Lunalel Lightsword

"What! Sorcha!? What's going on? I figured you put this together earlier, but... Well, rather, why?" Luna asked. She was a little surprised, though she supposed she shouldn't have been. "What is the meaning of this?" The knightess was rather unworried, just greatly confused. "What is this speak of a grand prize? Just colorful paper?"

Katherine's Dolls

The Stall-Owner scratched his head a bit. He looked at the dolls that stared between themselves to figure out what to do and then to Meowka who looked overly confident. "So... Uhh, cat? Girl? Whatever you want to be called..." The young looking man said. "It seems you don't really know how to play? I mean, do what you want... But if you want one of the prizes you gotta' land it..." He grabbed a nearby horseshoe and skillfully landed it around the stick, showing how to "score". "Like that, you know?" He felt pity on the girl and retrieved the horseshoes and gave the ones she threw back to her. "Try again now that you know how to do it." The dolls were slightly relieved that they didn't have to figure out a way to tell her so they gave the Stall-Owner a hand in the air to which he was utterly confused.

Eith the Shellagh

"Inhuman creatures..." Eith said as someone yelled "Zombies". "Miren, I'll be back." The Shellagh ran off. She had a bad sense about whatever that "Zombie" was. When she saw one, she knew exactly why. It was a rotting monstrosity. Not even Eith would want to eat that, nor put her mouth near it. Rather, she stayed in her human form and clawed the thing's head off though realistically she just needed to hit it hard enough. There... Were a couple more too. It was easy enough really. The Shellagh felt like she could take an army of these slow things. She went about destroying the rest of these monsters as well.

Mugi

Mugi was about to enjoy another of Cynthia's delicious treats. . . And then. . . A dumb pumpkin headed moron... Mugi froze for a bit processing what just happened... No, now. . . "Oh my, I think the pumpkin headed one wants to die. Yes, yes." Cynthia was already running. . . But now, Mugi was chasing on an ever increasing trail of ice. "Puummmmpppkkkkiiinnnnn heeeaaaaddd!!! If you don't want to freeze to death, give them bacccckkkkkk!" Mugi yelled, maybe sounding a little too happy for the words she said.

Richard Lightsword

"Sounds like more than a prank..." Richard said, taking a look. Well, it wasn't like he could see anything anyhow. It didn't seem that the Headmistress was interested in whatever was going on so he cautiously followed her. "But if you seem unworried..."

[Roleplayer001]

Maoin couldn't resist having her eyes practically bulge out from her head as she heard Lady Sorcha issue her an order and a very strong suggestion. "Y-yeah ... M-m ..." The kitten left the stage and went down to Lady Lightsword and brought her red-faced to the dragoness before departing.

Of course it hadn't been an order, but she didn't have much else to do at the fair alone since she had already spent all her money on clothing and various gifts ... it didn't take long for the cat to track down her quarry as she headed through the streets with some purpose. Soon enough she appeared at Marie's side with so much blood rushed to her skin that it was a surprise her organs had enough to maintain themselves.

Eventually Maoin managed to gather to courage to say something intelligible. "H-hi?" The kitten looked down towards the ground and held her tail tightly in her hands as if that would solve all of her problems as she seemed to be waiting for a response of some sort without knowing what she really wanted.

The Dragon would probably be disappointed by her lack of confidence, but that was all she could manage.

"H-hey!" The phoenix exclaimed as she was bushed forward on the ice by the hydra and extended her arms in an instinctual effort to balance herself as she tried to slow down, but the unexpected shove made her lose all control of the situation as she wasn't experienced enough to deal with it as she approached the edge of the ice and was about to head into the water.

"H-help!"

Meowka looked towards the stall owner as she was addressed. "I am Meowka, prowler of the night and companion to the realm's most powerful archwizard!" However she accepted the horseshoes and looked at the man as they were passed over. "I accept your offering. Now that I know the goal ..."

Twenty seconds later the horseshoes are laid around the target in a five foot ring, as if they were intended by some divine force to stay away from the target. The cat looked on, blinking in confusion about how she could have done badly at all in this competition. Well of course she couldn't do badly - she was a prowler of the night. "You haven't seen that great of a display before, have you?!"

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Miren~

O-oh goodness. Zombies? Oh dear this was bad. Not entirely outside of her experiences though - she had occasionally dealt with otherworldly things on her travels. It was a risk one took when exploring the lost places of the world. So she was confident in her ability to deal with them as long as she kept a mostly level head about herself. And well, Eith seemed to be taking care of the putrid things herself.

"Grrraaah-"

"Eeep!" Miren jumped, reflexively sending a powerful kick into the zombie next to her. The zombie didn't stand a chance - Mirens kick seemed to dislocate a number of joints from its already broken body before sending it flying into a wall. Oh dear, oh dear, this was bad. There were a lot of zombies. Oh dear oh dear her little bunny heart was beating a too fast for her to count. It felt like it was about to leap out of her chest almost.

~Gwynn & Ritsa~

"Aw geez," Gwynn sighed, immediately moving. Well, better to learn through practice rater than later right? Gwynn moved swiftly across the ice, easily overtaking Fia before she even came close to the water at the edge of the ice. Instead of stopping or helping though, instead she simply made more ice. With a series of elaborate and graceful twirls, acrobatics, and movements she had covered most of the rest of the lake with a thick coat of ice. Once she was done, she moved back over to Fia.

"Hey now, you've done good so far. I showed you how to stop already." Gwynn replied. "One foot out at an angle, should slow you down enough."

~Sorcha~

"Tsk, you're denser than a pile of rocks, Luna." Sorcha giggled, giving Luna a quick kiss on the cheek. "The grand prize is me, silly human." The dragon released Luna from the hug, walking over to the box. "I was really having trouble thinking of a good prize, you know? Treasure isn't befitting of a knight. A knight should fight purely for honor, glory, and for their king. So...obviously, I was the best option!~" She turned to face Luna.

~Cynthia~

The maid wouldn't be letting that pumpkin head get away so easily! It was fast, but not as fast as she was. NotAyumi swiftly made her way through the quickly diminishing people of the streets, likely having been driven away by a sudden undead outbreak. Whoopsie~ The pumpkin paid them no mind though, easily moving through the streets. The silly maid couldn't catch her so easily, nope! She was a trained little nin nin jack-o-lantern. Outrunning this little maid was going to be easy for her.

Unfortunately for the pumpkin, Cynthia was more than a simple maid. She was well versed in wind-based magic. Suddenly, the maid crouched, leaping into the air as a gust of wind trailed behind her and propelled her much faster than the pumpkin could hope to run. Cynthia landed gracefully a few feet in front of her, dusting off her dress lightly as she fixed the troublemaker with a cool glare.

"Return those sweets, or I'll use your head to make more."

"Whahaah!" The pumpkin chuckled. "Don't tempt me with a good time. If you want 'em, you're gonna have to come and get em." The pumpkin simply stood there, waiting for Cynthia to make a move.

~Marie~

"Awah?" Maire turned her head to the meek voice that had called out to her. Who had the audacity to speak with her? At least they used the proper tone when addressing one such as her, heh. "Oh, it's the cute kitten!" She was pleasantly surprised the kitten had followed her all the way out here. Oh, she'd be a really good little pet, wouldn't she? Marie giggled, bouncing over to Maoin. "You aren't just stopping to say hi to little ol me are you? Aww, that's sweet!~" The silver haired girl giggled again, noticing the kittens nervousness. Now that wouldn't do at all, would it?

"Hey hey, chin up, kitty." She reached out, placing a hand on Maoin's chin and pulling her face up. "No need to be nervous! I don't bite, hehe, unless I'm feeling extra playful anyways!" She gave Maoin a flirtatious smirk and grabbed one of the kittens hands with her own. "I can think of many better uses for fingers aside from playing with my own tail." She teased, deciding not to elaborate further and let the kittens imagination run with it. "Hey hey, since you're here..." She grabbed Maoin's hand with both of hers now. "I got a reservation at a pretty fabulous restaurant. You wanna come with It's kinda a family thing, but they probably won't mind if I bring a...pet~"

~Lyssa~

Hehe, with all the commotion going on she had to be on the lookout for the fun police! Yep, that was her job! Volunteered even. Hah, she was such a good people person for protecting everyone from the likes of their unadulterated evil! She may have gotten the fun beaten out of her last time, but this time was going to be different! She was gonna hug the shit out of Kozue and cuddle her to death! Yep, aggressive cuddling 101 - she was a master of it.

As skilled as she was, it didn't take long for her to find her target, either! She was looking for them, of course, but the hunter was about to become the prey! She wouldn't even know who she was being attacked by, thanks to the mask she borrowed from Ayumi. An odd blue grinning mask with two horns on its forehead.

"Heeere's the demon lord of cuddles!" Lyssa jumped towards Kozue's back, arms spread open intent on tackling her from behind.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"I guess, though, we're already in a familiar contract. So, if I lost would you have join whoever won?" Luna asked. Though she said it, she already knew that Sorcha wouldn't be that type of dragon. "Well, probably not. That's why you neer specified a prize. Right?" It made sense now, well, a little. "For me the honor of winning is enough. How exactly are you a prize for me then?"

Katherine's Dolls

"Wow. I.... I feel like I should say "Good work" but I don't think I can." The Stall-Owner was slightly surprised that didn't even really make it close. "So, uhhh, want to try again? Or you done?" The dolls looked ashamed, or what passed for it. One pulled out another coin and offered it to Meowka if she wanted to play again.

Eith the Shellagh

These rotten creatures were easy to kill, though there were quite a lot of them. They... They use to be human, right? Eith just hoped that Selvina wouldn't hold this against her for their deal. After all, she was protecting the humans right? Soon enough, there were a giant group of them on a wide road. No humans around them so of course, "You all will burn!" Eith yelled before breathing an intense flame on them. They turned to ash quite quickly. Proud of herself, she surveyed the area to see Miren kick a zombie. That really caught her attention quickly. "Miren!" Eith said as she rushed over to the rabbit, clawing a zombie or two in half along the way. "Miren, are you okay?"

Mugi

Mugi caught up to the two quickly. She may not have had the speed of them running, but her control of the ice gave her the ability to catch up. Since the Pumpkinhead was standing still, Mugi froze the girl's feet in ice after being severely irritated. "Oh, Cynthia, you have her now. Should we turn her into Pumpkin Pie? I've heard humans love it in the fall. The ice grew a bit up her legs. It hadn't really grown in strength, so the girl could still break out of it if she wanted though Mugi would likely relentlessly chase her down.

???? and ????

As Maoin and Marie stood there, they would hear a small girl yell out, "Kitty." Maoin would have a chance to look to see what the noise was, but barely a chance to dodge the incoming small girl with red hair. The moment crashed the both of them to the ground. "Uuuwhhaaa!" She cried as they fell. Sadly, Maoin more than likely took most of the fall. "Whhhaaa!!! Kitty! Are you alright?!" The girl yelled as she shook Maoin.

The Red Hair Girl

Not long after, a male voice spoke as he walked up to the site of the crime. "That's enough Solana. Can't you see you've inconvenienced her?" The male in almost silver armor said as he walked over and picked the girl off the cat and then offered his hand in assistance. "I apologize for my sister. She just loves cats and she saw your ears and ran off." If Maoin accepted, he pulled her up with a firm grip before looking sternly at Solana. "Now, apologize, Solana."

The Blonde Male

Solana looked a bit defiant but soon relented a couple of seconds after looking the male in the eyes. "Alright Percy..." She looked at Maoin and tossed her hands behind her back nervously, "I-I'm sorry."

Kozue Komichi

Kozue had walked around the festival hoping to get a lead on Ayumi and what she stole. This was a matter of pride for her now, and she wouldn't stop unless something came up about the White Fox's cure. That said. . . She was being attack!? A... "Demon Lord of Adorableness?" No, she recognized the voice. The aura as well. It was a demon after all. "Lyssa was it? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Kozue asked after the two of them hit the floor. For now she'd try to convince Lyssa to stop... And maybe get information out about the book and Ayumi. "Where is Ayumi, and the book you two stole? Does that have anything to do with the ruckus I hear in the distance?"

[Roleplayer001]

Maoin was both happy and apprehensive as the girl in front of her began to respond. "Oh, it's the cute kitten!" The girl giggled a bit and the cat couldn't resist the urge to turn her head away just a bit as Marie restated her previous feelings. "You aren't just stopping to say hi to little ol me are you? Aww, that's sweet!~" The cat hadn't done this before and wasn't even sure how to respond to that, so she simply remained silent and ...

As her chin was turned up by the other girl's hands though she couldn't look away and simply blushed more heavily in silence as the girl began to spew out more innuendos about how they'd be playing together and grabbing her hands ... hands ... and ... pet ... It took a couple of seconds for the kitten to gather herself as the other girl finished an started to begin to nod-

Suddenly her own hands were forced away from the announcers as the cat suddenly heard 'KITTY' before being tackled to the ground by some unseen force. Maoin let out an umph as she recovered, looking on as 'Solana' was pulled off by a man who was now extending a hand to help her up - which she accepted gratefully as she took a look at the red-haired girl and then him in order to thank-

- h-he was in armor, as if he was a knight and his crest was ... a L-LIGHTSWORD? Percy? Maoin immediately took a respectful step back and gave a low curtsy before returning to her original position. "N-no my lord I should have been more aware of my surroundings." She took a look over to the younger girl. Normally she'd be a bit more annoyed but if she was the knight's charge ... "Thank you Lord Lightsword. Like Lady Luna your generosity is extreme." Was Lord Percy a ... brother? Cousin?

Either way she didn't want to give the impression that she had been bothered because of it.

Then Maoin turned towards the smaller girl before lowering herself down on her knees to make her head more easily reached. "Lady Solana, correct? It's fine my lady, just be more gentle alright?" As if to illistrate what she was inviting the girl for, she twitched one of her ears and wagged her tail around to make it apparent. She gave Marie an apologetic look (and certainly wouldn't mind receiving pets from her), but she couldn't allow any noble of the Lightsword house to feel bad on her behalf. Not after all they've done and after all Lady Lightsword had done either.

Fia followed Gwynn's instructions as the lake in front of her was covered - and she slid to a stop after a second and rotated slightly due to the angle of her front foot. For a couple of seconds she just sat there, but then she began to giggle a bit as she started going forward a bit more and then turned towards Ritsa and gave her a mischievous grin before giving her a little shove and then trying to race off in the opposite direction as quickly as she could manage.

Turn her first foot, let herself curve away, then go forward like that.

Of course, Ritsa would probably catch her - she didn't exactly have a plan when that happened aside from continuing to give her a teasing smile.

Meowka simply turned up her nose and muttered a single word with conviction to the annoying little cretin that ran the pointless game stall. "Nope." With a wave of her hand she began to walk away and after a couple of minutes looked over her shoulder. "Massages - Pampering - Spa." The cat was giving out keywords to the dolls so that they could possibly understand what she was trying to convey better and possibly find her the actually appropriate stall to make sure she could relax in a heavenly state.

A few tents around her had signs but even the pictures were difficult to comprehend. She knew places with frying pans cooked things and didn't just sell cookware ... but aside from that she was still a little lost.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Miren~

"Wah! Eith!" Miren almost socked Eith in the jaw out of sheer reflex. "Y-you startled meeeee. Don't sneak up on me in a situation like this." Not that Eith had likely tried, but Miren was already easily startled as it was and as used to situations like this as she was she still wasn't comfortable in times like this. "I-I'm fine though! I c-can handle myself, a-as long as e-erm M-my little bunny heart can take it." Miren replied, holding a hand to her chest.

It was then a hollow wail could be heard, and the shuffling of more feet.

"E-eh?" Miren turned her head towards the sound of the shuffling - bones, reanimated

"Haaaving fun yet lovelies?" The voice of the self proclaimed 'Lucifer' echoed from atop a building where she was holding a bucket shaped like a pumpkin that was full of various sweets.

~Gwynn & Ritsa~

"Wah-!" Ritsa was about as coordinated as a drunk seal, and fell over almost instantly. "C-coooold!" Ritsa didn't like the cold - though it seemed Fia didn't entirely remember that so much. Thankfully, at least the Hydra didn't seem too bothered by it. She fell on her stomach, and slid across the ice. Gwynn simply laughed in the distance as she watched the girls play. The young Hydra was much more unconventionally skilled than Fia had given her credit for however. As soon as she hit the ice, strong arms dug into the ice, immediately redirecting her momentum right towards where Fia was sliding off too. Angling the soles of her feet on the ice, she leaped like a fish out of water, her momentum carrying her directly into Fia's back.

~Sorcha~

"Well, if someone else won..." Sorcha giggled. "I'd do this for them!~" Suddenly, Sorcha wrapped Luna in a hug once more...and pressed a kiss right onto her lips. It lasted only a few seconds before the dragon released Luna and she stepped back with a grin. "Isn't the affection of a beautiful maiden like myself enough, hmm?~" She giggled once she had done so. It seemed like at least, this was explanation enough for Sorcha.

~Cynthia~

"I agree." Cynthia swiftly pulled her rapier out of her dress - wherever she usually kept it in her dress, or how. In her left hand was a series of sharpened knives perfectly suited to throwing. "Pumpkin pie is delicious this time of season."

"Ah-" The pumpkin head looked down at her feet, seeing ice growing up her legs. Likely as a result of the Yuki Onna. Well, that just wouldn't do at all, would it? "Sooooory frosty butt. Getting cold feet isn't like me, heh!" Before Mugi or Cynhtia could appropriately react, the pumpkin head easily broke out of the ice shackles easily enough by jumping upwards with enough force to shatter the ice, but before she could get very far a there was a satisfying thunk as a knife that had been throw embedded itself right in the pumpkins head.

"Wah!" The impact had been thrown with the force of wind, sending the pumpkinheads trajectory off, sending her tumbling back to the ground near the Yuki Onna.

"When first making pumpkin pie...you have to cut out its guts, yes?"

"Ouch, hey, that almost actually hit me." The pumpkin head pulled the knife out of its orange colored head. "Guess I'll have to return the favor, heh!" She laughed, jumping backwards and throwing a number of throwing stars at Mugi.

~Marie~

"W-ah! Kitten!" Marie shouted in surprise as a little heathen of a child ran into Maoin. Not that she particularly cared in the end but at the moment - Maoin was hers. Rather the kitten even realized that or not. Still, she couldn't just tell them to get lost. No no, that'd appear bad. Besides, she was in public...it'd be very, very bad to cause a scene here.

"Waaah? No harm done, my pet here is a bit tougher than that." Marie giggled. "We're just on our way to a dinner though! And, well, erm, my mom would be quite displeased if we were even a tiny bit late. Not that it matters much." She giggled again. "I arrive precisely when I mean to. Not before or after." She gave Percy and Solana a bright grin. "Just...prefer not to get grounded or something, heh." Marie turned to Maoin, reaching up and giving her a pat on the head. "We should get going, pet."

~Lyssa~

"Wahaha, I win! Resistance is now futile! Cuddles will happen!" Seemingly ignoring Kozue's questions, the demon wrapped her arms around Kozue's waist, holding her tightly and attempting to prevent her from using her arms. "You shall now be cuddled until you surrender!~" She proceeded to nuzzle Kozue's cheek with her own for a few seconds before continuing. "Ah! I'm not Lyssa. I'm totally terrifying demon lord! And I have no idea what you're talking about!"

~Fox~

Seems like the festival was fully underway. For the most part, she had behaved herself. She had promised that funny little human she would, at least. Well, aside from swindling a human out of some squid and sake. It was all fair of course - he agreed to it in the end. When she felt the veil rip between this world and the underworld - she could feel it as plain as day. As deep of a connection she had to it, it was only natural that she'd feel it. She could feel a surge of power, even from having it ripped open! Heh, how fortuitous. She wondered what Ayumi was up to? Probably making a fun nuisance of herself.

The fox would be lying if she said she had no interest or care for that human in particular.

"Ah...it's the Headmistress' pet." The fox suddenly commented as she nearly walked right into Katherine. "And...she's with...a child? Heh, wow...you're just as bad as she is!" The fox started laughing at the sight of the pale girl with the mage. The girl in question, was about four foot six with long blue hair and pointed ears. Her skin was completely white - and she was dressed in a very familiar dress belonging to a certain uppity water spirit.

"Hush you corrupt spirit! I am not a child! I am the grand undine of the lake and I will suffer no disrespect you mongrel!" The child like voice with which she spoke with made the threats and words a lot less intimidating causing the fox to laugh.

"Ahaha, wow! A god you say? Wow, you must be a perverted god to be hanging out with this slut!"

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"Do thi--!!" Luna said before being cut-off by Sorcha hugging and then kissing her. She didn't resist... Well, much. Obligatory struggles really. When she was released, Luna looked to the side. She was slightly embarrassed. She enj-- No! That's not what it was. She was... Entertained by the dragons affection! Yes. "Affection? This is a bit... But... Either way, you wouldn't do that to some random someone would you?" Luna asked, turning to leave though mostly to hide her face.

Katherine's Dolls

"Hey, "slut" seems a bit harsh. That said, Celine's typically a lot bigger than this. I just... Sucked her dry?" It wasn't especially untrue. "I'm a bit surprised you know who I am though, 'Sly' considering we've never met before." She didn't seem to especially care about the insult

Katherine's Dolls

The stall owner looked at Meowka slightly annoyed. The dolls. . . Well, they felt the same way, though whether it was Katherine or them was up for dispute. Either way, the dolls handed the coin to the stall owner anyway and walked away. Well fine. If this cat was going to be like this... If she wanted a massage, she'd get a massage. And there was quite the specialist in "massages" on campus. The dolls lead the cat over to a random tent with dim, yet relaxing lighting inside. A couple of dolls went in first and came out a couple of minutes later opening the tent flaps to allow Meowka in... Inside, she found an almost rediculously large man with quite the muscle and a thing to lay on. "Welcome! Welcome! First customer in a while." Two of the dolls imitated someone getting a massage. "They already paid up, so I'll get to my massage if you're ready!" He... Didn't look or sound like he knew how to hold back.

Eith the Shellagh

Eith nodded at Miren's conviction or what could be considered conviction. Then a wail that hurt the Shellagh's ears... Not to mention that annoying demon that reminded Eith of someone... Annoyingly so... "Get rid of these disgusting creatures!" Eith demanded, ready to climb the building to get up to the woman with the bucket.

Mugi

A cool heavy wind blew the stars off track making them miss the Yuki Onna. She then tried freezing the Ninja's feet again. Her eyes looked sort of... Well, really angry. "Now then. If you don't give it back, those things growing on your feet are the least of your concerns." A couple spears of ice started to appear in front of Mugi. Slowly, but surely. "I don't want to possibly hurt My Dear's cooking, so I'd prefer if you be a good little girl and just hand them back."

Percival Lightsword and Solana Lightsword

Solana looked happy she was forgiven. Though Percy's eyes lit up as Maoin recognized his heraldry. "Oh my, Percival or Percy is fine enough! That said, a friend of Luna's? I've not the chance to see her yet. I'd have you tell me how she is." It took a little for Percy to really understand what Marie had said though. "Oh, my apologies. I let my emotions get the best of me. Though, are you two in a... What was it?" Percy said, looking to Solana.

She sighed and answered. "It's a familiar contract." She looked to have answered this plenty of times before.

[ccolor=yellow]"Yes, that! If Miss... Well, my apologies I've not your name yet... Miss Cat... If she knows my dear sister, would you be friends with her as well Miss?"[/color] He asked Marie with curiosity in his eyes. Oddly, Solana looked the same way. They both were greatly interested in the life of their sister though they might just be curious how life in a magic academy was like. Though Percy relented, "Oh, but if you need to leave, I understand. I've just not seen Lunalel in a while."

"I've... Well, not met her. But I heard she's strong and brave like Percy!"

Kozue Komichi

Kozue made doubly sure to keep her arms free. The demon was getting annoyingly close. "If you've no answers for me, I've no need for you now." She started to wrench the demon girl off but. . . Well, she was a lot stronger than expected. "I care little for what you do so long as you don't harm others, but Ayumi must pay the price for stealing." There were many ways she'd make a normal brother or sister be punished, but many wouldn't work on Ayumi. She was undisciplined and a masochist. A horrid combination. "Lyssa, now, I'm willing to forgive you as I've punished you already... But if you keep this up, I cannot promise you'll like the result."

[Roleplayer001]

Maoin simply enjoyed the pettings she received from Marie as she listened to the conversation although stood up since Solana hadn't taken her up on the offer of petting her - which made the kitten a little sad. Was she trying to act reserved now?

"Sir Percival it is simply Maoin. I apologize for having you at a disadvantage." The kitten curtsied politely. "No, I'm not a familiar right now. I belong to Lady Sorcha - Lady Lightsword's dragon familiar." The cat gave a quick look towards Marie. "I'm just with her because ..."

Maoin blushed with great intensity for two reasons. The first one is because she didn't want to say out loud that because her mistress was likely enjoying her alone time with Lady Lightsword a bit too much. The second reason though was ... well ... what was she supposed to say, because she thought the girl was cute and wanted someone to spend the night with and that she was recommended to do so by her owner?

The cat simply hoped that Marie would explain things in a suitable manner.

W-wait how did - slam. As Ritsa somehow launched herself the phoenix wasn't in control enough to redirect the way she was going that quickly and instead managed only to remain vertical for half a second before the two of them simply went sprawling across the ice in a bundle as they rolled over it together. The surface was hard and the phoenix got a few scrapes from it but luckily for both of them they healed quickly.

Eventually though Ritsa would find herself on top as the pair of them struggled slightly in their little play fight that was going on. The phoenix simply looked to the right and flushed her face slightly as she decided to respond. "... you win, alright ...?" Fia's voice was more quiet as usual, although she didn't really seem to upset about Ritsa's sneak attack or victory.

Meowka was honestly a little surprised that the dolls actually knew what she wanted! The prowler of the night gave the little servants a smile and even rubbed her hand against one of their cheeks affectionately as she looked towards the large man.

Those muscles meant he would have endurance, right? The ability to make her feel great for hours! Meowka simply imagined the bliss that she would feel as she laid there and let the big guy do his work on her. The cat hopped on to the table, turned in a circle once, then laid down on it and stretched slightly as she waited for the action to begin as she gave the guy a big smile before closing her eyes as if prepared to take a nap.

Was she supposed to say anything? "Do yhu have any cats?" Truthfully the prowler of the night was always curious about who kept her sort around normally. Quite frankly they were crazy but most of them made good servants.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Sorcha~

"Weeeel....if I say yes do I get in trouble?" The dragon grinned. "I was the grand prize after all. I can't just change it depending on the victor~" Sorcha walked behind Luna, wearing an impish grin. "...wooooould that make you jealous?~" Of course she was hoping for obvious jealousy or a confession there. That was the entire reason she'd do it.

~Miren~

"Eh? They're not mine." The demon replied with a dismissive shrug, munching on a cake of some sort. "I would never employ such revolting things. They just sort of crawled out behind me." The demon seemed utterly unconcerned with the current goings on. If anything, she seemed completely amused by the situation.

"E-eith!" One of the bag of bones had shambled silently up behind Eith, and the rabbit reacted instinctively. She gave the bag of bones a swift kick, sending it stumbling backwards but not defeated at all.

"Heh, have fun darlings. I suppose I could help you, but I don't like getting my hands dirty with this worlds filth."

~Gwynn & Ritsa~

Gwynn laughed as she watched the two of them played. The blond skated over to them, helping to pick the both of them up before grinning and continuing. "Allllright you two. Lets have a race!" Gwynn didn't wait for confirmation or any sort of agreement before dashing off in a direction. This was quickly followed by Ritsa who gave Fia a bright grin and light poke before dashing off after Gwynn.

~Cynthia~

"Ah...sorry, you mean these delicious things?" She wouldn't be having her feet frozen so easily. The pumpkin quickly moved from the spot, balancing on a nearby street post with her impeccable agility. The pumpkin head proceeded to shove one of the pastries into its ghoulish grin. "Heh, these are delicious!" She didn't seem entirely too concerned with the spears of ice formed by Mugi. The pumpkin balanced the box of sweets in one hand. "Heh, it'd be a shame if someone ate all of them!~"

A couple of knives embedded themselves in the post she was sitting on, causing her to quickly and deftly move, landing on a nearby table that had just recently been occupied.

"Woow, and I was giving you a compliment. Ruuuude~" Cynthia said nothing, but pulled back the rapier she was holding and gathering mana at the end of it. In one swift, thrusting motion she thrust the rapier forward, a strong shockwave of wind rushing towards the table and the pumpkin head causing her to have to dodge once again.

"Ahhah...she's not pulling any punches are ya?" NotAyumi tossed a few more throwing stars at the two of them.

~Marie~

"Ah, we're going on a date." Marie giggled. "Sorta. It's more of a formal thing that my mom's making me go to at the headmistress' villa. Probably going to be boring and lots of stuffy people doing nothing but arguing. Pet here wanted to tag along, so...here we are!~" Marie smiled, holding her hands behind her back in a fairly cutesy manner as she continued. "And eh, can't say I know Luna personally - but I know her familiar thanks to my mom. They're over at the jousting tournament near the lake if you wanna go see them." Marie suggested. "You just missed it though! Luna was great. She won and is probably still over there." Ugh, talking with these people were getting somewhat annoying. She had places to be and these leeches were trying her patience.

Still though, put on a smile - fake it, at least. Just like dad taught her before he died.

"Ah, uhm, speaking of the party we really should be going."

~Lyssa~

"The demon of cuddles shall never be defeated~!" Before Kozue could appropriately react, the demon slammed her forehead right into Kozues. As she was likely at least a little bit stunned, the demon stood, bouncing back and taking a defensive stance. "Hey hey, lets have a friendly match, alright?" She giggled brightly. "My daddy didn't raise no weak little ox!~"

~Fox~

"No, I think slut is the perfect word for you, filth." Celine harrumphed. "Or need I remind you what you just did to me." The undine glared up at the taller woman, but it only resulted in a cute glare.

"Ah. Whoops~" The fox giggled ignoring Celine. "Lets just say that thing talked about you a lot when she used to visit a lonely little fox." The fox cast a glance over towards Celine. "Didn't mention that you liked little kids though. Such a pervert, heh. Almost as bad as my master who likes sleeping with me in fox form." Well, that technically wasn't false but it wasn't quite the truth either. "So what are you doing out here? Up to no good?"

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

Luna was blushing pretty nicely. She didn't need to look at it to tell, so she just hid her face to the best of her abilities. "J-jealous? Nonesense. W-what reason could I have to be jealous? It's not like we're married or anything." Why was this dragon saying things like these now? It was making Luna have a difficult time responding calmly. "Are you trying to make me jealous?"

Katherine

Katherine looked down to Celine and asked, "Oh yes, who was the one that said they couldn't ever be submissive to me? As I recall, a currently little Undine said that once and then begged..." She trailed off leaving a bit to interpretation. The Puppeteer then looked back to the Fox. "First off, I'm not like Livia. This issue with Celine is different and I do hope you understand that. Someone had to show this uppity Undine her place." She teased Celine a bit. "Other than that I was taking her back to my room to rest since she's... Well, she's pretty tired. I need to meet back up with the cat since I promised her I'd accompany her today."

Katherine started to frown though. It's not like she hadn't noticed it before from her dolls, but it was becoming a more serious issue than she had thought. "Though that might have to wait a bit. Ayumi and Lyssa made a grand mess. Thought that mutt would be able to handle it, but there's more than anticipated... Well, if you want to continue talking foxy girl, continue walking with me. I don't mind the company." Katherine said as she started walking to her place.

Katherine's Dolls

The muscular man prepared. A little stretching to get the muscles loose so he decided to answer her question. "Cats? Nope, got two dogs though. I'm a hunter back home so they help with that." After his stretching, her put his hands on Meowka's back. "Alright then, Ma always said I give the best back massages so be prepared for a good un'." The man started off fairly gentle to get the scope of the cat's back and then... Well, it got worse. More painful that is. Not gradually either, rather quickly. If Meowka complained or cried in pain, the man simply said. "If it hurts, it just means it's getting the knots out! You won't regret it!" He was also strong enough to disallow the cat from simply leaving.

Eith the Shellagh

Eith jumped on the creature Miren kicked and rapidly tore it apart. It shouldn't be a bother now. Eith was unsure of what to do though. This place was a mess and would likely harm people if not gotten under control. That, she had no idea how to stop the monsters from coming. Oh! There was a really smart someone right here. She jumped up and over to Miren. "Miren, what should we do? Humans will get hurt, we can't leave it like this."

Mugi

Mugi had enough. No more talk. This one didn't seem to understand a vengeful Yuki-Onna. So she fired her Ice Lances at Ayumi before quickly reforming them and firing again. She might as well have had an angry fire in her eye with how irate she was. As the throwing stars flew at her, she merely blocked with a small wall of ice before dropping it to fire more ice lances.

Percival Lightsword and Solana Lightsword

Percival relented, "Ahh, I see. I'd love to talk to Miss Maoin more, but if you've the need to leave I understand." He seemed slightly apologetic though not his companion.

Solana spoke up, "But I want to pet the kitty!" She finally said. She'd been holding back greatly, but well, she was still young and her patience was through. She opened and closed her hands, "She looks soft and cuddly and her ears are cute." The way she said it at Maoin seemed almost a plea. She also mostly ignored Marie. As if she cared if the girl had a party.

"Stop being rude Solana." Percy said calmly. [color=yellow]"It's Miss Maoin's choice with what to do. We let others choose their futures."[/b] He added, patting the young girl on the head.

"I'm sorry. She's just really cute." The girl said, pouting a little bit at Percy's lecture.

"Sorry about her. Do what you need to do, Miss Maoin."

Kozue Komichi

Kozue was a little surprised at Lyssa's offer of a spar. She wasn't sure how much the girl knew about fighting, but she was fairly strong. There was no way she was better than the strongest Monk at the Temple. She stood up, "Very well. If you think you can take me, let us." She took a few breaths, balancing herself before taking a combat stance. "I'm ready when you are."

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Sorcha~

"Annnd if I was?" The dragon replied with a grin. "And if you ask why, I am going to say it is because you're cute when you're jealous." The dragon laughed lightly. She wasn't going to say the actual reason for now though...no, she couldn't. This was fine after all. Their current relationship was enough for the dragon.

...perhaps she was just getting cynical and a little old and cranky, heh.

"And you are totally jealous. I'm a dragon. I can smell jealousy from a continent away."

~Miren~

"Ah-ah uhm!" Right, right, she should easily be able to come up with a solution like this, right? "W-well we're gonna need to find where they're coming from." She replied to Eith. It should be easy enough to find it, right? It would probably be best to find it quickly as well. If they didn't something that was a bit more dangerous than a simple undead might crawl out. "We'd have to close it, b-but I wouldn't know how to go about finding it." She looked over to the demon who was still stuffing her face with a variety of different sweets.

"U-uhm hey!" Miren called out to her.

"Yessss, little rabbit?"

"Uhm uhm, w-where is the portal at?"

"Ah? Not too far from here. Small little house that no one lives in any more. I think that ninja uses it as a base of sorts or something. Has some...fun stuff there heh!" Miren frowned, but that was likely all the information she was going to be getting out of the demon. Miren turned her attention back to Eith. She knew at least what they could do - she had some stuff in her store that could help with this sort of thing. It wouldn't be her first time sealing some sort of portal to the underworld.

"I-if we can get back to my store I-I might have things there we can use to stop this."

~Cynthia~

Ayumi easily dodged the ice lances with a display of impressive acrobatics. Granted, she had to make sure not to spill the goods so it was a tiny bit more difficult for her too, but she managed in the end. The pumpkinhead landed on both feet, tossing the box of sweets into the air as she landed near Mugi. "Hey frosty butt!~ Gonna try harder than that to catch meeeee!~" She bounced again, her impressive feats of human physicality carried her on top of a nearby building.

Cynthia easily avoided the stars, a gust of wind easily throwing and knocking them off course. The maid cast a glance over to Mugi.

"...she's quite nimble." She spoke quietly, posing a silent question on how she wanted to corner this ninja.

~Marie~

Gah.

This.

Solana girl was ignoring her, wasn't she? That was one of the most offensive things one could do to Marie. The silver haired girl kept a smile up, however as the girl spoke about wanting to pet Maoin. Gah, well, the kitten was cute, yes, but her? She was ten times cuter and ten times more attractive than some pet. She was especially ten times cuter than this child name 'Solana'

"Sorry," Marie replied apologetically. "But we really should be going. Come on, pet!~" Marie motioned for Moain to follow her.

~Lyssa~

"Hehe~" Lyssa giggled before taking action immediately. She slowly circled Kozue, doing her best to keep calm. Just a friendly sparring match, right? Yes, that's all this was. A harmless prank and a sparring match. Kozue was fun, anyways! With those thoughts in mind, Lyssa quickly closed the distance between her and the monk. The masked 'Demon lord of adorableness' began her assault. Swiftly, the demon aimed a powerful blow right towards Kozue's midsection.

~Fox~

"Oh sure, sure, nothing alike at all." The fox chuckled, following after Katherine. "Yeah, Ayumi informed me of her little plans, heh. It'd have been fun to have a little fun myself, but I promised I'd be a good little foxy." She sighed, dismissively shrugging. Really, she was a bit sad she couldn't get involved, but well she told the human she wouldn't. At least, not directly involved anyways, heh.

"Bleh, I am not sure what is going on." Celine replied with a scoff. "But this place reeks of foul magic."

"Heh, someone opened a portal to the underworld to summon something for giggles."

"...I should not be surprised at what that woman would allow to be done, should I?" Celine harrumphed, turning her head towards Katherine. Well, whatever. Wasn't her problem. If the humans wanted demons to overrun them she'd watch them burn gladly. "Human. I am tired. Carry me."

[Roleplayer001]

Maoin smiled as Marie told them about where Lady Lightsword was at earlier although frowned slightly as she mentioned they needed to get going. She'd love to talk to the Lightswords more of course, but she came out her to talk with Marie and they'd probably enjoy talking with their family members more. Although Lady Solana appeared to really like her and it broke her heart just a little to have to raise up off her knees and give her an apologetic smile before bowing to them. "Yes Lord Percival and Lady Solana, I must get going. Maybe we'll see each other and we can talk then, Lady Solana?"

Still though Maoin's eyes went over to Marie's hand motion and she gave off a smile and felt her heart flutter just slightly as she jumped after the beckoning hand and walked next to Marie until she caught up and immediately felt her face flush and look downwards as she remembered their previous conversation. She-she had said a date, right? And Lady Sorcha said she could spend the day with her so ...

... the kitten's tail went back and forth happily as she wondered with curiosity where the night was going. "... You said the headmistress' villa, right? Do I ... Do I need to change?" Now that she thought about it she perhaps shouldn't show up in servants garb to a formal event if she wasn't supposed to be working there.

Meowka frowned slightly as the man mentioned dogs, although smiled as he massaged her in a relaxing manner and even arched her back into it. Oh this was divi-

The cat's tail immediately shot straight into the air as she felt one of the hands press hard into her shoulderblade letting out a telltale unhappy mewl followed by a hostile hiss as he continued to press his hands into her back. "W-what are you doing?! Gen- ahh!" She tried to pull away from the large man, but it was far too easy for the guy who could crush her to keep her there despite her struggles. The cat swore she could feel her bones bending just a little as she began to fight back against him. It didn't seem that he was going to stop with any amount of polite struggling.

Fine.

The cat twisted her body and clawed at the man's arm to make her verbal statement very clear. "Stop!"

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"C-cute?! Jealous?! Nonesense! I'm no-- I mean--" Luna couldn't think straight she needed to change the subject. An escape from this nightmare of a festival of embarrassment. "Let's ju-just go eat and then go get ready for the dance. That's not too far away now." The duo left the room Sorcha had but then Luna turned to her dragon companion. "That said, did you send Maoin off? She said she'd help get ready for the dance."

Katherine

"Well, it'll be faster than this I suppose." Katherine said as she swooped the Undine up in her arms. "We'll drop you off so you can rest after that and I'll go deal with this issue quickly. It looks like a certain mutt and adorable bunny have a plan. I'll give them a bit of backup so they can do what they need." This was annoying to deal with on the day of the festival... Well, whatever, as long as the dance was fine later then it was worth it.

Katherine's Dolls

The man was slightly shocked but dodged her swipe and manhandled her back around. "You just have a little bit left, calm down." He held her hands as he did the last bit around her shoulders. It was a bit lighter than before, still a little painful but it was likely bearable. When he was finished, he released her hands and stepped back. "There, you should now feel light as a feather." He said as Meowka was free to do what she wanted to now. Though, to be fair, she'd likely feel as he described. As the pain subsided, she'd feel fairly... Light, more limber perhaps.

Eith the Shellagh

"Fine, but it's hard to just leave this place like this." Eith said, looking at Miren. Though, to her slight shock, a troop of dolls walled down the road. They seemed to be armed with Halberds of some sort and formed a line. It wasn't just here, but other places in the area as well. Two of the dolls walked up to Eith and Miren and saluted. They seemed to imply the have the area under control. Eith wasn't sure of what to think until a couple of dolls quickly cut down a zombie that walked their way. "Let's go?" Eith question as she picked Miren up in her arms and ran quickly to the bunny's shop. It didn't take too long to arrive. "Alright, Miren. What do you need?"

Mugi

The Yuki-Onna saw Ayumi forget the basket of treats after she threw it in the air. Luckily, Mugi was quick enough to grab it before it fell on the ground. "Dearest, there's no reason to continue now, for we have received the grail!" Mugi said, seems she learned something of the tale of the Holy Grail and wanted to quote it. "We can leave her be now. Though, if she shows her face or mask anywhere near these again... She'll not be safe later." Mugi seemed like she meant it too.

Percival Lightsword and Solana Lightsword

Solana seemed as if she were going to cry but held back whatever and looked the other way, pouting. Percy patted the girl on the head and suggested something. "Come on Solana, they said Luna's back towards the thing over here. Perhaps we'll see her if we walk over this way."

"Fine..." Was the small response the girl gave as she grabbed at Percy's hand. She looked a little down, but that's how it was with little kids that didn't get their way. Percy on the other hand had a bad feeling from that Marie girl, though that mostly stemmed from the way she called Maoin "pet" like that. Perhaps it was just the way their family was, but that sort of possession seemed... Unhealthy. If they just met then... Well... Perhaps it was something to ask Luna when they met again.

Kozue Komichi

Kozue watched Lyssa make her way around, moving carefully to make the first strike. The Monk adopted an open palm form. As Lyssa threw her punch, Kozue grabbed the girl by the wrist with one hand and pulled it past her body, striking the demon's shoulder with her other from which she gave Lyssa a bit of momentum in the direction behind herself to back off and give a bit of distance. "I can tell you have strength. But do you have the skill to back it up?" She was holding back slightly, but mostly to get Lyssa a chance to warm up. It'd be more interesting if the two would go at it at full capacity.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Sorcha~

The dragon simply laughed at Luna's embarrassment, though she didn't press the teasing more. Food sounded good anyways, and she did need to get ready for the dance. No need to wait around on that!

"I sent Maoin off with a friend." The dragon smiled. "No need to worry about her, Luna. We have tonight allll to ourselves." Regardless though, the dragon decided to at least get moving. "Now come on! I'm sure the people would love to meet the champion who bested them in the match. You can even tell them all about your prize! I'm sure they'd love to know." Sorcha laughed, energetically leading the way towards the bar that she had reserved for the entire party.

~Miren~

"E-eh!? I can walk on my own!" Miren shouted as she was lifted by Eith. She had good legs! She had very good legs for doing this exact type of thing. Not that she didn't mind the assistance but it sort of startled her little bunny hear to so suddenly be picked up. Still, at least they got back to her shop quickly enough and as soon as they did Miren hopped out of Eith's arms. Okay okay, what did she need?

"E-erm, okay, we need something to stabilize the tear between here and the underworld." Miren said, quickly moving over to some of her personal effects in the store. It was simple enough to close a portal to the underworld. You needed something to mend the tear. it was easy enough if you were a mage. You could just do it with magic, but she wasn't a mage so she had to get a little creative. You also needed something to clean up any remaining magic lingering in the area - to nullify it or it might have residual effects on the area.

"I should have something around here...A-ah!" Miren turned her head towards Eith. "M-make sure nothing tries to get in. I need to find a few things around here."

~Cynthia~

So she had dropped them.

"A...ah?" The pumpkinhead looked at her now empty hands, and then towards the box of pastries the Yuki-Onna was now carrying. "Aw, whoops." She giggled. "Looks like I'm gonna get in trouble later." She didn't seem particularly disturbed by that fact though. She wasn't giving up so easily though. Ayumi jumped off the building, landing on the ground not far away from the two of them before speeding towards Mugi.

"Sorry frosty butt, but these are mine~" She placed one hand on the box, before sending a swift kick right to the Yuki-Onna's shins. Cynthia sent a powerful gust of wind towards the Pumpkinhead, sending the ninja off balance and knocking her over, but also sending the sweets fumbling back into the air as Ayumi lost her grip on them.

~Marie~

"Change? No, pet!" Marie giggled. "The servants garb suits you. It's adorable on you, actually." The silver haired girl replied, walking confidently in front of the kitten as she led the way towards the Villa. "Couldn't imagine you wearing anything else!" Marie grinned, starting to hum an upbeat tune to herself. She was being truthful, of course. The kitten was adorable - and she was very servile seeming in nature. That was her favorite kind of person - one who knew their place. Marie continued walking, leading the kitten through the streets easily enough until they finally arrived at the headmistress' Villa.

"Here we aaare! My mom should probably be here soon enough! I'll introduce you to her." Marie stood in front of the door, giving the kitten a somewhat expectant look.

~Lyssa~

"Wa~" Lyssa stumbled slightly as she was pulled by Kozue, a swift, sharp jab to the back of her shoulder sending her stumbling forward. She quickly righted herself, easily turning back around and facing the priestess of the temple. "Hehe, you're pretty good yourself!" Lyssa giggled. Well, if she wasn't going to fall for such simple tricks...time to get a little fancy. The demon dashed towards Kozue - instead of striking though, she however jumped over the priestess entirely in an impressive display of acrobatics, landing behind her and swiftly turning, sending a swift, hard kick to her back.

~Fox~

"Wa-" Celine gave a small start as she was picked up by Katheirne. Well, not that she minded since that was exactly what she had asked for, but still. "Yes, carry me human." She smugly replied. "Carry your god like the good little thing and maybe I'll bring you a blessing." Well, her attitude hadn't changed at all at least.

"Well, I have no interest in helping with this." The fox dismissively shrugged. "The only one I've any responsibility for is that fool of a mage. So you have fun playing hero while I go drink and eat some noodles." With nothing more to say or no more interest in the happenings going on, the fox left swiftly.

[Roleplayer001]

There was a slight voice that was bothered by what Marie said, but a much louder voice made the kitten smile and blush slightly. It wasn't the first time that she had been called it, but being called adorable could never be a bad thing! "T-thanks Marie!" At least Lady Sorcha had good taste then.

The cat allowed Marie to walk slightly ahead of her until they arrived at which point Marie paused in front of the door. For a couple of seconds the cat hesitated before opening the door for her. "After you miss?" She seemed a little confused, but maybe the woman at least wanted her to try if they were going to spend the night together? That obviously was it, right?

As they entered the place though it would become rather clear though that Maoin was a little embarrassed by her chest as she covered it with one of her arms. At least it was c-cute, right?

There were only a few times in her life Meowka had been reduced though to being in tears - this was one of them. She wasn't meant to go through and ordeal like that and being unable to flee from it simply made the entire situation worse. Her body felt like it was floating - not an unpleasant feeling, but one that wasn't worth what she just went through.

Wordlessly the cat left the tent and walked outside of it not even bothering to look at the traitorous dolls as she went to go find a bench to sit down on it as she wordlessly flopped her tail into her lap and just held it for a bit.

She was a prowler of the night, right? How could she not have managed to escape? Despite attempts to appear normal it was rather apparent that the girl was upset with both herself and the dolls as she blatantly chose to refuse to look at them. And yes, she was angry at her mistress as well. She knew the woman was somehow involved in this, and it didn't make her any happier to know that.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"Is that so?" Luna asked, seeming slightly disappointed. It's not that she didn't want to spend time with Sorcha or anything like that. She was just expecting Maoin to be there. After all, she wanted Luna to wear the dress... Right? Well, it didn't seem to matter now. "Well, I hope she enjoys her time with her friend." Luna said as she followed. This was no time to be sad, it was time to relax a bit! That is, until the dance. Might as well play along for now. "Just lead the way, Sorcha."

Katherine's Dolls

The dolls just looked at her. Well, she asked for a massage. She didn't specify and the dolls here were mostly on "Figure it out" so they found the closest one. They might have known he was a bit rough and they might have know she wouldn't enjoy the treatment so much, but that was what she go for treating them like nothing but little servant boys and girls... Right? The cat was suppose to be on the same level as them, so where did she get this high and mighty attitude from? They just stood there with crossed arms looking at the cat.

Eith the Shellagh

"Those dolls seem to have that under control. Probably." Eith said as she looked towards the door. Nothing seemed to come in. Rather, was there a worry about that? Well, it was safe enough to keep an eye probably. "Let's be quick though. The less time we give, the less worries there will be."

Mugi

As she felt the kick to her shins, Mugi stumbled back and let go of the sweets regrettably. As she came through the pain, she got intensely angry. Not only did she ignore the warning, but she also tried to steal the damned things again. She found little to do in her head aside freeze the Pumpkinhead in place. Rather than the last two times, the freeze this time around was quite rapid. Ice wrapped around the girl so very rapidly and would be quite difficult to break free from. This might be why there are tales of the east that tell of vengeful Yuki-Onna. She left the basket to Cynthia to catch, though it was less that and more she mostly forgot about it. The Yuki-Onna summoned six spears of ice and aimed them all at her counter-victim. "Do you not learn?"

Kozue Komichi

This one was a lot better than anticipated. If she wasn't surprised by the girl jumping like that, Kozue might have just did something to counter that midair, but alas it's too late now. Still, Kozue followed the Demon closely and blocked her attack with her arms. She didn't really want to, but there was no real counter to this. So she just pushed the Demon's attack off and continued with a few punches. She didn't want to get too into it know that this one was better than expected. She kept her guard up.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Miren~

"A-ah, r-right." Miren moved swiftly. An empty catalyst of some sort to drain the mana of the portal, something to activate it with. The rabbit fumbled around with various items around the shop. An eerie looking mask of some sort, a couple of other trinkets and a number of other items. Thankfully it seemed as though the dolls were doing a good job of keeping whatever undead were outside of the store. It took the rabbit only a few minutes to seemingly finish, before hopping back to Eith with a handful of items.

"Alright! I think I got everything."

~Cynthia~

"Aha, whoops." The pumpkinhead chuckled, looking down at her frozen feet. Ah, they were really frozen in there, weren't they? "Really not a nice frost butt, are you?" Cynthia simply remained silent, easily catching the stolen sweets as they fell from the heavens. "Aaaam I going to get puuuunished?~" The maid glared coolly at the thief

~Marie~

Marie walked past Maoin with her usual brisk, upbeat pace, though said nothing in reply or thanks to the kitten holding open the door for her. Instead, she walked into the villa, and was immediately greeted by the Headmistress. It had been awhile since Marie had seen Livia. Not since the older womans own little visit to Hell quite a few years ago.

"Ah! The mighty headmistress graces us with her presence!" Marie giggled. "Didn't expect such a welcome from someone as important as you!~" Despite the politeness of her words, her tone of voice indicated a slight playful, mocking nature.

"Ah, Marie." Livia huffed quietly in response to the younger woman, eyes shifting over to Maoin. "It is a pleasure to see you again. Your mother is...not here yet. I believe she is out making a mess of things and I'll probably have to drag her back by the ankles."

"Tsk, wooow, and she wanted me to be early." The younger girl scoffed with an eye roll. "Annyways, if the party's not startin yet I'ma head upstairs to the guest rooms."

"Hm, very well. Make yourself comfortable. I'll send for you when things are ready." Marie started up the stairs, motioning for Maoin to follow. "Just...remember what we talked about hm? Keep yourself out of trouble, Marie...and Maoin," She turned to the kitten. "If you need anything at all, just give a shout, hm?" Livia gave the kitten a soft smile before heading back into the main foyer. If Maoin cared to look, it seemed like a number of other fancily dressed people had already arrived. A number of important people - mages, nobles, wealthy merchants, and other such people. Most notably were Richard Lightsword and a certain pink haired woman dressed in a black dress, who was impatiently tapping a wine glass. Next to her was an absolutely massive man, standing easily over six feet tall. He was currently reading a book of some sort - looked like some sort of advanced mathematics or some other difficult academic subject.

"Heh, will do Headmistress. I'll keep myself out of trouble. No touching things that aren't mine, and all that stuff, heh. Come on kitty." Marie would lead Maoin up stairs towards the room that had been given to her and her mother that night.

~Lyssa~

Lyssa easily dealt with the strikes that Kozue dealt. A block there, a dodge there. She returned the priestess' own attacks with her own as well. Like this though, neither of them were really gaining an upper hand. Well, time to get a little creative! Lyssa blocked an incoming blow easily, moving onto a quick next move. She aimed a powerful uppercut right to the priestess' jaw, and would follow it up by a tackle, aiming to throw the priestess over her shoulder.

[Roleplayer001]

Maoin let Marie pass wordlessly and without comment - it seemed the girl was used to being treated like this. Maoin stayed on her heels as they entered the house and she listened to the headmistress as she talked with the girl about her mother and spoke with the headmistress as if they were on familiar terms. A brief look around showed various people who were FAR above her station mingling about and enjoying themselves and suddenly felt very small.

The kitten was curious but didn't say anything as the two conversed until she was addressed unexpectedly. If she needed anything? The kitten gave a somewhat nervous curtsy unsure of how to respond. What could she possibly need ... aside from a little wine perhaps? "Thank you headmistress." Aside from backing away respectfully and grabbing two small glasses of wine off the table before heading upstairs however the cat didn't do much else as her and Marie entered one of the guest bedrooms where Maoin blushed across the face.

She was supposed to close the door for whatever was about to happen, right? The kitten reached behind her and pulled the door slowly closed before reaching out with one of the glasses of wine and offering it as she sat down on the bed face more than a little flushed.

"H-here." Although now would probably be a good time to ask the question that had been bugging her incessantly ever since she mentioned the headmistress' house. "W-who are you exactly? It seems like your mom is high ranking." Had she been addressing Marie improperly?

For a few minutes Meowka just stared out into space before eventually turning and looking at one of the dolls. "Is Mistress Katherine finished with the water bitch yet? Can you at least tell me that?" The kitten really hoped thtat one of them wouldn't raise one of their signs and try to communicate with her via writing and instead would simply nod or shake their heads in response.

If they didn't respond quickly the cat would simply turn her head up towards the sky and watch it once again as she waited. She supposed she could return hope and take a nap ...

A nap sounded great, really...

The cat closed her eyes as she leaned against the back of the bench and smiled slightly despite the noise of the festival.

Katherine's Dolls

Water bitch? It's been a while since Katherine was done with her... The dolls wondered how they were going to convey exactly what their master was up to. Zombie patrol wasn't exactly the easiest thing to get across... They just looked at each other as Meowka didn't even pay attention to them. Before frying their brain, one ran off to grab some paper and something to write with... A commandeered inked quill. The doll wrote on it, "The Miss is fighting off a horde of zombies currently from the last report. She's leading from the frontline so it seems."

Of course, the cat couldn't read, so one ran over and grabbed some random group of girls. Well, it was random, but these girls Katherine made a mental note of. "The girls that fawn over that Lightsword girl" or so she said. The handed the paper to the one of the girls. The defaulted leader, a frail looking girl with pink hair. "Ehh? Did I make Miss Lindall angry!?" The girl said as she was practically pulled by the doll over to Meowka.

Another of the group, the taller black haired girl, asked. "What did you do Pyrina?" She asked, walking over with the girl.

Pyrina was poked by a doll to get her attention. It made some motions from its "mouth" with its hands to symbolize speaking before pointing at the paper then at the cat. Another doll took the time to wake Meowka up. Pyrina herself was confused as to what to do. Soon, she put two and two together. "Oh! Read th-this to her? Umm, I uhh, okay." She wondered if this would keep the teacher happy. She wasn't about to piss off the teacher that she could only assume was a disciplinarian. "I, uhh, umm. Th-this says... The miss is fighting off a... Horde of Zombies!? What? When!?" She was smacked in the shin by the doll, "O-oh! Right! Umm, she's on the f-frontline, fighting them off!?" She was confused and so did the two girls behind her. The dolls let the girls do what they wanted, which was stand there almost completely shocked.

Eith the Shellagh

"You lead, I don't know where we need to go or what to do. I don't think I could understand either, but I will destroy any of those creatures that get close." Eith said with a bit of flame spewing from her nose at the end. She was ready to tear a few limbs apart.

Mugi

"Punishment? I think..." She froze the Ninja all the way up to the thigh. It was a pretty solid ice. "That being frozen in place is punishment enough. Maybe you can sit there and think on how you're missing the festival over all. I think you'll be able to slip out of there. . . In an hour?" Mugi said questioningly. She deserved much worse, but Mugi was happy to have her sweets from her sweet back. She then looked to Cynthia, "Oh, unless you wanted to do something."

Kozue Komichi

Kozue dodged back on Lyssa's uppercut. She wasn't wholely prepared for the tackle, but braced for it and started to counter struggle with the powerful demon. She didn't let Lyssa get her into quite the position intended. "Fighting you, you're more obviously a demon than that innocent demeanor of yours suggests." Kozue said as she resisted the demon's tackle. She'd be ready to counter whatever else Lyssa would do. She was mostly expecting some blows while they were grappling each other.

~Miren~

"R-right...okay, first things first. Need to find the tear." Miren frowned, fumbling with her items as she left the shop. In her hand, was a small rod of some sort that was decorated with a number of different crystals of various sizes and shapes. It was a rod of sorts - able to detect strong sources of mana. Miren fumbled with it, pointing it in a few different directions before the crystals glowed dully.

"R-right, this way!" Miren hopped in the direction the rod told her to travel in. Eith followed behind, and the two of them made fairly good progress and were only eventually halted by a group of a few undead that were right in their path.

~Cynthia~

"OOh, ice play. That's new." The pumpkin replied. "Gotta admit, this is new. Heh, maybe I should do something like this with Kozue..." It didn't seem like Ayumi was going to be taking this 'punishment' too seriously. Cynthia herself simply frowned, observing the ninja with a passive expression.

"You must teach disobedient children harshly." She said, walking over to Ayumi.

"...Hey there, maid. Punishment time?~" Cynthia simply remained silent, observing the pumpkin silently for a moment, giving the ninja a completely emotionless stare. A few uneasy seconds passed. "...uh, don't mind being stared at but what are you-" Cynthia suddenly grabbed the pumpkin by the head. "Ow ow, hey watch the goods!" Before she could say anything else, Cynthia delivered a swift uppercut right into the pumpkins face.

The force of the blow combined with her wind magic, made a small localized whirlwind that dislodged the mask from her head, and sent her and it flying right through the air.

"Gah! I'm a pumpkin! Pumpkins can't flyyyyyy!"

"...shall we go back to the dance are, my sweet?" Cynthia turned her head towards Mugi as she asked the question.

~Marie~

"Aw...for me?" Marie observed the glass of wine with a small smile. "You don't expect me to drink this, do you?" Marie sighed, sniff lightly as she touched the glass and placed it on a nearby desk. Instead, she walked over to a desk in the room. "Hmm...she always keeps some for us around here somewhere....ah, here we are!" Marie pulled out a large glass bottle - it was darkly colored, the label on it was completely torn off and the liquid inside was some dark shade of red.

"Eheh~" The silver haired girl walked over to the bed, sitting on the edge of it and pouting the contents of the bottle into an empty wine glass. "Much better, than that cheap human stuff." Marie pressed her lips to the glass, taking an appreciative sip of the red liquid. It smelled vaguely of apples.

"Hmm...to answer your question though, pet, I am what you might call...a princess of sorts." She smirked. "Allow me to fully introduce myself. Lucia Marie - Heir to the throne of Pride...well, as soon as my mom croaks." The demon inched closer to Maoin, giving her a predatory grin.

~Lyssa~

Upon being called 'not adorable' by Kozue, She released the priestess, jumping back a few paces as she wore a seemingly offended look.

"H-hey! I am innocent and adorable! Just because my mom is literally Satan and my dad is a Minotaur Warlord don't mean I can't be innocent and adorable!" The demon seemed to forgot entirely about fighting Kozue, and instead gave the human a pout, puffing out her cheeks slightly as she took a decidedly non-threatening stance.

Before either of them could do anything else, there was a familiar voice shout from above.

"Catchmecatchmecatchmekozuepllllleaseoryouknowdon'tbecasueI'dtotallybeintoit!" It seemed the trajectory of the blast sent the ninja and her mask falling right on top of Kozue.
