Yi Sang, cleansed, immediately turns around and carries the Marionette away again. Fuck the Queen, actually. Behind the party's a good place, right? And then he enters a defensive position, acting as her guardian.
Argenti's attack makes contact and the Queen cries out, slamming her scepter into the coffin- which makes Snow White within flinch, inching to the side as best she can. Turns out, she's been awake the whole time!
The Queen casts Mafreila once more, hitting McGillis (12), Arven (16), Eli (12) and Izou (18).
She then casts Dormina, putting Jesse, McGillis, Aubrey, Izou and Richard into a Sleep.
when joshua sees the dormina shit go down he rolls his eyes, mouths seriously?! and proceeds to slap the nearest healer awake, which just so happens to be jesse. ]
[ Ow? Ow, ow, fucking ow?! But it isn't as bad as last time. Eli grits his teeth and pushes through the pain, relying on someone else to manage the healing... hopefully.
Yet again, Eli is trying to strike the glass coffin, and this time he manages to actually get a big old Giant Slice (16) off on it! ]
[ finally shaking off the effects of all the mental fuckery that happened, he runs straight towards the queen and...tries to take a hold of the scepter in her hands, yanking it.(13)
[ That's the sound of McGillis trying to cling to the feeling of pain in order to stay awake, but-- nope, it's futile. He collapses like a doll with his strings cut, probably partially on Izou.
[Considering he's not being targeted for once, he'll absolutely hit the queen herself with another hard Eiga (18).
Should he have played the music box again? Maybe. But... well, he really wants to hurt her, and maybe if she continues striking the coffin when she gets hit she'll help break it.]
The Queen struggles to keep hold of the scepter but fails (3)- Soujuurou's royal wand, now. But then, on top of that, she's hit with a powerful curse- one she's able to resist, but it gives Argenti the fuel he needs to knock her back and even shatter the glass coffin.
Snow White sits up, giving him a warm, soft smile before she seems to vanish- but the Marionette weakly lifts a hand and casts Marakakuja, raising the party's defense.
The Queen comes to a stand, face distorted with a wild fury.
How dare you-
She doesn't need the scepter to cast, and so she casts Bug, hitting Argenti, Celeste, Soujuurou, Jesse, Izou, Aubrey and Yoon.
She then attempts to strike McGillis, but fails.
From here on out, unless afflicted with a condition that calls for Disadvantage, everyone may roll with advantage.
[ oh, queen. didn't you know better than to not frighten a feral cat too much? due to the tug-of-war, soujuurou's knocked back by the hits that are landing to the queen that's too close to him. and he takes the debuff head on as well.
the terror is clear on his face. the horror of being used, of being hated, of having his mind messed with. and he's got a blunt weapon in his hands.
with a genuinely desperate roar of desperation, like an animal struggling to survive, he runs towards the queen again, bringing down the scepter like a club to her head (12). ]
[...She really doesn't like being cursed, huh? Even though she resist it.
As he's hit with Bug, everyone around him looks... ominous. Threatening. There's the impulse to isolate himself, and to lash out at people who "pretend" to also care for him and Mafuyu, so-
He'll fire a Maeiga at Arven (17), Izou (17), Eli (16), and McGillis (14).]

This time he aims a kick straight into the Queen's stomach to assist with all of these efforts to try to knock her back some.
