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

Vaye blushed brighter, noticing Chive stare at her with 'awe' look, he truly was caught by this tension. She didn't want the others in their group to see this outfit snap apart, the embarrassment would be too much. "Oh Chive...?" She called out to him, surely he could be trusted to get her out of here, and give her enough time to repair it.."I think I need a new outfit....soon as possible..."

Puc accepted the kiss, but the words to come before rang in his head. "Done tonight?" Puc was puzzled, did they beat Bomamba and Exo? Was the war finally over? This had to be it, the end, the war would finally end and Puc and Eva can go back living their peaceful and romantic life.

"...Of-...Of course..." Chive blabbed as he nodded his head repeatedly in agrement, eyes shooting back down and up once again by themselves...he has to get her out of here first.....carefully..
"...Eva-..." Chive called out to his sister, who was too busy wrapped up in her kiss to hear, "....I-..I will be back in a minute!"
With his departure thrown out there, Chive carefully lifted high in to the air, and gradually took off for the trees just out of sight of the others...unsure if Vaye's cuit was still stbale enough to even withstand a normal flight...but even if it is still strong enough for a little more movement...will Vaye be able to fix her issue herself, or...is he going to have to?
...Chive gulped at the thought.

Eva felt complete once again as she pulled back gently from Puc, caressing his cheek in her hand again, feeling the old feel of his maskless and handsome face, the feeling of Puc back again..not the paranoid contestant that had shared his voice. "..I guess we'll have to postpone that celebration now.." Eva murmered jokingly, wiping her face dry on her coat as a calming smile came over her face, "..but you hall always be number one in my eyes, sweetheart."
The only other obsticals still in the way were Bomamba and Exo...Chive would most likely gladly give them his persona, which only left orange and yellow to worry about..
...Maybe she could work Exo around to at least help her clear out Bomamba before fighting him...he might go for that, have an uninteruppted battle.....but little to Eva's awarness, orange was already plotting out his move....watching his sibling as she held Puc in such love-sticken eyes.....it would have to be done...soon enough......it was part of his deal.

Lei-Lei could not believe it, purity had lost his chance for the ideya. A surprise to know this, only four remained in the war, with three of them being siblings. A truly wicked plan to see this war play out, having brought Hope and Vigilance into war. Even Growth was added in as a substitute....meaning the only true competitor left in this war...was intelligence.

Vaye followed Chive, happily to accept his help with this wardrobe malfunction. Perhaps she also wanted something more, as she used her fingers to pluck the remaining threads on her body suit. The body suit slid off like running water. quickly catch the cloth in her hand, she surprised Chive with hug from behind, whispering, "too late..."

Puc tried to stand up, pain traveled through his veins but he manged to keep his balance. He wanted this war to be over, but if there was nothing left they could d-
A sound caught his attention, the Dream Gate echoed with a howl. "Something.....is at....the Dream Gate." Puc barely responded, realizing his voice took some damage, just like the rest of his body.

Chive didn't know what it could have been...all he heard was the quick sound of folding cloth dropping down...but, it wasn't anything on him that had made the noise....so the only thing it could of been was.....Vaye..oh, oh please...don't let it have been Vay-..!!
..But Chive's thoughts were instantly cut off as two arms wrapped around his front, Vaye's voice following the sudden motion right along with it...and some strange and odd thing he's never felt before..on his back..
"....It...It fell..did it?" Chive asked in an unsteady voice, tone shooting from hardly audible to almost shouting as his body began to tremble, "...I...I..sorry to hear that...!"
...Just don't turn around, just don't turn around. That's all that was going across Chive's mind: just don't turn around....just don't turn around!!!
Without much left that Chive could figure out to do at this point, he gradually brought his trembeling hands up, lightly taking Vaye's arms in his grasp as he gently pulled them away and let them slide out of his grip, before bringing the knocking knuckles back to the belt across his chest that supported his brush...and unbuckling it.
No two seconds after the harnessed brush and its holder hit the ground, Chive hurridly unbuttoned his jacket, passing it back to Vaye with head frimly turned away, and arm shaking like jello..uttering a shakey, "..H-..Here-..!" before bowing his head low, dizziness coming straight back....just don't turn around...!

Vaye could see through Chive's actions, he was more embarrassed about this situation then she was. When its just the two of them, she didn't feel as worried...in fact....she felt..open..looking down at Chive's offered jacket, all Vaye could do was giggle, "Chive...please look at me.." Vaye didn't want to be embarrassed by this, or even to have Chive act so worried. She wanted Chive to see her for who she was, to finally have someone she cared for....see her true identity....just a fragile nightmaren....who wanted to be more than just a threat....

Chive....did Chive..hear that right..?
Vaye...Vaye actually wants Chive to turn around and look at her? Chive couldn't believe what he heard....turn around and look at Vaye..the way she is now....does he...does he even have the strength in him to? To do such a thing....can never be undone...but..Vaye seemed like she wanted him to...actually, truely wanted him to...and therefore..therefore....therefore.....
Chive let his extended arm come down but the harsh and shaking grip of his jacket didn't ease in the least, knuckles pushing their limits from the strain as Chive let his bowed head come back up. "..o-..okay........I will..Vaye.." Chive replied softly, eyes shut tightly as his body somehow worked its way around towards Vaye, grip of his jacket strong as ever, "...If it is what you want.........okay."
Chive gave a slient gulp as his head drooped back down, the unsteady eyes peaking their way open through the curtains that had held them shut as Chive viewed Vaye's feet.
If it's what she wants, he will do it for her...if it makes her happier..he will do it for her...as Chive lifted his head up, eyes open to Vaye, the jacket that had once been held in the grip of no return slipping gracefully through his fingers to the ground as he looked at what was before him with a pair of two bright cheeks...before the world became a blur, gravity suddenly much, much heavier on him, and Chive tilted to the side, crashing limply on the grass below with eyes shut...once more.
She was the mos-...beauti..ful..Chive....ever...seen..

Eva's heart ached listening to Puc's damaged voice, the magnificent sound drowned in raspy whispers, its speaker..barely even able to get himself upright by himself. "My guess is that it would be that cat beast still, but...howling...that isn't really the norm for cats...is it..."
...Whatever it is that made that haunting noise...Puc was in no condition to go and face it, that was a painfully obvious fact...but..Puc has a strong will, an unbreakable spirit...would this state be enough to convince him to just leave the beast be...?
...He needs rest, after everything he must have gone through in her absence...his war is all finished...he's been freed..

Vaye had finally received the acceptance she always hoped to have on her own, to be viewed for what she truly is. Puc and Eva may have depicted her as a monster, but of course Chive didn't see her the same way. The lovestruck Chive had finally looked at his bare lover, and to Vaye's surprise, he dropped to the ground, the exposure of a stripped nightmaren easily caused him to faint...how upsetting. Even with Chive's adorable smile across his motionless face....Vaye still felt unsatisfied. Using her time wisely, before the others come find them, she had have to work on a new outfit. Perhaps one that didn't break so easily.

Puc's most vivid quality, his voice, had become his weakest moment now. He didn't want Eva to go and fight this beast at the Dream Gate alone....but what can Puc do in his state? Without his voice, his only other useful skill would be flight....however, after what he's body has been through, it would be foolish to take to the sky with these wounds. Eva wouldn't be alone exactly....if Chive and Vaye were still willing to fight.....with....her....alas, Puc's determined spirit, silenced by fatigue. Puc dosed to sleep...he needed to regain his strength....his time in the war was done...

Exo hoped off his branch with a leasurely lean forward, desending down through the trees and theirs leaves with an almost bored expression, traveling down towards his sister on the ground, cradiling once again the unresponsive body of her only care in the world...Puc.
With a place of his hands oh his sides, Exo gave a shake of the head, floating a few inches behind his unaware sibling as she brushed off bits of foliage and brush from her love's badly shreded suit the sight..almost pitiful to view....almost..
"...I'll take him out of here." Exo stated casually as he drifted around his sibling, grabbing Puc as he lifted him up over his shoulder, "You go ahead and get to that witch..she's the only one left you have to beat, right?"
"..Exo.." Eva mumbled, stare at her brother's actions a suprised one..if not confused one..but...what does he mean Bomamaba is the last....does that mean...he isn't going to fight them again?
"...Go on, now. I'll send Chive your way after I put your precious little Pigl-...Puc, to bed."
Without much second thought Exo lazily began to drfit off back into the woods, resting Puc draped over his shoulder as he dissapeared into the dim lighting...as Eva could only stare after him..just for a second more...before hurrying off towards the gate.

Vaye had to think quick, the longer she stayed unclothed, the sooner others might find them as they wait like sitting ducks....Vaye didn't want to be seen by others...as this...Vaye could try to stitch the musky brown cloth into a cover of some sort....but she really disliked that color. She could also try and use the trees to form clothes like the ones she had been gift upon her birth. But a devious idea came to mind, feeling as though....other personas could give her a variety of clothes to choose. With that in mind, Vaye stared at Chive's persona....he didn't want to participate in the war...Chive had no wish....and with Vaye's greedy hands slowly moving to Chive's face....there were still desires she wanted in completion.

With a silent shift of air a portal opened up to a white-walled room, the quarters barely containing a thing other than a bed and a door; coming through that portal, Exo, and the pumbled Puc.
With a casual glide over to the bed of this fainted Nightmaren Exo carefully lied Puc down, eyes studying over the many assorted scrapes and tears of his suit as Puc now lied peacefully back on his own bed.
It made Exo wonder....just what it is about Puc, that Eva seems so attached to...so intertwined to...so in love with....all Exo saw was a Nightmaren, just as any other by appearance, but yet-...Eva can see this boy as something more than just that...it made Exo wonder..
"..You best get better.." Exo mumbled to Puc, staring down at him with non present eyebrow raised, "...I don't want to have to see my sibling sit around in wait for you after she gets her wish...her days here are limited, right?"
Exo looked at Puc's neutral face for a long while, staring with non-present brow raised for the longest time as he thought to himself intently...before uttering a faint chuckle, and unclipping Eva's brooch from Puc's collar.
"...You best get better." Exo stated again, turning away as he tossed the brooch up and down in his hand, before departing back through his portal...the brooch dissapearing into his sleeve.
...Best get Chive on his way next...hag probably won't last long by herself like this.

"Sorry Chive...." Vaye spoke softly to her loved one, as she lifted the blue persona away from his face, revealing the hidden expression Vaye had adored, peacefulness. "if you won't fight..." Vaye said sternly as she applied the persona of intelligence, feeling a sense of power once again, "then I will." With yet another powered persona, she decorated her pale skin in different uniform; A blue battle plate torso with matching blue trousers, metal boots and gauntlets, and vivid blue cape. The persona had granted her a uniform similar to that of a knight. "Stay put, I'll be back soon" Giving the unconscious Chive a kiss on the forehead, Vaye made her way out of the forest, ready to take down the remaining competitors, on Chive's behalf.

Eva crept along the branches of one of the surrounding trees of the gate, the sight of the beautiful fountain placed in its center not even enough to catch her attention...compared to the massive beast that had bellowed the mostorus noise from before....now revealed to be...Cer-.....Cer..ber.....Cerberus..
...Eva couldn't believe it..all this time, that cat monster had actually been.....she had actually been standing on the back of....Eva couldn't believe it!! If she had know it was Cerberous there is no chance she would have performed such action....this mad old thing eats anything that moves, let alone pulls an attack out on it..! How is she to get rid of Cerberus........it's Cerberus!!
...She could only picture the reaction Puc would have to this...as Eva squatted down, about to take off..but a grab of her arm stopped her dead in her movement, leaving Eva to turn in confusion to a pair of two blue eyes, with one raised with a non-present brow.
"...Do you know what that is out there??" Exo asked feverishly, not believeing how stupid his supposedly intelligent sibling is being, "That thing will eat you before you even gain any air, you dunderhead!"
"..I thought you were getting Chive!" Eva replied sternly, noticing the absence of her glulible adorabe puppet sibling. Heaving a strained sigh, as her sibing meerly replied, "..Couldn't find him."

Cerberus searched around the Dream Gate fountain recklessly, each of the head shad found a scent to follow...there were creatures here...but where? The left sphere caught the scent of felines and potions. The center sphere caught a whiff of flowers and tree bark. While the third head, the right sphere, found the scent of vengeance, lingering in the woods. each of Cerberus heads had a lead they wanted to follow, but all stayed stationary unless one target was agreed in unison.

Eva wasn't happy at all about this. Taking on the single beast that can strike paranoia into almost any heart with three less men than she had hoped..not knowing at all where Miss Bomamaba had stashed herself away, still prolonging the war with her participation...and to not know of her sweet little sibling's location only made it ten times as worse..! All of these things....can they really, surely step out and fight this obsitcle without all these things resolved??
"...Well...we'll have to do something..." Exo started up casually, watching as one of the heads drifted over nearby, their scent hidden by the many fragrent scents from the tree they resided in...for now..., "..Now would be a nice time for your plan, Eva.."
Eva stared hard at the noses sucking plants to and fro as the powerful gust pulled and pushed them around, almost like a dance of sorts...a dance conducted by a eat all and anything beast, but...a dance still.......there's not much to do with just two heads against an easy set of three, but...Eva just can't...Eva just can't let Puc's wounds go to waste...his fight will mean something in the end....they will win this fight...end all the bloodshed with their own hands...and start a new life together...with their own hands...
"...I should tell you now, that I have no plan." Eva stated without hesitance, turning to her brother, unsuprised look in his calm eyes..it was easy to see the clueness in his own mind through them, "..but..before we go out..I only have one more question.." Eva bit her lip and looked away briefly..before turning back, eyes sincere, "...Is Puc...okay..?"
"Puc will be here when you get back." Exo stated with a small roll of the eyes, leaning his weight forward as he grasped Eva's shoulder, continuing the rest as a lie..to keep her mind on track, "...Silly thing said to tell you he's fine, despite all his scattered tears and rips and whatnot...boy doesn't know what he's talking about."
..Doing that..perhaps if she at least had something to believe in, it would get her to fight the way the old Eva fought...but only time can show such changes.. and bring about them. Taking her arm in his grasp, Exo broke through the top of the leaves into the sky, draging his smiling sibling under his arm...she'll do her best, Puc..she'll fight as hard as you fought!

Puc experienced another dream passing through him, troubling his sleep once again. This time, a "what if" story played its part...as Puc watched no intent to look away....it was like a vision...of what could be... Growth, Intelligence, Vigilance, and Hope remained as the final four in this war, each having a wish they want to fulfill with the infinity ideya. Chive had no wish...he only wished for his siblings to win, and with the reason to fight..he was unlikely to be the victor. Eva shared Puc's wish..she wanted a perfect nightopia, for them to spend time in harmony at. Puc was touched, even after sacrificing himself....his wish might be granted. But with Exo and Bomamaba still in the war....their dark desires continue to have them fight...each wishing for dis-balance to occur. Puc wanted to know, what these two wish to receive from the infinity ideya. Exo wishes...for....for....no....he wouldn't....his wish...his wish....to disband Puc and Eva?!? That persistent nightmaren... still plans to protect his sibling from Puc.....he can't win...he just can't. Bomamba's wish on the other hand...a massive cat army....enough....enough to over throw Wizeman from the throne? Puc despised Wizeman, but enough to have him over thrown by cats. Puc opened his eyes, startled by those visions, to find himself back in..... his room?

Vaye watched curiously at Cerberus, the center head staring towards her. To think that giant cat was just a disguise for a three-headed dog. It would be impossible to fight that thing head on, each of those heads bear teach that could tear a creature to shreds. But perhaps...if she distracted this creature like she did before...the others will come fight it....the only problem was....Chive and Puc are both knocked out...meaning the only one to help her fight....was Eva. They couldn't just let this dog roam around either..it was blocking the pathway to the infinity ideya.

Exo continued to pull the two of them high up into the air as he left Eva to formulate some form of plan for them...something that could be pulled off with just two nightmaren, over the planned, four, plus one.....puled off with Exo, of all people..
"...Exo-..!" Eva called out to her sibling, reciving a turn of the head from him as he stopped their flight upward, "...Now, I know I do not have to tell you that we are little match for something like Cerberus...so if we can't stop it ourselves.." Eva began, unable to stop from throwing a look back down to the still searching dog below them, a smirk coming across her face as she watched it, "...then we send it away...!"
..Exo understood what Eva ment now...send the dog back to its cage..one of the only known things that can even house this eat-all dog....but in order to do that....
"..You know neither one of us are fast enough to trace a whole paraloop around that thing before it catches us-" Exo replied flatly, staring down at the dog..three heads, one actually part of the chain that held the being all together, "-You're faster than me,Evam but even then..you're no shooting rocket."
"..I know that-" Eva responded quickly, unconvinced eyes darting back down to their target before shooting back to Exo, "...That's why we're making one together.."
"Make one together??" Exo blurted in disbelif, "If I'm not distracting the thing we'll both die even faster!"
"....And that's one reason I was hoping you would bring Chive.." Eva snorted, throwing Exo's failure back into his face, "..We need something as a distraction..that anyone can see....but with Puc down, Chive missing and that monstrosity out wherever she's wandered herself to.......I've got nothing..."
They needed something...anything..a distraction to caputre and hold Cerberus's attention long enough to where they can get a loop around it and send it back to its lair..without something to hold it from them...Eva might not make it back home to see Puc..ever again..

Puc looked around his blank room...unsure if they were all home...or if it was just him. Quickly opening the door to his room, an echo sounding through the hallway...a sure way to tell Puc was alone in Eva's home. Puc could only assume that Eva, her siblings, and Vaye were still at the Dream Gate....still going forth....to end this war....however...Puc felt in his heart...he couldn't just sit and wait for them to come home...he had to go ba-
A pain pulsed through his body, a reminder of why he was brought back in the first place....curses....

Vaye had no other choice, if Eva was the only ally left, so be it. Perhaps, not only could she provide distraction, but be able to fight Cerberus as well. Risky..but worth it. Her cactus needles wouldn't be able to shoot far enough to hit Cerberus. So what else might work? Maybe.....Maybe....fruit? Fruit...?
Guess if all other options failed....throwing an apple at Cerberus is bound to get its attention. placing her hand on the tree, she forced the tree to sprout red apples off the stems. Plucking one of these red orbs, she aimed the apple at Cerberus' center head, and threw the apple with full force, as it darted from the forest green, right at its target.

Exo was just as stumpted as his sibling on what they could use as a distraction against such a mighty creature, with only the two of them acting on it. It was obvious that they both will be needed to create such a wide paraloop fast enough, but if both of them are out focusing on that, they will be completely exposed.....ugh, Chive....where did that gril drag you off to?
"...Got anything?" Exo asked with a fold of his arms, heaving a small sigh as Eva only gave a fustrated shake of her head 'no'. "...Guess we'll just have to take out chance-...chan-....Eva...look at this.."
Eva looked to where Exo's gaze had drifted to, now seeing some apple tree at the gat-....apple tree?
An apple tree? Where in the world did that tree get apples from??
Eva and Exo could only stare, matching expressions of non present eyebrow raised...all the way up..as out from the forest, somewhere...one of the apples got chucked into the air, straight for the middle head......their distraction has been given.

Cerberus caught the apple as it was being thrown to the center head, devouring the apple in one bite. Vaye wasn't too surprised...the three head dog had good sight. However, she wasn't prepared for the the three heads to agree in unison and charge at the tree she had altered. With little time to spare, she had to get out of this dog's destructive path...before she gets crushed into the ground. placing her hand on the trunk again, Vaye caused the apples to fall and scatter onto the Dream Gate's path before making a rush through the forest, towards the platform. Cerberus charged at full force, coming quickly to stop to view the several apples on the ground, then each head began to fight over the apples, each sharing the same appetite

"Apples...eh?" Bomamba pondered at how one tree became different from the rest. Must be that nightmaren who controls plants. How upsetting to her doll roam free with strings snipped her soul vibrant. No matter, it will be simple enough to gain control of her again...but where is she heading? She would be smart not to travel out into open space where Cerberus lingers.....so where?

Puc couldn't force himself back to battlefield... no point fighting if he doesn't have the strength to do so. Laying back down on his bed, he stared up at the ceiling...the blank room reminded him how impatient he was....unstinting to just sit and wait for something to happen.....mybe...this empty room....could use some color...

"Exo..now-!" Eva ordered immidiately as the three headed dog bussied itself with the apples scattered about the ground, "Don't think, just move!!"
With that, Eva and Exo both shot down as fast as they could carry themselves, dashing down from their high observing and safe post...to right by the beat's knees, snarling and flying slobber drowing every sound of their flying out. With a point from his sister, Exo was signaled to start his end at the back, leaving the faster of the two to take to the front legs...the legs nearest to the heads chomping at the ground...she thinks she being a hero....he can absolutely see it.
Eva watched as Exo threw a nod to her before breaking off to the right, a dark red and gray trail following every weave and turn he traced with it, as Eva herself met with the starting point her own trail of yellow and green, before shooting off to the left...towards the snarling and slobber's source.
Pulling sharply around the left leg of the first hound, Eva dived and swerved around the moving jaws, coming up towards the break inbetween the dogs, the open area underneath the middle head.
Breathing quickened and pulse rocketing, Eva dashed out from under the first hound, flying right beneath the lowered hovering golden head as she bolted to head under the next one, Exo steadily matching her progress from behind the hound's back legs.
Flying around the last set of legs, all Eva could think about was Puc, getting back to Puc, winning the right to this wish at the end of all this fighting and madness and seeing the elated eyes of the one she loves..all Eva wanted was to be sitting right next to him right now...but instead of a happy and sweet beating of her heart, nothing but warm fowing from head to toe..the pounding was harsh, cold, fearful and stiff...not like Puc's presence at all....the pure opposite...it must be rid of..
Eva bolted past the last of the front legs, racing down the right side as Exo game shooting up towards her, two sparkiling trails of diffrent hues elegantly floating behind them as the two rushed to meet at a single point...and at the last moment..the two swerved away from each other, one curving left, the other right, flying straight into the other's trail.....and the vortex to Cerberus's cage was opened.

Cerberus didn't notice till it was too late, after munching down on the scattered apples on the ground, Cerberus was being pulled back to the nightmare it belongs to. Struggling and howling to escape was useless, as Cerberus joined its nightmare once more, and the portal shut.

Bomamaba was furious, her plan ruined by her own servant, her fighter taking her place as Growth, Eva. How dare she go against Bomamaba....but it soon come down to this. After all, only one persona will survive to the end...might as well be the one Bomamba holds. Emerging from the forest, she would have to go the offense, both Growth and Vigilance were there at her convenience, might as well take the chance to knock them both ou-
WHAP!! A sudden knock on the head caught Bomamba by surprised, a crack appeared on the side of her persona. Looking down at the weapon thrown....it was a red apple...Bomamba knew the attacker behind this assault...Vaye was on the attack.

Lei-Lei continued to watch this war play out, enjoying the dramatic changes taking place all over the dream gate area. Puc's removal from the war, Cerberus taken back to his nightmare, and all four competitors now in the same area, this will truly be a fight to remember.

"Thank....thank goodness.." Eva panted out in relief, heart still racing after coming so close to certain termination, "..Thank goodness..they're gone...oh, my heart doesn't need this right now..."
"..Playing the hero getting to you, is it?" Exo questioned with yet another of his raised brows," staring at his sibling as she turned to him in confusion.
"..What do you mean?" Eva snorted, unure what insult Exo was trying to throw at her...but to her surprise..Exo meerly just shrugged it off...not at all prolonging his statement in order to bash her like usual..that had...he actually had ment something by that? ...What?
Exo scratched his cheek with a finger as he looked lazily around, noticing for the first time in a while how boring this gate is without some rampant creature lose through it...but something off in the distance caught up Exo's attention again, giving him something to listen in to, as his sibling meerly stared at him with baffled eyes.
"...Did you hear something?" Exo asked openly, still listening to hear if he can get that sound again..some kind of thump out in the nearby trees.
"You must be delusional," Eva replied as she gave a snooty expression, "I haven't heard a thing."
"..Stop talking for ten seconds and you just might-!" Exo retorted hotly, still listening for that sound again.....Chive..? ...Is that you..?

Elevating herself on the stairs to the platform, Vaye throw another apple at Bomamba with all her might, alas, it missed by a few feet...and still got Bomamba's attention. Bomamba swooped in on her attacker, gliding towards the stairs at an enemy dress in blue. This nightmaren bared intelligence, this must be the other sibling to Eva, Chive....but...the power over plants....is Vaye's...So, Vaye decided to take another persona... No problem, Bomamba planned to make quick work of her, she will have her doll back soon enough.

A low moan echoed out from Chive's mouth as he found his way back into the world, head giving him pain...with little reason to Chive on why. ...Where was he.....and..where did Vaye go..? He remembered....he can remember seeing her...but..that doesn't explain why he's been sleeping like this, why his clothing is scattered about here and there, jacket in a pile nearby, brush and its belt not too far from that....it really confused Chive...but as he sat himself up, rubbing his eye gently with his hand....Chive felt it. Or more correctly....didn't, feel it.
His mask isn't on his face anymore...well, how funny is that. Hmmm..where could that bothersome litte thing have gone t-.....w-...wait.....no mask....no Vaye...no mask...no..Vaye....
Chive's lax eyes shot all the way open, mouth slowly slipping open as stutters of failed attempts at screaming out jumbled around in his throat.
Vaye's....Vaye's taken his mask!!
If Vaye has his mask Chive can't give it to Eva and if Eva can't get the mask than the war can't end and Eva and Puc can't get their wish and if Vaye has it she might fight somebody to take a shot at her wish but if she does choose to take such an action then somebody's gonna hurt somebody and it'll all be Chive's fault because he saw a real lady!!
Chive's heart was going a mile a minute as he flung himself to his feet, scooping up his jacket as he pulled it hastily on..first on backwards...then somehow inisde-out...before getting it on with buttons crooked, before taking his brush and scurrying off, strapping the belt to his chest as he took to the air in direction of the Gate.
He has..he has to do something..! It's all his fault Vaye fell to temptation again!!

Puc looked up at his mental creation, the blank space formally known as Puc's room was now a spectacle of color and Puc's spirit. The room now looked like Puc's wish of a new world for Eva and Puc to enjoy. A blue sky as the ceiling bleeding into the the cornering walls fading into a grassy green color. A sky and field of grass with the wind blowing so gently.....it's all Puc wanted......

Bomamba made her move dashing up the stairs at Vaye. Vaye had to time her next attack with precession, she wanted to knock out Bomamba in the fewest attacks possible. She had to keep her strength up...focus on the prize...with that in mind, she summon from her hands two rose vines, flower and thorns both sharp and jagged. holding each vine by the stem near the floor itself, she took her battle stance with these "swords" waiting for her chance...as Bomamba reach the step she was on-
That yellow thread came towards her again. Stepping out of the way, Vaye didn't notice that Bomamba's other hand was anticipating her reaction, grabbing Vaye and holding a grip....Vaye was trapped.
