That worked way better than she had expected.
Lilie watched (in horror) the spectacle, amazed at how devilish the creature of the water was. She had been right to have been creeped out by them, their ability to multiply downright frightening. Good thing she was safe from them! Or at least, she assumed she was, because as the beast toppled over onto the count, she suddenly realized just how reckless that was. It was like watching everything in slow motion, the beast's leg getting ripped to shreds, it falling onto both Ben and her body, and its claws reaching out and plunging into her face--that last one in particular wasn't fun to look at.
But as quickly as it happened, everything faded just as fast, and as Lilie blinked, she was back in front of the harp in the forest. Her hands flew to her face, her fingers tingling lightly--she was back in her body! And her face wasn't slashed! Thank goodness, really, those beast's claws looked like they had really done some damage. She let out a huge sigh of relief, patting herself down. All limbs accounted for, too. It looked like Ben came out unscathed, too.
Looking back at the harp, she noticed the small elephant, taking both it and the piece of paper before reacting the spell. “With wisdom gained, your path diverged. Respite excitement for paths abandoned lay ahead. The moon’s own travels guide you homeward bound while it’s mirror offers a lesson.” She read out loud. "Well, we have two challenges down, so now we need at least two more for the complete grade, and four for that extra credit." She carefully pocketed the elephant with the heart, bouncing on her heels as she looked up towards the moon.
Walking back to the vampire, she took a hold of his sleeve, pulling him towards the next challenge. "I'm down for learning. Let's go!" She urged him.

Deeming herself a winner with @Bert Macklin.
"Mmm," Asuka's small noise was one of understanding, her fingers occupied with fluffing her locks for a moment. Some training wasn't a bad idea, but she didn't want to admit her weakness just yet. They hadn't revealed one another's quirks yet, and she wasn't entirely sure if she wanted to open up on how her only real battle experience was practice fighting from the kung fu movies she liked to watch. She wanted to think it counted for something, but honestly, there was only so much one could do without actual formal training.
Asuka didn't respond at first, dropped her hand to her pocket as she looked at her phone. She supposed she should get going if she wanted to find Yasuhide or meet the neighbors. Should she invite Mizuhana? She did say she had her own plans, but they didn't sound completely concrete. Maybe she should work on strengthening their bond a little before she took off.
Putting on a small smile, Asuka pocketed her phone before clapping her hands together. "If we end up at the cafeteria at the same time, would you want to have lunch together?" Some time apart, then coming together, but leaving it completely open just in case.

Conversing with @Inkarnate
You still accepting people I assume? I just want to be sure before I start brainstorming more than I already have for my hangman character.
@Cojemo
Yeah, but Hanged Man's taken if that's what you meant. Hierophant, Chariot, Devil, and Tower are open.
Tower is taken, but Justice is open.
Okay, okay, Ben definitely noticed. But the more Lilie watched him, the more she realized he wasn't really doing anything. Not that that was a bad thing, but she was pretty surprised. Maybe she overestimated him? Well, not like she would do much better, she was pretty sure she'd either dive into the waters or hide on the other side of the coffin. There had to be something she could do, but aside from letting Ben know that he was running out of time, she had no idea what she could do. She could use her affinity, but it wasn't like it would do anything to the monster.
Looking down at the sea, she tried not to shudder at the sight of one of those...things. At least Ben wasn't fleeing right into one of those things. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, though, she suddenly got an idea. She had already managed to get the water to reach Ben, and with it rising, she was pretty sure she could get the monster, too! Could she maybe push one of those weird things to the surface?
Seeing as how she literally had nothing to lose at this point, Lilie ignored the conversation as she stared down at the creepy-swimming-creatures. She patiently waited until one of them would decide to swim close to the island, making up her mind. "Okay, okay, I can do this," She verbally encouraged herself. Just push, and pull, push, and pull, and push way harder than usual. If she could consistently send water flying, she was pretty sure if she just did what she usually did in Affinity Mastery with Esi she could do it.
She moved as close to the edge and the underwater thing as she could, trying to time her pushes. She wasn't entirely sure if it was making a big difference, but seeing the thing try to swim away let her know she was doing something. "Sorry!" She apologized, focusing on one big push as she sent it towards the beast.

Lakshmi cocked her head slightly, her leg bouncing for a moment. He had actually hesitated--yes, this was the very one she needed. Too obedient and with little confidence would lead to disastrous results if things were to go awry. He had a good head on his shoulders, solidifying her choice and reassuring her greatly. He wanted so little, she almost felt bad for it. Fortunately she meant to keep good on her word and wasn't about to go scorning another.
"You'll do neither of those once we are done," She promised him that much, placing her hands at her sides before sliding gracefully to her feet. "As for getting in, that is the easy part. We will simply walk in through the servant's quarters, hiding in plain sight. Many like you have been hired off the streets for one night, and unfamiliar faces are common in the palace today. So long as you are with me, no one will question you. I will guide you to the khedive's room, you will take the lamp, and then we leave while everyone is none the wiser."
She stepped in front of Harun, a finger pointing upwards. "That said, there is no such thing as an easy walk of life. There may be a risk, I will not deny it. Should the worst come, I may not be able to protect you. If you have any doubts, any fears, then I advise you forget my face, and I will search for another," She gave him one final warning. "If you are still in agreement after hearing all that, then we will be off, and there will be no turning back."
Lakshmi lowered her hand, opening it up as she seemed to be holding it out for him. "Do we have a deal?"

Well that was awkward as fuck.
Eris blinked very slowly at the scene unfolding before him, shaking his head slightly like he was trying to shake the tension away. He was usually all for low-effort cheating, but he wasn't aware Varis was so brazen about it. Maybe it was because of his own experience with the illusionary princess, but Eris didn't really think mouthing off to royalty was ever a good idea. Either Ryner was excruciatingly patient or the Sinnenodel had something on her--alternatively she might have just been shocked like Eris was.
There was no chance to quip or stop the redhead, but he'd be lying if he said he tried hard. Still, now that he had a second of the princess' time, Eris straightened up slightly. His head might've been all over the place, but he wasn't about to lose the chance to make due on his promise sooner than later. If he was being honest, he would rather not set foot in the princess' office ever again if it could be helped.
"I'm sure your mailbox will be stuffed to the brim in that regard," Eris couldn't help but let that much dryness out before he paused, rubbing the back of his neck. "That being said, I would think he did you a favor on interfering with that particular task--having insight on the other sounds great until their memories get mixed around and things get...confusing..."
He didn't even get the chance to realize what he said before lowering his arm, a little tense as he closed his eyes. No, best to just spit it out and get it over with. Except, despite everything, it still felt wrong. It felt like he was outing some deep, dark secret, something he was never meant to tell, and feelings be damned if he was one to back-stab so suddenly out of the blue. Then again, did he really have any more dignity to lose? There was also the possibility that he was mistaken in the identity of who to pass the message to, but for now, he would take his chances.
After a few seconds of deliberating, he took a quick look around to make sure there weren't wandering eyes or ears. "It seems I had the opportunity to speak to Cydril," He lowered his voice as he spoke, gauging her reaction.
