IN THE FOREST OF THE LOST

[beathollow]

it's all too perfect.

Oberon dies with a wail, and only two remain.

Unfortunately, they both know Marin Karin. Bugbear brainwashes Arven, while Leanan Sidhe brainwashes Celeste.

Hmph. Perhaps you should reconsider your allies.

... That was Mafuyu's mother?

[moodwrecker]

[So they need to burn down the other two ASAP too, got it.]

Mabufula!

[Jade Rabbit appears to try to ice, them, but unfortunately she misses on both counts (6, 2)]

[finalmix]

[ grumbling. even if it's mafuyu's mother-- ]

No one asked for your opinion~

[ he's slamming a giant slice (19) into the bugbear because that bless block is being annoying so that needs to go first ok ]

[cirquedesang]

[A h.

Perhaps his people-pleasing to get through the palace is going a little too far, because he's hit with the brainwash and immediately fires an Eiga at Joshua for a hard hit of Medium Curse (19...)]

[finalmix]

[ at least it's not quite a critical hit...?

but ow.

it's close enough to it anyway that that curse attack sends joshua flying across the room and right into one of the glass windows. the impact is pretty hard but the glass doesn't shatter.

yet.

there are cracks though, and he looks pretty winded.

(definitely cursing up a storm at that though. what the actual fuck.) ]

[cirquedesang]

[And of course the brainwash is cleared right after--

At least it wasn't quite a critical hit............]

Ah- Sorry...!

[That. Really looks bad. And he can't even give a Dia since heals aren't free- But there is a mental note to make it up to him somehow eventually.]

[goei]

[Izou's trying another Maeiga, which does miss the Bugbear (9) but lands bigly on the Leanan Sidhe (20).]

Perhaps you should shut the hell up, huh!? How about that!!

[ledbythewind]

[HELLO DO NONE OF YOU APPRECIATE CLEANSES

why u making Richard have to do all of this.

Energy Shower for Arven and Celeste!!!]

[cirquedesang]

[Thank u much appreciate--]

[supherb]

[He’s holding his head in horror as soon as he comes out of it. He feels so gross.]

S-Sorry…I’m sorry…

[emptyself]

[ oh my god soujuurou is so fucking sick of the bugbear that he's calmly going to give it a hard punch (13) to where he figures the diaphragm would be. ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Sunrise looks up for a moment as if that will let her locate the source of the voice, but then tries to use a Giant Slice on the Leanan Sidhe. It misses (4) ]

[supherb]

[Now it’s time for Arven’s eyes to go dull as he turns to have Hestia unleash Maragi upon the party, hitting Soujuurou (17) and Izou (20) while scattering flames around the others and across the banquet hall.]

[emptyself]

[ soujuurou yelps when struck by the fire, eyes wide as plates as he realizes what's going on. the fire damage hurts, but he's still standing. ]

Arven!! Arven snap out of it! We're not your enemy!

[supherb]

[Arven’s voice is monotone as he responds.]

Get out. Just…get out. You’re not fit to be in her presence.

[goei]

[Izou: EVERYONE IS SO MEAN TO ME

He yelps ws he's burned by fire, but the crit means Arven does enough structual damage to the top of Izou's kimono (he's in just his normal outfit but white... His normal hakama are already tattered) that it's now irreparably hanging open exposing his chest to torment Amity and like half of the guys in Lanternfam.]

Oi get yer head on straight, Picnic!!

[beathollow]

Caitie is bullying me. But the display does get an affronted gasp from the servants, and Bugbear takes a moment to throw a tablecloth at him. Cover them up!!!

[supherb]

[Arven does not see it, he’s too brainwashed.]

Leave. She doesn’t want you here.

[beathollow]

Leanan Sidhe casts Psio on Izou (10) and just barely misses- maybe it's because she's getting worn down a bit.

Meanwhile, Bugbear is getting the stuffing beaten out of it. It's looking kinda ragged, and decides to use Life Drain on Aubrey... but totally beefs it.

[emptyself]

[ ok the damage is beginning to wear down at soujuurou, which means that he unfortunately whiffs the kick to the leanan sidhe (6). izou's tits being on fire distracted him or whatever. ]

[supherb]

S-Sorry, guys…

[Let him fix his mistake and provide some healing. Media is used on Soujuurou, Izou and Joshua.]

[cirquedesang]

[The fire must be distracting, because Celeste attempts to hit both enemies with a Maeiga, but whiffs it against the Leanan Sidhe (1), and barely hits the Bugbear (12)......]

[goei]

[Izou is NOT covering them up, but perhaps because the dregs of his top are getting in his way, he just barely whiffs his retaliatory strike at bugbear (10)]

Don't throw shit at me!!

[moodwrecker]

Ugh, go away already!

[Aubrey tries for another Mabufula - this time hitting the Leanan Sidhe (12) even if she misses the Bugbear (4)]

[finalmix]

[ honestly when joshua picks himself up (with some help from arven's heal) finally he's pissed.

not at celeste though. brainwash does weird things.

but he's pissed off enough that he 100% is looking to take it out on a target and the leanan sidhe is getting a kouga (16) to the face. ]

Now you've made me angry.
