#mabifeast

Hello! As you guys know Samhain Feast has been a generally non restrictive event. There is no technical end date, so generally all of you who are currently participating feel free to take your time. Those of you who would be interested in doing the prompts in the future are totally welcome to too, even if it’s many weeks/months or so as the prompts were originally intended as sort of single person  fast prompts so you could do them without anyone else or if the host is still needed one only needs to @ or tag nekyua/ or asknekyu.

Very soon though another event will be coming up on mabinogifestivities and I wanted to inform you of this so you could know that you can continue however pace you want on Feast without worry, or finish up to get ready for the next events.

"I’ll try not to get in your way," the priest said, glancing at Umbra for a moment.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she huffed, crossing her arms and smirking a little. She still held a grudge against him after their first confrontation. The air was stagnant for a while until the third person spoke up.

"It’ll be no problem right? I hope. If you think I’m gonna do anything to you at my house, think again. I don’t do that sort of stuff."

The uneasy feeling in Umbra didn't dispel when Breezy said that, but she was a little bit less hesitant to go to her house.

"Anyway, that’s besides the point. Let’s get out of here."

Umbra nodded, drawing an arrow from her quiver as she watched Breezy summon her staff, realizing she had never seen the druid fight yet.

“If you change your minds, I’ll be around,” Nekyu announced to her and Judas, walking off.

Umbra let out a loud "Pfffftttt" as if to mock him, laughing a little. After watching Breezy get hit in the head that hard, she definitely did not want to lose her memories that way.

“Do you two want to leave? I don’t want to be here anymore. Maybe go to my place to rest? It’s….not far from here.”

Umbra looked over at Breezy, who had just spoke to the two of them.

... Huh? Go to her place?

Umbra narrowed her eyes at the thought of that, a bit suspicious.

"Is she planning something? Can't be too careful," she deliberated. "... But, she just lost her memory. And she never seemed to be a threat to me."

She looked over at Judas a bit, remembering how Breezy invited both of them.

"I don't feel like dealing with him right now, but what can he do with a weak spirit sword in a confused girl's house?"

She hated to intrude on someone's home, since she rarely had guests at her own home, even if she was not home often.

“I am the host and you are the guest, it was your decision to come as it is their decisions to take what is offered to them. If you hate this party so, then you’d best leave, or I will make you leave," Nekyu snarled at Umbra as he whipped the arrow out of her hand with his tail.

She stepped back slightly from the impact, dropping her left arm to her side, still in an aggressive stance.

"Isn't the host supposed to treat the guests well?" she retorted. She bit her tongue after that objection slipped, silently cursing herself.

Umbra watched in disgust as Nekyu bit down on the blade. It seemed like he made no attempt to break the blade, curiously enough.

She watched Nekyu savor his recent meal, still waiting for Breezy to respond to her suggestion of running away. She turned to her left to look at Breezy, wondering what took her so long.

The mauve colored eyes seemed distant and unfocused, as if Breezy wasn't there.

"Breezy. Snap out of it!"

Breezy didn't seem to hear her, but a tear fell from her eye, which was quickly wiped away.

"Breezy!"

Umbra shook the girl's shoulder a bit.

“I-I’ll..do it. T-The second option.”

"You--you're not serious right, Breezy?"

Of all people, Breezy was the person who seemed least likely to sacrifice part of her soul to the incubus. Or, Umbra had thought she was.

A surge of anger welled up inside her, along with the pent-up frustration at the dungeon. She was frivolous at the host of this feast, for making her face the memories she wanted to forget throughout the journey to this... meal. Although it was the witches to put her under the curse, Umbra believed Nekyu had set this whole thing up.

And now people she knew were willing to sacrifice part of their soul for the deals he could set up. She now realized she was hesitant to give up her memories because she hated running away. Hiding her memories and running away from them were two different things to her.

"I hate this whole party," she mumbled, fueling her anger.
