When Gexln announced that there was going to be a proper mission Thomas jumped out of his seat to follow, promptly followed by him collapsing on the floor and puking. "I'm coming!" He said raising his hand into the hair as he talked though a mouth full of throw up. "Don't leave me..." He said before throwing up once more then trying to pick himself up off the ground. He was stumbling on his feet but remained standing and following slowly. "It's not them! I talked to Sara a fair amount. I would know! That isn't Sara!" Silvia tried to defend her friends but with her back turned she was hit by an attack, her attack. Silvia fell forward because of this, pain lurched through her body as she did. It wasn't as painful as the lightning bolt though, so that was good. Silvia got back up on shaky knees. She didn't have time to heal herself, she needed to kill the impostors before they hurt the Prince, Princess or Samantha. She had to save them. However she couldn't afford more damage. Silvia surged forward cloaking herself in a barrier as she did with her attack. Silvia used Barrier surge.
I feel like you were nominated for the irony of it
Trevor is going to spend his 8000 jewel on: 2 Slayer earrings, 2 Skill rings, A Titan chain, 2 Omega Arts, Crystal Crowns, and a Heartguard, as well as an improved two handed sword.

"A-da Blah. Um D-dragon?" Thomas managed to get out between drunken slurred words as he spit some of his fifth pint of beer on the table. "You gotta.... you gotta be jokeen meh." He said before looking at those who decided to watch the drinking contest. "What are you looking at. Do I have something on my... uh oh." With that Thomas threw up all over the ground. This however didn't stop him from drinking. He picked himself up and chugged the rest of his beer then grinned at Edric. "Did I wheen?" He asked hopefully as he looked like he was about to be sick again. When Silvia awoke she was very disorientated. She didn't know where she was, she first expected to be back in the guild hall, then she remembered where she had passed out. However she wasn't there either, the sun was shinning, it wasn't dark like before. As her eyes came to focus she realized that she was outside. They must have escaped somehow and someone had healed her. Silvia shielded her eyes from the sun showing the first sign of good health. "Is Samantha okay?" Silvia asked whoever might have been around her, though she hadn't had a chance to look yet. After a moment she sat up and looked around a bit. First person she spotted who was out of place was Dominique. "Your Majesty. What are you doing here?" Silvia asked her. However Silvia didn't have time to dwell on the curiosity of how they got out and how certain people got out because there was something else odd going on. Amanda and Sara stood just ahead, but instead of helping them they seemed ready to fight. Silvia pushed herself off the ground slowly and walked over to them. "Whats going on?" She asked as she arrived just in time to hear Skadi say that they weren't actually Sara and Amanda. Silvia didn't know what to do or think. She didn't know who might be the imposer and who she should fight. In the end she trusted Skadi more so following her lead. Silvia decided to fight the other one by using the same attack as Skadi. Silvia used Fire Surge on Minx Thea pondered the fact that Conrad didn't want to be called sir for a moment. "I am sorry. I didn't know your proper title. Is it lord? Would you prefer that. Just tell me." Thea said to him, slightly nervous that she had been using the wrong title and it was offending him. He then proceeded to ask if he could call her by her name. "Of course you can. I am not old enough to inherit a proper title with my estate. Besides I don't much care for the formalities. Daddy always said I had to learn them though because one day I would be a proper lady and in charge of a lot and needed to play the role properly." Thea explained to him. The girl was soon distracted by some conversation that was going on between Vance and the witch lady. Thea just wanted answers, so she stepped it. "Why are you doing this to us? We haven't done anything wrong. There was a contest and we decided to come, that is all. There was no ill intentions I promise. Especially with me, I just wanted to watch. No harm done right? So why are you trying to hurt us. It doesn't make sense! We don't deserve this!" Thea finished as she moved forward looking the witch type lady in the eyes with a pout on her face and it looked like Thea was close to crying. She strongly believed that they didn't deserve this and was hating how the lady was treating them. "Please just stop it."
"Ha take that. I can't do your homework Ms. Wick, I burnt it accidentally." Thea yelled out before blushing, catching herself too deep in her imagination. However the battle was over so that was a good thing. Thea caught Conrads last bit of encouragement and since they weren't in the middle of battle she could give a proper thanks. Thea grabbed the sides of her skirt and curtsied. "Thank you sir. I did my best." She said. She kept calling him sir because she was unsure of his title. She didn't know if he was a lord or not or royal or anything else along those lines, so she figured sir was a good safe point. Turning away from Conrad she caught a glimpse of something shiny on the ground. Picking it up she stared at a beautiful diamond encrusted circlet. "It is so pretty." Thea said as she put it on. She then saw something else also made of diamond. She picked it up, this time bringing it over to Conrad. "This one is for you sir. Good job with the fight." She said politely, presenting the object to him. Trevor only got a vague description of what happened, but it had to do with George. Of course George. He had liked Johanna for a long time, giving him a hate of Dale since Dale shared the interest. Trevor respected Dale, he respected that he liked Johanna and he tried to keep George out of it. It seemed he had failed today. Trevor could only watch as his friend ran out in tears. He wanted to go after him, but he had bigger problems at this time. Letting out a grunt Trevor grabbed his head. George was trying to take control again and it soon became a battle in his mind. Due to Trevor being unable to hold complete control at the time, his eyes glazed over and he seemed to be staring into space, nothing really happening for the most part. Occasionally a grunt was heard or Trevors grip on his head tightened. By the end of the internal battle he was on one knee holding his head. Often when they battle like that it would cause a headache ranging to the severity of a migraine, and this was one of those migraine days. Trevor did his best to shake if off as Gexln approached. "I will apologize, but I can't say the same for George. I don't know what just happened but I know it wasn't good, and George was part of the problem. I let him get to me, make me weak so he could take control of the body. I suppose it is my fault them." Trevor told Gexln in a somewhat sad voice as he looked down away from everyone. "I have one more mess I need to clean up though." Trevor said before transforming into Satan Soul. Trevor grabbed Boreal by the neck and threw him into a wall. "Nothing about this is funny or justice, you got that! You made my friend cry and for that you will pay!" Trevor punched Boreal across the face before flying him upstairs to chain him up once more. With Boreal securely in chains Trevor flew back downstairs reverting to normal form. "I need someone else to watch him. If George gains control again I don't know what kind of mess he will make." With that Trevor walked towards his room feeling exceptionally guilty, not just about this situation but everything about his life. All the past guilt's that George reminded him of in order to gain control of the body while leaving him blank, lost at what had just happened. He wanted to know what George had said but he didn't. So Trevor did the only thing he could to do anything to help the situation, delete Johanna's saved image from their magic.
As the arguing continued there was a sudden pain in George's head. He was forced to let Boreal go and step back. "No, not now. Why now?" He groaned as he took another step back, holding his head. "Damn it Trevor just go back to moping." He breathed but things were too late. The magic started to weaken, flicker between his appearance and Johanna's, eventually it settled back to his original appearance. Trevor stood watching as an argument of some sort happened. Why was Boreal out of his cell? What exactly happened? I didn't matter now, he had to fix things before people murdered each other. "Everyone calm down. What the hell is going on? I am sure we can figure this out like reasonable people, not savages about to rip each others heads off." Trevor said in a loud voice as he stepped into the middle of things. Trevor had no clue what he was stepping into when he did so. He had no idea of the mess his alternate caused during the time he was moping. Whatever happened with the body was a complete blank to him.
"I don't see what you are saying. Unlike you Boreal has been nothing but sweet to me. He has not raised his voice or yelled once. He is willing to just sit and listen without minding. He is a sweet man. Have you ever considered that this gap you speak of is caused by you? Caused by your attitude, your negativity? I don't blame him for not wanting to be friends with you. It is a hard task to maintain." Johanna stated, now looking Dale square in the eye with a challenging look. If he was going to hurt Boreal he would have to hurt both of them, and George knew that there was little chance that he would do that.
George rolled his eyes as Mikasa walked up, but he allowed Boreal to deal with it. It seemed she was in a bad enough mood that she would watch this play out for the entertainment of it, that was good, very good. He didn't say anything until Dale approached. Georges smile didn't falter as Dale started getting mad and ordering Boreal to step away from him. Boreal was right, Dale didn't like this one bit. It was too good, and he was about to make everything just that much better. "Dale, you are mistake. He isn't as bad as you think. It was all just a misunderstanding. Poor Boreal here got locked up over a simple mistake. He is just so misunderstood it is sad." George said as he stretched up to kiss Boreal on the cheek. "You know he isn't a half bad guy when you take the time to get to know him. You are just too judgmental about everything." He stated, his voice soft and kind. He moved his other hand up to rest on Boreal's chest as he looked up at him with a look of adoration. "Perhaps you just need to give him a chance."
Thomas shut up as Mikasa walked towards him. She then asked him a question, one though he was scared to answer, he actually had an answer for. "N-no Ma'am. My formal master always told me that woman were a treasure to be earned. Not a prize to be won. Though he never was the greatest example at getting the ladies you see." Thomas then grabbed his drink and heeded Edric's advice. "I am sorry ma'am." With that he chugged the entire pint of beer, hoping it might ease the pain when Mikasa most likely punched him for his words. When he finished it he slammed his cup down on the table waiting for a refill. His eyes went from Mikasa to Edric to see if Mikasa would leave and he could finish his drinking contest with Edric. "Of course, lets do this." George said sweetly as he wrapped his slender female arm around Boreal's waist. As they reached the ground floor George caught sight of Dale about to leave, fuming mad. He had to stop him, make him see. "Dale? What is the matter?" George asked letting his copy magic make him seem exactly like Johanna. Before Dale would have a chance to turn around she gave Boreal a quick wink. It was his turn. He could cause the damage to destroy Dale and what would lead to destroying any relationship that Johanna and him ever had. It would have to go for George to move in. And in the process he got to make Boreal a little more happy, he wouldn't have to listen to his complaining, and that was a very good thing indeed.
Sitting upstairs, picking at his nails the brown haired male listened to Boreal speak. He was admittedly rather bored of just sitting around there. "So you want to get out of here huh? Well I think I could work out some fun." When he spoke his words came out with a British accent. George had taken control of the body now. "The other two personalities are held at bay for now. Trevor may be the strongest, but I have my tricks." George announced standing up. "I suppose you would like to have a little fun would you? I have the perfect idea for that, if you behave that is." Without another word George used his copy magic to turn into Johanna. "Your brother really likes this girl. But here is the problem. So do I. She will be mine one day. But alas, she is away right now, so may as well get some fun in pissing off your brother while we can. I trust you to know how to do that. Whether that is to hurt, poor little Johanna, or to love her, forcefully or not in front of him, I am sure you will know what to choose best." George stated as he undid Boreals chains. "Shall we go?" He asked, his voice suddenly becoming like Johanna's. With a small wink he began to head towards the stairs. "I wonder if being drunk is as fun as you made it sound." Thomas mused as he looked around. "And you made being me sound like the worst possible thing ever. It isn't that bad!" Thomas protested. "Now get me a damn drink." He demanded, giving a quick glance at Edric. He never drank much before, he wondered if he could out drink Edric, it would be amazing if he could. "I Challenger thee to a contest of the drink." Thomas stated as he stood up putting on his best Challenger face. "The winner will get a date with the lovely Mikasa!" He annonced, figuring that would be enough to make Edric throw the contest.
Karina hadn't said or done much during the discussion but soon she saw heartless, what Maxie seemed to be trying to fight off. However this captain person simply blocked Maxie when he tried to go help. Karina was already getting sick of this guy. "You know what...." Karina began as she walked towards the captain. When it seemed like she was about to speak again, she didn't. Instead Karina swiftly punched Pete in the face. "That's what. Now we are going to deal with those damn creatures that threaten to destroy everyone and you will not stop us or else I will do far more damage than that. I promise you." Karina said, summoning her keyblade and walking towards where the heartless were going.
"Yes sir." Thea responded to Conrad, attempting to calm herself down a little bit. She took a moment to focus on breathing more evenly and not at the risk of hyperventilating. She stared at the monster in front of her, then looked at Conrad. He said he needed her help. She could do this. She was an elite mage under Ezekiel, and though her injuries made her powers not work as well, she was getting stronger once again and she could do it. He trained her to fight and kill, though she didn't want to admit it. This was all a game. That is what she had to remember, it was just a game. Thea closed her eyes and let her imagination take over. Suddenly the situation didn't seem so real anymore. The witch became the mean old lady that was one of her tutors when she was younger. And the monsters were just projections of the tasks in which she didn't want to do. And her fire, it was the excuse not to do them. If they accidentally burned, then how could she do her homework? With this image in her mind, Thea was able to find the focus to try a move she learned long ago when she was less skilled with fire, and try that as a stepping stone to getting back to her old strength. Thea used Fire Dash
A smirk crossed Gwen's face as her bullets made contact. She hadn't lost her touch after all. Once she finished with Xero she could move to someone else and overtake Hunters kill count. That would be really nice. However Gwen made a mistake leaving an opening for a moment. She was able to jump out of the way of the ball of darkness, but just barely. It hit a rock behind her and exploded. The blow from it was not one that Gwen could avoid and it threw her to the side. Gwen gripped her side as she stood back up after the blast, she had a feeling a few of her ribs were cracked because of that. "*****." Gwen mumbled before raising her guns once again, continuing to shoot as much as she could. After a moment she switched to her cannon, charging it with an ice spell trying to freeze Xero. When Glen opened the dark corridor to go stop Caleb, Sapphire used her powers to force close it. "No." She said sternly as she glared at Glen. The scene she was projecting faded. "I won't let you march off to your death again. I watched it once. I won't do it again. If they release Xindai I need you alive. Glen listen to me. As you said we have bigger things to worry about than the past, that being said I trust you with the job of receiving Excalibur more than anyone else. You and Xero and my only friends and ones I can fully trust. You can't risk your life. If you do and Xindai gets released.... Well then no one will be able to get Excalibur. We can't stop him unless he comes to Riel and we both know that he is smarter than that." Sapphire explained. "If you stay I will do my best to rest until we know the results of the battle. But he is in my dreams already. It makes sleep and rest hard. Just stay. Make sure my people are safe and don't go to the grave yard unless it looks certain that everyone we know and love will die. Until then trust their fighting ability. I have my strongest creature there too." Sapphire then stood up and place her hands on Glens head. Magic energy began to flow through them to him. "I gave you the power to watch what is going on at the grave yard as I have. It is only temporary though. Watch well, I am going to try to rest." Sapphire said, walking back to a flat rock surface in the cave and laying down on it. She didn't know if she could rest, but Glen was right, she needed all the strength she could get and right now she had very little. She couldn't remember the last time she had slept, and her emotions were taking quite the toll on her.
Nessa rolled away from Thea towards Vance, leaving Thea standing by herself as Aias mentioned something about summoning. "Summoning? What is she summoning. I am scared." Thea asked as terror filled her eyes. Terror of the unknown, terror that they had to fight and terror that Nessa or one of her guild mates may get hurt because of this. "I want to go home..." Thea said quietly knowing that was not an option. As she spoke the voice came out of the shadows, but the face was still hidden from view. When the woman did look up her face was green. "What are you?" Thea asked, shaky. Next thing she knew there was monsters in front of her. "No! Stop this!" Thea shouted. She was as terrified of the monsters and the witch as she was of losing control. It was entirely possible that she would lose control, with how scared and unstable she was. "Why are you doing this? We didn't do anything wrong!" Thea yelled. She shot out fire from the tips of her fingers at the diamond monster in front of her, only partly on purpose. "Please don't do this." Thea sounded as though she was about to cry. Thea used fire "An injury caused by magic like that is hard to fix without magic, it causes internal injury." Silvia explained in a weak voice. "Don't worry about me.... get them out..." Silvia then went on to order Damion. As long as everyone else was safe, that was all that mattered to her. Silvia soon allowed her eyes to droop shut. She could only pray that she would wake up later, but now, she needed rest. The injury took too much out of her and she couldn't fight off the darkness any longer. Even with the pain in her body, it wasn't enough to keep her awake, in fact it was pushing her further into the darkness, an escape. Though Silvia passed out she was still breathing steadily, a good sign.
Silvia followed Leo to the mines where they found the Prince and Samantha. "Are you guys okay?" Silvia said as she stepped forward towards the two tied up. Preminger was not too far behind them, how she had found them Silvia had no idea, but it was another person to help and that was good... unless it was one of the shape shifters. That was possible. Silvia did her best not to go back into panic mode, but the words that Preminger said did not help this. The lady was planning to kill them all. Silvia's hands shook as she listened to them talk. "No.... No! You can't do this!" Silvia shouted in a shaky voice. However it was too late. Samantha had tried to cast magic and ended up rather injured. It looked serious too. Silvia knowing she could take damage better than most and would rather risk her own life than watch someone else die. "Sorry..." Silvia said to the rest before she turned to cast a spell on Samantha to heal her. As she did she was also hit by the lightning. The pain caused Silvia to cry out and fall to the ground. Her eyes filled with tears as she watched Preminger walk out and the cave begin to collapse. If only she could create a barrier for them, to protect them. But not in the shape she was in. Damn the zap hurt, a lot. Silvia could barely keep focused to watch what was going on, she could hear it, and could hear Skadi yelling as well. Fear and dread filled Silvia. They were going to die. She couldn't get up. The rest had to get out, she would stay, she couldn't move and she would only slow them down. "Skadi..." Silvia said as she groaned, soar as ever. "Please get them out...." Silvia finished, crying slightly. So this is how it ends. I survived one near death experience but I can't do it again. It isn't possible. I can't believe it. I guess I wasn't meant to live. Silvia thought to herself. Worse than all of this, she wasn't going to die a good person but some suicide bomber from a dark guild, hated by all. This was not how she thought her life would go. Why didn't I listen to mom. Why didn't I just stay in the shop and learn medicine. I am so stupid. I just want to go home. At this point Silvia could hardly hear what was going on around her as she began to black out from the pain. At least all the discomfort and fear and bad memories from her time in the guild would be over.
Thea felt bad when the case that she was advising didn't turn out, but she could see the logic behind the case that it actually was. "Aw that is so-" Thea was cut off by chanting. The girl who just a moment before was bubbly and happy, ready to comment on the poeticness of the casket it was, and give Vance a hug to cheer him up, suddenly fell very silent. A look of fear crossed over Thea's face as she took a step closer to Nessa, wanting to feel safe just as much as she wanted to protect Nessa from whatever the chanting was. As darkness began to surround them Thea grew more scared, the small girl was terrified of the dark. A small ball of fire began to glow in Thea's hand, providing a little extra light for them. Zephyros was trying to blame the curse on Nessa as the chanting continued but Thea could see it wasn't her. "NO! Nessa isn't doing this. Can't you hear it isn't her voice. Besides, she likes Vance, why would she place a curse on him? That is no good at all! Leave her alone." Thea shouted at Zephyros before looking around the room for the person chanting. "Whoever is doing that stop it! I don't like it. It is scaring me and that is not nice. What is going on?!" Thea shouted into the darkness. At this moment she had felt the most like a child that she had in a long time, but it was comforting. She was almost waiting for her mother to walk in the room and quiet her from the nightmare she was having and put her back to bed, like she used to four years ago.
With Taylor up and the battle over, not the way she wanted to, but over, Thea headed back to Nessa with everyone else. Nessa explained the contest and it seemed straight forward enough. "Can I come in and watch?" Thea asked as she folded her hands behind her back. "I can help them decide. I am REALLY good at guessing games." Thea exclaimed, clearly excited. None of the seriousness of the situation was setting in, to Thea it was all just a big game and show.
Thea looked slightly upset at the words spoken to her. She wasn't really wanted so it seemed. But Thea didn't want to fight or watch the fighting, but instead of running away back to Vances side, someone who was actually nice to her, her eyes found Taylor laying on the ground. Thea ran into the middle of the conflict and knelt beside the past out Taylor beginning to cure her. "It will be alright. I have got you now. You won't die in my arms. Don't worry." Thea spoke quietly to Taylor as she brushed the girls hair out of her face. Silvia's breath began to slow, if only slightly as Skadi and Leo spoke to her. They were saying thing they would only know. Still a seed of doubt remained. Either way if they were shape shifters she was screwed anyways so she had to trust them. "Okay....." Her voice was still shakey but she was managing. "We can't afford to sit around here we need to find the prince." She breathed out softly after that. Silvia was scared that someone else may die because she was not fast enough to stop it, like the nutcracker.
"How... How do I know... I lost sight of both you and Skadi in the woods. They could have...." Silvia began to tremble. "I don't know what to do. How can I trust. I am. I don't." Silvia began to freak out more and wanted to back off but ended up against the wall. "I am sorry. I am so sorry. I can't trust any of you based on this. I don't know." Silvia continued to ramble as her knees shook. She didn't want to be so scared but she felt weak and hopeless. She looked over to Skadi knowing that her word would be no more help to her. She was having a break down and she wished she could stop, just everything was getting to be way too much for her. She started to regret joining the guild. It wasn't her place. She didn't know what to do.
Everything around her was so different. So new. So amazing. Serenity was in awe. "Wait. You said we would stay here tonight. Oh no I can't do that. I have to be home or papa will be mad." Serenity said, becoming seriously worried. She didn't want to make her father mad. Her father was a scary man when he was mad. She was supposed to come home no later than eleven at night on any given night, and when she was later... well there was punishment to be had. However Serenity didn't have much time to worry at this before some chick came running after Eren, and they were running through the streets. "Perhaps I don't want to become famous myself. I mean I get harassed enough as it is. I don't want to be doing this every day." Serenity joked. She had a few fans but no one that would chase her through the streets. It would suck but it was also a cost that came with being famous, a goal she had since she was a child. Once she was famous she would have enough money to leave her dad, but she could still support him, maybe even send him to rehab. "Perhaps it is best to get used to this kind of stuff now if I want to continue on with my career goal." While Lilith was dreaming of what she could do, Alec was pacing the room, playing with his lighter as he did. His cool calm persona was gone for now, the guy had his sister. "Don't worry Samantha, I will save you." He mumbled to himself. He wondered what the girl would look like now, two years later. He wondered what Craxen had done to her as well. As soon as his sister was back with him he would kill Craxen and leave this hell hole of a life behind. The lizard dude was making a huge mistake by giving him powers. Alec was not afraid to use the powers against him. Alec had almost forgot that Lilith was in the room and when he remembered he turned to her with an angry, serious look on his face. "If you tell a single damn person about my sister or about this moment I will mess up your pretty little face so bad that no one will recognize it, got it? I am not joking." He threatened before he flicked the lighter closed.
