SHADOW AUBREY attempts to raise her shield against the attacks, but Eli, Yoon, Kaine, and Jesse all strike true - enough to draw an agonized scream from her as they hit. Around her, the whispers continue, however small and petty they are compared to the Shadow now before them.
“Did you see her clothing... It was completely inappropriate for church...”
With another scream, this one of fury, SHADOW AUBREY once again casts Wage War - this time hitting Eli (17), Maika (14), Kaine (20), and Jesse (16). They are now enraged! Richard, Yoon, and Mafuyu manage to keep their heads - for now.
She follows it up with a Mabufu, hitting Eli (11), Maika (14), Kaine (15), and Mafuyu (15) with light Ice Damage! All characters who are currently enraged each receive double the damage and find themselves Knocked Down!
A new status effect is in play and has been added to the Rules List:
Knocked Down: The character has taken a heavy hit and been knocked to the floor. They cannot take action until a standing character has spent their action to help them back to their feet. Despite this, enraged status will continue until it is cured.
Richard (6), Yoon (7), and Jesse (5) manage to dodge the ice! Good for them!
Then Kainé is on the floor, moderately wounded already from the rebound from her own attack and the double ice damage. When Yoon helps her up. she almost lunges the minute he has her back on her feet; it probably won't be hard to recognize that the rage is still there.]
Get the hell out of my way. I'm gonna grab this fuckass by the ears and rip its skull in half.
[She pushes past him to go attack... in a new comment for cleanliness.]
[ Hey, hey, that's Aubrey, isn't it? Shouldn't people go easier on her?! But ah, he remembers feeling the same way earlier...that was definitely something uncanny, huh. And he also hit Aubrey pretty hard, so...
He's too irritated by her shove to give anyone a cleanse at the moment, though. Whoops! Good thing others have that covered. ]
[Oh. Oh no. There's so much going on at once. People enraged, people hurt, people knocked down... Arven doesn't even know where to begin trying to help.
But after a brief moment of panic, he slaps his cheeks to focus. Come on, Arven, just start somewhere.
[Maika has encountered his issues with food made by strangers!! She should understand why he didn't touch the sandwiches!! Still, that does indeed make him a bit of an idiot, and that's why he doesn't protest nearly as vehemently to that heal as he would otherwise, instead giving a frazzled:]
... thank you.
[He does at least have manners, if nothing else. That's probably why he silently casts Energy Shower on Maika in an attempt to cure that Rage... it's just paying the favor back, that's all.]
[Yoon gets her up, but she's still berserking and throws herself forward to attack again. How different that is from her normal colorful personality is still up in the air.
The multiple hits and the anger make her follow-up physical attack (4) swing wide and miss, sword just arcing uselessly in a dead end arc.]
[ Arven helped Eli back up and he's immediately charging after the Shadow again. No abilities, since he's still enraged, but he is going to sock her with a good one-two punch (17). Raaaaah! ]
Mafuyu manages to hit her with an arrow and Eli with his fists, but the other attempted attacks are all deflected successfully by her shield.
“I can’t believe she would bring a weapon in here... How uncivilized...”
While she's beginning to flag somewhat from the damage dealt, she has a spell for that too - casting Dia on herself before beginning her counter attack in full.
With rabbit-quick movements, she darts from person to person with a barrage of attacks - she misses Yoon (9), Eli (10), and Arven (4) but strikes Kaine with a Giant Slice - medium physical damage to a single target! Sou (5), Maika (1), and Jesse (8) also manage to avoid getting hit, although Richard (16) is not so lucky, eating a Homerun Bat (light ice damage).
Mafuyu is ignored entirely for this turn. 2 Uses Left.
( once again the princess manifests, offering the party a basket of apples... you can't take them but instead, kaine is healed with diarama for a medium amount! )
[She's taking a beating - mentally and physically. WIth her status element cured and the worst of her wounds healed, she at least has the presence of mind to offer Mafuyu what she could not offer Yoon.]
[This is absolutely not Richard's day. He COULD heal himself, but the damage isn't so great yet that he feels the need to do that, instead opting to cast Tarunda on the Shadow instead.
Less damage means less need for healing and more chances to focus on attacking!]
So nobody took the time to understand you, and now you're making it our problem? What're we supposed to do about it?
[Like too many things in this palace, the snide murmurs hit an exposed nerve that sings when struck. Pretty much all of her attention is now squarely on Aubrey's Shadow.]
Tyrann, stop slacking, asshole.
[Freed from the shackles of nothing but physical attacks, Kainé calls her Persona - which looks alarmingly like her, just twisted and shadowy and wrong - and lashes out with a Psio (17) for medium psy damage of her own.]
[Now that his rage blinders are off (somewhere in the distance: Your meth is good, Jesse…as good as mine.) Jesse notices that a whole load of people are getting trashed.]
Yo, Sirius, do your thing.
[Get ready for Media heals from a magic greyhound.]
[ He... hasn't been listening to what anyone else has been saying, actually, but the idea of "attack the shadows" comes to him because what they're saying is pissing him off. Even without the enrage effect, he would be pissed, but since he does have it, well... ]
Will you useless assholes shut the fuck up?!
[ He pivots from fighting Aubrey's Shadow, launching himself into the shadows instead to physically fling one of the pews they sit on over (14). ]

There's no time to reflect, though, because several people are knocked down onto the floor. He looks over at the injured and- ]
Ah, Miss!!
[ He'll run over to Kaine and help her up. Good thing he and Mafuyu both cast a defense spell, eh? ]
Are you okay?!
threats of graphic violence itp
The rage comes back.

He reaches for Eli.]
C'mon, get up! I'll heal you guys in a sec!

That's it, I'm kicking that thing's ass!
[ Unfortunately, he's also still enraged, so he's launching right back into the fight madder than usual. Which is. Not much of a chance, actually. ]

D'you think we can attack them? They might be shadows, but that's basically what we've been fighting anyway.
