"L-lulu!" Aria gasped as the Virtuoso all but tackled his way through the throngs of stuffed animals, throwing them off of her and releasing her from their fluffy clutches. Almost at the same time a golden glow encompassed her body, healing the smaller bruises and cuts that she had sustained. The pain in her shoulder lessened as the wound closed slightly, the flow of blood lessening. The illusionist felt rejuvenated, suddenly becoming more aware of her surroundings.
For a short moment she felt that fainting might have been a better choice. A lion and a girl with strange looking limbs were approaching fast from one side, while Isabella was coming from the other side, looking murderous once again. Aria shoved Lute down as a rain of knives came at them, snatching a small plush wolf that scampered by her feet and using it as a shield. A few knives shredded the thing into scraps of fabric and stuffing, only then Aria noticing how a large variety of stuffed animals had invaded the circus tent, all doing their best to hinder her friends' movements.
At this rate they would be overwhelmed by sheer numbers alone. No, they needed to take down whoever was controlling these squishy dolls, and her eyes landed on Guinevere. That was the woman, she had no doubt. They had no time to deal with the lion, Poppy, and especially not Isabella. Amy was in trouble, she could see, restrained by a large terrifying teddy bear with a multitude of strangely sharp toy swords pointed at her.
"We have to deal with the creepy doll lady first," she hissed out at Lute. "and then we can- where are your shoes? Aaah, whatever! Run for it!" She grabbed, Lulu's hand, yanking him into a sprint- Directly at Isabella.
She released the knives she had plucked from the poor skewered wolf plushie, chucking them at the acrobat. A small illusion was made, all that she could manage right now. It hid the real knives within a group of false ones, making it hard to discern and avoid them. The acrobat hadn't been expecting the two to make a run towards her, eyes widening as more knives than she could remember throwing flying towards her. There was no way for her to dodge them all, and yet when the first knife hit her flesh she felt nothing. Instead the blades that had reached Isabella whisped away, the real knives heading instead for the target behind her- Guinevere.
What Aria didn't expect was Eric's sudden appearance and his rescue of Amy, but it only served as a further distraction to the ruffles-wearing lady. Perhaps it would even distract her enough so that she wouldn't notice the blades flying towards her.
I'm super tired so I'll try to post in the morning instead, sorry > < Also dad is coming tomorrow so if I don't manage to post in the morning I'll probably do it in afternoon or at night depending on the schedule.
Paintball field- Blue Team (a.k.a Bestest Team Ever)
“Breeze, we should probably keep it a little closer in here. This place is way too perfect for an ambush. We need to make sure we can keep an ear out for movement, since sight and smell is going to be impossible in here.”
"Heehee, trying to strategize already? Very nice." The merchant nodded in approval. "It's not a bad plan, but-"
Breeze whipped towards the sound the yelp had came from, but before she could fire a shot an explosion of paint burst on Jasper's visor and Inadi had shot a wild barrage of bullets in the direction that the shot had come from. She heard a faint splat, but whether that was because lover-boy's shots hit a target or a errant tree she couldn't tell. The bright red splash of color on the poor girl's visor, however, had a large grin spread on her face.
"Looks like Denny and Lizzie got us first this time, eh?"
Jasper and Inadi had ducked behind a fallen log and called for the her and Est to join them. While it might have been more tactically sound, where was the fun in that? Her mind was set when a splash of red paint spattered across her boot, taking off a thankfully low 5% off of her health.
"Oooh, that's done it." The wicked grin on her face only grew when two more shots came her way, her managing to step out of the way just in time. She raised her own gun in retaliation, firing off a few shots blindly towards the direction of where the red team was. "Feels like they're challenging us, doesn't it?"
Her tone was almost conversational as she ducked behind a standing log. She shot a glance towards Est, knowing that the two soldiers on the other team were trying to split them up for one-on-one battles. Perhaps it was reckless, but this was a game and the point of a game was to have fun, right? And win, and have the opportunity to gloat about winning afterwards of course.
It wasn't like they haven't done this before with Denny and Lizzie anyways.
"I'm going after Lizliz! Any protests? No? Ok bye!"
She darted off, doing a dive roll behind a boulder and slinking after Lizzie under the cover of a few fallen trees. The soldier was fast, and soon the dead brush and mucky ground gave away to leafy trees and underbrush. She hid behind a bush, listening for signs of where the soldier could be and tracks of trampled vegetation.

So her illusions didn't work on the dolls after all.
Aria clawed at the fluffy salamander that clung to her face, illusion dissipating quickly. The feeling of more fluffy bodies hurling and clinging themselves onto her made her stagger, before what felt like a mini soft cannonball barreled her down. She gave a pained scream as the dagger was pushed down even deeper, releasing the hold on the smothering plushie on her face as she slammed to the ground.
Once again she was pinned down, and with a snarl she reached for the handle of the knife, ripping it out of her shoulder. It was doing nothing but hindering now, and the wound had deepened so much that a little more blood loss didn't matter anymore. Her hand shook from the pain, but she slashed at the plush creature clinging to her face, ripping the fabric apart and spilling stuffing out onto the sandy floor.
She panted heavily, eyes darting around the tent. It had only become more chaotic, but with a start she spotted Marcus and Amy standing at entrance. A feeling of relief washed over her momentarily upon the two, before the bunny's dress obscured her face, trying to stop her from slicing at any more of its cuddly comrades.
I'mma post! ^ o ^ Good luck with those titchy lil' boogers yea

Aria gritted her teeth when she realized that she had no way to reach her fans. They were pressed underneath her body, and with the astounding weight of the plush turtle atop her back it was impossible to draw them out.
The sound of rustling made her look back up, only to twitch at the appearance of two more dolls, this time a mouse and a rather classy looking rabbit. It was disconcerting how alive they looked, and she had to look away from the mouse's stare after a short while. Instead she glared the rabbit that was getting too close to her wounded shoulder for comfort, hissing in warning.
She was hardly expecting the shift in weight on her back- the turtle had for some reason rolled over to her shoulder- the uninjured one, thankfully- and she barely thought before she rolled, pushing hard with her injured arm to try to escape. The sharp jab of pain made her tremble, but her jerk successfully toppled the plushie off of her. The illusionist barely had time to think, throwing up her illusion as far as it could reach to hide herself from the others' eyes before leaping up and staggering back a few paces. The loss of blood was making her lightheaded and it was becoming more and more difficult to focus- had Xan managed to contact Amy and Marcus? Where had Trixie gone? She hoped at least the Trickster was safe.
Aria felt her concentration waver yet again as she backed up slowly, trying to figure out if illusions affected plushies. She needed to hide somewhere before she lost her grip on her magic, somewhere close. She needed a few minutes to focus, and then see if she could muster up the strength to attack the crazy doll lady or the important looking man- but planning could come later. She could feel her grip on the illusion slip by the second, but where was there to hide without alerting anyone?
Posted! As for weird dreams...
I had one where I was a Power Ranger and we could fly by swimming through the air ahaha. Only they all swam away super quick- It was during the time when I was in a swim team so it was probably because I absolutely hated swim meets and was super stressed e ve
Omg Lulu that sounds terrifying e ne *hughug*

One moment she was trying to control an angry, limping panda, the next thing something had tackled her off. She struggled for a moment but it barely took moments before she was pinned to the ground, unable to pick herself up no matter how she tried. Her arms and legs could move, yes, but it felt as if something incredibly heavy had settled onto her back. She let out a gasp of pain as the dagger in her shoulder was pushed in deeper, blood seeping through her shirt and into the sandy ground of the circus.
She craned her head, only to be met with the sight of Isabella approaching- and a pair of button eyes that seemed to stare back at her, belonging to an innocent looking plush turtle in a skirt. She reached out to grab the thing with her good arm, but as soft as it was it refused to budge at all. What in the world-
"Isabella, darling, are you all right? Are you hurt?"
A woman stood a short distance away, one hand one the panda's fur and eyes focused on Isabella. She was dressed much like a doll herself- all lace and ruffles. There was something disconcerting about the woman- could she be the one controlling the doll? While the two woman talked, Aria tried to maneuver herself so that she could attempt to reach her weapon. If she could try to destroy the doll somehow...
Paintball field- Blue Team (a.k.a Bestest Team Ever)
So they only had two humans coming with them, huh?
"You guys better take good care of them! If anything happens I'm not taking responsibility for it!"
Breeze yelled out after the two soldiers, very much inwardly excited. If they were here that meant it was open game day- Meaning that it was going to be an absolute blood paintbath. It was a good thing the stadium had switched to automatic cleaning a few years back or every time this happened it would take weeks to clean. She laughed as the frazzled Est charged down the tunnel, before coming back to retrieve his gun. She herself hefted up one of the more sizeable guns with ease, being used to heavy lifting in her line of work (not to mention that she often joined in games like this when the soldiers had an uneven team).
"After you two darlings," she nudged the humans forward, walking through the metallic tunnel until they reached the end of the hallway. While they waited, Breeze fiddled with a small contraption in her hand until it lit up, a small green hourglass popping up on the gridded surface. The merchant could hardly keep the excited smile off her face though at this point it was more of a predatory grin- she could only hope that the tinted visor would keep her from scaring the humans. She had heard they had rather weak psyches.
The moment the doors slid open she rushed out, looking around. "Looks like we're at the ruins," she remarked offhandedly, looking down at the tracker. The Red Team was a ways away and it seemed that they had already ran into adversaries, as marked by the colored flares in the distance. As for them...
"Our game plan? How about... Taking care of these guys first?"
She leapt into action as a barrage of paint pellets flew through the air, tugging the humans to duck behind a ruined wall of the stone structures around them. Three robots emerged from the forest, clicking and whirring as they advanced. A few more shots rang through the air, blue this time, hitting each of the mechanical giants in the head with deadly precision and stunning them for a short moment.
"Awesome, Est! C'mon, let's go! Get them while they're frozen!" She did a front roll out from behind the wall, aiming and firing at the first robot. A splash of blue painted it's abdomen nicely, before its shoulder was drenched as well.
