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.”
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.
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?"
"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.
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...
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...?"
I'm doing alright! Though, I'm a little nervous today, since my grandma was kinda sick last night. She seems better this morning, but I just hope she doesn't have another bout.
Boreas observed the way Eater's behavior went back and forth before he responded, then he smirked a little at his question, "Hmm, well, let's see... The ninja was a good friend of mine too--watching my back and making sure I didn't goof up too much back in the day. After getting that arm back under control, the ninja stuck around and helped us make a working one. Who knew ninjas had knowledge of magic prosthetics? ...I can go even further than that, too--eventually, after looking out for me over the years, this ninja went on to train a group of smaller ninjas in the art of 'watching people's backs.' ...Well, not all of them were ninjas yet, but most of them were pretty comparable."
The receptionist look between the small group, first to the Elemental and then to the ghost and last was the Fairfin " I-It's just I n-ever talk with g-hosts before... I-Im sure you're nice p-eople but just don't hunt me o-k..." She look to the phone and then back at them " I-I guess so?... I only read about F-airfins... you can communicate though Telepathy by magic?... phone is s-ending a m-essage though Technology "
(Sorry for the late response, I went and got a snack~ I'm doing okayyyy, I’m going back and forth between being freezing cold and too hot, but I’m okay. xD)
When Jasmine pointed out how her face gave her away, Crystal wasn’t sure how to respond, it only made her face flush more.
Her eyes shifted back and forth between Jason and the woman, then over to the Midnight Walker when he added to the conversation. She studied him for a second but her attention was pulled back to the ones sitting at the same table as her when Jasmine snapped and looked her way.
“I..” Crystal stopped as Jason spoke again, biting at her lip, ‘they even bicker like family..’ she thought.
The girl once more glanced over at Ethen when he piped in, this time giving him a grateful look before trying to figure out how to explain for everything said.. She stared down for a minute before lifting her gaze and spilling anything she could think of,
“What is it you’re wanting to understand specifically? There’s a lot... But I also only know so much.. If you want to understand his corruption better, he’s had it for a long time, it gets worse with negative emotions, and seems to hate and hide away when faced with positive ones. One moment it can be fighting to take over, then the next it’s seemingly gone.. It’s like this is something so advanced it already has a complete mind of its own and it can somehow hide itself within him. And as you obviously know... the bracelets are the only thing keeping it all from consuming him entirely..” she paused as her voice wavered ever so slightly, but she fought it and kept going, “The bracelets are apparently what’s keeping his appearance stable too. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have looked as normal as he had. I was talking to a nurse today when I visited Crimson and she told me quite a bit about him as well.. Like that it’s possible it’s more aggressive if he’s in his dragon form. She also said the energy he exploded with yesterday was like something on the scale of chaos.. I don’t know what he is, and I don’t know who would, except maybe Crimson himself.. I just.. I haven’t asked.. but I can’t help but get the impression he’s dealt with an outburst like that before..”
She stopped and shook her head, setting her hands on her lap, “Now, as far as his weapon goes... I was talking to Arthur the other day and he mentioned something about how Soledormir would only give his “special” weapons to trusted followers...or family... I- I don’t know what that means or how it relates, or if it even does, but I don’t think one of these weapons would just be lying around for anyone to find.. He was saying something about how since Crimson is a descendent of the King Zitan that there was a lot of connections to Soledormir that made a lot of this likely it couldn’t be coincidence. And this is where we get into a whole realm of things I know little to nothing about..” She paused again, and it was a good thing her hands were hidden under the table, because they were trembling, “There’s also a pocket watch Crimson had, I have it now, but Arthur was telling me about how it was a little uncanny that he had it since it looked identical to the one Sol had when he pretended to be one of the Kings..” She shrugged a little and looked at the table top, “Aside from that, I also think it’s somehow connected to Crimson and his corruption, because yesterday it started chiming and acting very strange when he started losing control, then after he got his bracelet back and he burst into flames, it started acting normal again..”
She went quiet and took a breath, as if to processing everything she had said, “...That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.. Any questions?” She said, attempting to joke as she gave a halfhearted smile
Fiona looked to Sparky and the phone at first, wondering about the questions he was asking... She glanced to the receptionist, then to Terra. This hit her with a brief moment of realization, so she shook her head, getting herself back on track. "Hey--wait a second! Sparky, can we save investigating this phone stuff for later? We gotta find Osiris!" The Elemental looked to the map again, then took a step or two away before glancing to the receptionist lady again, "Thanks for the help! And trust me, you don't have anything to worry about!"
"That's... That's pretty cool," Dreameater mumbles, his mouth twitching a little, "So... you just have a ninja friend? I mean--you /are/ a Captain, so I guess it makes sense that'd you'd work with more secretive, sneaky people, but he's an actual /ninja?/" He thinks about that a little more, then adds, "Do you know any pirates, too?"
(Lol, I'm noticing it just barely fit too, there was a period at the end that's not there anymore and I'm pretty sure it's not just colors eating it. xD
"Y-yeah, I'm not going to haunt you, I-I don't think I can..." Terradream quickly mumbles his reply, hoping that'll at least reassure the receptionist some, but he smiles faintly in relief when Fiona remembers their goal.
Sparky perks his ears up as he looks between Fiona and the phone for a moment, and then quickly flies over to her, saying, "Alright! Yeah, we do," before glancing back at the receptionist again and waving. "Thank you, nervous desk lady!"
Terra just gives her a slight nod of the head and a simple "Thanks," before he likewise starts heading off towards the exit.
Noticing that she'd been quiet for a while, Boreas glanced down at Morning Glory, checking to be sure she was alright. But he didn't linger too long, as to not bring too much attention to her. "Yup!" Was all he said, along with a nod, in response to Eater's 'actual ninja' question. But when he brought up pirates, a grin came to the icy Elemental's face. "Heh, do I? I met quite the interesting pirate not too far back--a Captain, in fact. These weren't your normal seafaring pirates though... They scoured the skies and underground for treasure."
Morning Glory is simply listening to the conversation and watching her Nightmare partner, though she looks more like she's weakly staring off into space.
Meanwhile, the corner of Eater's lips turns up in a faint smirk, and he raises an eyebrow at Boreas. "Yeah? And did you arrest him and his crew, because pirates steal things? ... Or were they just treasure hunters that dress like pirates, because pirates are /way cooler than ninjas?/" he asks, that last part sounding more like a statement than a question.
Fiona smiled a little at Sparky, waved to the receptionist, then followed Terra to the exit, starting to float again as she did. "/Okay,/ I'm focused now! So, where are we looking first? The library, or his room?"
(Ahhh hey there!! I'll be there in just a bit - I've been helping paint for a summer camp again this year, and it's been hard to pick up my phone with paint covered hands X'D I'll be home and can catch up soon!)
"Mmm... W-well, it'd be really convenient if he happened to be at the library right now, I'm pretty s-sure I left some things there..." Terra starts, "Maybe we could start there?--A-actually, I've got a better idea," he looks to his Fairfin, "Sparky, while we go to the library, could you go to his room? That way, if he's not at one place, we can let each other know, and if he's at his room, you can l-let him know we're looking for him?"
"Sure thing, Terra!" Sparky says, saluting to Terra and smiling at both him and his girlfriend before zipping off down the hallway. "I'll be baaaaaaack!"
"Those pirates were troublemakers, that's for sure--not to mention that one of them was part cowboy. We had to teach them a lesson a few times... But eventualy they changed their ways for the better. Now they're off looking to find their own treasures, and even offer up what they find to others. ...Sometimes. They even lent me a hand once, and I've got to say, magical crystals are definitely /their/ strong suit." Boreas explained, "Yeah, 'course, they bickered with my ninja pals off and on, but that's just how it is. The perpetual, ninja-pirate war."
Dreameater huffs in disbelief when Boreas mentions that one pirate was part cowboy, but he rolls with it for now. "Hey, someday, do you think I could..." he starts to ask rather hopefully, but then his shoulders slump a little and his tone dampens as he thinks about his request more. "... No, I guess I shouldn't ever meet them, I'm--" And then he tenses up, balls his hands into fists, and grimaces as he stands up and rattles his chains at Boreas. "I'm a Nightmare! I don't care about ninjas or pirates! I'll kill them!! ... Yeah, /that'd/ be funny, since Catch likes ninjas, I can tell him I met some real ones /and then I killed them,/" Dreameater sneers.
... But he quickly stops and coils his chains back to himself again when he remembers who he's talking to. Again.
"Thanks, Sparky!" Fiona called to the ghost Fairfin as he zipped away. "That was a smart idea, Terra! ...I was wondering about that bag of important stuff from earlier..." She muttered, looking to the Dreamer beside her. "AH, but I need to stay focused! We gotta get to the library!" The Elemental kept floating through the halls and eventually started looking around, "We must be getting close, this is starting to look familiar already."
Boreas raised an eyebrow at Eater this time, waiting until he got through his sudden Nightmarish outburst and quieted down. //The more I'm talking with him, the more I'm leaning towards believing this 'soul' case...// The Captain shrugged, "We'll just have to see." He paused, looking towards the Nightmare... But a few other things in the cell with him were catching his eye, now. "Looks like you're really making a home for yourself in there, huh?"
Catch in return Squeezed his wife hand, it felt like it had been forever since they could just sit down and talk, it was something he needed " I like to check on her to " at the same time he worried about Eira to, she was there then Purity got attacked. For a moment the red head didn't say anything " I be fine... Im just tired and a lot happened, im still trying to get my own feelings under control but I should be fine " he wasn't sure of this himself and it was clear in his tone, he was still recovering from everything that happened however he was still hopeful, Catch now knew his brother was alive and even though linking their emotions was taxing to him it was worth it to fine the truth.
Catch look over his wife, they hadn't talk since the attack " are you sure you're ok? You were out with Purity and that monster attacked you before " his eyes held his concern
Terra gives Fiona a rather goofy smile when she compliments him, as he wasn't quite expecting that, but then he gets a bit more nervous when she brings up his bag. "U-uh..." he stutters, but then again she moves away from that fairly quickly as well. //I'm glad she didn't ask much more about that...// he thinks. "Yeah, i-it looks like it... I guess if he's not here, I can see if I left the bag here, at least..."
~~~~
Sparky wastes no time speeding his way through the palace, quickly making his way to Osiris' room--or even past it. "... Wait, was it this one, or the other one?" he asks himself out loud, going back a couple doors, "I think it was this one. ... Now how am I going to knock?" Even though he's got an idea that it won't work, Sparky slams his paws against the door, which has about as much force as someone lightly breathing on it and makes no sound at all, but then he gets an idea and flies off down the hall...
The young Nightmare slowly crosses his arms and cautiously, yet pridefully, puffs his chest out. "Y-yeah? It's my den, what do you care?" Eater snaps, casting a fast glance at the things he's collected--his action figures in a pile on the floor, his guitar propped up against the wall, the Iron Man helmet mini-fridge full of anti-vampire food... but he suddenlt remembers something that's missing here. "Hey, have you still got my box?"
"Yeah! We'll find both of them eventually." Fiona nodded with a slight smile. ...She still wanted to ask about that bag, but more importantly, she wanted to make sure she stayed focused after everything. Her mind was bouncing all around with so many questions and thoughts that were bugging her, and she knew Terra was likely feeling something similar.
And despite saying that the halls looked familiar, Fiona flew right past the door to the library, too. Thankfully, she was quick to stop. "...Waaait a minute..." She narrowed her eyes and quickly flew backwards until she caught sight of the door and Terra again. "/I went past it./" She declared the obvious. "...But we're here!"
Boreas eyed the 'den' as well. //For a den, it has quite a few similarities to a student's dorm room... Aside from the jail-room aesthetic and demonic carvings in the walls.// Then with Eater's question, he looked right at him. //...Of course. He wants to make an addition to it.// "Mmmmwell, I put it in a completely safe place, where no one would bother it. Ah, but to be honest, I'm not sure where that place would be right now. I can get it the next time I see it."
Eira searched Catch's face, recgonizing how tired and worn he was after all that had happened on his side. "I'm sorry... You can take it easy now. Weaver is alive, and I'm here. It'll be okay," she said comfortingly with a gentle smile. She gave her husband's hand a squeeze. "I'm not leaving your side again." At Catch's question, the shiftress breathed in deeply and nodded her head. "I'm... getting there. Honestly I... I feel terrible that I left Purity all alone, even after what we saw in the vision... and I ran off simply because I was lured away by an echo of my father's voice." She shuddered and held Catch's hand a little tighter. "The Abyss knew exactly what would catch me. Which also must confirm the fate of my parents... If the Abyss knew their voices, then surely he was responsible..." Eira murmured, swallowing a lump in her throat. "And... now Purity's in danger of... turning, maybe. I-I feel like it's all my fault," she said, ending in nearly a whisper. She glanced up at Catch, eyes growing vulnerable and fearful. "Is it?"
Upon recognizing the library doors, Terra slowed his pace some, though he completely stopped when he noticed that Fiona kept going. //... Uh...// he thinks, sincerely hoping that she'll notice and come back--which she does, thankfully. For now, he doesn't have anything more to say to her as he heads into the library, but he does ask Sparky, //Are you there yet?//
//Yeah, I was!// Sparky replies.
//You were?// Terra asks again.
//Yeah, but I needed something else, I'm gonna knock on his door.//
That makes Terra pause. //... You're a ghost... How're you going to knock on his door...?//
//I'm gonna hit it with something!// Sparky explains.
//With what? ...//
//With--no, not that... AH-HA! This'll do!//
//Sparky...?// Terra asks, his suspicion and slight concern very visible on his face.
~~~~
Now, after finding his weapon of choice and coming back to the door, Sparky holds an /amazing/ rubber chicken by its neck and lifts it over his head, prepping himself to bring it down like a mighty greatsword against Osiris' door...
Eater frowns and scrunches his face up at Boreas' reply, and huffs again, this time in annoyance. "... You're not going to give me my box back, are you?" he asks, "Why did I ever even give it to you in the first place? I don't remember... but I should've known better than to ask you to hold on to it for me!"
The small group stay quiet (mostly) as Crystal spoke. Jasmine a few times Mumbled a few times under her breath but all 3 look deep in thought with what the human girl had told them.
// I knew it, the Rumors are true, she likes that kid... poor girl, sounds like she end up with a mess // was Jasmine thoughts, her eyes widened with what Crystal said last " What?! Are you saying he might be some kind of spy or offspring of Soledormir?!"
Ethan started at the cereal pattern that he had made // .... its sound like it has a will of its own?... but some corruption as it taking over more has its own mind, its sound like a Parasite type but I could be wrong...// his thoughts then drift to a way to find out, he knew the midnight walker could look into someone eyes and see into their soul, but he never try it before and had heard stories like Nevaeh were they were driven mad after looking into someone eyes but that got him thinking about the last thing Crystal said and his wolf ears Twitched // one of the Kings told her that?... dose that mean Crimson is some how involved with Soledormir or...// his eyes Narrowed and he moved some of his cereal on the table // is he like Judas? //
-
" man, that sounds like some advance corruption... those Bracelets are some pretty good stuff to be holding whatever it is off " Jason thinks outloud, he slap his hand down on the table with what was said last " oh snap! I knew that Was one of Sol Cursed Weapons but for a king to say that! Dude you're boyfriend got problems " he made a face as Jasmine Shouted " I wouldn't jump on that Bandwagon just yet, yeah he could be one of those and If I remember correctly Sol did do some back stabbing with the uhh, Crystal dragon gems? I think I got there name right?" The Orange hair young man shrugged his shoulders before Continuing " I don't know to much about there History Qui probably would, she knows everything but! What I do know is there a lot of Speculations on Zitan, if he was really a good guy or not.." After saying this Jason jumped up slapping his hands on the table again " I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! "
Now it was Jasmine turned to jump with surprise at Jason's Sudden Shouting, " What even Jason! "
Jason didn't sit down he took his hands on put them on top of his head " Dude don't you see?! Sol doing it all over again! " he then looked to Crystal and then to Jasmine with wide eyes " Zitan was one of Sol forsaken lord right? He got ticked off at the kings for free him and now we got Crimson who a Descendant of that very same guy Sol had as a former General!"
After the Orange hair shape shifter spotted his speech, the first thing Jasmine did was softly Whack the boy on the back of the head " Jason calm down!" She snapped, one the boy sat down she then continued " well made he is but for all we know Zitan could have really been one of Soledormir offspring to, Moons know how many he had and that was so long ago we don't even know who could be a demon Spawn in sheep clothing... What Crimson did yesterday morning wasn't like anything I seen, it had Chaos all over it, if anything the kid could be a Descendant of Soledormir..."
Jason was rubbing the back of his head, he Frowned at the dragon shapeshifter " well yeah, but we still don't know a lot about him or what going on" he Mumble and then his eyes Narrowed with a new thought " or, he could be both! A descendant of Zitan who was actually a Descendant of Sol! Plot twists!"
Jasmine just roll her eyes, that what she was trying to get at but she let Jason go this time.
Ethan on the other hand been quite, thinking, but he finally spoke up " you said you had some kind of Pocket watch that reacted when Crimson blew up? Do you mind if I see it?"
Fiona followed Terra into the library, actually managing to open the door correctly the first time. "Oh, somebody fixed the door." She mumbled as she entered the library. The Elemental scanned the first floor for any signs of Osiris or the bag... And once she confirmed neither of them were on that floor, she looked to her ghostly boyfriend, noticing the look on his face. "I don't see 'em he--Uh... Hey... Everything okay?"
Before Sparky greatsword rubber chicken could hit the door, Osiris opened the door and tipped his head and look down at the ghost " Pardon me, do you need assistance?"
Boreas shrugged, "I never said that--I just offered to get it for you. I would have thrown it in the trash first thing. But I changed my mind before I did that. I can even tell you where it is, if you have to know. But I'm letting you know right now, you're going to want me to get it for you."
"Oh, dude, you were like five seconds away from getting beaten by a chicken!" Sparky cheerfully announces upon seeing Osiris.
~~~~
Terra frowns and answers in a mumble, "... Sparky's going to hit s-something against Osiris' door, and he's not telling me what he's using..."
//Terra! He's here! I almost beat him with a rubber chicken! He managed to open the door at /exactly/ the right time!// Sparky declares.
"... Apparently Osiris is at his room, b-because Sparky nearly just hit him with a rubber chicken, trying to find a way to knock on his door..." Terradream then clarifies, jabbing a thumb over his shoulder and back towards the door, "Y-you wanna go on ahead? I'll be right behind you, I'll just check where I was earlier..."
Eater scowls at Boreas, even growls quietly when the Captain tells him he would've tossed it in the trash. "Where is it? Somewhere cold and wet?" Eater snaps back.
Catch listed to his wife, he could feel her grief and hear it in her voice, he didn't snap at her but Understood her grief " shhh " the red head coo and took his hand and pulled Eira into a hug " I seen that thing to, I'm sure you had no way in knowing it was a trick... it isn't your fault what happened, it was that monsters. You didn't know "
Catch held Eira in his arms, he only had Compassion for her as he spoke " Eater went into Purity dream to Check on her, last I could tell she seem to have been getting better...we can go see for are selfs " he pulled away to look in the shapeshifter eyes and gave a small hopefully smile " well all get though this, Ok"
Osiris was Unfazed by this, he just look down at the ghost and blink a few times before saying " I see Master Sparky, you have Acquired one of the children toys or Jason's..." again the Butler inquires " did you need Assistance?"
Fiona just stared at Terra, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "He's gonna whack the door?" Then she got the full explanation, "Ohhh. That makes sense. ...There are chickens made of rubber?" She looked quite confused at that. But with what Terradream said last, the Elemental shook her head, "You'd have to carry that bag with your magic, right? I was thinking if we found it here, I could carry it, so you could take a break!"
Boreas was beginning to understand just what exactly that empty ice cream box meant to Eater. Or, just what he saw it as. "The opposite. It's in Fiona's hair."
"/Master/ Sparky?!" Sparky repeats almost in awe, but he does answer the question this time: "Nah, I don't, but Terra does, he can't access his pocket dimension as a ghost, and he's been trying to gather a lot of information today, and he just learned that his buddy Weaver is still alive inside his Nightmare, so Terra needs something to write things down on to organize his thoughts before he starts forgetting things. Do ya have a spare book he can use and something to write with?"
~~~
"Toys, I-I'm assuming..." Terra adds on to the whole rubber chicken topic, but then he smiles faintly at Fiona and rubs the back of his head. "Uh, yeah, I would, but... I mean--... Th-thank you..." he mutters, not wanting to make Fiona do everything, yet not wanting to tell her no either, since she clearly wants to. "... Well, I know I was up on one of the higher floors last, m-maybe the third or fourth one...? It's probably surrounded b-by books on the floor..."
Eira's breath caught and she wrapped her arms around Catch when he embraced her, realiing then how much she needed the hug. Her fretful and guilty emotions began to settle down, and she too ka deep breath, believing what the Dreamer said that it'd be okay. "Thank you Catch..." Eira pulled back to meet her husband's green eyes, giving him a faint smile in return, feeling warmer inside. "Yeah. She'll be okay... We'll make sure of it." She gave a glance toward the door. "It would be a good idea to check on her..."
Eater stares at Boreas with wide eyes when he tells the location of the ice cream box, and his mouth hangs open to match. "WHAT!?" the Nightmare practically shouts, rushing over to the prison bars and grabbing them, still staring at the Captain, "You've gotta be kidding me! Fiona's hair?! How!? Why?! You're not being serious!!"
Osiris just stood there Listening as the miniture ghost Rambled however when Sparky Mentioned that Weaver was still alive the Phoenix shapeshifter jaw dropped " come again Master? Did you say that Sir Weaver is still alive? "
Fiona smiled eagerly, but looked just a little more thoughtful when Terra brought up what floor he was on. "Do you remember what you were reading about? We can check the directory to figure out which floor!" The Elemental flew over to the board listing the info, and the two of them did just that.
Then they went up the stairs to the floor, once again avoiding the elevator, and found the bag just as Terra had predicted it--sitting, surrounded by books. Fiona may have briefly glanced at some of these books, but overall, she focused on what she was supposed to do. "Okay. Bag of /important stuff./" She mumbled a reminder to herself, being careful as she picked it up. "We got the thing!"
Dreamcatcher smiled grew with Eira words " she will, we all will " he followed her gaze over to the door and nodded " Let's go" he gets up and offered his hand to his wife ( i miss CatchEira x3)
Eira smiled warmly and took Catch's hand to stand up. They were about to leave the room, but she paused and gently pulled Catch towards her, surprising him with a sweet kiss on the lips. "I love you," she murmured with a smile, looking into his eyes. She then continued to walk with him to go see Purity.
"I'm completely serious." Boreas replied with a frown, staring right back at the Nightmare, "I didn't want to be going around carrying a couple of ice cream containers 24/7, so I took an opportunity where I saw it." He explained very briefly.
"That's why I'm saying you're going to want me to get it for you. Any other way, and you're likely to run into a hairy situation with more than one person." He stated rather bluntly.
Sparky casually nods his head. "Yep! Weaver's still alive, in fact he's with us right now! So like, Eater's been acting really strange for a Nightmare for a while now, and he's been killing people with kindness, so Catch used one of his super special magic abilities I didn't know about before to feel Eater's emotions while he was in Purity's dream, and Catch felt two people in Eater--Eater and Weaver! Nevaeh confirmed it too by also using some crazy kind of magic to look into his eyes, and she saw a blue star inside him--she saw Weaver's soul through Eater's eyes! Eater had said something about finding Weaver trapped in a dark crystal somewhere in Void's palace, he said he killed him again, but I think he didn't do a very good job of that..." After giving a very condensed version of some of what happened, Sparky gets a bit quieter, and asks, "... Actually, uh, you wouldn't happen to know of anything that could help him, would you...? It seems like he can influence Eater some, but he doesn't have a heart, and he feels whatever Eater feels..."
~~~~
"Alright, now to head to Osiris's room..." Terra thinks out loud, watching Fiona closely as she picks up the bag. "... I really hope I don't bother him with asking for a book, I just don't know who I'd ask for something li-like that... I-I also hope he has one too..."
"My box is in freakin' /Fiona's/ hair..." Eater moans, looking rather defeated by this fact, and he breathes out a sigh. (He does pick up on Boreas's subtle threat as well, and that's why he's a bit quieter now.) But, he pauses a moment, quietly contemplating other possible alternatives. "... Couldn't I find her and ask her nicely for it?" Eater asks, "Or I could get it while she's sleeping... It couldn't be that hard to find a box in her hair, could it?"
"Yeah!" Fiona agreed with Terra's vocal thoughts and started heading back the way they came. She glanced to the ghost, hearing his concerns. "...Hey! You're not bothering him! This is for some REALLY important stuff. I'm sure he'll get it!
And we're also in this GIANT palace with a HUGE library! I bet they've got LOADS of spare books! So, you don't have to worry--we just gotta ask!" She gave him a little smile.

Hey Fluffy! How're you? :3

Also I'mma fetch the last posts real quick
08 Jun, 2020, 6:48 pm
Hello!!
08 Jun, 2020, 6:49 pm
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.”
08 Jun, 2020, 6:49 pm
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
08 Jun, 2020, 6:50 pm
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
08 Jun, 2020, 6:50 pm
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.
08 Jun, 2020, 6:50 pm
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?"
08 Jun, 2020, 6:51 pm
"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.
08 Jun, 2020, 6:51 pm
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?"
08 Jun, 2020, 6:51 pm
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...?"
08 Jun, 2020, 6:53 pm
(I think that's all the posts)
08 Jun, 2020, 6:55 pm
(Looks like it!
I'm doing alright! Though, I'm a little nervous today, since my grandma was kinda sick last night. She seems better this morning, but I just hope she doesn't have another bout.
How're you guys doing?)
08 Jun, 2020, 6:55 pm
(...Morning. It's afternoon.
Afternoon is my morning, I guess. XD)
08 Jun, 2020, 7:11 pm
(Aww, I'm glad she's doing better, at least, I hope she doesn't get worse either :s
I'm doing better than I was yesterday~ I'm not feeling sick anymore XP )
08 Jun, 2020, 7:16 pm
(Yay! I'm glad you're feeling better too! ^v^
Hopefully that means today can just be a fun RP day.)
08 Jun, 2020, 7:25 pm
(Yee, I hope so too~ :3
It seems like it's gonna be a quiet day 'XD )
08 Jun, 2020, 7:30 pm
(It does. 'XD
...I guess should we wait a little while longer to see if anyone else'll show up, or should we start now?)
08 Jun, 2020, 7:33 pm
(I think we can just go ahead with Boreas, Glory, and Eater :P )
08 Jun, 2020, 7:34 pm
(Hi hi hi!)
08 Jun, 2020, 7:34 pm
(Hey Galaxy! :D )
08 Jun, 2020, 7:37 pm
(Galaxyyyyy!!

08 Jun, 2020, 7:43 pm
( I hope you're grandma feels better Fluffy, ill be praying for her and you all
Hi Galaxy!)
08 Jun, 2020, 7:43 pm
(I'm a bit on the slow side, have to help my mom with her job xp )
08 Jun, 2020, 7:52 pm
Boreas observed the way Eater's behavior went back and forth before he responded, then he smirked a little at his question, "Hmm, well, let's see... The ninja was a good friend of mine too--watching my back and making sure I didn't goof up too much back in the day. After getting that arm back under control, the ninja stuck around and helped us make a working one.
Who knew ninjas had knowledge of magic prosthetics?
...I can go even further than that, too--eventually, after looking out for me over the years, this ninja went on to train a group of smaller ninjas in the art of 'watching people's backs.'
...Well, not all of them were ninjas yet, but most of them were pretty comparable."
08 Jun, 2020, 7:56 pm
(Thanks, Shadow! I think things are going pretty well so far.
And that's alright! I hope things go smoothly for you guys, too. ^v^
Also, how're you doing, Galaxy?)
08 Jun, 2020, 7:57 pm
The receptionist look between the small group, first to the Elemental and then to the ghost and last was the Fairfin " I-It's just I n-ever talk with g-hosts before... I-Im sure you're nice p-eople but just don't hunt me o-k..."
She look to the phone and then back at them " I-I guess so?... I only read about F-airfins... you can communicate though Telepathy by magic?... phone is s-ending a m-essage though Technology "
08 Jun, 2020, 8:27 pm
(Sorry for the late response, I went and got a snack~
I'm doing okayyyy, I’m going back and forth between being freezing cold and too hot, but I’m okay. xD)
08 Jun, 2020, 8:32 pm
When Jasmine pointed out how her face gave her away, Crystal wasn’t sure how to respond, it only made her face flush more.
Her eyes shifted back and forth between Jason and the woman, then over to the Midnight Walker when he added to the conversation. She studied him for a second but her attention was pulled back to the ones sitting at the same table as her when Jasmine snapped and looked her way.
“I..” Crystal stopped as Jason spoke again, biting at her lip, ‘they even bicker like family..’ she thought.
The girl once more glanced over at Ethen when he piped in, this time giving him a grateful look before trying to figure out how to explain for everything said.. She stared down for a minute before lifting her gaze and spilling anything she could think of,
“What is it you’re wanting to understand specifically? There’s a lot... But I also only know so much.. If you want to understand his corruption better, he’s had it for a long time, it gets worse with negative emotions, and seems to hate and hide away when faced with positive ones. One moment it can be fighting to take over, then the next it’s seemingly gone.. It’s like this is something so advanced it already has a complete mind of its own and it can somehow hide itself within him. And as you obviously know... the bracelets are the only thing keeping it all from consuming him entirely..” she paused as her voice wavered ever so slightly, but she fought it and kept going, “The bracelets are apparently what’s keeping his appearance stable too. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have looked as normal as he had. I was talking to a nurse today when I visited Crimson and she told me quite a bit about him as well.. Like that it’s possible it’s more aggressive if he’s in his dragon form. She also said the energy he exploded with yesterday was like something on the scale of chaos.. I don’t know what he is, and I don’t know who would, except maybe Crimson himself.. I just.. I haven’t asked.. but I can’t help but get the impression he’s dealt with an outburst like that before..”
She stopped and shook her head, setting her hands on her lap, “Now, as far as his weapon goes... I was talking to Arthur the other day and he mentioned something about how Soledormir would only give his “special” weapons to trusted followers...or family... I- I don’t know what that means or how it relates, or if it even does, but I don’t think one of these weapons would just be lying around for anyone to find.. He was saying something about how since Crimson is a descendent of the King Zitan that there was a lot of connections to Soledormir that made a lot of this likely it couldn’t be coincidence. And this is where we get into a whole realm of things I know little to nothing about..” She paused again, and it was a good thing her hands were hidden under the table, because they were trembling, “There’s also a pocket watch Crimson had, I have it now, but Arthur was telling me about how it was a little uncanny that he had it since it looked identical to the one Sol had when he pretended to be one of the Kings..” She shrugged a little and looked at the table top, “Aside from that, I also think it’s somehow connected to Crimson and his corruption, because yesterday it started chiming and acting very strange when he started losing control, then after he got his bracelet back and he burst into flames, it started acting normal again..”
She went quiet and took a breath, as if to processing everything she had said, “...That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.. Any questions?” She said, attempting to joke as she gave a halfhearted smile
08 Jun, 2020, 8:32 pm
Fiona looked to Sparky and the phone at first, wondering about the questions he was asking... She glanced to the receptionist, then to Terra. This hit her with a brief moment of realization, so she shook her head, getting herself back on track. "Hey--wait a second! Sparky, can we save investigating this phone stuff for later? We gotta find Osiris!" The Elemental looked to the map again, then took a step or two away before glancing to the receptionist lady again, "Thanks for the help! And trust me, you don't have anything to worry about!"
08 Jun, 2020, 8:32 pm
(Holy moly I can't believe that all fit XD)
08 Jun, 2020, 8:37 pm
(WHOA.
That was awesome. XD
I'm glad you're doing okay! I hope your temperature gets a little more stable, though. That doesn't sound like fun. :s)
08 Jun, 2020, 8:38 pm
(Galaxy comes back in with a text wall XDD
That's the worst when you're bouncing between one extreme and the other. I hope that stops for ya so you can at least be comfortable ':D )
08 Jun, 2020, 8:40 pm
"That's... That's pretty cool," Dreameater mumbles, his mouth twitching a little, "So... you just have a ninja friend? I mean--you /are/ a Captain, so I guess it makes sense that'd you'd work with more secretive, sneaky people, but he's an actual /ninja?/" He thinks about that a little more, then adds, "Do you know any pirates, too?"
08 Jun, 2020, 9:19 pm
(Lol, I'm noticing it just barely fit too, there was a period at the end that's not there anymore and I'm pretty sure it's not just colors eating it. xD
Ah, thanks guys. Me too. x3)
08 Jun, 2020, 9:28 pm
"Y-yeah, I'm not going to haunt you, I-I don't think I can..." Terradream quickly mumbles his reply, hoping that'll at least reassure the receptionist some, but he smiles faintly in relief when Fiona remembers their goal.
Sparky perks his ears up as he looks between Fiona and the phone for a moment, and then quickly flies over to her, saying, "Alright! Yeah, we do," before glancing back at the receptionist again and waving. "Thank you, nervous desk lady!"
Terra just gives her a slight nod of the head and a simple "Thanks," before he likewise starts heading off towards the exit.
08 Jun, 2020, 9:55 pm
Noticing that she'd been quiet for a while, Boreas glanced down at Morning Glory, checking to be sure she was alright.
But he didn't linger too long, as to not bring too much attention to her. "Yup!" Was all he said, along with a nod, in response to Eater's 'actual ninja' question. But when he brought up pirates, a grin came to the icy Elemental's face. "Heh, do I? I met quite the interesting pirate not too far back--a Captain, in fact. These weren't your normal seafaring pirates though... They scoured the skies and underground for treasure."
08 Jun, 2020, 10:12 pm
Morning Glory is simply listening to the conversation and watching her Nightmare partner, though she looks more like she's weakly staring off into space.
Meanwhile, the corner of Eater's lips turns up in a faint smirk, and he raises an eyebrow at Boreas. "Yeah? And did you arrest him and his crew, because pirates steal things? ... Or were they just treasure hunters that dress like pirates, because pirates are /way cooler than ninjas?/" he asks, that last part sounding more like a statement than a question.
08 Jun, 2020, 10:33 pm
Fiona smiled a little at Sparky, waved to the receptionist, then followed Terra to the exit, starting to float again as she did. "/Okay,/ I'm focused now! So, where are we looking first? The library, or his room?"
08 Jun, 2020, 10:49 pm
(Ahhh hey there!! I'll be there in just a bit - I've been helping paint for a summer camp again this year, and it's been hard to pick up my phone with paint covered hands X'D I'll be home and can catch up soon!)
08 Jun, 2020, 10:51 pm
"Mmm... W-well, it'd be really convenient if he happened to be at the library right now, I'm pretty s-sure I left some things there..." Terra starts, "Maybe we could start there?--A-actually, I've got a better idea," he looks to his Fairfin, "Sparky, while we go to the library, could you go to his room? That way, if he's not at one place, we can let each other know, and if he's at his room, you can l-let him know we're looking for him?"
"Sure thing, Terra!" Sparky says, saluting to Terra and smiling at both him and his girlfriend before zipping off down the hallway. "I'll be baaaaaaack!"
08 Jun, 2020, 10:52 pm
"Those pirates were troublemakers, that's for sure--not to mention that one of them was part cowboy. We had to teach them a lesson a few times... But eventualy they changed their ways for the better.
Now they're off looking to find their own treasures, and even offer up what they find to others.
...Sometimes.
They even lent me a hand once, and I've got to say, magical crystals are definitely /their/ strong suit." Boreas explained,
"Yeah, 'course, they bickered with my ninja pals off and on, but that's just how it is. The perpetual, ninja-pirate war."
08 Jun, 2020, 10:53 pm
(Hey Fade! That's alright! It's cool that you're helping out with that. X)
08 Jun, 2020, 10:54 pm
(Hi Fade! Good to see ya! :D )
08 Jun, 2020, 11:16 pm
Dreameater huffs in disbelief when Boreas mentions that one pirate was part cowboy, but he rolls with it for now. "Hey, someday, do you think I could..." he starts to ask rather hopefully, but then his shoulders slump a little and his tone dampens as he thinks about his request more. "... No, I guess I shouldn't ever meet them, I'm--" And then he tenses up, balls his hands into fists, and grimaces as he stands up and rattles his chains at Boreas. "I'm a Nightmare! I don't care about ninjas or pirates! I'll kill them!! ... Yeah, /that'd/ be funny, since Catch likes ninjas, I can tell him I met some real ones /and then I killed them,/" Dreameater sneers.
... But he quickly stops and coils his chains back to himself again when he remembers who he's talking to. Again.
08 Jun, 2020, 11:43 pm
"Thanks, Sparky!" Fiona called to the ghost Fairfin as he zipped away.
"That was a smart idea, Terra!
...I was wondering about that bag of important stuff from earlier..." She muttered, looking to the Dreamer beside her.
"AH, but I need to stay focused! We gotta get to the library!" The Elemental kept floating through the halls and eventually started looking around, "We must be getting close, this is starting to look familiar already."
08 Jun, 2020, 11:46 pm
(Im finally off work! Ill be home soon but will catch up in the car and start working on replys)
09 Jun, 2020, 12:22 am
Boreas raised an eyebrow at Eater this time, waiting until he got through his sudden Nightmarish outburst and quieted down.
//The more I'm talking with him, the more I'm leaning towards believing this 'soul' case...//
The Captain shrugged, "We'll just have to see." He paused, looking towards the Nightmare... But a few other things in the cell with him were catching his eye, now.
"Looks like you're really making a home for yourself in there, huh?"
09 Jun, 2020, 12:57 am
Catch in return Squeezed his wife hand, it felt like it had been forever since they could just sit down and talk, it was something he needed " I like to check on her to " at the same time he worried about Eira to, she was there then Purity got attacked. For a moment the red head didn't say anything " I be fine... Im just tired and a lot happened, im still trying to get my own feelings under control but I should be fine " he wasn't sure of this himself and it was clear in his tone, he was still recovering from everything that happened however he was still hopeful, Catch now knew his brother was alive and even though linking their emotions was taxing to him it was worth it to fine the truth.
Catch look over his wife, they hadn't talk since the attack " are you sure you're ok? You were out with Purity and that monster attacked you before " his eyes held his concern
09 Jun, 2020, 1:10 am
Terra gives Fiona a rather goofy smile when she compliments him, as he wasn't quite expecting that, but then he gets a bit more nervous when she brings up his bag. "U-uh..." he stutters, but then again she moves away from that fairly quickly as well. //I'm glad she didn't ask much more about that...// he thinks. "Yeah, i-it looks like it... I guess if he's not here, I can see if I left the bag here, at least..."
~~~~
Sparky wastes no time speeding his way through the palace, quickly making his way to Osiris' room--or even past it. "... Wait, was it this one, or the other one?" he asks himself out loud, going back a couple doors, "I think it was this one.
... Now how am I going to knock?"
Even though he's got an idea that it won't work, Sparky slams his paws against the door, which has about as much force as someone lightly breathing on it and makes no sound at all, but then he gets an idea and flies off down the hall...
09 Jun, 2020, 1:25 am
The young Nightmare slowly crosses his arms and cautiously, yet pridefully, puffs his chest out. "Y-yeah? It's my den, what do you care?" Eater snaps, casting a fast glance at the things he's collected--his action figures in a pile on the floor, his guitar propped up against the wall, the Iron Man helmet mini-fridge full of anti-vampire food... but he suddenlt remembers something that's missing here. "Hey, have you still got my box?"
09 Jun, 2020, 1:26 am
"Yeah! We'll find both of them eventually." Fiona nodded with a slight smile.
...She still wanted to ask about that bag, but more importantly, she wanted to make sure she stayed focused after everything. Her mind was bouncing all around with so many questions and thoughts that were bugging her, and she knew Terra was likely feeling something similar.
And despite saying that the halls looked familiar, Fiona flew right past the door to the library, too. Thankfully, she was quick to stop. "...Waaait a minute..." She narrowed her eyes and quickly flew backwards until she caught sight of the door and Terra again.
"/I went past it./" She declared the obvious. "...But we're here!"
09 Jun, 2020, 1:39 am
Boreas eyed the 'den' as well.
//For a den, it has quite a few similarities to a student's dorm room...
Aside from the jail-room aesthetic and demonic carvings in the walls.// Then with Eater's question, he looked right at him.
//...Of course. He wants to make an addition to it.//
"Mmmmwell, I put it in a completely safe place, where no one would bother it.
Ah, but to be honest, I'm not sure where that place would be right now. I can get it the next time I see it."
09 Jun, 2020, 1:52 am
Eira searched Catch's face, recgonizing how tired and worn he was after all that had happened on his side. "I'm sorry... You can take it easy now. Weaver is alive, and I'm here. It'll be okay," she said comfortingly with a gentle smile. She gave her husband's hand a squeeze. "I'm not leaving your side again."
At Catch's question, the shiftress breathed in deeply and nodded her head. "I'm... getting there. Honestly I... I feel terrible that I left Purity all alone, even after what we saw in the vision... and I ran off simply because I was lured away by an echo of my father's voice." She shuddered and held Catch's hand a little tighter. "The Abyss knew exactly what would catch me. Which also must confirm the fate of my parents... If the Abyss knew their voices, then surely he was responsible..." Eira murmured, swallowing a lump in her throat.
"And... now Purity's in danger of... turning, maybe. I-I feel like it's all my fault," she said, ending in nearly a whisper. She glanced up at Catch, eyes growing vulnerable and fearful. "Is it?"
09 Jun, 2020, 2:23 am
Upon recognizing the library doors, Terra slowed his pace some, though he completely stopped when he noticed that Fiona kept going. //... Uh...// he thinks, sincerely hoping that she'll notice and come back--which she does, thankfully. For now, he doesn't have anything more to say to her as he heads into the library, but he does ask Sparky, //Are you there yet?//
//Yeah, I was!// Sparky replies.
//You were?// Terra asks again.
//Yeah, but I needed something else, I'm gonna knock on his door.//
That makes Terra pause. //... You're a ghost... How're you going to knock on his door...?//
//I'm gonna hit it with something!// Sparky explains.
//With what? ...//
//With--no, not that... AH-HA! This'll do!//
//Sparky...?// Terra asks, his suspicion and slight concern very visible on his face.
~~~~
Now, after finding his weapon of choice and coming back to the door, Sparky holds an /amazing/ rubber chicken by its neck and lifts it over his head, prepping himself to bring it down like a mighty greatsword against Osiris' door...
09 Jun, 2020, 2:34 am
Eater frowns and scrunches his face up at Boreas' reply, and huffs again, this time in annoyance. "... You're not going to give me my box back, are you?" he asks, "Why did I ever even give it to you in the first place? I don't remember... but I should've known better than to ask you to hold on to it for me!"
09 Jun, 2020, 2:40 am
The small group stay quiet (mostly) as Crystal spoke.
Jasmine a few times Mumbled a few times under her breath but all 3 look deep in thought with what the human girl had told them.
// I knew it, the Rumors are true, she likes that kid... poor girl, sounds like she end up with a mess // was Jasmine thoughts, her eyes widened with what Crystal said last " What?! Are you saying he might be some kind of spy or offspring of Soledormir?!"
Ethan started at the cereal pattern that he had made // .... its sound like it has a will of its own?... but some corruption as it taking over more has its own mind, its sound like a Parasite type but I could be wrong...// his thoughts then drift to a way to find out, he knew the midnight walker could look into someone eyes and see into their soul, but he never try it before and had heard stories like Nevaeh were they were driven mad after looking into someone eyes but that got him thinking about the last thing Crystal said and his wolf ears Twitched // one of the Kings told her that?... dose that mean Crimson is some how involved with Soledormir or...// his eyes Narrowed and he moved some of his cereal on the table // is he like Judas? //
-
" man, that sounds like some advance corruption... those Bracelets are some pretty good stuff to be holding whatever it is off " Jason thinks outloud, he slap his hand down on the table with what was said last " oh snap! I knew that Was one of Sol Cursed Weapons but for a king to say that! Dude you're boyfriend got problems " he made a face as Jasmine Shouted " I wouldn't jump on that Bandwagon just yet, yeah he could be one of those and If I remember correctly Sol did do some back stabbing with the uhh, Crystal dragon gems? I think I got there name right?" The Orange hair young man shrugged his shoulders before Continuing " I don't know to much about there History Qui probably would, she knows everything but! What I do know is there a lot of Speculations on Zitan, if he was really a good guy or not.." After saying this Jason jumped up slapping his hands on the table again " I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! "
09 Jun, 2020, 2:41 am
Now it was Jasmine turned to jump with surprise at Jason's Sudden Shouting, " What even Jason! "
Jason didn't sit down he took his hands on put them on top of his head " Dude don't you see?! Sol doing it all over again! " he then looked to Crystal and then to Jasmine with wide eyes " Zitan was one of Sol forsaken lord right? He got ticked off at the kings for free him and now we got Crimson who a Descendant of that very same guy Sol had as a former General!"
After the Orange hair shape shifter spotted his speech, the first thing Jasmine did was softly Whack the boy on the back of the head " Jason calm down!" She snapped, one the boy sat down she then continued " well made he is but for all we know Zitan could have really been one of Soledormir offspring to, Moons know how many he had and that was so long ago we don't even know who could be a demon Spawn in sheep clothing... What Crimson did yesterday morning wasn't like anything I seen, it had Chaos all over it, if anything the kid could be a Descendant of Soledormir..."
Jason was rubbing the back of his head, he Frowned at the dragon shapeshifter " well yeah, but we still don't know a lot about him or what going on" he Mumble and then his eyes Narrowed with a new thought " or, he could be both! A descendant of Zitan who was actually a Descendant of Sol! Plot twists!"
Jasmine just roll her eyes, that what she was trying to get at but she let Jason go this time.
Ethan on the other hand been quite, thinking, but he finally spoke up " you said you had some kind of Pocket watch that reacted when Crimson blew up? Do you mind if I see it?"

Fiona followed Terra into the library, actually managing to open the door correctly the first time. "Oh, somebody fixed the door." She mumbled as she entered the library. The Elemental scanned the first floor for any signs of Osiris or the bag... And once she confirmed neither of them were on that floor, she looked to her ghostly boyfriend, noticing the look on his face.
"I don't see 'em he--Uh... Hey... Everything okay?"
09 Jun, 2020, 2:49 am
(*KABOOM*)

09 Jun, 2020, 3:03 am
Before Sparky greatsword rubber chicken could hit the door, Osiris opened the door and tipped his head and look down at the ghost " Pardon me, do you need assistance?"
09 Jun, 2020, 3:03 am
( i fixed it)
09 Jun, 2020, 3:15 am

09 Jun, 2020, 3:30 am
Boreas shrugged, "I never said that--I just offered to get it for you.
I would have thrown it in the trash first thing. But I changed my mind before I did that.
I can even tell you where it is, if you have to know.
But I'm letting you know right now, you're going to want me to get it for you."
09 Jun, 2020, 3:38 am
"Oh, dude, you were like five seconds away from getting beaten by a chicken!" Sparky cheerfully announces upon seeing Osiris.
~~~~
Terra frowns and answers in a mumble, "... Sparky's going to hit s-something against Osiris' door, and he's not telling me what he's using..."
//Terra! He's here! I almost beat him with a rubber chicken! He managed to open the door at /exactly/ the right time!// Sparky declares.
"... Apparently Osiris is at his room, b-because Sparky nearly just hit him with a rubber chicken, trying to find a way to knock on his door..." Terradream then clarifies, jabbing a thumb over his shoulder and back towards the door, "Y-you wanna go on ahead? I'll be right behind you, I'll just check where I was earlier..."
09 Jun, 2020, 3:41 am
( im back and that was great xD )
09 Jun, 2020, 3:43 am
Eater scowls at Boreas, even growls quietly when the Captain tells him he would've tossed it in the trash. "Where is it? Somewhere cold and wet?" Eater snaps back.
09 Jun, 2020, 3:56 am
Catch listed to his wife, he could feel her grief and hear it in her voice, he didn't snap at her but Understood her grief " shhh " the red head coo and took his hand and pulled Eira into a hug " I seen that thing to, I'm sure you had no way in knowing it was a trick... it isn't your fault what happened, it was that monsters. You didn't know "
Catch held Eira in his arms, he only had Compassion for her as he spoke " Eater went into Purity dream to Check on her, last I could tell she seem to have been getting better...we can go see for are selfs " he pulled away to look in the shapeshifter eyes and gave a small hopefully smile " well all get though this, Ok"
09 Jun, 2020, 4:01 am
Osiris was Unfazed by this, he just look down at the ghost and blink a few times before saying " I see Master Sparky, you have Acquired one of the children toys or Jason's..." again the Butler inquires " did you need Assistance?"
09 Jun, 2020, 4:01 am
Fiona just stared at Terra, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "He's gonna whack the door?"
Then she got the full explanation, "Ohhh. That makes sense.
...There are chickens made of rubber?" She looked quite confused at that. But with what Terradream said last, the Elemental shook her head, "You'd have to carry that bag with your magic, right? I was thinking if we found it here, I could carry it, so you could take a break!"
09 Jun, 2020, 4:11 am
Boreas was beginning to understand just what exactly that empty ice cream box meant to Eater. Or, just what he saw it as.
"The opposite. It's in Fiona's hair."
09 Jun, 2020, 4:34 am
"/Master/ Sparky?!" Sparky repeats almost in awe, but he does answer the question this time: "Nah, I don't, but Terra does, he can't access his pocket dimension as a ghost, and he's been trying to gather a lot of information today, and he just learned that his buddy Weaver is still alive inside his Nightmare, so Terra needs something to write things down on to organize his thoughts before he starts forgetting things. Do ya have a spare book he can use and something to write with?"
~~~
"Toys, I-I'm assuming..." Terra adds on to the whole rubber chicken topic, but then he smiles faintly at Fiona and rubs the back of his head. "Uh, yeah, I would, but... I mean--... Th-thank you..." he mutters, not wanting to make Fiona do everything, yet not wanting to tell her no either, since she clearly wants to. "... Well, I know I was up on one of the higher floors last, m-maybe the third or fourth one...? It's probably surrounded b-by books on the floor..."
09 Jun, 2020, 4:36 am
Eira's breath caught and she wrapped her arms around Catch when he embraced her, realiing then how much she needed the hug. Her fretful and guilty emotions began to settle down, and she too ka deep breath, believing what the Dreamer said that it'd be okay. "Thank you Catch..." Eira pulled back to meet her husband's green eyes, giving him a faint smile in return, feeling warmer inside. "Yeah. She'll be okay... We'll make sure of it." She gave a glance toward the door. "It would be a good idea to check on her..."
09 Jun, 2020, 4:49 am
Eater stares at Boreas with wide eyes when he tells the location of the ice cream box, and his mouth hangs open to match. "WHAT!?" the Nightmare practically shouts, rushing over to the prison bars and grabbing them, still staring at the Captain, "You've gotta be kidding me! Fiona's hair?! How!? Why?! You're not being serious!!"
09 Jun, 2020, 4:49 am
Osiris just stood there Listening as the miniture ghost Rambled however when Sparky Mentioned that Weaver was still alive the Phoenix shapeshifter jaw dropped " come again Master? Did you say that Sir Weaver is still alive? "
09 Jun, 2020, 4:51 am

Fiona smiled eagerly, but looked just a little more thoughtful when Terra brought up what floor he was on. "Do you remember what you were reading about? We can check the directory to figure out which floor!"
The Elemental flew over to the board listing the info, and the two of them did just that.
Then they went up the stairs to the floor, once again avoiding the elevator, and found the bag just as Terra had predicted it--sitting, surrounded by books. Fiona may have briefly glanced at some of these books, but overall, she focused on what she was supposed to do. "Okay. Bag of /important stuff./" She mumbled a reminder to herself, being careful as she picked it up.
"We got the thing!"
09 Jun, 2020, 5:03 am
Dreamcatcher smiled grew with Eira words " she will, we all will " he followed her gaze over to the door and nodded " Let's go" he gets up and offered his hand to his wife
( i miss CatchEira x3)
09 Jun, 2020, 5:12 am
Eira smiled warmly and took Catch's hand to stand up. They were about to leave the room, but she paused and gently pulled Catch towards her, surprising him with a sweet kiss on the lips. "I love you," she murmured with a smile, looking into his eyes. She then continued to walk with him to go see Purity.
09 Jun, 2020, 5:20 am
"I'm completely serious." Boreas replied with a frown, staring right back at the Nightmare, "I didn't want to be going around carrying a couple of ice cream containers 24/7, so I took an opportunity where I saw it." He explained very briefly.
"That's why I'm saying you're going to want me to get it for you.
Any other way, and you're likely to run into a hairy situation with more than one person." He stated rather bluntly.
09 Jun, 2020, 5:21 am
Sparky casually nods his head. "Yep! Weaver's still alive, in fact he's with us right now! So like, Eater's been acting really strange for a Nightmare for a while now, and he's been killing people with kindness, so Catch used one of his super special magic abilities I didn't know about before to feel Eater's emotions while he was in Purity's dream, and Catch felt two people in Eater--Eater and Weaver! Nevaeh confirmed it too by also using some crazy kind of magic to look into his eyes, and she saw a blue star inside him--she saw Weaver's soul through Eater's eyes! Eater had said something about finding Weaver trapped in a dark crystal somewhere in Void's palace, he said he killed him again, but I think he didn't do a very good job of that..."
After giving a very condensed version of some of what happened, Sparky gets a bit quieter, and asks, "... Actually, uh, you wouldn't happen to know of anything that could help him, would you...? It seems like he can influence Eater some, but he doesn't have a heart, and he feels whatever Eater feels..."
~~~~
"Alright, now to head to Osiris's room..." Terra thinks out loud, watching Fiona closely as she picks up the bag. "... I really hope I don't bother him with asking for a book, I just don't know who I'd ask for something li-like that... I-I also hope he has one too..."
09 Jun, 2020, 5:25 am
Catch was indeed Surprise but he like that kind " I love you to" he Whispered back, the prince held his wife hand and walked with her.
Purity was Located on the floor below them
09 Jun, 2020, 5:25 am
(Im have a hard time staying awake)
09 Jun, 2020, 5:39 am
"My box is in freakin' /Fiona's/ hair..." Eater moans, looking rather defeated by this fact, and he breathes out a sigh. (He does pick up on Boreas's subtle threat as well, and that's why he's a bit quieter now.) But, he pauses a moment, quietly contemplating other possible alternatives. "... Couldn't I find her and ask her nicely for it?" Eater asks, "Or I could get it while she's sleeping... It couldn't be that hard to find a box in her hair, could it?"
09 Jun, 2020, 5:40 am
(You should go to sleep Shadow~ We can call it a night!)
09 Jun, 2020, 5:42 am
"Yeah!" Fiona agreed with Terra's vocal thoughts and started heading back the way they came. She glanced to the ghost, hearing his concerns. "...Hey! You're not bothering him! This is for some REALLY important stuff. I'm sure he'll get it!
And we're also in this GIANT palace with a HUGE library! I bet they've got LOADS of spare books! So, you don't have to worry--we just gotta ask!" She gave him a little smile.
09 Jun, 2020, 6:02 am
(I think Shadow's dead 'XD )
09 Jun, 2020, 6:03 am
(Yeah, it seems that way. 'XD)
