Good morning!

Good morning! :3

I should probably start copying and pasted

Yee, if you don't mind!

I can get it actually! Don't worry about it!

Eater nods his head at all the points his friend brings up, and at the end, he leans forward again and holds his hands out in front of him. "Exactly, we need some kind of plan, that's where I was tryi--wait..." he starts to say, but perhaps some gears have started to turn in his head as he thinks on the last thing Catch said... "... Wait... WAIT! I FORGOT I'M POSSESSED!!" Eater suddenly exclaims, standing up just as suddenly and pointing at the Dreamer Prince, "HE WAS TAKING OVER ME JUST NOW AND I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT!! WASN'T HE?! AND YOU WERE HELPING HIM! WEREN'T YOU!?" Turning away from Dreamcatcher, Eater starts marching off towards the cooking area of the kitchen, where they must keep the food. "Forget helping you with anything, I'm not going to let you kill me to save Weaver! Forget freaking Hiiro too, I don't care if the Abyss or anything else out there gets him, I'm going to eat something!!"

... Except, even with those words, he doesn't get very far before he slows to a stop, and then gradually turns around, almost reluctantly heading back to Catch with a dark expression on his face. "... Except we need to get Purity's Key back from him, and I do need you to help me stop Soledormir..." Eater grumbles as he sits back down in his seat and crosses his arms, glaring down at the floor.

Dreamcatcher nearly falls out of his seat when Eater started yelling and ranting, he balance himself out and sit up right and watch the Nightmare with wide eyes // was I? I guess I was talking to him just like I would Weaver but it hard not to when he acts and is Weaver, or at least Weaver still in there // he wasn't exactly sure how handle this now, should he watch what he says around him? He already knew that only make tension but so would talking like this...

When Eater stomp back and took a grumpy seat, he thinks a bit on what to say next and then just go for it " we kinda need each other help if we're going to stop Soledormir " he leaned forward as he went on " are group is already getting broken apart... Purity in a coma and we don't know when or how she wake up... Hiiro a mess he was full of rage and bitterness, I can understand were he coming from, Crimson did kill Mina, I know if anything happened to Eira It would change me..." he said honestly, the Dreamer prince didn't like to think about what would happen if his wife die or was lost to her corruption but that brought in his next point
" but we don't know everything about Crimson either, heck I just learned he has an evil sword, im sure he not all bad but what else do we not know? I don't even remember when he showed up, was it back in Howaito? " Catch was more rambling at the end trying to remember what did he know, but he got back on track fairly quickly " he obviously corrupted but so is 70% of the group, Eira, me, you, Fiona, Purity now, I think Hiiro is to, there has to be something with him, I seen his blood turn black back at Cielo... and im not sure about Alex, I don't know her that well but she in love with Malice.... " Catch took his figures wrapped in between his eyebrows, there was so much he didn't know, was it corruption for people's choices?

//There's got to be land on the other side of this... There's got to be!!// Purity tries to encourage herself, //I just have to get past these... These... Buildings...?!//
She pins her ears back at the continued horrifying noises behind her, but keeps running, even as the red energy flies past her and hits the skyscraper. //I can't slow down to think, or else that thing behind me will catch me, I'll have to think of something on the fly...!// she grimaces, barreling ahead...

She quickly tries to gauge whether or not it's falling towards one side or the other, then tries to turn towards the way she assumes is the opposite. She uses her magic to bend the water below her to help her turn smoother, and then curves up more in like a tidal wave ahead of, beside, and over her, to serve as almost a barrier just in case some debris does get through. It might not stop everything, but hopefully the force of the water curving up will push anything falling past her instead of directly on her.

The metal beams of the skyscraper began to shift and turn to what look like to be giant Rose Vines
As the building falls debris is sent flying, it was a good thing that the Dreamer had anticipated that

a huge tidal wave emerge from the skyscraper colliding with the water

What Purity would see on the On the other would a just as bizarre, Again it look like an assortment of things dropped out in the water but now some were floating to
A ghostly pirate ship sailing but it wasn't on the water but just hovering above it.

Buildings or scattered all around, cars, wagons, a mailbox, walkways etc...things you could see on an everyday life depending on the word, all tossed in a bathtub

off in the distance a light glowed, a light house...

"... follow the light... it will get you to land....but don't trust what you find..."

Rahab's eyebrows raised as he listened to Ethan's response. "Aight... You guys have more Keys than I expected you'd have." He seemed to get a bit quieter, having more respect for the Keyhunters for actually succeeding rather well so far. He frowned and held up a finger at the second part of Ethan's message. "Hold on - what device? What are you powering up with those Keys?" He looked between the wolf boy and Eira for an answer. Eira looked to Ethan, hoping for his explanation.

Ethan ears pind back, he hadn't realized that the key hunters didn't know about it yet, but then again they hadn't been at the Palace too long, so he was as good as anyone to give the run down " u-mm well It-s a device Blue found after spending a few years
uncover the t-ruth about Judas...we had track down this device that we believe the old ones had made for defend against Omen, but as we uncover more it would not kill a Royal but remove the Guardian Stone on their chest, cutting their bond with their familiar buy keeping the individual alive. Something that hasn't been done before... unfortunately we were not the only ones after this device
which led to a rescue raid of a rival Clans called the Fading Light, led by there cunning and r-uthless leader T-ymerris, he had been capturing red demons and Royal and s-ilver bloods, he had a secret base were he was running... running e-xperiments on them " the wolf boy shook his head and hug himself as he looked down, he was one who had been capturing, he had been tortured but his rescue came quickly, he knew others were not so lucky...

He took a breath and continue to explain " Blue team stopped Tymerris stop his operation but unfortunately he had gotten away...the good news is I was rescued along with the other who were still alive, and we got back the device Tymerris had stolen from us "

Ethan then takes his figures to his arm bands and moves a few symbols, he then held out his hand and a holographic image showed of the device, it looked like something that fits on the chest with a hole in the middle " we think Alora had made this for Judas... or at least started it Qui found records of Alora speaking on plans to free him but unfortunately she was killed before she could and then the truth about Judas was lost"
Ethan then takes his free hand and pointed to smaller holes on the edge of the device that looked oddly like key holes " we suspect that this device was finished by someone who understood Order magic and Dreamer craftsmanship, who or why were not sure yet... but who ever did planned that the keys would be used "

With Osiris calling him, Terra lets Fiona and her tiara slide for now, and he and his Fairfin both head over to the butler. Terra's own curiosity is piqued immediately by the two gems that Osiris gets for them, but Sparky blurts out what the both of them are thinking: "Ooooooh! A super secret agent?! That's so cool!! Are we gonna be super secret agents too?!"

But without saying anything himself, Terra takes one gemstone in his ribbon, watching as its glow changes to a golden yellow color upon making contact, then places it up by his neck, as instructed...

The gem then glows brightly, wisps of light spreading from it, as it forms into... a small, deep green bowtie with lighter green and orange stripes.

Sparky gasps. "Are we gonna get matching ties?!" he cheers, quickly taking the other gem (but still politely, he makes certain to regally and graciously accept the gem from Osiris before acting all excited again), and puts it up by his neck, where it makes him his own tiny little yellow and white bow tie. Sparky proudly puts his paws on his hips afterwards and grins, looking over to Fiona. "How do we look?"

Terra doesn't say anything himself, though he is wondering the same thing... He casts a slight glance at Fiona out of the corner of his eye. //... It's... Not that bad or anything, right...?//

Fiona gave Osiris the best grin she could manage, though she still felt awkward. //...So... That means I'm doing it right? Right... Yeah!// She poked at the tiara-headband a little just to be sure it would stay up properly.

Then she watched as Osiris picked out a couple of items for Terra and Sparky. She briefly forgot her own situation thanks to her curiosity about whatever he had given them. When Sparky asked her for her thoughts, she turned and approached her ghostly companions.

She looked to Sparky, a grin starting to appear on her face as his new little bowtie caught her eyes. Then she glanced to Terra, first looking to the Dreamer's new, matching tie, then slowly up to his eyes. "You guys look SO COOL!!" The Elemental beamed, floating up and around them a little in her excitement, "You've got fancy, lucky bowties!! I didn't know secret agents wore those--but you both could totally be awesome secret agents!!"

"perfect fit Master Sparky, you and Sir Terra both look look ready for Duty, or at least mostly ready" the Phoenix shapeshifter

Osiris walk over to a other magic case, this one had hand guns displayed in it " in your current state physical items can be challenging...your bow tie will allow you to interact with the Physical Realm more easily" he took out a pistol, at first it only look to be a handle but as the gun was brought closer to Terra the rest of it formed " and this weapon was crafted to defend against both the Physical and spiritual force "

Before giving the gun fully over Osiris gave him a warning " be mindfully Sir Terra when using this weapon, though it is one you can use it dose not take natural bullets, you will need these " he hand over strand with little glowing balls " you can fire the weapon without them however it will be using your own magic "

(Hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm--

Hallooooo! :>)

( Helllooooo!! How are you doing?)

(I'm doing sleepy, but alright!

How're you doing, Shadow and Lilly? (And whoever else may be watching...))

(HELLO!!!

I AM EXCITE BECAUSE I HAVE COLORS ON THE SWITCH, AND I AM VERY HAPPY, BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT ALREADY XD

I'M GLAD YOU'RE DOING ALRIGHT BESIDES BEING SLEEPY!)

(That good that you're doing alright besides from being sleepy Fluffy ^-^

YEAH!! You can now see how people stuff is xD )

(YEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Noice. X3)

Dreameater stays quiet, staring down at the ground until the prince brings up Hiiro again, at which point he cuts his dark eyes over at him. "You think that's what it is? That the reason why Hiiro told us all to /go die/ was because he's corrupted?" Eater starts with almost a growl, "You said you could feel the hate he had, do you really think that was all because of some corruption? And of course I understand why he wants to kill Crimson and me! Crimson killed Mina and all and I stopped Hiiro from killing him, so, sure, he's got kind of a reason to want to kill us. But, does that make it right?" The Nightmare leans forward, his tone of voice being as dark and menacing as his eyes. "... You said it'd change you if Eira died? Well, if /I/ killed Eira, would you kill me? Even though you know your brother's still in here? Would you do it, Catch? Would you kill him too?" He leans back in his chair afterwards, his arms still crossed, and still glaring at Dreamcatcher. "... There's also a key difference between all of us that should be obvious. You know Nightmares are driven to kill the people their former self was close to, and sure I got one of you when I turned, but you notice how I haven't really tried to kill anyone else that Weaver cared about since then? As much as I'm curious what you and your silverblood tastes like, and as much as I know Purity would be delicious..."
... He has to stop himself for a moment and swallow, his mouth watering at just the thought of eating Purity...
"... I'm trying to keep myself under control, and trying to resist it because I need you idiots to stop Soledormir first..." Eater growls. "And Crimson's got an evil sword and some serious type of corruption, but when I saw him after he killed Mina, he was crying, he was miserable. He never even wanted to kill her, he was in agony over it. But what about Hiiro? What has Hiiro done, Catch?"

Terradream stays nervously quiet as Fiona examines him and his Fairfin, but when she beams and starts complimenting the both of them, he starts turning a bit more invisible. //She... She thinks I look /cool...?/ Sh-she's really genuine about it, too...// Terra thinks to himself, giving her quite the goofy, but happy smile in return, as well as perking his ears up some.

//Aww, lookit you, Terra, gettin' compliments from your girl,// Sparky thinks, not actually saying it in any way to his partner, for he knows his Dreamer would probably go completely invisible then...

But, Terra quickly tries to compose himself again when Osiris comes back with the weapon, attempting to do whatever it is that would be the closest to clearing his throat as a ghost. //It's just a bowtie, lots of guys wear bowties, or ties... It's not /that/ cool,// he tries to tell himself so he can focus. "Y-yeah... Th-thanks..." Terra says a little softer than usual, then tries to speak a little louder as he accepts the gun and its strand of bullets, "I'll... I'll keep aware of my magic when I r-run out of bullets... But... How would I get more? Do you know how to replicate them, despite th-this being ancient technology fr-from some foreign world...?"

(Hellooooooo! This cover looks so awesome and spooky~ Very well drawn e.e

Hi Lilly and Fluffy and Shadow and whoever else lurketh out there!

That's awesome Lilly!! :D have you attempted an art on your Switch yet?

I know it's been asked, but how is everyone? x3

I gotta go to the store but I'll be more present once I'm back!)

Fiona was always happy to see Terra's goofy smile. She remained floating in the air for a moment longer, still looking between the two ghosts and their fancy ties, but when Osiris came back with a weapon, she remembered that it probably wasn't polite to just fly around...

The Elemental landed, then tipped her head as she listened and got a good look at the mysterious gun and the glowing bullets that went with it. "Oooh... A ghost gun...!?" She muttered, wondering how weapons like that would be made... Or what they'd be made for, in particular?
Either way, she was glad one existed--it meant Terra would have something more to defend himself with. Though, another thought entered her mind... //...Terra can use a gun? I've never seen him use a gun before...//

...Of course, the last part of Osiris' explanation immediately brought out a little bit of concern in her, but she knew that Terra would take care of himself. For the time being, Fiona remained quiet and waited attentively to hear the Phoenix butler's response.

(Hiya Fade! Good to see ya! :D

I have not yet because I do not have my pen X'D But I have played around with the options some and looked at different pictures, everything's so pretty on here! My goal when I get my pen is to try making a new ref for Mal~ XD

I'm doing greeaat~ XD

Alrighty Fadey! :D )

(Hey Fade! X3

I'm sleepy, but alright! Probably need to go get food pretty soon, too...

Hope things go well for you at the store! I'll probably bombard you with the 'how are you' when you get back! X'D
...Unless you're able to answer that now, that is.)

Knowing that the skyscraper will make another, much bigger tidal wave than her own, Purity readies her water magic and keeps running... As the wave comes closer, she doesn't avoid it, instead she tunnels straight through it with her magic, and then goes up, bursting out of the top of the wave. She continues rising up, riding on a stream of water that she's controlling now, and this is where she gets a better look at what's around her: the ghost ship, the wagons, cars, etc... But most importantly, the lighthouse in the distance... //Ok!! I see it, I just have to make it there!! I can make it!!// she thinks, feeling a renewed hope as she dashes onward, flying over the ghost ship on her water magic. She vaguely notices something in the air even higher above, but doesn't stop to take a look since she's focused on her goal...

( Hi Fade!!! It good to see you! X3
You have a good time!

I'm doing alright! Had a headache again this morning but it doing better after a nap )

Osiris took one of the bullets and held it out " I will take care of that sir Terra, there are those here who I trust can make suitable replacements, I will see to it that a blue print is made in case you are in need of more outside of Senza"
" now for the rest of your part? Hmm..."The Phoenix shapeshifter then went on to get the rest of the items that may help the difference members of the group, taking various trinkets from different cases and expanding to them what they did
" if we had more time I could provide more assistant but time is of the essence "

Up above the Dreamer airplanes flue

For a moment the sound of her attacker had stopped or perhaps it was drowned out by the crash of the skyscraper but soon it returned, That same horrible sound from before followed by a hiss and a flash of red from behind...

The Ghost Ship exploded getting hit by the red energy, the debris shifted in the air and turned into creatures, dragons , Griffins and other wing creatures some of them went up into the sky and started to attack the aircrafts which very quickly started a dog fight,

some of the creatures went after Purity...

The battle over head started to rain down destruction below, explosions, shrapnel and body's...

(Ahh, sorry to hear you had a headache again, Shadow! Glad it went away, though. Hopefully it'll stay gone.)

( thank you! I don't know why I keep getting them x.x )

(Yeah, same here Shadow, I'm glad it's gone, and I hope you stop getting them :/

I also hope Galaxy's doing alright today, too :s Hopefully it's at least better than last weekend)

(Me too. :s)

( thank you :)

I hope so to, :< )

"Thank you, s-sir..." Terra quietly stutters, watching as Osiris gets things for the others, and explains about them. He nods his head once the butler is done. "... I... I will have questions for you about all of this later, i-if... you don't mind me asking..." He says, then pauses and glances at Fiona briefly. "... I guess... Osiris, Sparky, and I can go f-find the others, if you want to go find Alex...?"

"Yeah, thank you!" Fiona echoed Terra in a much louder fashion, very thankful for all that the butler was doing for them. She attentively took in every detail about the artifacts he'd chosen for their group, then she also gave a big nod at the end--with a serious look on her face.

"That'd probably be the fastest! ...So long as Alex and I can find you guys." The Elemental replied to Terra, then glanced back to Osiris, a deeply thoughtful look starting to appear on her face.
"...Osiris, I have one more question--I'll make it quick, though!
I know you can't say everything, but I'm still gonna ask... Do you know anything about a giant, dark centipede thing that you can't attack and that can command Nightmares...?" She asked very quickly, just as she'd said.

The Dreamer prince stay quiet as he listened to the Nightmare, he had brought up some pressing issues, some not even the prince could deny but at the same time this was all Eater not Weaver and he knew that to

There was a lot for Dreamcatcher to think about, he did feel the hate Hiiro had for everyone, he knew why just like Eater said, Crimson killed Mina and Eater stopped Hiiro from killing him, which now Hiiro felt betrayed because most people were blaming Crimson's corruption and not him, he himself agreed that it wasn't Crimson fault entirely // things could have gone differently if he told us about it... but who am I to say? I knew about Weaver turning and said nothing...// with that thought Catch took his hand and rubbed his face realizing " it the same thing..." he Mumble to himself// we really haven't learned from each other have we? But we don't really even know one other ether...//
The Dreamer prince sighed, everyone was a mess in some way including himself " Eater... I have no doubts I would kill you if you killed Eira...I would hunt you down to any world you try to hide in " he was trying very hard not to growl himself " seen im being honest here, I kill you for killing Terra and if you killed Purity to " he turned his eyes over to the Nightmare, they burned with the silvery blue flame of the eclipse " ...however, here you are, why? Because I believe from the start there a way to save Weaver and you better be thankful for that " now he threatened with a growl

Catch knew he needed to get a hold of himself, adding to the emotional outburst wasn't going to help anyone, he took a deep breath and look straight forward " ...Eater, the truth of it is, I don't want anyone to die, if I can I want to do what I can to save everyone... Eira, Purity, Terra, Sparky, Fiona, Crimson, Hiiro, Weaver and well... im not sure but something was different with Malice...if he of all things has been changing maybe their hope for Hiiro and well you to..."

" i'm not saying I agree with Hiiro, absolutely not, killing you or Crimson would be just as wrong, exactly under the circumstances... the real issue in this case is what behind the reason and that is the corruption, that is what to blame " Catch glace down now things back on all Hiiro had done "... to be honest... Im not sure about Hiiro, I don't think he evil... but there is something wrong with him, back in Cielo he took on a monster form and just before that he came to me Eater... he was disgusted and ashamed of himself because he killed and ate, Dreamer fawns..." Catch own stomach turned, thinking back on things he keep so many dark secrets... others placing their burdens on him and yet giving him no to little abilities to help them, he looked down again disgusted with himself and whispered under his breath " I really hate secrets..."

But self pity wasn't what Catch wanting, he needed to say on topic " the point is a monster wouldn't feel guilty about that, and Hiiro did... there was a time back in Howaito were Hiiro stopped me from hurting a woman to... I was in my dark form and the fear...I could taste the fear in my mouth, I felt the clawing hungry in the pit of my stomach and I wanted to satisfy it... sure it was because of Hiiro I was put into that situation but he knew what I was going to do was to far... if he really didn't care why did he stop me? " he asked but not really to Eater but him thinking outloud, trying to fine some glimmer of hope

Purity Dreamer yelps when the ghost ship explodes, having just made it over it, though at this part it's a little hard not to get distracted by the chaos that's happening around her. //Is it turning into creatures?!// she only briefly wonders, as some of the said creatures begin chasing her. //Great, now I've got more things to get away from!// She barely holds back a screech as a dead body barely misses her...

With so much debris flying everywhere, and her practically flying through the air, she comes up with another idea: Purity curves her trail of water downwards, making almost a water slide, and continues down. Going under the surface of the ocean this time, she turns the water to make a stronger version of the barrier she made for herself earlier--this time as a swirling, sparkling tunnel of water around her. //I just have to keep going straight, at least for a little while, then I'll need to go back up again... I'll have to figure out how I'm going to stop when I do finally hit land, too...//

Osiris gave a small bow to Terra " excellent sir, I will be looking forward to your return "

But at the question of Fiona the Phoenix shapeshifter expression changed to dread, his ears pind back and his crest/hair flattened down "... that is something I can not speak of its name, though I do know of it lady Fiona..."he looks up in thought " that is discomforting that he can control Nightmares.... though it is should not have come as a surprise, its a monster of monsters, one who sits beside Soledormir black throne..."
He then looked to Fiona " if you seeking this demon, I give you a word of caution, it is older then I and has never been defeated "

Under water the area around the monster was illuminated with the Sinister red light

The sound from it sounded like a mixture of rain pounding against a window and dozens of Whispers in the wind

flashes Up above of on going battle

Bodies were adrift in the water, some from the battle as others were already there, the ones that were already there were mostly Dreamer Corpses

Terra goes quiet, and simply gives Fiona a nod. //Maybe we can try meeting up at the palace gates? Or the barrier...?// he ponders, figuring he'll hold onto that thought until after Osiris answers Fiona's question. This has brought up some other concerns for Terra, as well... //That's going to be a problem for Weaver, isn't it...? Though maybe it'd be best if he didn't even go out there, if the city's under attack... That'd be a lot of fear from the citizens...//

As Purity runs through her underwater tunnel, she still tries to ignore everything around her--sometimes she catches a glimpse of a Dreamer corpse in the water, other times she sees the red glow from the monster in her peripheral vision, but she tries to ignore it, up until she notices something, and turns her head left..

If she weren't already putting all her energy into running, she'd scream as she realizes that the monster is now swimming beside her. Through the blurry, dark water, all she can vaguely make out is the head of the creature, with its twisted, toothy, grinning maw, and its right eye with its glowing red, slit pupil, that seems to curve in almost a crescent shape, and looks right into her own eyes... //HOW DID IT CATCH UP TO ME?! I WAS OUTRUNNING IT BEFORE?!// Purity shrieks in her head, and not even thinking about what she's doing, she curls her water tunnel upwards, practically shoots herself out of the water, and shapeshifts into a blue jay, frantically trying to fly to land...

Some of the flying creatures immediately begin chasing Purity again the moment she's above the water, and the monstrous beast in the water continues chasing her from below. She's so close to the lighthouse though, its bright light standing out like a beacon in an otherwise dark world, but she can almost feel the creatures right behind her, trying to bite at her, and she hears that horrible hiss again from below...

But the moment she's in the light of the lighthouse, it all seems to stop. The creatures stop pursuing her, and the sea monster seems to do nothing after that hiss, although Purity doesn't realize this in her panic at first. She keeps beating her wings as fast as she can until she reaches the beach, where she quickly shifts back to her true form before she even crashes into the black sand. //... I can't go anymore,// she thinks, her heart pounding in her chest, her breathing heavy, and her wound in her gut aching, not to mention everything else that's hurting after that crash. //Please let me be safe... I just can't move anymore... I can't...//

The sound of Tide washing against 'things' was at the only sound, but After some time had passed Purity would hear a very familiar voice...

" that was quite the show, impressive really, you made it to shore..." Crimson was sitting on top of a Boulder, he was looking out towards the water as he was ripping something up in his hands and tossing the pieces below "not everyone has done that..."

What he meant by that was what was littering the beach was Nightmares Corpses... but the ones were the water were still splashing against them, were partially Dreamers, at least the parts in water...

Some of the bodies had bizarre looking octopus crab creatures feeding on them, some of these creatures had been heading towards the collapsed Dreamer out of curiosity but turned and headed towards the stuff Crimson was tossing on the ground "maybe luck in your favor? But what kind?..."

Fiona's eyes widened a little at Osiris' reaction. She knew this thing was a huge threat--but this was even bigger than she'd first expected. "/One who sits beside Soledormir's throne?!/ We're gonna have to be /way/ more careful going anywhere..." Thoughts about the plan to go to the city, as well as the plan she'd made with Alex started dancing in her mind. But she decided not to get too focused on those yet. "Thanks again, Osiris. This is still something new! We'll have to try figuring out more later...
But for now, we'll give it our all with investigating and stopping the crazy stuff in the city!" She assured the Phoenix, standing alert almost like a soldier.
"...I'll keep this safe and return it later, too." She briefly disrupted her stance to motion to the tiara-headband on her forehead.

The Nightmare watches Catch as he starts to talk, observing his expression and posture, he doesn't really care when the Prince starts threatening him back, Why should he be threatened by both his prey and his pack member...? //And it's because of your belief that I've been able to kill more people,// he thinks to himself, knowing that exactly is why he's been able to stay with the group, he's known that for a long time, and hasn't had any problem using that as his cover until he found that there actually is some hope for Weaver...

What Catch does bring up about saving people, in particular, even saving /him,/ does confuse Eater, though. //Me? Save /me?/ What does he mean by that? Save me from what?! What is he freaking talking about?! I don't need anyone to freaking save me!?// But he tries to move away from that topic since he doesn't understand...

"Ok, sure, so Hiiro felt guilty about eating Dreamer fawns... back then," Eater starts when Catch is done, "And that was how long ago? And he stopped you from hurting someone, when? Is that all you have that you can justify him with? What's the most recent thing he's done for you? He seemed like he liked you back then, so he must consider you a friend, right? If he's really a good guy at his core, and you're a friend, then he should've done /something/ more since a freaking /year/ ago." He pauses again, thinking over things he's talked about with Catch recently. "... Didn't you say something last night about Hiiro trying to eat you, and then he stepped on you?"

Osiris nodded his head to the Elemental, he was relieved that she seem to understand the dangers of speaking out the Abyss " I will say this, for Soledormir to send one who sits by this thrown is quite troubling... Soledormir is waken "

After giving this ominous message, the Phoenix shapeshifters went and got a few more items... he went to a few different cases and got out a various of items and returned shortly " these may also be of some use " he handed out the trinkets that would provide some form of protection and told the small group about them, he then had a small little box he held out " these will also provide a temporary protection if consumed" inside the box was fancy little cookies wafers, he was hoping it would work at least.
then he handed out different items of use " I believe not all in your party has human disguises, these with in sure that " now that he did all that, Osiris turned to the door
" now, I do urge you to make haste, the city and its people are in danger "

//... Is that... Crimson?// Purity thinks, lying in the sand a while longer as she tries to recover, slowly opening her eyes to look ahead. //That... that doesn't sound right, though, I mean it's his voice, but it doesn't sound... quite like /him/...//
The last thing that the one helpful voice told her sticks out in her mind... "Don't trust what you find..."

"... Cr... Crimson? ... Is that really you?" the Dreamer girl asks, still trying to catch her breath, "What're you talking about...?" She yelps and weakly tries to start moving around when she feels something slimy on her back--one of the octopus crab things tried to crawl over her, and now she hears tiny, tiny little whispers of voices: "Frighten!" "Flee!" "Food?" "Is Dreamer?" "Cloud." "Light."

Rahab and Eira listened contemplatively to Ethan's storytelling, and they leaned in to observe the holographic lock that he presented to them. Of course, they could only assume the holographic image was a magic thing, so they didn't question it.

After getting a good look, Rahab leaned back again nd crossed his arms. "So... You have a magic device, no clue what exactly it does, but you assume it'll set free your captured friend by taking these powerful Keys and sticking them in it. And you've never met the one who made it thousands of years ago but the Keys are supposed to be compatible with it. There's also a sadist guy who's still alive and who really wants it. Did I get that all down right?"

Eira seemed less confused by it all - she had gotten pretty used to the odd way things worked out in their Keyhunting experiences. "You said this was made to work with the Keys? Did the one that created the lock also make the Keys?"

(Hey Fade! Welcome back!

How're ya doing? :>)

(Hey there Fluffy! I'm doing okay x') Sorry for vanishing there for so long ':D I think I'm all free for the night now)

Dreamcatcher didn't look to the Nightmare as he gave his cases, he looked down getting hit with reality, what had Hiiro done for him lately? In the past there were at least times but of late, Hiiro just got more aggressive and less like a friend

A bit of hope left the Dreamer with that, maybe Hiiro really wasn't a good guy, that what he seen of him in the past was just a fluke but he didn't want to really believe that, he wanted to believe that there was still good in Hiiro, that why he acted cruel and mean was for some other reason then because the Xanos chose to be that way. "... I still think there something more to why he gotten worse, we all know how corruption works... it can Twisted mind and get it to do things that you normally wouldn't do, over time you lose what was right and wrong..."

Thinking about it, Catch realized he didn't know a lot about the Xanos, in fact he knew almost nothing about them and that got him wondering if that was some reason behind Hiiro and how he acted" there also We don't know a lot about what Hiiro is ether? Yeah he a dragon but maybe the kind he is has a lot to do with how he acts?... I mean maybe that how they carry stuff? He had a chance to eat me back in Howaito but he was only carrying me, I know this last time he step on me because I did stab him in...I just want to find out just what is really behind Hiiro "

(Good to have ya back, Fade!~ X3 )

(It's alright--life happens! Hope everything's going alright over there. At least you've got some free time now, and hopefully we can have some fun. ^v^)

( Hi Fade!! :D that alright, stuff happens, it good to see you and I hope you can have a good evening x3 )

(Thank you guys x'3 I also have some tea now, which is nice x)
I have been liking tea more recently... which makes me wonder if Eira is subconsciously a self-insert after all x'D At least, we have a lot in common.)

Ethan stood there looking down, he didn't have a good answer, because they didn't know a lot about it "... y-eah...k-inda... " he a honest Mumble back

He then glace up to Eira, she didn't make him feel as uncomfortable as her brother " W-ere not sure... Faithful D-reamer was the o-ne who design the key-s but he never told lady Victoria about this device.." he then added because he wasn't sure if they knew who Faithful was " we...we d-on't talk about F-aithful to much...he was Victoria h-usband and k-illed b-y Mali-ce... it can make her go into d-ark mourning... a deep d-epression of the l-ove one to the Vaseterm..." he picked at the bottom of his shirt, he never liked talking about this kind of stuff

( haha that great Fade xD tea pretty good, there so many different kinds to x3

You did make a really awesome Cosplay of her xD )

Crimson turned his attention from the water and over to the Dreamer on the beach, he rises an eyebrow " and who would I be?" He said with a bit of snap to his tone

His eye then drift to the creatures clawing away for Purity and over to the stuff he tossed down " you being here Purity..." he tossed the last of his stuff down " so tell me this, what the heck are you doing in my mind?" The red prince then looked back at the Dreamer with a confused expression " you know you can die here right?"
The crabs made there was over to the food Crimson tossed down " food" food" food" "scared " when he tossed the the last bigger pic " food" food"

Terra again remains quiet, thinking a little more on the fact that the Abyss sits beside Soledormir's throne... and he also briefly remembers about Fiona's tiara too, but he'll wait to bring that up again. He takes the box of cookie wafers with his ribbons and holds on to it for now, opening the lid a little to peek at what's inside before quickly closing it. He takes some of the other items Osiris offered as well. "Y-yeah, we'll get going now," he finally speaks up as the butler urges them to leave his room, turning to Fiona, "I-I'll take the bag back now, if y-you don't mind... I g-guess you and Alex can take some of the protection cookies and these rings, I'll take the other stuff to everyone else."

"/Protection cookies...!?/" Sparky quickly echoes his partner, utterly amazed.

Fiona's brow furrowed at Osiris' grim statement, then once again she quietly listened as he gave them a few more items to protect them and disguise them. She nodded when he suggested they leave, "Right!"

The Elemental looked to Terra, only pausing a moment before taking the bag and handing it to him, "Uh... Yeah, of course!" She smiled a little--yes, she was still anxious about Terra doing a lot more with his magic, but it was just like everything else...
She needed to trust him, right? He and Sparky both had those bowties now too...
She took a couple of cookies and rings from the ghostly Dreamer, having the briefest moment of 'rings? Those aren't girly...' before putting it all into her hair.

Then she took a quick moment to help Terra sort out all the items they'd been given, along with the bag he already had.
"...Alright, I think we're ready!"

Listening to Catch persistently trying to defend Hiiro leaves Dreameater rather speechless because of how far he's willing to go, to even making excuses for the Xanos like this; the dark look in his eyes gradually fades the more Catch rambles. "Why did you feel like you needed to--" he starts, reaching out and putting one hand on Dreamcatcher's shoulder while shaking his head, but he stops himself, and says something else instead, looking Catch right in the eye. "You know what? Ok, you want to find out what's going with Hiiro? When Eira, and Rahab, and Ethan get back, we'll talk about our plans with them, and then you and I can go out and find Hiiro, alright? I'll help you find him, and you can talk to him, and we'll find out what's really going on. Ok?"

Osiris gave a small bow when Fiona said they were ready, he then wave a hand towards the door " then I will see you out then"

Osiris then travel though his home and stop just at his front door, he remembered something important " oh dear... I nearly forgot something dire " he made a brief stop over at a coat hanger and took a nice gray blue one off the hook, he then opened the door to the outside world (just one of the hallways in the Palace ) " the weather forecast say we are expecting showers and if I am not mistaken you may need this lady Fiona "

(Haha thank you Shadiw! xD I do suppose q little bit of ourselves sheds onto most characters we make, since they come from our own ideas and hearts x3)

"I--I don't know, but you didn't sound right at first," Purity replies, now laying down on her belly with her legs beneath her. She'd like to get up all the way after the crab thing tried to crawl over her, but she's still hurting and exhausted after everything she went through. Now that she's a bit more up, she starts looking around more, first noticing the Nightmare corpses that are laying on the beach with her. "O-oh..." she quietly gasps, pinning her ears back at the sight and feeling a knot in her gut as she looks at them, especially when she sees that some of them are still partially Dreamers... Then, she looks over in Crimson's direction, grimacing as she watches the octopus crabs crawling over to him. She isn't exactly sure what he's feeding them: in his hands it looks like some kind of bread or something, but once it's out of his hands, it turns into something else, and by the time it hits the sand, it looks more like some kind of strange, black meat... She doesn't really want to know what it is.

Then, Purity also remembers that Crimson kept talking. "Oh? ... Wait, I'm in your mind? How am I in your head?! I can die here?! I think I almost did!" she quickly starts to ask and then explain, "I don't know how I got here, I was in my own dream--I think? I was having a nightmare and then Weaver came in and, I guess he changed it, he made a beautiful beach in my dream and stayed with me awhile, he helped me feel better... Then Terra came in and we all talked for a bit, until Eater took over Weaver again and left, Terra went after him too," Purity has to pause a moment to breathe, "I was there, pacing around and just trying to think, when I heard someone calling for help, I wanted to find this person, so I chased his voice across the sea..." She glances sadly back out at the ocean with its dark rock formations. At least it seems calmer out there now.
"... I couldn't reach him though, I think he was the sun? Or a star... I don't know, his voice sounded like it was coming from--at least somewhere over there, where the sun was setting, I don't really know what happened, but I... I couldn't reach him... And everything went dark..."

The Dreamer plays with a bit of her cloud mane (using her ribbon) as she looks back to Crimson, still not sure what to think. He looks identical to Crimson--well, almost identical, the only differences are his black undershirt and his sleeves that go down all the way to the base of his hands, covering his wrists. Still, she keeps thinking about what the voice told her, over and over like a broken record in her mind, and nothing seems right here...

( haha I think that true to exactly with are favorite kids x'D )

( I did reply for Ethan, not sure if you seen it Fade )

Dreamcatcher was expecting the Nightmare to keep going on about Hiiro, he relaxed when Eater lighten the topic, he did feel something in his gut, that what he fine wouldn't be what he wanted but he needed the truth " alright... I think that be a good plan, I want to talk with Hiiro fine out what really going on with "

After everything's sorted, Terra simply nods his head in agreement with Fiona and starts to leave the room, pausing just a moment as Osiris has one last thing for them. //... He's very generous with his things...// is all Terra notes for now, going over everything that's happened in his mind.

Sparky follows right along with his partner, but stays just a little further behind, having some last comments he wants to make to Osiris after he gives Fiona the raincoat. "Osiris! You have my many thanks for equipping me, my partner, my partner's girlfriend, and the rest of our friends, and our acquaintances, and maybe our friends' acquaintances with such things that we need! With these things will go out and fight the good fight, and save the people, hopefully, and return these back to you once again! Farewell, and wish us luck!" he regally declares with a bow.

( we should probably call it a night soon )

(Yeah, I gotta get up early in the morning, I don't think I'll make anymore posts for the night)

Crimson tipped his head to the side but doesn't say anything in reply to Purity first comment, he then followed the Dreamer gaze to the sea and other things " yes, yes you are...its quite something isn't? you never experienced Madness before have you? Of course not you just said you never been in someone else's mind before, to see what /really/ in a person /heart/"

The red prince looked back out towards the water and Frowned " In this place many things will try to trick you, lure you into danger...it sounds like you almost fell into such a trap, the Harbinger almost got you... if I were you I wouldn't listen to any more strange voices, you were lucky this time but next you might not be so lucky "

( I think this is my last to )

( Sparky <3 )

(I love writing for him XD )

( I just nodded off so I think im going to hop off now
Good night everyone! )

Fiona followed the group to the door, then accepted the coat from Osiris. She let Sparky give his thanks first, then added on, "Uh... Yeah!! We'll give it our all--especially thanks to you!" as well as giving a bow of her own--was she supposed to do that? She might as well, it seemed right and polite...

Then she headed out with the two ghosts. "You guys'll be able to find everyone quick, I'm sure! I'll find Alex and we'll meet up with ya later--maybe out front!" The Elemental said, starting to head off down the hall to look for Alex. She looked back to add one last thing for Terra, though--"Love you!"

(Alrighty, I'm gonna go to bed now too!

Good night you guys! Hopefully we'll see everyone here next weekend! :3 )

(Sparky is amazing. I love that guy. X"D

It's definitely a good time to call it a night though.
Goodnight guys! I'm hoping for that too!)
