Alistar: Waking up on a cold floor, the unknowing goddess groaned while sitting up. It had been a while since she had felt like this. Had she been drugged? Blinking widely she tried to force the tired feeling from her eyes. Shivering from a strange feeling, she looked around in the dark room trying to see if anyone else was around her. She knew better than to say anything though. You never could know what or who was around you that may want you dead.

@Sinn @whiters4

Sinn — 08/13/2022

Estelle's eyes frantically moved beneath their lids until finally separating. The floor beneath her was hard and cold. Why though? Last she knew she was in her bed. Pushing up off the floor, her body felt strangely sore. Her head swirled about which told her what had happened. She had used this type of thing for some people before. Someone drugged her and put her here. Her arms tried stretching out but tapped against a glossy surface. Estelle was really confused now as the room felt empty yet not at the same time. Unable to see anything around her, she began to whisper. "Hello? Anyone around?"

Roxy — 08/15/2022

Alistar: Hearing someone whispering a 'Hello', she turned in that direction. Here. She called while standing up. It was like playing a weird game of marco polo with someone. As she walked forward though, her face came into contact with a hard, but shiny, glass surface making a loud thud sound along with her cry of irritation and surprise.

@Sinn

Sinn — 08/15/2022

Her eyes glanced around in the dark. As if she would be able to see anything. She called out a few more times. After some silence, her shoulders lowered. An exhale of failure weighing heavy on her. But she figured she'd try one last time. Just for the hell of it. "Hello?" she said without any expectation of a response. This time was different and she perked up. 'This voice kind of sounds familiar..' she thought. The back and forth continued as she heard a nearby thud. Similar to when she had bumped into something. Her hands held forward a bit until she felt skin beneath her touch. "Alistar? Is that you?" she asked the other person.

@Roxy

whiters4 — 08/17/2022

”Why are we whispering? Alexus asked, rubbing the side of his face that had been on the floor. He only had one drink yesterday, so unless someone put a ruffie in it, it made no sense for a sleepless death bringer to be waking up right now. It was tragic, and why did it lead to him waking up in such a dark place? As he pawed around for his scythe and tapped it on the floor, causing it to start glowing, the voices inside the weapon were more informative than his own reasoning at the moment. If they didn’t remember getting here, either, than…”We’re in the shit, aren’t we.” He sighed, getting up and dusting off. His scythe was only glowing enough to light his face as he glanced for the more familiar voice. ”Alistair~”

@Roxy @Sinn

Roxy — 08/18/2022

Alistar: Blinking as she heard her name from two voices, both of them people she knew, the goddess grinned. In a voice barely above a whisper she spoke. "Because we don't know where we are or who may be around that we don't want to attract the attention of." Feeling around, she tried to find the size of the room she was in. She could see a faint light near her but it only caused her to see movement from the corner of her eyes. Turning to look at it, she caught sight of creatures moving in the mirrors. To her horror, they looked very much like things from her past, or those blasted creatures from Drake's other realm. One of the creatures turned it's disgusting head and she locked eyes with it. Amber eyes widened in horror as a strange feeling of being stalked came over her along with tremendous fear. Tearing her eyes away from the creature and ran for a break in the mirrors around her. 

@whiters4 @Sinn

Sinn — 08/19/2022

Not long after she found Alistar, there was another voice. One that wasn't familiar to her. Unfortunately, it wasn't like she could put a voice to a face. It was one she hadn't heard before. In the corner of her eye, she saw a faint glow on the floor. But she couldn't tell what it was and it was gone almost as soon as she saw it. "Knowing the school, it would be beings that aren't exactly friendly. So as Alistar said, best we don't attract unwanted attention." Her hands continued feeling the walls around them. Every now and then tapping on a smooth surface. Mirrors, like the one she felt when she first woke up. She caught something reflective in one of them. Narrowing her eyes, she found the creature was already staring as their gazes met. It's eyes seemed to pierce through her. A dreaded feeling washed over her. Almost like she was going to be sick. Her head swirled with a heavy dizziness. It took some effort but she pulled her eyes away. Footsteps tapped around the floor and she felt around for that other person. After finding their arm, she helped them to their feet. "Come on, we've gotta go." Then proceeded to lead them in the direction of the other footsteps. That is, if they would follow her that is. If they didn't, she would release them and hoped they would anyway. 

@Roxy @whiters4

whiters4 — 08/19/2022

Okay, those were answers he could have guessed, it wasn’t like they knew he was here and could know the answer to at least one of those questions. ”Mm, I see both of your lifespans, but not anything else’s.” He thought he was confirming, vaguely seeing an outline of Alistar’s form. He was turning to the other set of footsteps to maybe coax them both in his direction when the Egyptian flew past on a quick exit route. ”Uh??” Was all he managed to vocalize before there was a pull on his arm and they were apparently all running. He didn’t need to be given a reason to run, but to do so blindly, literally and figuratively? ”Follow one wall, it’s the best way not to get all our asses lost!” He called to the person leading, though he sounded a touch confused, still. @Sinn @Roxy

Roxy — 08/20/2022

Alistar: Hearing Alexus' confirmation about their lifespan she was a bit confused how he could see that but there had been stranger things at this school. "Left side!" She called back as she hit the door. Panting she glanced back recognizing the other two with her from their voices. Herr hand came out to touch the left wall, feeling the smooth texture of glass. Thankfully both of them seemed to be right behind her and she didn't see the creatures anymore. Once they had caught up, she did her best to peer ahead into the darkness. "Glad it's the two of you I'm in here with. Not sure if you guys know each other. Estelle, that's Alexus. Alexus, meet Estelle. Anyone have any way of making more light for us?" Biting her lip she hoped they could get out of this place quickly.

@whiters4 @Sinn

Sinn — 08/22/2022

When Alexus said he was able to see only their lifespans, it confirmed what she had suspected. She had heard of these types of creatures before. Spectors, as the feelings she felt when looking at one fit the bill. As she led Alexus, she spoke in a lower tone. "Don't look these creatures in the eye. They're called specters and the effects are immediate. If you do somehow look, either try to look away or let one of us know. I'll inform Alistar and let her know as well." It wasn't long until they had caught up to her. Seemingly all going in the right direction and she let Alexus' arm go. Alistar gave the introductions before she could. But knowing names wasn't exactly on the top of her list. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Alexus." Estelle glanced around for any hint on a way to go before giving Alistar the same rundown she gave Alexus not too long ago. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something. She stared at it for a bit to try to comprehend what it was. Until she saw a familiar face. It was her lover, Bunzo. What's he doing here?! she thought. From what she could see, he looked battered and beaten. Causing her heart to ache until he was dragged away. Then there was the mental dilemma on whether it was real or not. But it sounded and looked just like him. She couldn't shake the feeling that eyes were on her. At the same time, she couldn't risk something truly happening to him. As if something or someone was controlling her actions, she began to follow. Some slight waves of nausea as her head was fighting itself. Her hallucination ability going head to head with the specter's. Just when she thought she'd get to him, he was dragged yet again.

@Roxy @whiters4 

whiters4 — 08/24/2022

What a wild way to wake up, Alexus wasn’t used to be shaken to such an extent that he could feel adrenaline pumping through his veins. He was sure he’d never heard of specters before, and he’d certainly yet to see one since both women began running. Stopping to regroup, then, was a nice opportunity to properly collect themselves, Alexus shifting his scythe into different items of light to see which would best not illuminate these specters he was leaning about. ”Pleasure’s mine, Cosa Dolce…So is this about the mirrors? Why not just break them then?” Without further thought, he’d make his scythe a bat, wipe his hands on his jeans, swing, and yelp as he veered away at the last second, instead flailing in the air and landing on the ground. Rylee had appeared in the mirror? His head was fuzzy with terror as he held his chest, panting. ”Can these things physically harm us? Because if not, maybe we get out without relying on a way to see, after all.”

@Roxy @Sinn

Roxy — 08/24/2022

Alistar: Listening to Estelle explain about the creatures, she nodded. Well that would explain the strange feeling she got earlier. Glancing back at Alexus, she wasn't surprised when the vampire tried to brute force break the mirrors. Wincing at the rebound, she had only turned away for a moment when she realized that Estelle wasn't with them anymore. Glancing around, she saw the woman walking away. "Estelle!" She called, quickly making a grab for her hand. Glancing at the mirror the woman was looking at, Alistar saw Drake being tortured. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to look away and back to Alexus. "How about we do a buddy style system until we get out? Walk out side by side, each one keeps an eye on another one to stop them from doing something not cool? We should keep moving though. I don't want to get stuck in here." 

@whiters4 @Sinn

Sinn — 08/25/2022

Her eyes franticly looked around only to see the tail end. In the background, she'd heard her name called out. Then a hand grabbed hers. The sickened feeling lingered while she was unable to tear her eyes from the mirror.  A head to head battle of hallucinating abilities. Like two rams butting heads in her mind. It took quite a bit of effort, but she regained some control of herself. Only just now realizing what Alexus had asked. Estelle was hit with a wave of nausea as she managed to look away. Perhaps turning her gaze just a tad too fast.  Her free hand placed her palm on the side of her head. "If it were that easy to break the mirrors, the spectors would've done so already. It may be a good thing. I don't want to find out what else they're capable of should they break. We should get out of here as fast as we're able to. Since it was able to make a connection with me, maybe I can hit it back with a hallucination of my own. Maybe that we were never really here. It's worth a shot anyway.." An idea that would be of no cost to them. But was worth a try and she was ready to book it out of here. She probably wouldn't be going to actual fun houses for a while if one ever came around.

@Roxy @whiters4

whiters4 — 08/26/2022

Ho boy this place was going to eat them alive, wasn’t it. Alexus was fairly confident in that much as he gathered himself from a heap on the floor and once more dusted himself off. Can’t break the mirrors that are surrounding you and can’t look at the mirrors that are surrounding you- excellent, grade A trap to put a bunch of adults in. ”It sounds like you’re saying they can’t leave the mirrors? But I swear something else is in here.” Alexus observed, nodding at Alistar’s idea of a buddy system. ”Yeh? I saw let’s save countermeasures for an emergency and get moving like Gattina here has suggested, so far we’re getting our asses kicked.” No offense, of course, but his hair was standing on end and he’d just seen his wife, rather than coming up with multiple ideas, he’d prefer brute force over strategy right about now. Ive got the light, so I’ll…lead our buddy system.” It pained him to say that last part, he could hold his own but he was not confrontational. Thankfully, it really did sound like these specters couldn’t cause harm outside their mirrors. Turning his scythe into a hand held light, he stuck to the left wall and began walking. @Roxy @Sinn

EriTanaka — 08/29/2022

@Roxy

Roxy — 08/29/2022

@Sinn @whiters4 

Alistar: Following after Alexus as he led the way she was actually glad that there was someone who could conjure light. Taking his free hand, she held out one for Estelle and became the bridge between the two. With Alexus' light and suggestion of picking a wall it didn't take them long before they found their way outside into fresh air. Sighing happily, she quickly shut the door behind them and leaned on it. Was Drake dealing with similar things? She hoped not. "Alright, seems like we get a moment to breathe." She really shouldn't have said that because as she did, the smart watch on her wrist... that she hadn't even realized was there, lit up and said something about a challenge beginning. "What the hell? A challenge? We have to fight someone?" 

Sinn — 08/30/2022

Estelle remained quiet as they navigated their way out. Making sure to stay close to the other two. Now that she knew what she was dealing with, should she happen to glance at a mirror. She managed to project a hallucination back through the mental connection. Forcing the Spector to see no one before them. Though they managed to exit, she couldn't shake the image of her lover like that. Which made her worry for him. But, it also gave her a greater incentive to get off this island. Alistar was the first to say anything once they were outside. "Yes but with the knowledge that strange things are happening, I doubt it'll be longer than that moment. I am relieved to have that long after what occurred there." Just as she suspected, there was another thing that came up. Their watches lit up and she looked down at her wrist. "Fighting another team? Honestly, I cannot say I'm surprised.." She said with an exacerbated sigh. Estelle looked over at Alexus, "I guess your scythe is going to be used more than just a light source."

@whiters4 @Roxy

whiters4 — 08/30/2022

Oh- wow- holding hands with someone felt funny but Alexus wasn’t going to comment on that, but began rubbing his palm with his thumb when they were finally free of the funhouse. ”Where the fuck are we??” Why did they step out somewhere that wasn’t the school?! There was more to this?! The reaper made his weapon into a pair of brass knuckles as he rubbed his hand down his face, opening one eye to see a watch on his wrist announce that they were being approached by opponents. He groaned at Estelle’s comment, ”I might be a reaper but I don’t indiscriminately cut people down.” Not because he had any morals against it, he wasn’t violent but he didn’t care about the rules, either. Still, ”Do we have to…fight to the death? I’d rather we just run for it.” Spill blood? He’d hope to avoid it. @Sinn @Roxy

Roxy — 08/30/2022

Alistar: Huffing at the way their watches went off, she groaned along with the others. With a frown, she wrinkled her nose thinking hard. She wasn't a fan of just killing random people but at the same time... "Well, in this instance it's not indiscriminately cutting them down. You're protecting yourself and your teammates. Obviously I agree, if we can not kill them that would be great." Tilting her head back and forth as she thought, the goddess shrugged. "I don't think the school would make us fight to the death. That would take away potential candidates for us to leave with." It was surprising to her that the reaper would want to just flat run.

@whiters4 @Sinn

Sinn — 08/31/2022

Alexus was just as vocal about this as Alistar was. As much as she wanted to answer their concerns, she couldn't. She knew about as much as they did. So they were all in the dark for the most part. As she made the remark about his scythe, it became a different weapon. "Oh darling, I didn't mean anything ill buy it. Since we're going up against another team, it was more in an self-defense manner. I do not assume anything of anyone at face value." She said as she shook her head. Alistar spoke up afterwards, agreeing with what Estelle had clarified. She regained her composure and straightened her posture. Fixing any wrinkles in her clothing. "I do seem to recall there being a no kill rule when it comes to the academy. So, at least that should be some reassurance to you, Alexus? Nevertheless, I'm sure the other team who would be pitted against us have been notified. So we should prepare at least. We shouldn't be caught ill-prepared."

Roxy — 09/24/2022

Alistar: Waking up shortly after the PVP battle ended, the unknowing goddess groaned sitting up. When was the last time she had gotten beaten like that? Oh yeah, that prick of a vampire when she first came to Heartless. "That's gunna leave a mark." She grunted as she pushed herself to a standing position and checked herself.

@whiters4 @Sinn

Sinn — Yesterday at 8:02 AM

Estelle opened her eyes and blinked a few times before she sat up. Her abdomen hurt a bit but her leg hurt more. "Thanks for the future scars.." she said to herself as she checked to see if her other teammates were awake. When she saw Alistar on her feet, Estelle pushed to do the same. "This school sure does have a thing for knocking us out.." she said as she rubbed her temple. "Wonder how much more they're gonna hit us with."

@Roxy @whiters4

whiters4 — Yesterday at 5:02 PM

That wasn’t a fight to get them home? When Alexus woke up he thought he’d find himself back at the school. Did nothing come from that? ”I guess we keep going until…” This was his first time seeing anything but the house of mirrors. Where was this? The reaper got up, feeling pain despite knowing he’d practically missed getting so much as a scratch. Besides, his scythe would’ve automatically healed any wounds, why wasn’t it now? He looked at his watch, the only clue about this place. ”Since it seems like I’m the least beat up, would anyone like if I scouted ahead, maybe see if I can find out anything about why we’re here?” @Roxy @Sinn

Roxy — Today at 12:19 AM

Alistar: Gritting her teeth against the pain, she felt as if she would have bruises all over her body and frankly worried for Silas' safety of Drake saw them all. "Not sure, I hope not much more. It's been nearly a full day." She answered Estelle with a raspy voice. Hearing Alexus volunteer to go play scout, Alistar saluted him. "Knock yourself out... but not literally please. I like you as you are and not unconscious." Laughing at her poor attempt at a joke, she shrugged nodding at them. @whiters4 @Sinn

Sinn — Today at 10:26 AM

Estelle nodded in response, "Yeah, I mean, we don't have a choice afterall." She said as she let out a sigh. Even Alistar has grown tired as the day went on. The raspy voice practically giving it away. "Agreed but honestly I would not be surprised if they hit us with another big thing. You know, go out with a bang as they say." Alexus' idea could prove useful to them. She'd noticed that anything the school had planned for them was conveniently placed nearby. Alistar basically answered for the both of them. The phrasing would've been pretty similar too. 

@Roxy @whiters4

whiters4 — Today at 5:56 PM

”Great advice. Assume I failed and leave me behind if I’m not back in five minutes.” Alexus joked with a spin of his scythe, turning to align the compass on his bracelet with his current direction before beginning to walk. He’d probably lay down to die if he got lost in this place, forced to be alone until who knows what. He would end up wandering around longer than intended, but the weather weirdly kept changing and that was an obstacle on its own. Eventually, he stumbled across what he thought was a campsite, granted it was a big scant, having only a table and a man there. At the promise of answers, Alexus have a quick, ”Hold that thought.” and returned to his team. ”I found a guy up ahead that I wasn’t forced to fight. I think maybe he can help us out? This way please, ladies.” @Sinn @Roxy

Roxy — 09/29/2022

Alistar: Grinning and shaking her head at his reply, Alistar leaned against a tree. Alexus wasn't gone long before he came back and let them know he had found a guy that could help them. With a grunt, she pushed herself off the tree and followed after him. This was bound to be interesting. When they reached the campsite, the man was already shuffling a deck of cards. "fancy a game of cards? We can set the wager low if ye like?" The man asked the trio. Glancing at the other two, Alistar held up her hands not really the most fond of playing cards.

@whiters4 @Sinn

Sinn — 09/29/2022

Estelle gave Alexus a nod before he went off to venture. Knowing full well the school probably wouldn't let them leave if the team wasn't whole. But who knows, they're twisted that way. She rolled her shoulders around as she could feel her muscles getting stiff. No surprise after all the shit they were put through. Alexus returned shortly after he left and informed them he found "some guy". Estelle raised an eyebrow but decided not to question it. She followed Alexus as he took them where this guy was. A surprised expression painted her face. "Card game? Like the good ol' days out at sea. I'm down to play."

@Roxy @whiters4

whiters4 — 10/03/2022

Cards. Did it make sense? No. But had anything today. Alexus had gambled away his share of money, he had a brother to earn it back for him so why care, so cards wasn’t a deterrent- just confusing. ”Well if the prize is good, I’m not sure what you’d expect us to wager?” He was siding with Estelle, glancing around and motioning for Alistair to sit and rest. He would really be terrible and carrying anyone who was weak. Sitting at the table himself, he cracked his knuckles and motioned to the red head. Ladies first?” 

@Roxy @Sinn

Roxy — 10/05/2022

Alistar: Giving a thumbs up to Alexus, she sighed and sat down against a tree. It was getting late and she was tired. It didn't help that she missed Drake, and that just irritated her. The man shuffling the cards sniggered at them while giving them all a once over. "I accept casino credits, and well, all manner of things. Do you have anything of interest?" Once the wager had been made and the opponent decided, the stranger dealt their hands with a grin.

@whiters4 @Sinn

FIGHT

Roxy — 09/05/2022

Alistar: Confused when they saw the other team, she glanced down at her watch as it dinged. Seeing Silas' name, she glanced up at him. "Guess you and I get to go the first round." Without much of a wait, the assassin launched herself at the man with a fist pulled back.

@Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke)

Sinn — 09/05/2022

Estelle looked at her opponent but not with an expression of worry or fear. She was ready now that the mental torture was shaken out of her. Her lips curled into a bit of a smile towards Tedrick. Someone she hadn't yet met but she has now. "This is all in good fun darling. Don't hold back on me. I can handle it."

@MissEiffel

MissEiffel — 09/06/2022

Tedrick looked back at the girl who she was supposed to... What? Fight? He rolled her eyes, another fearless being. At the beginning it was fun, now he was getting so tired of this. "Good fun?"  After being hurt by a zombie dragon, he doubted that was the objective. So Tedrick turned into his monster form again, red eyes were now looking down, no expression since his face was now a skull "Can you handle this?"  @Sinn

Jurlestia — 09/07/2022

Phobos rubbed his arm and sighed. While he was ready to fight, he thought it was pointless, maybe useless? But once they had gotten into range, this seemed forced. "No hard feelings either way." He said to his opponent. He couldn't be sure if he'd win or not, and was a little worried about using his powers here. It could effect his own teammates, so he'd have to be careful here. He had his tactical knife with him, so he'd have to see if he could manage just like this. Given that most people in this school had powers, he would have to try really hard here. @whiters4

Sinn — 09/07/2022

The smile remained on her face as she watched him transform. "I mean, since we're all trapped here, why not have a bit of fun? It would do us no good to be miserable the whole time, right?" Her gaze looked up as red eyes were on her. "Besides, I don't think another student caused that injury, hm?" His question was almost like a challenge. "I suppose there's one way to find out."

@MissEiffel

whiters4 — 09/07/2022

”Just don’t punch me in the face, kid, and we’ll chalk whatever happens up to the school, not to either of us.” Alexus sighed, less than pleased to have gotten stuck with someone so young. Imagine jumping a literal child! His teammates accepted what it was, and making the assumption they must be right about not needing to beat each other to death, Alex adjusted his bass knuckles, mumbled an apology, and dropped to the ground, and attempted to sweep a leg beneath the other male. @Jurlestia Hiiiii stitch~

MissEiffel — 09/08/2022

Under other circumstances, Tedrick would have agreed to her statement, but at that moment, it was a little difficult for him to have fun when his wing was still hurting. And even more after his transformation into his big menacing monster form, the girl still wasn't scared of him. Anyone was scared, he was now frustrated. "No...?" He was confused. If she knew that the wound was not made by a student, why was she confident that he would be able to hurt him? She wasn't a teacher as far as he knew. So she wanted to find out? Well, then they would do so. Tedrick roared and then threw a swat at the small woman with his big paw. @Sinn

Sinn — 09/09/2022

Finally the small talk ceased after a confused response. As amusing as it was, they weren't here for a chat. Perhaps afterwards they could if pride wasn't hurt too bad. Then again they were kind of forced to do this. Their battle began as he let out a gutteral roar. Estelle's eyes caught movement as he swung his big paw at her. It was large enough to see and prepare a dodge. Which she did as she hopped backwards. "Oh my, if that hit me that would've caused quite some damage, dearie." Trying to use this chance to start a mental connection with him. 

@MissEiffel

Jurlestia — 09/09/2022

This was weak. He could use his powers, but his own team was to close by, and he doubted they could get far enough to where it wouldn't matter. "Alright then." Kid? How old was this guy even? Tedrick was some millions or whatever years old, guess it wasn't far to say this guy could be the same. It was quick, but Phobos wasn't going to easily be hit by a simple leg sweep. He flipped backwards once, planting his feet in the sand for a hold, pushed off and balled his fist up for a punch aimed center mass. @whiters4 (hiiiiiii! :D)

EriTanaka — 09/09/2022

@Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) 

This is a reminder. Further unannounced inactivity will result in a strike

Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/09/2022

Silas blinked as he watch began to go off saying 'A New Challenger is approaching'. Before he could even question it, a rather exotic woman leaped out at him, throwing the first punch. He caught it with his chin and looked down at her. "That ain't very nice lass." he said as he shrugged off the blow. He inhaled and exhaled as he stepped back and put up his fists. "Now, we can begin" he said as he rushed her attempting to tackle her into a tree. @Roxy

MissEiffel — 09/10/2022

The girl was right, if he had hit her, he would have hurt her but she small and fast. He would be much faster if she was afraid, but no, that seemed like it was not going to be the case. Tedrick started to feel uncomfortable but he just shook it off, as he disappeared into the shadows. He quickly appeared behind her and tried his tactic again, swinging his paw again at her, aiming at her torso and he would connect this time. @Sinn (Handler gave me permission to hit!)

Roxy — 09/10/2022

Alistar: She hadn't expected his chin to hurt that much just from punching it. What the hell was he made of? She didn't even listen to his words, choosing instead to rush him again. This time though, he met her and with embarrassing ease, picked her up and had her back meeting a tree, and not in a fun way. Grunting, she brought an elbow down onto his back. "What the hell are you made out of?!" She screeched in pain.

Sinn — 09/10/2022

When she began to establish the mental connection with her opponent, it wasn't hard to tell that his brain was stirring. He was fighting her a bit until he disappeared. Fading off into the shadows from the nearby environment. Her guard quickly shot up as she searched around. It wasn't long until she had a feeling. A feeling that something or rather, someone was right behind her. Estelle turned around and saw Tedrick behind her. Before she could even think, his large paw swung at her. It connected this time and knocked the wind out of her. Even feeling the gash when she held her hand to the injury. It hurt like hell but she had to press on. She had her special someone to get back to. Now she was more determined as she tried to focus. Trying to push her way into his mentality. Letting her guard down at all would be costly. 

@MissEiffel

Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/10/2022

Silas caught the woman with ease, picking her up and running her into a tree as she brought an elbow down on his back. "Boy I wish we were doing this in a less... physical... No no... Different physical aspect" he commented as he grunted from having her elbow his back. He reeled back and attempted to slam his fist into her gut, the tree would shake violently and crack at the impact whether it hits or now. "Technically I'm carved from stone, but it's all flesh and bones love." He laughed. @Roxy

Roxy — 09/11/2022

Alistar: She had to laugh at his comment. ”Same. A more horizontal version would be preferable.” Saying that, she would put both hands on his back and shoved her pleasure ability into him at full force. While she knew not everyone here at Heartless reacted the way she expected, it could at least buy her some time. Which… this time it didn’t seem to. ”Fucking hell, stone?!” Sadly, because of the way he had pinned her to the tree, she couldn’t move out of the way when he punched her gut. Alistar saw white and black stars floating through her vision as she doubled over coughing up blood. This place pissed her off something terrible as she tried to brace herself against the tree and continue fighting, a hand covering her stomach.

Alexus should have remained mortal and aged like normal people do, that’d way he’d be enjoying retirement rather than fighting kids on a…wherever this was. Stupid bloodline curse. This was why he was never having kids. Quickly rebounding when his sweep didn’t work, the reaper disappeared into a very small form, a black cat, and ran between Phobo’s legs, transforming back and attempting an elbow into the male’s side. It seemed like the other fights we playing a far riskier game, but he wasn’t giving himself a chance to check if it meant leaving an opening to be attacked. ”How serious is this supposed to be, anyway?!” He questioned in exasperation. @Jurlestia

MissEiffel — 09/11/2022

The paw connected and he was about to charge again, when a flash of a distant memory appeared in his mind that made him stop "What the...?" It had been brief but it had caught him out of guard, why was he thinking about him right at that moment? After all those years? Tedrick shook the memory away and tried to focus again, now charging headfirst, attempting to cause now some damage with his antlers @Sinn

Sinn — 09/11/2022

Estelle finally began to break his mentality down. Squeezing her way through the cracks of his mind. Bringing about some memories he had hidden away and materializing them. Which seemed to have worked as he paused for a moment. But he shook his head, trying to break that connection. "Shit.." she mumbled to herself as she saw him utilizing his antlers. If it comes down to it, she's going to have to bring back the days of pirate fist fights. Whatever it took. Focusing again, she pushed back harder into his mind. Taking a couple steps back in the meantime. An attempt to put some space between should he charge.

@MissEiffel

Jurlestia — 09/12/2022

Phobos landed and pushed off his foot just as he landed to dodge the elbow. He slid to a stop and huffed, "Don't know, seems one of us has to go down though." Transforming into a cat? Phobos might as well just be human with no powers with his powers not being able to be used like this. He wanted to make a few marks and given how they forced this onto them, there had to be a reason. He dashed forward, when he was in a decent range he kicked up sand to hopefully delay Alexus from transforming or moving, just enough to ram his shoulder into him. @whiters4

Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/12/2022

Silas laughed at the woman. "Then we should meet up in a better location to perform the horizontal tango" he told her as he felt both of her hands on his back. He felt... Something indescribable, he felt his knees buckle a bit but there was something overriding it. Severe pain. Maybe getting the skin burned off his arm was a secret blessing in disguise. "You can get a better look during the tango" he smirked as his punch landed. She coughed up blood meaning the strike was a direct hit. He sighed softly as he brought his hand to her neck and pinned her to the tree. "Look, I'm not lookin' to kill... just tap out and surrender" he told the woman as he began to apply pressure. @Roxy

MissEiffel — 09/13/2022

The monster charged towards the small girl but then he stopped. In front of him there wasn't Estelle anymore, there was... Sam. Samuel was Evanore's grandson, the one he couldn't protect from the war. Tedrick stopped and shook his head. This was an illusion, nothing more than that, Sam was dead and he had been dead since a long time ago. When he opened his eyes, he saw Estelle again. It had been brief but the image had been clear and he was not happy about it. "Are you doing this?! Stop" He warned her, in his deep voice. Angry, he charged at her again, this time opening his mouth and snapping at her leg, teeth sinking into flesh. @Sinn

Sinn — 09/14/2022

Her opponent stopped dead in his tracks. The efforts finally kicking in as she pulled memories from the depths of his mind. Some man named Sam, who seemed to have had an impact on his life. The connection wavered only slightly. Enough for him to roar out and charge. Sharp teeth sunk into her leg. Estelle cried out in pain as her nerves were on fire and not in a good way. A hand clenched into a fist as she connected some punches. "Let..me..go" she said between hits. Until she grabbed both sides of his jaw. Using all her strength to try and pry him off her leg. Then she grabbed the sides of his head. Looking him dead in the face as she intensified the hallucinations. Pulling out all the stops with such focus. Right now, she couldn't afford to weaken.

@MissEiffel

whiters4 — 09/14/2022

What makes you think so, your asshole partners beating on the women?” Alexus replied sarcastically. Of course one of them had to go down, it wasn’t like Alistair or Estella knew anything themselves; this had to be happening because the school wanted fodder. If they could abduct random people, why the hell should it matter if a few died? This was just a culling. Glancing at his team mates, both from which blood had been drawn, he gasped as he looked back to find sand flying in his face. Asshole! Alexus wheezed, landing promptly on the ground as the wind was knocked out of him. Alexus flipped his legs towards himself, rolling in a reverse crunch to his feet and changing his scythe into its titular form. He twirled it in his right hand, curved it to meet his left hand, and began circling the other male, swinging it to cut and limbs and body mass. @Jurlestia

Roxy — 09/14/2022

Alistar: Laughing at him, she gripped his hand gasping when he held her throat against the tree. "Normally I like being choked, but now.. Now you're just pissing me off." Inhaling slightly, she raised her legs and while holding his arm brought both of them towards his side in an attempt to dislocate his arm.

MissEiffel — 09/15/2022

The monster didn't feel the punches, at all, he was angry and he would use force if it was what it took to end this fight. But then the girl grabbed his head, making him look at her eyes. Again, there was someone from his past, but it wasn't Sam, but Lewis this time. Tedrick immediately opened his mouth, letting her leg go as he stepped back. He knew it wasn't real. As much as he would have loved the opportunity to see his past lover again, he didn't want that to happen like that. Not in pain, not afraid of him. "I told you to stop!" He shook again his head, trying to wipe his muzzle with his paw, but the image was still burning bright in his mind. @Sinn

Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/15/2022

Silas laughed at her as she grasped his arm, stating that he was now pissing her off. "Well that is a damn shame... Maybe we can have the better choking fun next time" he told her as he watched her raise her legs and bring them to his side, attempting to do something but he couldn't think of what she was trying. He removed her back from the tree and quickly swung her around like a rag doll, ruining the angle she had and applying more pressure. "Not trying to piss you off, just make you submit" he stated as he stared at her before slamming her down onto the ground to knock the wind out of her. @Roxy

Sinn — 09/15/2022

Thankfully, this seemed to have worked a bit better. Though he didn't have a human face, she could still sense the emotion through the connection. He was mentally scrambling to see what was real and what wasn't. The grip on her leg finally released. Blood spurted as the teeth pulled back. Again he yelled for her to stop. But she continued her relentless mental assault. Distracting him enough to swing her leg upward. Landing a kick to his chin. 

@MissEiffel

Jurlestia — 09/15/2022

Phobos tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, "You probably haven't had anything to ever worry about." He thought this guy was being judgey, he wasn't sure about the sarcasm, he was still no all that used to sarcasm as a whole. He knew they had to fight, so fight he did. He felt that he couldn't make headway against this guy easily. When it came to fighting, he should use everything at his disposal. He was able to knock him down, which gave him time to grab his dagger as his opponent was now using his scythe. For a bit, Phobos was able to block or maneuver through the onslaught. He got hit a few times, keeping it to scratches on his leg and arms. He had to get out of it. He waited, analyzed, and right when he thought it prudent, He hurled his dagger at him, timing it so it would hit him while he circled.  @whiters4

MissEiffel — 09/17/2022

The kick in the chin, that he did feel it. When was the last time that a human had actually managed to hit him? So fully aware of his surroundings now, he charged furiously at her, hitting her successfully with his antlers this time. But when he looked down again, there was someone else instead of Estelle "Evanore... no... wait..." She wasn't Evanore, she wasn't his witch. The girl was still doing it and every time he was just getting more furious. So, in an attempt to make her stop, he raised his paw, ready to stomp her. @Sinn

whiters4 — 09/17/2022

”Are you defending what’s happening right now? You’re cool with fighting because some nameless sadist said to?” Alexus scoffed, unsure why judging the circumstances was wrong. Why were they playing into their hands? ”Sure, I’m glad this isn’t normal for me.” it was good that the majority of the emotions attached to his mortality were dead like the rest of him, he didn’t need to fight while annoyed at those who let themselves be led by the nose. He wanted this to be over with, spinning his scythe to deflect the dagger coming his way. He thrust the staff end forward to jab Phobos in the stomach, then attempt a deeper cut down center mass. @Jurlestia

Sinn — 09/17/2022

It seemed making him look at her have it a bigger nudge. Even the kick in the chin gave her a bit of an advantage. Now that his mind was full of rage, it would be easier to break the walls down. Though she forgot for a split second the physical endeavor. As she was struck with his antlers and sent down to the ground. Estelle didn't give up though, she continued to endure. Tedrick even started to see yet another face. But this one went by the name of Evanore. Her eyes flicked over to the movement of his paw. Before he could make contact, she rolled to the side. She brought up her leg, kicking him in the side of his. Repeating this action but with more strength behind the previous one. Perhaps if she got him focused on physical, she could chistle at the mental.

@MissEiffel

MissEiffel — 09/18/2022

The small woman rolled, making his paw to stomp on the ground. Before he could look around, he felt a kick on his side. Startled, he moved his big body around but as he did so, he got another kick, stronger than the one before. He was baffled, of how she could kick with that kind of strength, since one of her legs was hurt. So he turned into his human form again, that would reduce the size difference and that might help him. But the pain was still there, and Tedrick wasn't used to feel pain for this long amount of time. That made him angrier, so still enraged, he disappeared into the shadows and appeared again this time at her side, just to kick her forcefully in her already bleeding leg. However, as he did so, he saw Lewis again and that made him close his eyes and stumble back "You are not real!" @Sinn

Roxy — 09/19/2022

Alistar: This was humiliating. She was one of the greatest assassins where she was from but here she consistently was being overrun in fights. Clawing at his arm, she could feel her vision blurring even as she kicked at him. Feeling him swing her around, she saw spots floating in front of her eyes only to be mirrored by the explosion of pain as she was slammed into the ground. The last bit of air was forced out of her lungs in a growled curse. "Fuck you." Alistar's body went limp as she passed out from lack of oxygen.

Sinn — 09/19/2022

She grit her teeth through the pain as she kicked. Now having to readjust where she stood due to his body moving around. Before she could wind up another, she held. Her opponent transformed from beast to human. When he finished his transformation he disappeared into the shadows. "Should've kicked again.." she mumbled to herself. Eyes scanned around and just as she saw a figure. Said figure kicked her injured leg. Which brought her down to a knee as she cried out a bit in pain. Estelle turned her attention to look him dead in the eyes. Giving full force to slam his mentality back. Forcing him to see someone else, causing him to stumble back and yell. She took this opportunity to rise to her feet. Using her uninjured leg, she put quite a bit of power behind the boot to the abdomen.

@MissEiffel

Jurlestia — 09/19/2022

"That's been my whole life, it's hard for me to differentiate." Something that Alexus wouldn't understand was that Phobos's whole life was fighting because someone told him to. Probably a few sadist scientist. "Keep it that way." He was still working off his normal and if this guy hated it, then he couldn't blame him. Fast, he was fast and reacted fast. Phobos wasn't quick enough to stop the staff end from hitting him, but he grabbed onto it to prevent extra movement. Alexus was also strong, so he managed to maneuver a bit to keep the slash from going to deep, but he was hit. He jumped back and flipped backwards, placing his hands down in an attempt to kick Alexus upward. The pain would be present, but he's worked through worse. @whiters4

Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/21/2022

Silas felt the clawing of the woman at his arm, it hurt for sure but submitting to the pain… slowly her clawing and licking got weaker and the blunt force of hitting the grown caused a ‘Fuck you’ from the woman as she passed out. He let go of her throat and double checked to make sure she was still breathing as his watch alerted him that he had won. He brought his hand to her neck as an eerie grey light healed her wounds but didn’t remove the pain. ”There we go…” he sighed softly.

MissEiffel — 09/21/2022

Tedrick was distracted. He had closed his eyes in order to not see Lewis anymore. Under other circumstances, he would have loved to see him again, but in this case, seeing him just hurt him, more because he knew that he wasn't real. The girl took advantage of his state, kicking him again and this time in the abdomen. He stumbled back, taken by surprise. Transforming had been a bad idea. So, like a glitch, he transformed bad, just to turn into human again. Getting his illusion up had always been so easy, like breathing, but due to physical and emotional pain, Tedrick was losing it. He folded into himself but kept his eyes closed, he preferred to be attacked again instead of seeing dead people again. @Sinn

Sinn — 09/22/2022

The kick was enough to cause him to stumble back a bit. She could see the physical and mental pain radiating from him. Watching him close up took her by surprise. He had been adamant to keep fighting against her. But now it seemed like he was giving up.  Something she wasn't used to seeing. Estelle wanted to give some payback for the wound on her leg. At the same time, she felt kind of sorry for him. Perhaps this was her victory? She let out a deep sigh before approaching. This was a bit risky with all things considered. Her hand raised out to him. Gesturing for a handshake if he were to take it. "You put up one hell of a fight."

@MissEiffel

whiters4 — 09/22/2022

Christ. Alexus sighed. This was to be expected, it had already been obvious that this place snatched people from all walks of life. ”Here’s some advice from an older man: revolution thrives beyond the doorstep of complacency and acceptance.” Seemed like thinking for himself was the best solution for the kid here, not that Alexus would make it his business after this. His counter landed where intended but the cut didn’t hit with as much force as it could, as Phobos had grabbed the end of his scythe. Considering it could slice through any matter, he wasn’t ungrateful his opponent was fast on his feet. Nevertheless, Alexus had been training for the better part of thirty or forty years- he’d only dragged it out hoping it’d end before anything serious had to be done. Bending a few degrees at the last second was enough to dodge the kick that would’ve launched him, yet the reaper didn’t use any openings to cause life threatening damage. Instead, he attacked with the staff end again, continuing to aim center mass since the kid was so swift on his feet. Sliding his grip  more towards the blade, he could hit with the blunt end and cover himself with the sharper half. @Jurlestia 

MissEiffel — 09/22/2022

But the strike never came. Instead, he heard her voice in a condescending tone, mocking him that he had put on a fight. Furious but without opening his eyes, he responded "Save your fucking words. Don't you ever dare to  get close to me or I will take your fucking eyes out" And after saying this he spat on the floor and turned around, the reluctance of opening his eyes and have hallucinations again was the only thing keeping him from an attempt of murder. The level of despise was indescribable  and unbearable, so emotionally hurt and physically in pain, he walked away and took the defeat. @Sinn 

Jurlestia — 09/25/2022

Phobos would have to put what Alexus said to the back of his mind for now. It would harbor there until he had time to think about the words. He probably hated that he sort of went along if he had to guess. His kick barley missed, not to shocking. With the position he was currently in, he had no room to dodge and took the full force of the staff end flying backwards and through the sand. He groaned and could see Tedrick walking away. He stumbled to his feet. "I think that's it." He knew when he was beat. Unless he could use his powers, he wasn't going to make to much ground. "You're welcome." He said, gently pointing up at Alexus's face before retreating to follow Tedrick.
