Mokou had been trying her best to scout the city at the time, wondering where Atalante disappeared to. She had just...vanished without a trace. Maybe the lucky cat had actually got to go home. Either way, she was alone as far as she knew. She had to protect the people of this place alone.

She tried her best to dispatch any monster that got in her way, beating them down with her hard kicks and beheading them with the provided katana. She wasn’t trained in such a weapon, but it was better than nothing... especially since she didn’t have her fire magi-

Oh. With one swing she just threw a flaming slash at some poor youkai, setting it ablaze. 

Yes, that was real. She could feel her strength returning to her, even if it felt somehow temporary. Was what that last place did finally wearing off? Or was this that doll’s doing?

Either way, she took flight towards the nearest glowing light. Other people would be flocking there, and they needed to be protected and guided.

He’d been fighting for how long now? There were faceless amok around him. It seemed as though the longer he was out the more he attracted--he wasn’t sure, but he didn’t remember seeing this many back when everything first fell apart.

They weren’t a lot but in these numbers, without Raijinto being able to hold a charge, he found himself being worn ragged. He took cover, trying to catch breath. Ryoma wasn’t able to rest, though, he was still very aware of the sluggish plodding of the well...creatures, and there was the distinct noise of something that didn’t sound quite like a faceless either.

Perhaps trying to maneuver out of the way of these monsters in this form was NOT the greatest idea! At the time, it had been, it had been such a wonderful idea, but as she sees this large shadow over her, and golden-like orbs looks up only to see THIS HUGE thing coming at her. Eyes wide in completely surprise,  She yelps, before quickly doing her best to get out of the way. Now that she’s out of the way, she reverts back to her humanoid form. "W-Wha--?” her eyes falls onto this other creature. prob-no, Definitely the one who had caused the other to nearly crush her into a pancake. She didn’t mean to move out the way when she did and end up RIGHT in front of this thing. Just one danger after another, this is how her life is.

Of all the places he was expecting to run into Takumi he was surprised it was here; but alas, he was able to cross paths with him in a safe zone. He took big strides over to his direction, setting a hand on his shoulder once he got there.”

He hadn’t made much progress in finding his siblings. It ate him up inside, but there was so much going on and so many he found himself guiding out that he was consistently ferrying and not much else. He didn’t run into too many others familiar with the kingdoms either; meaning he was mostly on his own to scout, when he could.

He took to leaning down on a rubble wall, he’d been fatigued but figured he could always rest later....this was nothing...

He must’ve lost track of time, because he noticed the light changed when he was woke by yelling and rubble crashing. The voice sounded familiar too--Ryoma lifted himself up to poke over a ruined wall to see one of Takumi’s retainers amidst the carnage.

“A part of me really shouldn’t care any more but at the same time -- oh GOD, what have I gotten into now?” Was this the real curse of King Haggard’s castle?Waking up somewhere unfamiliar? No Red Bull at least, but no one else he’d come in with either.

Just distraction, glowing lights shooting into the sky and a bunch of goblins and ghosts trying to come at him. The wizard fled, trying to find out an ideal place to hide but he didn’t know the layout of this strange ruined place at all! And he wasn’t exactly in shape either, already a bit out of breath.

“I really hope this is just a bad dream, but if it is, what the heck did I eat last night?” Schmendrick panted, and eventually tripped over himself when a sword just APPEARED suddenly in his hand. 

“I didn’t...do that...did I?” He didn’t remember casting anything, but he had to swing his arm up quickly to block an incoming attack. “If there’s anyone - anyone at all out here too -- I’d really appreciate some help right about now! Unicorn, where are you?!”

But she’d been turned into a woman now, hadn’t she? His fault, of course...

“Riku, come over here. It’s clear on this side.”

Ten addressed his brother with a voice that was barely above a hushed whisper. The twins were currently trapped in the monster-infested ruins of a small settlement--a bane because the maze-like foundation of the place made it hard to navigate, but a boon because that same foundation provided the defenseless Ten and Riku with adequate cover to hide from the monsters. 

They had both, of course, been granted a generic temporary blade and gun as a means for self-defense, but Ten had cautioned Riku against using his weapons. Riku had a tendency to panic in bad situations, and was clumsy to boot. Ten himself couldn’t trust himself to be able to wield his blade properly, only keeping it at his hip in case things went downhill.
