The Grimm Cadet Academy {Remake}

Cat with a grin.
Cat without a grin.
Grin without a cat?
That's me, Cheshire
and gee, do I love hats.

"Nasty minions," a disembodied voice scowled as the minions ran after the Grimms. "They say fire and ice always play nice, but that seems odd. As to who says that," suddenly, a floating pair of lips appeared in front of the minions, floating in front of them, "I've no idea whatsoever!" At the last word, the lips lurched forward and the first ice minion fell backwards, its chest erupting as if it was slashed. "Frozen water or liquid water, at the end of the day, you're still water and oh, how I hate you so, H2O! Though I'm rather fond of otters..." Green eyes faded into existence above the smile, which stretched to a rather large grin. The strange "smiley face" continued floating in front of the minions, who attempted to attack it, but the face evaded each time. "You can't strike what you can't see so you aim for that which you can see. And as long as I know where you're aiming, you shall never successfully hit me!" Once again, the face lunged forward, striking the same minion. This time, the minion stayed down. "I, however, will strike and strike and strike at thee. Now know my name," the mouth continued to grin as skin appeared around it and the eyes, followed by unkempt purple hair and an ear at each end of the grin, "I am Jabberwocky!"
The floating head danced through the air. "Will someone please handle these flames? They're a bit too...hot for my taste." He asked as his green eyes stayed on the minions. "Neko can handle the glorified ice cubes."

⊰ Nikki Skov ⊱​

Nikki felt herself get picked up, and then put back down again. She winced and sat there, feeling the tingling increase. Her arm was still completely dead and numb, but it was gradually fading away and boy did it hurt. "Oh come on, I had worse injuries before and I was fine." She sighed out, blinking as her vision fogged up again. How many were here with her? One, two, three... four, five... Too many Cadets were in the same place at the same time. Who was back home? She was just as anxious to get back as Mr. Alek, just in case the Minions decided to show up again or something. As for her partner, she had a feeling he was fine.

Upon hearing Lucifer's words, she couldn't help but make a face and stick out her tongue. "Eeeeew... you can be really gross sometimes, you know?" Despite the pain, she grinned up at her friend. She then looked to Philip. His face was foggy and she could barely see his face. she sighed out, looking down and closing her eyes as she held her numbed shoulder with her hand. She wasn't going to black out now, not in front of a crowd of people. 'Stay awake,' she encouraged herself and opened her eyes just a bit and kept them to the ground, waiting on Philip.

Misa healed up most of the cuts and bruises she received with her fall into the ravine, some lingered though. It was hard to see the little cuts and bruises that remained in the rain and darkness, but with Nikki hunching her left shoulder slightly and fighting to stay sitting up, anyone could see that she was exhausted. She shivered as the rain continued to drip on her.

[[OOC: Bawhahahhahaha, Popular from Wicked is playing while I'm typing this. :'D]]

The ice minions could SEE the floating smile, but they couldn't get ahold of it. By the time they tried to attempt to fight the unseen target, more than half were already down for the count. A couple jumped back away from the floating smile, and then one fired a few ice blasts just below the smile, another was firing far off from the floating one.

Meanwhile, the fire minions pursued onward, trying to catch up with the hare and continued to fire fireballs at him to attempt to stop. But of course, he was too fast and the wheat was consumed in flames.

​

Seeing all she had requested to come were in her audience, she acknowledged each of them with a little nod of her head. Although Peter was trying to milk it, as usual. Her sharp eyes landed on him, and then she didn't say a word. It was her turn to speak, not him. But there was no need for punishment. Instead, she raised her hands up above her. "Behold!"

The water from the water basin floated into the air, collecting together until it was a water like mirror facing the three before her. Images of a girl with a hood over her hair, her brown hair and braids barely visible, running through one of the farming communities with the Mystic Men right behind her. The image flashed, and it showed that the girl was already in the wheat fields, far ahead of the Mystic Men and the Minions closing in on her.

Queen Sylvia stepped to the side of the vision portal and looked to her subjects, servants. "A Grimm was reported to have come into one of our communities outside of the city," she began. "It's been a first time in a long time we have found them close to our Kingdom..."

The girl was shot by an ice attack and then stumbled out of view of the vision, but then the image shook and zoomed on where the Queen's daughter was standing, looking just as confused as the minions.

"You have done well my daughter to have attempted to pursue after the Grimm," Queen Sylvia said with amusement on her voice as she looked to Evalotte. "However, I was solely disappointed in you that you did not pursue after the girl while she was injured and alone. However..." The Queen then looked back to the vision.

It flashed to where a floating boy appeared, looking absolutely useless and an easy target for the minions, but it wasn't so. The ice minions fired at the pair, the girl stumbled out of the way only to suddenly extend her hand out under the shower of dirt. Roots sprung up from the ground by the Minion, encasing it in a gruesome manner before the roots dragged it into the ground. It flashed again, showing that the pair were out of the ravine and the boy had pulled out a violin, a mad look was in his eyes as his menacing grin flashed from under the shade of his hat. Dark creatures sprung from the ground around the fire Minions, attacking them left and right as the boy played his instrument.

Queen Sylvia could only simper as she glanced towards Peter. "I believe you may have found your new rival, Peter..."

The vision glass began to fade, unable to hold it any longer. The mirror then evaporated and fell back into the basin, the moving pictures gone.

The queen stepped in front of the basin, her dark demeanor demanding respect and attention. "If the people of Grimm and Wonderland can so easily sneak into my kingdom without being unnoticed, we have a problem on our hands. And as you can see," her eyes flashed with a glint of evil (but also a little fear in them if one could see closely), "they are not to be underestimated or toyed with. But they can be easily dealt with if we know more about them... My magic cannot reach into the Garriot Forest, and I can't step into the forest myself. So I have no power over them... However, those of the reincarnations can enter and go as they please...

I request my swiftest, my wisest, and my strongest to act as spies and venture into the forest. They're hiding in there somewhere. I do not need you to confront them, that would be stupid seeing that we don't know how many there are and what they're capable of. Find out who they are, where they're hiding, and perhaps... test them. But be wise in whether to engage with them in combat. I will not be able to help you, and so you're helpless." Queen Sylvia then smiled at her daughter, but it wasn't full of happiness or love, just that of an evil being. "I have found someone who can also help you with this quest..." She gestured to the shadows of the room.

Slowly, a small being, younger than the three in the room, stepped forward on cue. When she came into the candlelight, anyone could see the blank expression on her face. Her eyes had no light in them, her white hair as snow made her skin more pale than it should have been. She came and stood by the queen, looking downward and no where else. No emotions could be seen what so ever. A little purple pendent hung around her neck, glowing softly, but menacing. The mark of the Grimm was right in the center on her collar bone just above the hanging pendent, exposing what she was.

Queen Sylvia placed a hand on one of the small girl's shoulders, her fingers curling around the bony structure and her nails digging into her clothes just a bit. The girl didn't even flinch "Mirror... Mirror... on the wall. Who is fairest of them all?" She darkly chuckled, looking at Krowley with an all-knowing smile and then to her daughter. "This is your new sister," then she looked to the other two, "and my new daughter... She is well under my control and under yours if I so choose you to look after her, so long as this pendent is around her little neck. " Queen Sylvia fingered it just a bit before she stood tall, a hand still on the girl's shoulder. "Take off the pendent, and she will have her own will. But she will have no memory for a limited time, and you can influence her to do what you will. Leave the pendent on, she will listen to your every command... but the people of Grimm and Wonderland could be clever. Choose wisely, and you will not face my wrath."

The queen, still having a hand on the Grimm, looked towards Krowley evenly. "Krowley, what do you see?" Would this plan succeed or fail, she did not wish to ask aloud.

 

After placing the food, Rosie realized that she had neglected to set the table with diningware. "Oh silly me," she said to herself, "well, at least we're almost done. Then we can finally eat." She was of course thinking of the academy as a whole. Going back into the kitchen, she took as many plates as she could carry and set up the table for however many cadets there were. She did the same for the silverware. "There. All done," she said proudly.

 

Misa finished the berries that Philip had given her, licking off the extra juice that was on her lips. They were very tasty, but she found it a bit frustrating that they had left her fingers all sticky. She was tired of standing there like an idiot, so she joined up with the group. She could only imagine the kind of pain that Nikki was going though. Philip was wrapping up Nikki's arm the best he could, also trying to be careful not to hurt her too much. She forced on a friendly smile, simply to calm down her friend's nerves. She didn't really find it the appropriate time to smile though.

"So, what exactly were you doing out here; what was your mission," Misa asked as Philip finished bandaging her.

 

His cheek twitched. Rain. Fire. And a cat. Fabulous. What upset him the most however was the burning wheat. That was less food to go around for an already starving town. Brian did have the least bit of sympathy for the people of the city. Alastair only had a few more moments to pull off his magic trick. Otherwise a howl would fill this night. And the fire would finally be put out in the minions.

 

Re
The girl sat in the corner of the acadamy, a book in her lap, her hair falling in front of her face, as though shielding her from the rest of the world. Not once did she look up from her story, turning the pages methodicaly. She had read this tome many times before, but new books were hard to come by.

She didn't mind though. These books were familiar and comforting, some of them dog-eared and tattered, and she loved them. She didn't need anything else, did she? No, surely not.

Re turned another page. Well, perhaps she would miss the blue sky, if it ever came that it was no longer there. The sky was nice. She had colored several pictures of it, as though that could prove it.

She supposed she would also miss the people here. They were nice too, she guessed. They weren't mean, anyway. They kept trying to get her to wear shoes, though. She disliked wearing shoes. They hurt her feet and she couldn't run. She needed to run, sometimes. Not lately, though. There had been nothing to run from lately.​

 

OOC: I know the layout changed and my text might be hard to read.
I switched to the 'dark' 5.0 skin. If the colors bother you, they work on that one.
I'll try to find a better color for the lite skin soon. ;__;

​

Evalotte frowned at the letting her escape comment, but did nothing more. Her red eyes were focused on the girl before them. Briefly, she wondered if the pendant would hold the same power if removed and placed upon someone else. Her eyes drifted to Peter with slight malice before returning to where they were. She could feel her heart beat quicken in anticipation. It had been quite a while since she was able to have fun with the others, and with the people of Grimm. Of course, her mother had advised them to all be careful, and she agreed. They weren't to be trusted. But that only made it more exciting for her.

This was confirmed when she suddenly felt herself begin to crave something sweet. She smiled briefly at her mother and nodded with respect and understanding. A new sister, hm? This girl looked no more than a tool. She would definitely have to experiment with that pendant of hers someday.

​

​

​

Her eyes left Gracie as she took a deep breath and started to walk towards the kitchens. She could tell that Gracie wasn't feeling too well. Sure, Mirabelle suffered from nightmares from time to time, but they were really very goofy. Moreso discombobulating than actually frightening. She could remember Gracie describing one of her nightmares in vivid detail. She always looked detached after one of them, so she figured she may have suffered from one too. Nonetheless, instead of bringing it up and encouraging a talk about it, Mirabelle figured they should let Rosie know that they were okay. That woman loved to worry.

The aroma of food reached her nose and she smiled, rounding the corner with Gracie and plopping down in a seat near to Rosie, but far enough so that she wasn't in the way. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand childishly released a yawn before greeting herself.

"Sorry we took so long. Just woke up from a nap."

​

​

 

"Girl, it's not a nap if it extends into the evening," replied Rosie comedically serious. She took a good look at both girls. Though of course she was slightly miffed that she herself had to prepare dinner for everyone, Rosie was somewhat used to it. However, she recognized the signs of a fitful sleep on both their faces. I wonder if there's an herb or remedy to help them sleep better. If this keeps up it'll turn into a problem. she thought with a worried frown. "Well no matter, dinner's ready now. Now you either have the choice to wait for everyone to come back or eat now. Since I have a feeling they might've run into some trouble and they might be a while. I guess I should get on the intercom and call anyone still here," she said as she went back into the kitchen and said onto the intercom, "Serving now."

 

Jumping in a mere zig-zag style, Alastair continued to easily flee fire minions that pursued him. Though he had hadn’t expected the minions were smart enough to block his path, he still let out a light chuckle. “Mindless fools” Alastair said as his plan was coming along.

Mindlessly following him and blindly attempting to fire at him. This was what the mad hare exactly wanted. With all of them clumped together it would make things much easier to deliver a decisive blow to the group when they least expected. Yes his plan was going perfectly…but something unexpected happened.

The precious item inside the bag that had being dragged alongside was now burning from one of the fireballs shot from the minions. Alastair’s eyes widened as he attempted to shake the flames away, but in the end the heat caused Alastair drop the bag. Stopping his escape immediately, all Alastair could do was stand there and merely watch as his precious item burned on the ground below him. There was no use in attempting to salvage the item for it was too late.

With his precious item gone, Alastair closed his eyes as a small chuckle was suddenly let out of lips. That very same chuckle soon grew into a loud and insane laughter. Gripping his head with left hand and the handle of the sheathed blade with his right, Alastair looked over his shoulder at the approaching minions, his body twitching uncontrollably. With a gleeful grin Alastair immediately faced the minions and without a second thought he kicked off the ground and charged at the minions, hand gripped tightly on the hilt of the sheathed blade mounted on the side of his waist. Utilizing his ability “Unbottled Excitement” to increase his speed, Alastair charged and upon reaching his enemy drew out his blade and slashed at his opponent, attempting to cut through each one. To gather them together and cut them down all together, his plan was nearing its end

 

Re

She finally tore her eyes from her story when the loud voice came over the speakers that dinner was ready. Why was it so loud? Why couldn't it just be a normal tone of voice? It hurt her ears sometimes.
Nonetheless, she quietly shut her book and stood, making her way to where she could smell the sweet aroma of food calling to her. She wasn't that hungry, but she might be later, she always reasoned with herself. It was her excuse to make herself eat.
Re turned the corner and sat on the corner of a bench, trying to stay away from everyone else without actually looking as though she was, taking a bit of bread and nibbling on it, oblivious to the others in the room and their conversations.​

 

"Welp, go ahead and dig in like our other fellow cadet. And I don't like to discourage you guys from eating more, but try not to have seconds too much, since the others are probably going to arrive at some point or other. I have faith in the one I requested to go and see what's up," nodded Rosie to herself in agreement. She indicated with her hand the food once more for the two other girls to eat. Rosie wasn't really that strict with manners and such. After being away from her household, it still felt nice to just be free of those sorts of restrictions. But of course she would not take any sort of malicious behavior, be it with words or otherwise.

 

EDITED: Sorry I posted so sloppily guys! It's fixed now. GO AHEAD AND READ IT AND POST NOW! :'D It won't happen again.

~~~

The fire minions were clearly taken off guard as the Hare like boy jumped through them and slashed them down one at a time. They began to fire all around them, furiously trying to stop the slashing and end the target now before the boy completely destroyed them.

Meanwhile the ice minions were regrouping, trying to retaliate against the floating figure in front of them. Some slipped by, going to help their fire minions by trying to sneak up behind Alastair and freeze him with their ice attacks.

​

A smile curled on the queen's lips as she listened to Krowley's words. Just as what she had expected. All her plans usually succeeded, she would be sure that the people of Grimm and Wonderland would be crushed under her thumb this time. And this time, she wasn't going to be as rash with her decisions either. Queen Sylvia would be sure to crush them if she ever had a chance to lay her hands on them. There would be no mercy this round, she knew she could not come back from the dead a second time.

She looked at the three before her, then to the girl at her side. She then looked up at Peter and her daughter, raising her arm to them. "You two, you will act as spies within the forest. Find any sign of those who oppose me. Once you find them, gather any vaulable information you have on them. Use her if you need to as an inside source." She gently pushed the half dazed girl in front of her, the girl's head still looking downward. "You will all leave at dawn tomorrow, and come back to me within seven days at the most. You may come back sooner if you believe you have enough information. Mind you, come back with measly useless reports and you will face the consequences..." She then looked to her other faithful servant and smiled slowly. "Krowley, my dear loyal mirror, you will stay with me in the castle until further notice... I'm sure Grimm and Wonderland will pay our kingdom a visit soon enough again. Then, you can unleash your true form if you so desire to."

Queen Sylvia lowered her arm for just a moment, looking down at the little one once more. To think, she had Snow White right in her grasp. She would be sure to manipulate her to do what she would like, even if she left her in the care of who ever she chose to. She would become corrupted, she wouldn't be the same Snow White she was in the past. "Evalotte my dear sweet child... I give you the permission to unlock the amulet from your sister at any time. Choose wisely, or face the wrath of your mother..."

A sort of dark energy fluttered around Evalotte, forming into a skull. It wrapped around her, and then disappeared. Thus, the power of the amulet was bestowed on her daughter.

"She will only listen to your command alone, but I still have full power over her. Simply say, 'Dark amulet, unlock' and the spell of the amulet will fade. To have her as a puppet again, say, 'Dark amulet, lock' and she is under your control again. Choose wisely my daughter... Show your new sister what it's like in this kingdom." If Peter was peeved about this, she wouldn't have cared. Although young but wise, Queen Sylvia knew that the older one still made more righteous decisions than the piper No way was she going to just hand over Snow White to any one of her followers. If Peter proved himself over time, someday perhaps he would have the same power as her daughter. She looked at her followers one last time, and then spoke. "All of you, leave now. Prepare yourselves for tomorrow." Then she looked at the two she designated as spies. "And don't let me down, or else. Nieve.

N i ev e

The girl who was standing in front of the trio like a mindless puppet suddenly looked up, hearing her name called. "Yes Mother?" she asked. Her voice had no light on it with no real tone to it at all. It was plain, simple, just like the Mystic Men. She indeed had no will of her own at all.

"Go with your sister now. She will look after you."

"Yes mother." Nieve, what the queen called her, turned around and curtsied low to her mother. The pendent glinted as she turned about to face the Queen of Hearts, then she stepped forward slowly towards the older girl until she was standing at least three feet in front of her, not even looking at the boys on either side of the girl. Nieve then curtsied just as she did for Queen Sylvia and her blank eyes glanced up to the ones in front of her. "I am here to serve you, my sister."

[TIME SKIP JUST ON NIKKI'S SIDE! -With permission from everyone on the OOC thread- (Who ever is with Nikki, you are now at the Academy, just arriving after finding Nikki and Lucifer. Nikki is still hurt, Rosie has dinner ready, so choose where you want to be for the time. Interact with each other. Everyone else is going along like there wasn't a time skip for you at all.]​

⊰ Nikki Skov ⊱​

Nikki winced as she sat on the healing cot, holding her numb arm still. She didn't remember who dropped her off, someone carried her. She could've knocked out on the way home, but then again she wasn't sure.

She was sitting up and leaning against the wall, her eyes shut as she tried to block out the pain that was pulsating through her body. Nikki tried to get up once she realized she was back at home, but of course her numbed arm and aching body reminded her of the ordeal she went through earlier and her brain was screaming at her to stay put or else. But she wasn't going to lay back down again and go unconscious. Everyone was back, she could rest easy now. At least mostly everyone. 'I hope the others will come back safely..,' What happened exactly... They never got caught before, but suddenly everything went downhill at once. Like she was assuming earlier, someone must've known they were coming. Perhaps their ally turned against them? But that couldn't be it. Could it?

"Nn!" Nikki tightened her hold on her arm as the pins and needles suddenly shot through her limb, making her wince and press her head against the wall as she gritted her teeth. Her nails dug in her skin, her body shuddered, but there was nothing she could do to ease the pain she felt. She cut it really close this time, and barely got away. "So stupid..." she seethed through her teeth at herself as she banged her head against the wall a bit.

 

​

Evalotte glanced down at the girl as her mother spoke. Hearing her call the Queen 'Mother' made her sick. This was remedied a tad bit when the girl referred to her as sister. She nodded respectfully at the Queen, before locking her gaze back on the younger one in front of her. She wondered briefly what she would do and how she could exploit the powers she had been given over this girl, but she couldn't think of anything at the moment other than to make her fetch some strawberry milk. She rolled her eyes and turned her back towards her, with one last deliberate glance towards Peter. She smiled.

"Come on."

She figured the girl should stay nearby. Within Evalotte's chambers was an equally large guest room separated by one hallway and some thick drapes. She often used this room to hoard things of the red variety, but a puppet shouldn't do much damage. Step by step, she led her into the room; past her plate of cake. For some reason, she couldn't shake of the annoyance of having this girl here. Maybe she would experiment later with that pendant. That ought to give her a rush of some sort. Until then...

"This is your room. Enjoy. Don't break anything, eat anything, steal anything...or touch anything except for the bed." Her red eyes flashed, piercing right into Nieve's, before she drew the heavy drapes back and disappeared behind them, hoping Nieve wouldn't follow.

​

​

 

Shortly after Rosie had once again told her fellow cadets to eat, the missing party burst in through the doors with a very sickly looking Nikki in tow. Having had a bad feeling before, when she was setting up dinner, Rosie had already prepared everything she needed to be the resident makeshift "doctor". Staying calm, she led the group back into the kitchen where a small cot was already set up beside the stove. "All right. What happened and what'd you guys do thus far?" she questioned the group. "Everyone else not specially involved, and for the most part fine, go and eat dinner. All other stay here and fill me in. Misa, if you can, I require your natural gift," ordered Rosie, rolling up her sleeves and preparing to undress Nikki. She suddenly halted and looked around at the group. "Uh right...guys just go outside and tell me from there," edited Rosie blushing. Whoops. Turning back to Nikki, she put her hand on her cheek and neck, checking her pulse and said gently, "Nikki, are you lucid? Hey, it's all going to be all right. We'll try to fix you right up. Just bear with me."

 

OOC: I'm going to start posting after someone interacts with my characters for now on, instead of waiting for everyone to reply and post all my characters at once. I will wait at least two days, maybe less, maybe more, to post. So yeah, those who haven't posted yet, please do so. c: Questions of how to post or what to do or what else, PM ME!

N i ev e

The girl stood there, tilting her head as she watched the other girl that told her what she could do and what she could not... But then the girl didn't say what she should do now. She did give Nieve one command though to follow by. Not touching, or steeling, or eating anything at all, she walked like a zombie to the bed and touched it. Then drawn to her mistress, she turned and followed after Evalotte like a little lost puppy. She stayed her distance, about two feet as her blank eyes stared into nothingness as she walked sluggishly behind Evalotte.








⊰ Nikki Skov ⊱​

Nikki heard Rosie's voice, opening her eyes to see the girl standing over her. "H-hey," Nikki said, her voice cracking as she tried to give Rosie a smile as she checked her pulse. "It's your favorite patient..." Nikki took in a deep, shaky breath trying to calm her nerves. "Lucid? Um... more like foggy and insane due to pain-" With that, Nikki tightened her hold on her arm again and stopped talking, holding back from groaning or making any sort of noise. 'Dude, it burns!' Her right arm of course felt like ice while the rest of her body was feverish.

"Mission was a success," Nikki forced herself to speak through her gritted teeth. "Getting out was not. They knew-" wince "Nn, we were coming I think... I lost Alastair. Got hit by an ice minion, fell into a ravine... He numbed my whole right arm, the bugger..." Nikki took in a gulp of air, her chest heaving up and down as she turned her head to the side to try to hide from the pain. "Philip... Philip took something out. Wrapped my arm where the ice minion hit me..."

 

Philip seemed to refuse to move away from Misa. He knew that the girls needed their privacy, but he felt that Rosie was asking too much of Misa. She had already healed her as much as she possibly could. His biggest fear was having her work too hard helping others, passing out, and never waking up. He tightened his grip around her hand as she led him to the door. "You're coming with me," Philip told Misa as the two of them reached the door.

"No, I"m not. You're not the ruler over me; I'm going to be okay." Misa's voice was very firm. "You were out all night anyway, making sure that we were safe. You're the one who needs to rest up. Quit worrying about me for a little while; it's not healthy." She kissed him on the cheek and lightened her grip on his hand. "I love you; go make sure that Lucifer is okay."

Without saying another word, Philip left. He wasn't comfortable leaving her behind when she was so weak, but he knew that there was no arguing with her. Misa made her way to Nikki and Rosie, ready to do whatever needed doing. She placed her hands on Nikki's shoulders and started reciting a chant under her breath.

 

"Welp, looks like she made her choice, Phillip, now get out before I take out the thorns," she threatened casually while putting on some gloves. Assuming that all guys have already scurried out of the kitchen, Rosie wasted no time undressing Nikki's top. She also took off any bandaging done. "Nikki, do you think there's a problem with your spine or neck? I'd like to turn you over to get a good look at your back, but..." told Rosie. They would have to stabilize her and move her carefully, and that all seemed like such a hassle and Rosie would really rather avoid doing all that and get down to the real problem. Uh no. If you truly cared, you'd care about all the little details and nuances too, if you were truly a doctor. she scolded herself. "Nevermind, pointless question. Misa, help me move her steadily. You hold her head and I'll move the body and on my mark, you move her head in sync. Ready? 1, 2, 3!" she ordered. Rosie slowly turned Nikki's body to the side. "Okay, we'll just keep you like that for now and then we might risk turning you completely on your stomach later. Now let's see here..." Rosie looked at the wound where the icicle had pierced through near her right shoulder. "You know, under normal circumstances I would be pissed that Phillip ripped that thing out of you, as a normal wound would've bled even more. But since this is the icicle of an ice minion, it was probably for the better to get the thing with poison out. Now you said it numbed your whole arm? Must be something blocking your nerves...maybe we could use that stuff as an anesthetic? Uh nevermind..." muttered Rosie as she slowly poked the wound. She ignored any sort of screaming of pain from Nikki as she further investigated. Rosie was now in curious doctor mode. And that can be a scary thing sometimes. Especially since she's never been trained to be one. "So Nikki, has the numbness been spreading lately? Or has it stopped?"
