I can still use it just the one side snapped, I just have to be careful because it only has one side now. But im not taken it with me anymore. I hope so to, our power might get shut off for a bit today.
I might not have power sometime today, PGE is cutting power to areas do to people using to much power because of the heatwave. Not sure if are area will be hit today but we got a Warning this morning that we might. I'll still have access to internet on my phone, ill just use my Data but I won't be able to use anything else if power goes out.
If we do lose power im guess it be around 2 or 3 my time
Glad you're doing well and have some time to chill out, Lilly!
Ahh, at least it still works. Still, that's never any fun. RIP yellow DS. ;w; Oh boy, getting power cut during a heatwave sounds icky, too. Hang in there, Shadow!
That really smells Shadow >-<' Do you think you'll get a new DS if it becomes broken beyond use?
Hi there Fluffy!!

I have been in line for an hour and a half for Covid testing, so that I can actually go on campus once school starts It is very boring and I haven't eaten yet so I'm hungry x'D I want foods I wanna finish my drawing too I've finished about half the line art on that ref! And hopefully today I can do some Colors art, once I'm home and rested
Terra immediately catches on to the fact that Fiona's corruption has been acting up just by her initial reaction, though he doesn't know how severe it is from that alone. "Syringes...?" Terra quietly asks as he examines them and listens to Fiona's explanation of them, but once she's done, and before he can say anything else, Sparky interrupts him.
"Sure, that's for emergency situations and all, but Miss Suzano gave us some other tips too, like getting Fiona to think of things she's thankful for. Weaver even tried to help out some, too...!"
"... W-Weaver tried to help...?" Terra nearly whispers in response, quietly thinking over that more, as well as his more pressing questions of 'How bad was it?', though he sort of attempts to tackle them one at a time... kind of. "E-even as a Nightmare, he tried to help you with it, huh...? ... H-how bad did it get...?"
Fiona smiled at Sparky as he started bringing up some other positive things to start with. "Yeah! They both helped me out a lot." Then she stopped to think about one thing... Knowing it was Weaver and not /a Nightmare/ who'd helped her made her feel a bit happier, but... She knew Eater still had a lot of control. //...I guess Weaver knew how to help me out because he's already been through something like that...// Her brow furrowed as that thought went through her mind.
"...Well..." Fiona started getting a little more hesitant again, "I kinda... Accidentally learned my claws can do things... Like steal magic from people...? And then I think I went kinda crazy. Weaver had to pin me down. I... I was seeing people's magic again, and I couldn't think straight."
[[ well then... that was some timing... I wasn't eavesdropping I swear, but I couldn't help over hear what was said ]] Arthur spoke up from Crystal bag [[ It true, One might expect a hero to be powerful, to be wise and brave, to be able to anything at a snap of a Finger but I tell you this, not all heroes are this way...if it was do you really think everyone would be in the mess were all in now?]] He said with a testing tone and then Continued [[ of course not! There more then one kind of hero, you might not be the powerful one but that doesn't mean you don't have a place... I picked you, I'm always right! ]] he then add the last part of his Pep talk [[ now just imagine I smile Dashingly and gave you a Thumbs up]] Jasmine was more then ready to back Aaliyah, she Pounded her fist together " You tell him Aliy! " she was ready for a fight
on the other hand Ethan just stood there quietly, his Nerves grew more the longer Dreameater spoke, exactly when the Nightmare when on about being evil and insane...the wolf boys eyes locked on Eater watching his ever move...his ears Twitched however in hearing Crystal try and defend a Nightmare, his brown eyes glace to her // after all that she doesn't want us to hurt him?...// this got him questioning things, things about the girl and about Eater, that maybe there was more? Why would anyone defend a Nightmare? Did Eater do something to earn it or was that something who Crystal was? Needless to say the wolf boy said nothing but he did step a little closer to the human girl, just to be on the safe side.
Theo had started sputtering as Boreas explained about Eater, "Wh-wh" he placed his hands on the sides of his head. He then shakes his head, "I believe you, you're related to Fiona, you're someone I believe can be trusted. But that is also a crazy thing to believe... Then again, Soledormir would do something twisted like that" he have a meager half smiled and then it faltered when he looked into the kitchen, to see his partner digging a sword into the Nightmare's back. - Aaliyah's sharp blue eyes narrowed as the Nightmare spoke, she faintly heard Crystal, but didn't acknowledge her yet. "No, if Nightmares were as stupid as you say, they would not be a threat, they'd have been annihilated a long time ago" she moves her blade back from his spine, twirling it and letting it rest at her side.
"I'll be watching you Nightmare" Glancing at Crystal as she spoke, "I know your kind, deception and lies are what you are. I've heard stories of some who play the long game for months, even years. You just admitted to not being stupid enough to attack anyone here and that you also /ate/ a human in the city" she tsk'd then looked to the human girl now.
"Becareful Crystal, defending a Nightmare? Even the foals know not to do that" Aaliyah lets her blade disspell, "And he just admitted to eating a person, a human, so..." she taps the side of her head with her index finger.
"A lot to take in, I know. Hard even for me to believe, but like you said, this Soledormir guy seems like something out of this world..." Boreas muttered. "...And this is why I've been hanging out with a Nightmare. I'm trying to learn what makes him tick..." He then followed Theo's gaze into the kitchen, watching as things seemed to calm down. "Hmm..." For now, he stayed put, keeping an eye on things from the hall.
Dreameater never turns around to face Aaliyah even after she takes her sword away and dispells it, but he does turn his head to the other side to look over at Crystal. //I just said I'm evil, I'm crazy, and I've eaten someone, and yet she still doesn't want me to get hurt...? What...//
He gets very quiet at that, but he does make a rather casual remark back to Aaliyah as she declares her intentions. "Yeah, I know, you and every other person in the palace," he says, yet, he gets quiet after that once more... This time not because of someone's kindess, but because of the repeated mentions of him eating someone, and the emphasis put on that...
The Nightmare stares down at the container of hot chocolate mix in front of him, and gently takes it in one hand. He isn't so sure this will help him feel better with the new kind of sickness he's starting to feel...
Upon hearing a familiar voice enter her head, Crystal’s eyebrows raised in surprise, “I don’t know, I have a hard time believing you weren’t eavesdropping~” she mumbled her joke, hopefully quiet enough. She continued to watch the situation in front of her very carefully, but listened to what her Key was saying just as intently. The corner of her mouth turned upwards in a smile ever so slightly despite what was going on. Arthur’s words brought her some needed reassurance, and she was grateful for that. Because he was right, she did have a place, even if it wasn’t one of the typical kinds. She breathed out a soft laugh through her nose at what he said lastly, “Noted.”
Crystal watched Aaliyah when she turned her gaze on her, relieved when the sword finally disappeared. “I’m aware,” was all she said, preferring to keep her thoughts and reasonings to herself for the time being. Did she like that Eater ate a person? No, of course not. It was scary to think he could eat anyone he felt like. But he said it himself he wasn’t going to embrace those kinds of instincts, that he didn’t want to hurt or kill anyone else.. Crystal looked passed Aaliyah and at Eater for a moment. Whether he was faking this whole time or not she didn’t know, but something seemed too off for it to be entirely a mask..
Eira smiled at both Serenity and Catch. She had a feeling her friend would be okay, no matter what scary things could happen, and Purity had friends and family right by her side to walk with her through it all. She looked over her childhood friend, hoping inside that she'll be alright, then looked to Serenity. "Will you be staying with he r for now?"
Serenity watches as Catch goes over and holds Purity's hand, and she smiles at what he tells her. "I'm sure that'd only make her more anxious to wake up, if she could hear you," the Fairfin tells Catch, "But I know she'd appreciate that."
She then turns to Eira and nods her head. "Yeah, I'll be staying with her as she recovers. What're you two going to be up to after you're done here? Got any plans?"
Dreamcatcher held his warm smile as Serenity replied and then he said " I appreciate that, and if there anything you need just let us know "
The Dreamer prince then tipped his head in thought " hmm, Im not sure really, I want to check up on Weaver and see how he doing, I know Boreas ran after Eater... Im sure he can handle himself but..." he tapered off as he looked over to the Nurse in the room, they would probably want to have a look at Eira
(Maybe, I do have two other DS that work still (since I got a battery for my Zelda one) I'll still draw on my yellow one but only at home, I really do love drawing on the DS and I know it probably be getting harder to find them soon :/ Hmmm, though I might not since the switch should be coming out soon, save my money. AHHHH!
That really smells :/ I hope it not to hot for you and you can go eat soon! How much longer do you think you have to wait? )
(Ooh, that's a long while to be waiting in line. Hopefully things don't take too long so you can BECOME UN-BORED and go get something to eat! Food is very important.
[[ No me?! I don't know what you're talking~]] the king had a playfully tone. Arthur then stay quiet listening to his keeper and the others Exchange words. [[ hmm, there has been something amidst with that monster, im not sure what but I have found it rather odd with him following your party and yet hasn't try to kill any of you since the night he was born... didn't he rabble about some seal that made him Protect Boo? Maybe that could be it but why has he not act against any of you and your party members? Just because he meant to provide protection for one person doesn't mean he has to go out of his way for anyone else... hmmm... it could be for a trap, Sol done lower things but having a Nightmare be a spy like this, would draw to much attention.... hmmm, what are you really upto Sol?]]
Ethan stepped away when Aaliyah brought up really good points, trusting a Nightmare was crazy, they were some of the most Evilest Creatures. Even as Crystal spoke the wolf boy was surprised, he never meant someone like her.
As Aaliyah turned her attention to the human girl, Jasmine got closer to Dreameater, her lip Curl " you better know well take you down " she Threatened.
Terra gets visibly more worried and fretful as he listens to Fiona, his glowing colors paling some and his eyes full of dread. "You--you lost control a-and h-had to be pinned down...?" he fearfully asks, leaning towards Fiona and lowering his head down a little.
"Yeah, it was pretty bad..." Sparky quietly admits as he gets up and floats over to a spot on the floor between Fiona and Terra, and tries to keep more of an optimisic tone as he continues, "But we got everything under control. See? She's doing better now, and now we know some more things on what to look out for... Right? Right Fuzzy?"
The ghostly Dreamer only glances anxiously between Fiona and his Fairfin.
Aaliyah raised a brow at Crystal, she wasn't expecting such a short reply. //It's her funeral// she smirked when she heard Jasmine, "I think he's got the message, Jasmine" she gave Eater one last harsh look, then took her leave from the kitchen.
She waved Theo to follow her as she walked passed and avoided eye contact with Boreas.
Theo watched Aaliyah walk passed then looked to Boreas, "Good luck Boreas and stay safe" he knew Nightmares were dangerous, especially crazy ones, "Can you let me know if you figure out anything else?"
Boreas didn't pay much mind to Aaliyah avoiding eye-contact, but he did nod to Theo. "Thanks. Anything else gets confirmed, I'll be sure to let you know ASAP. Was nice meeting you both." He said that last part loud enough that Aaliyah could hear it, too, then gave Theo a half-smirk, and sort of a casual salute as a goodbye.
Dreameater only slightly glances at Jasmine out of the corner of his eye when she threatens him and Aaliyah makes her remark back to her, but he doesn't say anything. He looks back down at the container of hot chocolate in his hands, then slowly and cautiously turns around and makes his way over to Crystal. "... Hey, mind if I just hang around...?" the Nightmare quietly asks of her, giving her a slight, rather forced smile.
Malice Flared his nostrils, for now his flames would be a Blazing wall of protection, the heat to much for the Frost to bare, however he knew this wasn't over....even though this world Hindered their abilities the Nightmare king knew Waker was not done, he was Injured and his Lair...it wasn't any kings Palace, he did his best with his Condition but it had no healing pool to speed up his recovery, all he could do was Fortify it and let time heal himself, which both was lacking right now. this place that was more for an Omega then a King of Nightmares.
The Tunnel was on Verge of collapsing and his own fire could kill him if he wasn't careful, but it wouldn't be from the heat, that he could take, it was the lack of air... the smoke was heavy and as the fire burn less and less air.
Perhaps this was Dreamwaker plot? Let the king kill himself, Suffocate him with his own fire or maybe she was waiting...knowing Malice would Eventually have to cool his flames keep breaking.
Crystal nodded slightly as Arthur spoke, “it is odd..” she then tilted her head a bit, “I don’t know, none of it makes sense.. Let’s just hope it’s really not some trap..” she muttered.
The girl turned her eyes downward, staying very quiet as Jasmine gave Eater another threat, and as Aaliyah was leaving.
But when the Nightmare walked over and spoke to her, she looked up at him and met his forced smile with a small smile of her own, one that was kind and gentle. “No, I don’t mind at all,” she answered.
Fiona could practically feel the anxiety in Terra as he spoke and leaned closer to her. She looked to the floor as a wave of guilt and regret hit her, but then her attention was brought to Sparky as he tried to bring more light to the somber conversation.
The Elemental was grateful for that, and as she looked back up to her ghostly boyfriend, she did her best to bite back her own worriesome thoughts for both of them... But she wanted to say what she knew, instead of trying to hide things like she had done before. "...Yeah! Everything's okay now--/everyone's/ okay." She started off with a bit of extra re-assurance, "And we do know some more stuff, too! Suzano told me that if I feel overwhelmed, I should think about things I'm thankful for... And I can't fight this stuff off on my own, so I need some buddies who can help me out, or let me know when things are getting bad... And I need to control myself too--not freak out so much."
Then she took a moment to glance to her claws, "...She also said... My symptoms were like something of the past...? Which, yeah... I think she's gotta be right about that."
Eira gave Serenity a nod. "That's perfectly right. Thank you for keeping Purity company and looking after her. We'll help her get better - I promise."
The nurse looked between everyone and then focused on Eira. "Lady Eira, if you have the spare time, we need to investigate your case further and determine what it might be that keeps you alive today. If you would come with me," the Vaseterm said as she turned around, whisking her finger in the air as a motion to follow, and she headed towards the doorway.
Eira started to follow, then paused and looked back at Catch, seeing what he would do.
Serenity puts her paws on her hips and holds her head high as she replies, "Yes! We will! She'll be better before we know it!" Then after hearing what the nurse said next, the lily Fairfin adds, "Good luck with your own corruption, Eira."
Malice ears Twitched, he could Barely made out something different from the loud crackling of flames, it grew longer and sounded like Metal scraping.// what in the moons?// he wasn't sure what the Ancient frost was doing but he knew it wasn't good.
Soon a shape took form down the Tunnel, one that made Malice's eyes widened as he Blurted out a no, no word. A old Train engine was speeding down the tracks and heading full speed Towards the Injured king.... Malice wouldn't have time to Hobble out of the way and getting hit by a Speeding locomotive wouldn't be ideal if he Valued his life.
Malice was running out of options by the second, his wings were already in possession do to holding himself up, all he had to do is cast the spell... closing his eyes, Mal Shadowy wings fanned out, glowing green markings appear along the Black surface as he Muttered in the dark language, magic rings formed Beneath him and with the last words of his spell Malice shot open, Shadowy Beams came forth from his wings, they moved with Incredible speed Twisting and turning as if they were tentacles.
The tentacles Struck the Locomotive but they appeared to have done nothing, just go though it, not Leaving a mark or making a sound, it was like the train absorbed them... Suddenly a bizarre noise come from the Train as dark Static appeared around it and then it happened... the Train Exploded from the inside with dark magic, Waves from the shock wave ripped apart the Surrounding area, opened it up to the outside world, the Sudden rush of air Created a backdraft to Further the devastation, the flashover rushed with intense heat...however his spell was not done yet... as the debris was flying through the air it slowed down until it stopped in Mid air as if someone took a Photo graph. Everything was stopped, the flying rocks, the fire, even the force from the blast was frozen in place... the only thing that was in Motion was were the Center of the train would have been, but instead of a train was now a sphere made of the dark magic
Dreamcatcher was about to add to his wife's Promise when the nurse chime in, he meet Eira's gase and smiles, he wouldn't let her go alone, not this time.
He turned his attention back to his friend and nodded at Serenity " thank you, we will come back to check up on you both... Serenity you try to rest some to ok, Purity got the best looking out for her and that means you to "
Catch then turn back to Eira and took her hand " Im ready if you are " he said Warmly
Jasmine rolled her eyes at the passing comment, she moved herself over to the Counter and leaned her back again it, she folded her arms and was given Eater a death glare.
Ethan rises his hand out as Aaliyah was Leaving, he opened his mouth but no words spilled out, he didn't want them to leave, not with the Nightmare still there but now they were gone. The wolf boy wide eyes turned to Eater and then over to Crystal as they Exchange words, he Stiffened up with fear when the girl give her Permission to the Nightmare. A Small squeak Excape Ethan lips, he quickly pointed over to his table and then made haste over to it, His movements staff and forced he was trying not to look like he was rushing even though he really was. He took his set and cup his arms around his Cereal bowl and stared at it.
[[ well now, what a perfect opportunity for interrogation!]] Arthur Teased following up with some laughter [ but with all Seriousness, I don't have to tell you to be careful however, trust your gut, you got Intuition for a reason, just use your head so you don't lose it, that the best Advice a king can offer, that and if you really feel In danger you can always use me to maybe poke his eyes or may shove up his nose... uh, maybe not that Last one]]
"Which means, you know," Sparky chimes in again, "You need to not freak out and worry so much either... Yeah, something bad happened, and it was really bad, but can't we just focus on the now and be thankful that we're all still here?"
Still, Terradream stays anxiously quiet, looking between Fiona and Sparky both as they speak, and twisting and curling his ribbons around, as if to try and rub them against each other nervously. "... W-well... Y-yeah... I'm... I'm glad you're ok..." Terra finally says, being as sincere as possible even if he is mumbling his words. He looks into Fiona's eyes for a moment, before glancing down at his notebook. "... H-how so...? Uh--about your s-symptoms being like the past...? Wh-what does that mean...?"
Theo grinned goofily, "I'll hold you to that Boreas" he then took off down the hall, after Aaliyah, "It was nice meeting you too! Now I gotta go die in a store, see you later!" he hollered as he ran.
Boreas folded his arms, "Don't die too hard!" He added last minute as he watched the Vaseterm book it down the hall.
...Then he waited a moment. The kitchen was still rather tense, he didn't want to wait for the next big kaboom, but didn't want to complicate things, either. So, for the moment, he just leaned against the wall, watching and listening through the doorway to see where the situation would go next.
Dreameater is distracted right off the bat by Ethan's frantic behaviour, and stares at him for a moment before frowning, almost scowling at him. //Don't--Don't do that! I haven't eaten yet today, and you're just tempting me now...!// he considers snapping at the wolf boy, but keeps it to himself, as he's still feeling rather nauseous at the same time, and doesn't feel like being angry. "... Thanks," Eater sighs in return to Crystal, not even bothering to fix his fake smile as he pulls a chair out for himself beside the human girl, takes a seat, and slumps forward with his arms around his container of hot chocolate. //... I really don't feel good... It must be Weaver, I guess thinking about eating people makes him sick... Which makes me sick... He needs to stop freaking out about eating people so I can feel better and drink this hot chocolate, so I can feel even better, right now I feel like I'd throw up if I tried to drink it,// Eater concludes, //And Crystal still doesn't know I'm possessed, he's gonna freaking give it away if he keeps making me feel like this!! And she's strange because she still doesn't want me getting hurt, even after hearing that I eat people and all... Maybe I could get her to help me, since everyone else is going to want to kill me to save him...?//
With that thought in mind, the Nightmare turns his eyes to look over at Crystal, and after a somewhat thoughtful pause, he quietly asks, "... You still don't want me to get hurt, huh? Even after what I said?"
As she looked right back into Terra's eyes, Fiona wished she could reach out to him, hold one of his ribbons, or just do anything to help comfort him. But then he glanced down to his notebook and asked his question. "...Hey... Just take it easy... This'll probably sound kinda bad, but... I'm gonna tell you everything I know. We're gonna figure this out too, ok?"
Then she started her explanation slowly, "Ok! Suzano's been around for a LONG TIME, and she's treated people, even from back when Malice first showed up... She said that back then, it would take longer for an Elemental to go Rogue, and you could see more physical signs--like these." The Elemental lifted up her clawed hand, "...I've told you the symptoms of going Rogue before... But I've never heard of an Elemental getting claws and weird circuit patterns /before/ they go Rogue. ...I always thought it was just something weird with me, because... /Everything's/ like that." She mumbled.
Terradream gives Fiona a slight nod, but stays quiet and writes down what she tells him in the notebook. "... S-so... Your symptoms a-are like... an Elemental's symptoms from before M-Malice...? H-how is that p-possible...?" he mumbles his questions, trying to stay on one train of thought--though it's pretty obvious he's still worrying about Fiona on the inside.
Crystal glanced over at Ethan as she heard him squeak, and she watched as he quickly went back to his seat. ‘He must not like the idea of Dreameater staying..’ She thought worriedly, ‘I’m sure none of them do..’ Her gaze lingered for a moment longer before she looked away and listened to Arthur.
She raised an eyebrow at the King’s joke, “interrogation?” The girl paused and continued to listen, “That is good advice, thank you, Arthur. And don’t worry, I’ll use your key if I really think I need to.” Personally, Crystal didn’t think she’d ever need to use Arthur as a weapon, but she wasn’t going to completely rule it out either, just in case.
The girl turned her eyes back to the Nightmare when he sighed and thanked her, giving him a little nod in response. She watched him sit down, studying him a bit as he sat there hugging the hot chocolate. She could tell he didn’t feel well, but then again, neither would she after getting a sword pressed to her back and being threatened multiple times.
Crystal thought about what Eater went on to ask and she shook her head, “Of course not..” She shrugged, “I know that it makes me the only one, but I personally don’t feel like you should be hurt, or hated, or held at sword-point for giving into an instinct you’ve managed to suppress for as long as you have. Especially when you went out of your way as to not to harm any one of us here. I don’t like that you ate a person, but even I understand not being able to control a natural instinct sometimes, even when you want to.. And you said it yourself, you may be what’s considered evil and crazy, but you’re not dumb. Besides that.. I just don't like seeing people get hurt in general.."
The frozen Object's began to quiver, they started to move back, like someone had pushed the Reverse button on a moving Picture, everything was being drawn to the Swirling darkness... when an object got closer to the sphere it suffers turned black and it broke apart, they then drift into the darkness and made it grow. The mass of darkness counted and it appeared it wasn't going to stop.
-
// my, my, someone having some fun aren't they?...// Scarlet commented Off in the distance stood a Skyscraper out form the haze of the rain, the old Train yard could not be seen at first but do the the event between Malice and Waker that wasn't the case... the Sound and Shockwave from the explosion got the closest Residents alerted, " indeed " a well dress man replied, he was Wearing a red suit, his brown hair slick back, he took two fingers and pushed the nose piece to his glasses to Readjust them " one of my resources is Currently in a dule with the king, however there has been some unfortunate developments... though it was only a matter of time before Dreamwaker found out the truth. "
// so what do you plan to do with her now?// the blood sword reply and then added Anxious.//Can...can I kill her?//
" not yet, she still has a place in the plot, but no worries you will taste blood soon..." the man replied.
With that Scarlet let out a Moun // ohhh, if it wasn't for this blast rain, I could be on the hunt... I am so very hungry... Why Void! Malice was left weak! I could have killed him! now he might die and not by meee! // the blood sword whined " because if you kill Malice yourself the plan would have failed... if you are to kill him it needs to be in the boys hands " Void replied Plainly, he wanted Malice dead but he had to work around Soledormir rules.
Scarlet let out a frustrated grunt // it been so long since I tasted an ancient...// she them hummed with delight// though Dreamer are even sweeter~ he was so close Void, so close! He had his chance and he...//
" he chose Mercy " Void smirked " not something a prince of darkness should have now is it?" The man played his hand under his chin as he stared out the window, he knew what was going on between Malice and Waker, his shades were watching, but that what he wasn't finding amusing right now, but his half sister.
// ITS BECAUSE OF THAT --// Scarlet Exploded with fury at just the thought of Crystal however she couldn't Finish her rant before Void Silenced her.
Void snapped at Scarlet, speaking in the dark language, { do not make a Seen here Scarlet! blood will be Spelt but in /mine/ timing, not yours!}
///.... fine, but /I/ will kill her!//The red jacket Void was wearing had formed Quills on it but they soon Melted back down and it looked back to being a blood red jacket// Then the price will start getting better again~ oh, the poor thing, Void he trapped there with those monsters, you know they will only make him sicker... Dilute his power...we both seen this last night... Void // the blood sword Voice began to crack with her emotions // he Changing... I can sense it, Void... we have to save him, he can't stay, let me save him, please for all that is good let me go to him, at least speak with him in dreams, he needs to know I haven't abandoned him, I still believe there good in him, he can come back, that his nightmares will go away//
Void said nothing, he just started out the window, his mind going over his Schemes, much was at play here, a unseen game between 4 players " which one will win? What is really more valuable?...The Kings or the pawns? "then smoke began to rise but shortly it stopped and now, even from the Skyscraper the Black sphere could be seen. " what?!" Void drop his hand not expecting this
"I... Don't really know. Suzano didn't know that either." Fiona muttered, looking to her own notebook momentarily, "Things were a lot different before Malice showed up. Corruption was more like a poison than... What it is now. Not just for Elementals either--for Dreamers too. They both were kinda immune to corruption... ...I don't feel like I'm anything like that, though... These things steal magic--just like a Rogue from today would..." She frowned at her claws.
[Just remember not in the nose! ] Arthur Teased, he then went quite, he wanted this to be something Crystal did but he listened and chime in if he felt he needed to
Ethen Occasionly gave me nervous glances over at the two but he said no more.
Jasmine still held her unpleasant look, she kept her thoughts to herself for the moment but None of them were good. The Dragon shapeshifter lip Twitched with Irritation // how can she said that?! He a freaking Nightmare, they don't deserve being treated kindy, they sure don't Do the same to their victims // she couldn't stand it and turn her head away, that when she spotted Boreas in the hallway, she hadn't seen him before but knew of other blue Person " Wait there's another one?!" She Blurted out, she got off the wall and went to get a closer look
The ghostly Dreamer writes that all down in his notebook, and stares down at the pages, not sure where to go from there. //It sounds like it does the same to your mind too, if you had to be pinned down...// Terradream mentally worries, but keeps quiet until he glances over at Fiona's claws as well. "Is... W-was there anything about it be-being reversable back then...? O-or, I guess, b-better taken care of...? I-if it were like poison, were there 'antidotes' b-back then...?" he asks.
Boreas was still just waiting and listening. He could tell things were calming down somewhat, but then he noticed that... Well, he'd been noticed. "Welp, mission hide-n-seek is a bust." He muttered jokingly as Jasmine approached, "...I assume by another one, you've likely met a certain loud, armored cloud lady?" He asked once she was close enough that he could still lay relatively low.
Fiona paused, still watching Terra as he wrote everything down. She could tell he was still worried, which made her worry for his wellbeing right back, but she tried to keep going. "Uh... Well... She seemed to know of ways to fight it off--like what I already told you. She didn't really say anything about an antidote, just that..." The Elemental briefly debated whether or not she really wanted to share this part, "...That it would kill Elementals. At some point, it changed and suddenly Rogues started showing up... /But no!/ We've already started on doing some of the stuff Suzano told me to do! We got Alex in on it now, and Suzano's looking into things more... Weaver even knows about this stuff too, though he's going through a lot, too..."
Listening intently to what Crystal says, Dreameater just stares at her as she talks (ignoring the comments she made to Arthur out loud--he's not surprised that even her Key is trying to give her ideas to use against him), and he slightly turns his head to stare at her easier. There must be a lot going through his head, as he's quiet after that for a good little while, only occasionally tapping his fingers on the table, and the expression on his face gains a little bit of fear to it. "... No... No, you don't understand..." the Nightmare quietly begins to make his reply, "It's not just like it's some natural instinct, I--Crystal, I /killed/ someone...!" At this, he sits more upright to look more directly at her, though he seems to start shaking a little, too. "And, even at that, I didn't just kill him, that wasn't enough, I... Nightmares--Nightmares eat more than just meat, you know, they feed on the fear and pain of others, I knew I couldn't just go out and kill a whole bunch of people to keep me going for a while, so I... I..."
Even his voice now matches how badly he himself is shaking, as the young Nightmare looks away from Crystal and leans forward, mostly covering his eyes with his hands and staring out between his fingers. //Sh--shh--shut u-up, Weaver, shut up, shut up, shut up!!// Eater tries to tell the soul inside him that he doesn't hear, but then tries to still continue what he was saying in some hope that he can pull something off without contradicting himself--which at this point might as well be impossible-- "I-I tortured him, y-you know... Slowly... To get... as much agony out of him as possible, you know...? B-but that was--ah, what a couple nights ago...? I don't d-do that anymore though, because it gets me sick, you see? I--I'm trying to eat normal food, like a normal person... But... I haven't... eaten anything this morning... And I know if I try to... to eat anything right now, I'll throw it back up... I already feel sick..." He breathes out a shaky sigh and whispers at the end: "I don't want to eat anything ever again..."

I can still use it just the one side snapped, I just have to be careful because it only has one side now. But im not taken it with me anymore.
I hope so to, our power might get shut off for a bit today.
I might not have power sometime today, PGE is cutting power to areas do to people using to much power because of the heatwave.
Not sure if are area will be hit today but we got a Warning this morning that we might.
I'll still have access to internet on my phone, ill just use my Data but I won't be able to use anything else if power goes out.
If we do lose power im guess it be around 2 or 3 my time

16 Aug, 2020, 7:29 pm
Terra immediately catches on to the fact that Fiona's corruption has been acting up just by her initial reaction, though he doesn't know how severe it is from that alone. "Syringes...?" Terra quietly asks as he examines them and listens to Fiona's explanation of them, but once she's done, and before he can say anything else, Sparky interrupts him.
"Sure, that's for emergency situations and all, but Miss Suzano gave us some other tips too, like getting Fiona to think of things she's thankful for. Weaver even tried to help out some, too...!"
"... W-Weaver tried to help...?" Terra nearly whispers in response, quietly thinking over that more, as well as his more pressing questions of 'How bad was it?', though he sort of attempts to tackle them one at a time... kind of. "E-even as a Nightmare, he tried to help you with it, huh...? ... H-how bad did it get...?"
16 Aug, 2020, 7:29 pm
Fiona smiled at Sparky as he started bringing up some other positive things to start with. "Yeah! They both helped me out a lot." Then she stopped to think about one thing... Knowing it was Weaver and not /a Nightmare/ who'd helped her made her feel a bit happier, but... She knew Eater still had a lot of control.
//...I guess Weaver knew how to help me out because he's already been through something like that...// Her brow furrowed as that thought went through her mind.
"...Well..." Fiona started getting a little more hesitant again, "I kinda... Accidentally learned my claws can do things... Like steal magic from people...? And then I think I went kinda crazy. Weaver had to pin me down. I... I was seeing people's magic again, and I couldn't think straight."
16 Aug, 2020, 7:30 pm
[[ well then... that was some timing... I wasn't eavesdropping I swear, but I couldn't help over hear what was said ]] Arthur spoke up from Crystal bag [[ It true, One might expect a hero to be powerful, to be wise and brave, to be able to anything at a snap of a Finger but I tell you this, not all heroes are this way...if it was do you really think everyone would be in the mess were all in now?]] He said with a testing tone and then Continued [[ of course not! There more then one kind of hero,
you might not be the powerful one but that doesn't mean you don't have a place... I picked you, I'm always right! ]] he then add the last part of his Pep talk [[ now just imagine I smile Dashingly and gave you a Thumbs up]]
Jasmine was more then ready to back Aaliyah, she Pounded her fist together " You tell him Aliy! " she was ready for a fight
on the other hand Ethan just stood there quietly, his Nerves grew more the longer Dreameater spoke, exactly when the Nightmare when on about being evil and insane...the wolf boys eyes locked on Eater watching his ever move...his ears Twitched however in hearing Crystal try and defend a Nightmare, his brown eyes glace to her // after all that she doesn't want us to hurt him?...// this got him questioning things, things about the girl and about Eater, that maybe there was more? Why would anyone defend a Nightmare? Did Eater do something to earn it or was that something who Crystal was? Needless to say the wolf boy said nothing but he did step a little closer to the human girl, just to be on the safe side.
16 Aug, 2020, 7:30 pm
Theo had started sputtering as Boreas explained about Eater, "Wh-wh" he placed his hands on the sides of his head. He then shakes his head, "I believe you, you're related to Fiona, you're someone I believe can be trusted. But that is also a crazy thing to believe... Then again, Soledormir would do something twisted like that" he have a meager half smiled and then it faltered when he looked into the kitchen, to see his partner digging a sword into the Nightmare's back.
-
Aaliyah's sharp blue eyes narrowed as the Nightmare spoke, she faintly heard Crystal, but didn't acknowledge her yet. "No, if Nightmares were as stupid as you say, they would not be a threat, they'd have been annihilated a long time ago" she moves her blade back from his spine, twirling it and letting it rest at her side.
"I'll be watching you Nightmare" Glancing at Crystal as she spoke, "I know your kind, deception and lies are what you are. I've heard stories of some who play the long game for months, even years. You just admitted to not being stupid enough to attack anyone here and that you also /ate/ a human in the city" she tsk'd then looked to the human girl now.
"Becareful Crystal, defending a Nightmare? Even the foals know not to do that" Aaliyah lets her blade disspell, "And he just admitted to eating a person, a human, so..." she taps the side of her head with her index finger.
16 Aug, 2020, 7:30 pm
"A lot to take in, I know. Hard even for me to believe, but like you said, this Soledormir guy seems like something out of this world..." Boreas muttered. "...And this is why I've been hanging out with a Nightmare. I'm trying to learn what makes him tick..." He then followed Theo's gaze into the kitchen, watching as things seemed to calm down. "Hmm..."
For now, he stayed put, keeping an eye on things from the hall.
16 Aug, 2020, 7:30 pm
Dreameater never turns around to face Aaliyah even after she takes her sword away and dispells it, but he does turn his head to the other side to look over at Crystal. //I just said I'm evil, I'm crazy, and I've eaten someone, and yet she still doesn't want me to get hurt...? What...//
He gets very quiet at that, but he does make a rather casual remark back to Aaliyah as she declares her intentions. "Yeah, I know, you and every other person in the palace," he says, yet, he gets quiet after that once more... This time not because of someone's kindess, but because of the repeated mentions of him eating someone, and the emphasis put on that...
The Nightmare stares down at the container of hot chocolate mix in front of him, and gently takes it in one hand. He isn't so sure this will help him feel better with the new kind of sickness he's starting to feel...
16 Aug, 2020, 7:30 pm
Upon hearing a familiar voice enter her head, Crystal’s eyebrows raised in surprise, “I don’t know, I have a hard time believing you weren’t eavesdropping~” she mumbled her joke, hopefully quiet enough. She continued to watch the situation in front of her very carefully, but listened to what her Key was saying just as intently. The corner of her mouth turned upwards in a smile ever so slightly despite what was going on. Arthur’s words brought her some needed reassurance, and she was grateful for that. Because he was right, she did have a place, even if it wasn’t one of the typical kinds. She breathed out a soft laugh through her nose at what he said lastly, “Noted.”
Crystal watched Aaliyah when she turned her gaze on her, relieved when the sword finally disappeared. “I’m aware,” was all she said, preferring to keep her thoughts and reasonings to herself for the time being. Did she like that Eater ate a person? No, of course not. It was scary to think he could eat anyone he felt like. But he said it himself he wasn’t going to embrace those kinds of instincts, that he didn’t want to hurt or kill anyone else.. Crystal looked passed Aaliyah and at Eater for a moment. Whether he was faking this whole time or not she didn’t know, but something seemed too off for it to be entirely a mask..
16 Aug, 2020, 7:31 pm
Eira smiled at both Serenity and Catch. She had a feeling her friend would be okay, no matter what scary things could happen, and Purity had friends and family right by her side to walk with her through it all. She looked over her childhood friend, hoping inside that she'll be alright, then looked to Serenity. "Will you be staying with he r for now?"
16 Aug, 2020, 7:31 pm
Serenity watches as Catch goes over and holds Purity's hand, and she smiles at what he tells her. "I'm sure that'd only make her more anxious to wake up, if she could hear you," the Fairfin tells Catch, "But I know she'd appreciate that."
She then turns to Eira and nods her head. "Yeah, I'll be staying with her as she recovers. What're you two going to be up to after you're done here? Got any plans?"
16 Aug, 2020, 7:31 pm
Dreamcatcher held his warm smile as Serenity replied and then he said " I appreciate that, and if there anything you need just let us know "
The Dreamer prince then tipped his head in thought " hmm, Im not sure really, I want to check up on Weaver and see how he doing, I know Boreas ran after Eater... Im sure he can handle himself but..." he tapered off as he looked over to the Nurse in the room, they would probably want to have a look at Eira
16 Aug, 2020, 7:32 pm
(Maybe, I do have two other DS that work still (since I got a battery for my Zelda one) I'll still draw on my yellow one but only at home, I really do love drawing on the DS and I know it probably be getting harder to find them soon :/
Hmmm, though I might not since the switch should be coming out soon, save my money. AHHHH!
That really smells :/ I hope it not to hot for you and you can go eat soon! How much longer do you think you have to wait? )
16 Aug, 2020, 7:32 pm
(I'm pretty sure that's all~
Yeah, I did! It was a good time X3 )
16 Aug, 2020, 7:32 pm
(Ooh, that's a long while to be waiting in line. Hopefully things don't take too long so you can BECOME UN-BORED and go get something to eat!
Food is very important.
Ahh, I'm excited to see that ref too! X3
And thank you for the reposts, Lilly!)
16 Aug, 2020, 7:34 pm
(No problem! X3 *finger guns*)
16 Aug, 2020, 7:40 pm
( thank you Lilly!
It looks like my turn for the big group )
16 Aug, 2020, 8:14 pm
(I made it through! I AM NO LONGER BORED
AND I CAN EAT
I also made friends with the neighborhood cat)
16 Aug, 2020, 8:14 pm
[[ No me?! I don't know what you're talking~]] the king had a playfully tone. Arthur then stay quiet listening to his keeper and the others Exchange words. [[ hmm, there has been something amidst with that monster, im not sure what but I have found it rather odd with him following your party and yet hasn't try to kill any of you since the night he was born... didn't he rabble about some seal that made him Protect Boo? Maybe that could be it but why has he not act against any of you and your party members? Just because he meant to provide protection for one person doesn't mean he has to go out of his way for anyone else... hmmm... it could be for a trap, Sol done lower things but having a Nightmare be a spy like this, would draw to much attention.... hmmm, what are you really upto Sol?]]
Ethan stepped away when Aaliyah brought up really good points, trusting a Nightmare was crazy, they were some of the most Evilest Creatures. Even as Crystal spoke the wolf boy was surprised, he never meant someone like her.
As Aaliyah turned her attention to the human girl, Jasmine got closer to Dreameater, her lip Curl " you better know well take you down " she Threatened.
16 Aug, 2020, 8:16 pm
( FREEDOM!!
GO EAT BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE OR ILL uh, there not much I can do except spam you to go EAT!!
I like your new friend x3 )
16 Aug, 2020, 8:18 pm
(YAY!!
YUS. FOOD IS GOOD.)
16 Aug, 2020, 8:28 pm
Terra gets visibly more worried and fretful as he listens to Fiona, his glowing colors paling some and his eyes full of dread. "You--you lost control a-and h-had to be pinned down...?" he fearfully asks, leaning towards Fiona and lowering his head down a little.
"Yeah, it was pretty bad..." Sparky quietly admits as he gets up and floats over to a spot on the floor between Fiona and Terra, and tries to keep more of an optimisic tone as he continues, "But we got everything under control. See? She's doing better now, and now we know some more things on what to look out for... Right? Right Fuzzy?"
The ghostly Dreamer only glances anxiously between Fiona and his Fairfin.
16 Aug, 2020, 8:28 pm
(Fade just a reminder it your turn for Catch amd Eira :3 )
16 Aug, 2020, 8:31 pm
Aaliyah raised a brow at Crystal, she wasn't expecting such a short reply. //It's her funeral// she smirked when she heard Jasmine, "I think he's got the message, Jasmine" she gave Eater one last harsh look, then took her leave from the kitchen.
She waved Theo to follow her as she walked passed and avoided eye contact with Boreas.
Theo watched Aaliyah walk passed then looked to Boreas, "Good luck Boreas and stay safe" he knew Nightmares were dangerous, especially crazy ones, "Can you let me know if you figure out anything else?"
16 Aug, 2020, 8:39 pm
(HI Blood! )
16 Aug, 2020, 8:40 pm
(Hello)
16 Aug, 2020, 8:41 pm
(Lol X'DD I had a snack,, but now I wait for dinner to be ready so I can actually eat my fill

16 Aug, 2020, 8:47 pm
(Hi Blood! :3 )
16 Aug, 2020, 8:47 pm
(Hi~)
16 Aug, 2020, 8:48 pm
( food is good:) )
16 Aug, 2020, 8:53 pm
(At least ya had a snack, Fade~ X3 )
16 Aug, 2020, 9:00 pm
(How're you doing, Blood?)
16 Aug, 2020, 9:06 pm
(I'm good, you?)
16 Aug, 2020, 9:09 pm
(I'm doing good too~ It's nice to be able to relax XD How's your leg doing?)
16 Aug, 2020, 9:14 pm
(Being able to relax is always nice xD
Better, it's less swollen, but parts of it still hurt)
16 Aug, 2020, 9:16 pm
(OKAY, I'M BACK.
I also went to go get food.
And hey, Blood! I'm glad your leg is doing a bit better! Hope it keeps healing up.)
16 Aug, 2020, 9:20 pm
(Welcome back Fluffy! :3
I'm glad it's at least better, Blood, I hope it completely heals up soon and stops hurting :s )
16 Aug, 2020, 9:29 pm
Boreas didn't pay much mind to Aaliyah avoiding eye-contact, but he did nod to Theo. "Thanks. Anything else gets confirmed, I'll be sure to let you know ASAP.
Was nice meeting you both." He said that last part loud enough that Aaliyah could hear it, too, then gave Theo a half-smirk, and sort of a casual salute as a goodbye.
16 Aug, 2020, 9:36 pm
Dreameater only slightly glances at Jasmine out of the corner of his eye when she threatens him and Aaliyah makes her remark back to her, but he doesn't say anything. He looks back down at the container of hot chocolate in his hands, then slowly and cautiously turns around and makes his way over to Crystal. "... Hey, mind if I just hang around...?" the Nightmare quietly asks of her, giving her a slight, rather forced smile.
16 Aug, 2020, 9:37 pm
(I gotta go now, be back in a bit!!)
16 Aug, 2020, 10:02 pm
Malice Flared his nostrils, for now his flames would be a Blazing wall of protection, the heat to much for the Frost to bare, however he knew this wasn't over....even though this world Hindered their abilities the Nightmare king knew Waker was not done, he was Injured and his Lair...it wasn't any kings Palace, he did his best with his Condition but it had no healing pool to speed up his recovery, all he could do was Fortify it and let time heal himself, which both was lacking right now. this place that was more for an Omega then a King of Nightmares.
The Tunnel was on Verge of collapsing and his own fire could kill him if he wasn't careful, but it wouldn't be from the heat, that he could take, it was the lack of air... the smoke was heavy and as the fire burn less and less air.
Perhaps this was Dreamwaker plot? Let the king kill himself, Suffocate him with his own fire or maybe she was waiting...knowing Malice would Eventually have to cool his flames keep breaking.
16 Aug, 2020, 10:18 pm
Crystal nodded slightly as Arthur spoke, “it is odd..” she then tilted her head a bit, “I don’t know, none of it makes sense.. Let’s just hope it’s really not some trap..” she muttered.
The girl turned her eyes downward, staying very quiet as Jasmine gave Eater another threat, and as Aaliyah was leaving.
But when the Nightmare walked over and spoke to her, she looked up at him and met his forced smile with a small smile of her own, one that was kind and gentle. “No, I don’t mind at all,” she answered.
16 Aug, 2020, 10:26 pm
Fiona could practically feel the anxiety in Terra as he spoke and leaned closer to her. She looked to the floor as a wave of guilt and regret hit her, but then her attention was brought to Sparky as he tried to bring more light to the somber conversation.
The Elemental was grateful for that, and as she looked back up to her ghostly boyfriend, she did her best to bite back her own worriesome thoughts for both of them... But she wanted to say what she knew, instead of trying to hide things like she had done before. "...Yeah! Everything's okay now--/everyone's/ okay." She started off with a bit of extra re-assurance, "And we do know some more stuff, too! Suzano told me that if I feel overwhelmed, I should think about things I'm thankful for... And I can't fight this stuff off on my own, so I need some buddies who can help me out, or let me know when things are getting bad... And I need to control myself too--not freak out so much."
Then she took a moment to glance to her claws, "...She also said... My symptoms were like something of the past...? Which, yeah... I think she's gotta be right about that."
16 Aug, 2020, 10:36 pm
Eira gave Serenity a nod. "That's perfectly right. Thank you for keeping Purity company and looking after her. We'll help her get better - I promise."
The nurse looked between everyone and then focused on Eira. "Lady Eira, if you have the spare time, we need to investigate your case further and determine what it might be that keeps you alive today. If you would come with me," the Vaseterm said as she turned around, whisking her finger in the air as a motion to follow, and she headed towards the doorway.
Eira started to follow, then paused and looked back at Catch, seeing what he would do.
16 Aug, 2020, 10:37 pm
(I HAD DINMER)
16 Aug, 2020, 10:45 pm

(I HAVE RETURNED!)
16 Aug, 2020, 11:17 pm
(WELCOME BACK!)
16 Aug, 2020, 11:23 pm
Serenity puts her paws on her hips and holds her head high as she replies, "Yes! We will! She'll be better before we know it!" Then after hearing what the nurse said next, the lily Fairfin adds, "Good luck with your own corruption, Eira."
16 Aug, 2020, 11:23 pm
(ThaNK YOU!
AND FADE HAD DINmer

Malice ears Twitched, he could Barely made out something different from the loud crackling of flames, it grew longer and sounded like Metal scraping.// what in the moons?// he wasn't sure what the Ancient frost was doing but he knew it wasn't good.
Soon a shape took form down the Tunnel, one that made Malice's eyes widened as he Blurted out a no, no word.
A old Train engine was speeding down the tracks and heading full speed Towards the Injured king.... Malice wouldn't have time to Hobble out of the way and getting hit by a Speeding locomotive wouldn't be ideal if he Valued his life.
Malice was running out of options by the second, his wings were already in possession do to holding himself up, all he had to do is cast the spell... closing his eyes, Mal Shadowy wings fanned out, glowing green markings appear along the Black surface as he Muttered in the dark language, magic rings formed Beneath him and with the last words of his spell Malice shot open, Shadowy Beams came forth from his wings, they moved with Incredible speed Twisting and turning as if they were tentacles.
The tentacles Struck the Locomotive but they appeared to have done nothing, just go though it, not Leaving a mark or making a sound, it was like the train absorbed them... Suddenly a bizarre noise come from the Train as dark Static appeared around it and then it happened... the Train Exploded from the inside with dark magic, Waves from the shock wave ripped apart the Surrounding area, opened it up to the outside world, the Sudden rush of air Created a backdraft to Further the devastation, the flashover rushed with intense heat...however his spell was not done yet... as the debris was flying through the air it slowed down until it stopped in Mid air as if someone took a Photo graph. Everything was stopped, the flying rocks, the fire, even the force from the blast was frozen in place... the only thing that was in Motion was were the Center of the train would have been, but instead of a train was now a sphere made of the dark magic
16 Aug, 2020, 11:44 pm
Dreamcatcher was about to add to his wife's Promise when the nurse chime in, he meet Eira's gase and smiles, he wouldn't let her go alone, not this time.
He turned his attention back to his friend and nodded at Serenity " thank you, we will come back to check up on you both... Serenity you try to rest some to ok, Purity got the best looking out for her and that means you to "
Catch then turn back to Eira and took her hand " Im ready if you are " he said Warmly
17 Aug, 2020, 12:10 am
Jasmine rolled her eyes at the passing comment, she moved herself over to the Counter and leaned her back again it, she folded her arms and was given Eater a death glare.
Ethan rises his hand out as Aaliyah was Leaving, he opened his mouth but no words spilled out, he didn't want them to leave, not with the Nightmare still there but now they were gone.
The wolf boy wide eyes turned to Eater and then over to Crystal as they Exchange words, he Stiffened up with fear when the girl give her Permission to the Nightmare. A Small squeak Excape Ethan lips, he quickly pointed over to his table and then made haste over to it, His movements staff and forced he was trying not to look like he was rushing even though he really was. He took his set and cup his arms around his Cereal bowl and stared at it.
[[ well now, what a perfect opportunity for interrogation!]] Arthur Teased following up with some laughter [ but with all Seriousness, I don't have to tell you to be careful however, trust your gut, you got Intuition for a reason, just use your head so you don't lose it, that the best Advice a king can offer, that and if you really feel In danger you can always use me to maybe poke his eyes or may shove up his nose... uh, maybe not that Last one]]
17 Aug, 2020, 12:12 am
"Which means, you know," Sparky chimes in again, "You need to not freak out and worry so much either... Yeah, something bad happened, and it was really bad, but can't we just focus on the now and be thankful that we're all still here?"
Still, Terradream stays anxiously quiet, looking between Fiona and Sparky both as they speak, and twisting and curling his ribbons around, as if to try and rub them against each other nervously. "... W-well... Y-yeah... I'm... I'm glad you're ok..." Terra finally says, being as sincere as possible even if he is mumbling his words. He looks into Fiona's eyes for a moment, before glancing down at his notebook. "... H-how so...? Uh--about your s-symptoms being like the past...? Wh-what does that mean...?"

Theo grinned goofily, "I'll hold you to that Boreas" he then took off down the hall, after Aaliyah, "It was nice meeting you too! Now I gotta go die in a store, see you later!" he hollered as he ran.
17 Aug, 2020, 12:39 am
Boreas folded his arms, "Don't die too hard!" He added last minute as he watched the Vaseterm book it down the hall.
...Then he waited a moment. The kitchen was still rather tense, he didn't want to wait for the next big kaboom, but didn't want to complicate things, either. So, for the moment, he just leaned against the wall, watching and listening through the doorway to see where the situation would go next.

Dreameater is distracted right off the bat by Ethan's frantic behaviour, and stares at him for a moment before frowning, almost scowling at him. //Don't--Don't do that! I haven't eaten yet today, and you're just tempting me now...!// he considers snapping at the wolf boy, but keeps it to himself, as he's still feeling rather nauseous at the same time, and doesn't feel like being angry. "... Thanks," Eater sighs in return to Crystal, not even bothering to fix his fake smile as he pulls a chair out for himself beside the human girl, takes a seat, and slumps forward with his arms around his container of hot chocolate.
//... I really don't feel good... It must be Weaver, I guess thinking about eating people makes him sick... Which makes me sick... He needs to stop freaking out about eating people so I can feel better and drink this hot chocolate, so I can feel even better, right now I feel like I'd throw up if I tried to drink it,// Eater concludes, //And Crystal still doesn't know I'm possessed, he's gonna freaking give it away if he keeps making me feel like this!! And she's strange because she still doesn't want me getting hurt, even after hearing that I eat people and all... Maybe I could get her to help me, since everyone else is going to want to kill me to save him...?//
With that thought in mind, the Nightmare turns his eyes to look over at Crystal, and after a somewhat thoughtful pause, he quietly asks, "... You still don't want me to get hurt, huh? Even after what I said?"
17 Aug, 2020, 1:39 am
As she looked right back into Terra's eyes, Fiona wished she could reach out to him, hold one of his ribbons, or just do anything to help comfort him. But then he glanced down to his notebook and asked his question. "...Hey... Just take it easy... This'll probably sound kinda bad, but... I'm gonna tell you everything I know. We're gonna figure this out too, ok?"
Then she started her explanation slowly, "Ok! Suzano's been around for a LONG TIME, and she's treated people, even from back when Malice first showed up... She said that back then, it would take longer for an Elemental to go Rogue, and you could see more physical signs--like these." The Elemental lifted up her clawed hand, "...I've told you the symptoms of going Rogue before... But I've never heard of an Elemental getting claws and weird circuit patterns /before/ they go Rogue.
...I always thought it was just something weird with me, because... /Everything's/ like that." She mumbled.
17 Aug, 2020, 2:26 am
Terradream gives Fiona a slight nod, but stays quiet and writes down what she tells him in the notebook. "... S-so... Your symptoms a-are like... an Elemental's symptoms from before M-Malice...? H-how is that p-possible...?" he mumbles his questions, trying to stay on one train of thought--though it's pretty obvious he's still worrying about Fiona on the inside.
17 Aug, 2020, 2:37 am
Crystal glanced over at Ethan as she heard him squeak, and she watched as he quickly went back to his seat. ‘He must not like the idea of Dreameater staying..’ She thought worriedly, ‘I’m sure none of them do..’ Her gaze lingered for a moment longer before she looked away and listened to Arthur.
She raised an eyebrow at the King’s joke, “interrogation?” The girl paused and continued to listen, “That is good advice, thank you, Arthur. And don’t worry, I’ll use your key if I really think I need to.” Personally, Crystal didn’t think she’d ever need to use Arthur as a weapon, but she wasn’t going to completely rule it out either, just in case.
The girl turned her eyes back to the Nightmare when he sighed and thanked her, giving him a little nod in response. She watched him sit down, studying him a bit as he sat there hugging the hot chocolate. She could tell he didn’t feel well, but then again, neither would she after getting a sword pressed to her back and being threatened multiple times.
Crystal thought about what Eater went on to ask and she shook her head, “Of course not..” She shrugged, “I know that it makes me the only one, but I personally don’t feel like you should be hurt, or hated, or held at sword-point for giving into an instinct you’ve managed to suppress for as long as you have. Especially when you went out of your way as to not to harm any one of us here. I don’t like that you ate a person, but even I understand not being able to control a natural instinct sometimes, even when you want to.. And you said it yourself, you may be what’s considered evil and crazy, but you’re not dumb. Besides that.. I just don't like seeing people get hurt in general.."

The frozen Object's began to quiver, they started to move back, like someone had pushed the Reverse button on a moving Picture, everything was being drawn to the Swirling darkness... when an object got closer to the sphere it suffers turned black and it broke apart, they then drift into the darkness and made it grow. The mass of darkness counted and it appeared it wasn't going to stop.

// my, my, someone having some fun aren't they?...// Scarlet commented
Off in the distance stood a Skyscraper out form the haze of the rain, the old Train yard could not be seen at first but do the the event between Malice and Waker that wasn't the case... the Sound and Shockwave from the explosion got the closest Residents alerted, " indeed " a well dress man replied, he was Wearing a red suit, his brown hair slick back, he took two fingers and pushed the nose piece to his glasses to Readjust them " one of my resources is Currently in a dule with the king, however there has been some unfortunate developments... though it was only a matter of time before Dreamwaker found out the truth. "
// so what do you plan to do with her now?// the blood sword reply and then added Anxious.//Can...can I kill her?//
" not yet, she still has a place in the plot, but no worries you will taste blood soon..." the man replied.
With that Scarlet let out a Moun // ohhh, if it wasn't for this blast rain, I could be on the hunt... I am so very hungry... Why Void! Malice was left weak! I could have killed him! now he might die and not by meee! // the blood sword whined " because if you kill Malice yourself the plan would have failed... if you are to kill him it needs to be in the boys hands " Void replied Plainly, he wanted Malice dead but he had to work around Soledormir rules.
Scarlet let out a frustrated grunt // it been so long since I tasted an ancient...// she them hummed with delight// though Dreamer are even sweeter~ he was so close Void, so close! He had his chance and he...//
" he chose Mercy " Void smirked " not something a prince of darkness should have now is it?" The man played his hand under his chin as he stared out the window, he knew what was going on between Malice and Waker, his shades were watching, but that what he wasn't finding amusing right now, but his half sister.
// ITS BECAUSE OF THAT --// Scarlet Exploded with fury at just the thought of Crystal however she couldn't Finish her rant before Void Silenced her.
Void snapped at Scarlet, speaking in the dark language, { do not make a Seen here Scarlet! blood will be Spelt but in /mine/ timing, not yours!}
///.... fine, but /I/ will kill her!//The red jacket Void was wearing had formed Quills on it but they soon Melted back down and it looked back to being a blood red jacket// Then the price will start getting better again~ oh, the poor thing, Void he trapped there with those monsters, you know they will only make him sicker... Dilute his power...we both seen this last night... Void // the blood sword Voice began to crack with her emotions // he Changing... I can sense it, Void... we have to save him, he can't stay, let me save him, please for all that is good let me go to him, at least speak with him in dreams, he needs to know I haven't abandoned him, I still believe there good in him, he can come back, that his nightmares will go away//
Void said nothing, he just started out the window, his mind going over his Schemes, much was at play here, a unseen game between 4 players " which one will win? What is really more valuable?...The Kings or the pawns? "then smoke began to rise but shortly it stopped and now, even from the Skyscraper the Black sphere could be seen. " what?!" Void drop his hand not expecting this
17 Aug, 2020, 3:15 am
"I... Don't really know. Suzano didn't know that either." Fiona muttered, looking to her own notebook momentarily, "Things were a lot different before Malice showed up. Corruption was more like a poison than... What it is now. Not just for Elementals either--for Dreamers too. They both were kinda immune to corruption...
...I don't feel like I'm anything like that, though... These things steal magic--just like a Rogue from today would..." She frowned at her claws.
17 Aug, 2020, 3:50 am
[Just remember not in the nose! ] Arthur Teased, he then went quite, he wanted this to be something Crystal did but he listened and chime in if he felt he needed to
Ethen Occasionly gave me nervous glances over at the two but he said no more.
Jasmine still held her unpleasant look, she kept her thoughts to herself for the moment but None of them were good. The Dragon shapeshifter lip Twitched with Irritation // how can she said that?! He a freaking Nightmare, they don't deserve being treated kindy, they sure don't Do the same to their victims // she couldn't stand it and turn her head away, that when she spotted Boreas in the hallway, she hadn't seen him before but knew of other blue Person " Wait there's another one?!" She Blurted out, she got off the wall and went to get a closer look
17 Aug, 2020, 4:03 am
The ghostly Dreamer writes that all down in his notebook, and stares down at the pages, not sure where to go from there. //It sounds like it does the same to your mind too, if you had to be pinned down...// Terradream mentally worries, but keeps quiet until he glances over at Fiona's claws as well. "Is... W-was there anything about it be-being reversable back then...? O-or, I guess, b-better taken care of...? I-if it were like poison, were there 'antidotes' b-back then...?" he asks.
17 Aug, 2020, 4:14 am
Boreas was still just waiting and listening. He could tell things were calming down somewhat, but then he noticed that... Well, he'd been noticed.
"Welp, mission hide-n-seek is a bust." He muttered jokingly as Jasmine approached, "...I assume by another one, you've likely met a certain loud, armored cloud lady?" He asked once she was close enough that he could still lay relatively low.
17 Aug, 2020, 4:40 am
Fiona paused, still watching Terra as he wrote everything down. She could tell he was still worried, which made her worry for his wellbeing right back, but she tried to keep going. "Uh... Well... She seemed to know of ways to fight it off--like what I already told you. She didn't really say anything about an antidote, just that..." The Elemental briefly debated whether or not she really wanted to share this part, "...That it would kill Elementals. At some point, it changed and suddenly Rogues started showing up... /But no!/ We've already started on doing some of the stuff Suzano told me to do! We got Alex in on it now, and Suzano's looking into things more... Weaver even knows about this stuff too, though he's going through a lot, too..."
17 Aug, 2020, 5:19 am
Listening intently to what Crystal says, Dreameater just stares at her as she talks (ignoring the comments she made to Arthur out loud--he's not surprised that even her Key is trying to give her ideas to use against him), and he slightly turns his head to stare at her easier. There must be a lot going through his head, as he's quiet after that for a good little while, only occasionally tapping his fingers on the table, and the expression on his face gains a little bit of fear to it. "... No... No, you don't understand..." the Nightmare quietly begins to make his reply, "It's not just like it's some natural instinct, I--Crystal, I /killed/ someone...!" At this, he sits more upright to look more directly at her, though he seems to start shaking a little, too. "And, even at that, I didn't just kill him, that wasn't enough, I... Nightmares--Nightmares eat more than just meat, you know, they feed on the fear and pain of others, I knew I couldn't just go out and kill a whole bunch of people to keep me going for a while, so I... I..."
Even his voice now matches how badly he himself is shaking, as the young Nightmare looks away from Crystal and leans forward, mostly covering his eyes with his hands and staring out between his fingers. //Sh--shh--shut u-up, Weaver, shut up, shut up, shut up!!// Eater tries to tell the soul inside him that he doesn't hear, but then tries to still continue what he was saying in some hope that he can pull something off without contradicting himself--which at this point might as well be impossible-- "I-I tortured him, y-you know... Slowly... To get... as much agony out of him as possible, you know...? B-but that was--ah, what a couple nights ago...? I don't d-do that anymore though, because it gets me sick, you see? I--I'm trying to eat normal food, like a normal person... But... I haven't... eaten anything this morning... And I know if I try to... to eat anything right now, I'll throw it back up... I already feel sick..." He breathes out a shaky sigh and whispers at the end: "I don't want to eat anything ever again..."
