"What do you mean I can't go up this street then?!" I bark, feeling a rare flash of fury as the guard looks down at me, his eyes tired and barely even looking at me, not even trying to hide his indifference "You don't understand I NEED to get to the festival up there"

"Look, I get it, you like everyone else want to see the Millers up close" He says, looking to his side, grabbing that strange box on his chest as he scans the crowd behind me, all celebrating themselves and laughing almost like crow came back "But trust me, its better to just stay here if you don't have an invite. Just go get a drink and watch the screens"

"But I have a reason for being up there, a very good reason. I don't want to " I try to explain as the man glances down at me , looking annoyed now as I can here Lyra yelling my name somewhere within the crowd behind me before Juniper drowns her out with howled laughter "Can you at least listen to me? I've had a very difficult last few months alright and I just"

"Everyone has bad stretches, just run off" He groans, hanging his head "I can't yet you pass, its invite only up there ya know? only the nobles or friends of the family up there, or you know those foreigners visiting. Can't let some farm girl up there"

"but my little sister is up there, I haven't seen her in nearly a year" I say, steam rising from my clenched fists as my magic somehow leaks out of my locket and into me "Please, I'm going to stick around, I just need to find her up there. I'll leave once I see her, that's all I want is to"

His eyes fall, the apathy and barely restrained anger washed away in a moment as he looks at me. Like I just breath my last in front of him. He sighs, lowering his head as I see several snake legged men and women behind him, inspecting the scene I am making. He hangs his head, and motions for them to back away as he lowers himself to look me in the eyes, his tusk filled mouth drooling pathetically.

"Then clearly....clearly she's supposed to be there, simple as that" He says, snapping his jaw into place as I grumble and turn away, shaking my head while it fills with plans and schemes of how to get past this guy.

Damn, why must it all be such a pain. I understand he's just following the orders of his scary boss but....still. Lyra's running up to me now as I rub my finger over my still steaming locket's face as my scarf tries to free itself to bite the ugly guard's face.

Wait? why isn't my locket moving anymore? did the monster run off?

I won't be able to be here much but I am here when I can. Time for a reunion and an episode that the fans will never forget.

I smile as I push that little worry to the back of my mind, marching briskly up to my friend as she looks at me grumpily like she's going to lecture me for running off like I did, for almost picking a fight just now. For not following the plan with the crow and cry baby.

He expression softens as I hold my hands in front of myself, folded together and trying my best to look innocent. There's a moment pause as she rubs the bridge of her nose, and looks around with the same confused look she's been wearing since she "woke" up after I saved her.

"Look, Carol" She says, touching my shoulder "I know it had to be something important for you of all people to run off looking as....scary as you did. More than our lockets warning us. I understand you couldn't wait its just....could you try to explain what's going on next time something like this happens? I hate being out of the loop, can't plan at all without a little information, ya know?"

"oh" I say softly as she frowns, seeing the determined glint in my eyes, a fire waiting to grow and feed "oh, its a lot more important to me than monsters, I am kind of ashamed to admit but....this is the best chance I'm going to get to be able to see my sister again"

her eyes soften with pity as she nods

"Yeah, Mr Miller did say she was working at their castle, but you can't really go in there its like a....super death wish" She says, obviously trying to calm me down gently, putting her arm around my shoulder "Even if we're friends with one of them, they're vampires and'

"Yes, but I am not going to the castle, the real festival, the party the rich and noble are having up there with them" I whisper into her ear "The tv thingy said the servants are allowed up their to, to serve the guests. Which means she's up there, she has to be"

She smiles weakly and just nods in agreement'

"But we still can't get up there and....oh" She says, realizing what I'm doing as I smile widely and put my arm over hers

"So.....can you help me? you're a much better planner than me. I just go with the flkow. YOU actually plan" I say, trying to butter her up a bit "And are so much smarter and"

"I get it, i get it, I'm just trying to decide what I should put on my grave but...you'd do the same for me"She says, pursing her lips and looking a bit like a duck as she looks back at the guard's watching the streets. She suddenly grins and looks like she just realized the punch line of a joke

"Okay, a distraction would work" She says rubbing her chin "And you're the perfect tool for it. they all have radios still for some reason and

"What's a"I begin to ask

"You're adorably sheltered, yes I'll explain later" She says, putting a finger to my lips as she continues to whisper her already formed plan to me "Point is they're things they need to work that your magic will break. And seeing as how Mr alexander runs them like a hive a little worker bees....they'll leave some kind of opening"

"I don't want to hurt them" I scoff "isn't my magic also kind of....poisonous to normal people?"

"Some kinds of it, your magic is radiation. You just know how to use it like a hammer since you don't....get it" She says waving her hand around "Uh no offense, its just radiation means a lot of stuff. look, point is without being rude again, Their radios work on something a weaker kind of your magic can disrupt. get it?"

"Uh yeah, but I've figured there's more to my magic after it split that one monster in half or you know that x radar thing and...I'm getting carried away" I say lifting my arm off of her, and grasping my locket "So I need to use a weak magic on them then?"

"Yes but be careful it isn't too direct or it might still, make them sick" Lyra says carefully, wincing as green light spills out of my fingers, as I will my locket to work.

My eyes burn as I feel my eyes changing, my sleeves burning up as steam rises around me, the ground cracking and aging as a lazy wave of magic flows out of my fist. It crackles and makes sounds like sparking metal as it rolls forward, invisible except for a faint green fog that no one but me and lyra can see right now.

the weird box radio things make an odd squealing screech, as the lights along the wave suddenly turn sickly green and pop.

The guard looks down at his broken toy and turns to the other one as they try to get them to work.

"Uuuh?" the brute grunts "I'll go see what we're supposed to do, you uh....watch them. The crowd I mean"

the normal man nods and turns to the crowd, his eyes resting on me and lyra for a moment for a moment.

"See? just as planned. you can thank me after you find your sister" She says, taking her arm off of me finally

"Oh you're so clever and smart. thank you so much" I giggle as she blushes bashfully

I give her a quick hug and move away from her as she stays where she's standing. Before she vanishes back into the noise and chaos of the festival around us, I can just make out her calling out to me softly "Good luck, Atomic", right before she's drowned out by all the rest of the noise.

Now I can focus, this one guard is much easier getting past than two, especially since he's easily distracted by all the colorful sights around him. Even thought they're all so mundane. So I just wait until he'll be distracted long enough for me to slip by, and it doesn't even take a minute for that to happen, as some drunk or another stumbles into one of the stalls or something similar. The crash is enough to grab his attention as I quickly and quietly walk past him and duck behind the wall of one of the shops he's standing in front of. By time he turns back around I'm out of sight, and free to go on my way with a smile on my face. I sigh through my teeth as my locket begins to shake again

I have to force myself not to laugh as I crouch down and slouch, making myself as small as I can as I ignore my locket's warning and quickly sneak out of the idiot guard view. Once I am, I stand to my full height and can barely stop myself from sprinting to the distant sound of music dancing down the wind. So I run instead, since I can't see any guards and I am not waiting anymore. I need to find Alice, if not to reunite with her then at least to see her again, to make sure my poor little sister is doing better in her new life than our old one. Not that that would be very hard, but still. I've heard scary things about the miller's whispered around the docks from time to time. And that's not even touching on how strange Alexander was acting when I just asked to see her, saying it'd be painful for us both. It just seems a little fishy now, thinking about all of it. So I need to put my worries to rest, and at least see my sister one last time before I leave her to live her own life if that's what she want.

But will you accept that? I ask myself, stopping in the middle of an abandoned park set in the middle of the empty street, a bat winged statue spewing red hued water. I mull the question over for a bit before I shake my head and reaffirm why I'm doing this to myself, steeling my nerves. I just want to see Alice again, what comes after....I'll figure out then. Shouldn't have much running to do now, just need to catch my breath for a second here.

I sigh, and lay against the statue, taking a few deep breaths before I get ready to sprint towards the lights I can see just up the hill under the castle in the sky and

Something is rising out of the water now, reaching towards me. I can feel it, like a mouse running right as an old fat farm cat pounces towards it. Something is throwing itself at me right now. No time to think, only react. Whatever it is, is too close to me for me to run from it and it isn't smart to let the damn thing grab me, Even if its some nice old lady living down in the fountains well. So the only thing I can do

IS PUNCH IT IN THE FACE! I whip around and slam my fist into its cold flesh and freeze up as my adrenaline dies down and I see Alexander slumped against the statue, soaked to his bone and looking flabbergasted I managed to hit him square in the nose.

Inky black blood slowly crawls from his nose as he reaches for it, his tail sitting pitifully in the water, its fur flowing around it all puffed out.

"Ah....I'm being controlled by a chaos monster, I can't stop myself' He says dully as he stands back up, apparently shaking his shock that quickly

"Don't try and lie, I know you're trying to stop me from seeing my sister" I say, stepping back before he can close the distance, clutching my locket as he looks at me sadly and sighs

"You do not want to see her, and neither she you. Only pain and heartbreak await you, if not worse" He says softly "trust me, some things are best left alone, and forgotten"

"You'd do the same if it was your sister" I say angrily as he pulls himself out of the fountain and closes his eyes

"Yes....I would but....it isn't the same situation, its complicated. you understand, she thinks you never" He begins before I snarl at him

"But I did, I'm just a dull girl. You aren't turning me away while I'm this close" I say angrily as he lowers his head

"this is to protect you as much as her, you're a good person Carol, Meeting her again will only hurt the two of you, just leave, and I will do whatever I can to repay you" He says, his voice ragged and hollow now "even bring your father to justice, I will do whatever you ask of me"

"Take me to my sister" I say sternly as he groans

"of course, the one time I have to deal with this sort of thing this decade, it has to be with the sister of a stubborn girl with magic equivalent to a nuke" He says hanging his head as he reaches for his sheath sword, one of many

"And what does that mean?" I ask as he narrows his eyes

"I won't hurt you more than I have to convince you to stop this suicidal endeavor" he says calmly "if you best me, you can do as you wish, but know that my warnings are not out of fear of my family's secrets, but for her fragile heart and your well being. We are both orderly souls, I do not want to fight you but you force my hand"

"We can talk this out Alex, just take me to Alice" I say calmly as he pulls his sheathed blade from his belt, not pulling it free as he hesitates for the moment

"I'd say I could promise a meeting later, but I am not sure she'll ever be ready to see any of your family again" He says sadly, in an absolutely pitying way "I am so sorry Carol, if I had any doubt in my mind that allowing it wouldn't cause chaos and tragedy, I'd take you to her without a gripe, I swear"

"I don't want to fight you either, you forced my hand by keeping me from my sister" I say sadly as he nods

"I know, I also know I am tarnishing my friendship with you, to keep you and her safe" He says again "and I know no matter how much I tell you this, you won't back down"

"You would do the same, wouldn't you?" I ask him again as he nods slowly

"So, begin" He says, holding his free arm out, placing his sheathed blade over it

I smile and grab my locket tighter as I spread my legs out, crouching down as I get ready to start this fight even though I know it isn't a good idea at all. Alex doesn't move, and just keeps his eyes on me, waiting for me to make the first move.

"We don't have to do this, I can help her" I say softly as he frowns "I swear"

"You may, but I won't let you try if I'm not sure of your prowess" He says mysteriously, making me grind my teeth angrily and nod
"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CHIVALROUS!IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO FIGHT YOU!. ATOMIC LEGIONNAIRE!" I yell, standing back up and leaping into the air as my bomb cap shield forms around my hand as my clothes quickly decay and erode away, burning into bright green light, leaving me uncovered for a second besides a haze of sickly looking steam.

He tries to turn away, his eyes wide and a faint blush on his cheeks. My shield slams into his chin, ringing as he takes a step back as I land back down and spin around on my toys.

"EXPLOSIVE SLAM!" I yell, as green light gathers along the center of my steaming shield, snapping as I howl "ATOMIC!"

"What?" He manages to say before it connects to his stomach "oh, no"

There's a second of silence, before it shatters in an instant with an explosions so powerful it makes the air ripple and die.

"FUCK!" Alex yells as he goes flying backwards, a massive cloud of smoke, dust, water, filling the air as his black blood and shards of the fountain rain down around me. My blood goes cold, as my helmet falls on my head, as a black shape flies out of the dust cloud and into the iron fence behind it.

"ALEX!" I yell, my annoyance and anger replaced with fear and panic as I can see his silhouette begin to slowly move as he sits up

"Alright, I underestimated you slight" he coughs, almost laughing "I see I can't go easy on you then! Be proud carol, you're seeing a vampire's true form! only dead men have seen mine before, now lets see if you're worthy to tell of it! SHOWER OF VENOM KAHAHA"

"Oh thank goodness" I sigh as I realize his blood is EATING THROUGH MY ARMOR and then I shriek in surprise as I look away from it, trying to burn it off of me before I hear metal bending

And look up to see him in half, his blood pushing himself together as he rips himself from the fence, unsheathing his blade with it as his flesh turns to chitin and dragon fly like wings burst out of his back. A second later, his face is hidden by an insect looking helment, as his black chitin forms a kind of armor as his body puts itself back together

"ENGARDE!" He yells flying towards me as I raise up my shield and realize all I can do is try to defend against this charge "lets put on a good show at least"

Or maybe not

I lower my shield, watching the monstrous alex fly towards me, his black chitin turning white as he suddenly slides to a stop in front of me, shoving his boot like feet into the ground as his armor adjusts itself, some pieces flapping like his wings as he looks down at me with five burning red, bug like eyes. His helmet opens, revealing rows of perfectly arranged fangs as he whips his whole body around, cutting himself across the chest as he reaches me and uncurls himself, rolling up into a standing slash.

I block it with my shield, his blood hissing as it drips down the gouge it made in my shield. I move to stab him, and he catches my sword as I press it into his wound, two pincer like hands holding it in place before he grabs it with his now free hand, as he casually tries to push my shield away.
the two little hands vanishes inside his body as his armor shifts around

"Good, try" He says dully

I pull my head back, not responding as we struggle against each other, trying to force the other to back down or else leave an opening for the other. He laughs a buzzing laugh, and I respond by slamming my forehead and helmet and into his jaw. There's a crack and he tosses me away like a sack of potatoes.

Now that would work, if I didn't turn a little heavier than he expected at the last second.

"PROTECT US!" My locket cheers as he turns to me, with his lower jaw half slack and broken as he tries to shove it back into place like its a stray lock of hair "HALF LIFE CENTURION"

My armor grows, turning metal as my helmet grows to cover my face, and turns my vision green tinted, pointing out all the little details around me as the mini me dances and laughs. Apparently his currently broken jaw is a weakpoint.

So instead he just throws me to the floor, and slams his jaw back into place, before he pulls a black blade from his wrist and positions it over my throat

"Surr" he begins, one of his insect eyes scattered to reveal his now pure red normal ones

"RAD STEAM VENT!" I roar as I stand up, undoing my scarf as steam hisses out of all the cracks in my heavy armor, as my sword finally lengthens into a spear, I undo my scarf and it flies for his face. He struggles to bat it away and stay standing in the cloud of steam

"WHAT!? OKAY I REALLY SHOULD'VE STUDIED FOR THIS" He yells, his armor scalded as he clacks his jaw to make sure its in place, as my scarf bites into his wrist before he throws it back "DIDN'T KNOW YOU GOT STRONGER PHYSICALLY TO DAMMIT!"

He draws to smaller blades, and slicks them with his blood with a flick of his wrists, and spins them around in such away neither hits the other as he begins to approach me again.

I raise my shield up and rush him, struggling to move in my armor as I begin to pull the strings of stray thought together in my head to form a plot as Alexander leaps over me and swings both his swords across my armored back. I stumble, and he moves up to pin me. I stab my spear at him, still reeling with pain. He pushes it out of the way as I stand and vaults of my shield as I raise it. He smacks me against the head, and as I nearly kiss my shield I realize what he's doing. He's trying to make me think he can't cut through my armor to surprise me with his poison. Really its like he's just playing with me despite the fact I've gotten good hits in and hurt him. He seems to be just treating this as fun game between friends.

But that's his mistake. He thought I'd take that ridiculously evil line he said earlier seriously and panic, and let up my guard in desperation I think. That smack might've knocked my thoughts around, but it let me now how to counter him. His instincts are too strong to beat him in a sword fight, but all that steam has had to have clouded his eyes a bit.

I turn and raise me spear as he spins back around and stabs at me, I raise my shield as I plunge my spear into the ground, spider webs of green like cracking out from my palm as I fall just past his shield.

He moves up, pushing it slightly to pierce my armor and knick my side, but I've made my armor bulge with the same magic that's running under his feet

"Now, you'll be paralyzed in seconds and i can drag you away from your own stubborn hard headed determination to...." he says, his visible eye going wide and narrowing as he snarls "no blood"

"GOTCHA!" I roar, grabbing his blade with my armored arm so he can't get away from me "NUCLEAR GEYSER!"

There's a gurgling roar from under the ground as greenish water bubbles up, steaming and hissing as a bright green light rushes closer and

"Gotcha" Alex says, grabbing my arm right before he lifts off

Another twenty? That's Karma.

Besides do you honesty want the MC to mosterize for extra power if we had bad rolls?
>>
>>2335910
I mean this is Alex Fucking Miller to be fair. Crit or no crit he has well over a century in combat experience, several lifetimes of warfare under his belt to master his weapons and powers. The fact that we're hurting him at all is just that Magical Girls and I think Order and Chaos magic in general are OP as fuck.
>>
>>2335910
Alex is strong, pretty much the reason I'm against having him in our group as we are now.
>>
>>2335920
Magical Girls tend to best monsters with centuries of experience.

Not to mention moyivation.

The MC main objective is see her sister and is willing to do a lot to see that come true.

Alex doesn't really want to hurt the MC.
>>
"FUCK YOU!" I Yell, bringing my armored fist into his jaw, the sudden pop of it coming unhinged again shocking him enough to loosen his grip. And with a strong punch to the stomach with my elbow I push him away as he gasps

"How crude! what would your mother say!?" He asks angrily as the ground expands under his feet and then snaps and melts away into the same slurry under it, his feet burning "OH WAIT FUCK ME!"

"See?" I cackle as the beam of boiling water, molten mud and sheer radiation fly upwards, frying alex as he goes up, bent in his back, his mouth wide open.

Then he suddenly moves, pulling the corroding great sword from his back and swinging it around as he comes crashing back down towards me, burnt pitch black, steam and sizzling with tainted mud and acidic water.

And his blood is flowing from him like wasp stingers now.

"Uuh.....DUB IN A COOL MOVE NAME HERE" He roars as I raise my spear

"FUSING SPEAR TOSS!" I yell as I pull my spear out of now stone hard earth I planted it in, and step back, pulling my arm back as it becomes wreathed in steam and glowing ball of light on the tip of its sword blade.

He pull his own blade back and tries to slice throw the spear entirely. And the look on his face tells me he was expecting to be able to cut through its magic before it took effect. I hold my hand out, calling another spear with my magic as he lands behind me, trying to smash what's left of my spear against his twisted blade. He shrugs and spins around

"ALRIGHT, DO ANOTHER ONE HERE TO" He laughs as I turn to face him "Just go down already"

"TSAR BOMBA SISTERLY LOVE PUNCH!" I yell, my fist crackling with light and steam as I shove it straight into Alexander's face and he stops, not because of the impact, or the explosion that just peeled away half of his "Helmet". But rather what just came out of my mouth. I feel myself blushing as he gives me a strange look and tilts his head, as the look turns into a smile on the verge of breaking apart into laughing. He starts to as I bite my lip, as black blood flows down to my wrist.

"Really? Oh I wonder if the can change that in post or" He says sneering as he brings up his mangled piece of metal "well, the test isn't over yet all...."

He stops and I feel burning blood spray on my face as his expression falls and he reaches up for the arrow lodged in his eye calmly as I try not to scream or....other things.

"Ah bugger" He says looking up towards the castle "Should've known not to stand out in the open for to"

I shriek, and nearly fall back as another arrow lands between his fang like teeth

"Haaa" He groans, trying to pull that one free first

And then another arrow drops from the sky and pins his hand to his chin'

Those noises don't make much sense for a human to make.

Also glad that ended, otherwise I would have wanted to end it all with that second strongest hindu weapon from the overdrive mode, since it wouldn't be hard to guess they did exactly what our father always told us what monsters do to people to make iris's girlfriend, since Alex is so damned evasive.
>>
I yell until my throat starts to hurt, my voice cracking as I stare at Alex as he looks at me like I've lost my mind. He tries to say something through the two arrows currently pinning his jaw open, before a fourth hits his stuck arm and pins it to his chest by the arrowhead alone. He slouches and lets out a gurgling sigh, reaching for a still sharp and useable blade on his belt when I realize that he's alright. AND that this is my best chance to leave Alexander behind and stop this dumb battle of ours, though I will admit it was kind of fun

"Wow" I say, still amazed at how calm and collected he is with four arrows stuck in his face, treating them like annoying flies more than anything else "Vampires are really something else huh?"

He groans as I wave goodbye, and untransform, limping a little now from the smack he gave me on my back....my head still hurts from the smack her gave up there to. He doesn't follow me, and instead just tries to .....ah he's trying to butcher his arm off! no no no! getting out of here now before I taste that cake I made earlier.

Walking down the confetti and streamer covered street leading up to the fair grounds, I can see the brightly colored fools and monsters in suits holding confusing conversations with men and ladies in fine and sometimes odd looking clothing. the smells of gunpowder, food and fire fills the air mixed with something else as I hear the massive wing beats of something over my head I can't see because of the tent like tarp thrown over this part of the party.

I try to push and bully my way through the crowd, but that is easier said than done when half of the crowd is a bunch of weedy rich folk and the other half is a bunch of weedy rich monsters which makes a pretty big difference when you're trying to shove your past their oversized rears. And before I even get half way through the crowd, I get tossed to the ground by one of them and huff, almost standing up before a servant girl picks me up. I get a look at her face while she dusts me off with a smile, and can only frown in response.

"Not her" I whisper under my breath as I push myself back into the mob of chattering gentlemen and ladies. And nearly get shove back to the ground, and feel anger well up in me before I take a deep breath and smile, unfurling my scarf and letting it nip at anyone who doesn't clear out of my way.

Thankfully all of its victims are too shocked and searching around their legs to notice their assaulter hanging from my neck like a lazy, spiteful fat cat. Smirking, I make my way towards the split in the tents, leading up towards the castle on the cliff. My heart flutters, my spirits rise and I can't help but to grin wider every step I take closer to my long awaited destination.

I wince, red eyes filling my minds eyes, blood dripping down over my lip as I struggle for a second to keep walking towards the gap that leads to Miller castle. The stone and hedge path is unguarded, the gates are opened wide. No guards, no one besides a few drunk out of armor napping in the shade, and servants tending to the roses here and there.

I stand at the bottom of the hill for a moment, hearing the music and laughter all around me, as all the joy and happiness I was feeling drains away into a pit in my stomach. Doubt, worry, fear? I'm not really sure what this is I'm feeling, like dread mixed with hesitation a guilt. Even though I did all that I could, there's still that stain there. So Swallow it down and smile, turning my mind to something that'll actually help me as I take my first step up the hill.

What I'm going to say when I do find alice. there's so much to be said, but not enough. Where to start....what I should and shouldn't mention. Should it be just a brief hello and encouraging, love filled talk. Or should I try and apologize for not coming with her, or not doing more to keep her safe than I did. I don't know what to tell her, what to say to her. its making my head all fuzzy, making it hard to focus. I just don't know what to say besides....of course what I've been planning since I left the farm. Alice I've missed you so much, I'm so sorry all of us had to suffer like that, I'm sorry you weren't born someplace that deserved you more than that wretched place. I'm so sorry....I've come all the way here to find you and say this. I love you more than you can know, sister. I love you more than my own well being.

Alright that wasn't exactly what I was planning on saying, it used to be, I've missed you so much, and I'm so sorry about everything but....I don't know that just doesn't sound like enough to say. Not sure what else I can say, but I have so many ideas. All the possibilities, all her reactions I can see running through my mind as vivid as a waking dream.

It makes my stomach churn with fear, excitement, anticipation and so much more. My lips feel numb and my hands are cold. There's so much I need to say. And I'm just not sure she'll give me the time to say it all.

I pause outside of the gates, staring at the towering statue of the brausr's wife, smiling sweetly and wearing some kind of fluffy hoodie thing. People are gathered around the base of it, sampling fine looking and smelling pastries while a small pack of fellows who look like drunk farmers or hunters more than nobles chat with a woman with bits and pieces of dragon....elizabeth Miller I think. And the big one of the wolf like fellows must be that....Marla?

Think those were the names. Shaking my head, I step through the gate with a dry throat and wide eyes

I pause, and pull my eyes away from the nearly larger than life women I had seen on the tv before I sprinted away from it with a bloody nose and red eyes burned into my mind. Okay, lets just look around here for a second, there doesn't seem to be any guards around here, which means the guests, millers and servants are the only ones I have to worry about. And they all seem too caught up in there own partying to notice anything besides it. Just take deep breaths and make sure that's the case, like Holi taught you. Always keep an eye open and focused. I know Alex's mother is dangerous from the books I read, and that spider legged mizuky is just plain scary, especially since I've sworn I've seen her before today.

So avoid them, which is simple, they both stand out like a freshly painted fence post. In fact lets just avoid any of the Brausr's family, visiting nobles or those wolf looking fellahs. Well besides Maybe Vera.

Nodding, I smile and head into the party, sticking close to the servants but far enough away from them so they don't get suspicious of me looking at their faces any time they look my way. The first group was a bust, and I walk away with a pain in my heart, looking at a chubby maid as she struggles to set a plate properly, and the few around her but they're all to tall to be Alice, and faaar too old. Shaking my head, I grind my teeth as I tiptoe to another group of servants serving drinks to a rather uncomfortable looking, starved and dark eyed man, and a cheerful girl with a knight standing by her side.

I stay a bit further away, since the knight covered in blue roses stares at me like a hungry dog the second I step close to his lady. I frown, watching them talk to a woman who....oh right that'd be Jasmine miller. Well she's like a fairy from her looks, so she can't be too dangerous, but I should stay by that knight. Feels like he's threatening me and I don't want a scene

I stop by a row of strange looking flowers that s smell like the clear at the apartment I've been staying at. there's a few maids with young, handsome men. I stop where I stand, narrowing my eyes angrily as I make sure none of them are trying to woo my little sister. And smile when I don't see her face among the blushings ones, and turn away and hear a gasp.

Freezing a diginified woman in a red dress looks over to me with an angry, mulling frown. Karla miller. Alexander's...one of his older sisters. She smiles and sighs

"Watch your feet, some of the guests here aren't as nice as I am, just watch where you're going" She laughs, smiling and showing her fangs as I try to get over how normal she looks and seems before I nod, and whisper a thank you before I walk away from her.

"hey" I ask, tapping a maid setting pastries out

"eh?" She asks, turning around with a broken nose and an unfamiliar face

>>2336592

"oh just asking if you had any tarts" I laugh nervously as I walk away and sigh. Well that plan hasn't worked yet, and my poor heart has nearly beat its last already and.


Oh right, Alice serves the youngest princess right? Why am I looking here when I know where she'd be more or less. the girl on the screen with bat wings seemed reserved and shy, so I need to go away from the party to find my sister yeah?

Smirking, I begin to walk away and then here a familiar tune floating down to dance through my ears past all the clammer.

Its a bit more upbeat than the normal tune of it, but its the same tune I'm sure of it, just song with a happier voice rather than whispered between strikes of the hoe or sickle. The song I made as it is supposed to be sung, loud, proud and free. Not scared and hidden away under the fear of beatings and the likes.

So I start to follow the sound of the sound and begin to hum along with it as I close my eyes and just let the music guide my feet towards the singer. Who has to be alice, no one else would know that song, and sure she could teach it to someone, but I know how she sings it. She always sung it a little louder than she was supposed to, like she was part of one of those choir things.

So slowly, I step along humming along to the music as I step deeper into the thick of the party and continue humming one step ahead of the music. Opening my eyes, I look around me, sliding between the dancers with my own twirls and steps away from them, never breaking the tune of the humming as I try to get to the center of the crowd

The song gets quieter as the dancing moves to the beat of the actual music now, and I start to hum with it, making it the quiet lullaby I sang to my younger siblings when the nights were dark and storming.

the song does the same and gets closer

what do I do?
[] rush towards it! SO CLOSE
[] keep humming and walk slowly closer to it, to give myself time to think and or prepare for disappointment
[] stop and sing to it
[] Alice?
[] write in

Yeah, it's possible she scrounged up all that money because she wants nothing to do with us.

I slow my pace, and walk briskly as I slowly switch from humming to a low singing, while I struggle to contain my excitement and wild expectations and fantasies with every step I take over the white, polished stone under my feet. Besides going in slowly gives me the chance to think about what I'm going to say to her and what I'll do if she turns me away or worse. I am prepared for disappointment or even heart break but I need to see her again. At least once more in my life, just to know she has a better life even if most anything is better than living on that farm. That's all I want, is to see her. Even if she doesn't return my love anymore or believes it to be a lie, it will be enough just to see her one last time. And that is enough for me to steel my resolve, might not be positive thinking but its comforting to me at least.

And so I walk forward, Now singing fully as I head to the voice through the thinning crowd and stop near the edge of it, not able to see past them from the tears filling my eyes.

"Alice?" I ask the figure I can barely see as an odd feeling washes over me for a second, and the music suddenly stop as I rub my eyes, trying to clear them as I cry openly as all the emotions I've bottled up till now spill out.

My locket sizzles and burns my chest

"You" a voice that is just barely familiar says, with something similar but different than spite as my heart slams against my ribs, it feels like.

I wince and grab my locket, burning my fingers for the second it takes for it to cool.

Looking up, my eyes ache as

as....as I don't know. My head seems to stop for a second, my thoughts dying in my empty mind as I look ahead trying to piece together what I'm seeing as my mind refuses to accept what's set before it, deny it even though I'm seeing it with my own eyes.

Its not like I can't understand what I'm seeing, its just part of me is refusing it. I shake my head and close my eyes, blinking in confusion while I struggle to put whatever went wrong in my head so I can accept this perfectly mundane sight in front of me. And then I realize why I've been stunned and removed from the world for however long I've been staring dumbly.

Standing in front and taller than me is that bosomy, wide hipped and more noticeably colorful, four armed and winged girl with horns on her head. the one that was hanging on the princess' arms and bouncing around. She's pretty now that I've seen her up close, and looks kinda like the women on the cover of those romance books that Judith got once some how.

And maybe my brain fried because of how little she's wearing.

Well whoever she is, she certainly isn't alice even if she knew the song. Hell besides that, the only thing that matches up with Alice is her freckles and red hair but that's pretty common from what I've heard.

"What are you doing here?" She asks, as the pupils set in her golden orange eyes mold themselves around into the vague shape of daggers...weird and kinda of scary "You aren't"

She leans closer to me and pokes my chest, making me smile nervously

"Supposed to be anywhere near here" She grumbles angrily as I shrug and chuckle

"Oh, sorry I was just....just mistook you for someone, say where did" I say, pausing as she stands back up and frowns her, pupils turning to question marks now which is reassuring "Uh, who taught you that song"

"At least look at me when you talk" She sighs, like the woman of noble birth she probably is "And why are you looking for yourself anyways"

"What" I ask bluntly as she frowns a bit deeper

"And why are you looking for me, after what you did to me" She says, her pupils turning to flames before turning to tear drops as I tilt my head in confusion

"I'm sorry I don't think we've ever met before" I say slowly as my locket raises up and I push it back down

"Well I look different don't I carol" She says smiling impossibly wide

"ALICE!" I Yell, clutching my chest as I think my heart gives out for a second or two as she looks down on me, with her arms crossed

"I have a lot" She says, coldly "A lot to talk to you about, especially since I was hoping I wouldn't see you or anyone else from that damn farm again"

Thanks for running HM
Now for the long wait until YDFQ
Remember when that ran every Tuesday
How long ago that feels
>>
>>2336754
Great thread, HM! I look forward to the continuation and the...severe distress going on in Alice's mind.

Hope the daughters don't take to roughbousing the aunt to 'protect' her.

I have a rare Monday off so you best run when you say you will lest I get antsy
>>
>>2336754
was expecting something more, poetic somehow. Nevertheless it was pretty good, my standards just got set too high since your last dramatic spiel with Mali was masterful.

Thank you for running HM I appreciate what you do, it turned a terrible night into the most fun I've had in a while.
>>
>>2336784
Oh something poetic is coming, I just didn't think poor carol would have much to say after being shocked like that.
And want to have Mali's perspective before it goes any deeper
>>
>>2336754
Hmm, no doubt by now she's known that her sister has been looking for her, and until order, Mizys hypnosis had her hitting dead ends.

Probably sore that every itineration of Carol all fell hook, line and sinker for dad's lies, when she needed her the most. And still hasn't questioned how exactly Alice would get all that money upfront, nor understanding that she would never run away from the family she thought loved her.

Glad ydfq was not set for sunday.

>>2336754
How's the locket doing?
>>
>>2336823
hmm
>>
>>2336754
Wait; she is a demon familiar? No wonder the locket is going crazy.

****

Sheepie: Uh... what? Did the Millers turn her into a demon?

Lazy Cat: No clue... I was too lazy to read her file.

Sheepie: What? Really?

Lazy Cat: The world is already in chaos, why would I want to replace the leaders?

Sheepie: Yeah, that sounds like too much work.

>>2336848
Carol's locket.

>>2337038
not only that anon, she's also got chaos in her. (an event that started this quest possible). she's tick tocks heir.

it's nothing to worry about though, you're used to being literally a demon and being an alright person a little bit of chaos is not going to bother you too much.
>>
>>2337528

>>2338309
Yep, still want you guys to go on holiday in the lovely lands oh chaos
