it's all too perfect.

[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.

[emptyself]

Maybe. But I already said I was going to help save her. So I'm not backing away now.

[ soujuurou is surprisingly stubborn sometimes. ]

[supherb]

It’s cute that you think you can save her. No one can. She’s already accepted that.

[No one let Arven know what he said when he was brainwashed.]

[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.

[cleansewithfire]

[ Sunrise would like this to be over before more brainwashing shenanigans can happen.

...So of course she tries to stab the Leanan Sidhe with her bayonet but proceeds to beef it (2). ]

[ledbythewind]

[Looks like Richard will also be joining the "Nailed It" crew with this (9)...]

[beathollow]

... B-breather round for everyone...

Leanan Sidhe is as tired of this as you all are, though. She casts Marin Karin, inflicting Aubrey with BRAINWASH.

Bugbear, meanwhile, has it out for Soujuurou as much as he does the bear. So it's swiping it's heavy claws again, but barely misses (9).

[supherb]

[Arven’s getting so worn out by this, even he’s joining in on attacking.]

Just die already!

[He uses Turn Up the Heat and flings a fireball out of his frying pan straight at Leanan Sidhe (17).]

[strawsandals]

[ Y'all good? No? Okay, have some help...

Yoon uses Dragon's Claw (17) to swipe at Bugbear before he walks back out. You got this, he's got Mafuyu's items to guard... ]

[cirquedesang]

[Yeah this is getting ridiculous... (thanks, Avrae--)

Finally, Celeste decides to go with a physical attack and lands a Giant Slice (15) on Leanan Sidhe.]

[goei]

[Even with the monsters getting worn down, Izou is STILL unable to land a hit!

In his frustration he rips off what's left of his top, and is now properly shirtless.]

[moodwrecker]

[Like a puppet with its strings cut, Aubrey goes slack for a moment, the light leaving her eyes... only for her to turn on Sunrise, hitting her with a Giant Slice (12)]

[emptyself]

[ this shit is personal now. he’s so tired of bears.

have a punch to the sternum (18), you overgrown teddy bear. ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Sunrise is now extra done with the brainwashing and this time her Magarula hits both of them (17, 13). ]
