Fola
​


Fola stood up almost instantly when he heard Isabel's name mentioned, not paying attention to anyone talking behind him, "Hey! Where the fuck are you keeping her?! What is she doing here?! I swear to god, if you even touch her, I'll- I'll...God dammit! Let me see my fucking wife you piece of shit!" Fola's voice echoed, following the Supervisor down the hall as she left. He had slammed his hands on the table a few times while speaking, causing it to shake. He looked down for a few moments, beginning to laugh hysterically as the conversation between Vance and Robert went on, "Why is it always me? I just- I have peace, genuine peace in my life for a few years, then it gets fucked...my kids could be dead, I can't even see my wife...everyone has someone here but me...why am I always the one alone?" 
​


 
​


The man looked up, taking in a deep breath after his small outburst, "I'm going to go fucking insane. Or kill myself, whichever comes first...probably the latter if I have to hear Vance stroke his massive fucking ego again..."
​

Kristen
​


Kristen grit her teeth a bit as she stared into the room, realizing she still hadn't received an awnser so she decided she would just go back to sleep, 'Whatever shit they're dealing with can't be that important, they haven't been deep throated by a Degenerate yet...' She yawned, turning to go back to her room, when she bumped into a boy, sending her stumbling forward to catch her balance. She looked at him, an eyebrow raised after a quick look over of the boy making her snort slightly, "Okay, so a few things, first of, who are you? Second of, why are you here? Third off, why do you smell like shit? You know what? You know what? Not important, here's what's going to happen, you're going to go over there, find out what's going on with the crashy twins, and then tell me why they're here, after that, you take a shower. I would ask myself but, personally, I don't want to waste valuable moments of my life trying to get information about the next monarch or whatever reason they're here for." She then threw Flynn towards Christina, waving at him as she leaned on the doorway, "Have fun."
​


 
​

 

Cynthia and Robert
​


Robert rises from his seat and angrily starts, "I was trying to save my daughter's life, you-" until Cynthia's hand gently lowers him back down to his seat.


With all of the calm rational and patience her years as a saleswoman and as a mother has instilled in her, Cynthia diplomatically attempts to defuse the situation.


"I'm sorry if we've offended you, Mr. Vance, but regardless of whatever history you have outside of these walls, we're stuck in here together, so we may as well make the best of it. And I'm sure it may seem absurd , but neither of us have lied to you..."


With a small, amicable chuckle, masking the subtlest of irritation, she adds, "Although my husband did exaggerate the truth; He did crash into, what the locals assured us, was an over-sized sea manatee with the boat that we had rented during our honeymoon at Innsmouth. He tells this story to everyone he meets."


Robert pipes in, cooled off and leaning over the table in interest, "I would show you the pictures that I kept in my wallet, but the guards confiscated it. I'm tellin' you though, that thing was way too big to be a manatee!"

Ree
​


Christina's sudden, cold change in demeanor sent grave chills down Ree's spine, filling her with apprehension for her newfound "sister".  Sensing their master's discomfort, and already angered by the godling's intrusive ways, the army of discarnate derelicts grumble and growl menacingly as they swarm about in Ree's hair, wishing they had enough mana to bite off Christina's invasive fingers.


Hopeful that changing the subject might elevate the mood, Ree fights through the pain in her scalp and asks, "Uhh...Y-Yeah, thanks for telling me what's what. So... when you said you were going to mold out my potential...what exactly did you have in mind? A-And can I get my beads back? They're kind of important to me..."

Alexandria: Once Alyson makes her proposal to get to know Alexandria better, the nephalem spreads all of her wings. She makes sure to spread them wide for her own sake of feeling comfortable and for intimidation since they had a brilliant aura and wingspan. "Why would you want to g-get to know me? I don't think it's a good idea. I'm sorry I'm just not very good with people...I think you'd get along with Christina more or your other friends. I'm not very social and I don't like being forced into situations like this either." In her mind she also comments. 'In fact I detest it.' 


"Maybe we can just...keep our distance from one another and hope it goes away. That should work best...it's better than being stuck with me. That's the worst thing anyone could do to themselves." She whispers the last sentence to herself. "Besides...I am nothing like you, don't insult yourself that way." She once again whispers the very last sentence. "Christina might be waiting, I'll be outside the castle." Alexandria disappears after this sentence, leaving only a feather behind. As Alexandria flies around the skies of the realm she begins to wallow in self hatred once more. "Yeah...it's better off this way. With me out of sight so I wont drag others down. Right, Felix?"

Alyson
​




Alyson took a step back as Alexandria decided to spread her wings. Her first reaction was to be shocked, but as she got a good look, she saw how beautiful her wings look. She didn't have a chance to compliment her, because she started to respond to Alyson proposal. She seem to not like the idea about getting to know her, or even giving it a chance. She gave her another option like her other so called friends, that she's has never spoken to, or Christina, yet another celestial being. After her finally words she disappeared only living a feather. She walked towards it and squats down to pick it up and examine the feather. Beautiful. She said softly, then stood up. She started to think about what Alexandria said "Why would you want to g-get to know me?" I don't really know myself, but I have a feeling I'll find out why. A light smile appears on her face and Alyson places the feather behind her left ear. She makes her way back up stairs heading back at Christina's area. @Light

The reindeer was still frozen in fear and the loud voices of others could be heard closely. The leaves on the trees begin to rustle heavily and the ground begins to quake. In a flash countless animals burst out of the hiding, running away from the hunters while the reindeer was too terrified to follow. Once the stampede of animals were no longer in their area the quaking began to stop. It was at this time that the reindeer finally began to take off. Another gunshot was heard and a bullet could be heard blasting past Eppie's ear and into the back of the reindeer. The reindeer drops to the floor, struggling to breathe. The forest and the wildlife around them slowly begin to wither away as is the reindeer was the source of this forest's life. As the hunters approach the scene they stared at Eppie with faces of alarm. They began to whisper among one another. Eppie could catch some of the words bouncing between them. "You shot the girl in the back? The bullet passed right through her!" "No, I'm sure I shot the prey in the back, not the girl." "Then why is she bleeding out?" At this moment the dream causes Eppie to look down at her stomach and notice the same wound the reindeer has suffered. The only difference is that the wound goes all the way through since she has a smaller body. After the dream forces Eppie to collapse and slowly take her last breath with the reindeer, Eppie is ejected from her sleep. Once she awakens she could feel a numb sensation in the exact place she was shot at. ( @CelticSol )

EPSILON

​


Eppie wakes in a cold sweat, breathing hard and fast, hand clutching her shirt at her stomach. She can feel a numb ache where she was shot in the dream, and although she knows it's completely irrational, she has to hike up her shirt to inspect her stomach. Seeing nothing, she lets out a breath, forcing herself to even out her breathing to a normal pace. Swallowing, she looks around the room, finding herself alone. 


Rolling back her shoulders, Eppie sighs, running a hand through her hair, "Fuck, that was weird," She mutters, rubbing her neck as she rises. She finds she's still completely dressed, so she doesn't worry about trying to make herself further presentable. Instead, she heads into the hallway, hoping to find someone Zeta. Or somebody.

Leo
​


 
​


The girl steps back in alarm due to Leo having no clue as to where he is. This is a meadow far from a village and people only end up here if they came to see her for medicine. For Leo not to know why he's here or where he is came off as strange. She slowly begins to walk forward again, examining the boy before him with caution. "Um...you're in the celestial meadow, hidden deep within the celestial jungle which is guarded by the celestial dragons. I don't understand how you ended up here without specific need to see me but if you're already here I don't see why I shouldn't help you." The girl stops holding her basket in two hands and approaches him with a hand extended. "My name is Lily, it's nice to meet you Leo. For now do you mind coming with me? It's dangerous for outsiders to stray alone here, celestial dragons are on a level of their own. I'm done collecting medicinal herbs anyways. Once I'm done treating my patient I'll get right to your problem. Does that sound alright with you?"  ( @CelticSol )

LEONIDAS
​




It's Leo's turn to be surprised, the information flooring him slightly.  Numbly, as if he's not actually sure he's doing it, he shakes her hand, nodding. He almost just explains, 'I think I'm dreaming or astral projecting', but settles for the unhelpful, unarticulated, "I'm, uh, not sick. I don't need any treatment," After a second, it occurs to Leo this might eject him from the dream before he gains more information, and hurriedly adds, "B-But I can help you carry your herbs and stuff! And I might be able to help you out with your patient. I have some healing training."


LILITH/JACKIE
​


 
​

Jacqueline Sapienti is a tough nut to crack, Lilith finds. 



There is mystery in the hosts of the elusive God of Corruption; unless they make themselves known in the same way Jacqueline has, they are difficult to locate, even more difficult to render as available as they’ve made Jacqueline. The Warden is intrigued by the workings of all things of a magical nature; it is no surprise that the Warden was thrilled to try a hand at finding out what made the hosts of Sanctum tick. Additionally, Sanctum has a strong hold over his host, and when freed of the numerous enhancements in her shackles and decorated on the walls of her cell, a possession takes hold of her. 


And so, Jacqueline is confined to her cell 24/7 by the Warden’s orders. As it is with Isabella Cipher, the Warden finds enjoyment and fascination by coming to Jacqueline’s cell and testing out what responses trigger Sanctum’s awakening. Unlike the rest of her guildmates, whom are permitted to eat in the cafeteria, she eats, sleeps, and lives within the bounds of her cell, shackled to the wall or the floor like an animal, constantly torn between possession and control as Sanctum attempts to break through the extensive spells of the Warden.


It’s pathetic, really, Lilith finds as she looks to the woman slumped on the floor, arms suspended by the shackles that bolt her to the wall. Blood and cold sweat has stuck much of her hair to her neck and shoulders, and Lilith can see the various wounds that mar the pale olive skin of the woman. Bruises, cuts, even engravings of spells decorate Jacqueline’s flesh, and although Lilith tends to distance herself from the experiments of the Warden’s, she can name almost systematically the most likely purpose of each injury. Despite the insistence of the Warden, it seemed like nothing but exertion of power and cruelty, using curiosity as a justification for torture. She had, after all, seen the wounds that the Warden had left on Isabella Cipher, and no explanation in the world could justify that as ‘magical study’.


Lilith announces her presence by removing the charm silencing her steps. For the most part, Jacqueline is still - immobile to the point Lilith might think she’s died hanging there, save for the shuddering breaths she drags through her teeth in an uneven pattern. It would be a pathetic sight, the bruised and battered woman hanging off the wall, if it were not to for the rage filled, fearless and irreverent glare the woman sends her way as Lilith approaches her. 


Clearly, the Warden was not so gentle in their last encounter - there are fresh bruises along her face, dark purple and blue, her lip cut and swollen. But still, there is resistance and fight left in her at every turn, and there is a fire still alight in the woman’s eyes. Jacqueline trembles as Lilith forces her chin up to bring the wounds to light, but not from fear - there is bone deep hatred in the woman’s darkening eyes. Her pupils dilate sharply, darkness moving into the veins in her face, and Lilith barely has time to pull away before Jacqueline snaps at her fingers with her teeth, corruption seeping in black streaks across the saliva coating her teeth.


Sanctum is strong, his aura curving from the woman and smothering the air like a sickness, and Lilith can see Jacqueline in the throes of a hopeless possession. Still, such petulance wouldn’t be permitted by the Warden. Lilith strikes Jacqueline hard across the face, the hit throwing her back against the wall, and waits until various enchantments glow white, watching with cold eyes as the strength drains from Jacqueline once more.


“Have you even considered the proposition, Jacqueline?” Lilith asks, her voice even and soft. “The Warden is often not so kind, as I’m sure you know. You should be grateful it has been offered to you at all.”


“Get fucked,” Jacqueline rasps, spitting blood and corruption onto the ground near Lilith’s feet. 


Lilith frowns, “I wouldn’t be so quick to say that. Before he died, Frederick killed two of the children.”


This grabs Jacqueline’s attention, the woman going still. She swallows audibly, her face lifting to look at Lilith, and for the first time, Lilith sees fear in her red eyes, “Who? Who died? Which ones?”


“I am not permitted to share,” Lilith says coolly, and before Jacqueline can lash out, she holds up a hand, “If you were to cooperate, something may be negotiated.”


“Negotiate?” Jacqueline barks a harsh laugh, “Like you and that fucking son of a bitch would offer anything-”


“Are you really in a place to start getting selective, Jacqueline? I could just as easily track and kill them myself. The Warden could do the same even more easily. We are offering your children a chance. If I were you, I wouldn’t squander it.”


Jacqueline looks away, biting at the chapped skin of her lips, eyes closing. There’s a long silence, where the space is only filled by their breathing, until Jacqueline whispers, “I’ll think about it.”


“Don’t take too long. Opportunity like this tends to slip away rather easily,” With an incline of her head, she turns around to the door, leaving the cell and Jacqueline behind. She closes the heavy metal door behind her, about to activate the enchantment sealing the door, when she hears someone clear their throat behind her.


She startles, turning to find a familiar violet eye glowing from the shadows of the hallway. “Warden,” Lilith says, trying to hide the fact the startle left her breathless, and clears her own throat, the Warden walking smoothly forward and into the light. “Mrs. Sapienti is considering the proposal.”


“Excellent,” The Warden purrs, coming forward and putting their hands on Lilith’s shoulders. Lilith witholds the urge to flinch as the Warden kisses her forehead, “I knew you could convince her. It’d be nicer to have the children alive… I’m sure a number of them could be useful. The titan boy might be an interesting project… Oh, what’s his name?”


“Castiel?”


“Yes, Castiel was his name. Thank you,” The Warden waves a dismissive hand, “Anyway, irrelevant for now; I have other matters to attend to with the Host,” The Warden almost enters into the cell, but halts, seemingly remembering something, “Oh, the Van Fenrir girl. She gouged the face of one of the guards with glass pieces. She probably broke her lightbulb again. The rest of the guards are too cowardly to enter themselves, so you will have to disarm her. With whatever means necessary. Take a weapon, use a spell - I don’t really care. Whatever it takes.”


“Yes, Warden.”


“Good girl. Run along, now. Shoo,” The Warden waves their hands in a gesture of ‘go away’, before entering into Jacqueline’s cell, leaving Lilith alone. 


Lilith shifts to head deeper into the prison, pulling out one of her daggers and rolling up her sleeve in preparation. She toys the tip of the blade against the skin of her wrist as she draws closer and closer to the heart of the prison, until she can see a grouping of guards in front of a door. There is a blood trail left by the guard Cipher maimed, and she inclines her head towards the door.


“Open the door,” She commands. The guards heed her command, and Lilith enters the darkened cell.

Vance
​




Vance looked at Cynthia and Bobby, his facial features conveying an un-interested demeanor. "I don't give a fuck about your lives.. I was merely doing you a favour and warning you not to get on my bad side.. I'm sure your precious daughter would be disappointed to find you dead... though if she's anything like you two, I'll bet she's already lying dead in the dirt" Vance flashed them a friendly looking smile as he stood up from the table. As he walked past Cynthia he placed a hand on her shoulder. "I can see your husband needs you to keep him under control.. I bet I'd get more of a reaction if you were the first to go, wouldn't I?" Without waiting for any sort of response, as he had already decided he was finished trying to talk to them, Vance walked off.


Instead of going over to his own table, Vance instead sat down next to Fola. "Child killer! How have you been?" He swung an arm around Fola's neck and pulled him closer towards him, partly because he knew it would piss Fola off, but also partly because he had a plan. "You want to get out of here Child killer? Cause I might just have a plan" Vance began in a hushed tone, talking low enough so that only Fola could hear him, and just barely at that. "We're going to have to get into a fight.. I'm sure you already want to beat me up. then, just follow my lead" Vance smirked at Fola as he released the man and stood up. Vance had already figured that they were probably being kept alive for something, and his theory was proved correct when the supervisor didn't want the guard to harm Isabel. "I don't get why you're worrying so much, Child killer, I would've thought you wanted the kids to die.. or did you want them to die at a certain age?" Vance started walking off, back over to his own table. "I'm kinda surprised you haven't killed them yet.. or did Isabel keep having to bring them back to life?"

Jackson
​


He looked at Vance. "Honestly I think we should leave them be. We're here for a reason. If the majority of society wanted us to disappear then we should just do that. It's not like we are all saints here. And Vance leave the fucking child killer alone before we get tazed or something." He didn't know what was happening he just liked fights.


Marshall
​


Marshall was tired of waiting. "Alright I'm out of patience if they aren't here they aren't coming. If not I'm going to go prepare for whatever the fuck is going to happen next. Because standing here watching you braid each others hair feels like a waste of the time that could be used to save our parents or find your other sisters."
 

Hassan
​


Hassan has been waiting patiently for Castiel to return with the others so Christina can explain whatever she needed to explain. He was posted up on the nearby wall with his arms crossed and his head down. Vaku was resting easy on his shoulders. Hassan was getting a bit impatient he still kept his cool, unlike Marshall who decided to add to the problem. As if it's not taking forever already. Hassan lifts his head up, and looks at Marshall with a bit of a glare. Castiel went to gather the other kids, so instead of leaving to add to the problem why not just wait here like a good little boy. Because If you ain't here to hear the information I defiantly won't be the one to tell yo ass. Hassan then turned his attention to Alyson who's returned from wherever the hell she went. He then turns his attention back to Marshall. @Tazmodo


Cole
​


Once the supervisor gave out her last statement Inaro placed his head down and went to sleep and Cole just sat back in his chair with his armed crossed and head down. He sat there quietly listening to whatever conversation was going on at the time. It was mainly Vance chatting up some new random people. He was starting to get annoyed with his usual arrogant voice. Cole sat up as Vance started messing with the Fola. He turned his attention to Jackson who obviously seemed to have a problem with it. Cole on the other hand didn't mind as long as the guards don't try and attack him for Vance's shenanigans. You're bullshit better not cause me to get attacked. He sad calmly with his head still down.  @King Crimson @LokiofSP @Tazmodo @Lotusy @GingerBread @Daimao @The Imperial Flame 
 

Ejection
​




Since Andrew tampered with that book that was in control of the realm, it was beginning to fall apart. The castle began to quake once more and collapse in on itself much to Valente'a dismay. "Someone touched the book! Degenerates! Send the children somewhere safe!" That last sentence translated to somewhere Spain in their minds. After a full minute pause, the degenerates appear underneath the children and swallow them all while, spitting them out in a forest just outside of a town in Spain. The only people who were missing from this was Andrew, Zalena, Austrianna, and the split personalities. The reason for this is because the same degenerate that sent Juniper off didn't get the message from Valente but saw other degenerates sending people off. It assumed it was supposed to send Zalena and Austrianna in the same area it sent Juniper. With the split personalities another degenerate wasn't listening and assumed that it was supposed to spit them out in front of Morgan's temple. 


With th this happening, Leo was shaken out of his dream now on the forest floor amongst the other kids. 


IMG_0148.JPG


Each child only had one mama injection on their person now and their celestial items were barely functioning properly due to extremely low spiritual energy. All of their energy is far too low to use them correctly. 


( I'm leaving @Tazmodo and @GingerBread in charge of the plot for now. Make sure you all interact amongst each other and listen to the two of them! If you have a problem with one of them, complain to the other, not me. Have fun! @Lotusy @LokiofSP @IPreferTies @That Guy Over There @Embaga Elder @CelticSol @Daimao @MTchaos1134 @The Imperial Flame @Inheritance @King Crimson )

Castiel
​




Castiel started looking around the castle in confusion and slight panic as it started to quake and collapse. 'What's happening? Why is it just one disaster after another?! Are we not allowed one moment of peace?' Castiel was taken out of his thoughts as he faintly heard someone shouting in the distance. 'Are they in danger?!' Though before he could go and check if the person needed any help or if they were hurt, Castiel found himself going through the, now familiar feeling of being swallowed and teleported away by a degenerate, and into a random forest in the world, at least he hoped that they hadn't been taken to a different dimension, though he doubted the degenerates had that sort of power anyway. Castiel then started thinking about the Castle collapsing and the fact that his sisters body would be completely gone if the castle and the realm it was in was gone; He had no idea that he'd completely absorbed his sister.


Castiel took a deep breath as he looked around at everyone else. 'I'm sure everything is fine.. besides I need to focus on this right now.. I am the leader after all..' Castiel looked around at everyone around him, noticing that they were missing a couple of people, the most noticeable to him being Zalena and Austrianna. 'Austrianna was right next to me, why isn't she here?! And why isn't Zalena here either?! Are they okay?!' Castiel's face had a look of panic on it as he thought over all these things; Even though he believed that Zalena was using the group for her own gain, and nothing more, he couldn't stop himself from caring about her. 'I'm.. Sure they're fine.. they probably got sent somewhere else.. yeah.. they're probably looking for juniper'  Castiel sighed and closed his eyes as he tried to calm himself down and regain what little composure he had.


Turning towards everyone, Castiel started addressing them, trying to act more like the leader he was. "Right.. so, um.. I have no idea what just happened, and I doubt any of you do either" He wasn't really sure where to go with what he was saying; He had just started talking without really knowing what to say, so he went quiet for a few seconds. "Anyway.. since I have no idea how to get back.. I think we should work on taking down the monarch of.. wherever we are.." Castiel stuck his hands into his pockets, and realised he had a single injection and nothing else on him, apart from his dagger which he never leaves away from him if he can help it. "Though.. I think we should probably find the nearest town first, get some more supplies and then work out how we'll do that. That-" Castiel was about to ask everyone if that was alright with them, but realised that he'd end up nowhere if he wasn't the least bit assertive. "..Right, if no one has any questions, then we'll go do that now, yeah?"

Alyson/Hassan
​


Hassan and Alyson were within the hallways of the castle before things went south. Hassan had just ended his little smart comment to Marshall when the castle started to shake. Soon enough the two of them experienced that familiar feeling of them being swallowed by the Degenerates. The two were transported to a forest. They took a good look around and noticed how Austrianna, Zalena, and Andrew weren't with them. [SIZE= 14px]Well this is just great. [/SIZE]Hassan said sarcastically  as he placed his hands in his pockets, feeling the injection that was in his pocket. Alyson and Hassan turned to Castiel as he began talking. He gave them a fairly simply plan for now, find the nearest town and get supplies. Alyson was getting a little chilly so she placed her hands in her black leather jacket pocket. To her surprise she felt a mana injection. Hassan turns towards Marshall, and grins. [SIZE= 14px]Looks like you might actually get to do what you wanted. [/SIZE]He then turns towards Castiel.[SIZE= 14px] [/SIZE]Ready when you, oh fearless leader.

Marshall
​


Marshall was about to reply to Hassan about him getting the wrong idea orlf what he was saying. But before he could speak the castle collapsed and he was swallowed. He looked at Castiel and after hearing what he said he was still in shock. Before he could say anything again though Hassan felt like speaking up again. He looked to him. "Look I didn't want to get stranded I just didn't want to waste time because look now. If we had all finished talking with the girls we probably could have prevented this from happening but I guess I'm the bad guy for not wanting to sit on my ass. Anyways we probably should go and at least find out where we are and how many people are missing." He tooled his pack off and quiver if arrows. His bow had been slung around his shoulder and luckily it was still with him. He did notice however that his energy supply had been reduced to one. "Umm I'm lucky I didn't get to settle in yet but you guys probably don't have anything in the terms of supplies. So until we get more I have food and water but not a lot." He put everything back on and got ready to move.


Clark and RJ
​


Clark pit the granola bar box he had been holding inside of Marshall back pack. "Well great I only have one energy injection to so try not to get to damaged because healing life threatening wounds take up most of one shot. We just have to be so unlucky that that turns out to be most if the injuries this group receives. So please be careful. I only have enough in me to heal a broken bone right now." He got ready to move. "Is anybody hurt?" He said addressing the entire group. RJ felt a little sea sick from the degenerate swallowing him without his notice and he almost threw up. "Hold on still sick." He walked to the other side of a tree to try not to puke his guts out. After swallowing everything down he walked back to the group. "False alarm. Sorry. But anyway Cas is right we need to move I don't feel safe in the jungle or forest or whatever this is. We don't know the predators here. The wildlife could also be a problem." He tied his right shoe as it had become untied and he almost tripped on it when he was walking back. "Thank god there are no mosquitos yet." When he bent over  he realized he only had his reworked gauntlet, his mask, and one injection. He could also feel the power dell runs on be low. "This is bad."

Cynthia and Robert
​


Even in the wake of such a callous, verbal assault, Cynthia's mask of hospitality never fades. She even goes so far as to add in a cheery, "It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Vance. Please do take care." as he takes his leave.


Once assured that Vance was well out of earshot, Robert peevishly murmurs, "What a blowhard! How can you be so calm at a time like this!?"


Relaxing her face a bit and gently massaging her temples, Cynthia tiredly responds, "I sell makeup for a living, dear. Dealing with entitlement just comes with the territory." With a small, airy chuckle and a light squeeze at his hand, she adds, "...And being married to you tests my patience every other day, so I think I've gotten just about used to it."


Sending back a small, despondent laugh of his own, Robert slouches down over the table, staring down at the scattered pictures around him.


"You think he's right about Ree? Is it already too late to save her?"


With a small hint of melancholy, Cynthia replies, "...No, I don't think so. Ree's a smart girl, she knows how to stay out of trouble. And for all his blustering, Mr. Vance is just as powerless to save his children as we are."


"Yeah...if everything he said was true, what's the point of having that kind of power, if you can't protect the ones you love? Makes things look even more dire for us nobodies, huh?


For a while, the weight of the conversation lures them into a depressing silence, until, with a sudden spark of joy in his eye, Robert points out a picture of Ree eating with Ruby in the Moroccan marketplace, excitedly murmuring, "Hey! It looks like she's made a friend with someone in this picture! What's it been? A couple days? That's a new record for her!"


With a similar surge of ecstaticism, Cynthia jerks over to look, happily cheering, "Really? That's great! Oh, I wonder who she is! Maybe we'll even be able to have a get-together after this is all over!"

Ree
​


After being ejected from the degenerate's mouth, due to her previous, ill-prepared position, Ree lands flat on her face.


Lifting her head up from the dirt and dust of the forest floor, Ree angrily grumbles, "Y'know...I don't even care anymore." before picking herself up and dusting herself off.


Her spirits were lifted however, when she saw Castiel in a much better condition than the last time she had seen him, and now finally taking command.


"Grouping up somewhere safe sounds like a pretty good idea to me!" Ree enthusiastically responds.


Quizzically turning her head skyward, Ree wonders aloud, "If I used my injection, do you think I could fly up and find a place nearby?"

Castiel
​




Castiel was surprised that everyone seemed to be agreeing with him for once, though Hassan calling him a 'fearless leader' made him think that everyone was just doing it sarcastically, but he pushed those doubts aside and started addressing what everyone had said. "I don't think we're in any danger here, but we probably should start going, just in case." Castiel then looked over at Ree as she asked if she could find a town if she flew up into the sky. "You can fly? Anyway.. um, don't waste an injection like that" He looked around the forest, noticing a path leading somewhere. "We should all try to save our injections until we really need them" He frowned as he was reminded that he was probably going to go blind soon, and the only people who knew about that, was Zalena and.. Ruby. Castiel shook his head slightly as he tried to stop thinking about that, deciding to cross that bridge when he came to it. 


Turning his attention back to the group, Castle spoke again. "Anyway.. there's a path just over there, I say we follow it; It'll more than likely lead to a town" Not giving anyone any time to argue, Castiel started making his way over to the path and began walking along it, quickly coming across a wooden signpost, one of them pointing down the pathway.. though the signs were slightly rotted and covered in foliage, not to mention they were in a language that Castiel didn't know, making the also illegible words even harder to decipher. "I'm pretty sure the town is this way guys" Castiel called out to the group, going off just a hunch more than anything, though he had a gut feeling that he was right about where to go.

Myra
​


Her search for the library was going nowhere, all the signs that she thought would lead her there lead to yet another dead end leaving her trapped in a maze of her own creation something she could've easily avoided. It didn't matter to her though, the curiosity that filled her ever expanding mind filled her with determination to push on and make it past the few challenges she was struck with. One of these challenges she didn't expect however, the sudden shake of the castle set Myra at an unease, the feeling only getting worse as the shaking grew even stronger only for it to be followed by a sudden being swallowing her up and spitting her into the forest. 


Upon their arrival Myra was quick to pop open her umbrella in a defensive manner against the Sun's hellish rays, even if she didn't require such a thing going without an injection; it was an unfortunate habit. Though she didn't exactly agree with Castiel it was apparent fate wouldn't allow her to turn her back upon these people, they were also her only way out so the choice was a clear one. She spoke few words but those were unneeded, the only thing that was truly required to know what she thought was said through her actions. 


"I'll be following for a time, don't expect much though." 


Then began the silent stroll behind the man who she'd have to listen to, umbrella propped upon her shoulder yet still held tightly within her hand.

Hassan/Alyson
​


Hassan looks at Marshall as he responded to his comment, He chuckles then looks away. Naw you ain't the villain, plus I feel like this would've been inevitable. Hassan looks around at the others as they agreed with Castiel. It was the only logical plan besides staying here and doing nothing. He looks over at Ree who was ready to use her injection just to fly up to find the town. It wasn't a completely terrible idea, but there were better ideas. Like for instance using the wolf on his shoulders to find a scent to lead them to a tail, or follow the path that they're own. Hassan shook his head as Castiel disapproves her plan of action. That would've been a waste. He said softly to himself. He looks over at Alyson who was standing fairly close to him. It was obvious that she was uncomfortable around these people. Hassan sighs then lightly taps Alyson. You know one day, I won't be here for you to hide beside, and you'll be forced to open up to someone and befriend them. Matter of fact today is that day. Hassan pulls himself away from Alyson and walks to the front of the group, next to Castiel. He looks back at her and notices a new face. A girl with white hair and an umbrella. Hey Alyson why don't you talk to her. He points to Myra. I have no idea who the hell she is, but she was white hair like you. So why not find out for the both of us. Hassan projected his voice keeping it fairly even. He also gave Alyson a contained smile. He looks at Vaku and gives him a order. Stay with her for awhile.  Vaku nods and hops off Hassan's shoulder and transforms into his Alpha form which is 5'2ft tall and pretty big. He wallks back to Alyson and walks beside her. Hassan turns his attention to Castiel, remembering what Alyson said told him. He decided it was still not best to bring it up here. I gotta talk to you later. After we get to the town. By the way, you're going to right way. I can smell it. The town. Hassan said calmly. 


After Hassan ripped himself away from Alyson she gasped and her pace slowed down. She started to draft behind the group with her head held down. She lifted it slight just to see who Hassan was talking about. It was true that the girl did have white hair like she did, but her appearance didn't quite give off a friendly one. She looks at Vaku as he walks towards her and she gave him a nice cute smile. Hey V how are you? She said rubbing his fur. Why does Han gotta be so mean sometimes. He just looks at her for a second then kneels down, allowing Alyson to ride on his back. Alyson smiles yet again and gets on his back. Vaku continues following behind the group at a nice normal pace. Alyson kept her head down a bit rubbing her hands through Vaku's fur.

Austrianna & Zalena
​


IMG_0167.JPG
​


 
​


Austrianna walks out of the store with a new outfit, hair pins, sword sheath, and sword hilt. With the addition of a couple daggers she chose herself, thinking they would be handy. She looks at Zalena, questioning her younger sister's fashion sense. She didn't think she looked all too good. Austrianna shakes her head since she had better things to focus on, like finding Juniper. Even if they were oddly split up from the rest of the group, it didn't matter. They would have to work with what they had at the moment, which was one another. Austrianna takes a deep breath and closes her eyes to swallow whatever leftover embarrassment she may have had over her current attire. Besides...if Zalena picked it for her it couldn't be that bad could it? Austrianna and Zalena were currently in the Niagara Fall's tourist trap areas. They didn't know where they were at all since they aren't even from this planet. 


Zalena puts her hand on her forehead as if she's saluting since she was blocking out the sun to look around. "Hhhhhhmmmm, okie dokie! I know where we are big sis!" Zalena presents a large smile and her eyes begin to light up with a brilliant passion. This was the face Austrianna loved to see from her sister. This face and the news coming with it made it obvious Austrianna's hopes were up. "We're at a huge waterfall!" Austrianna's smile turns into a bittersweet half smile. She rubs the top of Zalena's head anyways since her sister did try her best, no matter how obvious the insight was. Austrianna looks around them while Zalena begins to squirm with a warm smile underneath the proof of Austrianna acknowledging her. She had no sense of direction in this area and immediately admits to herself. Right now would be a good time to have the assistance of the group at her side. Something she assumes they wont have the luxury of for a while. They were stranded, lost, and needed help. From who they could trust to receive assistance from was the big issue.

[COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)]Erin &[/COLOR][COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)] Flynn[/COLOR]
​




Erin's second trip via degenerate felt surprisingly better than her first. While the feeling of plummeting into the abyss of a creature's mouth definitely wasn't comfortable, after the initial shock, the butterflies in her stomach turned into exhilaration, as if she was going down a rollercoaster. Of course, the ground had to interrupt the darkness and falling sometime or another, but Erin only let out a small grunt when she made contact. Yea. That wasn't so bad now, was it? She quickly gained her bearings and stood up, scanning her surroundings for her brother.

Flynn did not take the fall as gracefully. One moment, some random girl was telling him that he smelled before shoving him into a room full of people, not only sending him into a state of panic, by also delivering him straight into the maw of a degenerate - making his adrenaline shoot spike again. The nauseating combination of darkness and falling only ended as he was unceremoniously spat onto the forest floor, quickly grabbing onto a tree before he lost his lunch. Erin soon spotted him, and as the two silently watched the crowd group up behind Castiel and head to the nearest town, they followed, with Erin wondering if this was their first mission and Flynn simply wondering how the hell he could get out of it.

As they moved along, something strange among the already strange group of kids caught Erin's attention. A small dog, previously resting on some kid's shoulder, suddenly leapt off and morphed into a 5-foot-tall wolf with wings. Erin's jaw dropped, and her gaze flirted between the wolf itself and a figure who nonchalantly decided to ride him. "Flynn, it's a wolf," she whispered, elbowing Flynn in the side without taking her eyes off the wolf. Her brother only glared at her, before taking a glance at the wolf too. "Okay, cool." He quickly followed up his blunt comment by pressing forward, pulling ahead of Erin. Sure, it seemed cool, but Flynn didn't want to be as easily impressed or as willing to meet new people as his sister was - and besides, he had to figure out why the hell someone was using freaky shadowy beings with gigantic mouths to transport them. With Erin soon left behind, she merely crossed her arms and glared back at him. "Alright, well I'm seeing the wolf. Don't panic without me around," she muttered, heading over to Alyson and Vaku.

"Hey there!" Erin's voice ran out from behind Vaku, though she could barely see over the wolf as he was almost her height. "Can I just say that your wolf is so cool? Like he's got wings! But he's also a wolf! And... and..." Erin paused, wondering why she was so amazed by the Vaku in the first place. "Oh yea, and he's gigantic." As she continued talking, Erin crept around Vaku to try and catch a glimpse of his rider. Alyson looked nice enough, and though she was quiet, Erin already felt more comfortable around the white-haired girl since she wasn't immediately scowling or telling her to go away. After a quick wave, Erin gave Alyson an embarrassed smile, hoping that her previous blank didn't make the situation too awkward. "Hah, sorry about that. Anyways, I'm Erin. What's your name?"

Flynn, meanwhile, had just discovered the injection in his pocket. As his sister made friends, Flynn slunk back to the rear of the group, pulling out the injection with caution as to not poke himself with the needle. It was certainly strange. One girl - the one with cake - said that she could use her injection to, well, fly. That certainly intrigued him. Powers… well, that’s certainly interesting. Some dim memory flickered within Flynn’s mind, a memory including quite a bit of blood - but as soon as it came, it passed. Darn. He shook the injection a bit, watching the fluid inside it swirl around. I know Erin has powers, so she can use this… and I’m pretty sure I have a power too, but I just... I just can’t remember it. As the contents of the syringe settled, Flynn stared into them with an intensity he usually reserved for people. Maybe this will help. I should ask first, though. Waking up from his stupor and looking around for the first time in a while, Flynn realized he was falling behind, and quickly jogged back up to one of the boys, Suria, and tapped his shoulder. " 'Scuse me. What are we supposed to do with these syringes? I mean, what exactly do they do?" He paused, before throwing in one more question. "Also, what are we doing here? Is this some routine you guys do?"


@Embaga Elder @LokiofSP @GingerBread @Tazmodo @CelticSol @Daimao @That Guy Over There @IPreferTies @King Crimson @The Imperial Flame
 

Suria
​


Suria found himself suddenly swallowed whole by a degenerate, spitting him out somewhere once again, right in the middle of everyone. He stood up slowly, wincing and rubbing the back of his head as he looked around in attempts to get a feel for his surroundings. He vaguely picked up the sound of Castiel talking, only really realizing what he was saying once he started walking off towards town. It was at this point that Suria raised his hand, attempting to ask a question, "Hey, so why are we going to fight the monarchs whe- Eh, forget it, not worth it..." Suria sighed, brushing a stray piece of hair out of his eyes as he began to travel with the large group, beginning to feel almost like a sheep being herded as they went on. 
​


 
​


He continued on like this for a few minutes, walking in silence, only to be interrupted by somebody tapping his shoulder, causing him to turn around to see one of the new people he'd seen earlier approach him, "Oh hey, it's you, that one guy who's name I don't care to remember. What's up?" Suria stuffed his hands in his pockets, half listening to what the kid was saying as they walked on, "Well the syringe isn't heroin, if that's what you're concerned about, it's mana or whatever the fuck it's called. Think about it this way, you're basically like a junkie who hasn't had his latest fix without it: you can't function to the extent others can, and you're kind of dead weight. Then you take a hit, and boom, you feel great, crazy fast and have some kind of weird heroin strength brought on by the drugs, until the high wears off, then you have to find more. Basically, if you're about to fight, inject that into your arm or whatever to be able to use your powers for a bit, then inject it again after the first shot wears off. Rinse, repeat until we get home...or die. More than likely the latter of the two options. As for your second question..." Suria shrugged, the hint of a grin appearing in the corner of his lips, "Basically yeah. We kind of just mull about before the Degenerates spit us out in some random place like a bad porn star, every hour we're all around each other brings some new kind of drama to deal with, and they deliver us to it."

Kristen+Faolan
​


Being swallowed by Degenerate never seemed to get any easier for Kristen, but at the very least, it wasn't something to not expect anymore. So when she was spit out in the middle of the woods, she wasn't as confused as she might typically be. She pulled herself off the floor and shook her head, swearing under her breath slightly as she did so. She looked around immediately, standing in line for their typical, 'Oh no, we're lost in some new place, here's what we'll do' speech, before they began to walk to find the next town. Kristen looked around for something to do to pass the time, and since Zalena would more that likely be chatting up her new boyfriend, Kristen figured she should probably just look for Austrianna and bother her for a bit. She looked around for awhile, trying to spot her sister (Who would probably be accompanied by her brother and Juniper) but found herself unable to. Frustration soon gave way to concern, as she began to look for Zalena as well, only to find that she also wasn't there.
​


 
​


Her heart began to beat a bit quicker, and she began to wander the group, pushing past bodies as she called out, "Hey, Austrianna? Juniper? Zalena? Okay, this isn't fucking funny! I'll beat up that one guy you hang out around all the time if you don't come out Zalena! I'll  uh...I'll steal something if you don't come out right now? God dammit..." The young woman did this for minutes on end, ignoring whatever looks she would probably get from those around her. She found herself gritting her teeth soon, looking for just ONE of her siblings at that moment, calling out one of their names once every seven seconds or so. She was really beginning to freak out when she heard from behind her, "Kristen! Hey, I'm over Oh, excuse me, so sorry...I-I'm over here!"
​


 
​


Kristen turned around to see her little brother pushing through people, attempting to get to her. She began to do the same, pushing through the crowd before they got to the back. They would more than likely end up lagging a bit behind, but that didn't matter, it felt good to just know that some of the family they'd both shown up with were still there. They embraced briefly, with Faolan lingering just a bit longer before Kristen pulled him off her, holding him by his shoulders. Her face changed, no longer showing the typical anger she typically displayed, rather, she just looked like a lost kid for a moment, "Okay, thank god you're here! I was getting worried there. Have you seen Juniper, Zalena or Austrianna? It's just that, everyone else is here, and I can't find them..." 
​


 
​


Faolan shook his head, wringing his hands together, "No I haven't, I saw them this morning-well I didn't see Juniper, but I thought she was just sleeping so I didn't really check, but I saw Austrianna and Zalena! Then we were swallowed by those weird things and we're here now and-" Faolan stopped himself, squeezing his eyes shut and taking deep breaths in attempts to calm himself down. Kristen patted his back trying to help her brother calm himself, "I'm not going to lie, I'm actually getting kinda scared, it's just...what if they got to far in the woods, and now they're getting attacked by a bear or something! I know it sounds stupid but-"
​


 
​


Kristen sucked her teeth, cutting off Faolan, "Come on, that's not stupid, you're just trying to prepare for the worst. Now look, even if that did happen, Austrianna, Zalena and Juniper would kick that bear's as- er, butt. You'll be fine...yeah! You'll be fine, we just have to take a few moments to gather our thoughts and uh...tell you what! We'll talk to that Castiel kid, he's spent allot of time with Zalena, and he'll probably know where she is! Sound good?"
​


 
​


Faolan nodded, and with a forced smile, Kristen pulled him into her side with one arm, walking with him as they attempted to catch up with the group, 'Thank god that worked, I didn't have anything else to say if it didn't. Okay, just gotta keep bullshitting for a bit longer, then we'll be spit up back at the castle or something!...I hope...' 
​


 
​


The pair got to the front of the group after awhile, with Kristen tapping the shoulder of Castiel to get his attention, "Hey, uh...you wouldn't have happened to see Zalena would you? Or Austrianna and Juniper for that matter, my brother here is just a bit concerned, and well, we haven't seen them here at all!" Kristen attempted to make it as clear as possible, that no matter the truth, she NEEDED to hear a yes from Castiel, or Hassan for that matter. Not for her sake, but for the boy who's shoulder she had a hand on. She looked at the two, "You've seen them, right?"
​


 
​


@GingerBread @Embaga Elder (The last paragraph is really the only one you two need, just wouldn't make sense without context)
​


 
​


Fola
​


Fola went stiff as a board as Vance approached him, shaking slightly as even more worry came over him, 'Oh god no. Fuck me no! I was done, I never had to see him again after the goddamn wedding, that was the deal! Fuck me!" Fola took a breath, attempting to drown Vance out as best he could, but it was next to impossible to do so. Vance knew just how to press his buttons, what to say to set him off. Hell, the only thing he'd actually managed to block out was the explanation Vance gave for his actions, the only part that really mattered! Everything else, from the way he emphasized child killer to how he implied he had killed his kids, it was to much, WAY to much. So it was no surprise when Fola snapped.
​


 
​


Every insult that Vance ever threw his way, every time he made him feel like shit, it all came back to him, and it all made him angrier than he'd been in a LONG time. So he jumped at Vance with a yell, tackling the man to the floor, but instead of punching him, he picked Vance's head up by the sides and began to slam it into the cold concrete below them! His teeth were grit in frustration, as everything he'd been through in the past few days was finally let out. He didn't even speak, he was just focused on shutting Vance up at this point...

Castiel
​




Castiel continued walking on, happy that people were actually trusting him, and were actually listening to him, even if it was just a small amount; For the first time since he'd joined the group, he was actually starting to feel like a leader. He gave Hassan a quick smile as he started walking next to him, though he stayed mostly quiet, even when he saw Vaku, whom he thought looked pretty cool; He continued to stay quiet and looked forwards until Hassan spoke to him. "Alright.. I guess; It's not important or anything is it? And I know I was going the right way, but thanks" Castiel had no idea he was going the right way, he was just hoping he was, so when Hassan confirmed he was right, he had a goofy grin on his face. 'Everything seems to be going alright at the moment.. that's a first' Castiel thought to himself, convinced that everything was going to be alright.


Then Kristen and some other young boy came up to him, asking him if he'd seen Zalena, Juniper or Austrianna. 'Oh yeah.. I forgot' Castiel's goofy grin disappeared from his face as he looked over at Kristen and the boy, quickly gathering that they were worried about them. "Um.. Well.. I saw Austrianna right before we got swallowed up by the degenerates. B-But I did see her get swallowed by one as well" Castiel quickly added, not wanting them to think that she was still in the, probably now collapsed castle. "She, um, told me that she wanted to go and look for Juniper, since she couldn't find her; The Degenerates probably put her somewhere to help with that.. and I'm sure Zalena is probably with her too" Castiel hoped that what he said would put them at ease.. though he was starting to have second thoughts about it, since he just told them that Juniper had gone missing


@LokiofSP @Embaga Elder


Vance
​




Vance was taken by surprise that Fola was putting so much force into his attacks, so much so that he didn't really have time to react and ended up getting his head slammed into the floor multiple times, which resulted in it getting split open and quite a lot of blood to start to spill out into his hair and down his face. 'Fucking hell, did he not listen to what I said? I knew every one of these fucks were stupid, but come on' Vance let his head get slammed against the floor one more time, and as Fola was pulling him back up, he pushed himself backwards into Fola, knocking him back and allowing him to get up. Vance put a hand on his head as he started to feel dizzy, alongside the pounding headache he now just gained. "I think you just gave me a concussion, you dick" Vance took his hand away from his head, only to find it bloody. "Is this how you kill the children, Fola?" Vance moved towards Fola at a quick pace, before throwing a punch towards his gut, when the punch hit, Vance grabbed Fola's head and raised his knee as he started to slam Fola's head down.

Castiel
​




Castiel started looking around the castle in confusion and slight panic as it started to quake and collapse. 'What's happening? Why is it just one disaster after another?! Are we not allowed one moment of peace?' Castiel was taken out of his thoughts as he faintly heard someone shouting in the distance. 'Are they in danger?!' Though before he could go and check if the person needed any help or if they were hurt, Castiel found himself going through the, now familiar feeling of being swallowed and teleported away by a degenerate, and into a random forest in the world, at least he hoped that they hadn't been taken to a different dimension, though he doubted the degenerates had that sort of power anyway. Castiel then started thinking about the Castle collapsing and the fact that his sisters body would be completely gone if the castle and the realm it was in was gone; He had no idea that he'd completely absorbed his sister.


Castiel took a deep breath as he looked around at everyone else. 'I'm sure everything is fine.. besides I need to focus on this right now.. I am the leader after all..' Castiel looked around at everyone around him, noticing that they were missing a couple of people, the most noticeable to him being Zalena and Austrianna. 'Austrianna was right next to me, why isn't she here?! And why isn't Zalena here either?! Are they okay?!' Castiel's face had a look of panic on it as he thought over all these things; Even though he believed that Zalena was using the group for her own gain, and nothing more, he couldn't stop himself from caring about her. 'I'm.. Sure they're fine.. they probably got sent somewhere else.. yeah.. they're probably looking for juniper'  Castiel sighed and closed his eyes as he tried to calm himself down and regain what little composure he had.


Turning towards everyone, Castiel started addressing them, trying to act more like the leader he was. "Right.. so, um.. I have no idea what just happened, and I doubt any of you do either" He wasn't really sure where to go with what he was saying; He had just started talking without really knowing what to say, so he went quiet for a few seconds. "Anyway.. since I have no idea how to get back.. I think we should work on taking down the monarch of.. wherever we are.." Castiel stuck his hands into his pockets, and realised he had a single injection and nothing else on him, apart from his dagger which he never leaves away from him if he can help it. "Though.. I think we should probably find the nearest town first, get some more supplies and then work out how we'll do that. That-" Castiel was about to ask everyone if that was alright with them, but realised that he'd end up nowhere if he wasn't the least bit assertive. "..Right, if no one has any questions, then we'll go do that now, yeah?"

EPSILON / LEONIDAS
​


 
​


Epsilon hits the ground, tumbling and unable to keep her balance as a degenerate spits her out in the middle of... nowhere. A forested ass-end of nowhere. Picking herself up from the dirt, she sees that the others are spit out into the clearing with her, seeing only a few, likely more coordinated or magically inclined catching themselves from falling over. One of the boys - the leader, or one of them, or whatever - starts talking, his hesitant, uncertain tone filling her with very little faith. However, upon offering a plan, she sighs, raising a hand. "I think it would be best if we send out a group to branch out and find this hypothetical 'town'. It could be ten miles away, or a hundred, and, real talk, carting every single person in our little rag tag group is going to be slow and efficient."


She looks to the group, "I can shift without mana, and I can take two on my back, maybe a third if they're small enough. It'll be faster, I can use the senses I get in that form to find the town. Then I can lead the group back to the town, and by the time we get there, whoever is there can establish where we are and where we'll stay, instead of a bunch of kids running around a town like we did in Morocco. Easy-peasy."


Leo watches the exchange, remaining on the edges of clearing from the main center of the group.

Fola went stiff as a board as Vance approached him, shaking slightly as even more worry came over him, 'Oh god no. Fuck me no! I was done, I never had to see him again after the goddamn wedding, that was the deal! Fuck me!" Fola took a breath, attempting to drown Vance out as best he could, but it was next to impossible to do so. Vance knew just how to press his buttons, what to say to set him off. Hell, the only thing he'd actually managed to block out was the explanation Vance gave for his actions, the only part that really mattered! Everything else, from the way he emphasized child killer to how he implied he had killed his kids, it was to much, WAY to much. So it was no surprise when Fola snapped.
​


 
​


Every insult that Vance ever threw his way, every time he made him feel like shit, it all came back to him, and it all made him angrier than he'd been in a LONG time. So he jumped at Vance with a yell, tackling the man to the floor, but instead of punching him, he picked Vance's head up by the sides and began to slam it into the cold concrete below them! His teeth were grit in frustration, as everything he'd been through in the past few days was finally let out. He didn't even speak, he was just focused on shutting Vance up at this point...

GUARDS / THE WARDEN 
​


The guards, dressed in apparent enchanted combat gear, a symbol of a stylized skull over a pentagram on the backs of their uniforms, watch the conflict between Vance and Fola, one laughing, the other more reserved. The more reserved of the two activates a spell that creates a small orb in their hand, which they speak quietly into, too softly to overhear. The other looks over, rolling their eyes as they wave their hand through the magic, "Really? She's probably already on her way. That fuckin' eye of hers, ya know? Let her and the psycho handle it."


As if on cue, the doors open, a cloak figure coming into the room, flanked by a woman carrying a thick spell book open to some page. The woman murmurs lowly, book glowing faintly, as suddenly, both Vance and Fola are thrown away from each other, rendering them completely immobile by a suffocating aura of magic. With another wave of the woman's hand, and more words muttered under her breath, any left over strength within them is diminished, leaving them weak and fatigued.


The guard scoffs, "See, what'd I tell ya? Boom, there she is. Didn't have to lift a finger."


The cloaked figure, clearly the Warden, by the gesture hand of the guard, sends a sharp look to the guards, causing them to practically physically recoil.  She moves forward, glowing eye and maleficent smile the only visible part of her face, until she comes to stand about ten feet, maybe less, from Fola and Vance. "Come now, gentleman," The figure purrs,  clearly female by her voice, "Why the hostility? You were both guild-mates, long ago. Can we not be civilized?"

​




Erin's second trip via degenerate felt surprisingly better than her first. While the feeling of plummeting into the abyss of a creature's mouth definitely wasn't comfortable, after the initial shock, the butterflies in her stomach turned into exhilaration, as if she was going down a rollercoaster. Of course, the ground had to interrupt the darkness and falling sometime or another, but Erin only let out a small grunt when she made contact. [COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)]Yea. That wasn't so bad now, was it? [/COLOR]She quickly gained her bearings and stood up, scanning her surroundings for her brother.

Flynn did not take the fall as gracefully. One moment, some random girl was telling him that he smelled before shoving him into a room full of people, not only sending him into a state of panic, by also delivering him straight into the maw of a degenerate - making his adrenaline shoot spike again. The nauseating combination of darkness and falling only ended as he was unceremoniously spat onto the forest floor, quickly grabbing onto a tree before he lost his lunch. Erin soon spotted him, and as the two silently watched the crowd group up behind Castiel and head to the nearest town, they followed, with Erin wondering if this was their first mission and Flynn simply wondering how the hell he could get out of it.

As they moved along, something strange among the already strange group of kids caught Erin's attention. A small dog, previously resting on some kid's shoulder, suddenly leapt off and morphed into a 5-foot-tall wolf with wings. Erin's jaw dropped, and her gaze flirted between the wolf itself and a figure who nonchalantly decided to ride him. [COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)]"Flynn, it's a wolf," [/COLOR]she whispered, elbowing Flynn in the side without taking her eyes off the wolf. Her brother only glared at her, before taking a glance at the wolf too. [COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)]"Okay, cool."[/COLOR] He quickly followed up his blunt comment by pressing forward, pulling ahead of Erin. Sure, it seemed cool, but Flynn didn't want to be as easily impressed or as willing to meet new people as his sister was - and besides, he had to figure out why the hell someone was using freaky shadowy beings with gigantic mouths to transport them. With Erin soon left behind, she merely crossed her arms and glared back at him.[COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)] "Alright, well I'm seeing the wolf. Don't panic without me around," [/COLOR]she muttered, heading over to Alyson and Vaku.

[COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)]"Hey there!" [/COLOR]Erin's voice ran out from behind Vaku, though she could barely see over the wolf as he was almost her height. [COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)]"Can I just say that your wolf is so cool? Like he's got wings! But he's also a wolf! And... and..." [/COLOR]Erin paused, wondering why she was so amazed by the Vaku in the first place. [COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)]"Oh yea, and he's gigantic." [/COLOR]As she continued talking, Erin crept around Vaku to try and catch a glimpse of his rider. Alyson looked nice enough, and though she was quiet, Erin already felt more comfortable around the white-haired girl since she wasn't immediately scowling or telling her to go away. After a quick wave, Erin gave Alyson an embarrassed smile, hoping that her previous blank didn't make the situation too awkward. [COLOR= rgb(0, 128, 0)]"Hah, sorry about that. Anyways, I'm Erin. What's your name?"[/COLOR]

Flynn, meanwhile, had just discovered the injection in his pocket. As his sister made friends, Flynn slunk back to the rear of the group, pulling out the injection with caution as to not poke himself with the needle. It was certainly strange. One girl - the one with cake - said that she could use her injection to, well, fly. That certainly intrigued him. [COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)]Powers… well, that’s certainly interesting. [/COLOR]Some dim memory flickered within Flynn’s mind, a memory including quite a bit of blood - but as soon as it came, it passed. [COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)]Darn.[/COLOR] He shook the injection a bit, watching the fluid inside it swirl around.[COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)] I know Erin has powers, so she can use this… and I’m pretty sure I have a power too, but I just... I just can’t remember it. [/COLOR]As the contents of the syringe settled, Flynn stared into them with an intensity he usually reserved for people. [COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)]Maybe this will help. I should ask first, though. [/COLOR]Waking up from his stupor and looking around for the first time in a while, Flynn realized he was falling behind, and quickly jogged back up to one of the boys, Suria, and tapped his shoulder. [COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)]" 'Scuse me. What are we supposed to do with these syringes? I mean, what exactly do they do?" [/COLOR]He paused, before throwing in one more question. [COLOR= rgb(218, 165, 32)]"Also, what are we doing here? Is this some routine you guys do?"[/COLOR]

[SIZE= 22px][COLOR= rgb(255, 215, 0)]Alyson[/COLOR][/SIZE]
​


Alyson jumped a bit when Erin yelled out to her. Her head dropped even lower as she tried to hide her face. The girl who approached her, seemed pretty interested in Vaku. She complimented his wings, and his size. Alyson turns her head away from Erin so she didn't have to see her. [COLOR= rgb(255, 215, 0)]Tha-thank you, but he isn't mine. He's my cousin. [/COLOR]Alyson didn't noticed when Erin made her way around Vaku, just to look at Alyson. So when Alyson saw Erin her eyes widened and she froze just for a moment before awkwardly waving back. When Erin asked for Alyson's name, her head dropped a tad. [COLOR= rgb(255, 215, 0)]Al-Alyson.[/COLOR] She said softly. Alyson didn't really expect someone to come up and talk to her, but she guessed that the big wolf drawn some attention to her. She looks at Hassan, as he was already within a conversation with other members of the group. [COLOR= rgb(255, 215, 0)]Well played Han. [/COLOR]She thought to herself, as she realized that Hassan used Vaku, to draw attention to Alyson. @Lotusy

​


[SIZE= 14px]Cole was getting a bit annoyed with the bickering of Fola and Vance. When the doors opened, the cloaked figure and the woman following her caught his attention. There was no doubt that the Warden was the one in the cloak. He noticed as the woman's mouth was moving, but he couldn't hear exactly what she was saying. But as soon as she finished Vance and Fola were separated from each other. [/SIZE][COLOR= rgb(75, 0, 130)]Of course it's magic. [/COLOR]Cole said to himself. He watches as the warden walks up to vance and Fola, questioning them about their hostility. [COLOR= rgb(75, 0, 130)]As if Vance can be civilized. [/COLOR]He said in a chuckle.

Myra
​


 
​


Though Myra heard the two talking about her she chose to ignore it, even ignoring a certain creature that truly peaked her interest: Vaku. It was a rare occurrence someone would be able to witness a small creature that once rested upon a shoulder to transform into a massive beast fit for riding! From what she could see of the two however the one thing that peaked her interest more than the wold creature was the rider, a woman who unfortunately shared the same silver tint in their hair. Whomever they were didn't matter, it wasn't like Myra was going to stay with this rag-tag group of misfits, as soon as time would allow it she'd abandon them. It wasn't anything against them however, it was just a fact that she didn't like what they had in mind for dealing with the corrupt powers that be; death was the only solid option.


Myra extended her hand out in front of her, the Sun engulfing the pale skin of her fingertips, brightening up what features were exposed. It took her a second to prepare but she eventually put down the umbrella, allowing her face to bathe in the Sun's warm rays; something she rarely allowed to. What she felt was a sudden relief, the fact she wouldn't have to worry about the sun until her next dose was something she quite enjoyed, yet dreaded as the thought of a possible lingering bit of mana could somehow activate while her entire body was revealed to the Sun was stuck within the back of her mind always making her, no...wanting her to put up the umbrella and thrive within the darkness. Pushing all that back though she allowed the umbrella to fall to her side, hand still tightly locked upon the handle. 


Tuning out all of Alyson and Erin's conversation she turned to Castiel. "How about you send a few people on that wolf? It would be faster and then they could make sure the town still stands."

[COLOR= rgb(128, 128, 128)]Hassan[/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]Hassan ignored the smiles Castiel gave him when he first started walking with him. [/COLOR][COLOR= rgb(128, 128, 128)]Naw, not really. just gotta talk[/COLOR][COLOR= rgb(128, 128, 128)].[/COLOR][COLOR= rgb(128, 128, 128)] [/COLOR][COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]he said lying about the importance of the talk. Hassan honestly didn't want to raise suspicion and have someone ease drop on their conversation, hearing something they shouldn't. After giving Castiel an answer he probably wanted to hear, Hassan fell silent. Soon enough Kristen and someone else approached Castiel questioning him about Zalena and Austrianna.  Kristen couldn't be even more clear. It didn't matter if Castiel really knew where they were or not, she just wanted him to say that he did, for her brother sake. [/COLOR][COLOR= rgb(128, 128, 128)]I'm sure wherever they are, Austrianna would be able to keep them both safe. [/COLOR][SIZE= 14.66px]He gave them both a small controlled smiled, after giving his two cents. Soon a girl decided to speak up about making this transition to the town a bit quicker. Her plan wasn't that terrible. Hassan looks at her than at Castiel. He was going to speak up, but someone decided to offer Vaku up as a means of transport. Hassan snapped his head towards Myra, giving her an icy glare. [COLOR= rgb(128, 128, 128)]How about you ask me instead of someone who doesn't know a thing about that "wolf" or us for a matter of fact?? [/COLOR]Hassan said with a cool, calm, and even tone; even though he was a bit angry..He didn't appreciate how Myra decided to offer Vaku up for a mean's of transportation and didn't even ask him. I don't know who the hell you are, but you ain't just gone offer up my wolf like that. He ain't no means for transport for every fucking body, only me and Alyson mainly, and he rarely leaves my sight. So if you were to ask me, the answer just might be No. [/SIZE]Hassan spoke without taking his blood red eyes off of Myra.

Fola
​


Fola stumbles back after his face met Vance's knee, clutching his now bloody and broken nose. He let loose a guttural growl from his throat and threw a punch aimed at Vance's face, but once it connected, it felt less like a strong punch and more like  a wet sack of meat, 'What the hell?! I know I'm getting older, but come on, I shouldn't feel THIS terrible after one punch!' Fola backed up, bracing himself for Vance's rebuttal or whatever teasing he may throw his way, only to realize on top of being weak, he felt like he was Rocky Balboa after fifty rounds. He looked around, bewildered at how he felt all of this so suddenly, only to see a woman in a cloak approaching both him and Vance...
​


 
​


"Why the hostility? You were both guild-mates, long ago. Can we not be civilized?" The woman asked.
​


 
​


Fola looked at her, the bewilderment slowly turning into that of annoyance, "Let's make something clear here lady, you ruled out the civilized option the moment you pulled me out of MY house, away from MY kids, separated me from MY wife, and put me in with a bunch of people I was hoping I'd see in the obituaries by now! So you better drop that fucking smart tone right now, because once we find a way out, and we WILL find a way out by the way, I swear to god you'll be the first person I fucking gut!" The man was breathing heavily at this point, not just from the fatigue he'd suddenly been hit with, but also the genuine anger and stress that he was reliving a tiny bit of with every word he spoke...
​


 
​


 
​



 
​


Kristen+Faolan
​


Kristen let loose a breath and muttered a small thank you to Castiel. She looked down at her brother with a small grin, "See? Told you they were fine! They'll probably meet up with us soon, after they find Juniper and all that!" 
​


 
​


Faolan let loose a sigh of relief at this, though he was clearly still concerned, he seemed to feel slightly better about the situation, "O-okay, good, that's good...we know where they are, and we'll see them soon and everything's gonna be fine! That's cool..." He nodded at this, less out of acknowledgement of what Castiel or Kristen had said, and more so as if he was doing it to convince himself that everything would be fine.
​


 
​


Kristen smiled once again and rubbed her hand through Faolan's hair before making her way down to him ears, placing her hand over it and bringing him even closer into her to make sure he couldn't hear out of the other one either. She looked to Castiel one again, her smile dropping as soon as she turned from her brother, instead turning to a scowl, "Okay so listen, once we get to town we're going to sit down and you'll tell me what you ACTUALLY saw happen to my sisters, sound good? Great, once we settle down a bit I'll come find you..." She began to walk a bit slower then, falling behind a bit, but after a brief pause, she walked up a bit closer once more, "Also...thanks for what you just did. I wasn't getting anywhere in calming him down and well...you really helped me out, so uh...yeah, thanks." She then fell behind once more, pulling Faolan along with her...
​


 
​

 

[SIZE= 24px]Castiel[/SIZE]
​




Castiel smiled at Kristen and Faolan as they walked off; He wasn't exactly sure what to say, since Kristen still wanted to hear more about what he knew about what happened to her sisters, but didn't want him to say anything in front of Faolan. When they left, Castiel looked over at Hassan, just in time to hear him start to talk to him. "Alright, if we have time then we can talk; I just wanted to make sure it wasn't too important, just in case something happens, you know?" Castiel shrugged as stuck his hands into his pockets, looking forwards as he walked along the path. When Hassan spoke up again, to talk to some other woman who had spoken up, Castiel look back towards him. "Do you really have to swear? I mean, they are quite a lot of children here.." He sighed as he stopped and turned around to face everyone else, mainly focusing on everyone who seemed to have a problem with his idea of walking to the town as a full group. "Look, it may be quicker to send someone to scout out the town first, but we're not doing that. We're in a foreign place and, quite frankly I have no idea where we are, and I'm not going to risk someone dying, just for the sake of speeding something up, and if you guys are going to complain this much about walking somewhere, then just.." Castiel pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed again, turning around and becoming silent as he looked forwards and carried on. He was worried about losing more people, especially since they'd just been spit out somewhere unknown; He figured that until they had some sort of plan, it was best to stick together since there was safety in numbers.

[SIZE= 24px]Vance[/SIZE]
​




Vance didn't think he was that old that he had this much taken out of him from that little, but the real reason he felt drained was quickly made apparent as he was forced away from Fola and was immobilized. 'So, it seems she needs that book to actually be able to do anything.. interesting.. Probably the reason why she needs to keep us without our powers.. though I wonder why the guards didn't do anything, and got them to show up.. maybe they're all just massive pussies'  Vance thought as Fola went of his tirade towards the woman. "Calm down, Child killer" He smirked at Fola before turning his attention towards the woman, the one who seemed to think cloaks were an appropriate to wear, if you wanted to be taken seriously. "You know, the more I hear about this, the stupider you guys seem. I mean, anyone with a hint of knowledge about who any of us are, would know that I don't get along with anyone.. and this child killer is an emotional drunk.. not to mention he hates my guts.. so you tell me, do you really think we can be civilized?" Vance kept a blank expression on his face as he spoke to the woman. "Oh, and while we're asking questions.. do your guards call you to wipe their arses for them too? Or just for taking down old hero's who have no powers? Or, is it that you're still scared of us, and you wanted to deal with the problem yourself? Is that why you need our powers gone? Because otherwise, you two would be cowering and begging for your life?"
