*Noodle arms* Eeeeeeeeeeeeee~

Helloooooooooooo!

Ahhh, this cover looks really cool!

Hi Fluffy!~ :D

How're ya doing, Lilly? :>

I'M SO EXCITED TO RP!!~

How're you? :D

I'm doing alright! I'm excited to RP too! X3

I need to get reposts so I can remind myself of everything and remember the order too 'XD

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...?"

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.

(I know Shadow was wanting to redo some of her posts, so I'll let her post her posts when she's able to)

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.

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.

"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?!"

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?"

(And then it's to Shadow for Arthur, Jasmine, Catch, and then the whole thing with Malice. After that, it's Galaxy's turn for Crystal, and it'll go back to being back and forth between Eira and Catch, and Boreas and Jasmine~)

(*Double thumbs up*)

(HELLO!)

(I'm off work!
It also looks like color thing is fixed with the cell phones to! I can type without it backing me out! )

(I can post my stuff ^-^)

The king didn't reply right away to Crystal, instead he waited for Dreameater to say more, Arthur spoke with a holding a Sober tone [[.. that was his plan wasn't it?... the reason to Malice, Soledormir always thought of himself as Poetic... he didn't just hate Dreamers and these, he has nothing but malice Towards them.... Eater said there was other souls, if that is the case then Soledormir never really Corrupted the Dreamers, they been alive these whole time and Nightmares have been wolf in sheep clothes and now hundreds if not thousands of Dreams could ether be lost or wost, trap in Nightmares only doing moons know what...]] the king tone filled with Discussed as he continues [[ He had been setting this whole thing for 20'000 years but why Wait until now?....was it to have more time for people to be Unaware?.... hmmm, I don't think that it, people were Defending themselves and hunting Nightmares ever since they came into existence...
and the people who defend themselves from these Nightmares wouldn't know that a victim is trapped, meaning Soledormir will get his Innocent blood ether way...]]

-

The wolf boy yelped when the Nightmare snapped at him, Ethan jumped up from his seat and back himself as much to the wall as he could " N-no! I-I d-on't thi-nk it work-s t-that way! " Ethan was Terrified, he didn't want the Nightmare to pull out his sword, his mind went to who he might kill with it " N-O! I can see to! " he Blurt it out and then immediately covered his mouth

-

Jasmine just stood there with a look of disbelief what was being said was crazy, to her everyone knew Nightmare were evil Dreamers but now? Were they really something worse? Something for more evil was plan here, hiding behind of lies that were the Nightmare species "b-ut, but?" She opened her mouth but words were not forming

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

As they were walking he Decided to speak what was pressing on in mind "... I hope they be able to find more out..
they seem to be Surprised by you "

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...

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 indeed 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.

-

Back at the Infirmary Crimson was jotled awake with a loud gaps, pain Course through him like Thousands of Needles poking him all through out his body.

Panic rises in the room, something clearly was happening with the boy,
The Nurses Scrambled to try figure out what, some try to calm Crimson as others were busy with the Equipment.

" his levels are all over the place! " One called out. " it like he been drained and filled at the same time! " another one said thier observation " were it coming from? Doesn't this room have a seal on it?!"

Crimson body was tents, he try to move but the Constraint held him in place, he Set through Clinched teeth " It's Scarlet, something Happening to Scarlet"

The Nurses look to each other, they didn't know what to do then, his bond with Scarlet, they had little knowledge about curse weapon of Soledormir, was she trying to get Crimson to do or turn into something? Or was something Happening to her and the backlash was effecting him? They didn't know.

Malice smirked seen the shades get reduced to atoms " 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 gave out,
with that being his main Support in keeping him standing, Malice back legs gave in and he Collapsed

( that all for now ^-^)

(MANY MUCH POSTS!

Hey Shadow! How're you?)

(HI Fluffy!!

I'm doing pretty good :)
How are you doing?)

(YAS! HALLO SHADOW!! :DD

It's good to hear you're doing good~ X3 )

(That's good! I'm also glad Colors fixed whatever was going on with phones, too. -w-

I'm doing pretty good too!)

(I'm glad to, it was making reply and message a real pain :/

that good your doing good to Fluffy!

Hi LILLY!! X3)

Terra just smiles as Fiona gushes about her armor, and nods his head. "It sounds like he knows quite a bit about armor as well," he comments, "Was--was he an Elemental, too?"

"Yeah!--Well, no." Fiona started, "He knew a lot about... A lot! But he wasn't an Elemental..." She paused, her expression making it pretty obvious that she was trying to remember things, "He was mostly elvin--wood elf and high elf, but his family was a mix of a lot of different species..." Once again, she stopped, her expression full of even deeper thought this time. "...He even knew about the Vasetem language... Maybe it was passed down...?" She muttered.

(Ooooooooh fancy cover~~~)

(Henlo!)

( Hello!)

(OOooOoOOOO fancy novel~~~~)

(Hullo Fade!

How ya doin'?)

( ill copy Fluffy! How are you doing?)

Eira smiled back at Catch, then walked with him out the door, murmuring a grateful thanks and dipping her head.

"Anytime," the nurse replied to the Dreamer, dipping her head and giving a smile, possibly the first time she had smield in their presence.

The door closed behind them, and Eira walked with Catch in silence for a moment, mind running with all the new information they received. She blinked at her husband and chickled faintly in response to his comment. "Surprised me, too... I didn't know the cases were worse than this. I'm sorry for those who were lost... I hope that somehow I'll be able to save future victims, figure out why I survived and help them through it. Like Purity," she murmured, thoughts quietly humming in her head.

(Hiya there everyone! I'm doign alright! Doing homeworrrrrrrk but making progress!

How are yall doing? x3)

At this, Terra's smile fades a little, replaced by a more curious look as he raises an eyebrow. "... He even knew a-about the Vaseterm language...?" the ghostly Dreamer quietly repeats, "If that's the case, w-would he have been part Vaseterm? Or someone in his family was? ... B-but I've never heard of Vaseterm, or anything to do with them, in the Land of Dreams..."

"It could've been a closely guarded family secret," Sparky chimes in, plopping Fiona's pencil down on her book.

Terra nods his head at his partner's suggestion, and adds onto that with, "It could've even been like Catch, h-he himself was part Vaseterm, but had no idea..." he pauses a moment before asking, "Do you... Do you mind if I ask more about him? Wh-what was his name, anyway...?"

( that good your alright and making Progress on schoolwork is a good thing! :D

I'm doing pretty good to! It a Sweater day and that makes me happy x3)

(Hi Fade! :D

I'm just excited and happy to be RPing again after the break from last weekend~ XD )

(Thank you! X3
Yay, sweater days are nice! It'm so glad to hear your weather is finally cooling down a bit, to the point of comfort. :D

I'm gonna miss the warm weather, but I also like to dress cozy and wear sweaters x3)

(Glad you're doing well and making progress with that homework, Fade!

Sweater weather is good--much better than 100+ degrees. 'XD

I'm doing alright, too! My grandparents just brought me some pumpkin pie fudge to share with my dad.)

(Thanks Fluffer! x)

100 degrees is not pleasant at all xP

Oooh yummy! Surprisingly, I have never had pumpkin pie before... I guess the season to try it is coming up, at least)

(I'm glad the homework's going good to, Fade~ X3

Pumpkin pie anything sounds really good right about now X'D )

Catch Wondered how many Were really out there like Eira? He didn't know about the Abyss until Recently but it was now obvious that this Monster had been around for a while " I am to " he did have some hope, his wife was alive and with what they found out it could bring new Possibilities for others " I'm sure the Doctors here will do their best to figure it out but in the meantime we can do are part... but im not sure what exactly we been doing different then other people?" He made a thinking face, but over all he was revealed that Eira had been different even though the test showed she didn't seem to be // but she is different, she always has been// he turned his head toward Eira and gave her a sweet smile

(I wonder how Galaxy's doing today, too?)

( Pumpkin pie my favorite ~ mmmm im so looking forward to fall! X3)

( I was wondering that to)

Hearing all the ruckus the secretary opened the door to her boss office, there she stood Horrified of what she seen... dark monsters were claws out of the Shadows, they look horrifying with black goo dripping from them as they made Terrible shrieking sounds, and then her eyes found her boss, he was Stumbling around covered in blood.

" D-erek?!" She Shrieked her bosses name, not knowing what he really was.

Void wasn't in a good mood at all, he fell into Malice's trap and now his cover in this world was on the Verge of getting blown, but he could still use this or her " Cheryl?! help me! " he cry out still covering his face, and just like that Void was playing the part of a victim and a Convincing one, he knew about his shades in the room and what happened to Scarlet, it wasn't ideal, but he could work with this, he had to.

Cheryl was Terrified but she couldn't just leave her boss, he was Stumbling toward her so she Mustered up her courage and rush into the room, grabbed his by his upper arm and pulled him back to the doorway, she Led him to the elevator and Frantically pushed the button to go down, as the door was closing the monster were heading there way.

She pulled her boss and herself to the back but much to her Relief the door closes just in time. Cheryl was Trembling this was something Straight from the horror movie and she didn't know why she was in it, she had heard on the new about monsters attack over the last few days, Rumors were going that a part of the city was Destroyed but the Buildings were still up, but hundreds of people had gone missing, no one really knew what was going on in the world anymore, even she had just Chalked it up as propaganda but now? She believed there are monsters now.

Fiona nodded at Terra and Sparky's speculations about her friend, letting out a 'hmmm...' as she did so.
Then there was the briefest moment of hesitation from her when Terra asked to know his name, but she continued anyways, "...Uh, no, I don't mind at all! His name was Lockey."

“Omen left you a message to go there?” Crystal tried to think back on everything she knew about him, but it wasn’t much. She didn’t entirely know how to feel about Omen so far, but she knew he wasn’t a completely bad guy, and she did feel guilty that they had yet to help him..

The girl just shook her head as Eater went on.. She couldn’t wrap her mind around what it would feel like to be stuck in your body but not have any control over it, only able to sit back and watch helplessly.. This made her feel bad for Weaver, worse than when she thought he was gone and consumed by corruption.

Her train of thoughts stopped when Arthur started speaking to her again. She listened in silence, then lowered her head into her hands with a soft sigh. “How do we fix this..?” She whispered, and deep down she didn’t just mean the subject they were currently talking about, but rather everything she knew needed to be fixed and solved. Once again, it seemed like so many impossible tasks, just continuously building on top of each other before they could make any progress.

“You’re right,” she said to the King, “why this now, all of a sudden?” She paused, brushing her hands through her hair before going on, “I can’t think of what the purpose for this would be, unless it’s simply to just cause more problems and harm.” But Crystal knew better, she knew none of it would be meaningless coincidence.

She quickly looked over when she heard more voices again. “Hey-” Crystal said as Eater took to fussing at Ethan, “There’s no need to lash out at him-“ she stopped when the scared boy looked to have said something he shouldn’t have, though she didn’t understand what the problem was exactly.

( HI GALAXY!
how are you doing? :3)

(Hey Galaxy! Great to see you!

...I second Shadow. XD)

(Heya!

I'm doing okay, how about you guys? ^^)

She cling to her boss arm doing her best to hold back Tears, it didn't seem real to her,
The Sound of Muffled screams from belong the Elevator walls " the world gone mad! " she said with a Trembling voice.

Void himself was Trembling, it was particularly part of his act but his frame was also braking down and he wouldn't have much time before he be forced to leave it, however him leaving his frame now would not be a good thing, he would be vulnerable just like everything else of magic " Cheryl I n-eed to get to the hospital... don't stop for no one.... we need to get out of hear..." he said with a weak voice, Void didn't need a human hospital but it would be out of the range of Malice's trap and under the circumstances that was the best option in getting the woman to do what he wanted as fast as possible.

this was her boss private Elevator so when she pushed the lock button it would not stop at other floors besides the one she wanted, but that didn't stop the panic people from bagging on the doors on each floor, To Cheryl the ride down was the longest she ever experienced, she felt sick not knowing what was going to happen to her coworkers but her boss told her again don't stop for anyone, if they did, they both die, and she didn't want to die.

( that good that you doing okay at least :)

im doing good! I'm just happy to have a cool and quiet day to RP ^-^

It had been rough the past week and a few days ago, my grandmother fell and broke her arm, then this week my dad also had to go to the hospital do to his heart acting up but both are doing better. :) )

(Glad you're doing okay, Galaxy! Hope things keep looking up. :>

I'm doing alright too! Just been a pretty chilled out day, overall.

I'm glad both of them are doing better now too, Shadow!)

(...I told myself to /log out of the memes,/ AND I DIDN'T DO IT.)

(I'm glad to hear you're both doing good and that's it's been a good day for y'all :)

But oh man, Shadow, that's scary stuff. Happy to know they are both alright though!)

Malice had passed out from Exhaustion, his Weighing injuries were contributed to this, but /if/ his plan was a success, then the Nightmare king could afford a little nap.

( haha xD I know that feeling Fluffy
I'm glad to :) hopefully things will keep looking up for all of us! )

(I'm back too! Hi Galaxy! :D )

(Hey there, Lilly :))

By time the Elevator had reached its destination Cheryl was in Tears, shee keep her head out to see if any monster were out there to the parking garage was divided between two parts, one side had the Public parking and lower staff but the side she was on was for special people, her boss remained her again that they needed to get out of there, Cheryl pulled Void out into parking garage, people were running to their cars, some in their panic ran into things and some even crashed, it was far more Kotic on the other side were more people were at.

Cheryl did her best to avoid any danger, even pushing her boss out of the way of a Speeding car, she finally made it to her vehicle , she was Making whimpering sounds through her sobs as she fumbled with getting her keys out, she push the button and unlock her car, she Help her boss into the back seat, she didn't know what was wrong with him, he keep a hand over his eyes but even with that, she could make out a mixture of blood and black stuff running down his face... Cheryl only thought about two things right now, getting out and getting her boss to the hospital.

( Welcome back Lilly!)

Dreameater only looks more frustrated as Ethan practically panics, and he curls his lips slightly, resisting the urge to get up himself and approach the poor wolf boy, knowing that with how much fear he's putting off, and with his own foul mood, it could possibly lead to something rather messy... But, with Crystal trying to reason with him, the Nightmare breathes out a sigh and calms down some. "I know, I know... I just feel like I'm being dragged around all over the place," Eater mumbles, not bringing up anything about her seemingly talking to herself--there's so much to think about in his head--but at the very least, as he /is/ thinking over it, he does remember: //Oh, that's right, we talked about her talking to voices in her head before, isn't it that she's got her Key in her head? Yeah, that's right, I forgot about that...//

The young Nightmare leans forward again and rubs his forehead with one hand, until he picks up on something he was just about to miss. "... Wait, you can see it too?" Eater asks, looking back over to Ethan with a curious, but already much less aggressive look, "So you're like Nevaeh? ... I guess you do kind of look like her, in some ways..." After another pause--and more thinking--Dreameater sighs again and adds, "Look, I know this is going to sound pretty crazy, but please try to calm down... Nightmares feed on fear you know, so you freaking out over there isn't doing you any favors, I understand why you're scared, I'm a freaking /Nightmare/ after all, but could you at least try to calm down too? At least tone it down some? I don't want anyone here to get hurt or anything..."

(I'm glad to see you're doing ok too, Galaxy! :3

And I'm also really glad to hear everyone's doing better over there, Shadow! I can't remember, have you heard anything about your aunt? With the fires and all?)

(And thank you! :) )

( she and her family are still in the Orange, they been packing stuff just in case if they have to evacuate but they haven't been told to yet, hopefully they don't have to, but it all depends on were the wind blows and if the fire can be put out ':< )

(Yikes, I hope everyone over there will be safe :/ )

Boreas went quiet for a moment, folding his arms and observing what was going on with the group in the kitchen. Seeing Ethan suddenly jump up and back into the wall wasn't a reassuring sight, but the Icy Elemental still held back, and was glad he did as nothing overly alarming happened next...

He glanced to Jasmine, "...Yup, lovely mess, ain't it?
Probably the most insane story I've ever heard... Yet it's also the only one that's ever come close to answers on Nightmares.
I want to follow it and see where it goes."

(I hope everyone can stay safe over there, too! That's an awful situation. :s)

(I hope that situation gets resolved and they stay safe :'( Praying for them!)

//Lockey, huh?// Terradream thinks, going quiet for a moment... Until he thinks on it too hard. //... Am I prying too much? I was just curious, but... She even hesitated a bit before telling me his name... Did something happen to him? Is this something sensitive and personal to her...? ... Now I'm just sitting here, not saying anything... Oh no, I'm being weird...// Pinning his ears back and going a little more transparent, the ghostly Dreamer finally pulls his one ribbon back to himself, where it curls anxiously around his foreleg. "... A-ah..." Terra stutters, "I hope I-I'm not... being rude or anything, b-by asking about your friend... I was j-just curious..."

( I hope so to. Pray for rain, that what CA needs
But with rain coming mudslides-.- )

( did you see my post for Catch Fade?)

Arthur was in deep thought to, it was a very good question [[ Soledormir has always had some kind of trick up his sleeve...but fully known his true Intentions has never been a easy task, he takes his name of Chaos king Quite literally ]]

[[ just take Omen, in my time he was just known as Soledormir insane Assassin, and now I'm finding out he been forced by Soledormir?.... nothing truly is what it seem anymore...it makes me wonder what else did we know to be wrong?...]] he was more thinking out loud

[[ I'm not sure exactly how to fixed this, but don't give up hope, look at it this way, you know they a problem now... no one knew the truth about the Dreamers, and now it makes sense why no cure has ever been found, if the Dreamer souls were trapped somewhere else even if there bodies were free from the Nightmare, their bodies would be without their soul.... you do know that a Dreamer can remove their know soul and put it back in?... I know that sounds to easy, and it probably is but we can start somewhere...]] Arthur then try to light the mood more and added with a playfully tone [[ I say let focus on the now and what we can do, Eater and Weaver seen like they could be a good Guinea pig, whatever we understand here could provide information we could use in helping other Dreamers ]]

Ethan was very much Relieved that Eater calm down after Crystal spoke to him, he nodded his head at the Nightmare and Swalowed, he knew Nightmare feed off fear but he couldn't help it, he was sacred... the wolf boy did try to Control his motioned at least to the best of his abilities, he took slower breath, after a moment he look to Crystal and then to Eater before replying " Y-es... im a Midnight Walker like Nevaeh..." he was Hesitant to reveal his true appearance but he did, at least this time.

-
Wings pop from Ethan back and just like that his Midnight Walker appearance was there for everyone to see. His clothes were more fancy like the other Vaseterm, he now had little horns on top his head and markings on his face like the other males do. His tails were still close together but it was more Obvious he had more then one.

Ethan looked down and rubbed his upper arm were his arm band was " see..." he then took his seat, he was a bit Awkwud forgetting he had wings but he got it right pretty quickly. He now just started at his bowl again going quiet, his mind was spinning with everything but now it clicked about something they were talking about, he snapped his head Towards the other table "which one? Omen or Judas? Omen can't be trusted but Judas can... he weird but he not a bad guy " he now was wondering about what really happened, Ethan started to pick out pieces of cereal and move them on the table, he was thinking...

In the Driver seat Cheryl took off, she wanted nothing more then to get away from this nightmare, on her way out she thought she saw the Security guard by the exit Hunched over, she didn't look twice but his hands almost look like those monsters claws. "Are people turning into those monsters?!"

Void was Hunched over, like he was in pain and to keep himself from sliding around in the back seat " I d-on't know... monsters just appear out of nowhere and attack"

She now was freaking out that maybe her boss was going to turn into one to " just h-anging on Derek, I'm going to g-et you help!" She Choked through her sobs.

It was still raining outside which didn't help the whole situation at all, it Only added to the horror film feeling, people were running packed the streets, cars were crashing and people Screaming, one would think it was a war zone.

Eira shrugged cluelessly as she heard Catch's query. "I wish I knew... We have what the nurse suggested, but that's all we can run on." She looked at Catch and smiled back at him, studying his face a moment before dropping her gaze to the hallway ahead again. She considered the past few years of struggling with the corruption, fighting against it and running in fear, then released a slow sigh. "Honestly, though.... As... hard, and painful all this has been.... I don't wish I could undo it, because now I have the chance to help others who are going through it. Purity, the other victims.... Because of my experience, my luck in surviving it, I can help them fight on and live. So, in the end... It's worth it."

(Weather stuff sucks in CA, huh? 'x)

I did! Sorry, I got pulled away for a bit and it took me a while to write my response)

Jasmine look to be having a Mental meltdown, her Mouth hung open as her I twit. I Squeak finally escaped her lips and that all it took for her to pop" WHAT?! YOU MEAN NIGHTMARE ARNT REALLY, REAL DREAMERS?" she took her hand to her forehead, it felt like it was going to Explode " So, Erhhh! Like it, like body Snatchers or something? Is this really, real? "

( it really does, it been about a week since I seen the clear sky, ever day it been a nasty haze, the morning and just before going to bed Routine is cleaning out nose of black snot. I rather have days of fog or rain that makes it haze then smoke.
It Quite alright! Don't worry about it x3 Homework Important )

(Aww, that's not fun at all xP I really hope it cools down and clears up soon, it's dangerous and not pleasant x(
Thank you Shadow x)

With what Eira said gave Catch a lot to Reflect on as well, it killed him inside when she Suddenly vanished just like everyone else, he didn't regret searching for her, he would have done that for any of his friends or family, but he could only imagine what it had to be like for her, to live those years alone and in fear but now to see her Except that but not to Dwell on the past but to use it for helping others? Catch look to his wife, reading her Expressions but also her feelings, he realized just how much she had Grown and matur'd, he was proud of her.

Catch moved his hand and put it around Eira Waste, in a kind of side hug as they walked " you really are something " he smiled " I know it was hard on you but I'm am glad that you can use what happened to help others in need... the best part, you don't have to do things alone any more, I will be here to help you in any way possible and so will the others " he said Tenderly and then kiss on the side of forehead

( hopefully soon xp
I miss clear skys but in the meantime just got to do the best we can :))

Fiona also went quiet for a moment, thinking about a few things... But she quickly noticed when Terra pulled his ribbon back. She looked up to him as he started stuttering, "What? No! You're not being rude--you're fine!
I /should/ talk about stuff like this... About Lockey.
...Because... Well... I don't even know what happened to him. One day he was just... Gone."

Terradream eases up and becomes more visible after Fiona reassures him, but his expression does become more somber. //... It was something a bit more personal after all... I'm glad I wasn't intruding too much...// he concludes, then quietly asks, "He disappeared? Th-there wasn't any trace of him at all?"

“I’m sure you do.. Anyone would feel like that in your situation,” Crystal replies to the Nightmare. She turned in her seat to better see both Eater and Ethan as the conversation continued, to observe and make sure nothing got out of hand, but she was mostly listening to Arthur.

“Insane assassin sounds.. pretty bad,” the girl said, “I can’t imagine what that would be like, and I’m not sure if I want to..” Crystal then nodded when the King told her to stay hopeful. She was about to reply, but one of her eyebrows raised upward slightly when her Key mentioned what a Dreamer could do with their soul and she piped in with, “I.. had no idea they could do that.” She went quiet again, glancing at Dreameater when Arthur said he and his situation could make for a good test subject. To her it didn’t seem right to use them that way, but she also knew that there was no other way they would be able to figure anything out if they didn’t make the most of what they had to work with. “You make a good point,” was all she said.

Crystal watched when Ethen’s appearance changed, and at first she looked a little surprised, but her expression quickly relaxed and turned into a kind smile, “That’s really neat,” she said, noticing how uncomfortable the boy seemed to be.

She soon tilted her head and shrugged when Ethan suddenly backtracked and questioned them, “I didn’t really know there was a different until a couple days ago..” she said, watching him as he started messing with his cereal again.

Fiona shook her head, "No. He just left one day. For a while, he'd send notes, but... They suddenly stopped, and I never saw him again.
...That wasn't like him. He wouldn't just /stop./
I didn't know that he knew about the Vaseterm language, though... I bet that was it--Soledormir already tried to wipe them out and everything about them!"

Dreameater watches and raises an eyebrow as Ethan finally reveals his true appearance. "Oh, yeah, now there's a lot more similarities between you and Nevaeh," he casually remarks, going quiet until the Midnight Walker asks his own question. With another frustrated sigh, he glances briefly at Crystal when she speaks up, and then he admits, "I don't know... I'm going to guess Judas? But I don't know hardly anything about him, so that's just me guessing..."

The Nightmare then stares rather thoughtfully at Ethan, backtracking a little bit in his thoughts and thinking over a lot of things, Omen leaving the message for him, Void's palace, the crystal heart, and what Nevaeh found... "... Hey, you said you can see into my eyes and see the same things Nevaeh saw, right?" he asks. "She said she saw Weaver's star, she saw his soul, but she's also kind of crazy... Would you be able to see what's going on in me better? Could you see more of what's going on, what's really happening?"

Terradream looks down at his notebook as Fiona explains, and starts writing more in a new section, this time on Lockey. Of course, his mind is going over the worst-case scenarios... //I bet he's dead... Something blew his cover and he was found out, then Soledormir sent his minions to kill him...//

Sparky, knowing his partner too well, glances at Terra before looking up at Fiona, suggesting, "... Maybe he had to go hide somewhere and couldn't send anymore letters because it'd be too dangerous for him? That sounds kind of like how Eira up and vanished for four years, but she showed up again. Sure something attacked her and she's corrupted now, but she's still here..."

Terra stops writing for a moment, looking down at his Fairfin. //... I guess that could be it, too...// he thinks, then looks back to Fiona. "Can--can you tell me a bit more about Lockey? What did he look like? Did he ever s-say or do anything odd or s-suspicious? O-or just... anything that made you think?"

Boreas again gave Jasmine a minute to process. Her reaction especially got him thinking about how crazy everything was.
//I'm too deep in the crazy to go back now.
Ah well, runs in the family.//

"Yup, it's real. I can't deny what I've seen.
...Body snatchers sounds very accurate." The icy Elemental nodded, then glanced back to the kitchen, taking note of things in there.

When Catch put his arm around her waist, she leaned into hi mand rested her head on his shoulder. She tipped her face to smile up at him, cheeks growing rosy at his kind compliments. "Thank you Catch... It's been a long, difficult journey, but now is no longer the time to dwell on the past. You're here now, and we're fighting darkness once and for all, and we have friends and love ones. There's so much more to hope in, and knowing you're with me makes the path much clearer," she murmured with a warm smile. "I know that love will get us through it."

[[ I'm not saying to do any made Science stuff, just the more we know the better, I can't imagine what this Weaver guy had to go through... let alone all Dreamers....]] his thoughts then went to the Dreamer he knew, like his Nephew and so many others, some of them their Nightmares still Rome but he Wondered could the Dreamer be still alive? After so long of watching the Nightmare do what they please with thier bodies and they couldn't do anything [[How long could a Dreamer last this way? ]] he thinks outloud, his Concern carried in his tone, no Dreamer had that long of a life span, so he didn't know.

Arthur Cleared his throat and wanted to get back on track and that was informing his keeper [[Dreamer are a bit different then humans, a lot different actually, unlike us, a Dreamer can remove what they call their Heart reflection, it a glowing ball of light, just don't toss it like a ball ]] he Teased [[ this light you can say is who they actually are, it their soul... now why a Dreamer can do this, I haven't the Slightest clue, other than kids trying to Impress their love interests by taking their heart out and holding it, it put a whole new meaning on 'ill give you my heart ' but A Dreamer can't last to long outside their bodies, so they don't tend to do it much]]

[[ you and me both]] Arthur added his thoughts on Crystal reply about Omen.

-

Ethan attended got pulled away with Eater questions, he just started and blinked for a moment, he looked to Crystal and then back to Eater" uh...I-I guess so...." he slowly got up, he took one set closer, then other, it was pretty Obvious he didn't want to get close to the Nightmare but he had to for this " i-it shouldn't hurt " he Timidly raised his hands to put put them on the side of Eater face, he wasn't going to start until he knew forsure Eater wasn't going to eat him...

Fiona looked from Terra to Sparky, wondering if that could've been what happened... But her thoughts were diverted very quickly by his last statement, //Wait, Eira disappeared for four years?!? And /then/ she came back corrupted!?!// The Elemental quickly picked up her notebook and flipped to a new page, writing this new info down...

She definitely wasn't going to forget that, but her attention was pulled to Terra as he asked her more about Lockey. "Well... He was an exchange student at the Shadow Hunter school--that's where we met.
He told me about the missing students, so I joined the Detective class with him. We were gonna figure out who was doing all that awful stuff..."
The Elemental then picked up her old diary and started flipping through it, "Hang on, I've got pictures in here..."

Catch couldn't agree more, the past was Important to learn from but not to dwell on, what matters was the now and what they could do in the Present " it what we can hope for " he replied softly. " you really have become a shadow hunter in your own way"
He wanted to stay like this a little longer but with everything that happened earlier, those things also pop up in his mind, he told Eater now he Wondered if it was really Weaver who ask him to give a message to Crimson, who Catch really didn't know much about and then there was Eater/ Weaver who last he knew ran off after finding out Weaver was actually alive, he knew Boreas could handle Eater but Weaver was his friend, and he wanted to see him again " Eira.... what do you think we should do next? I told Eater I checked up on Crimson for him but with Weaver still alive, I want to make sure he alright to... what you're thoughts?"

( i love the cheese x3)

(Cheese is good x3)

(CHeeeeeeeese!! X3)

Eira's eyes lit up when Catch called her a Shadow Hunter, her heart bubbling with warmth, eyes almost tearing up. "Thank you... You really are so amazing," she said quietly, smiling caringly at her husband. She rested her head on his shoulder again until he spoke up. She frowned as she thought about it, remembering all that had happened with Eater and Weaver, and the shocking fact that Weaver was still alive. It would be a heavy weight to interact with the Nightmare, knowing who was robbe dog his body and now trapped inside a Nightmare's control, but she wanted to be there for him and do everything she could to let the Dreamer know he would be set free soon. "Yeah... I think that'd be good for him, and us. We should go see him," the agreed, giving a determined nod.

(Alrighty, I gotta head to bed! I'll see you all next time! X3)

(Goodnight Fade! It's been fun! ^v^)

( good night Fade! You sleep well and see you next time! :D)

(Cheeese!~ X3

Good night Fade! It's been fun having you around! Good night, and see ya next time! :D )

Terra stays quiet as he listens, watching as Fiona also suddenly writes something down, but he doesn't ask about it. //... Why do I get the feeling, looking back on it now... That there was so much more at play with the missing students than just them going missing? What horrible things happened to all of them...?// But, for now he doesn't say anything more while Fiona looks for her pictures.

Demise and Rage were at a little restaurant, the very same one that Danny and Eater had their chat.

Both the forsaken lords were in their Disguises, Ophelia look about normal, greatly grumpy and tapping her finger on the table top. Danny to look about normal for him, in his Casual Hawaii and clothes, the tall man had a cup of sweet tea and was drinking it.

" Danieru, can you stop it?!" She snapped.
Danny stopped and lower his cup, he tipped his head slightly, he was just drinking tea, he then looked at his cup and offered it to her " you want to try it? This stuff sweet "

" No, I don't want to try it Danieru!" She curled her lip at him " I want you to stop! We have more Important things to do! "

Danny look at his cup and then set it down, he then shrugged and Put his arms behind his head and closed his eyes
" Danieru! Are you even listening?! This isn't the time for a nap!" She Shouted

Danny opened one eye and blinded a few times before speaking " didn't Void say to wait? That what I'm doing, im waiting with my eyes closed " he replied simply.

Ophelia let out a frustrated grunt, he had her there, she went back to taping her finger on the table, she didn't get it, here the key hunters were somewhere in this world, a world that in her mind was worthy, and yet Void was being Void, Mysterious and on a need to know basis, but something felt off about this world, she knew it didn't have magic but she couldn't quite place it but there was something more...something she was wondering Void was trying to keep Secret // he knew about this world.... he knew the Silver spear were here and yet never called for an attack....// she Narrowed her eyes as she Pondered what Schemes Void could be upto.

Last night she since a presence, one that was familiar but different at the same time but Void had given her order to Investigate a different subject, one she now had the feeling was a wilded Goose Chase because by time she back track to were she thought the presence was, he or something had clean up

Ophelia let out a frustrated sigh and look out the closest window, the rain had been coming down Non stop, but she didn't mind that, it was actually soothing, she still felt like she was wasting time, she should be out doing something for Soledormir, but here she was, in a little Pathetic human world with a Giant sipping tea // I rather be back at Cielo, at least there I could over look things...I was doing something! // she shot a glare over at Danny, she never could understand how someone could be so lazy and yet powerful

Across the room were to Officers on break, just have a bit to eat, one was a man in his Late 20th, he had Clean cut dirty blonde hair and Hazel eyes as his partner was a woman in her middle 20th, she had black hair that came to her shoulder and had very yellow brown eyes.

The woman glace over to the table with the super size man and grumpy blonde woman, something seem off about them // hmmm... I don't since any magic but they could be hidden like me.... //

" that a loud Couple, well woman" the man commitment

" oh? Yeah..." She replied and turned her attention back to him " she Seems to be quiet down, I Wonder what it could have all been about? "

The man shrugged " Beats me" he then took a bite out of his Sandwich

" hey, Josh do you believe those stories going around?... " she asked Casually but with some hits of Timidness.

Josh tipped his head, he guessed what she was talking about, you couldn't turn on the TV or go online without seeing something talking about monsters or magic people, and he couldn't Deny so many people going missing "... maybe, but I don't want to believe that...."

She looked down at her plate and poke at her food, magic character had been in hiding for hundreds of years, sure a few Sightings here and there happened but most were believe to be spook stories but now? Something changed //... not even the Vaseterm have been able to control this...// she feared for the unknown, what would happen if this world uncover the truth and what scared her more, why would anyone do this? Her gut told her something dark was at play here.

Just then a small Earthquake Lightly shook the Restaurant.
Ophelia Amediately glared at Danny who had sat up, he blink at her Confused " it wasn't me" he simply said.

The Officers radios went off with an Emergency call " other Explosion?" Josh questioned thinking outloud.
His partner wasn't sure about that, or at least no man made explosion " come on let go!" At that they both got up and rush out of the Restaurant.

Ophelia had over heard the Radio call, and she could since it too, something with a Dangerous presents " Malice...." she Growled

Danny look across the room, huh? I don't see the punk anywhere "

Ophelia let out a frustrated sigh " just shut up and follow me" she then got up and headed towards the door, Danny Sat there for a moment with a look of the bewilderedness on his face, but it wasn't long before he got up and followed.

Fiona stopped at a page marked by a purple and gold striped ribbon, then she lifted it up so Terra could see.

In the center of the page was a drawing of a younger, shorter Fiona standing back-to-back and striking a particular pose with a tall, dark-haired, freckled man--presumably Lockey--who looked to be in his middle to late twenties. He wore a hat, glasses, and a purple handkerchief. Both of them were in their student uniforms.

...Additionally, it was drawn in a very different style--obviously not Fiona's. That main picture was also surrounded by smaller sketches, some of which /were/ in her scratchy style, and others were in that much more polished style... But chibi-fied. A handful of them were strange things--such as a crudely drawn, fire-breathing Ophelia face labeled 'Smelly and Mean.'

...Another was some kind of shark-looking creature with swords for arms.

The rest consisted of little doodles of Fiona and Lockey. Though, a few of them also featured a third person. A more Elemental-ish girl with pastel pink hair and a tail.

"...We drew these while we were at school. Lockey did that big one in the middle." Fiona explained.

Crystal set her hands on her lap, but it wasn’t long until she started mindlessly picking at the fabric of her pants, staying rather quiet until Arthur started to explain more about a Dreamer and their soul. “Oh,” she mumbled thoughtfully, “That’s.. Definitely interesting. Is there any useful purposes for taking it out?”

Crystal watched as Ethan approached Eater, going silent to let the boy do whatever it was he was about to do, but observing curiously nonetheless.

Eater turns in his chair as Ethan comes over, only paying the slightest attention to Crystal's mutterings at the moment. Obviously, he can still tell that Ethan is very tense being so close to him, so the Nightmare tries to relax his posture more, if that'd help him at all. "I know, Nevaeh's done this to me twice already," Dreameater casually remarks, "I'm not gonna bite you or anything, so don't even worry about that. Just tell me what you see, and then you can go back."

Void keep his eyes closed, they were gone anyway bye this point but he didn't want to Distract his drive any more then she already was, his vision though his shades was Blur, any too close to Malice trap had been killed and those Further were still being affected, breaking their illusion and shadows magic but his dark characters were not the only ones to be effective bye this spell....but as Void led there in the car his mind was going back over what led to this and Realized just how though out the Nightmare king plan was with such short time at that, Malice had always been learning but he was nothing more then a Computer program he could never really go outside Certain behaviors but this? It wasn't like Malice at all.

The Destruction in causing chaos yes, was definitely something of Malice but as Void was gaining more Evidence though his shades it was becoming clearer Malice had set everything up to effect his shades the most but other magical characters were ether not in the hot zone or was farther on the edge to which the wave shouldn't kill them, and humans? The attack didn't seem to effect None magic user at all, that when Void started to Laugh
