[quote=Alizee][color=916BB4][b]“...[i]Deal.[/i] I'll stop searching.”[/b][/color][/quote]

Britney smiled. Hopeful that this can work. She opened her mouth, getting ready to mouth the words: [i][color=f4eb93]If she does anything, put it on [b]me[/b]...[/color][/i]

[quote=Alizee][color=916BB4][b]“[i]... Where[/i] is he? Where have they sealed him?”[/b][/color][/quote]... Only for that smile to turn flat. Her jaw dropped as it took only ten seconds for this idiot to turn around on her word. Britney facepalmed, her hand loudly slapping. Not only did Alizee break her word instantly, but she also made Britney look [i]very[/i] bad. 

[color=f4eb93][i]Well, that's on her.[/i][/color] Britney thought to herself as she thought of the perfect way to seal Alizee... she focused on the ground underneath Alizee and created roots and vines in the shape of her preferred sealing symbol. Of course, only onlookers should be able to notice, and long as nobody blows their load or says anything stupid-

”Seal her. Do it.”[/color][/quote]
[h3][color=f4eb93][i][b]”... WILL YOU BITCHES LEARN SOME [u]SUBTLY!?[/u]”[/b][/i][/color][/h3]
Britney shouted at Sloane and Amara - not even turning her head to look at them as she had to focus on the sealing symbol. For real, are they [i]trying[/i] to make Alizee run away? Or take a fucking [i][b]hostage?[/b][/i] Their stupidity drove her up the wall.

[quote][color=916BB4][b]“Please, don't do this. Listen, the Temple is filled with people, isn't it? Can't Layla report to you if I even dare to show up? I swear, I won't pursue the Void, and I won't step foot in the Temple. I won't have a way to see him. [i]I'm not a threat to you![/i] I'm sorry I asked; I shouldn't have asked.  But now my search is over! I know where he is, now I can give up and move on. Please, please, don't resign me to a fate worse than death! Please don't give up on me! We were friends once, weren't we?!”[/b][/color][/quote]

Thankfully, Alizee didn't just cut and run (or kidnap Layla. Or tear her head off in front of them) like Britney expected. She chose to plead and beg... but Britney gave her that chance, and she shits right in her face! So, fuck that. Britney kept making the sealing symbol out of rots and vines, until it became [url=https://i.imgur.com/mc0UqML.jpg]a more coherent shape.[/url]

Then...

[quote=Leon][color=C67C12][b]"If anyone dares lay a finger upon this Soul, or the Body meant for her; I will be their retribution."[/b][/color][/quote]

[color=f4eb93]”... The Body?”[/color] Britney tilted her head at Leon. [color=f4eb93]”The fuck?!”[/color]

Luca and Clancy had an issue with it, but it seemed that Layla also wanted to be adjoined to Alizee. Or at least that's how Britney interpreted it: she had thoroughly checked out and gave up.

[color=f4eb93]”... You know what? Do whatever the hell you want with them,”[/color] Britney rolled her eyes, dismissively waving her hand at Leon. [color=f4eb93]”[i]I'm [b]done.[/b][/i]”[/color]

Britney found herself a seat next to Greyson... getting ready to pack her shit up and leave. She expected nothing to get done, but this was ridiculous! It appeared that not only Britney was getting sick of their shit, but the Greenwood leader...

[sup]With the Greenwood Coven doing stuff.[/sup][/center][right][b]Interactions:[/b] Sloane ([@Atrophy]), Anya ([@FernStone]), Lila ([NoriWasHere]), Layla ([@Estylwen]) and The Entire Coven.[/right][right][b][code]Outside the House on the Hill.[/code][/b][/right][hr][hr]

[quote=Someone Who Seriously Needs To Get Laid][color=silver][b][i]“RUBY IS FUCKING HIGH AND THOSE TWO ARE CULTISTS!!!”[/i][/b][/color][/quote]


Ruby looked on, clutching that tree branch tightly.

"... You call this high?" Ruby asked Sloane with a playful smirk. "Keep talking, and I'll have to upgrade to something harder." She rolled her eyes as she turned away from Sloane.

This whole meeting, despite starting [i]so[/i] good, went to shit in the blink of an eye. All it took was one idiot to open their mouths, and it went utterly [i]left[/i]. Auri didn't do anything to control them - Auri wasn't here there! She had left with two of them, which didn't help Ruby's opinion of the Coven. They were uncontrollable, chaotic, and she was honestly getting sick of their shit. One of them tried to play damage control, but Ruby saw that, from her emotional state, she was only trying to play damage control, and it was coming from a place of selfishness.

[quote=Anya][color=9966CC]”Ruby, I’m so sorry about this. Nobody means any harm, or to cause you and your coven any offence. Tempers are high with the killer around… I hope you can understand that?”[/color][/quote]

"I do understand that, but..." Ruby rolled her eyes as she slowly walked back onto the stage. She walked up and got a good look at everyone's emotional states. Tensions were high, but the issue was far from where tensions were high. There was a straightforward issue; from the looks of the rest of the Greenwood Coven, they felt the same way. "... You know, I'm willing to look past her [i]immediately[/i] trying to instigate the second we walked in after eavesdropping on us. No hello or nothing." 

Ruby glanced at Lila, making it clear that she was talking about her. Of course, Ruby knew that she didn't mean any harm from it, but it was still a valid point nonetheless. Then she pointed towards Layla.

"And I'm willing to overlook the gold medalist in [i]mental gymnastics [/i]over there blaming my girl for that idiot getting herself killed [i]in the situation she and her little Casper [b]CREATED[/b][/i]..." Ruby spoke bluntly and didn't care if she tanked the alliance herself. Because, so far, she wasn't impressed with the Sycamore Tree "Coven" and couldn't depend on them [i]at [b]all[/b][/i]. If anyone here got offended, Ruby would not hesitate to leave outright.

"But, I just [i][b]can't[/b][/i] look past how dysfunctional, chaotic, disorganized-" [i]And wholly incompetent.[/i] Ruby resisted the urge to tack on the last point out of tact. "... you all are. Some of you seem like outright liabilities." Briefly, Ruby glanced at Amara and Linqian but kept her mouth shut. What she did do was tap her staff on the ground as she continued,

"Like, how are we supposed to make any plans with all of you screaming at each other and having outright mental breakdowns? How are we supposed to get [i]anything[/i] done in this kind of environment?" Ruby sighed before she added on. "Or how are we supposed to depend on you when we put those plans into action? Or God forbid when shit hits the fan?"

Ruby let the words hang in the air, feeling the tension ripple through the crowd. The faces before her were a mixture of resentment, embarrassment, and barely restrained anger. Ruby didn't care. Not. [i]One. [b]Bit.[/b][/i] If this alliance was going to work, it needed a [i]reality check[/i], and she wasn't about to mince words.

"Look," Ruby continued, putting a hand on her chest. "I'm not saying the Greenwood Coven is [i]perfect[/i] by any means. God knows we have [i]our[/i] issues. But we come together. We make it[i] work.[/i] We find a way to get shit done because we[i][b] have to.[/b] We[/i] don’t have the luxury of falling apart."

Ruby scanned the crowd, focusing on those who had been vocal earlier, before she continued, "I had high hopes for all of this from yesterday, but right now, I'm seriously having second thoughts."

Taking a deep breath, Ruby finally tried to salvage what was left of this disastrous meeting. "If you want this alliance to mean anything: [i]start acting like it.[/i] Get your shit together, or we're out. We're trying to make a [i]difference:[/i] we don’t have time to babysit [i]nobody[/i]."

Ruby narrowed her eyes at them, knowing that this would piss some of them off. Again, she was done with it. She could hear the various members of the Greenwood Coven whispering to each other as she scrambled to grab the untouched pizza and food. 

[i]They see the writing on the wall.[/i]
