on, she wouldn't be Miss. Nice Girl to Ares, anymore. He'd get what everyone else got, and she'd give her love to Valentine, the man who actually loved her back. And that was final, no if's, and's, but's about it!

Lilith noticed all the bright lights coming from outside, wondering what exactly was going on out there. "Valentine..... What's going on outside?" She asked, tilting her head to the side like a cat would when they were confused.

The troll raised itself up in preparation for a solid blow, its prey wasn’t going to go anywhere too fast. Before the club could descend the troll stumbled forward as a shock seemed to echo through it, a horse galloped past, the man who had joined them earlier rolled to present, going straight under the troll to retrieve his lance. His voice formed the sentence as admonishment, but the man himself seemed to care little for the situation. A moment later, the troll came crashing down- an armed Imagine riding the troll’s back to the ground, a bloody ornate knife held in one hand. Fool had sat in a weary drop from the moment the troll went for the death blow, and could only take Imagine’s offered hand numbly. The pain in his chest was settling. As he had thought earlier, a lot of the perceived pain was a mental exaggeration. The pain was real, but the actual feeling of having his ribs smashed and broken was not. Or was it? At this point, his mind was a bit too far gone to know for certain. Imagine offered a small apology, for what Fool wasn’t quite certain.

His response to her was tired. “No one should be alone, not when death is a real threat in every fight.” Something he had learned all too well. Two hits… it made Fool question his chances of survival. It was easily possible that most of the ranged classes would die out over time, faced with melee enemies that couldn’t be brought down quickly enough. That was a risk of not having a proper party, especially for a light class such as a Knife Thrower. Fool cast Bound Blades and staggered as he took on the weight of his ten throwing knives. An individual knife didn’t weigh much, but all ten together added some weight. Jeremy took a quick step away when the light around her darkened, not really wanting to get hit by anything of her abilities. Ever.

So her AOE only knocks things out for three turns…. I suppose the damage effect runs on a similar time frame. Fool had his HUD pulled up and was about to edit his notes on her abilities when Imagine fell over and started slamming the palms of her hands into her head, yelling something about voices. He exited his HUD and reached out to stop her, but already she had paused, almost jittery as she pulled some sort of potion from her inventory. Imagine couldn’t grasp it well and fell onto her side, curling up and shuddering like a hand mixer on high. Jeremy grabbed the potion immediately, taking just a millisecond to read its name before kneeling and trying to pry apart her curled up ball. It was a pain, particularly because of her being female, there were few places he could grab that weren't awkward. The whole issue made his face burn, but it had to be done.

Fool rolled Imagine onto her back, not bothering to pry at her arms and legs, putting her head in his lap and forcing her lips open by putting a hand over her jaw and squeezing- (Something he used to do to tease his sister, making a fishy face.) and then pulling out the cork of the potion with his teeth, one hand occupied. Jeremy hesitated just a moment, and then slowly poured the potion between her lips. He tossed the vial to the side and held Imagine's mouth closed until she swallowed, and sat still with her until the shaking began to recede.

Jeremy stood with a pained sigh, lowering her head to the ground gently, “I doubt I can carry her back to the wagon, like this.” His white shirt under the tuxedo had ran through with blood in multiple spots, and it looked like the flesh underneath was misshapen, odd bumps and dips where there shouldn’t be. It would be a nightmare to hold a weight against his chest, and the person probably wouldn’t appreciate the blood either. “I trust you are strong enough to take care of that sleeping troll, carry her back to the wagon?” Jeremy spoke to Ares blandly as he passed him, no emotion to give, and too tired to add some fake emotion.

The walk back to the wagon was without a backwards glance. He had done what he could, and that was enough. As the troll that was still living came within throwing range Jeremy had to restrain himself from killing it out of frusteration. Moon needs that experience, it wouldn’t be right to take that from him. Instead, Jeremy hoisted himself up into the wagon with the help of an offered hand by Baggles. Once there, he laid himself down and closed his eyes. A nap would be nice. Vaguely Fool recalled the item he had used on Imagine. Sanity potion… I could sure use one of those right now. For some reason though, he doubted it would work.

Rose
Aeternus || Nexus
Affected Characters: Sarebii, Mystic


"Of course we can look around the festival!" Rose chuckled at being called 'lady' by such an adorable little girl. Obviously it fit a bit more for her appearance in this world, but in the real one nobody who knew her even a little would likely use such a title. "After all, that's probably where your friend is likely to turn up, I'd think." The knight's red hair flipped as she turned back to Sarebii with a friendly smile. "It's nice to meet you both. Well, shall we continue?" With a wave of her gloved arm, she indicated that Mystic should take the lead, amused with the idea of the little girl taking charge and giving Rose a break for once. "Perhaps we should ask around the booth managers to see if they've spotted her."

Well... old habits died hard.

The decorations of the festival were enthralling, to be sure: Rose marveled at the level of detail in the streamers and paper lanterns strung above the streets as they passed below them and delighted in the sweet smells that wafted through the air. It was those smells that caused her stomach to suddenly growl with enough volume to make her cheeks flush a vibrant pink. "Eh... sorry... I spent all my coins on an inn room and have yet to acquire enough for my dinner..."
