Flimsy whips Alice for 50 damage!

>Raziel: If you can, try to time your attacks with Alice, so that if they try to block/evade one of your attacks it will leave them vulnerable to the other's.



You try to double attack, but the creature sidesteps- it seems to be too fast for you! Miss!

Flimsy: Hehehehehehehe
Flimsy: you didn't think it would be that easy, did you, big kitty?

==>



Flimsy whips you! At the last moment, you duck. It's not a direct hit, but it still stings. You take 27 damage!

This may be more difficult than you thought. Perhaps you should consider retreat-

!!

How did that thing follow you here??

Show ChatlogShow

Flimsy: What the dickens-?

==>



An Illusion? Has Alice refined her craft so quickly?

Flimsy flinched! He received no damage.

Show ChatlogShow

Flimsy: Aaah!
Alice: Hahaha!!
Alice: Not so funny being on the receiving end, huh?

==>



Alice strikes Flimsy for 120 damage! Flimsy has been defeated!

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: Hahaha! Did you see that?
DT: Did you do that?

==>

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: DT, you found us!
DT: Yes.
DT: Did you do that?
Alice: I just wanted to distract him, but this is the easiest time I've ever had making an illusion!
DT: And it did what you wanted it to do?
Alice: Yes...
DT: Well... the mist does muddle the senses.
DT: Perhaps your skills must make you particularly good at manipulating this.

>everyone: isn't it odd how that monster didn't drop a soul?

Alice: I think he's looking for something...

Alice: Oh, the soul!
Alice: That's right, it didn't- It's not there...
Alice: ...All that trouble and that thing didn't even leave a soul??
Alice: I thought all monsters left a soul when defeated?
DT: It seems not...
Alice: ARRRGGG!!
DT: No point in dallying, we should move.
DT: Sound carries easily through the mist.
Alice: Alright...

==>



You follow Alice and Tenebris.

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: So, anything interesting happen back at the house?
DT: No.
Alice: No monsters walking in or out?
DT: Not really...

The fog grows thicker

Alice: What about the noodle boys.
DT: ...What about them?
Alice: Wow, you really didn't want to come, did you.
DT: ...
DT: Aren't you tired of talking?
Alice: ...Are you saying I'm mouthy??
DT: No...
DT: It's just....Unusual for anyone to talk so much in here.
Alice: Because it's dangerous?
DT: It's another effect of the mist.
Alice: Heh.
Alice: Maybe I'm too much for this mist to handle.
DT: ...
DT: Maybe.

==>



...What was that?


==>



You could swear you just heard a voice. It rattles you at the marrow of bones you do not posses. A mix of nostalgia and a deep, terrible feeling you can't quite explain...

If your fur was real, it'd be on its ends.


==>



Where...?



How are you supposed to track anything in this mist?


==>



...And did those two seriously ditch you.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

1) Try to follow the direction you think Alice went in.
2) Try to follow the direction you think the voice came from.
3) Other (enter command)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

2> Raziel: That feeling you felt about the sound must mean it was important to you. You should follow it.

(2) > Raziel: Obviously be on your guard. That feeling most likely may be something worth sticking to, so follow the voice if you are ready to face whatever it’s owner may be.

Is anyone else worried that "DT" is actually another Flimsy leading Alice into a trap?

>raziel: jump up to the treetops like before, see if you can spot alice and dt from up high

Is anyone else worried that "DT" is actually another Flimsy leading Alice into a trap?

It definitely crossed my mind when he just kinda showed up, but I'm not really sure how to address it.

> Raziel: jump up to the treetops like before, see if you can spot Alice and DT from up high.



Let's see what's up...


==>



These creatures are a plague.

A single one was strong enough, a group like this could easily overwhelm you and Alice... So why use deceit instead of facing you directly?

What exactly are their intentions, and why do they not possess any souls?


> Raziel: That feeling you felt about the sound must mean it was important to you. You should follow it.



In this situation, Alice's safety is a concern, but you are certain she can handle herself. Evidently, she comes with advantages you do not. And besides, Tenebris is with her. She'll be safe.

You however, have a quarry to find.


==>



Your mind made up to find the owner of the voice, you venture deeper into the forest.


==>



And deeper.


==>



...Deeper.


==>



...Deeeeeeper...

...'Noooo, the forest's not really deep', he said.
'We'll haaaandle it', she s-

???: ....Buuut?
???: There seem to be ...two tracks?
???: How do you get two tracks?
???: She suddenly got a twin running around?
???: ...I mean, if she does, does that mean we get another clubhouse?
???: Because if so, I call dibs!
???: You respect dibs, right?
???: ...Sure.
???: :D!
???: I wonder if our leader does, though.
???: ... D:
???: Hehehe...
???: L-let's just ...try to find at least one, first.
???: Hm...
???: I’ll try to focus on the one closest.
???: Terror is not my preference, but she seems to be the more defined track.
???: Lead on, sister.

Hmm...

>Raziel: Pursue the strangers. Stay quiet and hidden. Remember to follow their voices instead of their image. Use the mist to your advantage.

You decide to follow the children, carefully tracking their footsteps. Thankfully the boy continues with his quips, which makes trailing them at a safe distance easy. You're not sure you would be able to otherwise.


==>



Despite your best efforts to keep a clear mind, you find your thoughts wandering. In a way it seems the mist permeates not only your vision but your soul as well, muddling your usual competence.

Is this the effect Tenebris spoke of?


==>



You push on forward, undeterred. Uncertainty will only slow you down.


==>



The only way to successfully accomplish a goal is to keep at it until conquered.

Nothing will stop you. You won't allow anything to stand in your w-

The cat seems to wait for those kids to leave before hauling you up into branch and plopping you on his lap.

No matter how comfy, you can't help but remember all those creepy Easter bunny picture days at the mall. You'd whimper if you weren’t fairly sure he'd drop you for it.
