Catch didn't let go of Crimson, he didn't feel as bad in using him for support as Eater ran and jumped across the Rooftops. Things seem to be going well in that since But went Eater brought up his last comment both Catch and Crimson knew it wasn't going to be good....

" no" Crimson bluntly said first " whatever it is, is stupid "

Catch just blinked at Crimson, sure Eater was up to something but they didn't even know what, they again, it was Eater wasn't it? It didn't seem like Weaver, but what did Eater change his mind to? " we don't even know what it is that he wanted..." he thinks out loud

" nothing good, despite what you believe, your friend...is a Nightmare Catcher, don't forget that " Crimson replied still holding his bluntness

The Nightmare bares his teeth for just a moment when Crimson immediately shoots him down, but he keeps running. "I--No, it's not stupid...! It'll be better..." Eater protests at first, "It'll be better, because there won't be so many people in there by now, just monsters, so I don't have to shape shift back to my human form! I'll be fine, I'll be fine, Catch, in my true form, I don't need to shift back..."

The monsters being to look for what was given him that feeling, he cautiously walked looking around, moving his head slowly to see if it could spot, hear or smell anything, it moved in Sparky Direction but not completely towards him, it couldn't pin down the Fairfin, it just knew something was there

Terradream watches the shade very carefully, and tries to remain invisible as he shape shifts his form to be that of his human form, to make himself smaller. //I'm seeing two ways we could go about this, it's already on edge, you could try to unnerve it more and guide it in my direction by pushing it away with your presence, or you could make it seem as if you're afraid and trying to hide, you could lure it over here,// he tells his Fairfin, //I'm more inclined to try the latter, as the former might make it bolt, if it's possible for you to startle it too much... Can you handle the latter?//

//Aww, you know I can, boss man,// Sparky cheerfully replies, //You be ready with the surprise present, Santa Claus! I'll bring him right to ya!// With that, Sparky carefully backs up and moves over to a small pile of debris, where he hides behind it, deliberately knocks some of it over, and lets out a fearful squeak.

Terra makes no comment on what Sparky said.

Christina nodded and ready her gun with the girl answer, he took a breath " alright, don't go over the Edge until I get there full attention " she wasted her pistol and them started up the ladder.

[ your not going to have a whole lot of time once on top by what it sounds] Arthur knew his handler, she was young and had been tossed into a world she hardly had anytime to sit and understand, she was given a burden she didn't ask for but he had chosen her for who she was, not because of some birth right or some great achievement, he didn't pick her not because she could become these things but because she was just a girl who had a selfless heart for others, he trusted her and he knew she still needed to learn how to trust herself [ keep a clear head Crystal, set aside your doubts for now, don't accept defeat before you even try, you can fret about doubts that might not even happen later, right now focus on what needs to be done, I believe in you ]

Christina picked over the Edge, she waited for Crystal to get in position before she went over, ones the human girl was that when the officer made her move...Christina hurled herself over over the edge, it didn't take long for the monster with all the eyes to spot her, it opened its many mouths and an odd chatting sounds came from it... with that the other monsters nearby were alerted and draw it the pink officers position.

Christina was already on the move to the location Crystal had pointed out, pulling out her gun, she firing at the closet monster heading her way.

She was doing her job well, for now everything had her attention, including the monster with the many eyes, it just stayed in its hidden place making the odd chatting sounds as it's eyes followed Christina movements

Eira spent a bit of time going from patient to patient, using her icy touch to help relieve pain and cuts and burns, then left the nurses to do the more detailed healing work. She eventually found herself standing on the middle of the room, looking around until she spotted the top of Fiona's head as the Elemental approached. "How'reyou doing?" Eira asked, brushing off her hands and releasing a breath. "It's constantly busy in here, isn't it... I hope we're helping enough."

Fiona meandered through the crowd as she headed to Eira, making sure to stop for the nurses passing by this time, and helping out where she could by ushering people through. Thankfully it wasn't too long before she'd made it. She let out a breath as well, glancing around the bustling camp. Along with their help, the trained medics and nurses had thinned out the crowd some.
"I'm doing alright. Yeah, it's /still/ crazy in here... But I... I think we've been doing good." She looked to the griffin shapeshifter, "It's awesome how you use your magic to help! How're you holding up, though?"
Fiona didn't know much about Eira and her magic... But she had learned a few things just today that made her wonder.

Rahab surveyed the air around them, making sure there was no more shades creeping up on them, and then he looked over the people they had been rescuing. The ones on his back were clinging on for dear life, looking clueless and tired from the fights and scares. "Yall hanging in there? We're bringing you to a safe camp, so hang on."
The griffin turned to the Vaseterm who had been fighting alongside him. "Hey, Tim, you said? You know where that camp would be?" He did svan the city below them as he said it though, still doing his part to try and spot it if possible. He was looking for a concentration of Vaseterms and reinforcements.

I think that's all the reposts? :3

(AAAAHHH!
Foona looks so cute here! I love it!! Thank you, Shadow! X'3

...Also, I think the only thing I'm not seeing here is the post I made for Boreas last time...? Unless I forgot to post it. XD)

(Oh! I thought I got Boreas? D:

I must've saw it and thought I grabbed it, but I didn't... Oops! I'll get that real quick!)

" be prepared is the Scouts code!" Jason cheered in reply, even though Boreas probably didn't know about boy scouts

The Orange hair shapeshifter had to bring his bike to a stop because of the barrier of cars. He quickly parked it as Boreas sprung into action. He grabbed his crossbow and slung a belt with gear over shoulder. Jason then took other shot at a monster before needing higher ground, he got up on a car as he Reloaded and then fired again. " 2, 3, that makes 4 or Captain you want that one or split it? " he thinks out loud as Boreas finishes one he hit

With the new help the people on the building or standing a good chance against the monsters forces

Boreas had no clue what boy scouts were... He assumed it was like the other nicknames and games Jason played. Either way, codes were important to follow, especially if they meant coming prepared.

The icy Elemental hopped up onto a car as well, using magic to continue firing his own shots of ice, "Let's split it, 50-50!"
He went along with it, angling one of his shots to spear through two more of the monsters. But he didn't count his own hits out loud... His mind was a little more focused on the situation and backup plans.

(There we go)

(Thanks! ^v^

Also, how're ya doing?)

(No problem!

I'm doing good! How're you? :3 )

(That's good!

I'm doing pretty good, too! It's a nice, rainy day outside. -v-)

(Yeah, that's nice! It's been sprinkling over here too ^-^ It's nice and cool
Though my nose has been really runny today, that's been kinda annoying, and I've been sneezing more 'XD I think that's getting better though too

I'm so excited to RP XD )

(Oh no! I hope that's just allergies or something...
...Even so, allergies are annoying. 'XD
At least it's nice and cool over there, though!

I'm excited to RP too! ^-^)

(Awwww it's punk-rock Foona!!)

(*proceeds to almost report this post because I'm still not used to the buttons*)

Eira nodded in agreement at Fiona's statements, and the she chuckled at the compliment about her using her magic to help. The shiftress looked her hands over as she said, "Yeah... I guess... all this adrenaline and the need to save people is helping me think harder about how to control my magic. It's been out of control ever since my incident... but I can't just blast ice at shadow monsters anymore. I have to use my ice to help people, and that means taking a moment to really try and control it." She smiled a little bit, thinking back to earlier in the fight when she had used her ice to "feel" where her enemies were, so she could take them out.
"And as a matter of fact, I haven't felt any side effects from all this." Eira touched her shoulder where her ice usually is, currently invisible because of her disguise, but she could tell it wasn't spreading. Something was different this time, and it gave her hope. "So yeah, I'm holding up alright."

(FADE!!! HELLOOOOO!!!! *glomp*

How're you doing? :3
Also welcome to the almost-reporting-the-picture club X"D )

(HELLO!!
I'm still helping with some stuff at home but should be able to join in a bit, I'll be working on my post as I can! )

(HI SHADOW!!)

(HALLO, FADE AND SHADOW!

Ahhh, yes, the almost-reporting-the-picture club... It's been very popular lately. X'D

Good luck, Shadow!

And, I second Lilly with the how're you doing?)

( sorry for being late! We stop by my old work and seen Sugar grave, she in a really nice place ^-^ )

(It's ok Shadow! Ah that's great to hear, though ^-^ )

( how is everyone? :3)

(I'm doing good! :D Youuu?)

Even Catch knew this was a bad idea, Eater would be dangerous in any form but his true one would be to tempting to go wild but before he could say anything Crimson glace over his shoulder at the prince. Catch couldn't tell why though? Was it to see what he say or do? was he being smug or was it warning for what he was about to do? He couldn't tell because the kings armor hide everything from the Dreamer prince.

Crimson turned back to Nightmare, he leaned forward, placing one hand on the back of Eater neck and reached out with hid other and grabbed one of the Nightmares ears though the hole in it " You listen here And listen well! When we get there you /will/ shift to your human form or I'll make you! " he then tighten his grip on the Nightmare neck as he added " and I'll make sure you regret not doing it yourself "

( that good! X3
I'm doing pretty good to other then I need to eat something :'D )

(Go eaaaat!)

( it has to cook

Fiona watched Eira's hands with her, looking to her face with concern when she mentioned her 'incident.'
She knew Eira was corrupted and that was why she had ice on her--that she'd disappeared for four years and something had attacked her...
But that was about the extent of her knowledge. Either way, she was glad to hear that the griffin shiftress wasn't feeling any side effects from using her magic right then. "Oh! That's great! That's... Something to be thankful for." Fiona smiled a little, slowing her speech a little as she remembered what Suzano had told her about using thankfulness to fight corruption.
The Elemental briefly paused as a nurse attempting to guide multiple patients wandered by them. Fiona pointed her in the direction of an open spot for a patient, but there was only one...
Then she looked to Eira again,
"...Hey, sometime after all of this is over... Can I talk with you? I don't think we've really done that before."

Eater stops in place when Crimson grabs his neck and ear, and he doesn't say anything, only making growling whines at first. When he does finally speak up, he's nearly shouting, but with conflicting tones of fearfulness and anger in his voice. "But I don't want to! I don't want to!! I'm ALWAYS in my human form, I'm ALWAYS hiding myself, I'm rarely ever in my true form!! It feels /good/ to be in this form again, I feel /free!!/ I don't have to waste my energy hiding anything because there's nothing to hide in my true form! I don't want to shape shift back to that other form and pretend to be a Dreamer anymore!!"

The monster head snaps to the sounds Sparky made, it curled its maw but made no sounds, the creatures then started to creep its way over, keeping itself lower to the ground as it try to stocks its prey...

" Catcher, get off" Crimson said sternly.

" wait, what? Why?" Catch replied confused.

" im going to do what I was drag out here for and that to keep Eater in line, you can ether stay on as he shift or get off now Catcher, the choice is your but /I will/ keep him in line" Crimson replied coldly, he then focused on the hand that held Nightmares back of his neck, Eater would feel pressure from his Palm one that would increase to a sharp pain as the red king made a crystal like blade from his wrist and was slowly pushing it in. " you feel that Eater? That one of my crystal slowly going into you, Nightmares are tricky in getting them to shift... they're magic is complex...but not impossible to manipulate, that what makes it fun for me, that is, not so much for you..." he said darkly as he sent a small pulse of his magic into the Nightmare, it wasn't a lot as his intentions wasn't actually to force Eater to shift but to get his point across that he could.

The Nightmare's eyes widen when he feels the sharp pain in his neck, and his instincts to run wild and kill are quickly overtaken by his instincts to survive. "Stop! Stop, please!" he begs, flinching as the pulse of magic goes through his body, "Please! I'll shift back, I'll shift back, I'll do it! You don't have to make me--please...! I'll shift back when we get there...!"

//So far, so good...// Terra notes, watching the creature closely before observing the surroundings a bit more. //Being hidden behind this machine may not do too much for me since it can sense magic, eventually as it gets closer it'll be able to sense me... But if I try to approach it from the side while it's focused on Sparky... Hmmm...// He checks to make certain of how many bullets he has left. As of now, he has 5. //All the more reason why I need a good shot, every one of them needs to count... I don't need to move too much, but I will likely need to get closer before it gets over here... Or... Hmmm...// For now, he crouches down behind the car, trying to make himself smaller, and peers around the side of the car to watch.

Meanwhile, Sparky pokes his head out of his hiding spot to see what the shade is doing, and notes the speed at which it is approaching him. He then goes back into hiding and carefully letting himself become a bit more visible, waiting for the monster to get closer, and trying to judge the time it would take based on its creeping. Once he thinks the creature is juuuust close enough, he squeaks again and bolts from his spot, towards another nearby piece of debris.

Crimson used just a bit more of his magic on the Nightmare even though it wasn't necessary, a part of him wanted to make a point so Eater wouldn't get any further ideas as other part of him wanted to keep hurting the Nightmare...

Dreamcatcher quickly try to stop the red king by grabbing his arm " stop! He said he shift back! You don't need to keep hurting him!"

Crimson glace over his shoulder again and then looked back to the Nightmare " your lucky Catcher here Nightmare, I was just starting to enjoy myself..." he whispered to Eater just before letting him go...

Crimson let the crystal he made turn to dust and blow away, it sparkled in the air before it vanished

Catch didn't know what to think of Crimson other then he was dangerous but at least the red king stopped. The Dreamer prince cautiously patted the Nightmare as he asked" you ok buddy?" He keep an eye on Crimson not sure what he say or do next, right now he was just sitting looking the other way

“Okay..” Crystal said, then watched the officer begin up the ladder.

When Arthur continued to speak, the girl closed her eyes for a second to let the Kings words sink in. She ran her hand through her hair to get it out of the way and took in a deep breath, “You’re right, right now dealing with these monsters is what’s most important..” she said, doing her absolute best to put everything else aside. When she opened her eyes again, she grasped the ladder in front of her to get ready. Her head was still anything but clear.. But the more she tried to think about what they were dealing with instead of her fears, the more it slowly all shifted from being a mass of nerves and doubt, to a focus on figuring out what she had to do when she got up to the top of the building herself.

Once Christina was up on the roof, Crystal quickly climbed up just enough to be able to peek over the edge. She watched as the attention of each of the monster’s was drawn to the officer, the sight of them all sending another wave of nervousness through her, but when she knew she had the chance she carefully got down onto the roof and darted behind the closest of the big metal boxes to hide and figure out what she needed to do next.

(HALLO, GALAXY! :D

How's it going?)

(HIYA GALAXY! Yes, how are you? :D )

Dreameater flinches and whines more as another pulse of painful magic surges through him, but aside from the pain-filled noises he makes, he stays quiet until Dreamcatcher pats him and talks to him. "Noo, I'm scared..." he quietly whines back, starting up a bit of a trot again with his head held low, "I'll shift back though, I'll do it, I don't want him to hurt me... It just..." he stops himself abruptly, as if afraid of what would happen if he even finished that thought out loud. At the same time, what Crimson said sticks in his mind. He's lucky that Catch is here, Catch stopped Crimson... Maybe he should rely on Catch more?

Morning Glory stayed anxiously quiet, but with things more under control again, she turns to look back at Catch briefly, and gives a quiet, "Thank you, Catch..." before flying over almost onto Crimson's lap. "... Crimson... He's not just a Nightmare, remember..." she warns, looking up at him with sad eyes.

(And now I must go. *flaps away*)

(HI LILLY SHADOW FLUFFY AND EVERYONE!!! *glomps everyone*

I have food and now I can sit and write

How is everyone?)

(Goodbye Lilly! And good luck on your journey!)

(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*Is glomped*

I'm doing good! But because it's nice and rainy out, I can't decide whether or not to turn the light on in my room. It's kinda dark out. XD

And food is good. -v-)

( HI FADE!! THAT IS GOOD YOU HAD FOOOD!!

I JUST HAD FOOD TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm doing pretty good ^-^ )

( HI GALAXY!!! HOW ARE YOUUUUUUUUU?)

Eira nodded with a smile at Fiona's comment, agreeing inside that she really was thankful for this unexpected improvement. It seemed unlikely that it would happen now of all times, yet perhaps the extreme situation called for her to forget about her own issues and only focus on how she could help those in need. //This is much better than not having magic at all...//

The shiftress helped direct the new patients to a spot as well, then glanced up at Fiona. "Oh... I mean, sure. Is everything alright?" She had to ask, just in case.

(Bye Lilly!

Oooh very nice, rain can always be pleasant x'3

YAY FOOD Food is good for you, so long as it's still food

Hi Galaxy!!)

(Hello everyone! :D

I’m doing pretty good, albeit a bit tired though. Sleep was wack this week. xD

I’m a bit late to ask how you guys are, but from your responses above, it’s nice to see y’all are good too!)

(Fiona is now FedEx, Shadow has confirmed)

(Oh no, sounds like the rough sleep has not been fun :') Hang in there Galaxy! Make sure to take it easy and let yourself rest when you need it.)

Tim nodded " yes, just follow me! " The male Vaseterm tip his wings to go in the directions the closest Camp should be set up.

It didn't take long flying over the city to spot the make shift hold out below.
There look like a clearing between the buildings and tents which was an old parking lot

( Rain? *^* that sounds really nice Fluffy x3

That smells about your sleep schedule Galaxy, I hope you get some good rest tonight and the rest of the week :D

Yes, I can xD my cellphone has done it again x"DD )

When Rahab and Tim spotted the camp, Rahab tipped his direction and swooped down towards the parking lot, beating his wings to make his landing as smooth as possible. It was a good size for all these griffins and Vaseterm to land. He tucked in his wings and walked towards the camp on all fours, figuring that he'd make it easier on the people they rescued.

The griffin nodded to the guards at the gate as he passed through, walking into the open area that the walls surrounded. When he had a spot clear enough of people, he finally laid on his belly on the ground, spraying out one wing for the rescued civilians to climb off of. "I hope you all can walk yourselves to infirmary," he murmured as he watched them go, their legs rubbery like noodles after all that flying and stunts. One of them tripped and fell on their face, and Rahab winced. "Yeah... Sorry. That's my fault."
As he sat there, he looked around at the camp, investigating what else was going on there.

Arthur didn't say anything more and let the girl get to work.

Christina was on the run with her Glock out and fired at one of the dog like monsters making a jump at her, she didn't stop running after the monster hit the ground, she put a new clip into her gun.

The pink humanoid hurtled over a unit on top of the building, More monsters were on their way but she could at least hold up her for a moment.
The monster with the many eyes glace over in her directions for a moment, some of its eyes not sure if they seen something move bit it didn't stay focused that long and turned towards the police officer. The many eyes monster opened its many mouths and started to make odd sounds again, calling for more reinforcements

(Ah, thanks guys. ^^

I hope to get some better sleep too. At one point this week I was over 30 hours with no sleep (for a good cause), and I keep waking up at like.. 6 am for no reason. XD)

Fiona met Eira's glance briefly as they helped the nurse with the group of patients, "Hm? I mean, it's as alright as it can be right now! I just think if we get to know each other better, we can stick together better and help each other out." Despite the fact that Eira's corruption was at the forefront of her mind, Fiona didn't directy refer to it yet. The slight air of positivity the two of them had right then made her want to keep thinking that way--even with all the other things whirling through her mind...

(Fed Ex returns! X'D

Ahh, I'm late, but I hope you can take it easy today and get some better rest this week, Galaxy! It's never any fun when your internal clock gets messed up--especially after a lot of missed sleep.)

(I'M BACK AND I SEE JOLLY CONVERSATIONS, that makes me happy -w-)

(Welcome back! Fiona is now FedEx, fyi)

(I see X'D Thank you! :D )

(JOLLY RANCHERS

Welcome back, Lilly! XD)

(I see you're at least doing good, Galaxy, and that's good! I do hope you get some better sleep this week though! :3

And Fade, you have TIME! And FOOD! That's always a great combo~ X3 )

// it seem Eater wasn't hurt to bad, Crimson just sacred the living daylight out of him//Dreamcatcher sigh and patted the Nightmare again " I think thats for the better Eater " he looked up at the red king, like Glory said it wasn't just Eater but Weaver was in there to " no problem Glory "

Crimson didn't respond to what Catch and Eater were talking about. The red king was like an emotionless statue, he did however glace down at the forgotten, he didn't say anything to her but took one hand and petted her head.

Crimson plan was working, no one would understand it, not right now but he was wanting them to believe he was the villain, especially Dreameater, Nightmares thought differently then people, there was no changing their minds to do good or get them to sympathy for others, they didn't work that way, but what did was fear.... who ever was the biggest evil was the one who made the rules... Eater was already testing the red king and Crimson knew he couldn't allow the Nightmare any leeway here, not with this high of a risk so he playing the part he needed them to believe, for their sake and if Weaver was really alive, then his to...

From there, Dreameater doesn't say much more, he just trots along the rooftops for a while, before jumping down and continuing his run on the road.

Morning Glory also doesn't say anything when Crimson pets her, and nuzzles his hand gently.

Eater likely would've remained fairly quiet after all that, perhaps making small talk here and there as he runs to keep his mind off of other things, but he slows down eventually when he starts getting closer to some of the areas where he can sense unusual, evil life auras. "... I think we're here..." he mutters, glancing around at the buildings ahead, more or less looking at the life auras. He can sense Crystal and the Captain are nearby too--not in the immediate area, but they're close, however he's not going to say anything about that right now. Knowing he's going to need to shift back to his human form, he turns his head and tries to glance at his passengers, but doesn't say anything yet.

After landing the male Vaseterm didn't follow in the Griffin led this time, he had to take his passenger to the Infirmary and after that see what his people needed " thanks for all your help " he I meant what he said, on his own he would have die and so would have the Griffins they rescued.
Tim was glad to be on the ground again and in a much safer place, safer in his mind, he then headed towards the makeshift Infirmary alone with Lucy brother.

(Time and food is a nice combo, yes xD)

(Agreed! XD)

Once Rahab had unloaded all his passengers, snow swirled around him as he shifted back to his human form. He didn't have a disguise ring on, so his feather tufts and eagle-sharp eyes were still visible, but he didn't exactly care. He passed off as pretty human-looking person, anyway.
The griffin put his hands on his hips and looked around, wondering what to do next. The infirmary seemed busy and cluttered, but he felt obliged to go over and help a limping person reach the infirmiry safely, putting the male's arm around his shoulders and helping the guy walk there without falling.

---

Eira tilted her head as she listened to Fiona, then gave a positive nod. "Oh, of course. We haven't had the chance to talk much after all. I think that would be much due," the shiftress said with a friendly smile. "Once, you know... everything else is in check." She couldn't help but think of a lot of the wild stuff happening as well, giving the infirmary a forlorn look. "There clearly isn't the peace to chat now - but staying positive and looking forward to a nice conversation over tea is a good motivator to get us through it all," the shiftress said as encouragement to them both, with a nice pat on Fiona's arm.
It was then that Eira caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and she perked up. "Oh - Ray-Ray!" She instinctively said, hurrying over to her brother to give him a hug. She stepped back a little awkwardly, feeling she might've jumped on him too abruptly. "I'm glad you're safe... What are you doing here? Is it okay out there?"

Rahab jumped in surprise when his little sister appeared, but he returned the hug. "I just brought some rescued civilians here. It's bloody terrible as Sol's armpits out there, but a lot of Vaseterm backup has arrived. I'll be going back out once I've caught my breath," he told her.

Returning Eira's friendly smile, Fiona nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I think so too!"
She had been about to look for what to do next, but when Eira spotted her brother, Fiona followed behind, glad to see that another person they knew was safe. She may have felt a little mixed about Rahab himself, but seeing Eira give him a hug made her grin.

"Hey, good to see you're alright." She added in, only making a very disgusted face and an 'eugh' when Rahab made his comparison to how bad it was out there.

Meanwhile, within the crowds, a teary-eyed woman who'd been rescued from the fire was watching the entrance to the camp and anxiously going around to any person she could find.
However, when she spotted Eira, she rushed over to the group, having recognized the one who'd saved her.
"E-excuse me... You... You're the one who saved us... Aren't you?" She asked, her voice full of woe.
...She didn't know that Eira may be able to understand her, thanks to her link with Anna, but that understanding didn't go both ways.

( Boreas is emo not an Elemental, according to my cellphone)

(Fiona the Fed Ex and Boreas the emo.

Yup. That checks out. X'D)

( Rehab the rabbit xD )

(Oh my X'D )

Even though they dealt with the flying monsters rather quickly more were on their way.
Josh pointed up at the sky " heads up! More are on their way!"

" I didn't order seconds but if they want it I got a can of whoopin for them to! Jason hollered reloading his crossbow again, he looked over towards Boreas " hey Admiral! I got an idea! You think you can put the freeze to this dish?" He pulled his bow back showing the net round he had loaded

As they draw closer to their destination the very present of chaos was setting in, Dreamcatcher felt his stomach turn from all the destruction. " people use to live here, family... there business, there hope and dreams...gone, for what? "

"... this is awful " Rihanna breath out, she flew closer to the small group.

Unlike the others who were put more on edge as things got darker the red king on the other hand got more relaxed..." and here I was about to say it feels like home... "Crimson pick up Glory and place her on his shoulder " clearly you never experienced an invasion before " the red king got down first, he keep a hand on Eater just to insure the Nightmare wouldn't make a run for it.

// ...oh...like his home?.... that isn't a joke is it? // Dreamcatcher grimaced he wondered what kind of life did Crimson come from but it was true what the king said, he had never seen anything on this on this scale before, sure there was some in the past year and at the time he had thought they were big but this was far more they what he had been expecting. " I...no your right " the Dreamer prince followed and got off to before continuing "I haven't but we have to do something! "
Crimson smirked but no one could see it " well, at least your being optimistic " he then turned to the Nightmare and took his free hand and poked him with a finger " you, shift /now/"

Even with being further away from people, it still takes Eater a moment to take things in. Not that he really cares or feels the weight of the horror here, being a Nightmare and all... He looks like he's about to say something when Crimson pokes him, and he flinches despite not being hurt this time. With only a second of hesitation, Dreameater shape shifts back to his human form and adjusts the purple scarf that shifted with him. "I--I'm back, I'm back..." he mutters, watching Crimson, then turns to Catch and says what he first intended to, "And we're going to do something that's why we're here. I can sense there's things traveling in a swarm in that direction," he then turns and points where he said, "I can sense there's some survivors over there, but Captain Boreas is over there, as well as Crystal, and some others. I'm guessing they're fighting some dark creatures already, and these ones are coming to join them."

The monsters lunged forward and took off after whatever small it seen, though it was small this monster just wanted to kill things, anything.

Crimson moved his hand when Eater shifted.he then then placed one hand against his helmet and look out to were Eater pointed, his visor adjusted zooming in // hmmm... I need to get my hands on one of these things to know what we're really up against...// this plotting got distracted from his searching when a certain name got dropped " Crystal close by?" He put down his hand and turned his head to the Nightmare // she alive! I knew she be able to handle herself!// he was relieved by that, even though he believed in Crystal, she had a good head and good luck to. to him Crystal was worthy of being a kings candidate but she was still human and hearing she was alive only reassure him.

Dreamcatcher watch the Nightmare closely as he shift, he glace over at Crimson to. A smile came to the Dreamer prince face with Crimson reaction to Crystal// Crystal seem to get his attention... I guess those two are close? They were always around each other...// he felt a little bad that he didn't know more but now wasn't the time. " we better get mov- Hay Crimson! We need a plan!" he called out as the red king had started in the Direction Eater pointed

With her back pressed against the metal box, Crystal froze and listened for a moment, to make sure she didn’t draw anything her way just yet. She thought about the layout of the roof from the way Christina explained it and where each of them were as of now. The girl turned and peaked around her hiding spot, quickly turning back after she got a glimpse of the multi-eyed monster.. ‘If I get too close it’s probably going to notice me, but I don’t think just arrows are going to cut it since I’m not sure where to aim to kill it..’ Crystal paused at that thought. She was far too scattered to try any new tricks, but she knew how to switch between her weapons. ‘If I start taking out it’s eyes I might be able to get closer, or make it come this way to find me, so I can use my sword instead..’

It wasn’t really a fancy idea, or had anything to do with metaphorical boxes like Arthur had mentioned, but it what she could come up with, and since Christina had most of the other monsters occupied, it was what she was going to try.

Crystal brought her bow back into existence, being careful to keep it hidden until she was ready to use it. She pulled the string and made an arrow, getting it set before she had to expose her placement to be able to aim. The girl slowly crept over and stepped out of hiding just enough to get some of the monster in view. She readied her bow and aimed at one of its eyed tentacles, ‘Please don’t move..’ she thought as she let go of the string, quickly shifting so she could hide her bow and herself a bit more but still be able to see so she could know what she needed to do next.

Boreas watched the other monsters heading towards them. //They're coming in waves...//

Upon being called, he shifted his gaze to see Jason out of the corner of his eye, "No problem! Being cool is part of the job, after all." He smirked, more snowflakes forming around him as he readied his ice magic. "Let's put 'em on ice!"

Some bunny doesn't like his job.

...At least, that might be the story Shadow's phone is trying to write. XD)

(Emo FedEx X"DDD )

(Sorry, had to run an errand x'D I live)

(It's alright Fade! Welcome back! X'D)

(I'm still writing a post and this is kinda late, but I think a good song for everyone in general right now is:

)

(Hey welcome back Fade! :D That's quite alright!)

"Yeah, Crystal's over there," Eater simply and quietly repeated, easing up a little with the red king's reaction, and he walks over to Catch, tightening the scarf around his neck some. He's still calmer than he was earlier, but admittedly the thought of upcoming battle does make him a little antsy... Nevertheless, he actually tries to plan out a little himself when Crimson starts to move and Catch calls out to him. "I mean, I think a good first order of action would maybe be getting me a weapon," he lightly teases in another mutter, then turns again and speaks up, "You... What're you planning, Crim? You know you're not going in alone."

Rahab looked over to Fiona, took a moment to squint at her, then gave a gruff nod. He wasn't gonna openly admit that he didn't recognize Fiona right away; yes, he had seen her disguise before, but no, he hadn't remembered it and made the connection.

Eira jumped slightly and turned around when the woman addressed her, and she tilted her head in concern at the tears in her eyes. "Oh... yes, I did. Is everything alright?" She asked, but she already had an inkling of what the issue was by the distress in the woman's eyes. Just in case she wouldn't understand her words, the shiftress gave her a clear nod of her head, and a questioning frown to beckon an explanation for the distress.

//It's running, keep going,// Terra informs his partner, keeping a close eye on the situation and rethinking some things, //It's not startled at all and seems intent on killing, so maybe it won't be disturbed much by my presence, hopefully it'll come after me too. I'll try to take a shot once it's a little closer.//

Sparky leaps over the debris he had been running for and continues dashing towards Terra's general direction. //Okie dokie, artichokey!//

Dreamcatcher glace over at the Nightmare he had intended in giving him one of his swords but Crimson was taken off already.
" ....so tell me? the plan/ is/ to kill them all isn't?..."Crimson stop and stood there for a moment ' you know your not going in alone ' repeated in his mind, he glace over his shoulder, teamwork wasn't one of his strongest points but he did do it when he was blind and he had no other option, the red king let out a frustrated growl as he had to re strategize his plan. Crimson dropped to one knee and placed a hand on the ground, he focuses and soon blue crystal form under him, they were spreading slower then what they did inside the barrier and the edges that stop growing turned dull some spots even looked a sick grayish green... Crimson Mumble something under his breath as he stood back up, what was happening to his crystal he didn't like " this spell alone with this world is messing with my abilities and before you say anything that sticker thing working, it my magic that the problem, / I need/ magic in the earth but there nothing here...just Malice's spell..." he turned to Catch and Eater and now was going to give them his plan or what he had " my plan was for me to get out in front of these monsters " he pointed at Eater " Im not hiding my presence so you be able to sense where I'm at and I'm hoping they will to, if they have any sense of survival they will turn and go the other way " he pointed to the ground were he was standing " right back here were you two will hopefully be ready "

" I will buy you two time If I can, I'm not sure how these things will recognize me, if they don't run then I'm in for a fight but I'm sure I been in worst " Crimson then started to walk away again " you can try to make use of my crystal if you want, they absorb Magic and right now any kind will be focused to reflect so be careful what you use them for, it come back twice as hard " Crimson then toss his hand up as he shouted " THIS WORLD FREAKING SUCKS! "

Dreamcatcher watch and blinked as Crimson drop his info and just head out, he would have liked some kind of actual discussion but the red king was on his way... he stood there holding one finger up " ugh, are we just letting him go like that? "He thinks outloud

Fiona opened her mouth to say something more to Rahab, but noticed the woman speaking with Eira. For the moment, she turned her attention to her, wondering what was going on.

The woman paused momentarily, quickly realizing she didn't know what language Eira spoke in, but nonetheless, she continued her plea. "Please... Have you seen him?" She held up her phone, showing a picture of a young boy with blonde hair, "He's my son. W-we were separated... I've asked so many people... P-please, I just need to know he's safe...!" She begged.

A saddened look came to Fiona's face as she heard the woman's sobs. She looked to Eira, Rahab, then around the camp, "...There are a /lot/ of people here, but I never saw that kid get brought in..."

(You know that moment when it's getting late and you never ate dinner, so you know you should probably be getting hungry, but you don't feel very hungry?

To eat, or not to eat... That is the question...)

(Haha, yep xD)

(...I think you should probably at least get something, Lilly. But I also get what you mean. ;w;)

Dreameater stays quiet and listens as Crimson explains his plan, and he grunts quietly when the king turns to leave. "Not quite," Eater mumbles back to Catch as he notices Hope hopping off of Crimson's shoulder and starting to fly back to him. He holds up one hand to get her to stop. "Glory, you stay with him. Keep an eye on him for me," he says.

"What about you...?" the Forgotten nervously asks.

It takes the Nightmare a moment to respond. "I'll... I'll be fine, I got Catch, and Anna's up there somewhere too. Crim needs someone with him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid, but I don't want to get in his way either... You be a good little voice on his shoulder."

"... Ok..." she mumbles, reluctantly flying back to Crimson.

After that, Eater rubs his forehead with one hand. "... I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but I guess we'll see how things play out, huh...?" he mutters to Catch, squeezing his eyes shut for a moment before turning to look at him. "If he's gonna try to send the monsters to us, we've got some time to prep. We gotta think, what can we set up? You have light, I have fire, though everything's damp from the rain; he said his crystals can reflect magic, maybe that'd help with my fire? But what about you?" he asks.

(I guess I'll take a break and see about making something 'XD I'll brb)

Eira's heart dropped when the woman explained her situation and showed the holographic image (she assumes) of the woman's son. "That can't be good..." Eira murmured as she also looked around the camp for a sign of the boy. He didn't look familiar, and there didn't seem to be any other place the boy could be in the camp... She turned to Fiona and Rahab. "We should go back out and find him as soon as possible..." She paused, then turned back to the woman. "Where should we look for him?" The shiftress paused again, trying to think of how to ask the woman to communicate where she last saw her boy. Eira pointed to the north, then the east, the west, and the south, then gave the woman a querying head tilt.

( hmmm, you got two ideas and both could lead to very interesting things ewe
Many much for sighting~ what to do what do )

( avocados!!!)

(Avocados are very good~)

The monster with many eyes was focused on were Christina hid herself, it's was standing straight up trying to get the most hight to see. The monster let out a horrible screeching when one of its eyes got hit, the monster stumbled back it other eyes looking around frantically for who attacked it but it soon would be attacked again but this time by something else...

Christina pop out from her spot just enough to take shot at other monster, she then had to make a quick getaway as more dog creatures were upon her. The pink officer made a run to other metal box, she turned and fire at the monster that followed her. Then the many eyes monster scream and the monster that were after Christina stopped and turned in its directions // did she get it?!// she tuned around the corner with her gun at the ready, almost expecting the monsters to be heading to Crystal now they were not, they were more confused as the black bird from before flew around the monster peeking at its eyes.

Christina was hesitant for a moment but she needed to keep up being the distraction and took advantage of the distraction, she shot a few more times getting in some clear shoots at the remaining dogs monsters " Hay! Over here!" She hollered at them to get their attention once more.

Fiona nodded in determined agreement, "Definitely! A little kid out in the middle of this... We've gotta find him."

It took a few moments, but the woman soon put together what Eira was trying to ask. A hint of relief came to her face as she believed her pleas were understood. She wiped away her tears and composed herself as best as a distressed mother could, "I-I'm afraid he may still be where the f-fire was... W-we were separated when it started..." She thought for a moment, "He's a smart boy... He could have escaped a different way... But with those monsters--" She covered her face, "I... I can't stand the thought... Please, he has to be okay..."

(Oooh, avocados are very good!)

( they are also a fun word to say to xD )

( Jason and Bob Ross may a get team xD )

(Fr e sh a voca do)

(Me too XD

Thanks!)

(...Oops. There goes the c.)

Jason grind with that reply " alright!" He then made a high pitch whistle and called out " HERE MONSTERS!" he then fired his shot when some of the monsters got closer together.
The bolt he had in this time opened up into a net as it flew though the air

Eira gave a nod as she took in the information, mapping in her mind how to get back to the place with the fire. Her words wouldn't mean much, but she leaned in to take the woman's hands and hold them firmly, not hard but showing her determination. "Don't worry - we'll find him," she said as she met the woman's gaze, showing her that her child would be in confident, good hands.
Once she had made her point, Eira let go and turned to Fiona. "You ready to go back out there?"

Rahab stood back and watched, waiting for Eira and Fiona to make their decision, having already decided that he'd join them. "I can give you all a ride to make things quicker. Just tell me where to go."

(Welome back)

(Thank you guys!~ :3

Welome x'D )

The monster runs after the little ghost Fairfin, it bumps into vehicles as it focuses on its pret, it's snap its jaws to bite at him but he so small and a ghost for that matter that the shade miss

Boreas kept his eyes on the target, waiting for just the right moment to use his magic. He watched the net soar through the air, and around the group Jason aimed for. Then with a flick of the wrist, he sent a darting gust of ice magic at the base of the net. A freezing, white and blue shimmer spread across the ropes, hardening them and quickly weighing down the flying monsters inside.
"You're not planning on keeping any of 'em in your room are you?" He joked--but at the same time, he was also using that to ask what the plan was with the creatures...

(Oof man sleep has suddenly hit me hard, I don't know how much more I'll be able to do)

Fiona joined Eira in comforting the woman, giving her a gentle pat on the shoulder, and her own determined look as well.
...Then she did a gesture like making binoculars out of her hands, and gave a double thumbs up, trying to reaffirm what the shiftress was saying through charades.

The woman was still obviously incredibly worried, but with the steadfast, caring mannerisms she was seeing from the girls, she knew that they were on the case... Even though Fiona's charades may have been a /little/ odd to her at first. She took a shaky breath, then quietly said, "...I can't thank you enough."

Fiona gave one last sympathetic look, then turned her attention to Eira, "Yeah. The sooner we find him, the better!"
And finally, she looked to Rahab, "That... Sounds like a plan." She still wondered what was going on with her own ability to fly. It frustrated her to think about it, but now wasn't the time to dwell on it.

(Charaaaaaaaaaaaades)

(Ok yeah as much fun as I'm having, I'm so dead right now, 'm gonna get to bed early tonight! It's been a lot of fu nthough, I'm really looking forward to next weekend, everyone! Good night ^-^ )
