"Good call, Ewan. Psyduck could retrieve the scroll once it falls. Alright. Wait for my signal.." Erika confirmed the plan as she waited for Gibs dig into position. That position was around the second Pidgeotto who was blowing a whirlwind towards the scroll and there, Erika would try to enact her plan. "Gibs! Sand-Attack and throw sand up into the whirlwind!" The idea was that while Gibs probably couldn't successfully hit the Pidgeotto guarding the scroll from where he was it, his accuracy reducing attack could be carried by the strong whirlwind, causing a small sort of dust storm to hopefully blind the guardian Pidgeotto. Intentionally, too, Erika realized that Zubat's lack of eyes and guidance by sonar would really play into this plan.

Gibs obliged Erika's command, and threw dirt up from the path into the whirlwind, peppering the scroll area. "Get the scroll, quick!"

Kyoka Haizenberuku

Almost unsurprisingly, Kyoka's ninjutsu had left little impression on the Shark as her spray was casually caught and.. absorbed? There wasn't a splash and scatter so Kyoka could only assume that occured, whether absorbed to empower or simply negation would take further study. More importantly than the mad chemist's passive observations, the Shark decided to divert his attention in a rather obvious manner to her.

Of course, Kyoka would move to dodge, even if it was a ploy, as being a standing target in the worst case scenario would not be beneficial. However, there was the a question of efficiency as Kyoka could just jump away with minimal impact but with what little time she had, her attention turned to Rumia who had suffered a blow earlier. She had expected her cousin to have survived but there was a suppressed concern for her opposite, after all, Rumia was the only relationship Kyoka was invested in throughout her short miserable life.

Indeed, Kyoka's expectations, and to the chemist's relief, were confirmed by the sight of Rumia taking the field again in a charge with one of her attacks priming. Despite the brief look, Kyoka knew which one and anything she could do to lend assistance to her monstrous cousin would only help. Therefore, Kyoka did not plan to jump out of the way as her hands quickly went through the motions of new hand seal, Kurāken Shokushu, the Kraken's Tentacles. With the hand seal completed, she flicked a chakra filled hand backwards to launch a black powder that ignited the moment it hit the ground. This powder burned and out of the powder rose a viscous tendril that shot towards Kyoka and wrapped her up, sinking into molten asphalt-like substance slightly before being flung her away. Heat from the molten tar, even in that brief exposure, began to warm Kyoka up considerably and her layered clothing, she'd likely receive some burns being that close to the epicenter.

"Wweeee!" Kyoka hollered as her small frame was sent away. Kyoka had two things in mind, first the Kraken's Tentacle remained behind, now coiling around the area in a chaotic mess aimed at getting the Shark to reemerge right into a portion of this ensnaring hot goo and hopefully provide her cousin a clean shot. The second purpose was Kyoka's trajectory wasn't random but aimed at her approaching cousin and as the two came close to passing, Kyoka gave a sharp whistle and tossed a small ceramic case out in front of Rumia, aiming to lead her so her cousin wouldn't have to slow. Inside the case was pure sodium powder, which being an alkali metal, would react explosively when touching water. It was a working theory that Kyoka predicted the Shark, especially in this more primal state right now, to have quite the affinity for water so much so that it was likely the Shark's clothes and even skin were damp with water. If Kyoka's theory held true, then the sodium should be effective as it wasn't a chakra based attack. Rumia ultimately had two options of dispersal, throw the whole container to likely cause a more dramatic explosion or to open the container and fling the powder to causing smaller explosions and a burning effect. Either was fine, but Kyoka predicted her more simpleton cousin would be more inclined for the dramatic.

Fiasco! Candy Apples and Razorblades

Getting a little buddy-buddy in here. Remember, in a Fiasco, everyone has their own agenda, and doesn't care for the long-term consequences. I was imagining that Mae's character is a juvenile delinquent who has one friend in this new town, which is Cao's character. My character feigns fatherly interest in Mae's character merely in order to use her for his magic ritual. And there's no more artifact necessarily. Anyways, I'll take Carnival 6: The fortune teller.

@Jove

So... My character wants to hold a great Halloween Dance and not die.

Fiasco! Candy Apples and Razorblades

So, from the sound of it, @Jove hires @Mae an I to steal the artifact. A spell book makes most sense. For my revenge on @Pirouette, maybe the witch was both of our descendants. My character chose her to become the vessel for the witch to return. Is this close?

@Cao the Exiled

Hmm... Why would the Step-Father hire his Step-Daughter to steal an artifact?

Agreed, Spellbook makes the most sense.

So would be related? Hm... What if the story of the witch is just an urban legend that turns out true? In that case, your character can still try to get his revenge through those same means? At the very least, have my character caught with a stolen artifact.

@Cao the Exiled I'm really liking the sound of this. Perhaps @Pirouette may not know she's a descendant?

@Mae

I had intended on my character not knowing she's a descendant.

Fiasco! Candy Apples and Razorblades

@Mae

Sure.

Fiasco! Candy Apples and Razorblades

First option sounds best.

Maybe have Jove take the Dance Oragniser and stuff with my character?

Fiasco! Candy Apples and Razorblades

Give me 4 to get even with the mean girl!

The following room and the corresponding challenge proved to be quite interesting. From the unnatural man-made cavern of the Flying Challenge to the evovled Pidgeotto and the timed Pidgeot, there was a lot to take in. Unfortunately not a lot of time, as a playful gust from the nearby roosting Pidgeotto forced Erika to turn away, reminding her to get her butt moving.

Erika hurried over to the start of the bridge where the three Pidgeottos were now whirlwinding away, creating quite the hazard if Erika tried to cross and not wanting to feel how cold the water was, she didn't try. So trying to think of something else, she thought about Sno, Poli, and Gibs and consider what their strengths were. Maybe Sno could make things cold in this room? No. That wouldn't work as Sno likely had her limit and she probably couldn't drop the temperature of the whole room... Poli didn't have many quirks to help at the moment, besides he was still fairly weak right now... Gibs? Yea, maybe... Wait! That was it!

Calling forth Gibs from his Pokeball, Erika bent down and patted her recent companion on top of his head before pulling back from a sudden playful snap. "Gib, gib." The Gible chattered with satisfaction as he acknowledged Erika before glancing around the room. Erika gave him a moment before returning to her feet and pointing down along the track, having Gibs follow her finger along the elevated stone. "Gibs, I need to you dig a trench on this path so we can crawl along without the wind knocking us off." Erika instructed, going over the plan and reasoning in her head. The idea was similar to the reasoning you would jump in a ditch for a tornado... kind of. The fierce winds should pass over and the walls of the trench would make for great support.

"Dig only as tall as you. You think you can do that, Gibs?" Erika asked, looking down at her Gible. "Gib, gible!" Gible nodded confidently and began working eagerly to dig down before digging along the path in a trench.

With that in process, Erika turned to Joshua and Ewan. "I think we'll be fine if we crawl along in the trench, but what about that scroll? You think we need that or maybe we get a bonus.. I'm just not sure how to get it, unless..." Erika took a moment to consider before coming up with something. "Joshua! You have a Zubat, right? What if I have Gibs throw sand and blind the Pidgeotto that is almost definitely guarding the scroll and you can have Zubat try and retrieve it or at least knock it off into the pedestal?"

Erika's mind was a bit elsewhere at the moment so she didn't notice when her Pokedex went off, indicating a call from her friend, Claire.

@ScreenAcne

Yea... I'm really having a hard time understanding you, too.

Kyoka Haizenberuku

Unfortunately, Kyoka would never get her chance to dissect what could have been the hidden brilliance of of the Ice Queen as circumstance would draw their attention elsewhere. Instead, her (and her former teammates) would get their attention drawn to the rather problematic entrances of a duo that was highly unlikely to be any Chuunin level members. If these were, in fact, some terrorist-types, then the Konoha and other leaders had surely failed to offer the security that they promised, especially considering the rather nasty rumors that they let that one Chuunin boy vanish without a trace. Evidence enough to supply Kyoka with doubts that they weren't in the best of hands, but now wasn't the time to consider that. Now, Kyoka had to ensure her cousin and maybe the others to die horrifically at the hands of these unknown terrorists.

Kyoka was slower than the others but not by ability, she could have kept up, but by choice as she began her studies on the duo. Sharks supported a Water theme while the Weapons and Explosion could be have been anything. Bearing that in mind, targeting the Water user first was the more optimal choice... not that Kyoka had that choice as it was hastily decided by her cousin. Thankfully, the anatomy of such a figure supported the whole water theme and Rumia's hasty actions would give Kyoka the chance to observe and consider her part.

The Water Jutsu was of no surprise but the wielded weapon this figure had showed signs of something unusual. It had honestly looked like an extension of the figure and perhaps it was. Regardless, the interactions unfolded and Kyoka tried to make notes where she could. A third Chuunin, one Kyoka wasn't familiar with, had also joined her cousin in the assault on the Shark figure. An important note as Kyoka's initial move would likely cause harm to her teammates if she wasn't aware they were here within this watered dome.

With the time Kyoka was provided, she casted Buffer Bubble to encompass both her teammates for this battle: Rumia and the other, who likely didn't know what was happening as a faint mist hovered over his body. That was fine as it wouldn't be too distracting and would protect him from most of what Kyoka was already cooking. "Sansei ame... _{Acid Rain, Rain Go Away..."} Kyoka quietly sang as her she released the smelly, heated vapors of acid. Contained in this dome, her Acid Rain clouds were likely to stay trapped inside with them. The idea was pretty simplistic but judging from the anatomy of this figure, lowering the pH of the air and water inside this dome would likely cause him quite a few problems and with this being an sealed off environment, that task was now possible.

While the rain clouds gathered, Kyoka was curious to see if she could stump the Shark with a bit of deception. Although different, her acid did relatively look similar to the water releases and if this figure was arrogant enough to think Kyoka was just coming at him with water, he might not dodge but rather take the blow? It was worth a try. Skilled Acid Technique should do, Kyoka said mentally to herself as she quickly did the hand signals and opened her mouth to sprout a geyser of Acid at the Shark figure. In the event of a dodge, Rumia and the other would find themselves unharmed though pushed back, as the force was enough to sweep someone off their feet.
