Midsummer NiGHTopia [open, and still accepting characters, humans now avalible]

Eva gave Puc a little wave as he departed out the door, finally letting her smile fade off into a frown as he made it out of sight. Eva still didn't understand any of this...but it's best to just let things run their course.
..Come to think of it...Exo had a strange mask on as well as Puc when he had dropped by...something odd is definately going odd around here.....but it's not her place to ask questions anymore...so..she'll just have to sit back and let the others do as they please.
Lying back down on her pillow, Eva once again closed her eyes, heaving a little yawn as she got herself comfortable again. She'll wait for Puc to come home again....it doesn't matter how long he takes, as long as he makes it back home with sweet face, bearing a wonderful smile..

There was nothing to be found, this blank and boring white room considered to be Puc's, there was nothing Vaye could find to even subject to anything, all it was, was just a room. It annoyed her, to think she would find something.....Puc was terrible when it came to home decor.....maybe she could have a little fun with this.....a wide grin across her face as, she crawled under his bed.

Reala could barely move, all except his right arm......time to stall this out. "Should have known, it's not easy to surprise you Bomamba." Reala continued the conversation, when she least expects it....
"Naturally, it's a born sense to never be caught by such sly actions. Now that you're here, I think you should be the first to know of my new skill, after all." raising her free hand, a green string extended from the palm of her hand. While making her preparations, Reala summoned his lance in his open arm, using the blunt end to pry him open from Bomamba's grasp, and slash at the arm that had kept him prisoner, a loud howl of pain echoed through the nightmare.

Puc left through the front door, into and area he had only seen once, a dark path, while the only light radiated from their home, with its absence of color, he floated further out, there must be somewhere where he could keep an eye on the home and any oncoming enemies....but where....?

Chive heard the front entrance open and close, his curiosity once again rarely winning over his judgement as he flew to his door and peered out. Somebody left..couldn't have been Exo, though, Chive can still hear his rummaging around through his door...but then, that only leaves Eva and Puc.....Eva hadn't left again, had she??
Scurrying to his sister's room Chive cracked her door open, viewing what appeared to be a snoozing Eva in her bed, covered only by a red coat floating in a sea of white. If Eva is still here..it must have been Puc that left. Unexpected...but nothing too out of the ordinary...but Chive might as well check while he's stil out and about...if not to ensure that someone had indeed went out..not snuck in.
Reaching Puc's door after a calm glide down the hallway, Chive gave two slow knowcks with the back of his hand, waiting for a good ten seconds before eventually repearing the procedure with Eva's door. Cracking it open, Chive stared through and scanned for Puc...but it was odd, though...a portal was in there...perhaps Puc may be doing something? Intriguing...but unfortunately, none of his buisness.
...but even if there wasn't a soul in here besides himself...Chive didn't ike it. He felt as though someone else were nearby...but like that was a possibility.
Maybe Puc is setting a trap for a target? Clever man, that Puc..

SPiTE paralooped to the dream gate, if he couldn't find Reala, he would find the rouge the resigned here, the nightmaren that controls plants, and to his surprise, the set up of plants as decorations and traps, were damaged. petals, stems and entire plants, eaten or wilting with the scars of bite marks all leading to a cat at the top of the stairs, unable to move after its gluten feast, and rest with stomach pains, as SPiTE wondered, "Did the cat eat her too?"

Bomamba looked at her hand with frustration, a red scar forming on her left palm, Reala would pay for his actions.....with his loyalty. Even with the throbbing pain, Bomamba was still able to provide a smile across her face, as she whipped the green string out at Reala, who easily dodged it, focusing on the other hand to hit, knowing that she uses her palms to summon this mysterious string...

It was set, Vaye plated a seed that would put its victim in a suitable placement for Vaye to enjoy, wanting the return of Puc to be soon or latter, She looked out at the doorway, upside down, as it opened, could it be Puc? No, those legs, they were someone she knew.....someone she wanted to see again.....just as much as Puc, maybe even sooner. As the legs left her sight, she skittered out from under the bed, it was time for some fun.

Chive gave a bored yawn as he floated leasurely back to his room, brush proped up on shoulder as he hummed a little song to himself. Even Puc seems to be getting into all this fighting and whatnot...yet Chive seems to remain the only one without a plan...he still didn't really want to go and beat up some random and possibly innocent person just to break the mask off their face..but Master did give them a way to get out of fighting...he wouldn't be looked down on if he chose to end peacefully, would he?
Chive gave a sigh as he reached his door, letting his head come down and rest on the frame. Taking someone on...might not be all bad...it has been ages since anything's come around to him....maybe, it did make him wonder about that odd girl again though. That Vaye....ugh, she sends his head in loops even with her presence somewhere entriely far away! ...His name is not silly or weird or odd or anything!!

Even with the threat of raged cats and Bomamba's strong whip, Reala danced through each opening in their attacks, getting closer and closer to Bomamba, to end this match and continue to the next fighter. Bomamba would not surrender even with ever missed shot at Reala, her persistence kept her rage and concentration going.
Reala planned to end this, as he dove in throwing his lance at Bomamba's forehead. She occupied the whip to deflect the lance, but it was too late....Reala charged right at her face, hitting the persona with his fist......dead center.....

Vaye opened the door slowly, and looked out into the hall, she smiled to see Chive, still within range, stepping out into the hall she dropped four seeds in a line right outside Puc's doorway, and now, for the fun, as she took in a deep breath, and yelled through the halls, "HEY!!!!!!! I'M RIGHT HERE CHIVE, YOU SILLY!!!!"

The echo of of voice caught Puc's attention, it came from inside their home. He was barely able to tell what was said....but Chive's name was audible enough....someone was looking for him, but who....? Eva wouldn't be that loud.....Puc was curious he flew back to the home, to find out.

Exo and Eva both turned towards their doors at the loud comotion echoing to them, both of them stumped as to who could have bellowed such a racket...and towards Chive...
That voice was definately feminine...and Eva hadn't said a thing..

Body stiff, lax eyes poped open, and brush trembiling lightly in his shaky grasp....Chive stood blankly in his spot....knowing that voice, recognizing that pitch....remembering the only person that has ever called him silly...
"V-..." Chive stuttered, turning his wide gaze directy behind him...to view the happy face of that odd girl...he...he can't understand.., "V-...Vay..e.." Chive couldn't believe it..how did this girl find her way into his home? Especially like this?
"...Chive?" A soft voice began, making a frightful turn from Chive as his head shot towards his sister's door, now veiwing a sleepy Eva hovering in her doorway, "...Is something wrong?"
Chive couldn't risk it, he remembered what Puc said before. Vaye attacked both Puc and Eva...he can't risk having her get infected with some bacteria too. With a lightning fast fling of his brush Chive whipped a trail of paint down the hallway, and after coliding slopily with Eva's door, it began to form into a massive chain, shooting around his sibling before tightening up and pulling the door shut, pushing her back into her room as it swung closed, locked up in place, and not two seconds after that, Chive repeated the same thing to Exo's door, closing it up before he could even get to the handle.
"....G-..." Chive began as he turned back to Vaye, brush kept ready at his side as he tried his best to form the words he wanted...not able to stop himself from his trained manners, "...Good....evening...m-m-..ma'am..."

"A pleasure to met you this evening as well." Vaye curtsied her new skirt as it presented its full pattern while stretched hand to hand. "I'm surprised though, how heroic you're trying to be...." Vaye walked in closer, emotion in her eyes, "Why do you think I would threaten anyone else here, better be safe then sorry, right? Besides, I only came to see you.." She batted her eyes, acting as though the last experience meeting with Chive, never occurred.

SPiTE ascended to the top of the staircase at the dream gate, flying past the destroyed vegetation, and the cat with the full belly, to a stand where a empty glass sphere rested. SPiTE was curious, these stairs were not here before, could they perhaps.......was this......the core? To put it such an easy to find location, and yet....something still didn't make sense, if the cat did eat that plant taming nightmaren, then why was the core still empty......Wizeman said each time persona is broken, it would be released here....then....was the persona still in the cat?

A crack appeared in the center of Bomamba's persona, and to Reala's surprise, still stayed in contact. This wasn't good, he didn't plan for it to still stay together, as the green string grabbed him and flung him at the wall. With a second to react, Reala hit the wall and up-rut stop, and fell to the the ground floor, where eager cats moved the tails in a synchronized wave, ready to all pounce on Reala, and end this battle.

Chive was clueless on what to do, utterly stumped by Vaye and words, leaving him just floating in place, an empty shell...with clentch forming in his chest as Vaye began to draw closer. Chive couldn't help but let his eyes become trapped in Vaye's gaze, listening to his words, even more unsure with what to think now hearing that she hadn't even thought about going for anyone else here....Chive still believed her claims...he had no reason to think that she was playing around with him again..
Vaye...he still doesn't understand her..! She acts as if she has no hard feelings for him, like that night where he had persured and confronted her was nothing at all in her mind...it confounded him...what in the world does this girl think??!
"I-...I-.." Chive babbled out, eyes still trapped in Vaye's powerfull look...but Chive was able to break free suddenly, as Vaye began to do something weird..is something happening to her?? "...Is.." Chive began as he stared with intrest, not at all knowing what in the night demension Vaye is doing, "...is there something wrong with your eyes..?"

Exo wasn't able to get himself out of his room...but hearing the conversation being had drift to him was satisfactory enough. This feminine voice he heard....this is that Vaye girl, huh? well...suprise, suprise! Exo hadn't concidered that girl coming for Chive...but this might play out well for his sibling. Now not being forced to fight, but being pulled into one...this is something Chive can work with.
But as exo kept plotting out Chive's advantages for this confrontation...he suddenly heard something, something that made his non-present eyebrow raise....all the way up. This girl...came to see Chive? A girl came to see Chive? ...Well, well, well.....Chive certainly left out this detail...Exo wondered where this could go from here...

Even after all his attempts to get the persona from the cat, all his experiments all led to the conclusion, the cat didn't have it. So what happened then, she couldn't battle one cat and just ran off.....through....Something caught SPiTE's attention as he floated down down the staircase, a portal left opened, and she forget to shut it, clumsy girl....

Puc sneaked back into the home leaving the door opened as he entered to not cause attention to himself, he listened in on conversation,
Vaye giggled, "Oh Chive, you have the persona of intelligence, and yet you can't tell when a girl likes you?"
Puc's eyes were widen open.....that's....that's Vaye's voice.....talking to Chive....and......she likes him? Since when.....he thought she still had that over-obsessive crush on him.....so why Chive....this had to be a trap.

Reala had enough of this, this battle was going nowhere, and even his powerful strategy to this battle didn't work as planned, only one choice now, as he fell down towards a crowd of hungry cats, he dodged getting any of his limbs bitten and flew close to the ground to retrieve his lance. Bomamba tried to tangle him with her whip, but alas to his luck, it missed completely, and he was able to get his lance and himself out of this nightmare through a quickly made paraloop, leaving behind, an angry and damaged witch.

Chive blinked....did he hear that correctly? Vaye said she likes him...did she not..? But...he thought she didn't like him, found him as only a pest or ally of Puc, which must therefore be grouped as someone to dislike. But yet...Vaye said she likes him...Chive's head was in loops.
Chive knows that Eva likes him, but he's never seen her do that odd eye spam thing to him...is that odd thing perhaps a code for something he has yet to be taught? How odd...but then again, out of all the time Chive has known Vaye...little has there been a moment where she hasn't completely dumbstruck him. "I suppose I have much to learn.." Chive began as he rubbed his head, still unsure whether he is understanding fully of what Vaye means, "...but I guess I may learn in time, seeing as though you find me as a friend to you now." Chive gave a half smile, not knowing what he was supposed to do, what emotion to show, what expression to give....but if it made her satisfied with his reply...sure, why not give a smile.

Exo couldn't believe what he was hearing, this girl wandering the hall apparently has a thing for Chive....Exo didn't know whether to be proud of his sibling, or to start laughing. Hearing Chive respond alone was enough to send Exo off into a chuckle, oh, if only Chive understood what she ment by that....oh, the look on his clueless face would be priceless..but no...that little admittion flew right over his head. Unsuprising.
Exo never thought that his brother might attract himself a little friend one day...but this poor girl...to follow after someone that doesn't even know half the things about that subject...this poor, poor girl.
...She hit the nail on the head with that one....he is a"silly".

Puc clinched his fist, Vaye was taking her time to fool Chive, and he's falling for it? Why would he have feelings for her, or even say their friends? Puc wasn't trying to judge his actions, this was obviously a set-up, and he couldn't let Chive lose in this war......not by her.....Puc appeared from hiding, "Get away from her Chive!!"
"Puc.....??" Vaye was surprised.....and angered, she felt it strange......Puc was playing the hero once again....Vaye was always the bad girl....she hated how it was always theses situations.....but enjoyed her role so much, as she rose a vine from the ground, to whip around Chive's arms and legs and pull him to the ground, at her side.

SPiTE listened from the portal.......Vaye.....that persistent nightmaren, who denied the greatness that is Master WIzeman, was right through there, talking to someone, he heard the voice of three. SPiTE sneaked through, catching Vaye off guard meant one persona gone, if she found other competitors, he would be able to take down all at once.

Lei-Lei viewed Reala's battle from afar, casting a paraloop to see but not be seen, and it ended in no contest, Reala simply just left, as he did in his battle with SPiTE. Does he just plan to leave them for dead, and hope they take the hint to fall down and stay down......such an odd one he is, and respect as one of the best....once one of the best

Chive didn't know what was going on, but he could only suspect he must have been fooled again...somehow....but before he could even think about his next action...an odd noise caught his attention, and before he knew what hit him, Chive was entangled in a grip of green, soon topiling over towards the hard floor as his brush flew free from the binding plant, landing in sync with its Master, with a solid, echoing thud. He didn't get this, how come he keeps falling for the simplest things this girl pulls?? ...Was it that she was planning to do this all along??
Chive squirmed, but was defenseless to this vine, its solid grip too powerful for him to even hope to break with all four limbs intertwined. ...Why did he let Vaye talk him into anything again....he's never felt so...so..gullible..

Hearing a boast from Piglet from down the hallway made Exo's non-prest brow travel back up again, unsure with what struggle is happening just outside his locked-up door..but whatever it was...it seemed that Chive's litte friend isn't as innocent and sweet as she had sounded.
"Chive?" Exo called out, pounding on his door, hoping for a reply...but all he heard was a sickening twisting noise..he's breaking out of here.
Heading upwards as he began to circle back, Exo planned to just paraloop his way into the hall, one of the only flaws in Chive's plan to lock him in...but as he traveled upward...his foot caught a snag.
Jerking back towards the ground, Exo stared angirly at his ankle...a shackle attached firmly around it.
Oh...oh he sees....Chive must have flung paint all across his door..top to bottom...enough to seep through the small crack hovering above the floor...and enough to splash onto his foot.
....Well, it seems Chive will have to fair on his own...seeing as he's locked him up to his own door. Exo only hoped the hag could get out there and help...but little to Exo's knowledge, Eva's situation was no greater then his own, lying on the floor from being flung back, shackle around her ankle as well...out cold.

"Let him go Vaye!!!" Puc demanded as he took a battle stance, ready to help Chive escape and defend him, but nothing more. It would be beneficial to knock her out of this tournament, but even then, would she still fight them....?
"I don't have to listen to you Puc, I've found someone else to claim, just like Eva has with you, and if I can't have you, well....Chive will be the next best thing. As she bent down to place her hand on his cheek, not seeing the appearance of unexpected attacker, lunging forth, Puc only had second to respond....

Chive listened fully to Puc and Vaye's banter to one another, confused at first with what Vaye was talking about...but slowly, as he thought more on it...the explination became clear. What Vaye had mentioned about Eva claming Puc...that could only mean one of two things. Puc being her servant, which Chive knew Eva was given Puc, not her simply running out and picking him out as her own....or that how Eva feels that close admiration towards him...that was the only option of the two that made a logical point...but if that's what Vaye had implied, then that would mean that she feels that admiration to Puc....that kiss from before...she must have set it up! It made sense to him now! Vaye isn't all crazy...she's just diabolically genious! So because Eva has already claimed Puc as she had stated, Vaye wants to take Chive instead? So what....she wants to "claim" him? What could that mea-.....wait-wait-wait..wait, claim...admiration...him.......oh... . . OH.
Eyes popped wide open once again, Chive's eyes slowly rolled to view the hand caressing his cheek, a slight shudder going through him, the feeling of her hand giving him all the information he could ask.
....He's been caught in someone else's sights...and that someone...caught him.

Puc let out a scream, that made Vaye let go of Chive and cringe back and SPiTE pull back to Puc's doorway, covering his ears, the sound was so irritating....Puc flew to Chive's side as he shouted to Vaye, "Beside you!"
Vaye looked out the corner of her right eye, another nightmaren.....but.....Puc saw him.....then.....Vaye couldn't just daydream about this she stood up, SPiTE still held his ears in pain, she pushed SPiTE right onto Puc's bed, and without time to react, the seed set off underneath the bed, and wrapped SPiTE tight, between several vines.

An unbearable screech echoed throughout the hallway, causing Exo to go realing, failing flat on his back as held his aching head in his hands. What in the world could have made that noise?? No way that could have been Chive or that girl....only other option was Piglet, but even so...Piglet? No, it couldn't possibly, no. But honestly....Exo didn't really care for that horrible screech as much as the information he had heard just before it.
...Back to what he had snooped from before, what that Vaye girl had spoke...what could she mean by, "Eva claiming Puc"? The way she used the term describing herself, it made it seem as though she were taking Chive as her own, seeming as apparently she had been shot down by Piglet....so if that were the case, they were descretely talking about...love...?
The sickening word it was..but if Vaye had said Eva had claimed Puc as she has claimed Chive....well...that was just ridiculous; she'd be implying that Eva is in love with her Piglet.
Eva...in love with her..Piglet...that's not possible..he would know.

Bomamba growled from her nightmare, as her cats too also felt her anger towards this loss, Reala has the advantage now, having a nearly broken persona, meant she would be an easy target to any direct hit, she won't lose that easily, not with anew plan devised. Her string, used for domestication, will find its purpose, as Bomamba stared through her cauldron, showing a vision, of a snarling three headed dog.

Reala flew back to Nightmare, up into a tall mountain side, finding a cave to rest by, he had enough fighting for today.....but yet.....he couldn't defeat either of them.....his only choice, was to.....hope....hope they just lost after all he could dish out....but it still wasn't enough....he needed more power...

Vaye released the vine's grip on Chive, she smiled, "To think I would be saved by the hero." she said said sarcastically, as she brought Chive back to his feet, giving him a hug, and looking back at Puc, he was concerned.
"Why are you looking at me like that?", Vaye asked, wondering if he was at least jealous.
"You still don't get it Vaye." Puc began, pointing at her, "You can't just claim someone against their will, they have to also accept that you share the same emotions with the one you pursue, not be pulled into this kind of situation Vaye, only then....can you rejoice." Vaye let her grip off of Chive.....she didn't want to listen to his words......he wasn't....no....he was....but....Vaye left back to Puc's room, with no words farewell, easily taking the persona from the struggling SPiTE, and leaving back through the portal, shutting it on the way back, SPiTE demanded to be released, and to have that girl caught and punished.

Chive wasn't sure what to make of the situation...being held in what is most likely the first hug he has even been given..hearing the struggles and objections of some bound and tied up Nightmaren floating to him...listening to what Puc had to say...to call this all confusing was not a strong enough term.
Suprisingly though, Chive felt Vaye release him, which only made for more curiousity as he studied her. It seems as though her mood changed from being told that claiming people isn't something for her to do...but it only made Chive feel a little sad to see her walk off and dissapear into Puc's room. He didn't know why....but it just felt a little cruel to send her off in such a way...maybe it's just him, but he hoped she would be okay after she calms herself down.
With the intentions to thank Puc for his aid as his first act to do chive went ahead and turned towards him, thankful that he got him out of whatever Vaye was wanting next....but before he could get the words out...Chive heard a quick sound of a gun going off, followed by a small flurry of shots before the halls quieted back down, and a portal opened up....right outside Exo's door.
"...Chive..." Exo began slowly, placing his guns back into the sides of his belt as he threw a cold stare down the hallway, waiting for the quick burst of air to dispure from his portal closing before finishing his statement. "....mind telling big brother Exo what all this claiming nonsense is abou-...." but Exo stoped, listening intently to some newly found ruckus, only recieving a narrowed stare and grunt from him before adding quickly, "..who the heck is that?"

Puc knew out of anyone, Chive could reason with Exo to the best intent, "I'll go check" Puc responded, floating past Chive to check inside his room, the sneak attacking nightmaren, tied to his bed by Vaye's strangling vines. SPiTE continued to struggle and flail his way out, but it was no use, now noticing Puc in the room, he complained directly to him, "I hope you're happy, stunning me and letting that witch escape with my persona, it's unfair, there's only suppose to be one winner, no teamwork..." SPiTE continued to yell, it was annoying Puc, but he got him to shut up, asking, "Where did the girl go?"
SPiTE took a few seconds, looking dumbfounded, "You teamed up with her and didn't know where she was heading to?"
"just answer the question" Puc said sternly, keeping SPiTE's attention.
"She left through the portal in this room......and took my persona with her...."
So that black persona......Vaye now has it, and she most likely.....just took out the first competitor.

"Uh...uh.." Chive stuttered, watching with a gape as Puc took the only way out of having to relay everything, "Well, Exo...you see..." Chive tried to think of some words to use, but honest...what kind of words could he use to tell all this? This whole things...indescribeable.
"...You see," Chive began with a nervous chuckle moving closer to his annoyed sibling as he patted him on the shoulder a few times, "..a little while after you went and closed yourself in your room...Vaye...sort of...dropped by...not a lot to day after that.." Chive tried to end it there, not wanting to have to go through all that confusing jumble again...but Exo continued to stare at him with his narrowed eyes, before asking, "...then I was locked up, why?"
"...well....Vaye.." chive began hastily, hating how he has to say such things, "...she has been known to...do things...I just wanted to keep you and sister safe-"
"...And then the claiming buisness?" Exo interjected, crossing his arms as he stood up straight, eyeing Chive and his nervous eyes.
"...Vaye...V-Vaye..." Chive blabbered, rubbing his head...but Exo already had figured out that mess while he was still chained up on the floor, before he shot the chain off his shackled foot. No...Exo just wanted to make sure he had it right, and juding by Chive's uncharacteristic behavior, Exo has it alright....all figured out, but one. little. thing...
"...Chive.." Exo began again, recieving a stand of attention from his younger sibling as he still held his nervous eyes, "...honestly....all I want to know is one thing..." Exo leaned in close, serious gaze breaking through Chive's nervous final barrior, "....does Eva love her Piglet?"
All Chive could so is stare, breathing heavy...only responding, "........That is not for me to answer.."

Puc wasn't just going to leave SPiTE tied to his bed, especially if he goes all spastic once again and just complains about his situation. "I'll get you out of here, but only through paraloop." Puc circled around a few times, enough to create a portal, similar to Eva's design. "Just say your location and you should be able to escape."
SPiTE laid their for a moment, he was given a second chance to fight, to get his persona back before it is broken, "Dream Gate!" he shouted, and vanished, leaving the bed empty and colorless.

Vaye to a sight she never thought she would see.....her plants.....eaten....and withered. "Wha.....what happened?!?!" Vaye ran quickly up the stairs, and attacker was here? For what purpose, to steal the ideya vessel. Safe to her surprise, the glass sphere remained, untouched. Her plants could easily be restored to full growth, but still shocked her to see her defensive blockade.....devoured.

Bomamba was impressed by her cats findings, though was curious to see it return in such an obtuse state. "So...the wearer of hope thought she could protect it....the prize....She deserves our full attention pretties, if she thinks she can keep the prize safe." Bomamba gather his cats, and opened a paraloop to a musky field, howls of terror and chains raddled, welcoming any who choose to stick their head....in the dog cage.

Chive didn't know what was going to happen now...Exo had gone silent, standing with posture perfect and eyes attached to the ceiling, unmoving in even the slightest degree...a bomb waiting for its fuse to run up the rest of the line, and reach its explosive core.
"....Exo?" Chive asked quietly, only recieving the first movemnt from his brother in what seemed like an enternity, a shift to the other foot, before Exo turning around, and gliding silently down the hallway...soon dissapearing behind the corner.
Chive was nervous with this behavior he's seeing...perhaps Exo really thinks its true...Chive couldn't bear this anymore, he had to ask someone, but as he turned and hurried to Puc's room, all Chive could get out was, "Puc--" before several shots of gunfire once again played a ringing down the hallway...the echoing noise...coming from Eva's room.

Puc looked at Chive, who called out his name, but in an instance, a terrible noise ringed through Puc's head, a sound that changed Puc's emotion quick, "What was that?" Puc asked, the sound came down the hall......just what happened, was there another attacker, teaming up with the one who was easily caught.....Puc was thinking too much into this, he had to know.....is Eva safe....?

SPiTE rushed past the trees, the fountain, and up the stairs, to find his target, Vaye, cradling his persona in her diabolical, controlling hands. SPiTE dove down like a hawk after its prey, he wouldn't lose, he wouldn't give up, that witch has her days numbered, SPiTE will not give up. Vaye threw the persona up in the air, surrounding trees caught SPiTE from distance, she was able to see him through a third eyes. SPiTE flew up, the persona in the air, it was almost his, to reclaim, and defeat this witch, just like Reala..... SPiTE grabbed the persona, letting out a surprising scream, as he quickly took his grip away from it, a stabbing pain in his hands, she plated something on it.......it was trap.....curses.....SPiTE watched painfully as his persona fell to the ground, a carnivorous plant, with a sharp grinning mouth, rapidly summoned by Vaye, shatter the persona, with one bite.

Chive's heart plunged deep into his stomach as the end of the shots finsihed their dying echo, his only thought, his only wish...is that Exo didn't go and do what Chive thinks he did..
Breaking away from the doorway, Chive hurried himself down to the source of the noise, his eldest siblings room...but rounding the corner..Chive found not his chains wrapped around Eva's door...only broken metal lying in a heap...round, almost circular dents imbedded into the mishapened metalic mess.
...Exo must have shot the barricade off the door...that best be the only thing he used that gun for, thogugh.
Chive hurried to the doorway and peered around the frame, eyeing his brother that drifted away, carying a limp Eva to her bed, broken shackle too hanging from her foot, and after setting her down on her bed..he gripped her collar with a firm hand, and began to shake her, calling out her name again and again as the limp head rolled back and forth with each pull. "Eva......Eva..." Exo continuously called out flatly, keeping his method up until she would wake...and after hearing a groan escape from sleeping beast...she was ready to be asked.
"Eva." Exo called out with authority, staring into his sister's face as it stretched a yawn out before letting its eyes open to blink the water away. "...What do you want...?" Eva responded with a frown, head throbing for reasons unknown to her, along with the fact of how she got in bed again.
"...I know, Eva." Exo replied with no emotion, staring into his sister's confused eyes. "....You fell for Piglet...didn't you..?"
Eva stared at Exo with unblinking eyes, pupils thinning to slits, only giving a light, "...Who is Piglet? ...I adore no one of that name."
"Piglet....that Piglet down the hallway..!!" Exo boasted quickly, stare forming into glare, hating this dumb game she's trying to start, "..You're in love with him...how long, Eva?!"
Eva stared up into her brother's face, telling easily by his fast breathing and rising voice that he wasn't angry by this...he wasn't insulted...he was terrified.....Exo was terrified, his older sibling being stolen away...a puppet for the one who holds her in his hands.
