This cover is so pretty~~ X3

thanks! :

"You're not listening!" Alexandrea says, "I didn't say Victoria and the other's were 'like me', I said that over a period of time, people forget or other memories muddle up other memories! And losing her husband, knowing he became the Nightmare King, it's /traumatic!/ Trauma can cause you to block things out, or forget things, besides, no one said they /were there/ when Faithful was turned or what exactly went down!"

"I know Faithful is Malice, that Faithful is trapped inside him, I'm not calling anyone a liar or delusional" Alex threw her hands up finally, starting off to leave the infirmary, "I'm gonna go see if Blue will help me see, whoever wants to come, come. Whoever doesn't, don't!"

Terradream doesn't say anything more to Alex, he only gives her a more and more confused look. //You were the one who said "Take it from me, I can't remember everything," so doesn't that imply you were saying they were like you...?// the ghostly Dreamer thinks, scratching the back of his head, //And I thought you weren't sure that Faithful was Malice, and that's why you wanted to see it? If you know Malice is Faithful, why do you still want to see what happened? Why would anyone want to watch that...?//

But, like I said, Terra doesn't say any of those thoughts out loud, and he just watches Alexandrea go to leave. "... I guess..." he slowly and quietly starts, glancing over to Fiona and noticing her with her diary, "I'm... gonna see about... I dunno, maybe I'll go ask Osiris for a s-spare, empty book I can use... Then I'll get back to that th-thing I said I'd help out with... How about you guys...?"

"That does make sense..." Eira murmured in commentary to what Alex said, before she left the room.

The thought of seeing the dark past of Malice and the fate of the twins certainly wasn't appealing to the griffin shiftress, but she stood up anyway. "I'll stay with you Catch," she said to her husband, coming over to him with a caring yet concerned look. "I want to make sure you're alright... You've been through a lot today already, I can tell. You don't have to do this now if it'll be too much," she mentioned.

Fiona looked to Catch at first as he told them that they didn't have to come, then her attention was pulled to Alex as she spoke and then left the infirmary. The Elemental watched with /even more/ confusion and concern on her face, wondering about the phoenix shapeshifter and just how that whole vision would go down...
Then Terra stated what he was going to do, and then Eira did the same... She knew that vision wasn't going to be pretty, and she didn't want to leave anyone. She wanted to know what had happened, but her mind was also scrambling to put together all the rampant thoughts about /everything./

Fiona frantically looked around to everyone in the room and the door, and even down to her chicken-scratch notes.
"...aaAAAAAHH, I DON'T KNOW!!"

Dreamcatcher just stood there for a moment, his mind was just trying to Sort everything out, he still had Weaver on his mind which he was Concerned about, Eater took off and he only hoped that Captain Boreas was able to calm down the Nightmare and then there was Purity and her Condition, let alone his own

The red head prince let out a tired sigh, he wants to support Alex, she was parof the group but at the same time he didn't understand why this had to happen now // she just has to see for herself, who am I to say what really happened, I just don't think im ready for something like that....// Catch himself was almost turned into a Nightmare by Malice, he didn't want to imagine what Faithful went through " I know Faithful is Malice...I know we could learn more by looking into the past but to be honest.... I don't think im ready just yet to see what really happened to Faithful...not yet at least, there things I still need answer to with Weaver and if Faithful is still alive I want to help save him to"

Glory weakly looks back up at the Captain with tears in her eyes, but she slowly nods her head. "Ok..." she mutters, and turns to look back to the not-quite-empty prison cell.

Eater is still quiet...

"... He's under the bed..." Glory quietly announces.

"...Yup, I figured about as much." Boreas muttered, giving Glory a thank you in the form of a slight nod.
He hadn't expected Eater to respond, so after a slight pause, he just continued from where he'd left off.
"That happened to me a while back. You already know I've got a fancy-schmancy metal arm.
This was way back when I was first getting it made. My old buddy--the master of metal arts helped me out with it. He was a character, alright--always doing weird dances. You should hear how he /yodels./ He'd tell me that was the secret to working the metal--you really have to impress it.
Well, I never questioned it... Seemed like it worked most of the time."

There ya go, Shadow~

This is a sweet cover. All the colors are so pretty~

Hi Galaxy! How're ya doing? :3

Hey Lilly!

I'm doing good today so far. I stayed up until almost 3 last night, so I'm pretty tired, but I'm still good nonetheles. :P

How are you?

I feel that, though I was only up to 1 something last night 'XD Glad you're doing good aside from that, though! :3

I'm doing good! Today feels kinda weird now that I have to get used to SKeys being back to Monday, I woke up thinking today was Sunday again 'XD

Hi Galaxy! Its good to hear your doing good other then tired :)

I'm doing well to, I been happy to go back to work x3
And its Skey month! :

Lol, it's good to hear you're good too!

Haha, I've been there before too. It is a little odd, but I'm rather used to schedules getting flipped around, so I don't mind it. I have to say, I kinda like the RP on Mondays. X3

I do too, honestly XD

Speaking of which, do ya feel up to RPing today?

Hi Shadow! Im glad to hear you're good as well :)
Ooo yes, I'm so excited for this month.

And yeah I think do feel up to trying to roleplay today.

Awesome! :D Do you have any idea what Crystal has been up to this whole time, or where she'd be at?

Hellooooo!

Aaaah, this cover is both beautiful and adorable! X3

Hi Fluffy! :D

Well, I figured she probably left Crim to get rest, and eventually went back down to the kitchen/dining area. Getting food had been her goal that morning before things changed, and since I can't think of anything else at the moment, I'll just go with that she would have gone back to actually get something to eat. ;p

Hey Fluffy!

I like how that means that Crystal is like one of the only few characters to have gotten breakfast/food so far X'D

Hmmm, I'll have to do some plotting with Shadow as to what we can do for you~

Hahaha, I like that, too. X'D
Crystal is a very responsible individual.

Also, glad to hear everyone's doing alright!

Sorry getting distracted with drawing a meme

That's alright, Shadow X'D

I think it great to thag Crystal the responsible one xD

If you like I got a few characters I can have run into Crystal:)

Again, Dreameater stays quiet as Boreas continues his story, though he does gradually tip his head slightly to the side. //... What is he talking about...?//

Glory turns her head around to look up at Boreas again, and asks, "He danced and yodeled for metal...?"

Sparky quickly floats over to Fiona and waves his paws in a "calm down" motion, and suggests, "Hey, hey, relax and slow down, we've all been kind of run over with a truckload of information, I think if anymore comes, we'll explode. How about you go with Terra, and when he gets himself a book to write in, you both can talk about what you've learned and you can process everything? Mmm? Mmmm?" He glances between Terra and Fiona.

Terradream just lightly shrugs and mumbles, "I-I don't mind..." and gives Fiona a faint smile before looking back to his Fairfin. "J-just... Sparky, I left a bag of important things either--either in the Queen's office or in the library, d-don't let me forget it..."

Lol I didn't think about it like that, but I suppose you're right.
Hehe, and maybe not necessarily responsible, but more or less just really wants to eat before she loses the opportunity to do so, again. But I'm sure if you did call her responsible she wouldn't complain XD

Ah, okay. I'm good with anything really. :)

Boreas replied with a simple, confident "Yup." as though that were some kind of regular thing he'd seen all the time. "Ahh, he was just a /little/ bit crazy. The thing that mattered was he was good at what he did...
...Maybe /too/ good.
Anyways, you could guess the whole process--we went through a load of prototype prosthetics, trying to find out what worked. To give you an idea, the first one was an arm-shaped hunk of junk. Weighed a storm-load, but fit just right.
Eventually, at number 146, master craftsman-man figured out how arms work, and he wanted me to test its mobility."

The little Forgotten stares up at Boreas for a moment, putting two-and-two together in this story. "... You... You went to test the mobility of the arm, and it ran away from you...?"

Jason, Ethan, Jasmine and two female Vaseterm had just came back from trying to hunt down
".... you think the other team will be fine out there?... I don't have to take a break, I could have gone with them to help " Ethan Mumbled

Jasmine took her hand on slap it on top of the wolf boys head " there you are worrying again, Relax Ethan the other team will be fine, we were out all morning we all could use a break, maybe get something to eat or see what everyone else is up to " she said with a playful grin

Jason for ones wasn't his normal care free self, knowing one of Soledormir curse weapons was on the lose had him Uneasy, he just walked with the group deep in though

The two female Vaseterm were chatting between themselves " so what do you think really happened last night? For a fight to have broken out there wasn't much of anything to find, I wouldn't even have known something went down if Ethan said he seen magic there"

" it was really wired, Blue and Qui report talk about Nightmare fog and those crystal at the place Hiiro to the crazy guy but it was all gone " the other female replied

Fiona looked at Sparky, concern written all over her face... But her tensed up shoulders slowly fell to a more relaxed position.
Her gaze went to Catch and Eira, then back to Sparky and Terra. She let out a sigh, and managed a smile. "Yeah, I'd like that. That sounds like a great idea.
/...Especially if it means nobody explodes./" The Elemental muttered that last part.
She looked worriedly to the door one last time, "I just hope Alex and Blue'll be okay."

"That's right!" Boreas chuckled a little, "I put the thing on, and it wouldn't do anything I told it to--ended up popping right off of my arm and making a break for it.
Crafts-man tried to grab it before it got out the door, but the thing poked him in the eyes! Pretty underhanded move for something that's supposed to be helpful...

He dropped it and it was out of the room like a gust of wind. We chased it down. Might've been an arm, but it was pretty good at legging it.
Thankfully, the ninja showed up and dismantled it for us. It probably would've gotten away, otherwise.

And after that, mister crafstman said to me, 'You'd better not go losing any legs, or else I'll get my teeth kicked out.'

And I said back to him, 'Pfft, I'll be a Nightmare's uncle before that happens!'

...I'm expecting one of 'em to pop off any day now."

Terradream gives a little nod of his head, glances over to Catch and his wife out of the corner of his eyes, and then slowly starts floating off toward the door. "... I think Bl-Blue will be fine... Alex, I think, is just really emotional... M-maybe giving her some time and checking on her later will b-be good, I dunno..."

"Maybe we can get a cookie for her later!" Sparky cheerfully adds, "A cookie and a glass of milk. I bet that'd help... at least /some./"

"Ha... ha ha..." Glory weakly laughs with an equally weak smile as the Captain finishes up his story, and says, "I hope you don't... lose any legs... Captain... That sounds like a pain to get replaced..."

Dreameater, meanwhile, is quiet yet again for a good while after Boreas has finished his story, but eventually, he slowly moves around and pokes his head out from under the bed, at least enough to see the Captain. "... I know you want to kill me," he quietly says, then clarifies, "You want to kill me, like everyone else does, and bring Weaver back..."

Fiona briefly glanced to Catch and Eira, too, giving them a wave, whether they noticed it or not. Then she followed after Terra and Sparky.
"Yeah, Blue's pretty good at handling stuff... I'm sure he'll be able to help Alex out.
We should definitely get her a cookie, though.
Maybe a whole /bunch/ of cookies..."

The Elemental paused for a moment, then made one last note before they left the room. She was still wondering about everything, but they didn't have a second book yet, so she just jotted down whatever questions came to her mind rather than bring them up. Instead, she decided to ask "So, how're you guys doing after all of that? Everything kinda just went /crazy./"

Crystal was seated at the dinning table in the kitchen, poking around at the last little bit of food in front of her. She was completely lost in thought, staring at her plate

She had come back to finally get something to eat, she needed the energy after having used her magic earlier.

The silence allowed her to think, and try and sort things out in her mind.. she had been there for a while, but honestly hadn’t made much progress.

Crystal ran her hand through her hair and glanced around, pausing when she heard what she thought were voices. She listened, but they were a little too far away for her to make out who they belonged to or what they were saying.

Boreas smiled a bit, "Nahhh, no need to worry about that."
He was actually somewhat surprised to see Glory laughing and smiling, even if it was awfully weak. //At least her condition is improving.//

He looked to Eater as he poked his head out from under the bed,
"Sure. But not right now." The Captain answered honestly with a slight shrug, "I'm still looking into this case."
There was a slight pause before he shook his head, "No, I actually wanted to ask you about something else."

Terradream looks down at the ground as he floats along, trying to think about how exactly he's doing. "... I... don't really know, so much happened..." he quietly admits.

"I'm happy to learn Weaver's alive," Sparky chimes in.

And that gets Terra to smile faintly again, at least briefly. "Y-yeah... Me too... But... But I-I have so much information I need to keep track of, I have so much to write down, I don't want to f-forget anything..." the ghost picks up hs pace after saying that, and thinks to himself, //... Where is Osiris, again? Wasn't he going to do something with Ai? ... That was a while ago, maybe he's done by now--but then where would he be...?//

Eira nodded in agreement to Catch's confessions about not feeling ready to see Faithful's past. "It's ok," she said as she gently took his hand and led him to a chair to sit him down. She sat next to him and looked him over, worried for the mental and physical state of her husband. She didn't know everything that he had been through that day, but she knew it wasn't pleasant. Things went pretty downwards for both of them. "Just... breathe in and take it a step at a time, Catch. How are you feeling?"

Ethan flinched when Jasmine pat his head, he only made a Grumble in reply

Jasmine Snickered and moved to open the door to the kitchen " we can talk things over after we eat" Upon entering see was the first to notice the human girl " Hay! Your one of the key hunters right? " she leaned over to the wolf boy and whispered " this one Eira right? "

Ethan peek around the taller women at the human girl and then whispered back " no, that one not Eira... she has fluffy things on her head and an ice lshoulder.... this one a human, I think she Crystal " he Whispered back.

" that right! " the star scale Snapped her finger, she grin at the human girl and try to Continue like nothing happened " Crystal! "

Ethan just rolled his eyes and sheepish walk back the dragon half blood, he gave the human girl a small nod but didn't say anything and went over to the Cabinet Where the serial was located and was helping himself.
Jason finally snapped out of his fog when he went inside the Kitchen, he remembered the girl " Hay Crystal " he gave a Warm smile but even with that one could tell a lot was on his mind

Dreameater frowns when Boreas confirms his fears, but he doesn't hide his head back under the bed. "Yeah...? What'd you wanna ask...?"

"Yeah... There was /a lot./" Fiona gave the ghost a sympathetic nod. She couldn't help but grin a little with Sparky's addition about Weaver, though. "And that means we're getting closer to figuring out a way to bring him back, too!!"
...Had Terra been tangible, Fiona would've grabbed him by the arm and shaken him a little out of her excitement. But, since that wasn't possible, she kind of just did a little, floaty hop and opened her arms.

However, when the Dreamer picked up his pace, Fiona was quick to follow, "Right! So let's get that book so we can do that! /Then/ we can just talk and take it easy!"

Dreamcatcher Sat down and let out a deep sigh, he didn't want Alexandreas to go alone but at the same time he just needed time to, a lot just happened in a Short amount of time, Everything from getting his hand fixed to Purity getting attacked to finding out that Weaver alive and now that Malice is Faithful and that everything he thought he knew about Nightmares could be wrong.

The Dreamer prince took his good hand and brush it through his hair, he did what his wife Suggested and took in a deep breath " I don't really know... I'm still trying to Sort out everything that just happened, I never willing focus on something else emotions like that" he looked to Eira and realized she wasn't there to know just what he did " I wanted to try something, Eater had been acting strange and well, I think we all knew that it wasn't quite right, I wanted to see if his helping was truly genuine and I figured I try and see if I could do that thing that happens in Vision...you know were I feel what others do?...and well, It worked " he smiled came to Catch lips " I felt Weaver, he inside Eater, there was two very different emotions going on inside him and then Nevaeh said she seen Weaver! He alive " but as it sunk back in just all what the prince felt

" it hard to explain what I was feeling...I felt trapped, like I wanted to Scream for help but couldn't, I know this wasn't me but Weaver, he trapped and has to go through everything that monster does " Catch Tightened his fist with and a look of Disgust crossed his face.

Terra glances over at Fiona again with another faint smile, and nods his head in agreement. Though, he pauses at the next thing at the end of the hall that comes between them and their goal...
"... Uh, stairs, or elevator?"

"I want to hear a story now. The story behind these." Boreas pulled out the book on Fiona that Eater had given to him earlier, "Specifically, I wasn't around to see Azamuku's palace. I want to know what you went through to get them."

Fiona narrowed her eyes at the elevator in front of them, "I think it'd be faster if we went down the stairs--NOT because elevators bother me or anything--/I'll use it next time, no problem!/" She started floating towards the stairs.
"Stairs are faster, because I can fly down them!" The Elemental added rather sporadically.

Rather reluctantly, Dreameater slowly crawls out from under the bed, leaving his hat under there, and sits crossed-legged beside it. "Well I found them in a dark library..." he starts to explain as he goes over the events in his mind again, "It was something else, I walked through the doors to it and realized there wasn't any ground there, I thought I was going to fall, but I was floating... Everything was floating there... /It was kind of cool.../" he mumbles that last part to himself. "But the books were all flying around, all I had to do was grab them out of the air, I only bothered getting ones with names I recognized. They whispered in the palace though, I guess they don't now. Aside from that, I didn't really have to 'go through' that much to get the books, at least not there in the library itself... I fought Danieru, the Forsaken Lord of Rage to even get there in the first place, though."

The ghostly Dreamer quickly follows along beside Fiona, in some ways being glad that she chose the stairs (though he kind of already knew she'd pick them anyway). "I can f-fly down them too, and elevators are weird as a ghost..." he mumbles in return. //I guess when we get down there, I can ask one of the receptionists where to look for Osiris...?//

Crystal’s head turned to the sound of the door opening and she sat up a bit better as everyone entered.

She studied them all for a moment, to see who all was here, but she only recognized Jason out of the bunch. Crystal looked at Jasmine and nodded as she spoke and asked her question.

Her eyebrows raised slightly as the woman and someone else started whispering, causing her to momentarily look elsewhere, but she quickly shifted her gaze back when she heard a snap and her name. “Yeah, that’s me,” she said with a small laugh, giving everyone a soft smile as a greeting and returning Jason’s hello with a little “Hi,” of her own.

Eira quietly listened to Catch spoke, smiling with him when he talked about feeling Weaver's emotions inside of Eater. "That's so wonderful... It's been confirmed twice now, so I think we can really believe in it..."
Her face grew solemn over the part of Weaver feeling trapped. "I hadn't thought of that... He must be conscious and watching through Eater's eyes, seeing everything he's done... So he's seen the Nightmare eat others... even Terra," she realized aloud, her heart going sick inside from the horrid thought. //I can't imagine how he felt to see all that happen... Poor Weaver...//
An inquisitive face appeared on the griffin shiftress's features. "So... what about the times when Eater acted kindly and had mercy on others? Was that Weaver getting control of his mind again?" She wondered.

Boreas frowned as he listened to Eater, his gaze gradually finding its way to the book in his hand.
He knew any of what he was being told could be lies, especially after Eater's return to instinct. For the time being, he wanted to entertain the thought of it being true--it fit in with some of his other speculations, after all.
"Hm... Pretty mysterious room..." He muttered, then looked to the Nightmare again. "You told me about Danieru already. I understand he's a pretty big force to be reckoned with--like you'd expect Forsaken Lords to be...
But still... Doesn't that seem odd to you? That you didn't have to go through much to get these books?"

Eater is thoughtfully quiet for a moment as he thinks about what Boreas just brought up, and slowly nods his head. "... Yeah... And for a library holding Void's heart, the source of his power, it wasn't guarded, it was just books, bookcases, and the crystal heart in that place, no other dark creatures or anything...
... You think Void /wanted/ me to break in or something?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.

Fiona had paused briefly just to be sure that Terra was okay with the stairs. "I'm glad the stairs work for you, too!
...I mean, if you'd wanted to go down the elevator, I /totally would've gone./" She made sure to re-state that fact as they flew down the stairs.
The Elemental was quiet for a moment, but after hearing Terra's comments about the elevator, she eventually, quietly admitted, "...Elevators are weird.
But at least they don't have evil, ghost-banishing floors of doom!"

"Well... Seems like it was all in there, and not /quite/ completely guarded. If that's not enough, then just look at the books." Boreas said, "These aren't full encyclopedias--there are blank spots. Even entire pages wiped of information.
That was what got me curious--if I didn't know better, I'd say Voidy-boy expected you, or someone to get in there."

Eater "hmm"'s at Boreas' theory and scratches the back of his head. "... Yeah, well I mean he seems like the evil genius mastermind type, setting things up way in advance without anyone even knowing it," he admits, then adds, "So maybe he was expecting me, maybe he moved his /actual/ important stuff somewhere else and only let me get things he wanted me to get... But then what about his heart? It was clearly a heart of some kind, sure it was a crystal, but it pulsed like a heart... You don't... You don't think it was fake, do you...? A fake heart full of Dreamer souls... Eh, but the entire palace started crumbling after it exploded, like it was what was keeping everything together... But he's not an idiot, why would he leave the 'source of his power' unprotected like that?"

"Honestly, I'm glad you picked the stairs, f-for us, it is faster..." Terra says with a shrug, then pauses as a slightly goofy smile crosses his face. "I-I'm pretty sure we'll never have to worry about ghost-banishing floors... E-especially not in elevators..."
Thinking back to what happened in the elevator earlier makes another question pop into Terra's mind, a question about Fiona in particular, but it's a question he'll wait to ask later at a better time...
Now, he goes up to the receptionist counter and asks the person there, "E-excuse me, do you know wh-where I might find Osiris...?"

Jasmine made Finger guns at the human girl " I knew that" she laughed and then like Ethan got herself something to eat to.

Jason on the other hand just took a seat at the table " everyone around here act like one big family " he looked over his shoulder to both half bloods " the Quite kid name Ethan, he a Midnight Walker, half Vaseterm and wolf kitsune mix "

Ethan wolf ears pind back overhearing his friend talking about him " I'm 16, im not a kid..." he Mumble and took his bowl over to a smaller table at the end of the room.

" don't mind him, that his spot, he a little on the shy side " the Orange hair boy said Casually, then he pointed over to the dragon shapeshifter " and that Jasmine, she a dragon and Vaseterm mixture if you couldn't tell by her attitude "

" Excuse me Jason there nothing wrong with my attitude " Jasmine snapped back but there was a playfulness in her tone as she waves a Fork at him.

Jason Laughed and wave a hand back at her before turning back toward Crystal again and held his smile" you know me already"

( im back! I had to help mom for a bit but I should be able to stay now :) )

(Welcome back, Shadow! :3 )

Catch leaned forward and nodded his head " im guess he had to watch everything Eater done and Experience it... when I was taped into his expression I could feel the struggle... I know at one point in the dream Eater had wanted to try and kill Purity...I felt that same feeling with Cataclysm but I also felt sick and cold, and that I know had to be Weaver, he was feeling Eaters emotions and it was making him feel sick... " the Dreamer prince got Quiet for a moment // those few times I almost lost it in my dark form I felt Awful about.... what Weaver has been going through and he can't even stop himself or eh Eater// but what Eira brought up got him thinking " I think so, even in the dream were i felt Eater wanted to kill Purity, Weaver feelings were overwhelming, it got even me to yell at Eater at one point, I'm only guessing but I think Weaver can take control or at least influence Eater "

Catch leaned back into his Chair, it was nice to sit after the weight of everything happening " now the question is how do we go about getting Eater out and keeping Weaver were he belongs in his body..." this got the red head thinking on a tangent " Eater said he broke Voids? Heart and that was supposed to have killed Weaver again... he said Weaver wasn't the only Dreamer in there either that he killed all of them but Weaver alive and if that the case whatever happened to the others and why were they all there?"

Boreas was quiet for a while, listening to Eater speculate. He shrugged, "Magical crystals of power have never been my strong suit, but I think we should be wondering... Whether that crystal was fake or not--it held a palace together, trapped Dreamer souls, and you've said it was the source of Void's power... What did it really do? What was its purpose? And what would happen if someone broke it..." He paused, eventually raising one eyebrow, "...I understand its resemblance to a heart, but I gotta ask... Where did you get the idea that it was the source of his power?"

"Judas told me, he left a message in the dark language telling me to find the source of Void's power," Eater explains, "I think he said something about Void's 'anchor point' being somewhere with a lot of knowledge, so a library fit the bill in my mind." The young Nightmare shrugs and crosses his arms. "... I don't really know what an 'anchor point' is, though, I guess... I kind of just assumed that was the source of Void's power. I can't remember everything from that message, I was in too much of a rush, that was when Catch was kidnapped and taken there."

The receptionist look to the ghost, she was a bit Dazed at first she never seen a ghost before and it Const her to stutter " o-oh! U-h YES! S-ir " she Typed on her computer and not making eye contact with the ghost "O-siris he usually r-unning errands for the queen o-r if somet-imes he at the l-ibrary " she was pretty much Rambling because of her nerves, she did Notice the clock on her Computer " Y-ou Might be about f-ind him in his Room abou-t now... here " she turned the Computer screen and it showed a Lay out Of palace and the two locations, the Library and his room " If you want I-I guess I c-ould just try to call him, b-ut he rarely has a P-hone on him"

"We /better/ not!" Fiona said in response to the talk about ghost-banishing floors. When they arrived at the right floor, she flew up beside Terra at the receptioninst counter, eventually drifting to the floor.
...She was used to hearing stuttering, but she could tell the receptionist was spooked, which caused a slight worried look to come across her face. "Uh... Hey... Are you okay...?"

But her attention was dragged away by the screen she showed them. "Ooh... A MAP!"
And then her attention was pulled away from that by the mentioning of a 'phone.' She blinked, then muttered, "...What's a 'phone?'"

The girl smirked a little at the finger guns, soon turning her attention to Jason as he sat down. She listened and looked towards Ethan as he was introduced.

Crystal nodded, taking notes of what was said, but couldn’t help the sympathetic look that briefly crossed her face as she watched the boy sit alone on purpose, she knew all too well what that was like. “You know, he’s got a point though,” she commented.

The girl then looked over at Jasmine and laughed a little at her response to Jason. She had only just met them, but she could already tell he was right when he said they were like a family to each other.

“I do know you already,” she replied, yet again returning a small smile, “But it’s nice to meet you two as well,” she said kindly as she cast quick glances to the others

Boreas didn't know a lot about Judas yet, but he found it interesting that he'd shared that kind of information.
He also didn't know that Catch had been kidnapped, "That's the right time to be in a rush...
Still, you don't hear words like 'anchor point' being thrown around all the time. I think looking into that could lead to some answers..."

"Y-you don't have to call me 'sir,'" Terra mumbles at first as he listens to the receptionist, but he can also tell she's incredibly nervous since she's stuttering more than he normally does. He waits for her to be done with her explanation before he says anything, starting with, "Th-thank you, ma'am, th-there's no trouble or anything, I just need him for something small... I, uh... Hmm... I guess I hope m-me being a ghost isn't what's scaring you or anything...? I'm just an ordinary guy aside from being a spirit..."

... He is curious what a phone is, but Fiona's already asked about that.

Dreameater nods his head at Boreas, but stays quiet for a moment. He's clearly more relaxed than he was earlier, but not entirely; for even when he looks at his Forgotten in Boreas' hand, some part of him wants to ask if she's ok, if he hurt her... but Eater quickly tenses up and scowls at that. //No, I don't care about her! I don't care! I hope she DIES! I don't need her for anything anymore! Probably... She's just going to try and help Weaver...!!//
Twitching his chains on the ground every now and then, making slight rattling and clinking noises on the cold hard ground, Dreameater then huffs and looks back to the Captain. "Well--is there anything else you need to ask me about?"

Ethan started eating his Cereal, it was Frosted flakes, he Occasionly picked a few of the flakes and was setting them on the table.

" Likewise " Jason replied back, he then got more Comfortable in his seat, it wasn't long before he started up small talk " do you mind if I ask you a few questions... I'm trying to figure something out that involves your..." he Scratched the back of his head " boyfriend "

" Jason! You shouldn't just assume things! " Jasmine snapped at the young man.
Jason though up his hands " well they look like a ship to me! "
" they could be friends... just saying " Ethan Mumbled from his spot

" I-Im fine!" The Receptionist Squeaked in reply to both, though it was pretty obvious she was spooked " I-It's just w-e don't ge-t many ghos-t around here, l-ike None r-eally "

What was even more shocking was finding out that the Elemental didn't know what a Phone was " W-hat? Really?" She pointed to a Corded phone on the desk " y-ou never seen o-ne of those? T-hat's a p-hone, i-f you know someone numbe-r you can use t-hat to tal-k to them!"

"I see... It's all so odd and new-sounding," the griffin shiftress mused, pulling her legs onto he chair and tucking them beside her, and resting her hands on the armrest closest to Catch. Eira sighed and nodded sadly as she listened to her husband. "I really want to help him... He's alive, and that's more of a miracle than we ever could've hoped for. If there's a loophole to this curse, then maybe we really can free him. I just don't know how we could remove a Nightmare from a body..." She reached for one of the books next to her and started to flip through it, but it wasn't about Nightmares so she didn't really expect to find anything. "I've never heard anything about Dreamers being... stored in crystals, or whatever that was about. If it was in Void's palace, then does that mean Void is involved? Was he collecting souls, including Weaver's?"

Fiona hadn't even considered that it would be Terra who was freaking the receptionist out, but when she thought about it, it made a little more sense.
...Sort of.
"He's a /great/ guy." She cheerfully added when he referred to himself as 'ordinary.'

When the receptionist pointed to the phone on the desk, the Elemental leaned slightly to look at it. "Ohhh! So, it's kinda like... Talking to someone with a Fairfin? But instead you use a...
Thing like that?"

Boreas ignored the various rattles and clinks coming from Eater's chains as best as he could. He could tell the Nightmare was getting tense again, and he didn't want to let that worsen. The icy Elemental put the book on Fiona away as he spoke up again,
"Yeah, I've got something else, now that I've heard your story...

What'd you think of mine?"

Crystal laced her fingers and set her hands on her lap. She began to nod again but stopped short after what Jason said lastly. Her eyes moved away, her face warmed up, and her cheeks tinted pink, but she managed to keep the majority of her composure.

She listened as Jasmine and Ethen piped in but just shook her head a little and gave an awkward shrug, “What do you want to know? I’ll do my best to tell you what I can.”

Catch nodded in agreement that it was a Miracle " yeah, I want to help him to, I can only imagine what it's had to be like for him..." the Dreamer prince looked over to what his wife was doing, seen the books she had and Listening " I... I never heard of anything like that before either..." but as he said this something did feel Familiar to the Prince, like he was forgetting something " I don't think I know anything but so much has happened and things I thought I knew I don't anymore "

Letting out a frustrating sigh, Catch tape his Fingers with his good hand on the armrest, he was trying to remember what all happened at Voids Palace and what he had been told " I know Catty was Scared of Void, he even help me Excape the dream I was trapped in... but he wanted me..." Catch moved his hand to his chest and look down at it " I think whatever that place he took me to was for... maybe taking souls out of the body?... I didn't think anyone could do that... but why? If he was stealing souls what for? And how did he get Weavers? How does that even work with Nightmares? I seen Eater as a light Eater, we both seen what a Nightmare really looks like so how does that even work?"

"I-I mean I don't blame you... but..." Terra mumbles at first, stopping for a moment and turning slightly more transparent when Fiona complements him, smiles at her, then turns back to the receptionist and makes the sound of clearing his throat. "... I'm just a D-Dreamer, I'm not going to try a-and cause trouble..."
He gets mildly distracted when she explains the phone to Fiona. //It's very interesting to see how other people come up with things without magic, we have Fairfin to talk to each other, but they don't--I mean, I assume this thing doesn't use magic...//

Sparky, on the other hand, is entirely distracted with it. "You guys have, like, robot Fairfin?! That's so cool! How does it work?? Does /it/ talk to you???" he excitedly asks, flying over to the phone and looking it over.

Of course, while Terra is kind of curious about the phones too, he's got a lot more pressing things on his mind... He just isn't sure how to go from here. He glances at the map on the computer screen again, then back to his Fairfin. //We don't have time to study their things right now, Sparky...// Terra thinks, but doesn't share those thoughts with his partner right now.

Again, Eater goes quiet after hearing Boreas' new question. At first he looks a bit confused, then it changes to more of a thoughtful look as he thinks it over again. He relaxes his posture some... then almost immediately tenses up again. "It was--" he starts to answer, scowling as if he were going to snap back at the Captain, but then he stops, as if he realized that snapping at a /Captain/ isn't a good idea, and he trades that scowl for a more fearful expression. "... It was... It was funny, I guess," Eater finally replies, rubbing his crossed arms a little before tipping his head slightly and asking, "... But, whatever happened to the ninja after he dismantled the arm...?"

Eira hummed quietly. "Yeah... A lot has come our way at once." She reached out to rest her hand on Catch's, and she thought deeply about the things he said about Void and Light Eaters. "I haven't a clue, it's all so foreign to us... Is he responsible for the Nightmares? I-I don't know..." Eira frowned deeper, growing distressed at new information that made no sense with what she had known her whole life. "There has to be someone else out there who knows about this... We have to free Weaver somehow..."

Jason was about to ask a question but Jasmine beat him to it " Ah, many Jason is right, you're face says it" she took her food and sat down at the table to " so what up with him?"

" what up with who?" Jason rises an eyebrow at the dragon shapeshifter

" her gold fish" Jasmine Replied sarcastically and then snap "who do you think im asking about?!"

" you were pretty vague... we don't know much about her or the other key hunters...it could have been anyone " Ethan chim in again, the Serial he was playing with at first it would have not look like much but the more he put down some kind of pattern was being made

" ok! Fine! " Jasmine snapped at them both, she then looked to Crystal " do you know anything that can help with understanding Crimson? What happened isn't natural, no one just Explodes with that much darkness and isn't a dark character themselves, but he looked so human when you all First came "

Jason followed his arms
" Jaz we know already that his magic bracelets keep him from going nuclear"

" I know that Jason, I just wanted to know what exactly is he? " she snapped back

Jason Shrugged " I want to know how he ended up with a curse weapon "

"...you could let her talk " Ethan yet again Mumbled from his table
The two stop Yakking for a moment and waited

Catch turned his hand so he could hold Eira's when she placed it on his, he to was at a lost on what to do next " maybe we could ask one of the Nurse is if they know more about making a cure like what Purity had? We could ask how she doing to or check up on Eater, he took off in a hurry, I'm sure captain Boreas handle it but maybe there more we can do? " then he remembered something else " hang on, Eater had wanted me to give Crimson a note, that he was going to go out..." he grimaced Realizing he never got the chance to Deliver the note " but Eater did tell me that Crimson knew a lot about Nightmares "

Catch looks to his wife after Making these 3 suggestions

Eira thought over the suggestions Catch offered. "I think I'd like to check on Purity... I haven't really seen her since the... incident, and I want to make sure she's okay. And see if there's anything I can do for her..." She glanced to the books beside her, then looked at Catch and put her other hand on top of his, squeezing his hand slightly. "But before we go anywhere, I want to make sure you're alright. I've hardly seen you today, and I want to make sure you're safe. I want to make sure you're taken care of, too," she murmured, giving him a sympathetic look as she looked over his features.
