How did he manipulate plants? It was odd, but something he knew he could do quite easily. Of course, if he was too forceful with it, he'd collapse, but he'd been good at keeping himself checked. It only happened four times, and those were... well... learning experiences, to say the least. [b][color=92278f]"Practice. Determination. A lot of research. I could probably teach you some things, later, if you really wanted, but right now..."[/color][/b] Bonesword walked through his door, looking at Maceroy as he did so. [color=92278f][b]"I'm going to be doing some more of my work here in my lab, trying to get an edge up in the next battle, after this one. You should participate, make yourself known to Eos."[/b][/color] With that, Bonesword closed the door behind him and Charlie, letting Maceroy go off and fight for the Machina.

Gross..."[/color] Apia remarked under her breath as Victoire gave her speech. It was nice to know that there was someone looking out for her in the grand scheme of things, even if it wasn't specifically her. After it was concluded, Apia nodded respectfully as she thought about how to approach this fight. She'd been out of action for a while, so... maybe the best course of action was to follow behind someone and possibly assist them? That made sense, right? Maybe she'd even use them as shield if she had to, although she really didn't want to resort to that. Now, who to follow... ah, the cold guy! Ghelgath, was it? She heard about his... embarrassing plight to try and charm Rufus a few minutes ago, so maybe he needed some assistance in his endeavors here? Maybe they'd even work to get them recognized and possibly respected? That probably wouldn't blow over well with Ira if it didn't work... but she'd definitely try! That was important too, right? [color=yellow]"Hope you don't mind if I tag along."[/color] Apia said as she disappeared into the catacombs behind Ghelgath, a swarm of bees following behind her, docile at the moment. [hr] [center][h3][color=dodgerblue]Evelyn Pyrothol[/color][/h3][@KoL][@Silvan Haven][/center] Eve bounced on her feet, eager to get things going. Her feet were leaving cute little prints in the snow, and her armor was properly on despite how odd it made her look. Her wings were smoking slightly, probably as a way to keep her warm for the time being, or maybe to be prepared to fight the undead ahead of her. Either way, she spoke up to the others in the group around her, offering her input on the matter. [color=dodgerblue]"Now, I'm not going to say I'm against these ideas, but I will say that I am not one for staying behind. If you need a way to roast these bodies, however, I'll be willing to slam into 'em."[/color] After a moment of thought, Eve piped up once more, with a more... useful idea. [color=dodgerblue]"I evaded being captured by demons for a good decade or two. Maybe I should scout ahead?"[/color] She was nimble, dodgy, and vibrant, so it somewhat made sense for her to scope out the situation instead of the others. In any case, she began to hover over an zombified man as he tried to swipe at her legs with half of his arm. He was determined, Eve will give him that.
