Helloooo!

*sneezes*
Been a while since I randomly commented on one of these

IT'SARADIANT!

*Gasp* It's a Radiant!! Hi!

And BLESS YOU!

Aradiant
That's my name now

REPOST TIME!

The Nightmare slowly nods his head, and seems to start relaxing more. "... Yeah, I think so," Eater replies, "At least, it'll do for now... Maybe I could get a special table for it at some point, but this'll do for now... Now I just need something for Catch, Eira, and Terra."

After saying that, however, a realization hits him--he /does/ have a trophy from Terra already... And, with a lingering grin on his face, he shape-shifts to his true form and uses his chains to take Terra's skull off of his skull face, placing it right beside and slightly on top of the empty box of Purity ice cream...

Eater steps back and admires his small trophy collection one more time--the box he used to pretend to eat Purity and the skull of the friend he devoured on the night he turned--and while he holds his head up proudly at first, as he stares into the skull's empty eye sockets, it isn't long before he lowers his head back down and starts to pin his ears back...

Again, Boreas observed Eater's actions, not really showing any hints of emotion. The whole scene was odd, but at this point, what wasn't odd? At the very least, he was thankful Eater seemed to have calmed down.
He watched the Nightmare shift to his true form and take off Terra's skull--it didn't take long for him to guess whose it was. He stayed silent until Eater started to pin his ears back.
"...That doesn't look so good, huh?"

"... Y-yeah... I guess so..." Terra mumbles, blinking a couple times at Fiona after her exclamation, though he soon goes back to looking more serious. "I d-don't know what we'd do about that... I just don't know..."

The ghostly Dreamer goes quiet after this, thinking intently over what he's learned lately for any other shred of information on Nightmares he might have forgotten. In bringing up the ice cream place, and the events that followed, his mind goes back to Malice again... "... Malice told me... It was a woman who created him, who created the Nightmares... H-he called her his mother, and told me her name was Shoji..." he says and writes that down, though he isn't really sure where to take the conversation from there.

"...Well, we've already made a lot of progress with figuring things out--we'll figure this out, too!" Fiona stated confidently, despite still looking like she was in deep thought. She wrote down a few more things, but again... A bit of a troubled look started to come across her face...

That is, until Terra mentioned something else he knew, "HUH? Malice told you that?!
Nightmares... Have a /MOM?!?/" She looked at him, absolutely stunned.
...Even as she wrote it down, she still looked unnerved. "...When did /that/ happen?"

Malice owe mockery from the past Echoed in his mind, some of the words Waker spat was the same he had used before on his victims, even the way the Frost ancient was Assaulting him was very Similar to what he had done to her over a year ago, just before he himself would have gotten involved with the key hunters...

Had he really Change so much? It was true, not long ago Waker wouldn't have ever Dared to speak Illy about the king in front of him, let alone step on his face but now?... after coming face to face with the blood Sapphire and then what happened between him and Void, Mal felt Hollow but in a he never experienced before, sure Nightmares were hollow chest but this was definitely different, he did have a heart but it felt like it was Weighing him down... Malice was Experiencing shame and guilt and what Waker was saying wasn't helping that... he remembered beginning Crimson to kill him, and now he knew what his victim felt when he did the very same thing to them.... he remembered saving himself when Void made the offer to save Judas instead, even though he knew Judas would have willing traded himself, it was because of Judas's Selflessness that Malice now hated what he chosen, that he sold his only friend to save himself...

He couldn't go to Alex for answer, not like he had before... Mal knew he try to kill her again and it was that thought that hurt more then the chain that bind him now and it was then he finally realized something//... have I always been a puppet?....// looking back he never noticed the Strings, until the Abyss pulled them, the truth was he didn't care back then, he would have felt nothing with trading Judas life for his own, he wouldn't have felt the Terrifying fear of begging like his vitamins had done, and he would never resist an order from the Abyss and now Feared just what could Soledormir make him do against a will he never had before?

Catch understand that this was hard on Eira, he could feel it coming off her but there was more then just those feelings of doubt and shame, he could feel a flier of Courage, the Dreamer prince stepped beside his wife and Gently put his good arm around her so that she knows she didn't have to do this alone " im right here for you. " he Whispered softly in her ear

Serenity scrunches up her face a little when the nurse answers her, but with her latter comments, the Fairfin smiles, quietly hopeful and optimistic that things might turn out better for her partner, and this will lead to better things for other unfortunate victims of the Abyss.

She can't help but turn a little pink at how Catch wraps his arm around Eira. //Aw, how sweet...// the Fairfin briefly thinks, but quickly attempts to subtly clear her throat to get her mind back on track.

Eira blinked in surprise, the happy kind, when Catch put his arm around her and whispered to her. She smiled warmly up at him. "Thank you, Catch," she murmured back, resting her head against his. The shiftress had felt nervous to talk about her condition, especially with everyone listening, but her husband and Serenity both seemed encouraging and caring despite it, and it made the shiftress's heart flutter warmly.

The Vaseterm nurse took a moment to finish jotting down notes, and then continued talking, reviewing her notes aloud. "I see. The corruption certainly appears to have had an effect, but it hasn't succeeded in taking over like previous cases that have been recorded. There are no unique situations concerning your species, magic, or stamina that set you apart from previous victims, which leaves us no footing in answering why you of all people would be spared from the corruption's dark deeds. Perhaps the culprit beast did not inject enough darkness into you? Perhaps it mis-aimed... I take it you have not encountered the monster since it first attacked. I can only assume it would've tried to finish you off if so. You're fortunate you didn't encounter it when it found your friend today."

"Actually, uh... I did encounter it again." Eira hugged herself with her arms, releasing a shuddering breath. She looked to Catch nervously, not liking the memories behind the event. "The Abyss... took Catch captive, and took him to a dark palace..... We all went there to rescue him, and... I encountered the Abyss there. We fought it to get past, but it didn't... actively try to kill me... I think." She paused in anxious thought, wringing her hands and fearing what might happen if the Abyss did try to come and finish her off.

Jason face slowly light up as Crystal gave her Suggestion, he was grinding at made Finger guns at the human girl " lady C, I think you might be on to something!"
Ethan thought the girl came up with a Logical Suggestion but wasn't sure why Jason was so excited.
" OK! What do we know about Scarlet and her blood bank? " Jason started "I get the feeling he really doesn't like Nightmares from how he was taking that evening... maybe we could use a Nightmare to draw her out but I only know of Eater and well...I know lady V let's him walk around but I don't know if he help or not" he then looked to the human girl again, he was there when Crimson and Crystal had their touching moments, were he dropped the sword and hug Crystal, he Narrowed his eyes coming up with a different idea " girls get jealous easily, I bet- Ouch! " he Flinch when Jasmine smack the Jason on the back of the head " we do not!" She snapped

Ethan tap his chin deep in thought, " that might work, but isn't Nightmares da.." he stopped when Jason Change the subject and then when Jasmine smack him "....." he just stood there for a moment but then looked to Crystal// use her as bate instead?..//

The girl was actually a little surprised by Jason’s reaction, but she laughed a bit at the finger guns, “Really?” she asked.

Crystal started thinking about what Jason went on to say, “Not a bad idea, but even if Dreameater did agree to help, I’m not sure I would want to put him in that kind of danger.. Scarlets blade keeps Nightmares from healing, and while I don’t know what else she could be capable of, I do my abilities couldn’t help him if he got hurt..” She suddenly stopped when the orange haired boy looked at her, and was a little taken back with what he said next. And by the fact Jasmine smacked him.

Crystal looked down for a moment, the realization creeping across her face as she figured out what Jason was getting at, then she looked up at everyone again.. “Me?” A rather nervous expression took over her features, “Arthur did tell me Scarlet would most likely hate my guts.. So, I would probably work.”

(HI! )

(HELLO!!

HOW ARE YOU?!)

(Hello! :D

I guess I'll get started working on replies?)

(Im doing alright, im really hot and tired
Sure! Ill be really slow for a bit and might disappear for a while, im still at my cousin helping her out. Hopefully it won't take to long)

(Glad you're doing alright, other than that! I hope you can find some time to rest and cool down. Good luck with helping your cousin, too!)

Dreameater's ear twitches towards Boreas when he makes his comment, but he doesn't say anything himself right away. He carefully picks the skull up again with his chains and holds it in front of himself, staring more intently at it as he starts slowly pacing back and forth. "I... No, it..." Eater starts to say, stops, and then starts again, wrestling with his thoughts out loud and turning around with each new argument, "But it's /mine...!/ It's my prized trophy, I've had it since I took over, from my first kill...
... But it makes me feel weird to look at it, now... It makes me sick...
But I don't want to just get rid of it...!
But if I keep it here, it'll just keep making me sick...
Where could I put it where I wouldn't see it, but it'd be safe...?
It should be buried somewhere, maybe with the rest of him...
But then it'll be filthy and would decay, you don't bury a trophy..."

The Nightmare stops pacing back and forth now and seems to debate the rest of his thoughts in his head, until finally, he turns back to Boreas, with his ears still pinned back and a concerned look in his eyes. "... Captain, if you don't mind... Could you... look after this for me...?" Dreameater asks, slowly stepping over to the cell bars, but not quite offering the skull over yet, "Or find someplace to put it? You took good care of my box..."

(Yee, alrighty Shadow! I'm glad you're doing alright too aside from being hot and tired, I hope all goes well over there at your cousin's!)

Boreas listened to and eyed Eater as he turned this way and that, seeming to debate with himself about the 'trophy'... After observing the Nightmare's words and actions for the past while, he was pretty confident that he knew what was going on... Though, it wasn't that hard to tell in this case.

When Eater asked him to look after his 'trophy,' the Captain glanced to Terra's skull, then back to the Nightmare, taking a brief moment to think over his wording. "...Sure I can. It'll be well taken care of with me." He stood in place a short distance from the bars, waiting to see what Eater would do.

"Y-yeah, apparently Nightmares have a mom..." Terra mumbles back, looking over at Fiona again, "I-it was that night when we found Captain Boreas, when we went to that ice cream place where you crashed into the chocolate fountain... It was a-after you passed out at the bar where Malice was wasted, as we were leaving, he was singing a kind of lullaby, a-and he brought up his 'mom...'"

Fiona still looked shocked, but she was kind of thrown off by the 'crashing into the chocolate fountain' comment, too.
The Elemental blinked at Terra trying to remember that night, then blankly looked down a little as she mumbled, "...Oh yeah, that happened. /I did do that.../" The faintest hint of purple appeared in her face, but she was quick to look back up at the Dreamer and continue on the thought of Nightmares having a mom.

"I didn't expect /that./ I mean, Nightmares... They're linked to Soledormir, right? He's the big bad guy...
So... Who's this Shoji-mom-person...?! She came outta nowhere!
...Does she have some link to Soledormir too...?"
The Elemental was still trying to think about that night, if there was anything else she would remember... Even if she had been passed out when Shoji was brought up.

After another quiet pause, Dreameater curls one of his wings around in a circular shape, and it starts to take on a dark glow. Then, he uses one of his spare chains, one of his shackled ones in particular, to reach into the middle of the glow, where he pulls the key to his cell out of his pocket dimension. "... I'm not gonna try to squeeze this skull through those bars," Eater mumbles his explanation, unlocking the door from where he stands, and handing Terra's skull over to Boreas, "Bones get brittle over time and I never treated it with anything, I don't want to risk breaking it..."

The Nightmare takes one last good look at the skull, and how it hasn't changed too much over all this time, perhaps with more cracks in it now and possibly a few missing teeth, then turns his head away and pulls his chains back once Boreas takes it. "You don't have to go do that right away, I just don't want to look at it anymore..." he mumbles again, lying down on the cold hard floor with a slight growl. "... I'm sick of being sick... Fed up with him..."

Terra only quietly nods his head when Fiona remembers the events of that night, and moves on right with her back to the topic of Nightmares. "Yeah, I don't know... She--she could be another of Soledormir's minions...? Obviously she has ties to him, too..." Terra says, staring down at his book again and tapping the end of his pencil on the page.
"... Going back to Weaver f-for a moment... He's been--uh, well, the Nightmare's been acting differently since he's been back, so obviously he's changed some... B-but, do you think he's done changing? Or is he still going...? I wonder if there's more going on under the surface that w-we don't know about yet..."

Boreas nodded in understanding as Eater unlocked the door, then the Elemental accepted the skull. He had a lot going through his mind about this--the skull itself, the fact that Weaver had convinced Eater to entrust it to him, and everything inbetween. The Captain kept it all to himself, however. He could see just how much it was weighing on Weaver. Actually, how much /everything/ was weighing on him. He carefully stored the skull in a bag he always kept on him. //...Have to figure out what to do with that later...//

"...I'm sure you are." He calmly replied to the Nightmare on the floor, staying outside of the cell for Eater's comfort in particular. "...You look like you need to take a breather."

Fiona had made a triangle of names, each with arrows pointing to the other. The arrows all had their own titles, too. She was still wondering if there was anything she was forgetting. Something was bugging her about that night...

But she looked to Terra as he mentioned Weaver and Eater again. Her brow furrowed as she thought about that, "...I don't know. I guess there could be? Ever since Weaver's soul got stuck to him there've been a LOT of times where he's been all nice and... /Frustrating./" A few moments after that last comment, that slightly troubled, guilty look came back, "...I always thought that was the Nightmare trying to pull some nasty trick, but...
That had to have been Weaver.
...Do you think, if the Nightmare's still changing... We could do something with that to get Weaver more control?"

(You guys havin' fun roleplaying, just the 2 of you? Lol)

Sprawling his chains out on the ground, holding his chain with his key in particular in front of him, Dreameater flops over on his side. After a very long pause and a deep sigh, he mumbles, "... I need some hot chocolate..."
... Granted, he still lies on the floor a moment longer after saying that, but he does get up again to head over to the mini fridge.
Only to quickly realize, after all this time, he never got any hot chocolate mix, so while there's little cartons of milk in the fridge, he cannot make his chocolatey drink. "I... Ugh..." Eater mumbles, slowly heading back over to the door of his cell, though he seems hesitant to leave, and watches Boreas almost suspiciously. "... I'm out of hot chocolate..."

(Oof big distractions

Eh, I think Shadow's finally not busy so she'll get back to RPing, and I messaged Fade earlier, she said she'd be here before too long but I think she's really busy with something too 'XP
I'm not sure, but Galaxy might be a ninja... though it's Shadow's turn for that interaction, too)

( im back and alive! Sorry for my Absence! Today hasn't gone to what I had thought ':s

I should be fine now though! I'm working on my reply now!)

(Ah yeah, Shadow told me about her day~

Hopefully the rp pics up soon *I say as I'm spectating instead of doing the rp*)

( it is my turn for everyone else ':s
Sorry to make everyone wait on me! )

Boreas raised one eyebrow as Eater looked into the fridge. //...Hot chocolate? Interesting choice of comfort beverage...// He stayed quiet until the Nightmare started watching him suspiciously. The Elemental's eyes shifted around, then back to Eater, like he was silently asking him 'what?' in sort of a lighthearted way.
"You want to go get some?" He asked, backing away from the cell to allow him passage. "It's a bad time when all you've got is not chocolate."

"Yeah... I'm pretty sure that was Weaver..." Terra quietly replies, "I feel like there could be something we could do to help him with that, th-the only problem is how Dreameater would take it... He already lost it just from learning that Weaver's s-still in there, we'd have to be careful if we did go about trying to do something to help Weaver... Mmm, we'll have to think..."

Picking up a little more on the conversation, Sparky looks up at Fiona and chimes in with a smile, saying, "... Don't feel too bad about thinking that way, Fuzzy, you didn't know it was Weaver at the time, and Nightmares are kinda known for being creepy tricksters, so it was honestly probably a good thing you were thinking that way... If it /were/ a trick, you wouldn't have been gotten."

What the human girl said surprise Ethan even more, that she had Concern for the Nightmare, this showed with how his ears twitched and he tipped his head slightly, the wolf boy was Curious if she knew Dreameater former self, he had also picked up on that Crystal wouldn't be able to help Eater if he get hurt// Scarlet Perfect a Nightmare from healing?... that would be really bad for any Nightmare but why couldn't she heal him?... dose Scarlet Pervent any form of healing? // his thoughts was put on hold with what was going on next and stay quiet for the time being.

After rubbing his head Jason gave the human girl a thumb up " see! She gets it! I bet that blood sucker be jelly that C man dropped her for lady C "

Now Jasmine was getting in on it but for a different reason, this was now starting to sound like her Soaps and dramas she liked to watch on TV " its like Tom did with Leena for Isabel! In Cycles of are lies!"

Ethan and Jason both look at the dragon shapeshifter with Rather confused then Disturbed facial features " no, this isn't nothing like one of your Soaps! ... if anything it more like " Jason then put a hand to his chin try to think of a story close to what was going on " hmmm, this is more like batman and Batgirl against Poison ivy "

Ethan knew if he didn't get things back on track Jason and Jasmine would both end up getting in a war about TV shows " I think we should stay on track... but that just me " he looked to Crystal, if one of the Kings believed the blood sword would hate Crystal it likely would be true " if you use yourself as bait that could be dangerous... we don't know that much about Soledormir Cursed weapons... but I have no doubt she try to kill you... you are one of the key hunters "

Dreameater slowly nods his head in return, and just as slowly goes out the door, turning and closing it behind him. He contemplates whether or not he should lock it--seeing as Crimson might come back at some point, he isn't sure--but now that he has his trophy seated on top of the fridge, he feels his den needs to be a bit more secure, and does lock the door. //If Crim or someone needs to go in, they can come find me,// the Nightmare thinks, curling his wing around again afterwards to put the key back in his pocket dimension.
Then, he turns back and studies Boreas again, before starting to make his way towards the stairs. "... Hot chocolate makes me feel better," Eater says matter-of-factly, "When I'm sick."

(H-
HEWWO)

( got soaked by rain today)

(I exist now tho)

(H-)

(A-)

(HEWWO.

Glad you exist! :D)

(Thanku! How are you all?)

(HELLO! rain! Was it a fun rain or not so fun rain?

Im doing better than Earlier, I was dead but I live now )

(I'm sweaty, it's hot and sticky)

(I'm doing alright! How about you?

Glad you're feeling better, Shadow!

Ooh, that's never any fun, Blood. I hope things cool down for you soon!)

"Hmm..." Fiona jotted down more in her 'Ways to Fix Weaver' section, thinking about what Terra had said... Then she looked up and gave Sparky a little grateful smile, hearing his encouraging words, "Yeah, that's true... And now we know Weaver's there, so we can help him out instead of...
...Punching him in the face, or something..." She muttered, not letting things go quite that easily. After a moment though, she went back to smiling faintly anyways, "Thanks, Sparky."

The Elemental then looked back to Terra, "...I think I've seen more and more of Weaver the longer we've been here in Senza... And Boreas said he's easier to hear when Eater's not on edge...
We could start by figuring out how to talk to Weaver while not making Eater /freak the heck out!/"

(Hi Fade! You're alive! :D Good ta see ya!

I'm doing good now that I have eaten dinner 'XD

I hope you're able to get through the heatwave alright, Blood ;w; )

Boreas stood there as Eater put away his room key, then he waited patiently for the Nightmare to start moving. Eater's comments made the Elemental wonder even more about the whole 'hot chocolate' thing, but he wasn't going to question it at that moment. "Well alright, then. Let's go get some." He stated, beginning to follow Eater, keeping a safe distance so he hopefully wouldn't get too overly nerve-wracked.

Catch could tell the presence of fear was a lingering over his wife, he rubbed her arm, Eira wasn't the only one who was fearful, he to had face it however his experience was different, it was a trap but Eira's, Eira's was more and that what Scared him the most, that the Abyss try to kill her twice... just the thought of that was making Catch silver blood Boil "I wouldn't let that thing harm you ever again" he Growled.

his fear of the unknown of how to stop the Abyss and Doubt if Eira could save herself, Catch knew his Temper was Rising, he could feel the Eclipse, he wanted to protect his love but this wasn't like him, of course he wanted to protect Eira but blind rage wasn't him, he wasn't helping Eira right now with that, what she needed was Dreamcatcher, a Dreamer.
The Dreamer prince Squeezed his eyes shut, he took a breath and focused on what his wife /did/ Accomplish, with each thing he listed in his mind a Layer of fear was removed " ... it try to take you Twice and it Failed ..." Catch open his eyes, he bush his fingers close to the ice on Eira shoulder As he spoke softly " it left you for dead, Damaged and scarred but you lived, you kept living... I try to face that monster and I..." his tone Wavered, it wasn't fear for his life, it was fear he wasn't Strong enough to hold his promise to Eira " I Failed...I couldn't do anything against it. It overtook me in a wave of darkness..." he was Silent for just a moment, the emotions painted on his face, he was Ashamed of himself but as his Memories continued a new Expression crept onto the prince face, one of hope " but you still face that monster to save me and you lived, were both alive right now and that what matters... not the /what if/
were going to figure this out /together/ "

( I hope it cools down for you to Blood! Heatwave are Yucky )

Serenity listens quietly as Catch, Eira, and the nurse speak about the Heart of the Abyss, not speaking up herself for the moment, as she feels this is something for Catch and Eira in particular, but being content to simply listen.

( my mind is thinking deeply)

(*thinking emoji*)

Sparky gives Fiona an even bigger smile, a thumbs-up, and a cheerful, "You're welcome!" before going back to the tablet (which he's had turned on for a while now, and has been discovering different things on it, one of which has really captured his attention...)

Terra smiles faintly at his Fairfin too and nods his head in agreement with him, and adds in another comment on that too: "Honestly... Kn-knowing Weaver, I don't think you punching him in the face would affect him that much... I-I mean, he hasn't really made a point of bringing it up since..."
"As for t-trying not to make Eater agitated when talking to Weaver," he then continues onto the other subject, "When I was in the dream with him and Purity, we were having the same problem, except there the struggle was, uh, more obvious; for the most p-part he looked like Weaver, but any mention of his name or telling him he looked like Weaver made the corruption take over more and changed his appearance... Purity a-and I were able to get him to act mostly normal by treating him a-almost as if he were Weaver, b-but without calling him by his name... Purity even got him to hug her, though... That's when the confliction got the worst, I-I think, Weaver seemed to be in pain and started crying as he was struggling to say something as the Nightmare took over again and stopped him..."

Dreameater slowly advances up the stairs out of his room, watching his clawed hooves with each step he takes and occasionally glancing back at Boreas. Before the two of them are even far from the basement stairs, Eater stops again and looks at Boreas, his ears still pinned back. "... Captain, could you not follow me from so far behind, please? ..." he asks, the small spike nubs on his back grinding up and down a little. "Could you walk beside me? Where I can see you easier?"

(I'm doing it, mwahahah)

Crystal watched and listened, but as Jasmine and Jason started talking about things she didn’t understand, she couldn’t help the really confused face she started to make while she thought, ‘What are Soaps? ...Maybe it’s books or stories of some kind..?’ as her brows knitted together slightly, ‘Bat people? I guess that wouldn’t be the weirdest thing I’ve seen..’

She wasn’t sure what this had to do with their conversation, how it related to her, Crimson, or Scarlet, and didn’t know what to say about any of it either.. She looked over at Ethen when he spoke up, pleasantly surprised, and thankful, that he was going back to what they had been talking about before.
Crystal chewed at her lip while hearing what the wolf boy said. She didn’t know much either, she only knew what little she had been told by Crimson and her Key, and it definitely wasn’t enough to form anything close to a foolproof plan that made sure no one got hurt in the process.

Soon she let out a little breath and shrugged a bit, “I know this could be dangerous, but.. what else do we have to go on that doesn’t involve getting Crimson or a Nightmare in harms way right now? I’m sure she wants to kill me too, like you said, I’m one of the Key Hunters, and add on top of that I’m close with the person she’s bound to... If I was her, I think I’d want to get rid of me too..” She paused for a moment, “I know I probably have no idea what situation I’m really putting myself into, but I know she’s extremely dangerous and needs to be locked up again, for Crimson’s and everyones safety. So if you guys want to go through with this.. I am willing to do it.”

Truly, part of her couldn’t believe what she was saying.. They hadn’t even agreed to the idea of using her as bait yet, but she could already feel the fear creeping up inside. She didn’t know what would happen in doing something like this, all she did know was anything Scarlet would and could do wouldn’t be good, that she needed to be found and trapped again, and if she was going to be their best bet, Crystal was going to help, especially if it would also help Crimson in the process.

(Doing what? :o )

Aaliyah and Theo were walking side by side down the hall. They were approaching the basement door, but weren't gonna head down it. The silver female had a long list in her hand.

Aaliyah had her hair tied up in a tight, very long, braid. Her brows furrowed, "I'm starting to think we should put a lock on the door to the kitchen"

Theo snickers, "You think a little lock would keep Hiiro out?"

Groaning, Aaliyah stopped and stuffed the list in Theo's pocket, "No, but why do we have to feed him and the others? Hiiro eats soooo much by himself! And I don't like grocery shopping, why do we have to do it?" she was barely refraining from whining.

Theo was biting his bottom lip, trying not to laugh at his mate, he found it entertaining.

(That, I'd been going over doing it for hours xD)

(Ahh, I see XD )

(I totally missed the reply for Serenity, sorry x'D)

(That's alright Fade, it was pretty small XD )

( RPing Nightmares is hard like this x'D )

"Yeah..." Fiona nodded in response to Terra. "...He didn't deserve it, though. He's a good guy."
Then the Elemental went quiet, attentively listening to what Terra had to say next. Her eyes widened with his description of what Eater/Weaver looked like in the dream, and she wrote these things down in her notebook. She looked back to the ghostly Dreamer and frowned as he neared the end of his explanation.
"That's awful... Ugh, Eater is awful! And now he knows Weaver is in him... How do we get him to not freak out /now?/" She paused, looking like she was in deep thought.

Eira looked up at Catch as he spoke, protectively vowing to never let the Abyss hurt her, and encouraging her about standing her ground and continuing to live life. It especially touched her heart due to a recent conversation of theirs where Catch began to trust in her and her ability to be strong, and here he was already proving his growth in heart. She smiled at him, grateful and touched. "Catch..." She reached out to take his hand, giving it a faint squeeze. "You're right. We're in this together, no matter where we failed before or were afraid. We know we'll win this, we'll free ourselves of corruption, everything that holds us down. Nothing will come between us," she murmured, giving him a softly determined gaze.

The nurse was watching them, not speaking up again yet, writing notes on her clipboard and observing them like a scientist observes a creature in the wild.

(...That nurse is like: "HMMMMMmmmm... Wuv.")

"I guess we could s-start by just trying to act normal around him...?" Terra suggests, writing more things down in his notebook, "Not be overly friendly to try and get Weaver out, b-but not being on edge around him, maybe... Make sure we're not coming across as too obviously trying to help W-Weaver... Maybe try to keep his m-mind off of that idea too, distract him..."

("Hmm, yes, interesting, interesting...")

(Twue wuv)

"Hm? Ah, sure thing." Boreas replied, completely casual, even as he picked up his pace to walk beside Eater. He still stayed a bit of a distance away from him. After a brief moment, he spoke up again. "...So, where do you get hot chocolate here? Fairly certain the only places I've been to are... Your room, the infirmary, and a room that was temporarily Fiona's."

(Now all I can think of is the guy in the marriage scene from the Princess Bride X"D )

Mal knew if he faces Alexandreas that he try to kill her, but there was still hope, Boreas had saved her from him and the captain didn't try to kill him, that was a good thing right? And though his thoughts on most of the other key hunters were not high, they did make it this far and most seem to Tolerate him despite everything he done maybe they could help in some way? he didn't know how they could but they were his best shot... one thing Malice did know was if he died then Dreamwaker would be queen and as queen she would have the power to do as she wished and he had no doubt that Waker would murder Alex...

With that Malice turned his eyes Towards the Ancient frost, his eyes were not Solid black for his Motives were not of pure evil, he had a reason to live belong himself now... from the darkness shot Several Blades.

With the Only warning of the kings glare, Waker had a Split second to React, she jumped back from the king and in the process the Frost ancient used her magic ice, it Jettisoned around her with Chilling speed however it wasn't enough, the sounds of Blades Impacting the ice that was still forming raing out with different tones, Clinking and Shrieking as they Scraped or broke though the ice or her chains.
Several of the black Blades had hit their target, they cut though the thick hid of the Frost ancient, Waker hoofs Barely hit the ground before she kicked off again, time was something you could not waste with Malice if you wanted to survive...

Ice Spread across Area with greatspeed, it form wildly, Twisting and Turning forming claws and spines, Waker took cover behind her ice and a Cement pylon, she knew this wouldn't stop Malice but maybe slow him down " Im actually surprised you place traps, maybe there still a bit of a king left?!" The Ancient taunted, Waker Took her remaining chains and began to rip out the blades, the blades were 6" Wide and 16" long, these nasty thing were Sinking into her hide, Once they impel their victime the Shaft would begin to heat up and melt, Releasing a heated toxins into his prey

"Good idea!" Fiona nodded, writing down a few things in her notes as well. She let out a bit of a sigh at her next thought, "We're probably gonna have to start off slow after what happened today, but... It'll be worth it!! We're gonna help Weaver out!" The Elemental stated confidently.
Then she paused, thinking for a minute or so...
"His appearance changed in a dream... Dreams are weird, but that makes sense...
...Oh, hey! Speaking of Purity's dream again... How was she?"

"I had some things of hot chocolate on me before, but I used them all," Eater replies, holding his head slightly down as he stares at his hooves and slowly resumes walking, "There's a kitchen here though, they've got hot chocolate there... I didn't think I'd need so much hot chocolate, otherwise I would've gotten more from ho--" Dreameater growls a bit as he quickly lifts his head back up and corrects himself: "NO! We--I--Weaver's house, when I was at Weaver's house, that's not 'home,' my den is here..."

Then he hesitates a moment at the doors to the basement. He can sense two auras coming in this general direction, but he doesn't recognize them, so, very carefully, he takes one of his shackled chains, opens the door, and pokes his head out of it to see who it might be.

Aaliyah had resumed walking, casting Theo an unamused glare as he was snickering and snorting, "I don't get what's so funny" she turned her head away and looked ahead of them.

Just in time to see Eater poke his head out from the basement, she let out a near blood curdling scream, "A Nightmare!" she had jumped back, into Theo as she screamed, and the two fell to the ground. Aaliyah laying on top of Theo.

A 'whoosh' had been heard from Theo as the impact had driven the air from his lungs, "It's...probably Dreameater" he wheezes out, trying and failing to fill his lungs with air again. Especially since Aaliyah was still on top of him.

Catch Return Eira determined gaze as she spoke and nodded his head, he was proud of her and together he believed that they could face what lay ahead " we will get though this " the shapeshifter Squeezed his wife hand back
