Happy New Year! :)

OH MY GOODNESS FLUFFY THIS IS AMAZING!! I LOVE IT!! ITS SO CUTE AND CLEVER!! X'

I adore this too! X'D It's so amazing, Fluffy!

" she's certainly not a grape, but I think we can help her out " Dr.Kwanzo replied back, he didn't even blink when Fiona snap her friend defense. He was old and had a spunky attitude to.

the Doctor moved on to what she said next " that would be a good thing to put on your to do list, but rest first " Dr.Kwanzo point a finger at the blue woman, he then looked over to Death and scratched his nose " we will do what we can for her " he simply puts.
The Bellezzas are blessed creatures, their purity keeps then from getting sick, good for them but unfortunately that means dealing with a sick Bellezza is almost unheard of but that didn't mean they wouldn't do there best to help her.

Death made some swishes in his notebook as he got done. He then put it away in his portal he pulled it out off, the Grim Reaper tap his fingers together as he thought of what to do or ask next

Fiona just stared at the doctor with his first response, looking rather displeased.
That didn't stop her from being happy that Glory would get help. After a quiet moment, the Elemental still gave a genuine thanks. "We've been trying to help her by linking her with people who have light magic, but if she can get more help, that would be even better."

Then she did as she was told and rested while continuing to eat her apple.
She knew Glory must've been awake... The Fairfin was with Crimson the last she knew.
Thinking about him made her start remembering the panic that had happened when they arrived at this place. She still was trying to get it all straightened out.

She also finished off her apple very quickly--in fact, she was so busy thinking, she looked like she would just eat the parts you're not supposed to, too.

Penelope listen quietly as Glory explains, the name of her kind, the Fairfin really stood out to her... and even more so as Glory went into further detail about her species and their bond with Dreamers. She had heard of such a species but Glory was the first she had seen, the gift of the Silver moons.
Her heart broke in hearing the Fairfins tale in the bond between Dreamers and her kind, that it was her and her kinds duty to protect the Dreamers from becoming Nightmares, a wicked species that even she knew about.
She looked over at the sleeping Crimson, she gently squeeze his hand, it was truly troubling about the Souls within this child, she knew it could not be coincidence that he was a Bellezzas as well... " we will do whatever we can to help Crimson and the gentleman inside him " after making her promise, the Bellezzas looked up at the Fairfin with the same yearning eyes " we will do are best for you and your partner, no one deserves a Fate like this " she said then looked back down at the sleeping king..

Who was the mystery man? She since that Crimson was part Bellezzas but what of the man? She could since something from him to but was he one or was it do to him fusing with Crimson? She did not know, but this evil disgusted her.

Penelope then sat on the edge of the bed, she wasn't about to leave the kings side, she knew what this was had to be one of the unspoken evils...

As she sat there, her mind jumped back and forth between the red king and what Glory was, she pondered the meaning behind the name Fairfin, Fair being impartial, but also meaning reasonable, that sounds right by what Glory said, Other meaning could be to smooth a surface to prepare it for being joined to another, by what Glory said a bound is formed between them and Dreamers, these all seem like fitting meanings by what Glory said a Fairfin does, but what about Fin? A fin was was used to steer and guide, but Fin also meant end, boundary' or 'limit, to have a final, finish, and definition.... It seem that what Glory said her kind was meant to be a boundary? But then one thing stuck out as she looked down on Glory Fin also meant 5...

Penelope look up as it hit her, Why would someone attach number 5 to a name?... to a creature like a Bellezza? // Fin... could it be? They mean the 5th?...//

Morning Glory turns to look up at Penelope when the Bellezza makes her promise, a small smile on her face. "Thank you so much, it means a lot," she says, "I'll try to do my best for all of them, too, I don't want to fail Weaver again, I don't want to fail Crimson, either... I've got hope, though, even if things are really, really bad right now for the both of them, I believe things will work out alright for the boys. We know now that Weaver's soul is back, so we just need to find his heart, and then figure out how to undo the Nightmare curse, and we know now too that, well... There's something really, /really/ awful happening to Crimson, and he's possessed by a demon and a nice guy. That's more than what we had before."

... But, after talking so much, Glory finds herself somewhat out of breath, rather tired. She breathes out a big sigh, and lets herself slump a little bit again as she sits next to Crimson. "... I still don't feel the greatest, but... I feel so much better now than I did just hours ago..." she mutters.

Malice had his paw on his hurting head when Weaver gave his offer, his ears twitchde and he laid there staring as he contemplated on what to do, it was risky but he needed to do something or he would be killed eventually...

"...if trying to prove yourself that you can be trusted, and don't want me to die, then get me the blood of a Nightmare... " The Nightmare king growled.

" wait. what?! The blood of a Nightmare?" Catch replied taken back by what was asked " why do you need that? "

" I like to know were he expected us to find a Nightmare besides Waker and Eater to!" Anna chime in to with her $0.02.

" were you get the blood dosen't matter at this point! " Mal snapped and then popped his head over the rim of the tub to further chew them out " Waker has already given blood, if you have forgotten Nightmares have healing pools in which they use to heal themselves. Why do you think I'm in this tub to begin with?!"

Weaver blinks when he hears Malice's request, and glances back at Catch when he hears him and Anna speak up. //... Waker's already given him some blood... and there's likely no other Nightmare around here, on top of that, even if there were, how would the two of us take down a Nightmare in the condition we're both in...? We're in a pickle now, I hate the idea of using anything's blood for anything already, but... We don't really have a choice, do we? Don't be too upset, Catch...// He keeps those thoughts to himself as he glances to Catch again and chuckles nervously, giving his brother an equally nervous smile. "Well... I'm a Nightmare..." he quietly says, then turns back to Malice, taking his hat off and reaching his hand in to find something in his pocket dimension. "I should probably have something sharp in here, and I guess we don't have to do anything /too/ drastic for, uh... this 'blood transfusion'..."

(CAT GANG!!!

Yeee, you're welcome Shadow! I was originally just going to draw Death being adorable and anime, but then the realization hit that this was essentially our new years RP.

/so then cats/)

(I forgot about Jason and that whole interaction, hang on)

When only Sparky reacted and responded to Boreas’ greeting call, Crystal couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong.. She knew the Dreamer had been out there today too, and although she didn’t know what else he had seen or been through on top of helping with Glory and Crimson’s rescue against what had been some extremely terrifying monster in an undoubtedly extremely stressful situation, surely Terra would have at least turned to look their way.. The girl wanted to think that maybe there was a possibility he was simply resting, but something told her that wasn’t the case..

Crystal also wanted to say something, but wasn’t quite sure what, so when Jason spoke up with his question, she decided to wait to see what would be said next. She did, however, take the chance to slide down off Jason’s back, both to ease things up for him and because it seemed they wouldn’t need to be quick to escape anything here.

----

Upon receiving a response only from Sparky, Boreas went quiet and let Jason ask his question. Being a Shadowhunter who had been sent with groups on near suicide missions in the past, Boreas was all too familiar with the way Terradream appeared at that moment. He wondered if it were simply what they had recently escaped from that had caused it, or if there were more to it... They didn't have many details to go off of.

For now, he silently waited for Sparky's reply to Jason.

"I got him! He's in bad shape, mentally, but we'll be alright!" Sparky calls back to Jason, then adds, "If you see Fiona in there though, let her know that Terra's calmed down, and he'll be ok! She doesn't need to worry too much about him!"
Looking back up at his partner, Sparky lightly pats his hand. "Look, Terra, it's Crystal, Boreas, some Vaseterm, and another orange haired guy! They made it too, and they're ok. They're alive."

But Terra still doesn't say anything... He does wonder though...
//... Which would be better at this point...? To be dead or alive... Maybe if they don't come back as ghosts, it'd be better for them...//

" oh, alright man... " Jason replied, he didn't want to press the issue if Sparky had it under control but that didn't make seen Terra like that any better, but what could they do? Was it time that Terra needed? It seems that way...

Jason knew They also needed to find the others to, he seen the building across the fountain and thought that be a good place to start looking but he didn't want to leave without saying something.

The Orange horse hung is head low and said " dude if you need any thing at all, we'll be inside looking for the others, just holler on link and we'll come " start on his way towards the farm house.

" Weaver! Your not seriously thinking about cutting yourself?!" Anna pointed and she scolded her childhood friend, she then looked over towards the Nightmare king and narrowed her eyes at him " you better not take to much you blood suckin tic-!" Her words were cut short by Catch covering her head with his hand to quiet his partner. He gave the Nightmare king an nervous apologetic smile the last thing they needed was to make Malice mad again and start back at Square One again.

Malice growled and rattled his chains a little when Anna snapped at him but the Nightmare king settled back down, he didn't like the idea of Eater giving him blood with how a freak he was, but Malice was injured in his instincts to survive keep out the suspicious thoughts he would have of himself absorbing something freaky to, like Weaver... no right now all Malice cared about was surviving and seen this was Dreameater Malice was hungry for some of his power that Omen forced Eater to steal from him in the first place.

Hearing Malice's threatening sounds didn't help the Dreamer conference in this offer, Dreamcatcher gives Weaver a ' don't be crazy look' even though he was thinking the same thing and why he covered Anna face, because technically Weaver was the only available Nightmare... that still didn't make the Dreamer feel any better about this on the whim plan, the feeling of unsettledness only grew when his brother took off his hat started to dig around for something that he assumed was going to be Sharp." promise me you won't attempt to hurt or kill my brother for doing this?" Catch found the courage to ask Malice but when he turned to look at the Nightmare king, Malice was just peaking over the rim of the bathtub again, no sound came from the Nightmare king at all, just his yellow glowing eyes staring into them...

Dreamweaver only swallows when Anna pipes up and snaps at the Nightmare King, for now he keeps his head down and mutters to himself. "... Looks like I've got plenty of chocolate in here... What all do I even have in here, anyway? It's been so long since I've dumped all my stuff out and looked through it..." Feeling how unnerved Catch is too isn't helping Weaver feel any better either, but he's trying his best not to think about it too hard... "Knife, knife, come on, it's gotta be in here somewhere, what's a Shadow Hunter without a basic hunting knife...? Uh, hmm... Ah, here it is!" He pulls a small hunting knife out of his pocket dimension, then hesitates, staring at it for a moment before looking back at Catch and Anna. "... I know, I don't like this either, guys, but I don't think there's anything else we can do, given our circumstances... Hey, I should be alright though, being a Nightmare and all...?"

After quietly saying these things, though, he turns his eyes over to Malice, noticing how quiet the King has become, and feeling the emotions he's giving off...

Catch hadn't really heard his brother muttering about the contents of his hat, his focus was on the Nightmare king before them and his Eerie silence, the Dreamer prince couldn't make out the dark figure of Malice's monstrous wolf form amongst the shadows that submerged the room but something did feel different...

// guys... is something up with him?// Anna spoke up first.

Catch glace down at his Fairfin in his arms //she must feel it to //He thought to himself, the Dreamer prince didn't want to lose sight of the yellow glow of Malice's eyes " Malice? " he asked and when their was no reply Catch gave a side glace to his brother // can you see what going On? Something doesn't feel right //

Malice's did not blink, his fine glowing yellow slip pupils were locked on to the brothers

//Uh... He's not moving or anything as far as I can tell...// Weaver replies, //He's tense, I think we can all feel that coming off of him, but why? Is it because I got my knife out? I don't really know what to do...//
After saying that telepathically to his brother, he tries to calmly tell Malice, "Hey... Hey, I'm not gonna try to do anything to you, remember? I've got this knife out because you need my blood..."

" that good to know, I'll let the others know to, I'm sure what you done has helped your little friend "Dr.Kwanzo took down some more notes with that, that they to form links. There was much they still needed to know, and he wasn't just thinking about his people ether. " not now, but in a hot minute I like to ask you some questions but after your done and rested "

Death got to wondering about that, if the tiny Bellezza were linked and could communicate with each other could he do the same but in his own way... he had an idea

Fiona dug her teeth into the core of her apple, but quickly stopped as she realized what she was doing. The Elemental blinked at the finished fruit, then made a long reach to the tray on the end table to put it away.

She was still hyper-focused on Glory and Crimson. What was happening with them now? What /had/ happened earlier?

...And what about Terra? He and Crimson seemed to have it the worst... She couldn't stop thinking about it, she had to ask more about them.

However, the moment she opened her mouth, the doctor interrupted, saying, 'zip your lip--you need rest.'
Anyone could guess the kind of expression on her face then... She kept trying a few more times, but received no response.
...And poor Death just sat there, awkwardly witnessing that.

Frustrated as she was, Fiona could feel that Kwanzo was right. So, after a deep sigh, and a while longer to calm down, the Elemental eventually passed out again.

Crystals eyebrows knitted with concern at Sparky’s reply, she let Jason do the talking but she did give a little nod at the last thing the boy said.

Her gaze lingered on Terra for a moment longer, and even though her voice lacked much volume she said, “it’s good to you guys,” with a small smile and dip of her head before turning and following Jason’s lead.

Boreas already agreed with what the other members of their little group had said to the ghosts. "Will do. Will be sure to check back later, too." He added his own two cents at the very end.

The Captain then followed along with Jason and Crystal towards the barn, wondering what they would find inside. He was more than ready to reconvene with other people he knew... And get some answers.

// yeah I can feel it to// Catch replied // I feel it// Anna chime in to. // we said we're wouldn't kill him and if we were, I wouldn't try it with a small knife // but something was getting Malice even more on edge then what he already was.

But as the small group of Spectators watched the Nightmare king he only started to lose it more.

The Nightmare king try to stand as he roared
" It's impossible! You're dead! " but his voice carried fear in it and his injuries caused him to slip in the slimy tub.

The chains in the room rattled as Malice fell back down

"Woah, woah woah!" Weaver exclaims as he backs up a few steps away from Malice, quickly putting his hat back on and holding out that free hand to get Malice to stop. "I'm not dead! Hey, I know you think the Dreamer's should die, and I kinda did, but I'm back, and--let's just not think about it too much right now, alright?! I'm sure you're mostly fine, Malice, other than your wounds that we're trying to help you with!"

//What's suddenly gotten into him?! I told him already that I'm not Eater! That I'm back in my body and everything!!// Weaver then mentally yells at Anna and Catch, //I mean I knew he's super on edge, but I didn't think... We've gotta calm him down somehow, think, uh, what can we do...?!//

Jason didn't want to leave Terra and Sparky like that but there wasn't much for them to do. Others then be there when they were ready.
The small group approach the barn house, it didn't seem nothing to out of the ordinary other then it was nice and clean for a recycling plant...
Edgar made some whistling and beeping noises at that fact.
" dude. I think we all know there some kind of spell going on, im sure it's like our place, people from the outside see old buildings next to Wildlife Preserve, but really it's our home..." he got quite with that last part, something Twisted in his gut, that This radio silence was different from before but he had to stay on task.
The Vanguard in her humanoid form went to the door first, nothing felt wrong here but she still was cautious as she open the door...

She ready herself as she peek in, but all she seen was Receptionist desk and cats... lots of cats.
" it looks clear " she said

Jason and the Mares went on inside, " Yo! Dudes! Were here looking for a group of people that we been looking for!" The Orange stallion hollered and then added in a quieter tone" Uh.. please?" Filling he should be a bit more mannered here.

"AHHHH! I hope I-'m not to late!" Came a distant voice. It sounded like it was in a different room but was getting closer.

The room began to change shape staring from a back door, everything grew in size and beauty.
The back door opens up to reveal the voice who called back, and it was none other but the Grim Reaper himself.

Death had the silver tray with Fiona's dirty dishes on it still in his hands, he had left their after she fell asleep and had got the message from the guards outside that the next set of people were there " H-ello! And w-elcome to Paradise Phoenix recycling plant!" The Grim Reaper huffed out of breath but his eyes were still smiling.

The cats in the room came more alive thinking that the tray he brought with him was for them, they began to mew and surround him

Penelope bow her head to Glory " it is a blessed water of the Silver moons, its rich with order " she gave the Fairfin a playfully smile when she overheard Glory talk about her soup" you are free to eat it at your own leisure, if you wish we can even warm it for a later time "

She then placed a hand on the red king and closed her eyes, though no words were spoken something could be felt, her spell one's again...
" I reassured my spell on him, with the conflict inside I do not know how long my spell will last in my absence.."
When Penelope opened her eyes she placed Crimsons hands on top of each other and made sure he was comfortable ".. .this curse is powerful, I have never felt something so sinister as what sleep within your friend... and the soul with no name, I do not know who will waken but even now he becomes Restless... I do not believe he means harm but please be vigilant "

Penelope then gets up " I will return shortly miss Glory " she then gives a small bow and heads toward the door to go retrieve what she said.

Glory was now left with a sleeping prince and a hand full of staff members
