Who I'm with- Why'nn-(@folclor


What I'm doing- Just can't sleep.


Scarlet only got what seemed like seconds of sleep before she sat straght up. "The fucking mindscape!" She knew that's how James has fucked up her first plan. No no no he wasn't doing that anymore. She saw Why'nn had came too and judging by her sounds she was having fun. Scarlet cut the lights and peeled back the towel so she could see Why'nn's eyes. They appeared dull. "You're almost there already. " she smiled and pressed a button on her mask. The tiny jewel began to glimmer and give off a strobe effect.


"You are falling into a deep trance Why'nn. All thoughts are stopping. You are even cut off from the mindscape. Just you floating in blissful nothingness."

Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ), Scarlet (@StartingOver )


What I'm doing: Saving Why'nn


As soon as Nishira had left, James picked up his weapons and followed Why'nn's trail, all the way to Nishira's quarters. James stood outside, hesitating for a moment before he felt Why'nn vanish from the Mindscape. That could only mean that the hypnosis must be starting, and he had no time to waste.


Gritting his teeth, James pulled on the door, only to discover that he'd gotten lucky and it was unlocked. Scarlet must've forgotten to do that. She leaned over Why'nn attempting to hypnotize her. James stepped forward, staff at the ready.


"Let go of her."

What I'm doing: Making a bigger mess


Mr. Deeds's organs spilled out of his front, and his lifeless body collapsed to the ground. But the second Nishira took her eyes off of him, she would feel a sharp pain in her back as Mr. Deeds thrust his folding knife into where her lower spine should be.

With: Nishira(@folclor )


Doing: Defending my good name


Zerek raised an eyebrow behind his mask, still staring impassively at Nishira. "Now now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I will claim responsibility for stopping the fires, but Manara was all the work of that guy with the box on his head. You really think I can take Manara in my old age? I'm flattered." Zerek, in an impressive display of not pissing himself that the goddess of the demiplane was angry with him, burst out into brief laughter. "And what is it that you want? A boy toy to relieve all that build up stress? You know my number, you could have just called." Zerek knew that he would be seiged the second she figured out where he actually was, so the only option was to delay things as long as possible. "I thought my escape told you something already. I will NEVER bow down to you."

Doing: Weird Science!


As the dispell failed, Reagan smirked. '100%' Reagan blinked a good 20 feet above Iana and hovered in place, raining lightning down on her back from above. Her wings had reached full charge. Whenever Iana changed direction, Reagan simply blinked behind and above her again and continued the assault, making sure to keep airborne. 'I can only keep this up for a minute before I'm out. Just drop already!'

What I'm doing/ winning


"Don't listen to a word James says. You will remain in a deep thoughtless trance in till I tell you to awake Why'nn. Madam Spider is here to help James Is not. "She smiles and looks up. Why'nn was disconnected from the mindscape and now she had just sealed him off completely.


"Face facts kid, you just lost. " she stood.


"Want me to be honest with you. I'm going to put her back to normal. I was ordered to prove myself, not brianwash her." She looked around. "If I call for Nishira she's going to come and this won't end well for you. Take my word for once. If you don't believe me ask dear "Imalia. She likes me."
 
Location: ???/Courtyard


Who I am with: ??? (@StartingOver @TommyGun15)/Zerek (@shadowstrikr25) and the butler


What I am doing: Pretty... pr...pretty.../Everything dies


Why'nn tried to reach out to touch the pretty light, but the words made everything heavy and relaxed. Her mind was so slow. So hard to think. Didn't want to think. No more thoughts. Her mind quickly fell, becoming blank. Her mind floated, disconnected. Everything was so soft, smooth. Everything felt good. So comfy. Her eyes were locked on the flashing jewel, her hand played with the silk around it, her mouth still half-open. The soft coos did not stop. These were utterly different than the sounds James heard from Why'nn earlier in the day. These were the sounds of an innocence, a stolen childhood.


It wouldn't be hard for James to extrapolate the reason she'd fallen so quickly. This felt safe and she hadn't had that luxury growing up. This felt good. She was able to not think and feel like it was all going to be okay. This was the closest she would get to experience any sort of a childhood.


Madam Spider was friend. James wasn't there to help. She accepted this as if it was fact.


---


Nishira glared at Zerek, approaching him. That was, until she felt the pain in her back, she whirled, backhanding the butler. "Stay out of this, old man!" She continued her advance on her former student.


"Oh, I know you're not here. I know you're somewhere else entirely. But how will you hide in the city, Zerek, when there's no city left?"


The ground split open in the city square. Screams and shouts were raised as similar holes began appearing, seemingly at random, across the land.
 



Location: Nishira's Room


Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ), Scarlet (@StartingOver )


What I'm doing: Confronting Scarlet


James glared at Scarlet with disgust. He clearly didn't buy her story.


"Really? Because last I saw Nishira was in the courtyard, looking pretty busy with some interlopers. Besides, you're doing a pretty poor job of proving yourself if you have to go crying to Nishira for help every time I show up. It's a pretty poor teacher that needs the headmistress's help to control her students."


James tilted his head as he heard soft screams from the direction of the city.


"Besides, it sounds like Nishira isn't in the mood to deal with your bullshit right now."





Location: The Courtyard


Who I'm with: Zerek (@shadowstrikr25 ), Nishira (@folclor )


What I'm doing: Making a bigger mess


Mr. Deeds went flying into a wall, but not a second later a gunshot rang out as Mr. Deeds, a bit farther away, fired his Derringer at Nishira's back. He quickly squeezed the trigger again, sending another nearly half inch diameter bullet at her back.
 
Location- Nishira's room


Who I'm with- James(@TommyGun15 Imalia(@folclor


What I'm doing- protecting this dim boy.


"Don't mistake me using Nishira as a sign that I'm not stronger than you dolt. I don't wish to harm you." She stood ready to cast mind spells but she to heard the screams and felt the anger that Nishira was feeling. "Boy if she comes here after and you're still here... It's going to end badly. You will be tourted and she will make me take Why'nn from you forever." There was a level of caution in her voice not seen before. She was dead serious.


"Imalia... I remember my promise to keep him safe, but right now he won't listen. Get him out of here please!" She sent a call out hoping Imalia would hear. She could save this boy, before the plans to enslave him got fast tracked to today.
 
Location: Hallways


Who I'm with: No one, mentally James (@TommyGun15)


What I'm doing: Checking with my apprentice


Imalia frowned as she received Scarlet's message. She'd been pacing the halls like a worried mother, but at this she stopped, closed her eyes, and opened a communication line with James.


"James. Where are you? What's going on?" Her tone was measured, thoughts calm. She felt his emotions through the binding, but she knew it was very important to limit interference. If this was about Why'nn... No, she didn't particularly care about the girl, but Delrick's apprentice seemed to be getting James into trouble and she'd rather him be less in the spotlight at the moment.
 



Location: Nishira's Room


Who I'm with: Why'nn, Imalia (@folclor ), Scarlet (@StartingOver )


What I'm doing: Confronting Scarlet


James glared at Scarlet as he answered Imalia.


"I'm fine Mistress. I'm just having a talk with Scarlet. I was just going to ask her to show me a bit of what she knows. Knowledge from any source after all."


"You know what? I'm starting to think you aren't more powerful than me. If you're a strong as you act, you would've have me rolling over for you back in the Arena. I think you couldn't control me even if you wanted to. So why don't we make a little bet. We'll limit our little fight to our minds, and see whose will and magic are stronger. If I win, I walk out of here with Why'nn. If you win, you can present me to Nishira afterwards. That should more than prove your worth."

Who I'm with-James(@TommyGun15 ) and Imalia through thought(@folclor


What I'm doing- trying to explain


Scarlet was sure Imalia was trying to talk to James but she couldn't trust the boy to tell the whole story. He didn't know everything.


"Nishira wants Why'nn's enslavement to start tonight Imalia. James has fought me tooth and nail. He's faught Nishira. You can sense these tremors and her anger. If she comes to this room and finds that he is stopping me. Well you might lose him. This is all I can do to try and save him. He wants to fight me... Get him now!"


"Fool, I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU!" She yelled losing her cool. "I don't want to give you to Nishira. I want to see you be with Imalia. "

What I'm doing: Confronting Scarlet


James smirked, then started to laugh.


"My god. You're calling for help right now aren't you? You're trying to stall for time until Nishira or someone else shows up and does the hard work for you. Pathetic."


James pulled down his tunic to show Scarlet the seven pointed star brand on his chest.


"This brand is the mark of my binding to both Nishira, and Imalia. If she really didn't want me to oppose you, don't you think she'd have shut me down with this by now. For all you know, she sent me to test you."


James started to walk toward Why'nn, not even looking at Scarlet anymore.


"I'll give you until I walk over to Why'nn, pick her up, and leave, to decide if you want to face me or not. I'm willing to accept the consequences of my actions. The question is, are you willing to face Nishira, and tell her you've failed?"
 
Location: Hallways


Who I'm with: Mentally Scarlet (@StartingOver)


What I'm doing: Sighing


Imalia got the message, but knew she couldn't interfere. She didn't send a message back concerning Scarlet's plea. All she said was, "I'm proud of you, Lettie. You're still in there. You've always been a sweet girl. Remember yourself. ...And remember, as corny as it sounds, I do love you. My sweet Lettie... do as you know to be true and good. Follow your own instincts and wants." The enchantress sighed, realizing, as she looked down, that her form was fading. Tears wet her eyes but she willed them away. "If I happen to be gone later... take care of James."
 
Location- Nishira's room.


Who I'm with- James(@TommyGun15


What I'm doing- oh well.


Scarlet started to laugh. "Well well well. It looks like Imalia doesn't give a shit about you after all. I tried to get her to take you and she doesn't care. You see boy." She stepped


In front of him. "You've got this idea that I have to prove something to you. I don't have to show you shit. All I care about is my mission and if I can get someone to solve my problems for me then well, that's all part of the game." She laughed more. "You think I care if Nishira rips you apart? Short answer is no." She sat down on the bed and looked up at him.


"You asked for this."

James raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised that Scarlet had agreed, then walked forward and sat across from her on the bed. He looked her in the eyes, his mind steeled.


"Somehow, I get the feeling we'd end up doing this sooner or later. Might as well get it over with. Ladies first."


James raised his mental barriers, and waited for Scarlet's opening move.

"What's stopping me from drugging you with the needle in my pocket?" Scarlet asked giggling. She sent a weak mind spell at him. It was something that would last all game however. Like a fog around his mind just waiting to seep in. She put up her defenses as well.

What I'm doing: A battle of wills


James grinned at the suggestion, a shield barrier popping up between them.


"Thanks for letting me know that you have that. I'll just leave this between us."


The mind fog wasn't hard to resist, but he had no doubt she'd use it as a foundation for more and more spells. James responded to it by tapping his staff on the ground. The room was soon full of a relaxing, mind-numbing pollen, which passed easily through James's barrier, because he allowed it to. James himself was not affected, as it was pollen from his own staff. But as the mental battle went on, and Scarlet breathed in more of the pollen, she'd become more and more suggestible.

Doing: Attemping to end this


Iana could feel the sheer amount of damage being dealt to her, any normal Number Caste Undead would've been knocked out, luckily she was a Queen, and of the Clubs. She could feel herself slowly weakening under the assault though. She was tired. Undead didn't under heavy fire but they did get exhausted, especially if they've been fighting for quite some time. '...Maybe I should...rest...' She thought tiredly as her sword was planted down into the ground. Her eyes slowly closed.


'Did...I ever stand a chance?'

"Daddy! Wada yu doin?"


A man looked up from his work station and smiled at the sight of his young daughter.


"Well sweetie, I'm working on seal to help some of the Royals of Hearts. Hopefully this will help the Suit."


"The ani...anim...animal?"


The man chuckled and lifted his daughter onto his lap and began to teach her.


~~~


"Dad! I'm back!"


The man was much older now, his hairs were either graying or white.


"Hey kiddo, how was the test?"


"It was hard...dad..."


"Hm?"


"I got in!"


The man hugged her daughter with all his strength.


"I'm so proud of you."


~~~


"Hey dad sorry I got home late, I got delayed by some of the other Royals. How was your day?"


"..."


"How about this to make it up for you I'll come home extra early and cook dinner for the two of us? Just like old times."


"..."


"I love you too, good night!"


The man's framed picture stood quietly as she left.





Iana held on. This was not the end of this. She released the sealed hand and slowly moved it skywards the lightning. "This hurts a lot...and I shouldn't be...wasting my energy talking." She started to say as seal on her hand glowed brilliantly, overpowering the lightning's glow. "I. AM. A. ROYAL." The seal glowed even more. "ARCHAIC SEALING STUDY: SEALING SPACE"


The arena's debris began to rattle as her seal activated. The lightning hammering down on her like the Creator's wrath stopped hitting her and instead began to be absorbed into seals that started to appear in the air. Seals began to dance around her and across the arena's air, dancing a majestic and mysterious dance. "Now, let's see how you handle this." With a swipe of her free hand, 5 floating seals began to rush towards her opponent.

What I am doing: Touching...


So much talking. The words kind of mixed together and, as Why'nn breathed out, the silken fabric was blown from her face. She seemed slightly distressed by this but she was too deep in trance to do anything about it. The soft noises became a little disappointed, a little upset, but she didn't move beyond bringing the silk wrapped around her hands to her face. Why'nn nuzzled the fabric, returning to the cooing noises.

What I'm doing- laughing.


She giggled and looked around at the pollen. "I guess you didn't see the mask I was wearing huh." She tapped it grinning. "it could be enchated or something." It wasn't but it could stop most of the pollen from getting to her. She breathed through her mouth only now. She had the voice changed that added some protection. She however put the cloth back over Why'nn's face half to subdue her, and half to protect her mouth and nose from the pollen.


"I thought we were using mind stuff only, if you wish to do things in the real world." She dropped down her red Jem on her necklace and started to swing it.


"Relax and watch the Jem."

What I'm doing: A battle of wills


Rather than foolishly look at the gem, James looked Scarlet in the eye, his gaze focused and precise.


"That's cute. You need props to hypnotize people."


As his eyes seemed to bore into her, Scarlet would begin to hear a soft whispering in her ear. It was hard to tell if the voice was male or female, in fact, it sounded like several people talking at once. But she wouldn't be able to quite make out what they were saying.


And yet... Scarlet would also notice that, just for a second, James's gaze dropped to the swinging gem. He looked back up at her eyes almost immediately, but she'd catch the subtle shift in his posture, to a slightly less rigid stance.
 
Location- Nishira's room


Who I'm with- James(@TommyGun15


What I'm doing- having fun


Scarlet chuckled as she heard the voices. The boy didn't know who she was. She had went to war with people like this before. People fsr stronger than James, far stronger than herself. She heard the whisphers in her ears, but remained calm. "You can't beat around the bush with me James, all these 101 child spells won't get you anywhere. " no to make any headway he would have to start actually throwing spells at her mind.


"Shhhhhh." Her voice going silky smooth. Just watch the Jem james. Forget about me and Why'nn, forget about everything.

What I am doing: Mmm...


The pollen didn't bother her. Her undead heritage allowed her to exist within it without being affected by it. However, the moment the silk was on her face again Why'nn moaned. Her eyes closed and her lips moved against the texture. However, as she heard both speak again, the second voice woke something within her.


"James..." she murmured. Her body moved then and wound around James's in a tight snuggle. Her head rested against his chest as she nuzzled against him. The tunic had a different texture than the silk and it threw her deeper into the trance. She went limp against him.
 



Location: Nishira's Room


Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ), Scarlet (@StartingOver )


What I'm doing: A bit distracted


James's concentration was broken by the sudden hug, and without even thinking about it James found himself staring at the gem for a few seconds. He caught himself, blinked a bit, and looked Scarlet in the eyes again. A voice spoke, not from James's mouth, but from seemingly everywhere.


"Your laugh is beautiful. Let's hear it again."





The command to laugh crashed upon Scarlet's mind like a tidal wave as James forced his Will behind the spell. He could only hope it worked, as he could already feel his defenses weakening a bit. The mental fog hadn't seeped in yet, but small cracks were forming.
 
Location- Nishira's room


Who I'm with-james(@TommyGun15


What I'm doing-saved by my mask twice!


"I'd apperciate it if you left or prize out of this." She grumbled. "This is a fight between you and me." She heard the voice. Now that was what she wanted to see. A attack with some power. His will was weakend so it didn't have the hitting power it should. She did however smile wide under her mask. She kept the laugh in. She wondered if the boy would know he got a shot in. The mask served its purpose. It looked to the outside world that the boy wasn't doing a thing to stop her. Maybe this would break his will.


"You're getting very sleepy James. Far to sleepy to cast spells. James is a sleepy sleepy


boy, so weak and sleepy.

What I'm doing: Not... done... yet...


James began to blink, slowly at first, but each blink was longer than the last. He could feel his willpower degrading. But he sensed that his last attack had some affect. He'd have to put his all into this next spell, because it would likely be the last one he was able to cast. After a few big blinks his eyes bored into Scarlet's again before he gathered what remained of his power, and launched it at Scarlet like a spear designed to pierce her mental defenses.


"I'm not the one getting sleepy... You are getting tired. You will fall asleep."





Unfortunately, to cast that final spell, James had to cannibalize his mental defenses. The mind fog seeped in, and his thoughts became cloudy. He just barely had the strength to keep the physical barrier up.
