As her arrow went down the alley, Crystal lowered her Bow to see what was ahead of them, only to quickly bring it back up as she saw the glimpses of the monsters in hiding.
She stepped over to give Christina room with her gun as she saw the officer raise it, and to get a better aim for herself too. Crystal couldn’t help but yet again tense up when the loud weapon was fired, though she pushed through and soon formed another more normal arrow, quickly pulling back and aiming at one of the advancing monsters, ‘I really don’t like this part..’ she thought before releasing it and preparing for the next
Between the two girls the monsters were swiftly dealt with.
Christina he loaded her Glock with a fresh clip, though these shades were dealt with she wasn't going to let down her guard, these characters had already set up a trap and she didn't know what else they could do.
The officer signal with one hand that she was going to move forward, she checked the alleyway one more time before going in, moving quickly but cautiously checking around garbage and it was a good thing to because as she turned to check around one of the dumpsters a shade was waiting, it lunged at her but she was ready, she fired her pistol until the monsters stop moving // these things are sneaky but predictable...still I cannot let down my guard //after taking a few breaths and reloading her weapon.
" ok, I think that all of them " she breath out, she moved over to were the firescape was " cover me as I get this down " she said and up her gun away for a moment, the ladder was in the upright position so she jumped and grabbed a hold of the bottom rall and with a good tug the ladder came loose and dropped down.
All the while this was going on, a black bird with an odd red making landed on a nearby trash can, it tip its head staring at Crystal with its red eyes
Eira gave Fiona an encouraging smile after the punk-rock-looking Elemental did her best to show her support to their patient. "I think you're doing a wonderful job. You're making it clear that you're here to help, so they have nothing to fear." She gave the woman a thumbs-up as well, not as cool as Fiona's but still as enthusiastic as she could muster.
After they were finished, Eira turned and looked around the room in case there were others who needed help. "Okay... A lot of stuff going on... Do we look for more things to contribute here, or do we go back outside?" she wondered aloud, trying to assess what would be most helpful. With so much going on, and so many lives on the line, it was hard to tell what the best choice was. People were dying everywhere, and there's only a few heroes to help... There's a lot of shots to call, and Eira was really thinking hard about which ones were right.
"I guess... So long as we're doing /something,/ then we're not doing /nothing,/ and that makes a difference. What do you say we do next, Fiona?" the shiftress asked, turning to the Elemental.
Boreas gazed out of one of the windows on an upper floor. He saw the ogre on the ground, his head in the alleyway. The Captain took this opportunity and aimed his ice magic above the shadowy monster, forming a multitude of very large, sharp icicles between the two buildings. He noted how the ogre was protecting his head, so he put some extra magic into making the group of icicles form a sort of u-shape to possibly hit more unprotected points. "Carrot-top!! You catching what I'm /dropping/?!" He called out to Jason, hoping he'd have something to knock them down when he finished.
" oh yeah Admiral! I think that give him more than a splitting headache! " The Orange hair guy hollered back, he put his crossbow back in its loader, Jason tuned the dial with one hand telling the machine what ammo he was wanting...
Ones it was done he turned his bike around again and did other pass by, he had pulled his crossbow up and had it ready, when he passed Jason fired his Bolt, it zip though the air turning red hot and about halfway the bolt spilt apart hitting the ice and multiple spots
"yeah that is pretty funny when you put it that way, and I got a dragons sword so it kinda makes a full circle in a way, what the odds in that?" Catch replied trying to keep the mood up to.
Crimson didn't say anything to the Nightmare joke, it was ironic but he didn't find it funny, but the red king wasn't the best at jokes and Social interactions. Crimson instead looked to their surroundings, a human world, it was so strange to the red king how could people live without magic? The world felt dead to him and yet people were living here, Somehow they were and they had strange things, he looked up at tall buildings " how did they do this without magic? It doesn't seem possible, what even their purpose? Humans can't fly so why are they so tall? Are they Towers for someone? " there was many possibilities that went though the red king mind as he gocked at the surroundings, there was poles with flashing lights that he didn't understand the meaning to, and then in the distance sometimes he spotted the metal monsters that held people in their mouths // there some kind of carriage or transport... // he remembered what Hiiro said about the vehicles, they were alien to him, and on top of everything there was so many sounds, he was thankful for his armor protection in this place that felt so wrong.
The closer they got to their destination the louder the sound got, smoke billowed and sigh of monsters were in the sky
// they got the ways in block off! It looks like local guards are not letting people in! // Anna called through telepathy
After getting his things and leaving the A-team, Terradream flies over the city, searching for anything. He doesn't notice the black speck of a bird following behind him from a distance, and gets distracted by the first thing he spots...
It's a shade the size of a horse, stalking the streets, searching for its next victim after already claiming the life of a man earlier. Not wanting to let that happen, Terra turns invisible so it won't see him, hopefully, and quietly lands on the roof of a building. He puts his bag of things down by some kind of metallic box thing, then heads over to the edge of the building. //Take a deep breath... Need a steady mind for steady aim...// Terra tells himself despite the fact he can't breathe, then speaks telepathically to his Fairfin. //I don't know what all these things can do, I can turn invisible, but that won't do me any good if it can sense magic, with or without the spell affecting it,// he explains, //Can you cautiously fly around it to test it? I'm going to get a little closer and try to take a shot.//
//Sir yes sir!// the invisible Sparky salutes, being able to sense where his partner is, then quickly goes to fly down to the shade. //I'll definitely be sure to be quiet too, you don't have to worry about that!//
Terra turns his eyes to watch his partner go, then carefully hops off the building, floating down a bit more stealthily...
Bubbles like having feet and figures to tickle with. He mimicked his friend in every way she moved, looking up at the sky and rolling over. The bubble blue wyvern tucked his arms close to himself like Purity did and spread out his wings just like her, he began to wiggle himself across the grass as he pulled and balanced himself with his wings " isss longsss " he thinks outloud, but his short attention span didn't stay on how long he was and how it was weird, he had been having fun with this form thanks to Purity and he wanted to keep having fun.
Bubbles stuck his tongue out and let it law out like a dog's, he quickened his pace and made his movement more exaggerated tossing his wings out more and wiggling himself so he looked more dramatic and goofy
Purity turns her head and neck at one point to look back at Bubbles, and she grins when she sees him catching up to her. "You're so silly, Bubbles! And so cute!" she laughs, "But you're moving! And you're moving pretty fast! I think... Race you to the house?"
It didn't take long for Rahab to finish off the shade he had targeted. The griffin let the monster drop and he whirled around to face the other foes. He was panting from exertion from all the magic he had spent so far, but he was hardly paying attention while his mind was set on protecting the griffins. Rahab quickly clasped his eagle talons together, summoning magic that rippled up his wings all the way to his feather tips. With a mix between a lion roar and eagle shriek, he gave his wings a heavy pump and swept a wave of bitter cold wind over his opponents. Any shades who failed to dodge or who were too weak would risk their wings and joints being frozen up by frost.
Many of the monsters were hit by the blast and did just that, the ice froze their wings and other parts of them, the ones who got hit were unable to stay in sky and fell with the inability to move if you're being completely Frozen or to heavy to stay in the air.
The male Vaseterm watch in awe as Rehab cast his spell, it was both dazzling and terrifying as he watched the shadows monsters being to freeze, he was very thankful to be on the ice Griffin side.
The Vaseterm look over his shoulder at the young injured Griffin " hay, im Tim, what your name?" He asked trying to keep her attention
"... L-ucy..." she replied weakly
" Lucy were going to take you somewhere safe ok" Tim dose his best to reassure the girl
Her older brother who looked pretty torn up but nowhere near as bad as his sister fly close to Tim keeping a close eye on his sister " were going to be ok Lulu, just hang in there "
" if the Vanguard are here they would set up camps as their second priority, we should get them to one " Tim turned his attention to Rehab
A small smile came to Fiona's face in return to Eira's, "Thanks. Every bit helps!" She said after the griffin shapeshifter made her gesture as well. The woman seemed to understand what both of them were doing, and she calmed down... At least a little more.
Fiona glanced around the room, just as conflicted as Eira was. There was so much happening--several medics were crowded around one of the more aggressive patients, trying to keep him under control, and nurses rushed to and fro, making it hard to tell who even needed help in some places... "What /do/ we do...? People need help here, and people need help out there..." She let out a frustrated grunt, wishing that they could just... /Split into multiple versions of themselves or something./ But suddenly, she noticed a multitude of the nurses heading in the same direction...
A new, large group of rather noisy people were being brought in--many of whom were the people who Eira had saved from the fire earlier. Fiona turned her gaze to the griffin shapeshifter, her eyes wide, "...I think we should help with /them!/" She started heading towards the group, while also making sure Eira and her stuck together.
As much as Dreameater is trying to avoid people, it becomes progressively more difficult, with traffic jams and panicking civilians, even the occasional fool wanting to see monsters... There's so many people everywhere... And hearing some scream as he runs past is incredibly distracting. //Focus... Focusss...// he thinks and growls to himself, trying to focus on chasing Anna's aura away from the people and listening to Crimson ramble. "... They... have their ways..." Eater hisses, slowing his pace some when Anna gives her warning, so they can have a bit more time to plan. "A-Anna says the way ahead is blocked by the local guards... How do we get through this... Without..." the Nightmare tries to ask, but ends up growling at the thought of a confrontation...
Dreamcatcher grimaced, this was definitely a problem // the last thing we need is to be on bad terms with the local guards, im sure anyone could look at Eater and see he a monster and Crimson... his armor is questionable// he finally pat his friend to get his attention " well figured out a other way, if we cannot go though maybe we can go over or around?" He then looks up to see what they could use.
" I would offer my true form but after last time... I already been having problems...." the red king mumbled, not wanting to fully admit he been struggling with his corruption.
" its fine Crimson, will fine a way to get over this without starting something with the local guards " Catch reply as he try to figure out this puzzle, There was Building with wires going across from one to other " hmmm, Weaver, can you get us higher? Maybe we can use those wires that are going across?"
With the icicles raining down on its more unprotected parts, paired with the fact that it's still stunned from the initial explosion on its head, the ogre lets out one last groan before passing out.
Boreas watched as their attack struck the ogre and it hit the ground with a 'THUD.' The Captain hopped down from the windowsill, slowing his descent as he neared the ground while also summoning his ham-axe.
For the briefest moment, he stopped. It hadn't been long since he'd discovered that Dreamers who had become Nightmares had more of a possibility to be saved... In the back of his mind, he wondered... How many other corrupt creatures could be purified?
However, in this case, he was very quick to return to his old Shadow Hunter ways. The Elemental's expression faded as he lifted up his weapon, and brought down a swift end to the monster.
When it appeared all the monsters were gone, Crystal hesitantly lowered her weapon, watching in the alley for a second before looking over at Christina. The girl observed the officer for a moment too, but when she motioned to progress forward, Crystal nodded and followed along into the darkened area.
Just when she thought they had gotten rid of everything, she was quickly proven wrong as another monster leapt out from behind the trash. The girl jumped and sucked in a gasp, but Christina handled it so quickly there was nothing she could do in time to help. She simply placed her free hand over her chest and let out that air she took in, replying with a small “Goodness.. I hope so. At least for now.”
She looked towards the fire escape and nodded once more as the officer spoke. Crystal then glanced around a bit while Christina worked to get the ladder down, making sure no surprises could sneak up on them. Though upon observing their surroundings, her brows furrowed when she saw something.. she almost would have missed it if it wasn’t for the eyes. She got a weird feeling about it, but she honestly couldn’t tell if it was just her or not.. Crystal remained mindful of it, but made no move to get closer. Instead, she starred at it for the time being, then soon glanced back to the fire escape now that the ladder was down, “Given what the name implies, do people really use these to escape fires?”
(I'm also in that club--I think Winter's my favorite season. It's nice to not have any bugs and be able to snuggle under blankets without getting too hot!
Autumn's a close second though! The leaves are so pretty, and it's prime time for pumpkin stuff. X3
Glad you've been doing well, Galaxy! I hope you can get some good rest, too!)
(Ooh yeah, Winter is definitely my next favorite, and for the same reasons. Plus ~holidays~, and I can wear my sweaters and jeans all the time with no funny looks because it's not above 70 degrees out. xD)
" I don't know, I'm not sure how things work in this world, I don't even know what there for" Catch admitted and Frowned looking up at the odd wires, he wondered what they were for.
Crimson tips his head, first looking up at the wires and then the rest of their surrounding and assessing their options " personally we don't know what those Vines are too and like what Eater, I don't think they hold our weight, not all on Eater, at least I don't think they could " the red prince then put his hand out, he turned it as he closes his hand into a fist, he granted " dam, this world..." he shook his head with frustration " I was seeing if I could manipulate the earth here but there nothing here, no magic in the earth at all, I can't use it here... but I can make magic with my crystal, I just need to be in contact to form them" with that Crimson went to get down off of the Nightmare but Dreamcatcher stop him by holding his shoulder.
Catch grimaced for a moment " for now I think it be better if you stay on Weaver until we get inside "
"WHAT THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" Crimson snap back
" easy Crimson!" Catch held up his hands " we need to focus on getting inside, yelling at each other not going to help "
" it not like you done anything to help or even bring up anything useful, I get why Eater wants you around but from what I can tell you're not very helpful in these things so you might as well shut up " the red prince replied looking over his shoulder.
-
The way Crimson helmet distorted his voice only added more tension to the red prince insult, Catch did pause for a moment, his own doubts were slowly creeping back "no, I'm not " // not this time // he thought for a moment // Crimson Crystal make magic?... when they were taken over the palace they were absorbing it, im guessing it could do both then? I wonder how much control he has over it or if this could even be possible with him // " hay Crimson, your crystal, they can absorb magic to right? It might sound stupid, but I won't know unless I ask, is there a way to fuse magic? If I use my bow to fire arrows at the building and if you could Crystallized them? Maybe see about making stairs that Weaver could jump across?"
At first the red prince wasn't going to take the Dreamer seriously but as he went on to explain his idea it got his own mind working, Crimson turned to look at the building that Catch was pointing out and a path they would make if it was possible "...hmm, It might work " he replied bluntly putting his hand to his chinn// maybe he not as dumb as he seems but one good idea dosen't means he clever// " my crystal only need to be in contact or close enough to magic.... with how this world is your bow, I'm assuming the summoned one will be the only magic in the area, It be easy to fuse with it as there nothing here to get in the way "
Christina dusted off her hands and then look over to the human girl, then looked to the fire escape " well yeah" she started and did a quick summary seen Crystal was obviously from another world " if the buildings on fire it other way out and down from the higher floors, otherwise the fire could trap people on the upper floor with no way to get out so they a invented fire escapes as other option In those times, but there a good way to travel up and down taller buildings to " she then started to leave the way climbing up the ladder.
Another black bird was sitting on the railing close to the ladder, the only thing that moved on it was its head as it followed Crystal, not even paying attention to the pink officer
Christina stopped when she got closer to this bird and how it was odd for it to be in a dark alleyway but mostly how it was starting at the human girl, it didn't seem normal, she wiggled her fins but couldn't since anything from it // ughhhh! I hate whatever this spell is it messing with my since so much! I don't want to just shoot some bird and it wasn't a dark creatures but this thing doesn't seem normal...// for now she wasn't going to do anything, this bird wasn't forced on her but Crystal but why? She didn't know so for now she keep an eye on the bird and the human girl.
As Christina got closer to the top she held herself closer to the ladder as Shadows flew over head, more monsters were on their way to her partner and the people holding up at the pet store// we need to stop whatever calling them// she tells herself as she goes a little higher to the edge of the building, she peeks over it and takes in the surrounding, it an average business Rooftops, mostly flat after the dip down, with some pipes, some going vertical as some going horizontal, there were big metal boxes most likely air conditioners scattered here and there and a billboard sign, it was their that the monster was hiding, it was about human size but definitely not human shape, it had a bigger upper body that looked more like an octopus that was upside down, at the tips of its tentacles were eyes looking around, it peek them around the billboard as it watch the flying monsters make their attack on the people. The rest of the monster was more shaped like a spider but it held its long legs underneath itself like table legs, giving it a tall and slim look but overall creepy. That wasn't all she spotted that this monster also had dog size guards close by it.
// What the heck is that thing?!// Christina thinks wide eyes at the monster, she didn't didn't linger for long and sigh for Crystal to go to one of the lower floors so they could plan this out better
//Anna... Anna, help me keep a look out, where's a spot with the fewest people?// Dreameater had asked Rihanna through telepathy before carefully trying to search for such a place himself. By this point, he's not even running anymore, having slowed down to more of a trot--especially after Crimson nearly moved to get off. He growls quietly at some of the king's comments, and mutters, "Watch yourself, Crimson..."
While Eater goes quiet after that growl, Morning Glory/Hope looks back at her parnter's friends. Weakly, she smiles at Catch and says, "I think that's a great idea, Catch..."
Jason brought his bike back around, he stopped and waited for Boreas to end it but was ready if he was needed for backup.
" you really gave him the ax!" The Orange hair boy teased, but it wouldn't last long as gun shots went off behind them as more flying monsters were attacking " look like celebrations going to have to wait Admiral!"
With Jason's comments, Boreas's seemingly emotionless state didn't last very long. Still, he simply nodded in agreement with the boy's assessment, "We've got a long way to go--let's see what else we're dealing with!"
The icy Elemental flew over the ogre they'd slain and towards the people firing shots at the airborne monsters. He hovered low to the ground, so as to not accidentally end up in the line of fire.
Eira looked up from her pondering as well when the storm of new patients came in, and she recognized them as the people she had saved from the fire. She gave Fiona a hurried nod and rushed over with her to assist the crowd. The shifter found herself nearest to a younger female who seemed shaky and nervous but quiet. Eira extended a hand and smiled, trying to show kindness without saying it, since they didn't speak the same language and Eira didn't want to spook her by sounding like some babbling foreign alien. Thankfully, the young woman cautiously took Eira's hand, and the griffin shifter led her to a patient bed where she laid her down and began to examine her burns and bruises. //Hmm... What if I could reduce her burns myself?// The shiftress held a hand over the girl's burned knee, and she focused on releasing just a bit of ice magic. After a second, ice appeared as frost on her palm, swirling and flowering outwards over her skin as she laid her hand on the girl's knee. The civilian gasped, then settled back, surprised but relieved by the cool touch.
Crystal listened to Christina’s explanation on what the purpose of a Fire Escape was, taking a second to think about it before saying, “Out of everything new I’ve seen in these worlds, this one makes the most sense to me.”
Now that their way to the roof was accessible and ready to use, she released her mental grip on her weapon and let it dissolve away, the used arrows doing the same as she began her way up the ladder too.
Crystal paused when the officer came to a halt, about to ask if everything was okay when she looked over and saw the next bird. She then grimaced, being able to see it a bit better didn’t help her uneasiness about it any. She didn’t like how still it was or the way it watched them, or.. at least how it watched her.
The girl continued to follow upward, but came to a stop again as Christina took an assessment of the roof. She watched closely, waiting for their next move, and when she saw the signal the officer gave she moved back down to the lower platform. “..What’s up there? Could you see what’s calling the other monsters?” Crystal questioned a bit quietly, her expression worried.
Fiona watched Eira briefly, then joined a group of nurses in helping wounded civillians to cots--even if they had to seat some together, as there were few completely empty spaces remaining. All the while she went, she used her charade language to help keep people calm. Plenty of understanding smiles and thumbs-ups were given. Until she was met with a rather upset man who looked like he'd ended up in a fight and wasn't taking help very well... Especially not from her. Of course, he didn't trust any of the magical creatures, but... He kept calling her a 'crazy punk with mile-long hair,' which she /really didn't like./ (She could only understand this thanks to her link with Glory.)
Despite her frustration, the Elemental still did what she could, holding her hands up in front of her to show that they meant no harm and trying to motion to a bed... She tried reaching out once, but was slapped away. In a final effort, she took out the bandage roll she'd picked up and jerked it, pulling some out and showing him what they wanted to do. ...He still seemed frustrated himself, but actually settled down a little after everything, looking to his injuries and grimacing... So Fiona took a chance, stepped forward and gave a firm nod of affirmation before starting to treat his wounds while he stood. He still wouldn't allow the other medics close with most of their alien appearances, but Fiona cleaned and treated his scars the best she could, accepting towels, medication, and instruction from a nearby manticore humanoid nurse.
(I'm really out of it, I don't feel so good, so I think I'm gonna end up going to bed early tonight 'XS I didn't sleep well last night, and I think that's what's making me feel eh today
I'm glad those projects are fun, Fade! I'm kinda curious what they are, if you wouldn't mind sharing 'X3 Are they art projects or something?)
Anna did her best to fine the place with the least amount of people // I don't like how he treats Cat // she flash a orange color but when the red king seem to work with her little brother she to calm down.
Crimson took note on Eater yet again getting aggressive when he was picking in the Dreamer prince, add more and more to maybe, maybe what they were saying about the Nightmare was true but it wasn't something he wanted to think about... thankfully Dreamcatcher had moved the topic and actually came up with a possible plan " give me an arrow " he asked holding out a hand Dreamcatcher did just that, he summon arrow and give it to Crimson, the red king held it and look down at the silvery white and gold shaft, he gripe his hands around it and the arrow started to be covered with blue crystal, a light blue glow faintly illuminated from the crystal and then it dissolved in Crimson hands, even his bracelets had a glow to them, the light glow now halo him for a moment as he held his hands open with the last of the dancing lights, one's he stopped glowing Crimson rubbed his bracelets, they didn't hurt but he did feel something he hadn't before// His magic?...is it because he a moon blood?// the king flexed his fingers as he assimilated the magic that he was given. it was different from the dark creatures he was used to, he had felt healthy magic from the environment of worlds in light but he rarely did from others and the most he did was Crystal in her song that he grew to enjoy, he didn't understand her words but he felt something in them and in her magic, looking back it really seemed like day and night but he couldn't see it, all he knew was the darkness even though he believed he was doing good, it wasn't what was right and it wasn't for true good reasons but now he was understanding their was more.
Crimson started at his hands for a moment, he felt it, the darkness inside him clawing in the back of his mind but he has hope now " im ready, you just get into Position and fire when ready and I'll take care of my part "
Catch was watching Crimson and what he did with his Arrow // whoa, so he can still do that with both bracelets on....// he was curious on how this was going to work and there was only one way to find out. Dreamcatcher summon his bow and took aim, as he draw back his bow he felt the sting in his right hand, pulling back the bow itself wasn't really the problem, it was made of magic and that was the problem... Catch was reminded about his injured hand and using his bow took both hands and magic from both// Just got to do enough to get to the top // he did his best not to show his discomfort, it wasn't to bad at the moment but he didn't want to over do it ether. Crimson let Catch draw his bow and summon an arrow, he held one hand out close to the Arrow and a bit of crystal form on it " fire whenever "
Catch did just that, he let lose his bow string and his Arrow flashed with a light blue flame, it zip and hit the wall were Catch was aiming for and they Crimson rise his other hand, the Arrow busted and rapidly formed into a blue crystal that keep growing until the one who was controlling it stopped it, with it looked big enough for Eater to stand on " are you going to fire again or just stare? "
" what? Oh yeah!" Catch fire again and then again, repeating the same thing of Arrow and Crystals
After a while the Dreamer prince was starting to feel the effects in his right hand more and more, he was close to being done but had to stop and shake his right hand that was going numb
Oh no, I'm sorry Lilly :'s I hope you get some good rest and catch up on your sleep!
Sure thing! They are art projects, most of which are for the company my friends have started up and are working on. They're about to start making real content, so it's exciting to be able to be a part of the process and prep x') They have mainly an entertainment production, producing D&D podcasts, streams, and books on the world. The dragon WIP I shared is part of the art for the book! They've been working hard to launch everything, so I've been doing my best to contribute with the time that I have. So yeah)
( Lilly you can head to bed if you like, if you're feeling sick you shouldn't make yourself feel worse by trying to stay up. You get some good rest :) )
After cooling down the young lady's burn and treating the other burns and bruises with her cool touch, Eira bandaged the worst of her scratches then gave her a kind pat on the arm, letting her know that she was done. As she brushed her hands off, the shiftress turned to investigate the room and spot where else she was needed. She saw Fiona rather quickly, mainly hearing the dude she was helping as he was protesting and resisting healing. //She has a lot more patience than I do to deal with that guy... She seems to be doing a good job, though.// Sjnce that situation seemed wrangled at last, she approached another table where a patient was just sitting there and waiting for someone to help him. Eira leaned in front of him to catch his gaze, and she waved in the friendliest gesture she could. His face was solemn and pale, probably shaken after all he had seen, but her human disguise seemed to be somewhat calming to him. She wasn't nearly as shocking as a lot of the more magical and creature-esque nurses around. Once there seemed to be some kind of trust acknowledged, Eira got to work cooling his burns and treating him with salves and bandages.
...It was both awkward and relieving to not be able to talk to her patient. For one, she couldn't communicate or make conversation with the spooked guy, so it was awkward trying to play charades with him to get him to roll up his sleeves and all. But not talking meant she didn't have to answer two dozens questions of /what on earth happened to this city/ and whatever else people would go on about if they could be understood. //Hopefully a translator will be able to answer everyone's questions, eventually...//
Ones on the platform with Crystal, Christina took a breath to collect herself " im not even sure how to explain what I seen, but im sure that monster the one calling the others, I haven't seen a dark creature like it before, not even in the books" she rises her hand to about the Heights " its about this tall, it top half has dozens of tentacles with eyes on them and it's middle half had mouths, all around it's abdomen, and it's legs were long and remained me of a spider " she shuttered at the thought of the grotesque monster " im sure it the one, it was hiding behind the billboard up there and using its tentacles to peek around it, it's no wonder we couldn't see anything from that distance" she closed her fist, she was mad but anger wasn't going to do them any good so she push it aside and kneel down, she draw out indivisible map of what she could see on the Rooftop and gave details on their placements, the piping, air conditioners and the other monsters she could see.
" now the problem is how to not let that thing see us and how do we get closer to it to take it down " Christina tape the floor, they only had the ladder to go up and she guessed that thing would see them as soon as they hop over the edge
Once she finished bandaging up the tense civillian, Fiona gave him a pat on the back, avoiding his injuries. Most of the other nurses who had been attempting to assist her with him had moved on to other patients--not only were they treating others who needed it, but less strangers also meant better luck with this individual. The manticore humanoid tried to get a little closer, but he made it very clear he still wouldn't be trusting her by stepping back and muttering a few choice words. Fiona gave him an unhappy look, but reminded herself, //The humans here don't even allow swords or know what a lot of us are--something as crazy as this has gotta be EXTRA tough!//
She turned her expression to a partial smile and stepped forward in front of the man, letting the nurse know that she could leave this to her. Then she motioned to the civillian to follow her as she tried to use herself to help clear a path to let him through--it was disruptful, but they soon arrived at a cot with another person sitting there. The Elemental still had to work a little more with dramatic charades, but with some help from the other patient, they eventually got him to sit down. He wasn't even that angry anymore, just greatly distressed as he hunched over.
//Whew, finally... ...I wish I could do more... It looks like he got really messed up...// She gave another small smile and a much slower thumbs up in thanks to the both of them, then eventually turned to see who else might need help. She stood on her toes and eventually spotted Eira using her magic to help other patients...
(I fell asleep by accident like 2 hours ago and just woke up sometime in the last 30 minutes. I guess the sleep already came for me, but hopefully it comes back xD)
(Ahhh, I hope it comes back for you too Galaxy! That's rough. ;w;
Yeee, it's already past midnight over here. It might be a good time to call it a night. At the moment, I'm fairly certain I'll be free then! Most Sundays I am.)

As her arrow went down the alley, Crystal lowered her Bow to see what was ahead of them, only to quickly bring it back up as she saw the glimpses of the monsters in hiding.
She stepped over to give Christina room with her gun as she saw the officer raise it, and to get a better aim for herself too. Crystal couldn’t help but yet again tense up when the loud weapon was fired, though she pushed through and soon formed another more normal arrow, quickly pulling back and aiming at one of the advancing monsters, ‘I really don’t like this part..’ she thought before releasing it and preparing for the next
02 May, 2021, 7:33 pm
Between the two girls the monsters were swiftly dealt with.
Christina he loaded her Glock with a fresh clip, though these shades were dealt with she wasn't going to let down her guard, these characters had already set up a trap and she didn't know what else they could do.
The officer signal with one hand that she was going to move forward, she checked the alleyway one more time before going in, moving quickly but cautiously checking around garbage and it was a good thing to because as she turned to check around one of the dumpsters a shade was waiting, it lunged at her but she was ready, she fired her pistol until the monsters stop moving // these things are sneaky but predictable...still I cannot let down my guard //after taking a few breaths and reloading her weapon.
" ok, I think that all of them " she breath out, she moved over to were the firescape was " cover me as I get this down " she said and up her gun away for a moment, the ladder was in the upright position so she jumped and grabbed a hold of the bottom rall and with a good tug the ladder came loose and dropped down.
All the while this was going on, a black bird with an odd red making landed on a nearby trash can, it tip its head staring at Crystal with its red eyes

Eira gave Fiona an encouraging smile after the punk-rock-looking Elemental did her best to show her support to their patient. "I think you're doing a wonderful job. You're making it clear that you're here to help, so they have nothing to fear." She gave the woman a thumbs-up as well, not as cool as Fiona's but still as enthusiastic as she could muster.
After they were finished, Eira turned and looked around the room in case there were others who needed help. "Okay... A lot of stuff going on... Do we look for more things to contribute here, or do we go back outside?" she wondered aloud, trying to assess what would be most helpful. With so much going on, and so many lives on the line, it was hard to tell what the best choice was. People were dying everywhere, and there's only a few heroes to help... There's a lot of shots to call, and Eira was really thinking hard about which ones were right.
"I guess... So long as we're doing /something,/ then we're not doing /nothing,/ and that makes a difference. What do you say we do next, Fiona?" the shiftress asked, turning to the Elemental.

Boreas gazed out of one of the windows on an upper floor. He saw the ogre on the ground, his head in the alleyway. The Captain took this opportunity and aimed his ice magic above the shadowy monster, forming a multitude of very large, sharp icicles between the two buildings. He noted how the ogre was protecting his head, so he put some extra magic into making the group of icicles form a sort of u-shape to possibly hit more unprotected points.
"Carrot-top!! You catching what I'm /dropping/?!" He called out to Jason, hoping he'd have something to knock them down when he finished.
02 May, 2021, 7:38 pm
" oh yeah Admiral! I think that give him more than a splitting headache! " The Orange hair guy hollered back, he put his crossbow back in its loader, Jason tuned the dial with one hand telling the machine what ammo he was wanting...
Ones it was done he turned his bike around again and did other pass by, he had pulled his crossbow up and had it ready, when he passed Jason fired his Bolt, it zip though the air turning red hot and about halfway the bolt spilt apart hitting the ice and multiple spots

"yeah that is pretty funny when you put it that way, and I got a dragons sword so it kinda makes a full circle in a way, what the odds in that?" Catch replied trying to keep the mood up to.
Crimson didn't say anything to the Nightmare joke, it was ironic but he didn't find it funny, but the red king wasn't the best at jokes and Social interactions. Crimson instead looked to their surroundings, a human world, it was so strange to the red king how could people live without magic? The world felt dead to him and yet people were living here, Somehow they were and they had strange things, he looked up at tall buildings " how did they do this without magic? It doesn't seem possible, what even their purpose? Humans can't fly so why are they so tall? Are they Towers for someone? " there was many possibilities that went though the red king mind as he gocked at the surroundings, there was poles with flashing lights that he didn't understand the meaning to, and then in the distance sometimes he spotted the metal monsters that held people in their mouths // there some kind of carriage or transport... // he remembered what Hiiro said about the vehicles, they were alien to him, and on top of everything there was so many sounds, he was thankful for his armor protection in this place that felt so wrong.
The closer they got to their destination the louder the sound got, smoke billowed and sigh of monsters were in the sky
// they got the ways in block off! It looks like local guards are not letting people in! // Anna called through telepathy
02 May, 2021, 7:40 pm
After getting his things and leaving the A-team, Terradream flies over the city, searching for anything. He doesn't notice the black speck of a bird following behind him from a distance, and gets distracted by the first thing he spots...
It's a shade the size of a horse, stalking the streets, searching for its next victim after already claiming the life of a man earlier. Not wanting to let that happen, Terra turns invisible so it won't see him, hopefully, and quietly lands on the roof of a building. He puts his bag of things down by some kind of metallic box thing, then heads over to the edge of the building. //Take a deep breath... Need a steady mind for steady aim...// Terra tells himself despite the fact he can't breathe, then speaks telepathically to his Fairfin. //I don't know what all these things can do, I can turn invisible, but that won't do me any good if it can sense magic, with or without the spell affecting it,// he explains, //Can you cautiously fly around it to test it? I'm going to get a little closer and try to take a shot.//
//Sir yes sir!// the invisible Sparky salutes, being able to sense where his partner is, then quickly goes to fly down to the shade. //I'll definitely be sure to be quiet too, you don't have to worry about that!//
Terra turns his eyes to watch his partner go, then carefully hops off the building, floating down a bit more stealthily...

Bubbles like having feet and figures to tickle with. He mimicked his friend in every way she moved, looking up at the sky and rolling over.
The bubble blue wyvern tucked his arms close to himself like Purity did and spread out his wings just like her, he began to wiggle himself across the grass as he pulled and balanced himself with his wings " isss longsss " he thinks outloud, but his short attention span didn't stay on how long he was and how it was weird, he had been having fun with this form thanks to Purity and he wanted to keep having fun.
Bubbles stuck his tongue out and let it law out like a dog's, he quickened his pace and made his movement more exaggerated tossing his wings out more and wiggling himself so he looked more dramatic and goofy
02 May, 2021, 7:41 pm
Purity turns her head and neck at one point to look back at Bubbles, and she grins when she sees him catching up to her. "You're so silly, Bubbles! And so cute!" she laughs, "But you're moving! And you're moving pretty fast! I think... Race you to the house?"
02 May, 2021, 7:44 pm
It didn't take long for Rahab to finish off the shade he had targeted. The griffin let the monster drop and he whirled around to face the other foes. He was panting from exertion from all the magic he had spent so far, but he was hardly paying attention while his mind was set on protecting the griffins.
Rahab quickly clasped his eagle talons together, summoning magic that rippled up his wings all the way to his feather tips. With a mix between a lion roar and eagle shriek, he gave his wings a heavy pump and swept a wave of bitter cold wind over his opponents. Any shades who failed to dodge or who were too weak would risk their wings and joints being frozen up by frost.
02 May, 2021, 7:45 pm
Many of the monsters were hit by the blast and did just that, the ice froze their wings and other parts of them, the ones who got hit were unable to stay in sky and fell with the inability to move if you're being completely Frozen or to heavy to stay in the air.
The male Vaseterm watch in awe as Rehab cast his spell, it was both dazzling and terrifying as he watched the shadows monsters being to freeze, he was very thankful to be on the ice Griffin side.
The Vaseterm look over his shoulder at the young injured Griffin " hay, im Tim, what your name?" He asked trying to keep her attention
"... L-ucy..." she replied weakly
" Lucy were going to take you somewhere safe ok" Tim dose his best to reassure the girl
Her older brother who looked pretty torn up but nowhere near as bad as his sister fly close to Tim keeping a close eye on his sister " were going to be ok Lulu, just hang in there "
" if the Vanguard are here they would set up camps as their second priority, we should get them to one " Tim turned his attention to Rehab

A small smile came to Fiona's face in return to Eira's, "Thanks. Every bit helps!" She said after the griffin shapeshifter made her gesture as well.
The woman seemed to understand what both of them were doing, and she calmed down... At least a little more.
Fiona glanced around the room, just as conflicted as Eira was. There was so much happening--several medics were crowded around one of the more aggressive patients, trying to keep him under control, and nurses rushed to and fro, making it hard to tell who even needed help in some places... "What /do/ we do...? People need help here, and people need help out there..." She let out a frustrated grunt, wishing that they could just... /Split into multiple versions of themselves or something./ But suddenly, she noticed a multitude of the nurses heading in the same direction...
A new, large group of rather noisy people were being brought in--many of whom were the people who Eira had saved from the fire earlier. Fiona turned her gaze to the griffin shapeshifter, her eyes wide, "...I think we should help with /them!/" She started heading towards the group, while also making sure Eira and her stuck together.

(Hallo and good morning!
...This cover makes me 'HHMMMMMMMMM.')
02 May, 2021, 7:53 pm
As much as Dreameater is trying to avoid people, it becomes progressively more difficult, with traffic jams and panicking civilians, even the occasional fool wanting to see monsters... There's so many people everywhere... And hearing some scream as he runs past is incredibly distracting. //Focus... Focusss...// he thinks and growls to himself, trying to focus on chasing Anna's aura away from the people and listening to Crimson ramble. "... They... have their ways..." Eater hisses, slowing his pace some when Anna gives her warning, so they can have a bit more time to plan. "A-Anna says the way ahead is blocked by the local guards... How do we get through this... Without..." the Nightmare tries to ask, but ends up growling at the thought of a confrontation...
02 May, 2021, 7:56 pm
(Hallo! I'm sleepy now X'D )
02 May, 2021, 7:58 pm
( I would ask how you all are doing but I see already xD
At least with Lilly x'DD
How are all you?)
02 May, 2021, 8:05 pm
(I'm doing good! It's super warm out today, but it's not too bad indoors, thankfully. -v-
...I see how Lilly's doing as well, so... How're you, Shadow, and whoever else may be watching?)
02 May, 2021, 8:16 pm
( oof, summer is on its way -.-
At least it not to bad inside ^-^
I had a NAP! I'm doing much better today then yesterday, yesterday after seeing my Grandma I had a few break downs, but im doing good now ^-^ )
02 May, 2021, 8:27 pm
Dreamcatcher grimaced, this was definitely a problem // the last thing we need is to be on bad terms with the local guards, im sure anyone could look at Eater and see he a monster and Crimson... his armor is questionable// he finally pat his friend to get his attention " well figured out a other way, if we cannot go though maybe we can go over or around?" He then looks up to see what they could use.
" I would offer my true form but after last time... I already been having problems...." the red king mumbled, not wanting to fully admit he been struggling with his corruption.
" its fine Crimson, will fine a way to get over this without starting something with the local guards " Catch reply as he try to figure out this puzzle, There was Building with wires going across from one to other " hmmm, Weaver, can you get us higher? Maybe we can use those wires that are going across?"
02 May, 2021, 8:39 pm
It was on now, Bubbles continue to flare his head and wings about as he continued to run/pull/slide? Whatever you want to call his goofy movement
02 May, 2021, 8:39 pm
With the icicles raining down on its more unprotected parts, paired with the fact that it's still stunned from the initial explosion on its head, the ogre lets out one last groan before passing out.
02 May, 2021, 8:46 pm
(The way they swapped the add comment button and report button is really throwing me off too X'D )
02 May, 2021, 9:15 pm
(Same here, same here x'D )
02 May, 2021, 9:23 pm
Boreas watched as their attack struck the ogre and it hit the ground with a 'THUD.' The Captain hopped down from the windowsill, slowing his descent as he neared the ground while also summoning his ham-axe.
For the briefest moment, he stopped. It hadn't been long since he'd discovered that Dreamers who had become Nightmares had more of a possibility to be saved... In the back of his mind, he wondered... How many other corrupt creatures could be purified?
However, in this case, he was very quick to return to his old Shadow Hunter ways. The Elemental's expression faded as he lifted up his weapon, and brought down a swift end to the monster.
02 May, 2021, 9:24 pm
(/It's all report now./)
02 May, 2021, 9:24 pm
(A bit late to this, but eeee it's hot here too. I'm not ready for summer..
But beside that, Hiya everyone! x3 Glad to see y'all are doing alright.
And also yes, the buttons almost got me as well. Twice.)
02 May, 2021, 9:27 pm
(Hey Galaxy! Ahhhh, I'm not ready either! The hot weather can wait. ;w;
How're you doing?)
02 May, 2021, 9:32 pm
,( HI GALAXY!! :D
it getting toasty everywhere -w-
Summer my lease favorite season because everything HOT or on FIRE, I get the feeling it going to be a warm one to.
The button is an oof, it going to take me a while to get used to it x'D
I ask the same as Fluffy! How you doing? )
02 May, 2021, 9:37 pm
When it appeared all the monsters were gone, Crystal hesitantly lowered her weapon, watching in the alley for a second before looking over at Christina. The girl observed the officer for a moment too, but when she motioned to progress forward, Crystal nodded and followed along into the darkened area.
Just when she thought they had gotten rid of everything, she was quickly proven wrong as another monster leapt out from behind the trash. The girl jumped and sucked in a gasp, but Christina handled it so quickly there was nothing she could do in time to help. She simply placed her free hand over her chest and let out that air she took in, replying with a small “Goodness.. I hope so. At least for now.”
She looked towards the fire escape and nodded once more as the officer spoke. Crystal then glanced around a bit while Christina worked to get the ladder down, making sure no surprises could sneak up on them. Though upon observing their surroundings, her brows furrowed when she saw something.. she almost would have missed it if it wasn’t for the eyes. She got a weird feeling about it, but she honestly couldn’t tell if it was just her or not.. Crystal remained mindful of it, but made no move to get closer. Instead, she starred at it for the time being, then soon glanced back to the fire escape now that the ladder was down, “Given what the name implies, do people really use these to escape fires?”
02 May, 2021, 9:47 pm
(I think summer should wait too XD Summer’s my least favorite season as well.. I’m more of an Autumn kind of gal~
And ah, I’m good! Been super sleepy this week, but still pretty good anyway. :3)
02 May, 2021, 10:02 pm
( I am with you on that! But we got to get though summer to get to Autumn.
That good to hear! Hopefully you get some good rest in ^-^ Eeee! I'm happy! )
02 May, 2021, 10:07 pm
(I'm also in that club--I think Winter's my favorite season. It's nice to not have any bugs and be able to snuggle under blankets without getting too hot!
Autumn's a close second though! The leaves are so pretty, and it's prime time for pumpkin stuff. X3
Glad you've been doing well, Galaxy! I hope you can get some good rest, too!)
02 May, 2021, 10:31 pm
(Ooh yeah, Winter is definitely my next favorite, and for the same reasons. Plus ~holidays~, and I can wear my sweaters and jeans all the time with no funny looks because it's not above 70 degrees out. xD)
02 May, 2021, 10:34 pm
" I don't know, I'm not sure how things work in this world, I don't even know what there for" Catch admitted and Frowned looking up at the odd wires, he wondered what they were for.
Crimson tips his head, first looking up at the wires and then the rest of their surrounding and assessing their options " personally we don't know what those Vines are too and like what Eater, I don't think they hold our weight, not all on Eater, at least I don't think they could " the red prince then put his hand out, he turned it as he closes his hand into a fist, he granted " dam, this world..." he shook his head with frustration " I was seeing if I could manipulate the earth here but there nothing here, no magic in the earth at all, I can't use it here... but I can make magic with my crystal, I just need to be in contact to form them" with that Crimson went to get down off of the Nightmare but Dreamcatcher stop him by holding his shoulder.
Catch grimaced for a moment " for now I think it be better if you stay on Weaver until we get inside "
"WHAT THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" Crimson snap back
" easy Crimson!" Catch held up his hands " we need to focus on getting inside, yelling at each other not going to help "
" it not like you done anything to help or even bring up anything useful, I get why Eater wants you around but from what I can tell you're not very helpful in these things so you might as well shut up " the red prince replied looking over his shoulder.
-
The way Crimson helmet distorted his voice only added more tension to the red prince insult, Catch did pause for a moment, his own doubts were slowly creeping back "no, I'm not " // not this time // he thought for a moment // Crimson Crystal make magic?... when they were taken over the palace they were absorbing it, im guessing it could do both then? I wonder how much control he has over it or if this could even be possible with him // " hay Crimson, your crystal, they can absorb magic to right? It might sound stupid, but I won't know unless I ask, is there a way to fuse magic? If I use my bow to fire arrows at the building and if you could Crystallized them? Maybe see about making stairs that Weaver could jump across?"
At first the red prince wasn't going to take the Dreamer seriously but as he went on to explain his idea it got his own mind working, Crimson turned to look at the building that Catch was pointing out and a path they would make if it was possible "...hmm, It might work " he replied bluntly putting his hand to his chinn// maybe he not as dumb as he seems but one good idea dosen't means he clever// " my crystal only need to be in contact or close enough to magic.... with how this world is your bow, I'm assuming the summoned one will be the only magic in the area, It be easy to fuse with it as there nothing here to get in the way "
02 May, 2021, 10:36 pm
( sweaters and jeans weather is my favorite season xD )
02 May, 2021, 10:40 pm
(Yes! Holidays are a lot of fun!
And sweater and jeans weather is also a really great season. X'D)
02 May, 2021, 11:36 pm
(I'm back! Hi there Galaxy! :D
Also yes, I hate summer, I hate the heat, I'm most definitely a snow miser X'D I'm happy to see you've been doing good too! ^-^ )
03 May, 2021, 12:04 am
(Lol, Welcome back, Lilly!)
03 May, 2021, 12:18 am
(Thank you! :3 )
03 May, 2021, 12:18 am
(Let me just nearly report the picture again X'D )
03 May, 2021, 12:19 am
Christina dusted off her hands and then look over to the human girl, then looked to the fire escape " well yeah" she started and did a quick summary seen Crystal was obviously from another world " if the buildings on fire it other way out and down from the higher floors, otherwise the fire could trap people on the upper floor with no way to get out so they a invented fire escapes as other option In those times, but there a good way to travel up and down taller buildings to " she then started to leave the way climbing up the ladder.
Another black bird was sitting on the railing close to the ladder, the only thing that moved on it was its head as it followed Crystal, not even paying attention to the pink officer
Christina stopped when she got closer to this bird and how it was odd for it to be in a dark alleyway but mostly how it was starting at the human girl, it didn't seem normal, she wiggled her fins but couldn't since anything from it // ughhhh! I hate whatever this spell is it messing with my since so much! I don't want to just shoot some bird and it wasn't a dark creatures but this thing doesn't seem normal...// for now she wasn't going to do anything, this bird wasn't forced on her but Crystal but why? She didn't know so for now she keep an eye on the bird and the human girl.
As Christina got closer to the top she held herself closer to the ladder as Shadows flew over head, more monsters were on their way to her partner and the people holding up at the pet store// we need to stop whatever calling them// she tells herself as she goes a little higher to the edge of the building, she peeks over it and takes in the surrounding, it an average business Rooftops, mostly flat after the dip down, with some pipes, some going vertical as some going horizontal, there were big metal boxes most likely air conditioners scattered here and there and a billboard sign, it was their that the monster was hiding, it was about human size but definitely not human shape, it had a bigger upper body that looked more like an octopus that was upside down, at the tips of its tentacles were eyes looking around, it peek them around the billboard as it watch the flying monsters make their attack on the people. The rest of the monster was more shaped like a spider but it held its long legs underneath itself like table legs, giving it a tall and slim look but overall creepy. That wasn't all she spotted that this monster also had dog size guards close by it.
// What the heck is that thing?!// Christina thinks wide eyes at the monster, she didn't didn't linger for long and sigh for Crystal to go to one of the lower floors so they could plan this out better
03 May, 2021, 12:20 am
( welcome back Lilly! :D)
03 May, 2021, 12:20 am
( haha I think that just going to be a thing for a while x'D )
03 May, 2021, 12:24 am
//Anna... Anna, help me keep a look out, where's a spot with the fewest people?// Dreameater had asked Rihanna through telepathy before carefully trying to search for such a place himself. By this point, he's not even running anymore, having slowed down to more of a trot--especially after Crimson nearly moved to get off. He growls quietly at some of the king's comments, and mutters, "Watch yourself, Crimson..."
While Eater goes quiet after that growl, Morning Glory/Hope looks back at her parnter's friends. Weakly, she smiles at Catch and says, "I think that's a great idea, Catch..."
03 May, 2021, 12:46 am
Jason brought his bike back around, he stopped and waited for Boreas to end it but was ready if he was needed for backup.
" you really gave him the ax!" The Orange hair boy teased, but it wouldn't last long as gun shots went off behind them as more flying monsters were attacking " look like celebrations going to have to wait Admiral!"
03 May, 2021, 1:23 am
With Jason's comments, Boreas's seemingly emotionless state didn't last very long. Still, he simply nodded in agreement with the boy's assessment, "We've got a long way to go--let's see what else we're dealing with!"
The icy Elemental flew over the ogre they'd slain and towards the people firing shots at the airborne monsters. He hovered low to the ground, so as to not accidentally end up in the line of fire.
03 May, 2021, 1:28 am
(Ahh sorry for not showing up guys - I'm here now ':D)
03 May, 2021, 1:31 am

How're you doing?)

Eira looked up from her pondering as well when the storm of new patients came in, and she recognized them as the people she had saved from the fire. She gave Fiona a hurried nod and rushed over with her to assist the crowd. The shifter found herself nearest to a younger female who seemed shaky and nervous but quiet. Eira extended a hand and smiled, trying to show kindness without saying it, since they didn't speak the same language and Eira didn't want to spook her by sounding like some babbling foreign alien.
Thankfully, the young woman cautiously took Eira's hand, and the griffin shifter led her to a patient bed where she laid her down and began to examine her burns and bruises. //Hmm... What if I could reduce her burns myself?// The shiftress held a hand over the girl's burned knee, and she focused on releasing just a bit of ice magic. After a second, ice appeared as frost on her palm, swirling and flowering outwards over her skin as she laid her hand on the girl's knee. The civilian gasped, then settled back, surprised but relieved by the cool touch.
03 May, 2021, 2:14 am
(Hi! I'm doing ok! Just finished dinner, and been working on projects all day, which has been busy but fun. X)
How is everyone doing?)
03 May, 2021, 2:15 am
(I don't like that they swapped the positions for the Report button and Add Comment button... I keep hitting the Report button out of habit x'D)

Crystal listened to Christina’s explanation on what the purpose of a Fire Escape was, taking a second to think about it before saying, “Out of everything new I’ve seen in these worlds, this one makes the most sense to me.”
Now that their way to the roof was accessible and ready to use, she released her mental grip on her weapon and let it dissolve away, the used arrows doing the same as she began her way up the ladder too.
Crystal paused when the officer came to a halt, about to ask if everything was okay when she looked over and saw the next bird. She then grimaced, being able to see it a bit better didn’t help her uneasiness about it any. She didn’t like how still it was or the way it watched them, or.. at least how it watched her.
The girl continued to follow upward, but came to a stop again as Christina took an assessment of the roof. She watched closely, waiting for their next move, and when she saw the signal the officer gave she moved back down to the lower platform. “..What’s up there? Could you see what’s calling the other monsters?” Crystal questioned a bit quietly, her expression worried.
03 May, 2021, 2:20 am
Fiona watched Eira briefly, then joined a group of nurses in helping wounded civillians to cots--even if they had to seat some together, as there were few completely empty spaces remaining. All the while she went, she used her charade language to help keep people calm. Plenty of understanding smiles and thumbs-ups were given. Until she was met with a rather upset man who looked like he'd ended up in a fight and wasn't taking help very well... Especially not from her. Of course, he didn't trust any of the magical creatures, but... He kept calling her a 'crazy punk with mile-long hair,' which she /really didn't like./ (She could only understand this thanks to her link with Glory.)
Despite her frustration, the Elemental still did what she could, holding her hands up in front of her to show that they meant no harm and trying to motion to a bed... She tried reaching out once, but was slapped away.
In a final effort, she took out the bandage roll she'd picked up and jerked it, pulling some out and showing him what they wanted to do.
...He still seemed frustrated himself, but actually settled down a little after everything, looking to his injuries and grimacing...
So Fiona took a chance, stepped forward and gave a firm nod of affirmation before starting to treat his wounds while he stood. He still wouldn't allow the other medics close with most of their alien appearances, but Fiona cleaned and treated his scars the best she could, accepting towels, medication, and instruction from a nearby manticore humanoid nurse.

Anna did her best to fine the place with the least amount of people // I don't like how he treats Cat // she flash a orange color but when the red king seem to work with her little brother she to calm down.
Crimson took note on Eater yet again getting aggressive when he was picking in the Dreamer prince, add more and more to maybe, maybe what they were saying about the Nightmare was true but it wasn't something he wanted to think about... thankfully Dreamcatcher had moved the topic and actually came up with a possible plan " give me an arrow " he asked holding out a hand
Dreamcatcher did just that, he
summon arrow and give it to Crimson, the red king held it and look down at the silvery white and gold shaft, he gripe his hands around it and the arrow started to be covered with blue crystal, a light blue glow faintly illuminated from the crystal and then it dissolved in Crimson hands, even his bracelets had a glow to them, the light glow now halo him for a moment as he held his hands open with the last of the dancing lights, one's he stopped glowing Crimson rubbed his bracelets, they didn't hurt but he did feel something he hadn't before// His magic?...is it because he a moon blood?// the king flexed his fingers as he assimilated the magic that he was given. it was different from the dark creatures he was used to, he had felt healthy magic from the environment of worlds in light but he rarely did from others and the most he did was Crystal in her song that he grew to enjoy, he didn't understand her words but he felt something in them and in her magic, looking back it really seemed like day and night but he couldn't see it, all he knew was the darkness even though he believed he was doing good, it wasn't what was right and it wasn't for true good reasons but now he was understanding their was more.
Crimson started at his hands for a moment, he felt it, the darkness inside him clawing in the back of his mind but he has hope now " im ready, you just get into Position and fire when ready and I'll take care of my part "
Catch was watching Crimson and what he did with his Arrow // whoa, so he can still do that with both bracelets on....// he was curious on how this was going to work and there was only one way to find out. Dreamcatcher summon his bow and took aim, as he draw back his bow he felt the sting in his right hand, pulling back the bow itself wasn't really the problem, it was made of magic and that was the problem... Catch was reminded about his injured hand and using his bow took both hands and magic from both// Just got to do enough to get to the top // he did his best not to show his discomfort, it wasn't to bad at the moment but he didn't want to over do it ether.
Crimson let Catch draw his bow and summon an arrow, he held one hand out close to the Arrow and a bit of crystal form on it " fire whenever "
03 May, 2021, 3:44 am
Catch did just that, he let lose his bow string and his Arrow flashed with a light blue flame, it zip and hit the wall were Catch was aiming for and they Crimson rise his other hand, the Arrow busted and rapidly formed into a blue crystal that keep growing until the one who was controlling it stopped it, with it looked big enough for Eater to stand on " are you going to fire again or just stare? "
" what? Oh yeah!" Catch fire again and then again, repeating the same thing of Arrow and Crystals
After a while the Dreamer prince was starting to feel the effects in his right hand more and more, he was close to being done but had to stop and shake his right hand that was going numb

03 May, 2021, 3:49 am
(Thank you! x')
Oh no, I'm sorry Lilly :'s I hope you get some good rest and catch up on your sleep!
Sure thing! They are art projects, most of which are for the company my friends have started up and are working on. They're about to start making real content, so it's exciting to be able to be a part of the process and prep x') They have mainly an entertainment production, producing D&D podcasts, streams, and books on the world. The dragon WIP I shared is part of the art for the book!
They've been working hard to launch everything, so I've been doing my best to contribute with the time that I have. So yeah)
03 May, 2021, 3:49 am

After cooling down the young lady's burn and treating the other burns and bruises with her cool touch, Eira bandaged the worst of her scratches then gave her a kind pat on the arm, letting her know that she was done. As she brushed her hands off, the shiftress turned to investigate the room and spot where else she was needed.
She saw Fiona rather quickly, mainly hearing the dude she was helping as he was protesting and resisting healing. //She has a lot more patience than I do to deal with that guy... She seems to be doing a good job, though.//
Sjnce that situation seemed wrangled at last, she approached another table where a patient was just sitting there and waiting for someone to help him. Eira leaned in front of him to catch his gaze, and she waved in the friendliest gesture she could. His face was solemn and pale, probably shaken after all he had seen, but her human disguise seemed to be somewhat calming to him. She wasn't nearly as shocking as a lot of the more magical and creature-esque nurses around. Once there seemed to be some kind of trust acknowledged, Eira got to work cooling his burns and treating him with salves and bandages.
...It was both awkward and relieving to not be able to talk to her patient. For one, she couldn't communicate or make conversation with the spooked guy, so it was awkward trying to play charades with him to get him to roll up his sleeves and all. But not talking meant she didn't have to answer two dozens questions of /what on earth happened to this city/ and whatever else people would go on about if they could be understood. //Hopefully a translator will be able to answer everyone's questions, eventually...//

(Yee thank you! I'l let you all know when they start launching and publishing stuff xD
Yeah, get your rest Lilly! Goodnight, and sleep well! X3)

Ones on the platform with Crystal, Christina took a breath to collect herself " im not even sure how to explain what I seen, but im sure that monster the one calling the others, I haven't seen a dark creature like it before, not even in the books" she rises her hand to about the Heights " its about this tall, it top half has dozens of tentacles with eyes on them and it's middle half had mouths, all around it's abdomen, and it's legs were long and remained me of a spider " she shuttered at the thought of the grotesque monster " im sure it the one, it was hiding behind the billboard up there and using its tentacles to peek around it, it's no wonder we couldn't see anything from that distance" she closed her fist, she was mad but anger wasn't going to do them any good so she push it aside and kneel down, she draw out indivisible map of what she could see on the Rooftop and gave details on their placements, the piping, air conditioners and the other monsters she could see.
" now the problem is how to not let that thing see us and how do we get closer to it to take it down " Christina tape the floor, they only had the ladder to go up and she guessed that thing would see them as soon as they hop over the edge

( that sounds really fun Fade :D
D&D sure has exploded on the web it seem x'D )

Once she finished bandaging up the tense civillian, Fiona gave him a pat on the back, avoiding his injuries. Most of the other nurses who had been attempting to assist her with him had moved on to other patients--not only were they treating others who needed it, but less strangers also meant better luck with this individual.
The manticore humanoid tried to get a little closer, but he made it very clear he still wouldn't be trusting her by stepping back and muttering a few choice words. Fiona gave him an unhappy look, but reminded herself, //The humans here don't even allow swords or know what a lot of us are--something as crazy as this has gotta be EXTRA tough!//
She turned her expression to a partial smile and stepped forward in front of the man, letting the nurse know that she could leave this to her. Then she motioned to the civillian to follow her as she tried to use herself to help clear a path to let him through--it was disruptful, but they soon arrived at a cot with another person sitting there. The Elemental still had to work a little more with dramatic charades, but with some help from the other patient, they eventually got him to sit down. He wasn't even that angry anymore, just greatly distressed as he hunched over.
//Whew, finally...
...I wish I could do more... It looks like he got really messed up...// She gave another small smile and a much slower thumbs up in thanks to the both of them, then eventually turned to see who else might need help. She stood on her toes and eventually spotted Eira using her magic to help other patients...

(Ahhh, I hope it comes back for you too Galaxy! That's rough. ;w;
Yeee, it's already past midnight over here. It might be a good time to call it a night.
At the moment, I'm fairly certain I'll be free then! Most Sundays I am.)
