Hi Shadow and Lilly and Fluffy and Galaxy! I'm glad to hear some of you are feeling better! Get plenty of rest everyone!

Reposts would be helpful, Lilly! Thank you!

Brain bleach is helpful, let's use it to bleach Sol's brain so he's less evil

Alrighty, I'll get started on reposts right now!

"/The city's been attacked again?!/" Fiona didn't really know why she was surprised... She knew they never really got many breaks--or many /long/ ones, that is. "Well--we should go stop those monsters! Right?!" She blurted out at first, but then paused.
...The Elemental wanted to go with that mentality, but now she knew they needed to think more than just that before rushing into things... She also thought, from the sound of his tone, Osiris had more to say.
"...Well... I mean... First of all...
Who's getting attacked...? What's doing the attacking...?! And /why.../" She mumbled, following Osiris' gaze to Sparky.
...She didn't really know why he was looking at the ghostly Fairfin, but she wondered...

...She was also so focused on this news, she hadn't quite noticed that Terra had unravelled his ribbon from around her hands, yet.

Terra's eyes widen at the news, but he stays quiet, as usual, though he does glance over at Fiona when she blurts out her initial reaction. //... At least this time it feels like we've got more time to plan things out...// he thinks, letting Fiona ask her next questions, and then noticing how everyone's looking at Sparky. //He called Sparky 'master,' didn't he? Now he's staring at him... So there's something about Sparky that relates to all of this? Or is there something else? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself... I don't know...//

Sparky had, after Fiona and Terra both calmed down earlier, flown back over to where he left the tablet, and was sitting right there by it when all three people in the room started staring at him. "... What, you want me to go beat 'em up?" he playfully remarks and crosses his arms, "I can throw cookies at the monsters if you give me ammo."

" I have no doubts Master Sparky that you are Fierce with in battle, however this task may need a different approach" Osiris commented and then headed towards the Little Ghost Fairfin, he kneel down almost like a knight would before a king " may I commandeer your tablet master Sparky, I believe with it I can better explain the situation "

Ai frowned, she didn't know what shadows to start looking in, but she vaguely remembered Judas saying something along the lines of "the shadows are always listening" she whispers to Eater.

"If we speak to the shadows, I know something will happen" Ai's frown deepened as she thought, "Judas said he wants me dead" she brightened up her expression and shrugged, "Everyone want me dead, no one like Omen number 2"

A grin came across her face. "We can do it! We tough, I know it!" she pumped her fists excitedly, "Eater, please help me"

Ethan sat there Anxiously, he wanted to tell both Dreamcatcher and Eira what he seen and he wanted to look over what he recorded, but with the Nightmare in the room, even though he was off to the other side he didn't want to say to much, but he did want the prince to know " I-I think Weaver still alive because of you " he Whispered
Again just hearing that made a world of difference for Catch, that he actually did something good, even though he had thought for the longest time he failed " thank you for telling me this... " he looked over his shoulder at the Nightmare " ... is there anything else I can do to help Weaver?"

Ethan look down, he didn't know that answer " I-I don't know... your seals a-re beyond what I can do... I don't think I can help you with that... but maybe the queen? She knows the way of the old ones...sorry I-I can't help you out much more..."

Dreamcatcher smiled softly at the wolf boy " you help me, everyone who knows Weaver out, so thank you "

Ethan look up at the Dreamer prince with that and then look to were Eater was " s-o now what? "

" im not exactly sure myself but I know Weaver alive now, and I'm going to make sure to do what I can to save him all the way " Dreamcatcher reply with a new found hope

Hiiro had flown until his wings were beyond aching, he finally came to some sort of orchard and landed heavily in a clearing between the trees. A fruity scent washed over him, but it wasn't peaches, so he didn't care.

He snorted, turning in circles as he lashed his tail against the ground and trees. Flames flickered from his nostrils as he flared them, singeing the grass beneath his paws.

He collapsed in a now smokey clearing, rolling onto one side, his ribs heaved with barely contained rage. His mind was numb with an assortment of emotions.

Crimson close his eye to rest, but his mind wasn't, something didn't feel right, his mind keep going back to what could possibly attack Scarlet, whatever didn't set right with him, it remained the red princeof then Hiiro took him outsidethe the barrier but worse " hay... what the heck going on out there?"

One of the Nurses paused, she look to the other before meekly replying " what do you mean?"

" this world... its felt dead but it isn't...so tell me, what kind of magic is it?" Crimson open his eye to look to the Nurse

"True that." Boreas nodded, a smirk of his own on his face. A few other things were coming to his mind now--other than just information gathering.
He hadn't spoken to Eira or Catch after the events in the infirmary... Crystal was there in the kitchen too, it'd been a while since he'd last talked to her. There were even people he had yet to introduce himself to.
Eater seemed occupied and a little less on-edge then, so as long as he kept an eye on the Nightmare, the Captain figured he could take the time to simply check up on the group. He'd worry more about mystery-solving later.
"Mmmm, coffee would be my pick--iced.
If it isn't obvious, hot beverages and I don't get along."

(I believe that was all, it's my turn for Eater now, Fluffy's turn for Fiona in that interation, I didn't see a post for Jasmine. Hmmm, as for the order of the group in the kitchen, we were going Blood -> Shadow -> Me I believe, Fade, would you like to go after Blood maybe?)

(Ah and Galaxy, again, you let us know when you wanna hop back in, alright? :3 )

(Or if there's a good spot to)

(Yee! *double thumbs up*)

(Okay, I will let you know :))

Fiona looked a little surprised at the idea of Sparky going to beat up the bad guys. Her mind was filled with questions and thoughts...
...Some of which were about his safety, of course, and the weaponization of cookies.

But her attention was pulled away from that as Osiris requested to have the tablet... In a very interesting way that she immediately recognized.
Again though, there was a more pressing realization she had to ask about, "...Oh! You can do that with that??"

(Sure, I can follow Blood!)

Dreameater listens to Ai while he stirs the hot chocolate mix together in the different cups of milk, then takes one and heats it up by raising his own body temperature, like he always does. //... Maybe I shouldn't make it as hot as I like it for everyone else...// he realizes, then turns and hands Ai a normal cup of hot chocolate.
"No," he then bluntly answers her with a slight frown, "I can't help you with that, it's too dangerous for me and you to go run off into the shadows. There's a whole lot of nasty monsters out there--there's not just one shadow guy and nothing else--and even somewhere out there right now, there's a monster that can control Nightmares. If we ran into that, or if it found us, it could tell me to kill you, and I wouldn't be able to stop myself, I'd be forced to kill you. And we don't even know where Judas is, even if we did somehow manage to get passed /all/ the shadow monsters, and find whatever guy has Judas' eye, get it from him, and then get out of there safely. On top of all that, sure I'm a Nightmare, I'm pretty strong, but you're a little girl, what're you going to do to the bad guys?" Dreameater shrugs and starts heading back to the table where Crystal, Ethan, Eira, and Catch are, carrying two cups with his hands and the other two with his shackled chains, "There's nothing we can do for Judas right now, Ai."

(*thumbs-up*)

Apart of Ai knew Eater was right, but at the same time, she felt his words burn through her. She glared down into her cup of hot chocolate, she felt no desire to take even a sip, she felt bitter and miserable after what he said.

A little girl was all she was, maybe a super powered weapon like Judas, but she didn't know how to fight or weild weapons properly. And she knew a big part of that was because she'd been in cryosleep until 4 years ago... And that she felt she was the useless half, the healing half, who couldn't ever do anything.

She squeezed her cup in her hands, her eyes turning to her red demon appearance and her markings turned red and glowed softly. She was just upset now.

Eira listened to Ethan and Catch as they spoke, feeling warmth and pride bubble inside upon learning that Weaver was alive because of her husband. //I'm proud of you,// she thought with a warm gaze towards Catch.

The shiftress's train of thought was broken when Eater came by with the hot chocolate and placed it in front of her. She blinked in surprise, and stared at it for a moment, wondering for a second how the Nightmare had mistaken hot chocolate for tea, then wondering if there was a chance it was poisoned, since it's not often a Nightmare serves you a safe beverage. But she shrugged in dismissal and took a sip. It tasted like hot chocolate. Normal, unpoisoned, not tea but still tasty, hot chocolate.

Malice just huffed when Waker cut off her leg and her remark, he turned his head to look out into the dark surrounding...

Under normal circumstances what Dreamwaker did would be unheard but this was not under normal circumstances...

The Nightmare king was in deep thought, looking at all that he knew leading up to this point he had no doubt that Void had his hands in what Omen did " Omen is just a pawn in this game... Void has been using him to gain a greater advantage... " Malice rock his jaw in deep thought, part of what Omen did was Judas trying to help // ugh, your a fool Judas, Void was setting you up to get me killed...// but there still seem like piece of the puzzle was missing as he was thinking this...

Dreamwaker rolled her eyes " you sound like a fawn, maybe your not so bad off if you still have enough energy to complain " she then shook her severed leg more continuing purposely splashing Malice with its blood.

Malice Huffed, as a Pyro Nightmare he didn't like the cold but there wasn't much for the king to do about that, he also knew time wasn't in his favor, his spell wouldn't last forever " ....hmmm what I still haven't figured out is why go though this length to have me killed...I know it been within Soledormir power to have me slain but why wait until now?..." he tapes his paw against the porcelain again // is it because of Faithful heart?... was he waiting for that to be placed inside me? But it that was the case why wait all these years? Why now? What am I missing?// Malice turned his head to the ancient Frost " you said you spoke with.." he made a small grolw as he said " Dreameater... what else did you learn? "

"For one thing, I noticed that he's sick with something," Dreamwaker starts her reply, pulling her stump of a leg out of the bathtub, then taking her chains with her severed leg and positioning herself to reattach her limb. She gets her foreleg in place and freezes the surface of the cut, keeping her chains still wrapped around her leg to keep it in place, then continues, "He told me before that eating one human here made him sick, to the point he threw up, he and warned me not to hunt here, but then when I met him, that freak started doing other things. He was fine up until he started reading the book on him and his former self, then suddenly he started getting cold, and said he felt sick when things about the night he turned got brought up, how he killed his former self's friend." Waker grimaces at that thought and wrinkles her nose in disgust.

(Eira with the hot chocolate makes me happy. XD)

(Me too XD)

( haha xD )

"Not only that... but that freak of a Nightmare is making dangerous allies, I don't have a clue how he managed to do it, but he not only has Captain Boreas of all people on his side, he's got the Blood Sapphire as part of his pack as well! He called that thing his friend!"

Malice nose wrinkled as he thought about what Waker said, that was very strange for a Nightmare " Eater has always been anomalous...from birth he climb the ranks without effort... that was even before Omen gave him some of my power...hmmm" there was something suspicious about all of this, and now Eater was getting sick? "Hmmm..." this was something the Nightmare king was unsure of, a Nightmare getting sick from eating their food? He himself ate people here and had been fine so what was the reason?
When the ancient Frost brought up how Eater was when talking about the night he turned and how he killed one of his former self friends, Malice's look to her, though he never felt cold, he felt uncomfortable about certain topics that used to not bug him //... curious... has Eater somehow gained a heart as well?...// he Frowned thinking more on it // he didn't take some of mine along with my powers? Is that possible? What would Voids plan be in this? //

And then with what Waker tells him last the Nightmare king can hardly believe it " W-hat? He..." this didn't settle well with Malice at all " how did he Allied himself with the devil? That /thing/ is an enemy to all Nightmares " he looked away very troubled by this... at least one good news was that maybe with Boreas he could learn more or even get help... at least Mal was hoping, the captain knew who he was now he didn't try to kill him the last time they met so many there was hope?

Dreamcatcher smiled at the Nightmare, he couldn't help it, now knowing that Weaver was still alive but with what Ethan told him he knew he should be cautious of the Nightmare still // were going to figure this out...//

he took the hot chocolate without hesitating, he just knew Weaver was in their now " thank you " the Dreamer prince was about to take a sip of his hot chocolate when he noticed the grumpy little girl, it wasn't just he look but the feelings she was given off.

Catch lower h mug and stared, he remembered seeing the girl before but she wasn't like this " is she ok? "

Ethan didn't take a cup from Eater, even if his attention wasn't drawn the way from him, the wolf boy was still to uneasy about the Nightmare, he looked to Ai "... n-no she not... " the Wolf bow quickly about his head to Catch and Eira " e-xcuse me your Majesty's..." he got up and headed to Ai

"Hey, no problem," Eater casually replies to Catch as he sits back down in his spot by Crystal and carefully slides one mug over to her, keeping the last one for himself. "This'll help you feel better," he quietly informs the human girl with a smile, then leans back in his chair and takes a sip of his own.

He's distracted pretty quickly by Ai again though, as he glances over his shoulder at her, and watches Ethan go to her. Seeing the little devil child turn red is a little unnerving... but Ethan's got this, he's probably been around her longer--and if he doesn't got this and Ai tries to kill him or anything... Well then at least he'll be a good distraction while Eater gets his pack out of here. Either way, Eater doesn't retract his shackled chains all the way and lets them drag on the floor, just in case..."... So she asked me to help her, apparently Judas lost an eye and she though we could get it back, just me and her," Eater whispers, leaning a little closer to Catch as he does so, "I /might've/ told her no..."

(Hahaha X'D

Eater's brain be like: "Does Eira need hot chocolate? -> She says no
She did not ask for hot chocolate
But does she need a drink? -> She asked for /something/
If she asked for something -> She needs something
Eira has a need? -> Yes
Therefore,
Eira needs hot chocolate.")

Ai turned a rather nasty look to Ethan as he approached her, but she quickly had to squint because the light hurt her red demon eyes. She was still scowling though.

"No one wants to help Judas" Ai growls, she could feel her heart breaking, "I'm too useless on my own... He in a bad place Eefan. He all hurt and no one want to help him!" she throws her cup down to the floor, watching it shatter and the hot chocolate splatter across the floor and her boots. She was trembling with an assortment of emotions, not all of which she understood.

Terra hardly pays attention to Sparky at this point with how completely perplexed he is by Osiris' behaviour--he can't help but narrow his eyes suspiciously at the butler when he kneels before his Fairfin. //What's so special about Sparky? Is it because he's a Fairfin, or is it something special about him? Calling him "master" and then going so far as to do this... No one would suspect anything big or grand out of a Fairfin... but is there more to them than what we know...?// he speculates. //... Or does Osiris just have a unique sense of humor...?//

Sparky's eyes widen when Osiris kneels before him, and he bows his head in return, hopping off the tablet. "Of course, sir Osiris! You may commandeer this tablet at any time, because it is not my tablet, it's yours, although I guess you did say we could keep the stuff... Which makes it mine... But either way, you may freely use this to our advantage!" the mouse Fairfin cheerfully replies, in a rather dramatic tone of voice.

Eira was lost in thought, sipping on her hot chocolate, until she heard Ai's mug shatter and she looked up. "What's going on?" she murmured aloud to no one in particular. She set her mug down and stood, trying to peer over at the sudden commotion.

" great thanks Master Sparky " Osiris commented, taking the tablet from the ghost Fairfin, the tail man then stood up, he touched a few buttons on the screen of the tablet, a deep Frown crossed his face " oh may, it appears wost they I thought..." after muttering this the Phoenix shapeshifter turn the screen.

On the screen was showing the news report, it was part of the city that Terra nor Fiona had seen yet, it was raining but that wasn't what was disturbing the Phoenix shapeshifter, people look to be in panic, at first they all look human until Osiris stop the video and there was a blurred image of what could be seen as some kind of Shadowy monster " it appears the city is under attack..." Osiris holds out the tablet to someone to take it " though.... this is quite unlike him, he doesn't show his hand, not like this... so it bags a question who forced him?..."

Fiona curiously watched Osiris stand up and touch the tablet a few times. Her gaze flicked to Sparky briefly, then back to the butler.

Then Elemental stared at the chaotic news report on the little screen. Her brow furrowed and a frown came to her face when a certain shadowy being appeared. She reached out to take the tablet and get a closer look at the blurred image, but she held it so Terra and Sparky could get a good view, too.
"Him? Is... Is this him...? Or... Is this a thing that works for /a bigger thing./
...Somebody had to have forced 'him' to attack...?" She threw these questions onto the growing pile she'd developed in the duration of just this conversation. "This looks like a shadowy thing... There are lots of shadowy things aren't there...? But this must be some /specific kind/ of shadowy thing..."

Dreamcatcher watch the little girl as Eater explains what the two talked about " that terrible" he thinks outloud, he really didn't know that much about Judas, other then the brief odd and sometimes uncomfortable interactions with Omen but Blue said he was weird because Soledormir was using him.

" I see..." Catch glace to the Nightmare, they were supposed to help people right? He could feel the girls desperation and anger " I don't think just you and her go but maybe we can look into it as a gro-' the Dreamer prince snapped his head toward Ai when she smash the cup, he stared taken back for a moment, a few different thoughts crossed his mind seeing the child throw a fit and breaking something, he didn't approve of that but with the amount of frustration he understood why, it didn't make it right but he could get why she did it.

Dreamcatcher sighed " I don't think running off is a good thing, but I'll see if I can talk with her " he got up without saying anything more, he knew what he should do, he headed over to the little girl

Ethan took a rag off one of the cabinet, he kneel down close but not to close to Ai, he wasn't the greatest with younger kids and Ai spook him " A-ai you know t-hat not true... everyone here at the Silver spear and e-ven your own father are trying to save your b-rother. " he does his best to tell the girl and reaches out to dry Ai off

Dreameater nods his head when Catch starts bringing up the possibility of them looking into it as a group, but he quickly leans forward in his chair and sets his mug of hot chocolate on the table when Ai throws her tantrum. //... Did she really just smash her cup on the floor?// he asks himself, almost in disbelief, //... She really did! Oooh, she's gonna get it when her parents find out...! ... But she also just wasted that hot chocolate..//

The Nightmare stays quiet until Catch gets up, though Dreameater stays in his seat for the moment. He isn't quite sure how to feel about that--sure Ai's just a little girl, but those hands of hers are a threat, and he doesn't know for sure what she'll do... "Alright, just remember to be careful of her hands," Eater quietly warns the Dreamer Prince, keeping a keen eye on the situation with Ai.

"But that been said forever!" Ai complains loudly, "And now Judas is missing an eye" she gestures to herself which eye is gone, "And he got black spots all over him, he hurt bad and he gonna come kill all of us!" she scowls even more as Ethan starts drying her off. But she doesn't touch him with her hands, they're gloved anyways, she just stands stiff with frustration.

Terradream continues watching everything play out, still taking mental note on as much as he can, from Osiris' behaviour and speech, to what's happening in the report itself. After Fiona asks her questions, he quietly asks his own, "... I-is this 'him' someone you can't t-... talk about, Osiris...?"

Then Sparky chimes in, scratching his chin. "... Uh, is it just me or does that thing kinda remind you guys of that one dark and scary place where we had to save Crystal and the others? Does it look like something that'd be there? ... I think Eater said that was Void's palace."

( x.x I don't know how much longer I can stay up, I can feel sleep pulling on me already)

Eira came to stand with the rest of the crowd around Ai, frowning in concern at what the girl said. "How would you even know where he is?" she asked, trying to figure out whether Ai had been dreaming up bad things, or if she knew something they didn't.

(pfft I knew it
Midnight rolls around here and you're gone)

(I'm starting to feel the sleep too XP )

(Well I guess this is where we call it a night! Good night everyone! It's been fun, and see you all next time~)

(Alrighty! Goodnight everyone! It was fun!

(Goodnight everybody! See you next time!)
