Dreamcatcher snicker but he couldn't hold it and laughed, it was weird to think Weaver smell like his wife but at the same time the thought that this happened was funny to him, there was no doubt that Catch thought about Eira a lot, even now he worried about her, was she safe clawed in the back of the half-bloods mind but Dreamcatcher shook his head, he had decided to trust in Eira, he needed to be there for her but not hovering like he was, Eira had come a long way and he believed that.

Dreamcatcher rub the back of his neck, he was wondering how did the smell thing even work, he knew Nightmares couldn't read minds so how did they know and how did they change their own smell? // I could try I guess but I'm not even sure how this is supposed to work, am I just supposed to think about something else? I don't think it be that completely, I know I think about Eira a lot but I do think about other things to// that made him have other thought //what am I supposed to think about? Fish instead? // he tested with the last one

//Hey, I don't know how it works either, I still think like I'm a Dreamer! You're not supposed to change how you smell depending on who you hang around, but Nightmares are stupid and weird when they're not the worst things in existence,// Weaver replies, then huffs, //Awww, not fish! Dude, I think you're the only one that'd like that, I mean Purity likes fish too, but I don't think she'd appreciate it if /I'm/ fishy. She's already tried to drown me for not having taken a shower for like, the whole year...!//

The Doctor let out 'hmmm' he could tell she was being honest, and he did give her news she wouldn't want to hear, over all he thought she took it quite well but it was pretty obvious that the Elemental wasn't doing the greatest and not just physically either.

" for all your sake I'm glad to " Dr.Kwanzo reply, he had a bit more softer tone this time. " your little group of merry men we're not so marry when you came to our door, it's a good thing that were used to fixing up broken pieces "

Fiona just lay there and listened to the doctor, thinking about his words.

Yeah, the group really was like a bunch of broken pieces. She didn't even fully understand what was happening with everyone. She wanted to... But... What was she doing wrong?

"...How do you fix broken pieces? Have... You had ones like our group before?"

what the red king told Glory earlier was still weighing heavy on his mind, he didn't know what to call the warm and texture of skin, all the details that was in a hand in both touching and feeling things, but he did like the sensation, just like with seen colors and even the smells in the room, it was all new to him but should he be enjoying it? Knowing that this body wasn't his.

The red king lifted his gaze a little to see the tiny Bellezza when she spoke to him, he then went back to looking at his hands and was slowly rubbing his fingers over each other "...yes, It was an unpleasant experience, but I do believe I feel different now... I am guessing that what you mean by better? "

During her attempt to focus, Crystal gave another little nod to Boreas when he spoke up about joining her.

Crystal let out a breath when Glory answered and said she was still with Crimson, her head lowering for a moment with the immense amount of relief that washed over her so suddenly. And though the Fairfin also said there were problems, the girl was just glad that they, along with the others mentioned, even the name she didn’t recognize, were alive and safe.

Crystal had to wait momentarily to keep her emotions under control, but soon she replied, //I’m so glad you guys are okay and safe now.. I think we’re okay too, for the most part.// Of course, as she said that she watched Edgar return with the odd, bent up metal pole of sorts and then hit the helmet, “That’s not- oh goodness..”

The girl quickly got back to Glory though, saying, //Our- Our situation at the moment is investigating this area we came across, there’s a ginormous hole in the ground and by the looks a battle of some kind happened. We think Crimson had been here too.. Since you’ve been with him today, does that sound familiar?//

"Yes, it is." The unfazed mare replied to Jason, "And we're unsure of what caused it, aside from an acidic substance..."

Then she stepped around him and once again motioned to the alleyway, showing him where Crystal, Boreas, and Edgar had gone, "They're in there."

Once Glory reported to them that Crimson and that group was safe, a certain weight was lifted off of Boreas' shoulders as well... He gave a faint smile to Crystal. //That's the news we were looking for.//

After that, he was quiet for a while in their discussion with Glory. Especially when he got to witness Edgar's golf trick. Had he not been in business mode, he would've snorted in amusement.
"...Edgar, let's settle down a bit before we do further testing."

He waited for Crystal to finish, then added on, //There's rather strange ice at one side of the pit... Gashes in the road... Right now, we're in a nearby alleyway where there's rancid slime and three fourths of a helmet...//

He had his own questions for Glory, but chose to save them for now.

Morning Glory waits until she hears everyone's comments before she says anything herself, and she starts with Crystal and Boreas. The scene they both describe is very familiar. //Yes, that's where all the horrible things started happening... Crimson was trying to fight off some evil butterfly monsters when he was pinned, I don't know exactly what happened, and it happened too fast, but he started using some very evil magic... The crater is probably the aftermath of that. As for the alleyway, that's where Crim ran to when he was finally able to control himself again, he ran away from the... the horrible thing, I can't even begin to describe it, it was...// she quickly collects her thoughts and gets back on track. //In the alleyway, he took off his helmet and started throwing up... At that point, I got out of his helmet--I had been in his helmet up until then. Then I heard the thing coming back, and he grabbed me and ran from there, until it shot him with harpoon like things, hook things, and was trying to drag him towards itself. That's when Eira, Rahab, and Terra showed up, I'm guessing the ice is from Eira.// A great concern crosses her mind, however, and she quickly adds in, saying, //Be careful around there! The disgusting monster thing had turrets that shot at us as we tried to escape, they could still be around there!//

She then takes a moment to answer the Red King. "Well, if you don't feel sick anymore, like you're going to throw up more of that nasty stuff, I'd say that's better," she tells him, then thinking back to what he said earlier. "... You... You're the one that's already dead, aren't you? And somehow, for whatever reason, your spirit is inside of Crimson?" She asks, turning more of a sad blueish purple now, "You even find it strange to even have a body, though... I'd think you haven't had a body of your own in a long time, haven't you? ... Do you even have a name?"

Edgar was laying flat on his, uh, back? Or what could be assumed as one. The even more Bent up Golf Club lay next to him.The little drone made a groaning sound that was his version of a moan. Getting hit by the helmet wasn't his plan but that what happened.

Boreas told Edgar to settle down and he agreed by taking one of his little arms and holding it up, the clamps moved to his version of a thumbs up.

"Hmmm, if I had to guess it be a sub boss " Jason thinks outloud as he takes a closer peek into the acid pit " Dudessss, no, it's a secret boss! The layout say it all!" To him it definitely seem like one, everything that lead up to this point said that there was more going on behind the scenes then they all knew, but why target Crimson?
He needed help but to his knowledge Ethan and Qui were at the silver spear Palace, which as his memory was getting clearer he remembered that something wasn't right back home...

" hey Eathn, you copy?" Jason try his radio, but only static replied, the orange hair boy took his hand down from his ear and held it by his side in a fist.

" were are /in the dark/ with this one..." Jason asked but wasn't looking to any of the Mares in particular but they would have known what he meant, that something bad had happened to their home...

Jason trusted his team to have already done what they could to find out what was going on, so there wouldn't be any point in bossing around his team for things they had already done well he was out. Jason started to head over to were the others had gathered " you can fill me in on the details as we go, we got a quest to finish " he said more seriously then normally.

The red king did his best to take note about how the discomfort he felt was a sign that led to the other uncomfortable events, that one was sick and the other was throw up. That now he was better. The red king was going though all this, there was a lot he was trying to take in and understand. However he stopped with what the tiny Bellezza asked next, he looked over at Glory, his expression faded into sadness and almost a hurt look, is that was going on with him? He was dead but how did he end up this way? How long has he been dead? And who was he?

the red king turned his head and looked back down at his hands, he try to shift though the memories he had or the things he knew but most his memories were a burr, only ones in a while he see Phantoms that would trigger some kind of memory but even though moment would fade "... I didn't kn-..." his words fell short as he spoke them, this news didn't surprise him but he had been this way for all that be /could/ remember so wasn't he alive? There were times he wanted to die...he wanted to end his existence like he was so how could he already be dead already and wish it? And yet as he try to speak the words didn't come out because a part of him knew he was dead. " if the Bellezza of death says I am dead then it must be so...." he said quietly, as he stared down at his hands.

The red king slowly rubbed the silver bracelets, they seem to bring some form of comfort to him, they felt familiar and not at the same time, just like many things did " I.... I don't know how long I been this way... I am sorry, my memories are convoluted... at times it is even difficult to know what is mine and your friends... what I think I remember is taken from me before I can truly reflect on it...I do not even know my own name or if I had one.... " he said quietly, what was his name? It seem no matter how hard he tried to remember, he could not, he even wondered did he have one? Surely he had to...if he was alive at one time, he had to have a name, he had to be more then just a voice....

The red king was trying hard, it was obviously on his face, but all that suffered was a faded memories of a woman "I have memories of a Dreamer woman who I...I-I believe she gave me a name but I can not recall it... I have trouble when it comes to such things... I am sorry I am This way..." the red king looked as if he was about to start crying as he mustard up what he said next "... please forgive me? I do not believe I should be in your friend as I am..." he said honestly but the grief hung in his tone and his demeanor

// the more I fine out about Nightmares the more there just confusing, there know for being very clever but your right, when there not being awful there not the brightest // the Dreamer prince replied, he then chuckled at his brother remark he was going to make a reply about Cook fish didn't smell bad, exactly with good good seasonings and spices but he didn't out of shock from what his brother said next " wait what?! A whole year?! That's disgusting!!// he did think back, in that time Eater never smelled bad but knowing this just made that disturbing // are all Nightmares /that / gross? // he wondered now about Malice's smell...he always had some kind of cologne fragrance // ugh... Nightmares are ready deceptive and nasty//

//Yeah... I dunno, it might be that Eater also just doesn't care. He normally sets himself on fire to burn off all the grime on my body instead of taking a shower, I guess it's faster and more comfortable for a Pyro, but... I don't think it works the same,// Weaver replies, //And with Nightmares smelling good too, I've never gotten any comments about it, either. Now you know though, if I start smelling /too/ good, you need to convince Eater to take a shower for me.//

After saying that telepathically to his friend, the Nightmare makes it through the tunnel. Immediately, pulls the ends of the scarf back down so he can breathe better, then pulls his shirt up, and takes a big sniff. He then blurts out... "I /DO/ SMELL LIKE EIRA!"

Listening to Glory explain, Crystal stayed real quiet, grimacing a bit at the information that the Fairfin was sharing. The girl couldn’t help but again glance at the black goo, guessing that had been what Crimson threw up..

She chewed at her lip and shook her head in thought, everything was getting so much worse, and maybe it was the exhaustion talking, but after today, she just felt so helpless about it all..

At Glory’s warning, Crystal finally spoke up, //We’ll be careful, I’m not sure any of us want to stay here longer than necessary.. Do you know where you are exactly? The safe place, I mean.//

Dr.Kwanzo look up in thought about the Elemental question, he had seen broken before as a Doctor he had many stories about broken people with horrible stories and trauma, he himself was only human and had his own share though out his life time.

The Dr. Shrugged his shoulders with a smirk" I been around a hot minute or two and seen my far share of broken people" he finally said and Looked back to the Elemental " in my experience I found first you have to realize what broken and what not, then you got to ask yourself the big questions, what broke them and why? And what can I do to help And how do I go about that?"

" so my question to you Miss Fiona is how do you think you and your group got this way?"

(Hi, Galaxy! Good to see you!

How're you doing? I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
^-^)

"Of course." The mare stated simply as Jason approached the alleyway. She looked back and reconvened with her fellow teammates. The three Vanguard then did some investigating of their own of the scene, while ensuring that Scarlett was kept secure as well.

Boreas quietly tried piecing together their side of the story along with what Glory told them.
He knew the moment Crimson used that 'very evil magic' must've been when he and Christina sensed something that matched that description.
The pit still seemed a little strange to him--he'd never seen Crimson use any forms of acid... It seemed too close to where he and Glory took shelter, too.

But then his attention was also brought to the pile of goo they'd found near the helmet as Glory explained.
...It was no wonder it gave off such a horrible, disgusting sense. This brought more questions too, however...

The rest of Glory's explanation intrigued him as well, but by the end, he quickly joined Crystal in her mindset. After all they'd already fought, they wouldn't be in any condition to take on a mystery abomination-monster. //Mmhm, lingering is not on my to-do list. There's a lot more to discuss, but it can wait until we're together in safety.//

He glanced to the entrance of the alleyway, catching the sound of Jason's voice approaching.

(Hello! Good to see you too ^^

I’m doing okay, albeit rather sleepy though. xD And yes, I did have a happy Thanksgiving! I got to spend it with my whole household this year, and that’s all I could have hoped for.

How are y’all doing?)

(HI Galaxy! I see you also have been sleepy, I actually took a nap ealier today and passed out before I posted my last post for Weaver 'XD

But that's awesome that you got to have such a nice Thanksgiving! That's really, really nice~ ^-^ )

(Ahhhh, that's awesome that you got to spend Thanksgiving with everybody! ^v^

It seems like it's been a sleepy Sunday. Hope you guys can get some good rest tonight!

I'm doing pretty good! I've been getting back into a character and story mood lately, which has been fun. X)

Fiona listened very attentively, her blue eyes had an intense glow of interest to them. Whatever she needed to do... She wanted to do it.

Then, the doctor answered her. He answered her with a question. It was one that seemed almost painfully obvious...
Why did she feel like there was something she always should've done that she never did? When she wanted to help with something or someone, she always felt like they never had the answers... Or like they still needed to find them, which they never seemed to.

...But no, she needed to think... What did she know...? She started with a deep breath:

"...Well... I... I don't know what's going on with a lot of our group. I know a lot of us have corruption problems... I just learned today that Eira had been missing for four years and then came back corrupted... I think it's the ice on her shoulder, but I don't know what it's from.
I haven't really gotten to know her very well yet...
But during the fight and when we got here, I think she was doing pretty good...?

Her brother Rahab, the griffin who was poisoned with me--I don't think he knows about her corruption, either... He just showed up like... Yesterday?
...He's kind of a jerk, but he's not corrupted."

She thought about the two griffins... Really, she hadn't even known Eira was a griffin either, until recently. She seemed to have been hiding a lot... Her griffin form definitely didn't look so good.

( HI Galaxy! :D
It's good to see you! That wonderful to hear! X3
That why I always love Thanksgiving, it a wonderful time to spend with family ^-^
It really feels like a sleepy day, :'D
I took a nap and been battling the Zzz a bit myself, my Thanksgiving was quite but good still, )

Catch couldn't help the faces he was making as Weaver explain Eater's hygiene, he took note that if a Nightmare smellsgood that a bad thing// I will make sure that Eater takes better care of your body for now on //

Anna had been listening in the whole time but it was now that she spoke up // that just nasty! Next time Eater smells oddly good I'm getting a bar of soap! //

Catch agree with his Fairfin partner, she thought were
Interrupted when he heard his brother voice faintly through the hole, he gave a sympathetic smile// I'll try to focus on something but I don't know if it help // with that, the Dreamer prince did his best to think about other things he liked the smell of, he wasn't sure of it would work but it was worth a shot

"Man..." Weaver grumbles under his breath, glancing around at the open space he's now in, and noticing something at the far end of the room. But, for now, he looks back to the opening he just crawled out of, and focuses on what his friends have been saying. //If I could, I'd appreciate knowing you both have my back and my hygiene, and Purity too,// he says telepathically, then informs them, //The hole's safe to crawl through too, so you can come on over. And hey, I mean--if you somehow get stuck, I can pull you through the rest of the way, with my chain...//

The Nightmare goes quiet after that... but after taking a breath, he collects himself, and looks back towards the thing he saw in the distance. It looks vaguely like a bathtub, and from what he's seeing with his Nightmare eyes, he's pretty sure Malice is right there... "... Hey! Malice, it's just me, Catch, and Anna, I'm sure you can probably sense us..." he calls out, being the least aggressive he can be, despite being rather uneasy, knowing what he and Catch are coming up against, "We're not here to try to kill you or anything, we're here to help. And ask questions. We'll be there in just a second."

Again, Morning Glory quietly listens to everyone, making sure to focus on things one at a time, starting with Crystal and Boreas. //We're at some kind of hidden facility, at first it looked like a barn, but as we came closer, the illusions faded and the barn-like structures became something of a palace. There's a park outside too, I think I remembered it looked rather pretty before the illusions even wore off, it's a nice place. I'm trying to remember the name of the facility... Some kind of center for something. I'll get a name for you in just a moment.//

While she plans on asking one of the nearby doctors what the name of this place is, she's still in the middle of a conversation with... whoever this is inside Crimson. //... There is one thing, I must warn you for when you get here... Crimson's not... ... Well, I guess the best way to describe this is, Crimson's possessed. He's not here at the moment, and someone else is in control of his body...// she tells Crystal and Boreas, her sad and concerned tone coming through clearly. //When we got here, a dragon mentioned some things with Crimson, that there's a great evil inside him, and that there's two... people, one of which is dead already... I've been talking with this new person for a little while now, and he seems really, really upset by all this too, he's not happy that he's in control of Crimson's body, but he doesn't know anything, he's telling me right now he doesn't know who or what he is, not even his own name. He keeps apologizing to me still... but he did mention earlier, that he thinks that Crimson is sleeping at the moment. I'm thinking this new person is the one who's dead, and somehow or another, his spirit is inside of Crimson... You'll just have to remember this when you get here, as long as his eye is green, I think that means this other person's in control.//

Then, she finally speaks up to the Red King. "I... I'm not upset at you, you don't sound like you had anything to do with this," she quietly says, carefully hopping up onto his lap just enough to put her paw on his hand. "You sound like you're just as much a victim in this as Crimson is... I could be wrong, but with you having no memory of anything, and with how upset you are, too... I'm not going to blame you for anything you might've had nothing to do with. I am upset that this is happening to a friend, but... I don't know if there's much we can do to help him at the moment, if he's sleeping..." The scrawny Dawn Fairfin smiles sadly at the Red King, and continues, saying, "So, don't feel too bad... Ok? If you're innocent, me and my friends can try to help you, too. How about we start with what memories you do have, like the Dreamer woman who gave you a name? Can you remember anything about her?"

Dr.Kwanzo took his pen and started to take notes on what the Elemental said but said nothing as she spoke.
Death had been sitting quietly in his spot, he noticed the Doctor taken notes so he did the same, the Bellezzas flipped a Paw up and a with a magic whisper a book formed, kinda, it stayed in a transparent state. The book hovered just above his paw, the Bellezzas then took one of his ribbons up to this featherly crest and pulled out a plume, though it appeared that this one wasn't attached in the first place, but was more there like how a person would hold a pencil behind their ear. Death took the quill and began to take notes
" hmmm..... unknown about stuff going on in group...just how big is the group? Are there more then 8 of them?...uh-huh... that interesting....Eira had been missing for four years?! That doesn't sound like a vacation at all....who is Eira? A her? Griffin with corrupted ice?... what! I got it! She the spooky looking one!" He quickly put that down into his notes
" need to investigate in freaky evil ice magic cause... hmmmm need to look into that..." he then slow down and moved onto the next person Fiona mentioned"...jurk? Oh no... I don't like jurks...is the other Griffin her brother or are there more Griffins?... I don't know if I want to meet her brother if he a jurk...but why is he a jurk? .... hmmm, corruption can be more then what it seems... hopefully it just an attitude check..." he thinks out loud, the Bellezzas knew the worst form of corruption wasn't so simple as getting infected buying evil dark magic that change you...the worst and most deadly was when a person invites evil into their hearts willing... a moral choice between right and wrong. " could just be rough around the corners "

" edges" the Doctor correct the Bellezza, he then looked to the Elemental and clap " well it seem you know some things so don't cut yourself to short missy, now my I ask just why haven't you been able to chat with your comrades?"

Fiona turned her head to look at Death as he started taking oral notes. She was briefly distracted by the very magical book in his paw, but she soon started paying attention more to what he was saying.
"...Well, he's just /kind of/ a jerk... He helped us out a lot earlier."
The Elemental furrowed her brow when the Bellezza mentioned corruption being more than what it seems.

Then she turned to face the Doctor again when he asked his question. Her eyebrows knit and her lip puckered--a look of deep thought.
"Today's been really crazy, just one big thing after another since we woke up... But I think... Even before that...
It was hard to keep everyone together. We were separated a lot. I don't even remember seeing everyone that often. We'd just get somewhere new, and the next thing ya know, we're all running off, doing different things...
...I thought Eira might've been hiding things, but I think a bigger reason why I didn't know this stuff sooner was because /I never saw her./
...Or really asked much about her in the first place." The Elemental stared up at the ceiling with this realization.
"There are a lot more than 8 of us, too."

Edgar got himself up right, he sat there trying to figure out what he should do next. He glace over to Boreas and then back over to the helmet, he reached his arm over and picked up the golf club and then carefully poked the helmet for good measure...

"Yo Edgar, what you find buddy?" Jason called to his drone, he stood in the Alleyway entrance, as he walked forward he wave a hand to the human girl and the Elemental " hay Freckles! Hay Admiral! What going on her-! What is that! It's disgusting!" He said and covered his mouth with his arm, the black goop smelled just as bad as the big pit.

The red king didn't say anything at first, there was so much he didn't know or understand but he was trying to, but he just couldn't and it felt hopeless.

However His green eye widened when he felt something, something small but warm? He turned his eye over to what it was, to the tiny Bellezza small paw on his hand, was this what being touched felt like? He just stared at Glory with a mixture of emotions on his face, many he didn't know the words to what Sensations he was experiencing.
The red king didn't know what to think about the tiny Bellezza encouraging words, he was sacred and deeply troubled, something felt like it binded him with shackles and chains, that he couldn't believe that he was innocent...

The red king mouth opened slightly as if he was going to say something about this but the conversation moved on and so he looked away as he try to move on himself.... the red king try to focus on the events that happen early that day but to him he couldn't tell you that it was in the same day or week, year or hundreds of years, he had no concept of time " she... she was a Dreamer... I don't know what else to say...she had a pleasant voice... " the red king was grasping at straws on how to describe the woman, at the time he couldn't see colors and even now he didn't know what names went to what color " she..." his face scrunched into a frown " had ribbons from her crown... and kind eyes... sad but kind.... she had a two leg form at first...yes, that right... I remember that
....I... I heard her voice, she reached into the darkness and was calling out..." the red king slowly turned his eye up as if he was reliving the scene in his " I...I-I wanted to die...I just wanted to stop being this way....I'm tried of being alone...I see people, I try to warn them but I'm nothing... Why can I not help them? why am I this way? If I am nothing then why do I exist?.... why can I not die?...but I heard her... she reached her hand into the darkness " he said as tears formed in his eye, he slowly did his best to reach his hand up " she...she... I think she was wanting to save me?...I... I never had anyone come for me...but I..." then a troubled look turn to horrified as his hand fell back down, his memories of what happened next " t-he ...the demon came..."

The Nightmare king had been cat napping in his tub, but that had ended a little while ago, he knew the 3 were coming....

Malice peak his head up just enough so that his yellow eyes cleared the rim of the bathtub, and there, there was the Nightmare who stole some of his power...and the thing was with him to that he despised... even though Malice was the Nightmare king, 2 against 1 wasn't favorable odds in his condition... he lowered his head back down into the tub, looking more like a cat hiding in a box that didn't want to be seen.

// well one day soon you be able to feel again, well get back your heart and kick Eater out of you brother!// Catch said hopefully //haha hopefully you won't have to, I know I'm married now but I don't think I gain any weight that fast // he teased, the Dreamer prince
then got down on his hands and knees and started into the hole...after a bit of time passed Catch and Anna came out the other side. // Alright, we're is he?//

While he can't feel his own emotions... Weaver does find it rather comforting to be able to feel Catch's hopeful spirit returning, and it helps him bounce back too. He makes some teasing comments back to Catch too, about weight, as his friend comes along.

Now that Catch and Rihanna both are through the tunnel, Weaver pats his brother on the shoulder once, before pointing with his other hand. //Over there... I dunno if you can see it, but there's what looks like a bathtub over there. I saw two beady little yellow dots gleaming at me from the tub, too. He hasn't moved, from what I can tell,// he says, then adds on, //This place is huge, and there's all these pillars supporting the ceiling here. Lots of junk on the floor too, fallen debris, that kinda stuff. You ready? Anna, you too?//

Death look down from his notes at the Elemental " oh! T-hat a relief" he then put it in his notes ' kind a jurk'
Dr.Kwanzo let out a sighed and shrug his shoulders " kids these days no nothing about sportsmanship and alike of it " he then put a hand to his chinn in deep thought " with what you said, you now have a base to go off of, I think the next order of business your group needs is to sit down and talk... you kids these days are always in so much of a hurry to go no where, some sitting and thinking is what I suggest "

" you can say it's doctor's orders?' Death chime in peeking over his notes book at Dr.Kwanzo

" your getting better " Dr.Kwanzo reply with a rises eyebrow at the Bellezzas

The girl nodded to herself while Glory described where she was and what it looked like, //That does sound like a nice place.//

When there was a pause, Crystal turned and followed Boreas shifted gaze out to the alley entrance, surprised when she saw Jason approaching them. She had been so concentrated on Glory she hadn’t heard him. “Hey, Jason, how-“ she started, but didn’t get anything more out before the boy took notice of the goo and reacted to it.

She also didn’t say anything else because she stopped to listen to Glory again. What was said next caused her to freeze. Crystal had many questions and concerns about Crimson being /possessed/, but as Boreas said a moment ago, it could wait until they were actually together in person. She just took a breath and replied, not at all sure what to say now, //So long as they’re okay, that’s what matters, the rest we can hopefully figure out when the time comes..//

//A holy place.// Boreas mentally remarked, remembering the way Glory described it earlier.

Then Jason entered the alleyway and reacted to part of what they'd discovered. The Elemental took a breath, "Concentrated dark magic in vomit form that should not be left here." He stated very bluntly, explaining in as few words as possible before gesturing 'one minute,' to Jason.

...Then he also tuned in to Glory's explanation on Crimson, being just a tad late after shifting his focus to Jason.
He was just in time to catch, 'Crimson's possessed.'
Boreas' brow furrowed as he listened along with Crystal. This was yet another /completely unheard-of/ development... It brought another multitude of rather urgent questions...
Or even partial answers to previous ones.

Still, once again, he agreed with Crystal. No matter how unnerving this news was, Crimson and that group were alright for the time being. They couldn't focus on their questions now--they needed to move. //Thank you for the info, Glory. We'll be heading to you ASAP.//

(I think Shadow's dead... We're probably gonna call it a night here 'XD )

(Yeah, it is super late. X'D
