Ben was yelling at Chase to get over towards him by the door. He looked over and around briefly as he realized just then that Leah wasn’t with them inside the dome, its shape just allowed for the sound of her voice to carry towards every person in there as if she had been. Unfortunately for him, however, there was already a small crowd around the tiny opening, and having every person stand around one small spot that could lead to them all falling was a horrible idea when all the flyers save the newborn fae were off in the distance already. It didn't help when Amelie and Danni came barreling past people, making Chase's heart skip a beat as he worried that in their carelessness they might actually shove someone off the ledge and overboard. Somehow he doubted the sand dunes would offer a good enough cushion to not kill whoever was so unlucky. His attention was called over towards Vicky as she called out about his addition to the Dome's Exterior. ”It's a land of stories, so I borrowed some legs from an old Russian Tale Percival's mom would tell us. Figured it fit the theme.” There was a grin on his face most suitable towards mischief.
The grin was quickly swept off his face as he saw the glimmer of something off in the distance. Something shooting straight towards Ben. The very shadows he was currently touching now engulfed his body in a smoke, dodging the several random items that had come rocketing where he had been kneeling, before reappearing just before Ben as the shiny object made itself known. A sword stabbed straight through his body, the air knocked out of his lungs from the impact as he took a sharp breath and looked down at the damage. His stomach felt hot, and the pain stung, but as he assessed the damage he turned to look over his shoulder and smile at Ben. ”No big deal Benny Babe. I think it missed the important stuff.” Never mind that the only important stuff to Chase was who he was currently looking at as he spoke the words. ”See?” Chase tapped the handle of the sword, having hoped it would springboard somehow and make a boing sound, but it didn't. The world was falling apart, the Dome was damaged, the dog was lost, and Gideon was laying on the floor lifeless, shadowless. But Ben was ok.
Leah ran over to him with more care than any family member had ever shown him. Ripping out the sword from his stomach as she began to weave some Nordic magic into his wound. Chase couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. ”Hey, shame it missed my kidney. Then maybe it would've been The Sword in the Kidney Stone.” His comment punctuated by a grunt of pain as he places his hand over the open wound. ”Dome. Fix. Got it. Hey Millie, you said to let you know if I'm in pain? Well, just a tad bit here if you wanna lend a hand as I patch this place up.” His hand was still pressed against where the sword had been, his other touched the floor as he knelt back down onto one knee to snag some shadows. Chase closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, trying to weave the shadows into the cracks and crevices made by the barrage of bullshit, a sharp pain met him mid breath, and when he opened them up his powers exploded.
Shadows filled too much, darkness overtook the Dome and burst outwards destroying every last bit of the structure as it crumbled back into sand. It reminded him a lot of those stones he'd find as a child. Red and coarse, and with the smallest bit of pressure they'd dissolve into sand beneath his fists. The floor fell beneath him, beneath all of them, they were plummeting to certain death, it was all his fault. Which version would he be? Which Mordred? Which Baba Yaga? Was he a Knight to save others? The Witch who aided Heros? Or the traitor? The villain? Darkness consumed every portion of them as his shadows outstretched beyond the dome and engulfed everyone in a sphere of pitch cold darkness. He wouldn't be the reason they died, Knights who stumble had to get back up. He owed it to Ben, and Vicky. To Danni to show them he was right. Chase took the darkness that surrounded the party and collapsed it all into a singular point, sweeping up every person along its path. When the darkness showed up again, the entire team from within the dome appeared from inside the shadow of the Dwarf that aimed his spear at Glimpse. Standing behind him as darkness over shadowed the pair and the rest surrounded him. ”Oh you brought some handcuffs! Wonderful, I always wanted to try a little good cop bad cop role-play. I'll start, I can be the bad cop.” Chase stood, holding the sword that had been stabbed within him in his hand.

”Quel culot, ce type ! Who does ‘e t’ink ‘e is? ‘uh?! Tellin’ people what to do, what t’ey should be called, Je ne comprends même pas pourquoi il est là. I mean, ‘e just showed up out of t’e blue, actin’ like ‘e knows everybody when ‘e don’t know no one from a paint can! And to t’ink t’at ‘e would try and ground you.

If ‘e liked strategy t’en ‘e’d actually be good at it. And anot’er t’ing! – Perce?” Dorian had finally noticed the lack of hand holding on to his. Hearing Percy’s scream as he began to fall down away from him, careening straight towards the ground below. It was clear Marlena had tried…something, but whatever it was, she wasn’t able to snag Percy. Maybe he was fallin too fast, maybe her telekinetic reach wasn’t that far, Dorian didn’t know. But as he turned around, floating in air to figure out the best way to catch Percy without causing more damage than help, Andy had taken to the rescue with quick reflexes, and even quicker thinking. She had caught Percy, and Dorian breathed a sigh of relief a moment too soon before something knocked them both off the both and sent them spiralling downwards, Andy flipping her position to take the brunt of the fall. He could hear Danni shouting towards them, see Luna beneath them waiting to catch someone as if the fall wouldn’t somehow break her arms, and all Dorian could think was to quickly yell back at Andy ”Do NOT do a barrel roll! Merde! Ce n'est pas parce que tu as neuf vies que j'en ai autant!” He grumbled to himself as his mind worked out a solution.
Dorian reached out with his powers, feeling the trace amounts of Andy’s left over on the skateboard as he tried to amplify it and use the electromagnetic field himself. Hands made of static that looked straight out of a horror movie began to rise from the metallic portions of the board and gripped onto Andy's back, pulling her closer and onto the skateboard itself as it magnetized onto her. With that, Dorian began flying towards them, arms pressed to his sides as he shot like a rocket at the quickest he could go before going astral and colliding in with the skateboard, taking possession of it. There was a faint purple glow around it before it settled down and began flying again, lifting both Percy and Andy through the air and towards the mountain. Normally he’d save materialistic possessions for things like pranks, but this seemed like a good opportunity to use his powers to save someone instead. If the damned thing had a speaker or some form of electronics in it, he could at least talk to the two of them, but unfortunately the board lacked any way of communicating with the pair so Dori settled on saving them now and chastising Percy for letting go later.
The nerve of that guy! Why he's even here is beyond me Just because you have 9 lives doesnt mean i do

Sam listened as Millicent began to debrief them on what she had learned. It didn't seem to amount to much, yet also it gave quite a few more details that they needed to cross off players from within the clue board. Richard was a doddering old man with the memory befit his age, and seemed to have either no idea how to lie appropriately or was simply just mixing up his own reality with fantasy. Another thing that could easily be chalked up to his age. One thing stood clear however, that was that Ralph had the right of it to suspect Lena of being Renee's nominater. She certainly would've had her hands on the information about the paternity test and more than likely could send the cryptic message from somewhere to Renees phone about it. Something clicked in Sam's brain. ”Do you two still have her phone? I want to see if the number who messaged her matches alongside the one that messaged me. That could point us closer to a direction given whoever Tony was contacted by was a potentially separate person, but if this one is also distinct then it gives me an idea on what might be going on here.”
Sam began removing his pants, the white button up shirt hanging low enough to fully cover his boxers so that nothing was being shown as he swapped them out for a pair of black slim dress pants. ”Either way, we can tie one Nominee to one Nominer, and we can assume that that tie runs deeper beyond that given the amount of knowledge that person has. Some of Miguel's equipment was missing too…if we can locate it maybe we can figure out more about what's going on. He may have caught something in the background of his video or in an audio recording that was incriminating and caused him to meet the end he did. Or…there is always the option he died by accident doing something reckless and when someone found him they wanted to keep panic to a minimum after another death had already happened and so they hid the body.”

Barty offered Cassie nothing more than a sideways glance as she interposed herself between him and Jake. She talked about heads in asses yet she herself didn’t even know who it was that kept her health at bay. The reason she even still stood. ”You thought you would earn some approval by doing what exactly? You say that I fear new discovery, when that could be further from the truth. Learning the secrets of magic has nothing to do with risking ones life nor those of the lives around them. Only a selfish and self centered witch would dare to think like that. To be a witch and have this power is to understand community and the practice. It is not leaping off of building on a broomstick in hopes that you can fly. I do not care if you believe me to be deserving of your approval or not, because that was never an item that I was seeking.” Barty walked next to Cassie, shoulder to shoulder with only a breath of space between them as he faced Jake. ”Oh, and while I’m at it, I was the one who healed your wounds and ensured no infections took place before a magical means could mend it. I was also the one who brought forth a witch with the power to heal even in a manner of which I knew neither of us would agree to fully. But I did so because aid was needed and I asked for no token in exchange. That is what a witch does. That is how community works. And That is why I hold respect for Winthrop and her abilities, because she understands the work needed to be done in order to master the craft.” Barty’s tone remained neutral the entire transaction. His voice never once raising or wavering as he spoke to Cassie. There were a myriad of things that he had considered doing, ways to tarnish her name and image before all those peers she seemed to hold dear. But in the end he decided she wasn’t even worth the spells.
Barty made note of Cal’s attempt at interference, and he would be lying if he said he ever wanted to take the draconic witch on in a fight. He cared not for his ire, so when he left to be by Willow's side, he was more than grateful and decided it best to not even reply. His back still turned to Cal, he offered these few words. ”We have ways, means, and magic far greater than you are aware of Cal. Should Nicky wish it I believe we have the means to rid the world of that book without any of us being injured. I, however, would hate to use that means and thus offer a new avenue. Allow me to aid you in the books destruction and recovery of knowledge. My magics twist fate and bend the world to my favours when allotted the time and materials. It could aid you in what you seek, but you will owe me for the aid and for the danger you have placed my dear Nicky in.” his attention now fully on Jake, both posture and demeanor indicating it to all around, he spoke to him and him alone. If you want to protect my brother then never utter that name again. He is Nicholas to you unless he deems otherwise. Beyond that, we have a pact to make.” Jake had agreed to make the pact, and Barty wouldn’t allow him to change his mind later. He took Jake’s hand, the chain on it breaking, clasping it in a Roman grip as he began to encant.
”Le snàthainn an dàn agus an lagh naomh
Tha mi a’ ceangal do làmhan bho bhith a’ dèanamh barrachd
Gun chron le smuain, gun chron le gnìomh, Gun chron ann am facal, gun sìol cronail
Leis an Talamh agus an Teine, a’ Ghaoth agus a’ Mhuir, Cha bhean do dhorchadas ris a-nis
Na chuireas tu a-steach cumaidh e nad shlighe, Ceangailte ann an tost, oidhche is latha.
Le corda toil agus sgiath an t-Solais, Tha do chron air a stad le còir naomh. Chan ann airson peanasachadh, chan ann le fuath, Ach airson a dhàn a dhìon agus a sheulachadh.
Mar sin a chanas mi e, mar sin bidh e.”
As Barty spoke, golden threads began to wind around both their arms and hands, a binding ritual for a severe pact, and one he did not use lightly. A ring of magic encircled the boys with his words etching into the floor in light before finally it all coalesced and bound itself to Jake's dog tags that had been around his neck. The magic shifting it into a dog collar as the tags were now affixed to the leather wrapped around his neck. The chains and spell that bound Jake fell, dissolving into aether before Barty removed his hand from Jake. ”The bargains struck. I hope the others prove me wrong, truly, and that this pact will remain meaningless. But I am nothing if not a cautious man when it comes to my kins survival.”
“By the thread of destiny and sacred law I bind your hands from doing more No harm in thought, no harm in deed, no harm in word, no harmful seed By Earth and Fire, Wind and Sea, Darkness shall not touch you now What you sow shall remain upon your path, Bound in silence, night and day. By the cord of will and the shield of Light, Your harm is halted by sacred right. Not for punishment, not out of hate, But to protect and seal his fate. So I speak it, so it shall be.”
Whatever it was that was going on inside of Andy’s head when he tossed his board towards her, Chase didn’t know. All he could tell was that she was clearly nervous about even trying to do this feat of flight, especially with his own board. When she finally spoke, telling him she was worried about damaging his board as she experimented with it, Chase couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He understood the risks, and while the board meant a great deal to him, so did helping Sabine. Though it seemed that she was starting to calm down a bit, he still would rather a native look at her condition to see what exactly is going on with this damned story. Beyond that…omelettes and all that. He still remembered when he tried experimenting a bit, though his was meant to be less dangerous, a small push on a small boy against the shower walls, the panic attack that ensued after wasn’t expected, but without that they wouldn’t have been able to grow past where they are now. Sometimes eggs needed to be broken, sometimes you had to risk your favorite possession to help another. It happens. "Yeah I dunno who this Mags guy is, but your parentage doesn't determine what you can or can't do. You determine that. Aaaaand for right now, me too. You got this, just...try not to fuck it up." Once he said his piece, he walked away, taking away the choice for Andy to give him back his board immediately and chicken out, besides, it appeared another resident of the stands had wanted to talk to him. Vicky tapped him on his shoulder, a quiet hm escaping him as he turned to see the now older blonde woman gesturing towards the outside of the structure for a private chat. What was it with these people and talking privately? Every one of them seemed to want a one on one when they could simply speak to each other amongst the room.
He did agree however, following her towards the exit of the structure before she began to…chastise him? Chase wasn’t exactly sure what to call it. It felt like the same form of concern that Ben had shown for him a few times since they’d met, with equal parts disappointment if he were to guess as well. He couldn’t help but smirk as she spoke to him, trying so hard to hide his smile as he rolled his eyes and averted his gaze to the horizon and those that had already lifted off. If there’s one thing I hate, it's copycats. Chase tried to choke back a laugh, if only she knew how on the nose she was already. His entire existence from his experimentation downwards was made in the shadow of the one who made this dome that they currently resided in. But she was right. ”Please, you don’t have to worry about me ok? I am one hundo an original. If I become a villain and turn against you guys, it’ll be in a much better way than that Cadie ever did. Guarantee it. But…I get your drift, so no worries I’ll…think on it.” Chase knew Ben would appreciate the change in name as well. Danni’s voice cut out through the conversation behind them, not like it was difficult given that the structure was a perfect echo chamber for his already naturally loud voice. ”Those two went flyin off towards the Mountain. Figure other’s are gonna foll–” Luna/Glimpse began to state their disagreements with the way things were already working. ”Oh please, I beg you to punch me. I’ve been dying for a feeling of home. Maybe I’ll be able to tell who you hit more like, my mother or my father. But if you have a problem with how things are being done around here then overy up and take charge. It’s your realm, your world, but not your rules you got it? Don’t toss out vague plans expecting others to follow what you’re thinking. Give the deets or don’t complain. You wanted a party to go and stay, fine, but those who were meant to stay and protect are the best equipped to do so, and those that left were the ones able to get there the quickest. I’d move us all through shadows but I can’t. Their fortress has a barrier keeping teleporters out, I tested it already with Danni’s vomit. It’s part of why I wanted Percival to stay behind, because his powers wont work against them right now. So do me a favour, Chase reached into his bag and pulled out a rainbow colored lollipop that was shaped like a dick. ”Eat a dick and calm down.” He exhaled, clearly annoyed as he began to make his way back inside. Looking at April with a flat look of annoyance. ”Power down Katara, it’s just Vicky. How did you guys ever win the Contest is beyond me.”
The ground began to solidify beneath their feet, sand hardening as Leah started to make the structure ready for movement, it started to slide, slipping against the sand before finally the sound of sloshing stopped and the only open doorway showed what looked to be the clear sky ahead. They were flying, on a rock, with no windows, and one door. Chase felt unsteady, he looked towards Ben worried about what this might do. The space was still large, but now there was barely any escape for them. ”Sorry Millie, I uh…don’t actually know what your powers are at all. I just figured it was a 50/50 shot that you could fly some way shape or form. Buuuut I can answer what your codename is. It was Lionel, one of the more favoured and famous Knights of his time.” Chase hated that they were flying blind. There was no way shape or form that Leah could see where she was going, especially with no earth to navigate herself with via contact. He took in a deep breath, trying to steady himself for something larger than he had ever made before. ”Sis, I’m about to take control of this ship ok? We cannot be flying blind like this but we also can't risk you losing control mid flight to give us a few windows. So…I’m gonna take the reigns, you work on the windows and I’ll work on getting us there.” Chase placed his hands down onto the floor of the structure, pulling the shadows from beneath it up to meet the bottom as the shadows from within began to pool out from the only opening and coat the underside of the dome. A pair of large shadowy chicken legs formed, adhering itself to the rocky hovel and they began to sprint full speed ahead on a collision coarse with the very mountain they had been trying to get to. Chase wasn’t about to admit he lost control of the construct, how could he? He didn’t even know where they were going because they were blind. ”Windows! We need windows before we crash into something blindly. Fuck man, how the hell did you plan to fly this thing without any visuals?”

As the danger began to subside, slowly but surely Barty’s cold and callous self began to creep back in. Upon the sleeping princess decidedly asking ‘what happened?’ He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. ”She’s being too kind. What happened was that you tampered with magic you did not understand and almost got your entire Coven killed in the process of it. If you’re going to act like an idiotic toddler then I would ask that you please not do it around my only living relative. If anything were to happen to him there would be no place in any of these gods forsaken planes that you could hide where I wouldn’t chase you until the ends of your days die out in a torturous cacophony of pain.” Barty was very well equipped at multitasking, typically it was used when hosting for multiple partners at once, but in this case it was to aid Connie in medicine while spitting vitriol to Cassie, after all a biting tongue from him was a free action. Connie's magic slipped into Willow, but it acted strangely, twisting in a way he hadn’t seen nor that he could fully understand. It seemed that instead of healing Willow, she had made it so that magic itself could not aid her, only natural remedies. He gave Connie the same look she had given him when he accidentally poisoned the damned moth. They were even.
Barty’s attention from Connie’s odd speech was one of curiosity, but when Jake had encanted, speaking not only his mother tongue, but calling Nicky his original name, something snapped within him. He got up from the ground with ferocity, quickly making his way towards Jake as herbs and stones left his person and wound and burned with such finesse it was as if watching a master caster at work. A magic circle appeared beneath Jake, and with each word Barty spoke and with every ingredient he had added, more and more sigils appeared around the inside of the circle until finally chains sprung forth from the floor and manacled the boy. A dog collar appearing around his throat as magic bound him to the place where he stood so that he could not move if he even dreamed of it. Anger burned inside of Barty, but he knew his brother was fond of this idiot. ”You live only because of my grace and that of my brothers, do you understand me?! But that infraction you just committed must have consequences, if you wish to every move again you will make a pact with me. Magically binding and sealed in blood. You will not harm my brother in any way. You will not allow harm to come to him in any way. If you are the result or reason as to why any harm so much as touches him, then may you experience his pain ten fold.”

”We had originally been hoping to get access into the router for the wifi itself so that we could see in this place visited which sites. That would give us more info not only on who had hired the Escorts as Maids, but also could help to see if any other shady sites had been visited, like finding out how to hide a body or clean blood, or who know’s what. Unfortunately She wouldn’t give up the router location or access to it. But she did tell us that she was the one who had hired them herself, as Rhi just said, for the sake of trying to get rid of Lawrence and an inheritee as well as from this whole fiasco for the future. She doesn’t seem like the type to kill though, but to blackmail? That feels a lot more her style if you ask me. She’s always off in a corner of a room, left alone and unattended, and on her laptop. She had whole files on Lawrence, but more importantly that means she just sits there, listens, and takes in information to file away on her computer for later use. I’m not saying she’s the one that blackmailed us, but if she is then I wouldn’t be surprised. Beyond that, I spoke to the one who sponsored Miguel, she seems just as clueless about his whereabouts as we were until earlier this morning. I don’t think she’s the one who told me about the location if that’s the case, but it’s possible that Lena could have done it. As to why? Again I don’t know…it makes sense that Maids are the eyes and ears of this place but Lena seems to keep her ear on the ground for the things that have her interest.” Sam had made his way over towards his case, searching for something to wear for the dinner tonight, pulling out pieces until he’d decided on an outfit.
He began to take his shirt off, tossing it off to the side as he put on a fresh shirt, beginning to undo his belt before he looked up back towards Millicent. ”What about you two? You guys said you found something as well but needed more privacy. Well, you got it so…what's up?” Sam started buttoning up his new white dress shirt, taking each button with care, his pants precariously hanging as his belt sat undone, he rolled his shirt sleeves up to just below his elbows before decidingly grabbing his black pair of dress pants. He put them next to him on the bed before reaching over and snagging a long thin black tie from his case and loosely tying it around his neck and under the collar before undoing the top button of the shirt and putting the ties knot just beneath it.

Demi had gotten off the counter after a certain point, putzing around the kitchen while Marco cooked for everyone, the aroma’s wafting over him and making him even more hungry than he was already. He began to rifle through a series of drawers, eventually stumbling upon a pair of scissors tucked away inside one. Zeke’s shirt was nice, and he loved how it smelled like him, but it wasn’t exactly his style and had way too much length for either of the boys to wear. So, Demi took the shirt off, measuring roughly around where he wanted to crop the shirt off so that if Zeke ever got the shirt back he would get to show off a bit of his body while doing so. Though he doubted Zeke would get it back, he’d just have to give Zeke one of his own shirts. A trade for each to keep and remember the other with while they were apart. Demi began the careful cuts, his tongue stuck out the side of his mouth, as he began snipping off the bottom quarter of the shirt so that the new hem lay just atop the hem of his pants, but if his hands ever raised, the shirt would expose his stomach. That was much more comfortable, he thought to himself as he tucked the remaining shirt scrap into his pocket for later use. Finally it seemed that Dinner was ready, and Demi groaned with happiness. ”Ugh, finally. Spent all this time teasing me with your juicy meat and now I can finally sit down and enjoy it.” He said with a playful grin as he leaned over the counter and began to ring the dinner bell. A sudden chill running through him as he felt his hairs stand on end and he quickly looked around towards every window and exit in sight. He felt as though he was being watched, the second time he had had this feeling that day.
”You’re psyching yourself up Howell, you saw the lake yourself, it was calm and fine.” Demi whispered to himself as he tried to calm down a little bit. Sure there was the chance that it had been bubbling and they just didn’t see it or notice it. Or perhaps it only bubbled when he was right about to attack and some out of the murky depths. Who knew, he didn’t, but stressing over it wasn’t going to help anyone. Still…Demi pocketed the scissors, better safe than sorry he told himself. Zeke came in and gave him a kiss. ”I was the taste tester, I let the chef do all the real cooking. Besides, I know how to make a meal or two ok?” Demi kissed Zeke’s cheek back, running his hand down Zeke’s arm softly as he smiled. ”You’re fine Z. I get it, she’s your sis and you feel the need to be protective. I’m just here to tell you when you’re being a little overbearing and should spend more time with me instead.” He had a mischievous grin about him as he said that before motioning back into the kitchen where Marco was. ”C’mon, lets go get some grub. I’m starving and that meanie in there refused to let me eat before everyone else. I only wanted to have like…five burgers. Is that too much to ask?”
Everyone kept telling them that they couldn’t move Sabine, they couldn’t touch Sabine, and Dorian was already agitated with the fact that he was helpless to help in this situation. The constant reminders pushing him more and more to want to call for action in some capacity. Glimpse stated she was blooming, changing into a fae and couldn’t be tampered with while they did so. She also said that the mountain was their destination and that Vicky needed the aid of the people there, yet Sabine couldn’t move, but Vicky was dying, all of it felt like the world's worst trolley problem, and Dorian had always been one to try and find the smart ass solution to it where no one dies in the end. ”I’m with Perce on t’is one. We’re gonna ‘ave to split the party if we want to ‘elp everyone ‘ere. Beanie can’t move and Vicky needs our ‘elp as well. We can’t just sit and wait and see ‘ow long eit’er of t’em can last.” He watched as Leah poured more magic into Sabine, helping to ease the pain as best she could. His heart sank slightly at the touching sight. The ways in which Leah had grown as a person, the way in which she was so caring and protective now with her skills. She learned magic and used it to help aid others, no blasting spells or things to harm, just things to take care of those she loved. Dorian was surrounded by magical tutors and friends, and yet here he was without a single spell in hand to help anyone here. He clenched his teeth as he tried not to think about it, walls coming up and surrounding them as shade overtook the area and blocked out the sinking Sun. Dorian blinked, then realized it was Leah at work once again, preparing them for the worst of it.
Chase spoke up, offering his two cents into all of this, acting as if he knew everybody and was so sure of everything they could do. Dorians teeth found purchase onto his cheek as he tried hard not to say anything, before finally sighing and rolling his eyes as he made his way over towards Marlena, trying to ignore the commands that Chase was giving, and the paper he’d given to Vicky. He would ask about it later, but for now he was ready to head out. Dorian looked over at Marlena, nodding as they mentioned they were ready to head out. He wasn't about to leave Percy alone with his former bully however, so he grabbed Percy's hand before looking pointedly at Chase. ”Percy is mote t'an capable of decidin’ if ‘e wants to go or stay. And ofcourse ‘e's gonna be comin’ wit’ me.” The same shimmer of telekinetic energy that had wrapped Percy many times before, now enveloped him again as Dorian used it to lift the pair and make his way out of the construct that Leah had made. Flying out towards the mountain that was wandering the desert. ”T'e nerve.”

Chase would have to explain the names and meanings to Andy some other time. Maybe once they were all settled down and turning in for the night, he could finally decided to answer her question. He’d lie to some extent of course, telling her that they were the names of Knights from Ben’s kingdom that he had once employed, and that Kay was a bully all the same as he was a knight. How she would take it would be up to her, but he didn’t exactly care at the moment. If anything, it was all just a bit to him, and one he’d run into the ground until he found diamonds. She did however have some sense to ask the one person here who might know of what was happening, what's happening. Turned out being alive wasn’t the only thing that Sabine's mother was keeping from her. She was fae as well…unless her father was somehow the fae and a bug person fucked a fae person and made a fae bug…probable. He’d have to ask Sabine or her mother later somehow. Beyond all that Avalon was 100% real and he was cheesing over it big time. He could actually meet some of the Knights, or Arthur or Merlin! He could walked the storied halls that he’d spent so much time in his life looking into. What’s more, he could tell Glimpse to stick it and that they’d still use the names he chose because people can share names it wasn’t weird. Besides, perhaps pulling up into towns with names that fit a story would work better than some random names they could come up with on the fly. What? Was he supposed to try and call Andy ‘Elvira’ now? Absolutely not. Walls began to form around them, and Chase turned to look at Leah, before letting out a breath of relief when he’d seen how large she made the space. They could do with losing a few people inside of it though to help relieve a bit more so that Ben wouldn’t feel all too confined. Watching her, he saw more similarities between themselves, and he realized that this asshat may actually have a type. He hated that.
”Like I said. Don’t move unless you know what's going on. And what's going on is that we should most definitely not move her. So, here’s the game plan. Percival's right, we need to split the group up to divide and conquer. April (They/Themue aka the Laddy of the Lake), Percival, Leah (Lancelot), Ben (Galahad), Gideon (Bedivere) and I should all hang back. Everyone else should go forth and try and get to the walking mountain. Get the help of those there and see why the story needed Vicky to get there. Do Not use your real names while there.” Chase rummaged through his pack and found that his notebook and art supplies hadn’t been tampered with. He wrote down everyone's listed codenames next to their real names on a piece of paper and handed it to Vicky. Inscribed on it was ‘Andy - Kay, Danni- Gawain, Vicky - Isolde, Dorian - Emrys, Marlena - Bors, Millie - Lionel, and Glimpse - Tristan.’ ”Keep your names and the names of your teammates memorized. From what I've read the fae hate when they find out they’re the ones who have been tricked or lied to. All of you listed can fly in some way shape or form. So…fly you fools! And seek help.” Chase unclipped his skateboard from the back of his bag, tossing it over towards Andy. ”Board means more to me than you know, so dont fuck it up. You can use your lightning powers to fly with it yeah?” He didn't know a lot about heroes or villains or what classified a mutant or not. But he did know science, it was how he was able to get into the school he attended before AA. His grades waved the fees and allowed him to stay so long as he maintained his GPA. Lightning was basically one big electromagnetic phenomenon, and that same phenomenon is what was used for high speed rails and hover tech, electromagnetism. So if sparky could have enough of an imagination then perhaps she could use his board to fly with the rest.
Dorian had flown out alongside Percy, Chase figured the motherfucker was clingy as hell. That or he just really hated him. He wasn't going to sit around and worry about it though, not when things were finally deciding to look up as Sabine's screaming subsided and her form finally took shape. ”Bug people…” Chase offered quietly to himself in awe as he immediately began to poke Ben's back to see if he was going to be growing wings anytime soon. His investigation turned up nothing, save for a thorny vine that erupted from the ground and wrapped itself around Chase. Apparently her form change came with new powers, great. ”Love the new look, but I usually like a date and food before I'm tied up and whipped.” The plant didn't last long however as Sabine managed to wrangle it back and Chase took in a deep breath, noting Marlena was still entangled. He tried to use the shadows formed from the dome to free Marlena, but they barely budged an inch around her. ”Huh…maybe if I try something smaller…” He spotted Millie comforting Danni as he puked up chunks, deciding that he didn't want or need that here especially in a closed location, so he tried to move the shadows around the spew. They swallowed the vomit and vanished, but as to where he wasn't sure. The location he'd originally tried for was blocked by some form of defenses, but it wasn't here and that was all that mattered. ”So you're like…what? Double bug now?”

Dorain was so excited to be going on his first real adventure with a party! This was everything Percy had said he wanted, everything he wished to do after AA. And while Dorian mainly wanted to stay within the world of heroics, he did like the idea of heading off with his boyfriend and doing adventures like this one from time to time in between all the usual fight and fluff of superheroism. He worked hard to capture the perfect picture for their travels, using his telekinesis to snap the photos at various angles and poses until finally on the last one he snuck the kitty ear hat April had made Percy back onto his head. At first it was only hovering right above him so that in the photo he looked as if he was wearing it, not wanting to have Percy immediately take it off, he waited until just before Percy hopped over the mushrooms that he finally put it on his head fully. Giggling all the while before following right after his boyfriend into Otherworld and on their grand quest to save his future self. What Dorian hadn’t expected was the change in altitude or consistency. He was used to his fathers portals or Heimdals, ones that placed you exactly where your next step needed to be. So as his foot hit sand, he slipped back and fell hard into the dune. His hands pressing against the sides of him to help push himself back up, only to feel new fabric at the palms of his hands. ”Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod! NEW CLOTHES!!!!” Dorian twirled around inspecting himself, as the magical tote he’d brought hopped out of the bag it was in, unfurled itself, and finally fell with a heavy thud as it yanked his arm downwards and began to fill with stuff. There was a sheepish laughter as he looked over towards April, and then back at his now filled tote. ”Yeah…it’s broken I t’ink…” He would have to fully sort out and see what all made its way into his bag later, but for now -
Percy stood there, blush across his face, new outfit fit for a Greek Hero, and cat ears and a cat tail. Dorian shot towards him like a bullet, instantly playing with the cat ears as he gave them scritches behind while pinching Percy’s cheeks. ”Perce you’re adorable! Omg!!! You’re like Goose now!” Dorian gasped, his eyes sparkling with delight. ”Do the twitch? Ohmygod do you ‘ave airplane mode now? If we Gemini do I get cat ears?!” He squeaked with delight, about to move on towards the tail when suddenly Sabine shrieked in pain. It sounded not too dissimilar to when Danni ran out of a skin care product without realizing it and needing to skip the routine just to go shopping in public for it before he could continue. Dorian felt horrible, he didn’t know what to do, how to help. All of his skills and powers leaned more towards combat than first aid. Jean-Luc was barking up a storm, and Leah was using magic to help Sabine somehow. He felt small, useless at the moment, then seeing how quickly Chase went to action to help where he could, it made Dorian feel even worse. He bit his lower lip, making his way over towards Jean-Luc to try and at least help with something. He glared at Chase, standing there on his stupid staircase with his dumb ice binoculars, and felt his powers just flicker. Dorian quickly made over and picked up Jean-Luc, petting him and kissing him all over his face to try and distract the dog from Sabines pain. ”Is ok mon ami, she gonna be alright ok? Just focus on me for now and all t’ese pets you’re gettin’” It seemed to work, as suddenly his face was being peppered with slobbery kisses from the dog, making Dorian have to hold him back a little to keep himself from being too slobbered on.

Chase found himself smiling at the wild ideas that Danni was spewing out about the Haunted Tree he had been telling them all about since break. He supposed it was bound to happen, that a kid in a super hero school would develop some innate sense to know when something is of import even if its not until later on. Danni would make a good hero someday. The thought crossed his mind as a smile spread across his face before he caught himself laughing at the scenario before him. In the contest, they all hardly seemed like normal teenagers. Especially with how they handled themselves for the press, but here, watching as April bent the water right off of Danni and Amelie, he could actually see himself having some friends, beyond the one glaring at him of course. Millie seemed too concerned with whether or not they’d get caught skipping school, the way Chase figured it, they had a couple of days before classes actually started, and should they be absent it appeared the Story Magic was already working on the adults at the school so the chances they’d get caught were slim to none in his book. Not that he even cared if they did. Andy had seemed to be of the same mind, answering Millie’s concerns in a nicer way than he would’ve. His attention was brought back to the new girl, Glimpse, as she handed Ben a tarot card that had his image on it. He’d remembered the visions from the day prior, the cards and swords and what was to come, but seeing it be so tangible…it was weird. He rustled Ben’s hair, trying to make sure that he didn’t focus on that card too much. ”Shit I missed the vampire fights? Damn.” Chase clicked his tongue in annoyance before quirking an eyebrow at what Vicky had said. He hated that she called attention to his appearance, it wasn’t as if he could do anything about it, but what’s more was that it almost sounded as if she was hitting on him somehow. ”First off V, I look good with anything, the fact that I make even make this emo shit look good is testament to that. Secondly, I do have a reflection you know?” He clapped his hands once loudly to gather others attentions once Luna was done talking. Unfortunately Gideon had already decided to leave, Percival following shortly after and then April, Sabine, Millie, Leah, Dorian, and Lena. Chase audibly sighed as he looked at those who remained. Leah had made a comment about going through without answers, and that's how Chase felt at this moment.
”No it’s cool guys, let’s not make any game plans before barreling into the wonderful world of Story Magic where one wrong move could spell your death.” His tone dripping with sarcasm.”Christ on a pogo-stick. Can you believe these people? Anyways, for those of you who remain, I think Luna here brings up a good point about these rules. We need code names, one we can use to ensure we aren’t messed with by the fae of this world. I’ve taken the liberty of assigning them all already so that we aren’t spending time fighting over who’s what when we need to survive or should we immediately encounter a local. Benny Boi, you’ll be Galahad, Danni you’re Gawain, Andy you’re Kay, Vicky get’s to be Isolde, and Glimpse is Tristan. I’ll be going by Mordred while we are there, and when we cross over I’ll have to give the rest of the team their names just…try and keep them memorized ok? Now, before I go over to the other side, there’s one more thing that needs to happen on this plane of existence. Fair is fair after all.” Chase walked up towards Danni and pulled him in for a long, tender, kiss, before pulling back away and waving goodbye with a wink as he hopped backwards through the mushroom ring and into Otherworld. Chase had been used to teleporting by now, having made it one of his favored forms of travel beyond his board, but this felt different. The world turned around him, and all he could think was that this must be what Alice felt like as she fell down the rabbit hole. The morning sky of Margaret Carter had swirled and shifted giving way to the oranged hues of a desert sky that seemed to be setting off in the horizon. Large shadowed wings burst from Chase’s back as he slowed his decent down onto the sand and released the shadows back beneath him once he felt he was stable. Fabric tapped against the back of his legs as the dark black cape he now wore slowly fell down against him. A neck cowl rose up and underneath his chin, as dark fabrics wrapped around him with several leather belts across his chest and waist, making him look like a final fantasy character. He didn’t hate the new outfit but he was a bit annoyed that he seemed to have lost his jacket and boots that were a pain to thrift for. He inspected his bag to notice that his other clothing had also changed to fit the theming of this land. Wonderful. Chase was about to bring up the names again when Sabine began screaming bloody murder all while the sounds of every horror movie imagined came from her body. He could feel his morning breakfast already starting to crawl up his throat at the noises, choking it back from spewing before steeling himself completely. ”We can’t move her if we dont know what’s going on. We may hurt her more by touching her or trying to relocate her unless a Telekinetic wants to try.” His eyes were peeled to the horizon, watching the approaching hulking structure that Vicky seemed to know a deal about. Apparently this was where she had to go, why? He didn’t know. For what? Who gave a shit? All he knew was there was a task, and tasks kept him from focusing away from the horror show he had no way of helping with. He snapped his fingers at April, approaching her as he held out his hand. ”Waterbender, Think you could make me a pair of Ice Binoculars? I didn’t pack mine.”
“Ummm… yeah! I can give it a shot! Water’s just glass if you think about it - or glass is just water - you have like normal sized eyes, right?” Chase rolled his eyes but smiled ”Yeah” Binoculars in hand, Chase tried to use the shadows to help give him some height to see further out into the distance, a small platform forming under each step until he had a small staircase. ”Hey V, we got legs! Is that good or bad?” He felt something give way beneath him, as his foot slipped and he fell down into the sand, hand held up high with ice binoculars in hand to help save them before finally standing up and handing them back over to April ”Sorry about the whole misgendering thing, I get it now that you’re like totally a new chick and that its all super new to you. Kudos for coming out and all that.” Chase said as he dusted off all the sand that clung to his new outfit. ”Sidenote, kinda came up with some code names for everyone but uh…now seems a bad time to say.” His eyes looking over towards Sabine’s body writhing in pain.
