The Warped (2nd Party)

[[Sov]]

Septar woke when she heard Constance moving around a bit, and pulled the covers over her head, wishing for more time to sleep. She knew that it wasn't likely that she would fall back to sleep, but tried to anyway. Finally getting herself out of bed she moved into the wash room and washed her face with a cloth that was in there. Rinsing the cloth out, a lot of dirt came with it, and so she decided to continue to kind of bathe herself and wipe her arms and neck off as well. It was the most refreshed she felt in days.

Macid continued to lay there, hoping the others would quickly get some food. However, since Constance was gone, and it didn't sound like anyone was moving next door, he got up and went over to knock on Septar and Mortis' door. "Ummm... I know you guys are tired, too, but can you guys get some food for us, I'm kinda getting hungry, and I can't find Constance..."

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance didn't see Moon in the sky after a minute of looking so she decided to explore the city. She walked on looking at the sights, she even had a smile. For now she was able to forget she was in some different reality and have a false image of normalcy she once knew. It wasn't long before she got hungry, taking in all the smells of the vendors and such. She would have eaten some of her provisions in her bag, but she didn't bring it. Still though, she smiled.

[[Sov]]

Septar walked out of the washroom feeling refreshed and heard Macid knocking on the door. She noticed that Mortis was still sleeping and decided to just let her continue to sleep for awhile, it was still early. Going to the door she opened it and smiled at Macid, "Good Morning Macid. Mortis is still sleeping, so I think we should wait a bit to get food since she'll probably be hungry when she wakes up too. Want to go look for Constance?"

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Macid's ears drooped with his expression, "No... I just want food right now. I'm so hungry..." He sighed and went back to his room, laying back on his bed. "No food and no one even gives a damn that I'm hungry. I don't want to do this anymore. This is stupid. For once, I wish someone would actually listen to me. Stupid Filadius, stupid quests, stupid world..." After a while longer of whining, Anon began to glow brightly and floated off of the ground, What the...? Before he knew it, the light seemed to grow a single tentacle and it pierced through Macid's chest. He grunted as he struggled, but the appendage sticking through his chest lifted him up and he slowly began to glow himself, "NO! What's going on!? Consta-!" Macid's voice trailed as it disappeared with his figure, consumed by the light, and it all formed into a large ball of light. And in a brilliant flash, disappeared, a large chest dropping to the ground with a name that was in a language that was lost 1,000 years before even this point in time.

As Constance walked about exploring the city she felt a sudden tingle. She looked around but saw nothing out of the ordinary. "That was weird..." she mumbled. She couldn't shake the feeling something bad happened, a look of concern over took her smile. "I should go check on the others..." she thought. Hurriedly she made her way back to the inn to check on things.

The chameleon rolled over and wiped her face a bit grumpily hearing conversation at the door. She sat up groggily and yawned, not quite aware of what was going on. She stretched and swung her legs off the side of the bed, standing, though stumbling at first. She saw Septar was up and merely walked over to where there was a basin and threw water on her face to get herself up. She hated mornings. Especially ones when she slept well.

[[Sov]]

Septar shrugged and walked back towards her room, hearing Macid mumbling to himself, but wasn't really paying too much attention to what he was saying. Suddenly she heard him yell for Constance, and she turned and rushed back into the room to see a blinding light and a brilliant flash of light followed by nothing. Macid had vanished, and nothing remained but a box on his bed. "MORTIS! MORTIS!!! MACID IS GONE!! OH GOD, MACID!" She yelled frantically and rushed into the room. "Help! You have to come now!"

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance made it back to the inn, arriving she heard Jovi yelling for help in her room. She rushed in to see her worried, no Macid and a chest. "What happened? What's wrong?" she asked, looking around the room. "Wheres...Macid?" she asked, a sudden empty feeling deep in her gut. She felt something was wrong, something very wrong.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis was jarred awake by Septar's frantic screams. Everyone was suddenly panicked, she almost didn't have time to process what exactly had happened before the feeling of fear set in. She followed after Septar, stumbling, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. All she knew was something had happened to Macid.

[[Sov]]

"He just- There was a light, and this big bright thing that was through his chest and then there was a bright flash, and poof!" Septar said frantically, "What happened? Why did this happen? He was just mumbling about how he wanted food now, but I told him that we should wait till Mortis woke up and then-" she stopped short and looked at the other two shaking all over, she sat down and extended her wings and wrapped them around herself to hide from what had just happened.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance grew worried when Septar began to freak out, spouting gibberish. "What-...What do you mean "Poof"?!" she asked hastily. "Where's Macid!?" she continued, frantically looking around the room as if she would see Macid hiding in a corner somewhere. Her heart sank into her stomach as she didn't see him. "He's-...Gone?" she asked in disbelief, tears beginning to well up in her eyes.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

It was then she finally realized what was going on. At least somewhat. Another one of their party members seem to have fallen. She swallowed hard and looked at the chest, "Just like Max," she murmured a bit sadly, still blinking through her sleepiness. She seemed a bit angry again, her mind returning to Filadius... He knew all this was going to happen. Now we're dropping off like flies! I wonder who's going to be next! She eyed the group a bit wearily, not really wanting to know the answer to the question she had asked herself mentally. Her face was a bit flushed.

[[Sov]]

"This can't be real. This doesn't make any sense." Septar said still huddled within her wings, she started to cry softly and didn't know what to say to Constance or Mortis. She didn't even want to look at either of them, she somehow felt that it was her fault he was gone. If I had just gone down to the pub with him and gotten food, none of this would have happened, he would still be here. Oh no. She closed her wings tighter around herself as if to try and embrace herself in a hug, rocking from side to side a little bit.

Outside past the outskirts of town, the cat from before with the sniper rifle's attention was caught by the glimmering light from the flash within the inn's second floor, and she quickly laid down and looked through her scope. Through her scope, she saw three females, one frantic, one confused, and one in a daze. Using her military training, she read their lips, and her demeanor turned to anger when she read that Macid had vanished, disappeared. Her finger trembled in anger as it slowly tightened up on the trigger. Finally, her soldier instincts kicking in, she pulled her gun up and stood up, leaning it on her shoulders and walking away. Kiral ain't gonna like this. Better evacuate the castle before he busts a cap in all the help. Wesker's never been one for bad news.
