Hallo~ :3

Hellooooo!

Hi Fluffy! How're you doing? :3

I'm doing alright! Wondering about what to get to eat. XD

How about you?

Haha, I'm actually doing the same XD

Aside from that, I'm good, I've been listening to that orchestra arrangement of In The Final over and over lately 'XD

'TIS FOOD TIME.

That's good! Sounds like fun!
...That's a very good song.

I came back from eating to discover Tiger closed my internet browser!! RRrrrrrrrrr

But yes, very good song~ -w-

Helloooooo I'm on time! ~For the first time in forever~

How is everyone? x3

Tiger is very good at doing that, it seems...

Hey Fade! I'm doing alright!
How about you?

Hey Fade! :D Good to see ya! :D

I'm good, I just ate food XD
How're you? :3

HI Fluffy and Lilly! Glad to hear you are good, and fed! xD

I'm doing alright! Working on homework, since classes started last week xD Thankfully I'm almost done with it now, and I have nothing else going on today, so I can enjoy the roleplay!

My best friend told me that candles are how we keep fire as a pet, and this realization makes me very happy.

That's good to hear, Fade! :3 Good luck on that homework! X3

That's an amazing realization, and I love that X'D

Ahh nice! Glad you can have fun with the RP today! Good luck with your homework and future classes!

That realization makes me very happy too.
...I'm also just picturing someone looking at a candle and going: "Who's a good little fire? You are!"

Mmm, I guess I can see about getting reposts a going?~

Terra stays quiet as Fiona explains, and he frowns upon learning who she stole magic from, but he remains quiet for a little bit even after she's done, thinking over everything they've already talked about. The ghostly Dreamer glances over at Sparky, who smiles hopefully at him, and the tiniest of smiles comes across Terradream's face as he quietly, finally speaks up. "... I'm... I'm really glad everyone's ok... Y-you and Catch, both... But... What can we do a-about your claws? It seems l-like it'd be easy to accidentally st-stab someone else with them..."

Fiona tried her hardest not to let her worries show in her expression, but she couldn't help but feel them as Terra stayed quiet for a while. However, she managed a little smile along with the ghostly Dreamer when Sparky silently brought some optimism to the conversation.
"Yeah, we /really/ should do something about them..." She glanced to her claws again, narrowing her eyes...
She went with the first idea that came to her mind, "...Think we could cut them off?
Oh! I could use Shockwave!!"

Malice was Making haste to the best of his abilities, his movements were slow down by him Limping, even with using his wings like some wyvern do, it still felt so slow to him // there no other Nightmares besides Waker and Eater...// he Grumbled under his breath, if he could have gotten his claws on Another Nightmare he would have killed them to make a healing pool but to his Misfortune he couldn't since any others in this world.

And as for the Nightmares in this world, Waker was trying to out run his attack and as for Eater? he didn't know were he was, just that he was somewhere in this world.

.

The Nightmare king Hobbled his way do the Tunnel, he stopped at a Junction, their was Several directions he could go, Malice stood there for a moment like he was Contemplating something, his ears Twitched " I know you're watching Void...." the wolf turned and Scanned his surroundings he could not see anything out of place nor could he since anything with his hunting since but he knew Void had eyes Watching " I will make myself clear.... anything you have done to Judas, I will Return to you in full!...know this, you will not know my Mercy!" Malice wings Stretched out " I'll be the one to send you back to HELL! "He took the Talons on his wings slamme into the ground as the webbing of his wings fanned out, in that moment a Unseen pulse shot from the king of Nightmares...

Jasmine just looked at Boreas for a moment and blinked a few times // did he just make a pun? moons I hope not... Jason better not show up anytime soon or this could get worse...//

After Shaking hands the dragon shapeshifter Frowned looking over at Eater and Crystal " what do you mean by that?... I mean something seem /really/ off with him, I mean I know he some special Case, otherwise he be dead right now but he all Twitchy... I don't like it "

"I don't blame you--I've taken up nightguard duty and have been keeping an eye on him for the majority of the day. He's a strange one, but there may be more to it than we think..." Boreas started, turning his attention to Jasmine.
From the experience he had, he trusted Crystal not to do anything rash. That didn't mean he was just going to ignore everything that went on in there...

On the other hand, he had no clue how Jasmine would take this information. He thought it was best to share it either way--better to have more people in the know, than let a crazy Nightmare go about being crazy with no explanation.
"This'll sound bonkers, and I'd suggest keeping it on the low--particularly around him...
Today, a few of the Keyhunters found evidence that his former self is still alive, and his soul is stuck in there. Eater mostly has control, which makes things... Difficult.
Especially when he acts even more nutty, because he knows about it."

[[ Whoa, Whoa? What this about some crystal not you Crystal?]] Arthur was trying to put Piecing together but he was very limited in what he could do.

The king Cleared his throat [[ alright, Process of elimination...]] he Paused and then Went back to his goofy tone [[ not the kind he was talking about ether... hmmm so what do we know? Nightmares are supposed to be like any other dark Creatures, the darkness ether kills the The individual and wears their skin or the Darkness manifests a person evil desires... until those desires are all that left... that how Sol Corruption always has been....]] the king got quiet again, his words cared his weight of the past [[that what we thought the Nightmares were to... they were monster, twisted hust of people...but how did Sol do this? What did Soledormir really do?...if Weaver back in his body Why does Eater have control? Or why hasn't Eater done what he did with Weaver like he did before? Kick him out? Hmmm, ughhh! Sol this is one nasty trick you set up all along]]

Crystal’s head suddenly snapped up, “What? Eater, no.... I just said I’m not hurting anyone.. And I’m pretty sure what you said a moment ago counts as hurting someone.. Sorry, I was just.. Maybe there’s something else we could do?”

She then paused to listen to Arthur again, not sure yet whether it would be a good thing to remind Eater about him, but also not sure how to keep the conversations separate.. She smirked very slightly at the King’s joke, but went to a thoughtful expression just as quickly, “What crystal are you talking about? And why did you break it?” she asked Eater, pausing again then soon asking another question, “Did you notice him or any of this at all before the crystal?”

Eira returned Catch’s smile, and she walked side by side with him through the door.

The nurse led them through a hall into a new room where there was lab tech and materials strewn about tables, and paperwork stored in numerous files on shelves. She beckoned to two chairs by a desk, so Eira approached and sat down neatly in one of them, turning her head to look around at the research room.

The nurse dug through a file full of papers before pulling out a document and sitting at the desk, splaying the papers out before them. Some of the pages had simple illustrations, showing face portraits of various people. “If you look into these reports of previous recorded victims, you’ll find varying scenarios but the same mysterious conclusion.” The Vaseterm started with one page and scrolled a finger over it. “First recorded victim: Charlene Wyspark. Species: Fire elf. Case: attacked by the beast on her evening stroll, and struck in the chest with corruption. Taken to the hospital first, with no helpful treatments found. Turned in to our Vaseterm medical experts. No improvement. Fought the corruption best she could, till it took over. She broke out of the infirmary and vanished into the unknown.” She flipped to another page and continued. “Second case: Lark Celie. Species: Phoenix shifter. Attacked in her bird form, and was unable to shift back to humanoid. Lost control within four days and escaped into the night.” The Vaseterm sifted through the other pages, reading bits and pieces. “Avain, dragon shifter, struck on the neck and lost in five days. Did some damage before he escaped. Piccolo, Venatavis, fought the corruption for ten days then vanished.”

The nurse shut the folder over the papers. “Same story every time. Taken over, controlled by some invisible dark force, vanished without a trace. The cycle seems unbreakable. And yet, we have one unique break in the link.” She set her clipboard on top of the file, filled with notes and sketches of Eira. “An griffin shifter, fully in control. Sane, alive. Corrupted, yes, but you have freedom. You’re not driven by some dark force to attack others and then take off into the night. The question is, why you?” The nurse tapped a pencil to her lip in thought. “You are not special from them in species or age. Two were females, three were shifters, one even avian. All are magic users. So what is different about /you/?”
She sat forward, a brow raised at Eira, who gave a confused look in return. “Call me superstitious, but I wonder what strings of fate pull you from death’s grip. These victims were ordinary citizens throughout the realms, with no special story attached. You, however… You are said to be part of an ancient prophecy. The prophecy does not guarantee you heroine plot armor, but who else could wrestle with corruption this long except for someone chosen by fate itself to survive? I cannot imagine any scientific explanation except for something special in your soul, something that drives you onwards. Silly train of thought to explore for a scientist, huh?” she huffed, sitting back in her chair.

Dreamcatcher took the empty chair, he sat there quietly All while the nurse explained, his face shown a mixture of emotions// so many... they all ended the same? But they all had things that were different except they had magic... //

The Dreamer prince Frowned when the Nurse started going off about Eira, he looked the Nurse right in the eyes " Ma'am trust us, we know being part of a Prophecy doesn't mean you have protection... look how many of our group have die or had Terrible things happen to them... I know Eira could to but why or who pick us? It had to be for some reason right?... couldn't anyone just pick up a key? So why us? There has to be something right?"

Catch Look towards his wife and took her hand with his, he Believed in her but he still was fearful, he didn't know what made her different, maybe she fought harder or just had a stronger will but surely someone else had to been fighting for their life to, so what made Eira different? And that was what Frightened him, the unknown

(I think that's all for reposts, but I actually wrote my next post for Eater last night, so I'll post that too~)

Eater scrunches his face up a little at first, and huffs in return, saying, "That's why I was confused, I thought you just agreed to help me kill him after saying that..."

He tips his head slightly when she smirks, but he's quickly distracted with the human girl's next questions... /Very/ distracted. The young Nightmare stares at Crystal for a long while, contemplating hard on what he should say--after all, at this point, he's done a poor job of painting it as he "might" have Weaver inside him, he just now admitted he wants to kill him again... Though perhaps he wasn't trying to convince Crystal as much as he was trying to convince himself, as now he's coming to a conclusion, and, well... Eater kind of starts to lose it. "It... was the crystal in Void's palace... His heart, the source of his power..." Dreameater starts to explain calmly enough, though that's going to change very quickly, "I broke it because... Because I wanted to stop Void!"

He bites his lip and scowls, throwing arms into the air and throwing his head back, almost losing his hat in the process. "... FINE! It's true!! I AM POSSESSED BY WEAVER!" he suddenly shouts at the ceiling, "I saw Dreamer faces in the crystal! Hundreds of thousands of Dreamers, everytime the heart beat, the faces changed, and then I heard Weaver talking to me! The Dreamers /don't/ die when they turn into Nightmares! Their souls are sent to Void's heart!!" He leans forward again, growling and slamming his fists on the table. "I mocked him, I mocked Weaver to his face, and he told me he had been watching everything I'd ever done, he saw everyone I ever killed, and was powerless to do anything the whole time... I thought I was lucky, being the only one who went searching for Void's heart, I was the only one there, so I took it as an opportunity to finish him off for good, I was going to kill /all/ the Dreamers...

... And THAT'S WHY I broke it!! I stabbed the heart with my sword to try and KILL THEM!! They all should have died when it exploded, but they DIDN'T!! And Weaver found his way back into me somehow!! That's why I've been getting sick! It only started happening after leaving there, after I did that, that first night back home Boo told me she loved me and I felt something cold! That was the first time that happened, and it's only gotten worse since! And that's why I throw up when I eat people, I can torture and kill them and enjoy myself just fine, but it's when I calm back down I start throwing up! It's because of Weaver!! Eating people scares him and makes him sick, which makes ME sick!! And now I'm on this STUPID 'diet' of trying to eat food like you freaking normal people, and even still I get sick just /thinking/ about eating people at the wrong time!! So yes, it's true!! Catch DID feel two wills inside me! Nevaeh DID see his star in my eyes! AND I FREAKING SAW HIS FACE REFLECTED IN MY SWORD!!"

The Nightmare practically slams his face into the table and moans after his loud declaration, pushing his hat up and knocking over his hot chocolate container. At least he never opened it...

(NNNOVELS!)

(Oh yeh)

(Thas a good novel.)

(Thank ye :3 )

(Thank you! x) I am 100 percent the kind of person who would talk to my candle like that x'D I will get emotionally attached to anything if I let myself XD

Ooooh reposts, and novels. Very good novel~)

(That's adorable X'D Let's hope no assassin wind snuffs out the poor little thing, huh? ':D

Thank you~ X3 )

(My candle is making sounds! Little clicks, it must be content and purring)

(Hahaha XD )

(That would be so sad UoU I shall protect my pet)

(PROTECC THE PET FIRE)

(For some reason, I read that first part of Fades comment as "Making candles sounds fun", and I was about to mention that it actually /is/ fun making candles, then realized that's not what the post said.. xD I have no idea why I thought it said that because it's nothing along those lines, I'm just going to blame my lack of proper sleep. x3)

Eira and the nurse looked to Catch as he spoke up, expressing his confusion on what could make them so special form everyone else. Eira nodded in agreement. "We really aren't different from everyone else... We simply grouped together, as friends, to confront the evil that is coming. We're monster Hunters; it's our job. And it wouldn't be right to /not/ do anything after knowing what's trying to attack our homeland."

The nurse looked between the couple and responded, "Yes, your backgrounds and lives are quite normal as most others are, and you are not the only ones who have had monster encounters. I will take a test of your blood to see what possible physical difference exists. But what I cannot help but presume is," she pointed a finger to Eira's chest, "There's something going on in there that keeps the darkness at bay." She pointed to Catch's chest as well, including him. "You're stronger than you think. Don't let go of the things you fight for - you're saving yourself in the process."

(Hey Galaxy! Hahaha, I get that. XD
...Making candles does sound fun.

I hope you can get some better rest soon, though!)

(I think we've all been there before, Galaxy 'XD I ditto Fluffy, I hope you sleep well tonight~ How're you doing aside from that? :3 )

(Hi Galaxy! Haha, it would've been fun and funny if you responded to that anyway XD Have you made candles before? I haven't, but it sure does sound fun x3)

"Mmm...?" Terra mumbles at first, looking back to Fiona, then his eyes widen and he quickly stutters, "Wh-what? Oh, no--well--Y-you shouldn't use Sh-shockwave, that sounds dangerous, and a sword like that would be imprecise... If--if you're going to cut them off, or try to, you should maybe see about getting one of the nurses to help you with that, or s-someone who knows how to cut cleanly and carefully like that..." The ghostly Dreamer thinks on that a bit more, glancing between Fiona's face and her claws, but then suggests, "... M-maybe instead of cutting them off... Maybe we could get something to cover them...? Trying to cut them off sounds dangerous, a-and for all I know, they could just grow back... Could we put something on the claws to prevent you from st-stealing magic with them...?"

(Haha, hiya guys.
Thanks, I'm hoping to get some better sleep soon, too. x3 And other than that, I'm doing alright. This week was a bit of a mess, but it's over now, so yay. XD Are y'all doing well?

Lol, missed opportunity, but yeah, I have made candles before, and it was a fun experience. Messy for sure, but definitely fun. Especially when it came to finding smells to put in them and decorating the jars~ My favorite was a pomegranate one that kind of just smelt like fruit-punch kool-aid instead.)

(Aww, sad to hear this week was a bit of a mess for you, but at least it's over :3

I'm doing good! X3

That does sound like a lot of fun~ :) I've never even thought about making candles before 'XD )

(Aww I'm sorry to hear that Galaxy, a messy week can be unpleasant inside. I'm glad it's over at least x')

That's so cool! That sounds really nice x3 I'll have to try that sometime! The store I work at has candle wax to make candles with...)

(Aww, yeah, I'm glad you've got a break Galaxy. Crazy weeks are never fun. Hopefully the next one goes a bit smoother for ya, too.

I'm doing pretty good too!

Oh my goodness, a kool-aid scented candle sounds amazing. XD
I've never really thought about making candles before either, but it definitely sounds like it'd be a neat thing to try!)

(... I have a feeling it'll be a slow RP day, with poor Shadow being pulled around all over the place 'XP )

(Yeah, I'm glad it's over too. XD And I'm glad to hear you guys are doing good also!

It was an amazing candle. I actually still have about half of the last one left and refuse to burn it because I don't want it to be gone. x)

It's definitely not a typical crafty project in my opinion, but worth trying at least once if you like the idea of it. :))

"...But... Shockwave..." Fiona very quietly protested at first--specifically at the mention of it being imprecise. However, immediately after that, she silently listened and thought about what Terra was saying.
...Yeah, he made a good point. Especially since it hadn't even been that long since she'd finally admitted that trying to do things on her own wasn't a good idea--and neither of them knew what might happen if she did try it. Despite a small part of her still wishing that she could use Shockwave, the Elemental nodded in agreement, "Okay, you're right. Trying to figure out a way to cover them up is a better idea..."
Getting a good look at her claws again, she said, "...We're gonna need something really tough to keep these covered up--I mean... They poked through Catch's really tough arm." She mumbled that last part.

(I hope it's at least a nice birthday party~)

(Me too!)

(I hope she's doing alright too x')

( hello, im home now! Sorry for the delay guys, things been a little hectic ':s

The party was nice, got to see some family I haven't in years
Still no new on how Sugar doing though)

(Hi Shadow! Welcome home!~ :D

I still hope she's doing alright, maybe you'll hear something before too long :s )

( thank you ^-^
I hope so, she a though woman, i feel more bad for the Nurse and Doctors who have to deal with her ':s )

(Welcome home Shadow! Glad it was a nice party.

Yeah, I hope she'll be alright too. ':s
Hopefully there's a good doctor or nurse there who'll know how to work with her.)

(Mhm, mhm, I ditto Fluffy 'XP )

( thank you Fluffy ^-^

I really hope so to, were all just waiting for a call to know more )

Terradream only stays silent when Fiona quietly protests, attempting to nervously rub his ribbons together while he goes over what he said again. He looks a little relived when Fiona finally relents, and he nods his head in agreement. "... Maybe one of the Vaseterm here knows h-how to make armor? Perhaps we could get you a--a gauntlet of some kind for your hand..."

The ghostly Dreamer pauses a moment before adding on one more thing: "... A-and, hey, Shockwave might not be good for that, b-but it's good for other things, you know... Things that a surgical knife o-or scalpel wouldn't be good for... It's a good s-sword..." Terra says, smiling faintly.

[[ Confused, you and me both ]] the king made comment about the Nightmare, he then listened for a bit [[ a crystal at Voids place... he actually went there? ]] he followed this with a Suspicious 'hmmm' Arthur knew about Void, him and the other kings had there run in with Soledormir will before [[ something not right about this.... just hear me out, Thousands of years of searching for Voids Stronghold and we the king had no Avail but then suddenly the chosen get an Invite?... it smells like a setup to me ]]

As Dreameater continues with his rant but shifted into a outburst confession of what happened at Voids Palace and the truth about Weaver, Arthur was silent....

The king did not say a word, what Eater said was a piece of the puzzle that had been missing for so long, but instead of feeling like some kind of great Accomplishment was made, it came more to a kick to Arthur gut, about everything everyone thought they knew about Nightmares was a lie, that they were more than just Corrupted creatures, that Soledormir Had achieved a level of evil no one thought was possible.

reality of what Soledormir had done had sunk in, what all the Dreamer who became Nightmare had gone through and no one knew, everyone believed they were dead or there evil had Consume them to appoint were there was no hope, Centuries of trying to save them only added to the belief that the Dreamer was dead, because no matter how hard anyone try no Nightmare had ever been cure [[... it became you had them all along... we could never cure them because we didn't save them...we didn't know the truth...]]

[[I knew he hated Dreamers but this?... ]] Soledormir had Created a master plan, one that bloody more hands then anyone had ever realized, After a moment of silence the king finally Whispered [[ he named him Malice....]]

-

Ethan dropped his Spoon with what Eater said, he Sat there for a moment with his eyes wide and his mouth just as open " w-hat?... t-hat can't be true" he yelps but he closed his mouth soon after, he knew what midnight walker could see, what Nevaeh or himself could see someone soul though their eyes

Jasmine was given the Captain a Doubtful look as he explained " yeah, that sounds pretty bonkers " she rises an eyebrow at him " a Dreamer trapped in a Nightmare? Isn't the Nightmare a Dreamer just evil? So if this is true is it like Weaver good versus evil side or something? I don't think following"

But then the Nightmare began to rant and shout, that only Confused her more " What?! What that Supposed to me?" She Thrusted her arms out

"Ooooh, yeah! A gauntlet would work great!
...I've never had one of those before..." Fiona muttered thoughtfully, grabbing up her pencil and jotting that down in her notebook. "There's gotta be someone here who could help us with that... I mean, I know some stuff about making armor too, but /I haven't really had much experience, I guess.../
...Maybe we could work with whoever we find to make something /extra-poke-proof!/"
She set her pencil down on her notebook as she started thinking about who might know things about that. Said pencil quietly began a desperate escape attempt down the page and onto the floor...

Which Fiona failed to notice even more as Terra made his comments about Shockwave. She grinned up at him and even laughed a tiny bit, "Aww, thanks!
You're right about that too--that's why mini kitchen swords are a thing, and even mini-er medical swords--or... Scalpels.
Shockwave is great at being Shockwave!"

Dreamcatcher Agreed with his wife, they had to do something to protect there loved ones and home, even knowing what behind it all.

He listened quietly as the Nurse explained Further, he was curious if Eira had some unknown magic blood to that was saving her but when the Nurse pointed at his wife Chest and then to his, a puzzle look cross his face " are hearts? " the Dreamer prince then looked over to his wife // what we fight for?...could it really be love that making the difference? // it sounded like something from a story book, he liked those kind of tales but could that really be what was saving Eira? What was saving them both?

(Hi there Shadow! Glad you could join us! I'm glad the party went alright too ^-^)

Eira gazed at Catch as he responded to the nurse, also wondering inside what that could possibly mean. //There's something in our hearts that protects us? Does fighting for what we care about make that huge of a difference, compared to those who fell to darkness before us?// She gave a faint shrug of her shoulders and said, "Well... If following our hearts is what keeps us alive, then I suppose I'll just keep living as I do... I wouldn't say no to the blood test, though," she added quickly, certainly not wanting to turn down the offer to further investigate her condition. "Is there any other way I can help with your research?"

The Vaseterm nurse stood up and walked to another part of the room as she responded. "I'll just give you a brief checkup, and then you'll leave the blood test to me," she said. She collected a small bag and walked back to the desk, pulling out her chair to sit in front of Eira. Not really asking for permission first, the nurse retrieved some tools and shone a light into Eira's eye, then opened her mouth and looked in, probing Eira's face all over with a stick as the griffin shiftress sat there uncomfortably. The nurse took a piece of tape, put it on Eira's arm, and casually inserted a syringe, making it look easy and painless. Eira watched in reluctant intrigue as the syringe slowly filled with dark, tainted blood, a black essence almost seeming to pulse through the life juice. Its motions almost reflected the nurse's description of the darkness seemingly having a life of its own.

Just as smoothly as she injected it, the Vaseterm pulled the syringe out and bagged it with the other tools. She dropped it on the desk and rolled her chair back into position so she could scribble on paper more. "That should be all. You're free to leave now, but don't go far. Not like you should be leaving this area in the first place," she murmured.

( thank you Fade! Im glad to be home, the party was nice but so is my bed xD )

Instead of answering Jasmine right away, Boreas' attention was pulled to Eater's outburst. He was silent for a few moments, even after he was done, but eventually he mumbled to himself, "Hm... What stage would partial acceptance be in this...? Not anywhere close to the last."

Then he looked to Jasmine and shrugged, "I've heard a lot of theories--I myself even thought that Nightmares were evil Dreamers for most of my life. But with what we're seeing here, I think there's something bigger going on...
Like say, Dreamers' souls existing somewhere else while Nightmares get to run wild in their bodies. If Weaver's soul being in Eater caused Catch to sense two wills from him... And causes Eater to have to stop hunting normally because he gets sick...
Are Nightmares really /just/ evil Dreamers?"

"There's a first time f-for everything..." Terra mumbles in return, likewise taking his pencil to his own notebook and writing down things about Fiona, getting her a gauntlet, and the stuff she said about Rogues on the next page. He gives her a goofy smile afterwards and nods his head again, but he doesn't really know what to say other than: "Y-yeah..."
At least, not until he thinks a little more on something she brought up. "... Uh... Uh, if you don't mind me asking... You--you know some about making armor yourself...?"

(That is very relatable xDD)

Catch was Chewing on that thought, it seem to Simple but was it really? How many had been attacked over the years and yet Eira was different.

The Dreamer prince look to Eira when she spoke her mind and a smile can to his lips as he add " I will to, we have to be doing something right " he said with Optimism.

rocking his jaw, Catch watch the Discolored blood of his wife, he seen corrupted blood before and it always was Unsettling, he sat there Patiently until the Nurse was done " Thank you ma'am... you given us a lot to think about and please let us know if you need anything else... I doubt we be going anywhere to far for the moment, we still need to Collect ourselves after everything "

After Eater huffed and spoke, Crystal just mumbled another little “Sorry..” and went back to looking away. At least, until the purple Nightmare started to stare at her for an uncomfortable amount of time in complete silence, then she stole nervous glances at him. She could tell he was thinking, or at least hoping that’s why he was staring, but that didn’t necessarily make it any less unsettling.

When he began to speak, Crystal fully set her gaze back on him and listened, glad to be getting some sort of explanation, but she was quick to pick up on Eater’s changing demeanor and tensed up a noticeable amount when the Nightmare scowled and threw his arms and head around.

The girl mindlessly gripped the side of her seat with one of her hands, her breath caught in her chest as Eater suddenly snapped and started shouting.
As her King spoke up about them getting their invitation to that creepy place, Crystal knew Arthur was on to something.. Why would they of all people get to be in such a place when not even the King’s could find it.. What reasons did it serve and what part of their evil plans did it fit into..
Crystal continued to observe Eater’s every movement carefully, more so than she had already been doing before, but despite it, still flinching when he hit the table with his fists.

The girl was at a complete loss for words when he finally quit his spill. She was trying to wrap her mind around everything he just said, everything Arthur mentioned, and make since of it too.. She had gotten the accidental hints that Weaver was indeed within him, but everything else was a lot to process. “O..Okay..” She stuttered, momentarily silent again before going on, not even sure if she should or which of her questions to ask, but not wanting to waste the opportunity for more information, “So, you.. You wanted to stop Void, why exactly? I mean, I know he’s bad, but..” She began to raise her other, slightly shaky hand, but didn’t know what to do with it and put it back down, “Did you technically free all the trapped Dreamers when you broke that crystal? What happens to all of them, and Void, if they aren’t in his heart? And why were they sent to him in the first place..?”

Crystal suddenly stopped as her Key whispered, “Arthur, what is it about Malice?” she asked, a little more quietly than her other questions.

(Poor Crystal X'D )

Fiona nodded, "Yeah, I do! Metal forging is kind of a family thing for me.
...I can't do it exactly the way my dad does it, but..." She knocked a little on her armor with her left hand, "I made my own armor--with the help of an awesome friend of mine!
I even still have the sketches for it in my old diary."

(Poor Crystal, indeed. X'D)

(xD)

"Void's evil and he kidnapped Catch, Omen left a message telling me to look for Void's power source..." Eater mumbles into the table, "Seeing and hearing Weaver in there only made me want to smash it more, but I don't know what I really did..." He lifts his head up just a little so he can rest his chin on his arms, though it's clear he's still upset by his foul expression alone. "I have no clue if I freed them all or not, Void's palace started falling to pieces after I destroyed his heart, and I guess since Nevaeh only saw one star in my eyes, I've only got Weaver's soul in me... The Dreamers could either be trapped and lost forever in darkness, in the void, or they all went back to their Nightmares bodies, where they're now trapped again, feeling and going through whatever the Nightmare does..."

Dreameater gets a bit quieter after saying that, and loses some of that violent energy he had, as if thinking about the possible fates of the Dreamers has made him more somber. "... No one knows about this, though... So if the Dreamers /did/ go back to their bodies... The Shadow Hunters would kill them, thinking nothing of it, they'd only see the Nightmare, a monster... And I don't think they'd be like me, I'm a freak of a Nightmare, those other Dreamers would never be able to see their family or friends again without wanting and trying to kill them, and the Dreamers wouldn't be able to stop themselves or control the Nightmare... They'd be trying to fight a battle they have no hope of winning..."

Feeling another wave of cold wash over him, paired with a knot in his stomach, Dreameater grimaces, and quickly tries to distract himself from these thoughts... by snapping at Ethan. "It is true! Why else would I be getting sick from eating people?!" the Nightmare spits, lifting his head up and scowling at the wolf boy, "First I thought I was allergic, but I'm getting sick from just /thinking/ about it, you don't freaking get sick from thinking about eating what you're allergic to! Do you need me to go get Nevaeh so she can look in my eyes again? Or do you want to see him reflected in my sword?!"

The nurse shook her head as she gathered her files and stood up. "I will be set for the time being, and I will inform you of the results once the tests are complete." She walked to the door and opened it for them to exit first. Eira got up and followed, looking back at Catch with a faint smile. "Whatever it is, I know we're gonna be okay," she murmured positively.

When the pulse hit the black hole a green energy ripple from the edge and was heading towards the middle, the Black hole was caving in on itself, following the energy and when the energy reached the middle a loud crackling sound came from it, time it self stop for a second but after that second a force Exploded from it.

Void Bared his teeth, rage Boiled up in him, for he had been played.

A wave of glowing green energy rushing though the area, for a Split moment Malice could see the shape of Voids shades, force from their hiding only to be Disintegrated by his spell.

-

"AHHHHH!" Void Stumble back covering his face, the Chain reaction to what Malice spell did had effected his eyes, the brake down of his frames eyes Increased rapidly Melting them right then.

// Void?! What's happening?!// Scarlet frantic asked.

The green energy hit the Building they were in, but unlike the black hole that was Destroying everything, this energy didn't seem to do any harm, at least to normal eyes and None magic things however it was effecting thing of magic...

Scarlet also let out a scream, her form sparked Reacting to what Malice did, she wasn't able to hold her form and turned to blood, she was sliding off of Void was he was Stumbling about, making him look even more of a mess.

-

Malice smirked seen the shades get reduced to Adam's " that should keep you Occupied, at least for a moment " the Nightmare king then turned to walk down one of the Tunnels but when he stepped his wings became as ash and Crumbled, with that his main Support in keeping him standing.
Malice back legs gave in and he Collapsed

As Fiona and Terra kept talking, Sparky noticed the pencil trying to make its bold escape, and feeling rather happy with the conversation going on around him, he decided to have a little fun. He jumps over, gets up on his toes, and dances around the pencil before dramatically pouncing on it, then he lifts it up, floats upside down while holding the pencil above himself, and attempts to float over to Fiona's notebook this way.

"Th-that's pretty cool," Terra remarks on Fiona's family's buisness with a smile, "Y-you must be really proud of it then, huh...?"

Dreamcatcher nodded and got up to follow, he smiled at Eira and took her hand " together we will be " he replied hopeful.

" Thank you again ma'am " The prince said to the Nurse, he then led Eira down the hallway, his mind still on many things

( my reply for Arthur is long x'D )

(That's quite alright, Shadow XD )

Fiona beamed and nodded rather enthusiastically, "My armor and Shockwave are two of the most important things I carry around! I hold both in honor of the ones who made them." The Elemental paused and gestured to her armor, avoiding directly using her claws, "I modeled my armor off of what Fire Elemental warriors use--I heard lots of stories about them back home. I showed the sketch to my friend, and he gave me A LOT of great tips. Like, how to trim it down, so I could move in it better! He even helped me make it at his super cool forge!
...So uh... Yeah, I'm really proud of it." She gave a bit of a sheepish grin after her moment of gushing.
