[center][color=Magenta][h2]Alicia Harnick[/h2] Level: 2 Day/Time: Day Two Location: Butter Building, Kirby's Dream Land Interacting: Mister Bright[@Holy Soldier] Mention: Banjo-Kazooie[@Etherean Fire], Cloud Strife[@Holy Soldier], Frisk Dreemur[@Guardian Angel Haruki] Word Count: 507[/color][/center] Frisk's acceptance of the fact that combat, and the enemy dying as a result, was potentially their only way out was...surprising for the Titan, as so far he had looked for every other route that would both get them through and leave an enemy alive, to potentially ambush them from behind. Admittedly, that was a thought brought on by the familiar feeling of being in the territory of enemies who she wondered if they understood the concept of mercy. Regardless, three of the floors were now done regardless of how they were passed, which left only a couple more before they faced down the King himself; were they ready for it when the time came? Alicia shook her head as the door to the next area came into sight. Of course they would be, they were there to protect the entirety of the multiverse after all. [center]------------[/center] The next room after the whale's was covered in what was clearly a normal field of grass, though it was darker than hell, much like the room with the Poppy Bros before they had revealed themselves. For a moment, just one, the Stalwart would wonder if perhaps the whale had been overbearing in his judgement and perhaps they could talk their way past the next boss, or bosses. However, the banter that picked up would carry in it a maliciousness that, at least to the Titan, was almost palpable. Before the pair lit up the room, the Doctrine of Passing's butt was braced against her shoulder, sweeping side to side looking for the sources of sound before they revealed themselves as personifications of the sun and the moon...well, crescent moon. The sun flew close, raising the temperature of the area around it severely, but having been on Mercury, the heat registered in a "Hey, this is hotter than normal, but survivable" way. The moon, on the contrary, kept his distance and simply stated the dark was scarier. This sparked an argument and the pair went at it, which lead Alicia to hope, for a brief moment, perhaps their rivalry would do their job for them and they could pick off the survivor to get the door open, but instead, a game of rock, paper, scissors decided who they'd face. It was unorthodox, all things considered since it was about to be a duel to the death between this Mister Bright and the group of heroes, but then unorthodox was sometimes the best way to go. Within moments, the crescent moon was spinning like a saw blade and zooming at them from across the field, cut grass flying up in the air. As Frisk called for the group to dodge, Alicia was already sprinting to the side, her auto rifle coming alive as she aimed at the spinning moon and fired. There was not much in the way of cover, so their best bet was to stay mobile, which meant that using the Bolt-Caster was out of the question, not that she'd land a hit with it the way he kept moving.

If there was one thing that James was certain of, it was that Guile wouldn't appreciate being disturbed again because of yet another outbreak of fighting that the Hunter was involved in, but before he could give his input, which was that their best bet was to hide Sparx somewhere and just walk out like nothing happened and they hadn't seen or noticed him, a dozen things happened at once. First Cuphead revealed he was perhaps the only one, or one of them, who hadn't noticed the guy downstairs and that he didn't doubt Sparx's strength since he'd almost been killed by a Queen Bee. [color=LightCoral][i]"Giant Bees where he's from? Wonder what their honey output is..."[/i][/color] The Nightstalker left his Ghost to his musings as he attempted to put a stop to Bentley's plan before someone got hurt, since that's what they were asking for with an attempt to observe the guy, though he gave the fashion obsessed, gem controlling, mace wielding guy props for offering to help the wheelchair bound turtle out down the stairs. But he was further cut off by the same guy as he described what it was he could do and then stating sneaking wouldn't be a strong point for him, something James agreed with wholeheartedly, but he could lower someone down. [color=SteelBlue]"Guys, I don't thi-"[/color] This time it was the purple haired...Guardian Genie, something that the Guardian didn't want to try and figure out what that meant, cut him off. She had gone over to the door to the room and carefully cracked it before closing it just as carefully and approaching the group that he was heading to the stairs after listening in on them. Of course, as he once again went to tell them they should just head for the castle, the Genie did a weird dance and became...[color=LightCoral][i]"A monkey? I don't even..."[/i][/color] [color=SteelBlue][i]"Later, Charger. We need to put a sto-Ah damn it."[/i][/color] And off she went as Charger materialized, the Crimson Shelled Ghost watching her go for a moment before turning back. [color=LightCoral]"James, I've tagged her as friendly. You can find her like that."[/color] James nodded before turning to the others, his face somewhat stoney. [color=SteelBlue]"OK, here's what we're ACTUALLY going to do. We can't afford another brawl in Platform City, especially in the city proper. So you're all going to go with Charger here,"[/color] he indicated the floating Ghost, who nods a hello to everyone, [color=SteelBlue]"to Tetris Castle. He has a direct communication line to me, so if you get into trouble, he can reach me. I'm going after our transforming friend and getting her back with the group. All the same, I want you all to wait five minutes before leaving so that if he IS leaving, he isn't going to be able to launch an Ambush without me seeing it. So, I'll be back."[/color] Following Shantae out of the window, he double jumps just before impact to avoid damage to his shields before sprinting out of sight towards the blue dot on his motion tracker. The nice thing about friendlies was they didn't need to be moving to show up on it. Still, finding her visually was a bit of a trick, but he managed to do it after about two minutes, which left only three before the group left the Inn, if they stuck to the plan. Coming up quietly behind her, as was a talent Hunters had, he tapped her shoulder. [color=SteelBlue]"This is a bad idea and you know it. Let's get back to the group and back to the Castle. Guile will kill us if there's another brawl in this city."[/color]
