[quote=@rush99999] Luka was drawn from his stunned reverie by Ashley's request. Eager for anything to take his mind off of the terrifying experience he had just been put through, Luka rose from the booth and snapped his fingers. With a puff of smoke, [THE ESSENCE OF LIFE] was a faceless baseballer no longer. Instead, the Eidolon resembled [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/4fef8920-7417-4d79-b7da-e0f3aa3419fb.png]a faceless version of the Pied Piper of Hamelin[/url]. "One contained MegaTen reference coming right up." Luka declared before departing to the kitchen. Once within 15 feet of the creature in the kitchen, Luka would have his Eidolon begin playing a calming melody on the pipe. Meanwhile, Luka himself would use his ability to will the creature into a state of calm and compliance so that he could lead it back out to the others. [/quote] [center] [color=#2a86d6][b]The Magician[/b] - Positive - [i]You achieve the impossible[/i][/color][/center] [b]Luka[/b], your Eidolon marches merrily into the diner's kitchen, piping away on his flute, and--fittingly--you follow. Getting within fifteen feet of the creature requires you to walk all the way into the doorway, but no further, and you manage to stay in range to maintain Ashley and Emily's disguises. The kitchen is an absolute wreck. Tubs of condiments have been upended and the creature's frantic movements have smeared them across the floor, making it look like an abstract painting in mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Pots, pans, and dishes have been knocked over, and sit in piles on every surface, including the mayo puddle. The sound of crashing stainless steel stopped moments before you walked in, and you can see the cause of the sudden silence: the creature sits in the middle of the floor, dripping ketchup from its spindly appendages. Its head has become lodged in a metal pan, which it is having a surprising amount of trouble removing. As your Eidolon gets within range of it, the creature's efforts cease, and its head turns sightlessly towards The Essence Of Life. The song utterly captivates it; it rises to its feet, still shaky, and waddles through the mess to come meet you, following you into the lobby of the diner (if that's where you choose to lead it). [quote=@Guardian Angel Haruki] After that, she proceeds to uncap the pen and begin to write in her journal again, "[I]As Emily writes in the journal, magic flows through the air once again! This time, they swirl in front of the doors, buffering and buffeting against those who would try to enter or leave the diner. The only indication of this barrier would be the papers or small debris that flies upon the gales, creating the phenomenon known as Dust Devils...[/I]" She then closes the journal and caps her pen once more, and watches to see if her idea would work... [/quote] [center][color=#2a86d6][b]The Star[/b] - Positive - [i]A new path reveals itself[/i][/color][/center] [b]Emily[/b], as you look up from your journal you see the whirls of dust kick up around the front door of the diner. The barrier is now in place, ready to rebuff anyone who tries to walk through the door. That's not the only effect, though. As the power flows through you, into your Eidolon, and then out into the world, you feel it push against something intangible. This... friction (for lack of a better term) doesn't impede your Eidolon at all, but it does do something [i]stranger[/i]. A fast-moving wave of color comes from the place where you stand, rushing out to cover every surface around you. A similar effect happens to Simonsen, as well, and before either of you can react much the whole diner has been changed. Objects seem to be colored at random, in bright and contrasting shades. The formerly red booth seats are now bright green; the chrome bar has been changed to a hot pink; even the white tile flooring has changed, becoming a sky blue and orange checkerboard pattern. Simonsen's jaw drops open as he stares at the three of you. He sputters for a second, then finally manages "You have an Eidolon!"
