Katherine Lindall

Katherine was indeed surprised, and couldn't tell if she allowed the cat to move her cat down or she just couldn't focus on keeping her head forward. She stayed quiet through the cat's monologue. She was definitely confused by the girl's straight-forward manner in this way. Then she finished and headed off towards a room teasingly. "I can't really make fun of you when you talk so serious like this." She looked through the rooms that were available to look in as she walked by noting the suits of armor. "Damn suits of armor should just disappear..." She muttered as she walked past.

Once she noticed that specific bedroom, her eyes narrowed, studying the implements in the room. "The hell is this? Embalming tools? Someone trying to make a mummy? And this smell... It's familiar... Incense was it? An ancient Egyptian of sorts? We'll have to ask that Chimera later..." What was someone doing with Embalming Tools here? It was odd. They couldn't have been here too long ago with this smell still lingering. It was then that she noticed the window in the room and took a peek out. There was a sight she had not thought she'd see. "Oh my, how are you all down there?"

Lunalel Lightsword

Luna followed the creature's glance upstairs and mostly ignored Sorcha's insults at the creature. She wasn't one to judge a creature or person on their characteristics. Though she was slightly irritated it decided to attack her and a non-threat... Specifically the non-threat. Still she was looking up when the creature poked her chest so her eyes went fairly wide before realizing Sorcha scared the thing back. Luna held her hand up, signaling Sorcha to cease for the moment. "Sorcha, you believe in me right? It knows that if it steps out of line it's as good as dead with Sorcha Ó Maoilriain at my side." With confidence, Luna stepped forward and gently patted the thing on its nose. As she knew Sorcha trusted her, she trusted Sorcha to follow up.

"Oh my, how are you all down there?" A voice called from above... A familiar voice. "Oh my, if it isn't the Dragon, the Knight, the Demon and the Mage-in-Training. And... A Wyrm of course. No offense but I stopped paying attention to your fight."

Sol had long dismounted Sorcha's back, luckily it was before the dragon had electricity arc between her wings. When the voice called from above, she was the first to reference her from below. "Ahh! Puppet-Lady! Luna fought this... Uhhh, Lindwyrm? And won! And now we're... Doing something..." She wasn't all too sure what they were doing at the moment. An interrogation?

Luna noticed that was around the area that the Wyrm looked up at. "Miss Lindall! Have you found anything interesting up there?" She asked.

"Aside the creepy suits of armor?" Katherine asked before pausing, considering if she wanted to mention the room she was in. Well, whatever. "Embalming tools, smells like incense of sorts. Someone was here fairly recently. Nothing else at the moment. I'm just going to go back to camp, a little bunny has asked for some help cooking. Head back as soon as you're done..." With that, the teacher exited the window.

With that, Luna looked confused. Embalming tools? Those were... Uhh, things to preserve bodies? "What's that even mean. We just missed someone?" Luna asked, peeking back at Sorcha, resting her hand on the Wyrm's nose.

"We didn't find anything horridly great... Don't see anything else of worth up here do you? Perhaps we should take these tools with us... Might force the owner to come looking for us..." With that idea, Katherine summoned a few dolls to carry some of the supplies with them. With the depressing supplies in tow, Katherine wanted to bring up her previous conversation a bit. "You know, Meowka, when she said I was 'unclean' she wasn't exactly wrong. It's not like I can deny that. You know just what I do, don't you?" She asked, fairly serious with her cat since she was as well.

Eith the Shellagh

"Not deserving of a name?" Eith vocalized as she thought slightly on what the Chimera said before realizing the thing in front of her was talking more. "What housepet?" It didn't take too long for Eith to realize she was talking about Maoin. "Oh, that annoying thing." Eith muttered pulling her hand from the handshake. "The remains of the experiments of the demons that once stayed here would probably be me." Eith confirmed. Her memories were tatters, but her horrid feelings about the place was most likely a good sign. Still, Eith looked over the Chimera in front of her quickly and nodded a few times. She was going to be blunt. "I'd want someone like you repopulating my pack." Less a request and more an observation. "Quite strong looking with advantages one can see plain."

Doll #7

Meanwhile, Miren asked a doll to help with cooking. This was just the perfect question. With the vast knowledge of Katherine's recipe book, this doll was in fact... Chef Doll! It nodded, fakely twirling it's non-existant moustache. It made a gesture towards the ingredients that seemed to be asking, "What are we making?"

As Luna finished the battle, Sorcha decended upon the field. Of course she was just watching. Well, probably wanted Sol to see her in action... Well, it was more likely for herself really. Regardless, the Knightess walked over to Marie, to make sure she was fine. "Thanks for the compliment, but I really should be doing better. Would you be able to help me train some when we return home?" Soom enough, she found herself at Marie. "Let me see your neck." With or without the demon's consent, Luna took a look. It was slightly bruised but she seemed mostly fine. "Let me heal you." Luna put her palm at Marie's neck and muttered "Healing..."

Soon enough, whatever little damage there really was disappeared soon enough. "That should be good for now, Marie." Luna stated before standing, offering her a hand to stand. After she either accepted or didn't, the Knightess made her way over to the Wyrm. "Now then, you." Luna looked back to Sorcha, "Assuming that it understands speech then?" After a quick nod, Luna continued, "Would you like to explain yourself? I won't hurt you anymore... Supposing you don't try anything foolish, I suppose we can keep it that way."

Sol meanwhile, just stayed quiet. Luna was doing something important after all, and she didn't want to make a distraction for her. Plus, she was too busy staring at this large lizard dragon thing! It was cool looking!

Katherine Lindall

Katherine couldn't help but giggle at her kitten a little bit. "Oh my, unhappy are you? You don't look as cute with an unhappy face. Anyhow, we're going on a little foray upstairs." She tightened her grip on the cat's hand and pulled her up the stairs. "Why are you all unhappy? Just because I was flirting with that ball of muscle?

Once the two reached the top of the steps, Katherine turned to look her familiar in the eyes. "Are you upset I was flirting? Or perhaps was it I was flirting in front of you? Or perhaps... It was because it wasn't at you?" Her free hand slipped under the kitten's chin and lifted it to make sure her vision wasn't taken away. "Or am I wrong?" She added, squeezing Meowka's hand. She was mostly teasing the cat now, but if she could get the cat to answer that'd work as well.

Eith the Shellagh

Eith had done what she could, setting the fire and a few other things... But this new thing came in. It was... Strong looking. She definitely kept her eyes on this creature or whatever it is. After a bit of her working, Eith's curiosity overwhelmed her. She stepped up to the Chimera. "You look strong. Smell like many things. What are you? Was it... Chimera? Who are you? Name? I am Eith, of the Shellagh. 'It's a pleasure to meet you' as the humans put it." She offered a hand as she noticed the humans had done before in meetings. It's lucky for her that she learned these mannerisms after her seal weakened.

Digimon: Tamer's Bureau

"Geez 'Impy' you're so suspicious. Since you guys brought up the Hot Springs I figured they'd be nice to use. So we flew over here. I'm the Spirit of Wind, remember? It's not all too weird that I'm able to fly." Lana said, pouting a little bit though it was fakely.

Yumeko claped her hands together, Guess we're finding this waterfall then. This'll be interesting." She scratched her head for a second. "What's a Dokunemon anyway?" The girl asked her fairy friend.

Tinkermon just looked at her and motioned into the air as if pointing at a picture. "Remember that small insect Digimon we saw on the way up here? That thing."

"Those don't look tough, we'll probably be fine then." Yumeko noted.

Lana giggled, "Sure, sure. Fine you'll be. Just be careful of what else might be hiding in that forest. Well, with the three of you I'm sure you can handle anything under Ultimate level. And the only ones of those that show up in this server are the ones that came to rest in the lake and the spring. Her hand rested on Ranamon's head and rubbed it. "Either way, you guys have a location and I have my owed favor in the future. Back to the water Ranamon!" The girl exclaimed before practically running off.

Ranamon looked worried, "W-wait! Lana! I'm sorry about her!" The Digimon mentioned to the group before chasing her partner.

Tinkermon snickered a bit, "I'm glad that's not my partner."

"Oh my, looks like we need to check out that waterfall!" Yumeko said, quickly walking off with her hands in her pocket.

"H-hey! Yumeko! How dare you!" Tinkermon said, holding on to her partner as she briskly walked off.

---

Soon enough, when everyone decided to show up at the forest entrance, they stared at the entrance.



Yumeko spoke up, "This reminds me of a game... Hope we don't get lost in here." She mentioned. "Or maybe just one of those dungeons in an RPG or something?" She muttered to herself.

Tinkermon looked visibly confused. "Are Pee Gee?" She continued to scratched her head. "Sounds weird."

As the two talked, something crossed their vision... A Dokunemon! "Hey! You!" The creature looked shocked and quickly turned to them before making a weird screeching noise and running off into the forest. "Damn, that thing's fast."

"Marie!!" Luna said, recoiling from the blow she blocked with her weapon. It easily pushed her back a bit, though she kept her feet planted on the ground. "Damn you.... Magnus Malleus." Luna about muttered. She wasn't even considering how much she's been switching between her weapons. She was about to charge, but noticed the flames coming from the dragon's mouth. "So afraid of losing by your own merit you have to take a hostage? If it can even understand me. So be it, I'll end this. Scutum." A large shield of light appeared on her left arm, tall enough to cover her body, and wide enough to protect her sides. Both it and the hammer were light enough to where they didn't emcumber her movement but didn't lack in power or defense. She started to move toward the creature, ready to knock the creature unconscious as soon as she got close. Her strength was dwindling though, so it would be the end of the rope for her soon.

Katherine Lindall

"There's a fine line between brave and stupidity... However, I'd say I've more than stepped into the Nemean Lion's den before and came out unscathed. You don't look so feral though, so I'm sure we'll get along." Katherine said, eyeing the creature before her up and down, making a note about Meowka's comment of being a hero, followed by the cat grabbing her hand and saying something negative to the woman in front of them. Katherine sighed a bit but decided to make a follow up.

"She's cute isn't she? I find it hard to believe someone so cute could scare off a bear." She grabbed the cat's head and held it close in a short hug as the group of dolls did their best to get Maoin over the window carefully... Somehow succeeding. "So I'm fairly safe." That said, she couldn't keep her eyes off one thing of the woman in front of them. "That said, perhaps later you, I and those abs of yours could talk a bit more." She added unconsciously moving her free hand to the Chimera's stomach to feel up the muscles.

As the creature launched itself again, Luna knew this was her chance. Luna chanted and created a shield behind her. She quickly dodged out of the way as it rammed into the barrier. It cracked greatly, but held albeit barely. This gave Luna enough time to land a hit at it's head. A heavy overhand strike. After, she had time to pull back her weapon and give another strike to the side of the thing's head. "Hey, Marie. Have you figured out that riddle yet?" Luna gave a short chant again and her weapon changed back into a greatsword. She didn't really have time to get another strike in, but she was prepared for the creatures next... If it wasn't too tired yet. "Or do you know this thing's weak point?"

Katherine Lindall

"Take it easy for a little bit Meowka, ok?" Katherine said as she released Meowka's collar. "You probably aren't going to like this much, but you're a strong girl right?" With that, the puppeteer opened the nearby window that the Chimera and Maoin were visible from. She cleared her voice a bit to talk over to them. "Hey there gorgeous, mind letting my little sweetie there in your claws go? I'm Katherine and these dolls are like my children and a sort of extension of myself." She asked and informed as she summoned some of her dolls to the ground in the courtyard and they walked over to Maoin. "I'll have my dolls carry the girl out if you'd be so kind as to guide them. We can give you a good meal if you help, maybe let me look over your body too." The woman teased a bit, but they could feed another mouth couldn't they?

It didn't cut as much as she had hoped, still, it was better than with a real dragon. She pulled her weapon out just in time to get smacked in the chest by the beast's tail. She lost grip of the weapon and it disappeared into nothing. As she recovered, she chanted, "Pilum" after which a spear appeared the Knightess' hand. One just suitable enough for throwing. It wasn't all too demanding to summon these weapons. Not really.

Outside that, the dragon shot a fireball at the two. Nothing too difficult to deal with. After making sure she was close enough to Marie, she chanted, "Aegis!" Erecting a small barrier around the two, more than protecting them from the fireball. As soon as the fire dissipated, Luna took the chance to launch the javelin at the wyrm's head, most specifically at the mouth, hopefully doing some internal damage. "Malleus Magnus." She spoke as soon as the spear left her hands. Reptiles had annoying scales and this one a thick body. Might as well crush the damned thing. If not it's head, than it's legs. It'd be difficult to move without those. Well, she'd put up a shield if needed, or go for whatever was more accessable if she could.

Katherine Lindall and Eith

Katherine just sighed at Meowka, "Maybe I should just lock you up down here." Katherine said before grabbing the cat by the collar. "Either way, we're done down here. Let's get out of her before I decide to put you in chains." The Puppeteer practically dragged the cat back up the steps if she didn't go along with it. Once out of the pits of hell, the teacher asked, [color=green]"So, I'm going to assume you want to read that book. I think I'm going to look down this hallway, we've not been this way yet, and I'm curious if there are any spirits around.

Eith stood around Miren, ready to defend her in the worst case. If that Knightess was attack, there might be something else around... "Oh, right. I forgot to tell Sorcha, but her cat was with a Chimera. Safe though, so I think she'll be fine. Maybe I'll try interacting with her." Around this time, one of her dolls moved into sight of the Chimera and Maoin.

Solana Lightsword

Sol was excited with how fast Sorcha was going... Until a bug splatted off the top of her head. Luckily, there was no actual splatter on her. Her hands were holding tight to Sorcha's horns. They stopped to grab Sorcha's weapon and then on top of the castle. That was fun. "Can we do that again sometime!?" The girl looked down and over at the fight going on below. "Is that Luna fighting down there? Yea! It is! Go Luna!!!"

Digimon: Tamer's Bureau

Yumeko face plammed for Swimmon. They had a job to do didn't they? "Let's save that for after we investigate some more. Though, we should ask around a bit." She sighed a bit but looked to the Gabumon, "We're with the Tamer's Bureau, we've been tasked into looking into the grieviances between the Gomamon and Gabumon. It seems the Gomamon think you Gabumon have been purposely weakening the lake water."

"Eh? Weakening the water? We wouldn't do that. We don't want those aquatic digimon to get sick... Actually, I think our water has been affected too." The Gabumon mentioned scratching his head. "It's hard to tell though. If you want to go in an ask around you can." It added, while motioning them inside. Once inside, they'd notice it had a notably Japanese feel about it, just like the outside. Yumeko just ignored it and looked at the guests. A Gatomon, Agumon, a large... Yeti? "I've got work to do, just ask if you need help."

As the Gabumon left, a familiar voice filled the gap. "If it ain't my bureau buddies! I didn't expect you all here!" A girl appeared with a Japanese style bathrobe on along with a blue fish-like girl.

"But you were the one that got us a boat, Lana..."

"Pfft, details. Anyhow, do I have some news for you. The kind me decided to ask around while we were taking a soak. For the small price of a small favor in the future, I think I know where you should check next!" She put her hands on her hips, waiting for the others to figure out their plan... "Scratch that, I'll just tell you so you can owe me that favor anyhow. She leaned in to the group and spoke softly. "Well, I've heard that in the Bamboo Forest near here, there's been an irregularly high amount of Dokunemon... You might have seen some already. The Gabumon don't pay much attention so they probably haven't thought of it as much of anything... Well, I think you should check there. I also heard there's a waterfall far in the back, so it might be worth checking out one way or the other." She stood there, looking proud of herself.

"The hell is this thing?" Luna questioned, having never seen that type of thing before. It was... Different. A dragon-snake? Something of the sort. "Well, we can worry about details later... Lux Gladii Magni." After her chant, a greatsword appeared in her hands and the creature jumped at her. She wasn't sure how much damage she'd do to the creature, but she wasn't going to do it with her normal sword at this point. These weapons of light she created seemed to have an effect. "Marie, move!" Luna said as she grabbed the demon's hand, rested her blade on her shoulder and pulled her off to the side, the two of them dodging the beast's lunge. She took the opportunity to charge at the beast and chop into it.

Katherine Lindall, Eith the Shellagh and Solana

"Thank you Meowka, good girl." Katherine said as she patted the kitten on the head with one hand and took the object with the other. "Good girls get rewarded... Well, later, I don't really have anything right now. Think of it this way, the sooner we get this stuff together and help that hound out, the sooner we get out of here... Since you seem so keen on it." That said, Miren and said hound were already here.

"Oh, before you leave Sorcha, I believe one of my dolls found your missing cat. If you follow this little one, it will lead you to the general area." The Puppetmaster said, pointing to a doll near the dragon's feet. How it got there so quickly... Either way, "And it seems your valiant knight is in trouble. Saving that demon it seems. She'll probably be fine... Probably."

She shrugged and turned to Miren, "Anyhow, I've found a few things. To make it short.... There was an insectoid race they subjugated and mentally destroyed before Eith's clan... And supposing her group was next, they are just a demon clan or something of the sort. The there's this small tome that Meowka so graciously found. It's yours to read." Katherine said as she handed the thing over to the bunny.

Eith looked slightly concerned when Katherine mentioned she was really a demon but remained silent otherwise.

Sol grabbed on to Sorcha's horns but looked down. "Luna's strong enough to take care of herself, right?" The girl said, unsure of herself. She'd never seen the Knightess fight, but she fought a dragon and lived so she was pretty strong right?

"This must be something fairly big." Luna commented to herself. Whatever it was, wasn't nearby... She was made deftly assured of this when she heard Marie scream. Her body moved without a thought. She was sure she'd be able to see whatever it was before it made it's way past her, but she was quite wrong. Luckily, it wasn't too far away. At least, at the speed her legs carried her. Once there, she made sure to put herself between Marie and whatever it was that found itself there. "I'm here, Marie!"

Eith the Shellagh

Since Miren seemed fairly sure about Luna and Marie, Eith merely nodded and agreed. They walked back the way that Katherine and the cat went... Though she picked up on another smell as they got closer. She wasn't sure what. It was familiar and not in a bad way so it was probably fine. When Miren asked her to light the way, she pondered how to do this for a couple seconds before noticing a stick on the wall. A torch was it? She grabbed it and snorted a bit of fire on it, catching it before handing it over to Miren. "There.

Katherine Lindall and Solana

"Alright then!" Sol said, grabbing Sorcha's horns just in case. She was ready for whatever Sorcha was going to do. It's been a while since anyone picked her up like this. It was kind of fun already.

Katherine meanwhile was almost flabbergasted with her familiar. "What would I do for you?" Was that much really worth rewarding beyond the utterance of "Thank you?" She held the fire torch toward Meowka so she could see the cat's face... That was a quite the smirk she had. Annoyed, Katherine answered, "Well, I'd give you dinner later when you're hungry. As usual. Though if you're hiding something integral to this journey from me, I can just give that dinner away to someone else. I'm sure that a dragon can easily eat a cat's share." She added, pointing over to roughly where Sorcha and Sol are.

Before Luna left Marie alone, she told her two thing. "If you get attack and can't handle it, just yell for me and I'll come running. And if you say that you'll have it solved, you better have that riddle's answer by time I come back." She said with a confident smile, before leaving.

"Aegis." Luna chanted as she moved through the area, keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary... Well, that was a lot though she was looking for something not quite so dead. When she came upon the impression in the grass, she stopped a second and kneeled down to investigate. This was definitely something big... "What's this? A snake? Medusa hasn't risen from the grave I hope. I don't have a mirror." She noted that the impression led toward a giant tree. "Guess I'll have to investigate."

Eith the Shellagh

"Yes." Eith nodded and was about ready to walk off when she stopped and remembered something. There were two others with them weren't there? "Oh, the demon and Luna. They are still outside." She'd follow Miren regardless, but she was still curious if Miren wanted to worry about them. They were probably alright though.

Katherine Lindall and Solana

Sol's eyes went wide for a few seconds as Sorcha lifted her up. "Woah!" The girl cried out. She was a bit surprised on the way up, but once up... It was cool! She had those horns right in front of her to be careful of though. "Yea, sure! OH! But, well... Umm, I kind of forgot you were sick. Are you okay?" Sol had to ask, looking down at Sorcha's face.

Meanwhile Katherine was busy sorting through pages. "There are plenty of papers here... Lot of them are garbage though, 'Recipe for Insect Soup', 'Measuring Body Sizes Through Sight Alone'.... Though 'Wandering Paths of Nomadic Demon Tribes' might be something of interest. I've yet to see notes over the mutt's treatments.. Meowka, can you be a dear and help me look for them? My eyes are having a difficult time adjusting right now, thank you." Considering it was a "success" with Eith, there were bound to be a good number of notes.
