Spencer

Spencer smiled when Kirbs shook his hand, but quickly was pulled away, his attention that is, to see two more players, one of which Kirbs knew. Okay I guess more friend time? Sounds fine I suppose. Spencer stepped forward a few paces and looked at Kat, mentioned by Kirbs at her outburst, and another man who was on the ground after falling. At least I'm not the only clutz that is around here. He thought for a moment, smiling at it. He walked towards the woman and man, waving, giving a soft smile at them. "Hi, you okay dude? And Hi, I'm guessing you're Kat by Kirbs outburst? I'm Spencer" He asked and cocked his head with a small smile, laughing softly and the strangeness that occurred from just playing with Noot.

Speaking of Noot, he crawled out of the tree and made his way to his owner, sitting by the man who was on the ground, booping his nose slightly. "Noot!" It cooed happily and waddled around the fallen man a little bit, squeaking and waddling more, happy to meet more people. It then walked over to Kirbs and waved at her, speaking softly and cocking its head, looking up at her.

@Kirbs @Kataware @Huginn

"Oh sweet, innocent woman. How does it feel to see the woman you once loved, carve into someone who cares about you.... Love is a painful thing, you should have known better." The creature chuckled darkly, its eyes a crimson red. The creature looks away from Jevi, and sees Hestia in the main room, a look of disgust crosses her face. "That harmful b***h, she is messing up all of my plans.." The creature spit in her direction, but obviously it did not hit Hestia. Her attention switched to Teion and Ryo, gasping in rage, the two of them might ruin her plans in getting Jevi. "The slave trader?! And the [censored]!? How DARE THEY!" Another scream crosses the house, but almost pushes Teion and Ryo back into the attic with such force, the creature is not pleased.

Spencer ran forward at a speed he did not know that he had within him. He dashed through the paths, cursing at every dead end, and desperately trying to find his way through this never ending hedge maze.... but everything seemed the same. Spencer cocked his head in confusion, looking at the maze, and it seemed to just repeat itself again and again. "What the hell... I haven't even left the spot that I was at. How do I.." He thought out loud for a moment, then started to back up. taking each step backward, until he ran into something, or someone. "Aww... You've come back for me?" Ryo gave with a sadistic and grabbed Spencer by the throat, lifting him up off the ground.

@Hestia

Kuro perked up at the sound of its owner's voice, and dashed forward, desperately looking for her. Kuro ran around for a while, but ducked down around a corner and saw Hestia at the first floor, near the statue. The statue started to creak and moan, before coming active again, setting its sights on Hestia. It reared up for a swing, causing Kuro to growl in hatred, leaping from where it was on the second floor, to tackle Hestia, sliding along the floor, and barely out of reach of the statue. It swung down hard and cracked the floor of the mansion right in front of Hestia's feet, but that was as far as it could reach.

@Jevi

Opal giggled a bit looking at the dead body of Spencer on the floor. She spit on it in disgust and stepped over it, staring directly at Jevi. "OH my sweet, it has been so long... And to think, you wear a necklace of Opal just to keep me by your heart." She said, referring to the necklace that Spencer gave her at the Christmas party last year. She smiled wickedly, but nervously looked up at the mansion, when a screech echoed through it, "I think we will have such a good time together-" A scream in the maze cuts her off, sounding like Spencer, faintly, calling out for Jevi. The fake Opal growled and ran forward, grabbing Jevi by the throat. "Play times over, you get to die by my hand, but lets face it." She leans in. "It is about time you were taken out, you wont even get a single tear."

@Ryo and @Teion

A loud screech is heard from inside the room that Ryo is guarding, pounding on the door frame, it sounding in complete hatred an rage. "LET ME OUT!" It screamed and pounded harder, the wood groaning, then a soft crack could be heard. Chuckling, the creature hit again, a small splinter again. "Ooooh Ryo. This door wont hold for long." It, sounding like Teion, cooed through the door, pounding on it again, a small crack could be seen from the outside. "Let me out and I wont let her feel a thing as I gut her." It giggled and pounded again, one of the hinges cracking but not breaking. Outside, Teion could feel the push of the scream, almost throwing her back into the mansion. Out on the attic, Jevi was slowly being stocked by Opal, with Spencer on the ground, but in the distance, Spencer and Ryo could be scene, doing something.

Spencer was blissfully happy at this point. After his first, and very unsuccessful attempt at something romantic with someone in this game, it seemed to be that he might actually be meeting someone that was worth his time and energy, and thought of him in at least somewhat similar lights. "Don't you worry Arsenal, I will wait to help you out. I'm genuinely having a good time so far, so a little traveling and monster killing wont be wrecking my mood any time soon." He shrugged after that statement and gave a small smile to him. "I've done this quest line before, it was my least favorite quest line as well, but I'm willing to assist a cute and decent man, as long as dinner is always apart of the future." He smiled and blushed a tiny bit at the end comment of there being dinner. Well this is more than I bargained for, but I will definitely take this sudden date. I hope I have some game when it comes to dates, I've only been on a date with one person, and I know how that turned out.

@Arsenal

Spencer blushed and smiled a bit when Arsenal mentioned that he liked hearing about him, that being something no one really told him before. Before he could say something, A couple things happened, Arsenal started to doubt the idea of the two of them going out to dinner, him mentioning that he would indeed listen to any stories that he had Good, I have a whole lot of them. And then a man ran into Arsenal, being one of the rudest human beings that he met in this game. Spencer bit his tongue for a moment, wondering if he should say something. But after Arsenal went ahead into the store, Spencer walked towards the man. He seemed much lower level than Spencer was, so he was no threat. "Hey jack ass." The man turned confused. "Yeah you, don't you ever talk to people that way again. You are a low level wimp who doesn't have the balls to make a name for themselves and work on getting better. You are no better than the rest of you lot that sit here hoping one day that by chance we escape. So shut your mouth and keep moving." He finished the statement off with a jab to the chest with his mace, looking rather pissed.

After that, Spencer sighed and walked back to the shop, looking at Arsenal. "Where's my hot date... Oh wait! There he is." Spencer smiled and walked towards Arsenal, standing close to him. "There better be good food around here, the food is meh to me, but I think your company will make it better."

@Arsenal

He listened to the man talk about himself, and he smiled as he talked. See, this is the kind of stuff I wanted to hear, all this stuff about him is nice to hear! Hope it continues. He smiled a bit as he listened to the man finish, and also mentioned kendo, and Spencer nodded approvingly. "Kendo? Really that's awe-" The flirt struck him and he blushed and looked at the ground. "N-No one has ever asked me out to dinner before, I would love for you to be the first one to take me." He smiled and blushed a bit, looking back at the man. "O-okay lets turn these in and get going, I'm turning into a tomato out here." He laughed and ran a hand through his hair. Wait [censored] I should probably talk about myself a bit more than I have. "So I uh have poly-amorous parents," He paused and face palmed, "Probably not the best way to start the conversation. But yeah, they were. Growing up I had my parents, and a whole bunch of people come in and out of my life that were with my parents, it was a tad weird but it seemed to be okay.... That's weird for me to say right?"

@Arsenal

"Turquoise, Bears, Spaghetti, Fall, and I guess for me, Heavy Metal." He smiled back at him, and watched him slowly smoke his cigar. Arsenal began to say something, but it seemed he didn't actually want to say what he was going to say. Spencer gave the man a confused look and stood up, following the smoking man as the two of them decided to keep looking around. He enjoyed the company of the man, but it seemed like he was holding back something, but he couldn't really tell what it could be. Hope he isn't some sort of psychopath, he seems calm enough.. but it's the ones you least suspect. He thought and laughed softly to himself. "So, Arsenal. What brought you to the land of gaming? It was something I always kind of liked, and my parents were able to help me get SAO, but I have a feeling you have a different story about your interaction with the video game world." He smiled and nudged the man a bit. He asked that and looked down, finding the fifth item. With that he handed it to Arsenal, holding his hand for a split second then letting go.

He blushed and shook his head and walked towards the man that was offering a seat for him. He smiled a bit and walked towards him, sitting down next to him. The man was sitting there, and the man took a moment to look him over, liking the way that he looked. Hmmm, so we know he likes guys, and also that he likes me... it seems. So I don't see any main problems coming my way, maybe I should just keep going the path that I am going and hope for the best at this point ,what could go wrong.He laughed mentally and noticed the man offering him a drag. "No thank you, but thanks for the offer." He smiled at the man and looked around, seeing the scenery around the two. "I forget the first floor can have some pretty things." He looked at Arsenal with that, giving him a cute smile and turned back to the sky line. "So Arsenal, what is your favorite hmmm... color, animal, food, season, and music style?"

Spencer was a bit happy now, knowing that the man accepted his flirt, and actually kind of liked it. Wait... what the hell is happening. I'm meeting a man, who is into dudes, who is into me? What kind of hell... He shook his head and smiled, looking over at Arsenal. The man asked about the second quest, and he was just about to answer too, when the next comment caught him off guard. His face went up in red for a moment before he calmed down, giving a soft smile. "I don't know," He began, walking towards the man, "Will this one be my eye candy during it?" As he said this, he got closer and took the mans hand in his, stroking it gently before dropping it and backing up a bit. "So, after we find this one, we are going right to the next one?" He went into a major mood change, swapping how he was acting from the flirting remarks entirely. It's almost fun to mess with him, but also he is too gosh darn cute to stop myself. "Round two with you, think I can do that." He said that with a wink, biting his lip a bit. Okay too far too far calm the sexual stuff down.

Spencer stood there a bit slack jawed at the sight of Mars absolutely killing the creature with no remorse. "O-Oh, Wow, Umm okay that was quick. And I guess that is the end of the quest... What now? Just head back?" He asked the man, putting his shield and mace away and walking towards Mars. He is a bit off putting, but he would be a great, as long as he doesn't kill me or piss me off too much. He thought to himself with a very soft laugh as he got next to Mars. "I'm assuming you know the way back? If not I can help lead, but I'm not positive in the exact direction that we need to go in order to get back to town, kind of a toss up at this point." It seemed that Spencer got a bit lost during the battle, and couldn't figure out exactly what way he needed to go. Okay, but after we are done with this quest, what do I want to do? I have no the slightest idea, maybe do something with the guild? But what.... Lord I have no idea what to exactly do after this, I don't think Mars is going to want to just 'hang', and I don't know if we would get along to just hang.

Spencer nodded approvingly at the Spear that was held up to him, but the next comment took him off guard, but it was his chance to let his inner flirt show. Okay, Okay, Okay. You got this, You got this. Been waiting a while to let this out. Don't mess this up. Spencer turned to look at Arsenal, and gave him a half smile and a cocked eyebrow? "Oh Yeah? I was thinking just the same about you." He ended the reply with a wink and turned around, hiding his burning red face from Arsenal. Oh god I did it. I DID IT, I PERFORMED A FLIRT! While Spencer was congratulating himself in his head, he didn't really look for any materials. Turning to see Arsenal pick something up and depositing it, almost getting all of the items. "A-awesome, now we need one more, and we start quest number two." He grumbled momentarily in his head at the prospect of going through all of that again, but with a cute guy who also flirts with him? He could push through for it.

Spencer listened to what Mars said, smiling a bit when he mentioned Hestia. "Yeah, Hestia is in my guild, she is a great woman, glad to know her, and she is really strong." He thought about her and smiled, his 'sister' was an amazing woman and he hoped to hang out with her again soon. As they kept going, he started to look around and think about when the battle was going to start, the scenery started to shift, and Spencer knew that they were on. "Listen I have better armor stay behind me-" He frowned and realized that Mars was already running forward, charging the creature. Well that plan is out the window, hope things still work well- He stood there, a little slack jawed, as Mars cut through the creature's health, over half way through it being dead. "Welp, he doesn't need me." He laughed a bit to himself and got his mace ready. As soon as Mars said his confident and prideful remark, he ran forward to strike it. It seemed to be caught off guard by Mars already, so it was rather easy to go into and strike the creature. Unfortunately, Spencer's damage is lacking in all departments, so he barely even saw the health drop, but the creature sure did. Stunned, the creature could barely move, trying to sluggishly crawl towards the players, before falling to the ground for a moment, stopping it from attacking its target, Mars.

He nodded and did agree with the idea of silence being worse than rambling. He's got a point, hope I don't ramble TOO much, considering he is a hot man who is also super chill, would be cool to keep friends with him. He thought to himself for a moment and continued to look for materials, his eyes darting to Arsenal every once in a while. When he mentioned coming to the Game, he thought for a moment, asking himself this type of question before. "Well, all in all. I have come out of my shell, met people, became some what strong, joined a guild, healed emotionally from past stuff, and also met my adorable penguin. So yeah, I think I am happy about it." He blushed a laughed a bit. "Not to gloat I swear, took me forever to get all of these things, hoping they last." He smiled and motioned for Arsenal to talk. "What about you? Anything good or interesting you have found in this game?"

Spencer was minding his own business with Noot, but it seemed that other people really wanted to intrude on his play time with his penguin, but it was fine because Noot is adorable and he deserves the attention he is getting. Spencer turned to see three players approaching. One on the ground, one helping him up, and another woman standing there and watching Spencer and Noot play. He smiled a bit and hopped from the tree, waving at the girl <<Kirbs>>,

"Hi, I see you are admiring my Penguin." He laughed a bit, motioning to Noot. The penguin was climbing up a branch, hanging half on it, but couldn't get on to it, so he was nooting and squeaking in frustration from it. "His name is Noot, he loves climbing trees." He laughed and stopped, turning back to the girl. "Oh, I almost forgot, I'm Spencer." He stuck out his hand for the woman to shake.

As he introduced himself to the woman, he noticed that the other two players, mainly the girl, were talking to each other, with the man seeming like he did not want to be there at all. I feel that, I feel that in my soul. He looked at the two, and Noot noticed the people too, Squeaking and starting to climb down, hopping from one branch to another, but it might take him a bit to get down fully.

Spencer sat there for a moment and listened to the man, his emotions something he felt so, so many times in his life. He nodded in agreeance and walked alongside of him. "I understand what you're feeling, not as direct and intense as you feel right now, but definitely a way that you are feeling. It took my forever to get myself out there and start to meet others, but after I did it started to fade. It is less of getting over it, as being able to manage the feelings in a better way than you usually do." He paused and blushed. "Sorry, I just talk a lot when I'm a tad bit nervous." He paused and blushed brighter. "Y-you're not making me nervous I promise, just me talking about my own emotions." He threw on to the end in a quick fashion, pushing the words out. He looked down at the ground to hide his ever increasing red face, but when he did, a small item appeared on the ground. "Oh, well here you go." He smiled, his face back to a normal peach color. He handed the material  to the man, now 40% of the way done with this quest.

Clarence listened to the man for a moment, and frowned a bit when he mentioned the quest. "OH boy, you're gonna have fun doing these quests. Yeah I'll help you, you're gonna need help for them anyways, they take a very long time to do.... Well not that long, they are just very annoying." He laughed a bit and looked around. "I don't know the best place, but I'm willing to help you look, considering I have literally nothing else to do today than help you." He smiled at the man and left the shop, holding the door open for him as he left. "And yes, I love my penguin so much, his name is Noot." Noot waves to the man, giving him a bit of a salute and running around, exploring a bit. "He kind of likes to explore the town, he'll catch up with us." He smiled at the penguin running around, the smile moving towards Arsenal. "So Arsenal, what brought you to doing these quests today? Bored with nothing else to do? Or finally getting around to doing them?" He asked the man, genuinely curious at what his answer would be. It took me forever to do these quests, mostly because I hated them so much, wonder if he is in the same boat as I was. 

@Arsenal

Spencer walked slowly, not playing attention that much with what he was doing. He was bored out of his mind, and decided that maybe he was going to hang out on the first floor for old times sake, considering it had been a long time before he had been on this floor before. He sighed a bit and began to exit the shop he was in, the contents not that interesting and the shop keep the same one that gave him the beginner quest line, his most hated quest line. But as he was leaving, a body collided with him. He gasped and stumbled back a bit, Noot gasping as well and clinging to Spencer. When he looked at the man, his mind immediately thought. Yep, he is cute. He ignored the thoughts and saw the man quickly get up and apologies for running into him, holing out a hand for him to hold. "O-Oh you're fine don't worry, I wasn't looking where I was going." He shook the hand and smiled at him. "Might as well introduce myself, I'm Spencer, how about you?" He asked, Noot waving at the man, smiling.

@Arsenal

"Noot, Really, I don't think you should go any higher." He looked up at the small artic bird as it tried to climb up another tree branch. It let out a small squeak and fell back, landing on the branch it was on previously. Noot huffed a little annoyed and looked at the top of the tree, squeaking at it in anger. Spencer smiled brightly and laughed, climbing up the tree a bit, helping Noot reach the next branch. It nooted happily and started to climb a bit more, snow falling from the tree as the penguin hopped form branch to branch. "You adorable little bird." He muttered and stroked his feather, causing the penguin to jump into Spencer's arms. He gasped and quickly caught the penguin, almost falling out of the tree. "Noot! Warn me next time okay?" He laughed and slowly climbed down the tree, setting him back down on the lowest branch. "Now please stay a bit lower to the ground, I don't want you dying on me okay?" He said with a small smile, petting the penguin and letting him playing on the tree, kicking and moving the snow, the penguin having the time of its life. He hung back a bit and looked around the scenery, taking in the nice Winter day on the 4th floor.

@Kataware@Kirbs@Huginn@Psychonier

Clarence gripped the dagger and took another step. This man, Ryo, knew way too much about him. He stood his ground and Noot slowly watched was happening, seemingly calm in this entire situation, which was odd for him. Clarence looked down at Noot, but quickly shot his eyes back up when... his name was mention. He almost opened his mouth to say something, his eyes wide and in pain, but the ending part of it caused him to fall to his knees. "D-did you say.. murdered?" He muttered softly, almost inaudible. H-he was killed? Who would... How would they... No.. He felt his recently dried eyes begin to fill back up with tears, he didn't even notice as they started to pour faster and faster. "Lowenthal he... he was killed." He muttered to himself, holding a hand over his heart.

Get yourself together! He screamed in his head, cutting through the racking feelings of sadness around him. He breathed in shakily and stood back up, looking at the man with a pained expression. "Y-you want to know more about this man? You came to the wrong place. That man, that wonderful man would never want me to talk about him, I'm sorry." He quickly wiped his eyes with tears and held Noot, who broke from his arms and ran over to Ryo. "Noot! What the hell." He grumbled and ran after him, quickly scooping him up, now closer to the man. "S-sorry but I can't help you, I regret everything with him, and it seems like you already know so much." He longed to talk to anyone else who knew Lowenthal, to hear about him again, but he knew Lowenthal hated him, even wanted him dead, how could he go around talking about this man.

The Dark Shadow screeched in rage, sending its hand through a window, the entry to the roof now broken open in the attic, Teion and Ryo could hear the noise from where they are sitting. "How dare they... HOW DARE THEY. They hurt my son, they are entering my home, and they are Pissing. Me. OFF!" She screams louder and her wails could be heard clearly echoing down the halls of the mansion. She pants loudly and grits her teeth, looking at the group in the mansion, specifically they three who are out by the hedge maze. "You three will have to do for now, especially you." It chuckles a bit and looks at Jevi.

Spencer woke up with a quick gasp as he sat up from the ground. He looked up to see the fake Ryo no longer on the window sill of the tower, but in fact climbing down the sides of the tower, scaling it faster than he expected. "[censored]." Is all he said as he slowly dragged himself to a standing position, his body was acting a bit funny from jumping from such a high distance. His health had dropped 1/10th of the total amount and he grimaced a bit, hoping those hits do not keep happening. With one final look up at Ryo, who was getting closer and closer, Spencer rushed forward into the maze. Spencer ran and turned a corner to hear a loud echo of a familiar bad ass's voice. "Jevi... JEVI!" He screamed loudly and almost teared up at the thought of finding his friends again. The thought of them being fake crossed his mind, but he quickly forced that out, making his way to what he hoped was to be his salvation.

@Hestia

The creature couldn't get up with Kuro on top of it, it was trapped for the moment. "Get OFF." He squealed, but nothing, Kuro would not back down. The creature slowly started to faze through the walls, almost hurt by this action, like it didn't fully know how to use its own abilities. "Where.... Where are the rest of them." He panted in pain as it disappeared, leaving Kuro to run around, trying to figure out where the creature went, or where Hestia went.
In Hestia's perspective, She watches as Jevi runs forward, a scream from Spencer setting her off as she went off, going to the right. However, as she would try to go forward, the hedge grew over the other section, cutting Jevi and Hestia off from each other for a moment. The vines that were sitting there for a moment slowly started to slither towards Hestia, the vines sliding along the glass on the outside, adding pressure to it, slowly starting to break and crack the glass, a small piece landing next to Hestia, the glass going to give away in, at most, 5 seconds. She would either have to run to the maze, or back inside the mansion.

@Jevi

As Jevi ran into the maze, where she came from disappeared and changed into a different part of the maze, the woman being moved to a completely different section of the maze in almost an instant. A figure ran from her left to in front of her, running down the path, it was Spencer. For some reason he couldn't see or hear her no matter what Jevi tried to do, and Jevi had a front row seat to the carnage that was to take place. The fake Spencer slowly started to walk forward, and as he did, a dark figure slowly approached behind him, but it slowly faded away into a small woman, a woman that was all too recognizable to Jevi, Opal. The fake Opal walked forward and stayed right behind Spencer, her blade drawn, but never touching him, almost taunting him with her inability to see him. She then plunged forward, her blade going right into Spencer's heart, his eyes going wide, and blood dripping from his mouth. "J-Jevi..." He gasped out, trying his best to get help from her, but he was already a goner, his body falling to the floor, his eyes staring at Jevi, cold and unmoving.

@Teion @Ryo

As the couple talked and tried to move past what had just happened, a familiar Noot coming from the next room over, and then a loud sound of scrapping metal and bodies, then it stopped. A long period of silence passed, then the window in the attic broke open, causing another sound of metal and bodies, then it stopped again. The attic was in horrid silence for a while, till a quieter noot came from the room, and a sound of metal and bodies moving was softer and didn't last as long. The two would also hear crawling coming up from the vents, and a pounding coming from the locked room Teion was next to, almost as if two entities were desperately trying to get out.

The Shadow Creature's face slowly turned from a frown, to a sadistic grin. Her servants were doing good work, and it seemed as though their work would be done soon, she could only feed off their misery for so long before it got too boring for her, the same taste in her mouth was too much for her at times. She looked over at Telrenya, one of her prized subjects taunting the blonde, her brother being tortured right in front of her. She giggled a bit and started to watch it more intently, but her eyes slowly drifted over to Jomei, getting bored of Telrenya in the few moments she watched her. Jomei's body was on the floor, sobbing. She laughed, the sound was audible throughout most of the house, she found it almost cute how much he cared, she thought she had someone like that in her life before. She grimaced a bit and pointed at Jomei, she wanted him to suffer more, she couldn't bare to look, or even think of someone who reminded her of her love, or the man she used to think loved her.

@Telrenya
Attached to the needle, was a sickly looking black arm, different than the rest of them, looking partially human. It looked at the woman with a sickening smile and slowly lowered its arms, in fake sorrow. "Oh No! Did I upset you? Did you not get to say goodbye? One moment." It giggled and touched BeatBox, the body slowly moving and coming back to life. He screamed in immense pain and threw his body back and forth on the restraints, his eyes filling up with black blood, pouring out of his eyes, mouth, and nose. He struggled and gurgled more. The shadow/human creature shook its head and stabbed the needle back into his neck, causing his body to die again, this time with black liquid continuously dripping from his body. "So sorry about that dear, thought he would be more talkative, but oh well. How are you?" It asked and slowly walked forward, the rest of its body coming into light. Needles and other surgical blades protruded from its body, looking down at Telrenya. "Sorry you had to come all this way to die, I know its pretty poor timing, especially with what has happened recently. But oh well, you two can get married in hell." It giggled and reach his arm forward, a tentacle of black shot forward and hit the wall next to her head, slowly pulsing out more black ooze. "No need to be afraid, you aren't going anywhere." It smiled, but Willow had other plans. A loud woosh shot forward and went directly at the creature.

@Jomei
A moment passed, and another moment passed. It seemed to have grown semi-silent as of the moment. The lights stayed on where they were, and no sign of what happened returned. A distant *Whoo* Could be heard, followed by maniacal laughter coming almost from no where. The Whoo was accompanied by a flapping of wings, a small owl was flying towards Jomei as fast as it could, The owl, as best as it could, looked sad and concerned for its owner's health. It rested on the floor near Jomei and looked up, pecking softly at his hands, trying to get his attention. It looked up and cocked its head, hoping that Jomei is okay. But before anything else could happen, a large thud was heard from the other side of the landing, followed by some scrapping, and a strange, familiar sound, almost as if Jomei ran into a creature that sounded just like that. A shadow grew out in front of the encroaching sound, and Jomei could only recognize it as the beast that attacked the original four during their first trip into the mansion. "Oh Jomei… I do hope you said your prayers, because the devil should be expecting you very soon." A woman's voice echoed through the halls, and the creature first came into view.

@Ruby
"Really I wont beat you? But it seems I have sweetie, you can't move, your friends will soon be dead, just like the corpses sitting around us, and you will soon be too. Actually, would you like to get to know some of our guests, I know they would love to meet some fresh meat." The fake Jevi smiled and slowly walked towards Ruby, touching each body she past by. The bodies sat still for a moment, but then started to twitch and seize, before slowly sitting up turning to look over at Ruby. "Come on friends, dinner is served, It has been a while since you 5 have eaten hasn't it been huh? Well here is a once in an afterlife opportunity." Jevi giggled, but then shrieked. A strange flame-like creature shot up from where it was previously hiding. It made a weird growling-esque noise and hit Jevi, knocking her to the ground. She gasped and got burned by the thing, which turned its attention to Ruby. It looked happy and bounced on over to her, panting like a happy dog, nipping at the ropes that were binding her to the chair. It looked around and started to growl again, the doors to the dining room flying open, the power holding them closed was temporarily broken.

@Kairi
The deer almost listened to what Kairi said, taking its time to think on it, and slowly started to morph, as did the other heads of the animals that fell down to the ground. Every step that the deer took, its body morphed and altered, starting to look like a Frankenstein creature. Stitching's were sewn around its body where other animals pieces were attached, and different items stuck out of its body. It growled a noise that should never be able to come out of a deer's mouth, and looked around, assortment of hybrid animals slowly came to full form, growling and snarling at Kairi. Only a loud banging at the door was heard above the animals, it almost sounded like a mimic. The deer started to rear up, then it charged at Kairi, snarling and coming at her. Luckily for her, a body part it grew got stuck on some furniture, making it get stuck for a moment.

Connor, being left alone by himself in the room, slowly started to stop crying, wiping his eyes and sniffling a little bit. He slowly stood up and walked over to the corner where a shadow was forming, and he smiled brightly. "Mom!" He giggled and hugged the form. The creature smiled and held the child close. "Oh Connor... sweet sweet Connor. I wont let those bad people touch you okay? You'll be safe with me. Always." She smiled and kissed his forward before slowly fading away. Connor frowned for a bit, but then picked up a doll from the floor, the doll still alive. The doll smiled and jumped on to Connor's head, happy to be around Connor. The child smiled and began playing with the doll.

Spencer shivered and tried his best to hold on to the walls of the tower, the fake Ryo pushing him slowly to the ledge. "W-wait no!" He screamed and thrashed from the grip that was on his shirt. He was about to fall to his death, by the 'man' that he used to love. Spencer dug his nails into the crack between to bricks, causing the creature to stop pushing him for a moment. Ryo's face turned into anger and he lashed out at the hand gripping on to the wall, giving Spencer enough time to react and get away from him. "What do you want from me!" He yelled at the creature, pulling his shield out to face the creature. "Oh Spencer, I want you to beg for death." Ryo giggled and lunged at him, making the two tumble down the stairs. Luckily Spencer had his shield out, so he was protected by the sudden onslaught, and was able to stand up quickly. Spencer's back met open air when he realized he was by another open window, but this one was lower down. Spencer's eyes darted behind him and to the Ryo coming towards him, a angry sadistic look painted along the beautiful exterior. "No where to run faggot. Give it up now." It snarled. Spencer's eyes tinted in anger and Spencer shield bashed him the best he could, making Ryo take a few steps back. "You'll meet your death, don't you worry about that." He snarled and ran back with Ryo on his tail, leaping from the window. Spencer screamed and quickly came crashing down on the the hedge below, cushioning his fall till he fell on to the ground, falling unconscious.

@Hestia

The creature laughed at the scene that was playing out, Hestia crying and getting angry at seeing her friends get hurt. The creature's eyes tinted a red color as it saw the Teion and Ryo have each other, and Spencer was jumping to safety from the fake Ryo, and the Jevi was able to get away from the killer dolls. The creature growled in anger and got distracted for a moment, but then Hestia's out burst made it cry out in almost fear. A couple slashed met the shadow's frame and it screeched, grabbing Hestia's throat. But it seemed that it would not stop the woman at all from attacking back and trying to kill the creature. I guess this runt has to die. The creature thought, sad that it couldn't play with its food anymore. The creature went to strike it, but a lion's bite made the Creature screech again, this time in pain. It turned to see Kuro biting and growling at it. "What are you!" It screamed and tried to pry the thing off of its arm, but it seemed there was no getting it off. The creature quickly dissipated into smoke, leaving the lion and Hestia alone in the bathroom. Kuro walked forward and looked up at Hestia, worried about her health.

@Jevi

The dolls watched as Jevi quickly bolted away from their reach, going down to the greenhouse on the first floor. The dolls watched as another wisp of shadow flowed into the greenhouse, coming for Jevi. The creature watched as the woman walked around the main floor, looking at everything that was scattered around, vegetables and flowers. Pots broken and dirt scattered around the floor. A couple of hedge clippers lay there, and vines growing over the windows. The vines move slowly, like they are coming to life. One taps on the window, and tries to get in, but it can't break through... not yet anyways. The woman would see the entrance to the maze in front of her, and the vines on either side, but it seemed as though they couldn't get through the hedges, but they were cracking the windows slowly but surely, the vines might get in. While this was going on, Jevi would be able to hear a scream coming from inside the Hedge maze, and a slight shadow falling from a tower in the distance.

@Ryo @Teion

The fake Quinzel's eyes went wide for a moment, but slowly went back into am evil smirk as it watched as Teion's demeanor slowly changed into fear. The woman slowly pushed Teion backwards, chuckling softly and running a hand through her hair, tugging on it slightly. "Poor poor darkened woman, you'll never get out of here-" She gasped as the shadow cat bit the woman's leg, hissing loudly. Quinzel started to shake the cat off, but it wouldn't let go. At the moment the woman bitch was preoccupied, this gave Teion the opportunity to land a blow to the face, sending the woman crashing back, and her shadow body falling down the pantry ventilation system. The main shadow creature, that had taken shape of the alcoholic, turned back to its original shape, glaring at the two players and the cat, the penguin not seen. The cat hissed again, but the creature ignored it, slowly walking forward towards Teion, ready to finish the job. Ryo, now up for his original position, slowly stood up and grabbed the creature's arm, making it stop. Its face was covered in rage, everything that was happening was not going as planned, and it couldn't get a hold of everyone. It looked back and forth between the three figures and slowly dissipated, its eyes glowing red in pure rage, knowing it might not win this fight.

The creature's lips turned up into a sadistic smile, watching their plan slowly start to come forward. The man at the tower was getting close to his death, the woman in the bedroom was being taunted, and the man was trapped in the kitchen. The creature's attention turned to the two woman in Connor's room and growled in hatred. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!" It screeched and raised its arm, letting her shadow essence slowly start to drip out of its body, following towards the two woman. The creature looked at the two with pure hatred, thinking that they were hurting poor, sweet Connor.

"Ryo.. Oh my god Ryo! I can't believe you found me! Thank god I found someone." He smiled and hugged the man, what happened in the basement he ignored and considered it his eyes playing tricks on him, he was happy to see on of his friends. Ryo hugged the man back and pulled away, giving a sadistic grin. "My poor, sweet Spencer. How could I deny you, just look at you, you have ever quality worthy of love." Ryo smiled and stroked the mans face. Spencer's body contorted in pain on the inside, he didn't know what was happening. "W-Wha." He started but Ryo silenced him with a finger, walking towards him. This led Spencer to slowly back up the stairs. "Shh my sweet, you look so adorable right now, I can't believe I chose Teion over you, that woman doesn't know what it means to be in a relationship but you do." The gleam in Ryo's eyes made Spencer shiver to the core. His own heart wanted to believe this, wanted to believe it so bad that he almost did, almost. N-No I can't do this. What about Teion? The two of them are dating.... He was going for her and chasing after her. He wouldn't back track now, what is going on. He shook his head and got some distance between the two of them. "R-Ryo stop it, this isn't you." He said, and Ryo's eyes flickered to yellow. "You're right, but that wont save you." Ryo's hands shot forward and grabbed his shirt, pushing him to the ledge of a window.

@Hestia

"Hestia!" Kimi screamed and backed up, her heading hitting the wall. Kimi cried out in pain at the whiplash and held her head, looking at Hestia with tears in her eyes. "I love you, how could you do this to me." She whimpered and looked at the ground, her eyes full of tears... that were slowly turning to blood. "Hestia, how could you hurt me! I loved you! We were together and you just hurt me like that! I could never.. Never forgive you! I wont." She screamed and ran at Hestia, but as she hit Hestia's body, Kimi vanished through her body. After a moment of silence, laughing slowly started to come from behind her, a hand slowly running down Hestia's back. "Oh you protective woman, you wont be able to protect them now." She giggled and pushed Hestia towards the bathroom, making her face the mirror. The image slowly faded to reveal Spencer being held over a ledge by a shadow figure. It faded and went back to seeing Ryo being stalked by the Shadow creature. Then to Jevi and Teion being attacked by a pool of darkness. The shadow creature pushed her face forward to show her Kairi getting attacked by shadow beasts, Jomei balling on the ground, Telrenya crying on the floor, and Ruby tied to a chair. "Oh Hestia, you can't save any of them."

@Jevi @Teion

Noot looked at the hands coming down to grab him, and Noot went to jump into them, but Connor held on to Noot. "No! You can't have him! He's mine! All mine! I have no more friends, I WANT A FRIEND!" Connor screamed and Noot wiggled free of Connor. The child hit at Noot, almost knocking him over, and grabbing him. Noot growled and bit at the kid, biting on to his hand. Connor looked at his hand, at the penguin, then started to cry. Connor whimpered and balled his eyes out, slowly curling into a ball. "I WANT HIM I WANT HIM I WANT HIM!" He screamed and had a temper tantrum. Noot ran to Teion and clung to her leg, scared out of his mind. Slowly, as the spectacle of the balling child unfolded, a figure from the shadows slowly rose from the ground and looked at the two woman, tears in its eyes. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM." It screamed and its essence shot forward, hitting the dolls in the room, the objects falling to the ground. "You'll pay for hurting him, he did NOTHING to you, how dare you hurt him." It snarled and the dolls turned, slowly getting up, yellow, unblinking eyes. "I want them TOrn to SHREDS." It snarled again and the dolls ran forward, coming at the two woman and the penguin.

@Ryo

Quinzel's hand slowly stroked down Ryo's chest, stopping at his stomach and pushing him slowly against a wall. "Oh dear, you seem all out of sorts, any way I can help?" She cocked her head with the last part and winked, running a hand through her hair. "You know I always liked you the best, you just seemed, better than everyone else there." She giggled a bit and stepped closer to her, her lips close to Ryo's. "But you are with someone now, did you forget about me?" She asked with a sad looked painted on her face. "I wanted you Ryo, I wanted you badly, but you moved on with your life, casting me, and everyone else, aside when you thought we weren't worthy... Am I not worthy Ryo? Can you not see the love and decency in me? I thought I could be good for you." She came back with a smile. "Oh I can be very good for you Ryo."

The Creature growled softly, the plans it was forming were not coming together correctly, but it didn’t know exactly how to push them all into the right direction. “This is horrible, they aren’t even that scared. At least I have the boy and that woman in my grips so far. That awful couple is next, same with those two woman… but Connor's room, how I hate to make him witness to all of this… But we must do this. I’m so sorry sweet one.” The creature was sorrowful of needing to attack in the child’s poor room, not wanting to bring him all into all of this. The creature then went to the other group, smiling as Kairi entered the room, but growling still when Ruby had the better sense to ignore the possible attack in the Dining Room. "That little [censored], you aren't going anywhere." It growled and formulated its plan, but first to pay a visit to the couple.

@Telrenya

As the woman starts to come to, the soft glow of candles and machines wash over her eyes. If she were to open her eyes, the figures of 5 people, all in states of wounds and damage, are standing in front of her. The fifth one, closest to her, has adopted a face of someone she knew deep within her childhood and her past. "Oh Tel... You came to save me... Even thought you can't do anything." He said and shook his head, spiteful look on his face, but he still wore a smile. "To think you some how made your way here is a miracle in its own, and knowing that you had your entire guild's help isn't that surprising to be fair, you were always the weakest." BeatBox shook his head and looked a the woman on the ground. "I bet you believed that you would have been able to save me even if you were there? What a sad thought, you could never have saved me. You are so weak and pathetic looking right now, it's hard to imagine that you are able to be on the front lines..." He shook his head and pulled at the restraints, black blood/shadow dripping from his body.

@Jomei

Death_Adder shook his head and walked forward and snapped his fingers. Almost instantly a blade was put at Telrenya's throat and pushed in by Death_Adder himself. "You sweet, pathetic woman. Hope you die knowing that you will never be a hero." He shook his head and pushed it in fast, the red marks flaring up. Almost instantly they disappeared, but the group that showed up were gagged and bound, on their knees facing Jomei. Death_Adder turned Jomei around to face them all, Telrenya was also there, not dead, but her health was gone a lot, the party marker Jomei had showed her at half health. "Sweet innocent hero? No, fool." He smiled and walked towards the front of the line, the blade resting on Kairi's Head. "You first?" The man asked Jomei.

@Ruby

"Oh Hunnie... I really want to talk to you." The woman called out to Ruby. Jevi sighed and ran forward, grabbing her shoulder. "Oh Ruby, You're. Not. Leaving." She spat out and punched the woman in the face. Ruby, now in a chair at the dinning room  table, was tied down and forced to look forward, Jevi sitting at the other side of the table. "Oh you sweet... Sweet. [censored]. You thought you would leave ME!" She snarled and her body rippled from Jevi to the Shadow Creature. "No Matter, lets have Dinner, we have some guests." Jevi motioned to the decrepit bodies sitting at the table. "These are the only friends you'll ever have." She said and stepped on to the table, slowly walking towards her on the table. "Oh Ruby, You think your friends want to be around you? Oh no, pity is something that runs through their veins around you." She shook her head and gripped Ruby's Chin.

@Kairi

Hestia giggled and brought Kairi into the room, before disappearing into thin air. The shadow creature passed behind Kairi and touched one of the mounted heads that were scattered around the room, and one started to move. A deer head, its glass eyes staring into the distance, slowly moved and growled, busting off the wall. When it hit the ground, the head slowly formed into a body of a tall deer, growling and stomping its hooves, looking at Kairi. "Oh you poor woman, it seems as though you were lead into here by the woman you long for, oh well. Time to die." The creature smiled and laughed before disappearing, a bear head falling off the wall as well.

The Creature growled softly, the plans it was forming were not coming together correctly, but it didn’t know exactly how to push them all into the right direction. “This is horrible, they aren’t even that scared. At least I have the boy and that woman in my grips so far. That awful couple is next, same with those two woman… but Connor's room, how I hate to make him witness to all of this… But we must do this. I’m so sorry sweet one.” The creature was sorrowful of needing to attack in the child’s poor room, not wanting to bring him all into all of this.

Spencer was panting as he ran up the stairs of the tower, not knowing exactly he was going to end up. All he knew is that… that wasn’t Ryo. It was something else entirely, and Spencer didn’t want to stick around to really find out exactly what it could be. I really hope the rest of the group is doing okay, I’m scared to think what they could also be dealing with. But it may be like the last mansion, hopefully just normal traps….. I need to get out of here. Spencer sighed and stopped, listening for any noise that could be coming from down below. Hearing nothing, Spencer sighed and sat down, panting hard. “Oh my god..” He whispered and held his stomach, he thought he ran all the way up to the second floor without breathing. “Oh you poor soul…. How could I ever hurt you.” Spencer’s hair stood on end as he turned to see Ryo ascending the stairs, a sweet and innocent look on his face.

@Hestia

“Hestia…. How could you hurt me?” Telrenya’s face had a look of shock and betrayal on it. “I-I thought you wanted to protect us all, how could you try to kill us!” She exclaimed and backed up, tearing up. “I thought you could protect us…. But what am I kidding, you couldn’t even protect that NPC!” She yelled at Hestia bitterly, before her form slowly started to change. Her hair receded and grew a bit darker, a shield forming on its back. “Hey Sis….. I’m scared. I don’t think I’m safe anymore… why can’t you keep me safe Hestia? I consider you a sister but…. My own sister can’t protect me?” Spencer looked down at the ground and slowly became shorter, hair turning darker. “Oh Hesti…. I can’t be around you anymore, I don’t feel safe around you, you don’t have what it takes to help anyone… I’m sorry my sweet but I just can’t.” Kimi whispered and backed up to the wall, staring at Hestia with pain in her eyes.

@Jevi @Teion

“Are you Dad’s new workers?” A small voice slowly echoed through the Children’s room. A small child crawl out from a hiding place, his face still stained with tears. The child couldn’t have been more than 8 years old, his body trembling as he slowly stood up and looked at the ground, scared and unsure of what exactly he should be doing at the moment. “M-My name is Connor… My dad owns the house.... He told me he was bringing in new workers to help fill in for the other ones that left to take care of their families… I liked them  a lot.. They would sing me to sleep when Dad was making noises in his private room.” He smiled softly then sat on the ground, his eyes lighting up when he saw the Penguin. “OOOHOHOH What’s that!” He yelled excitedly, and Noot turned.

If the penguin could show how much sadness it had in its body when it saw the boy, it would look depressed. Noot ran over to the kid. “Noot Noot!” It called and hugged the boy, kissing his cheek and squeaking happily, trying to make the boy happy. The boy, giggling and smiling, looking up at the two woman in the room. “Did you bring him for me before I see my dad? He told me that I would be able to see my old friends soon! The ones he took away to make noise with that had to see their families. He says I’m very important, that all the medicine he has been giving me might be making me super strong! He just needs to see if I’ll wake up for when he puts me to sleep.” The boy giggled and set Noot, down, who looked up at Teion and Jevi, its body language changing dramatically.

@Ryo

“Oh Ryo… Sweet, sadistic Ryo, how did you gather such pleasure in all the pain you caused? And don’t tell me you didn't like it, you stayed with those people for so long.” The creature whispered into his ear, coming back after Jevi left. “You took so many people with you, throwing them into a fate that they thought they could never come out of… and some never have. Even your guild leader was almost destined to that fate. Oh sweet Ryo, we are more alike than you think.” The creature’s form slowly comes together, in form of someone Ryo worked with. “See, didn’t you miss me? We could do such good work together again.” Another member of the bandit group walked up to Ryo and smiled. “Ryo, we miss you, we need you back to work this, you know you missed us all.”
