[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Manipulate the light so that it doesn't hit her !

Nijisa:

>Us too !

Kiku-chan:

>"...!?"
>Jump.
>"Sakuya ! Doesn't this look like what happened to Miss Flan ?!"

Niji Green:

>"Miss Meiling ? Who is this 'Miss Flan' that Kiku-chan talked about ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Get over there and fly up to provide shade as best as we can.

Tsuru:

>Do what Daiko's doing to help and think of magic that could help in this situation.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>Manipulate the light so that it doesn't hit her !

Nijisa:

>Us too !

> You... don't really know how to do that... and with this sudden situation you are very nervous, which makes you unable to think how to do it...

Kiku-chan:

>"...!?"
>Jump.
>"Sakuya ! Doesn't this look like what happened to Miss Flan ?!"

> "It... does..." Sakuya replies in a quiet tone.

Daiko:

>Get over there and fly up to provide shade as best as we can.

Tsuru:

>Do what Daiko's doing to help and think of magic that could help in this situation.

> Both of you try to provide shade to violently shifting Corin. Daiko uses Corin's umbrella too. She... is completely caugh on fire by now...
> You could only think in something: Water.
> Mystia and Kyouko do the same of both of you. In fact, Alice ,with her dolls not following her, Marisa and Sakura does the same.
> By now, The are where Corin is moving is completely shaded by all of you, but she's still on fire.
> "K-KILL MEEEE SCAAARLEEEET!!" Corin pleads. She's crying. "KILL MEEEEEEEE!!!"
> "Cirno!" Daiyousei calls. "Try to get her some cold!"
> "O-Okay!" She raises her hands at Corin.
> The air around her is much colder. The flames, however, don't falter.
> "TSURU!" Sakura looks at you.
> Sakura grabs her horn and, with a pain expression in her face... takes it out.
> "B-Burn my horn above her!" She throws it to you.

Niji Green:

>"Miss Meiling ? Who is this 'Miss Flan' that Kiku-chan talked about ?"

> "Flan? Oh, she's the Mistress little sister." Meiling explains.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"I can just use water myself!"
>Use some water magic already!

Daiko:

>"Isn't water bad for them!?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"I can just use water myself!"
>Use some water magic already!

Daiko:

>"Isn't water bad for them!?"

> You create a ball of water in the air.
> "NO! USE MY-"
> "AAAAAAAAHH!!" Corin screams as the big ball of water falls above her. The flames turn off, but smoke comes from Corin's body. She's still is moving violently, trying to bear the pain.
> "Hah!" Sanae ends up moving her gohei.
> Suddenly, Corin stops shouting, as if she is suddenly calm...
> She lets her head rest in the snow. She's breathing heavily and crying.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"I-I'm sorry!"

Daiko:

>"Is she alright?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"I-I'm sorry!"

Daiko:

>"Is she alright?"

> "She is..." Sanae speaks. "... I casted a miracle to let her endure the pain for some time..."
> "Aah... Ah..." Corin sighs heavily.
> "..." Remilia makes her spear disappear.
> You can hear footsteps behind you.
> Chloe gets in your field of view. She, with extreme caution, takes Corin in her arms, who whines a bit as she does so.
> "... I'm sorry, Mistress..." Chloe mumbles.
> Corin only glances at Remilia with difficulty.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"What are you trying to get at with this?"

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm..."
>Look worried to the vampire.
>"M-May i come along too ?"

Nijisa:

>"How did she get behind us ze ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"This wasn't supposed to end up like this... Kiku, mind checking up on the Mistress' Sister back home ?"

Niji-chan:

>Nod faintly.

Niji Green:

>"Uhm, can we please check on her ?"

[Tashi]

//What a SUCKY start of a day! Damn!

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm..."
>Look worried to the vampire.
>"M-May i come along too ?"

> "E-E... veryone... be my... ... guests..." Corin hardly articulates words

Nijisa:

>"How did she get behind us ze ?"

> Almost everyone were giving their back at the mansion, so Chloe just came from there.

Kiku-chan:

>"This wasn't supposed to end up like this... Kiku, mind checking up on the Mistress' Sister back home ?"

Niji-chan:

>Nod faintly.

Niji Green:

>"Uhm, can we please check on her ?"

> "Uh?" Meiling asks. "It's okay, I guess..."
> "Why so suddenly?" Elly asks.

Daiko:

>"What are you trying to get at with this?"

> "... I-I was right..." Corin barely talks. "You are... j-just words..."
> Remilia remains silent. She has an unamused expression.
> "... So... rry..."
> The scarlet vampire sighs. She approaches.
> "Mistress?" Sakuya asks.
> She gets closer until she's in the shade of Corin's umbrella, held by you. She takes it and approaches to Chloe.
> "Hm?" Questions Chloe when Remilia offers not Corin's umbrella, but hers.
> "... If you are polite enough, then you would come to my mansion to bring my umbrella back. When that happens, I will give yours." Remilia says to Corin.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"I dunno... Kiku-chan just asked me."

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh..."

Niji-chan:

>"R-Really ?"

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"I dunno... Kiku-chan just asked me."

> "Oh, okay." Meiling looks at Elly. "Mind it?"
> "Nah. Go ahead."
> Meiling nods and looks at you. "Please, follow me." She walks inside the mansion.

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh..."

> Chloe looks at Corin, who nods faintly.
> The maid takes the umbrella.
> "And if you have honor, then you would come personally." Remilia starts to leave. "Sakuya."
> Sakuya just sighs and follows Remilia.
> Until they vanish from all your view in the red mist.

Niji-chan:

>"R-Really ?"

> "... c... C..."
> "Mistress, please don't talk anymore." Chloe starts to walk to the mansion. "Let them pass."
> She says before entering the void of darkness.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Follow them too.

Niji-chan:

>Stare a bit into the light, then make a light sphere with the ambient light.
>Head inside while examining the sphete.

Nijisa:

>Follow the maid too.
>"Something wrong Niji ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Just an curiousity..."

[Neovereign]

//What a SUCKY start of a day! Damn!

//Got that right on my side too...

Keine-V!Daiko:

>"Keine... I think it was just something between the vampires. But, it may have been resolved for now... We'll be trying to understand their possible involvement in the children now, and we'll be trying to get them if they are present..."

Daiko:

>"...O-Okay..."
>Follow the two inside.

Tsuru:

>"I'm sorry for not listening Sakura."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Follow them too.

> You follow, albeit a bit hesitantly due to this darkness surrounding the inner sides of the mansion...
> ... When you trespass the darkness, you can see the purple-like mansion. It's pretty big, but you don't think like the SDM, since they don't count with Sakuya's abilities... you think so, at least.
> Chloe, still holding Corin, starts heading to a hallway.

Niji-chan:

>Stare a bit into the light, then make a light sphere with the ambient light.
>Head inside while examining the sphete.

Nijisa:

>Follow the maid too.
>"Something wrong Niji ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Just an curiousity..."

> You create a light sphere with the light around you.
> It feels... uneasy... and it's the same color of the red mist...
> You and your clone follow the other two.

//Got that right on my side too...

Keine-V!Daiko:

>"Keine... I think it was just something between the vampires. But, it may have been resolved for now... We'll be trying to understand their possible involvement in the children now, and we'll be trying to get them if they are present..."

> "Just tell me when you have the kids with you. Then, I'll tell everyone they are okay." V!Keine nods. "Good job, Daiko."

Daiko:

>"...O-Okay..."
>Follow the two inside.

Tsuru:

>"I'm sorry for not listening Sakura."

> You follow, alongside the others.

> "..." Sakura looks at the melting horn in your hand. "It was going to turn off the fire and heal her a bit..."
> You notice that Sakura is... smaller than before...
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>Give it back to her.
>"I just couldn't..."

Niji-chan:

>Did the light repel the darkness ?

Niji Green:

>Follow.

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Give it back to her.
>"I just couldn't..."

> You offer the half-melted horn to her, but she doesn't accept it.
> She's the same size like you by now.
> "It's okay... Let's hope the residents can do something..." Her voice also is more like it was before all the changes she suffered.

Niji-chan:

>Did the light repel the darkness ?

> It did not. In fact, it seems the darkness was "grateful" with that light and was enveloping it a bit.
> As soon as you walk inside, you notice something: That feeling of the Bamboo Forest, when Megumi started talking.

Niji Green:

>Follow.

> You follow Meiling.

> (White) "... Are you going to take them off or do I have to do it myself?" Marry glances to your underwear a bit.

> (Bastet) ... You are floating...
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"Take it, it's your horn, if you do then you will go back to your new self."

Niji White:

>"Um..."
>Take them off.

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... this light is really weird..."
>Make one using the light we have stored now, then compare the two.
>Then absorb the strange light and try making an clone with it, expel it if it doesn't work.

Nijisa:

>"Oh, it's that Megumi devil again."

Bastet-chan:

>Look around.

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Take it, it's your horn, if you do then you will go back to your new self."

> "I won't. I have to wait for my horn to grow back."
> She shrinks a bit more, until it stops. You are a biiit taller than her. Her chest, needless to say, it's a table compared to moments ago. The clothes she's wearing... are a bit large...

Niji White:

>"Um..."
>Take them off.

> You take your underwear off.
> "G-Great! N-Now... get in there..." She nudges to the pond.

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... this light is really weird..."
>Make one using the light we have stored now, then compare the two.
>Then absorb the strange light and try making an clone with it, expel it if it doesn't work.

> You make a light sphere with the energy you have stored. It appears besides the other one to make a comparation.
> It's definitely different. It feels... sad...
> You absorb the light, and as quick as you do so, you start to feel ill.
> You try to do the process to make a clone.
> Your wings change to some kind of ash color.
> A gray-ish sphere appears in front of you. It vanishes afterwards, and a new you is there.

Nijisa:

>"Oh, it's that Megumi devil again."

> You don't receive any answer to that statement, just silence...
> You notice by now, however, that Seija is following both of you closely.

Bastet-chan:

>Look around.

> You look... around...
> You are in space! You can see the Moon so close! And the Earth! You are in SPACE!

> (Green) "Here." Meiling stops at a door in the basement.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>Knock.

Tsuru:

>"If you ask Daiko he can probably manage something to accelerate it."

Niji-chan:

>Examine the new clone while beckoning her to follow us.

Bastet-chan:

>"Whoaaa..."

Niji White:

>"Join me."

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>Knock.

> You knock...
> ...
> "...?" Meiling knocks. "Young Mistress?"
> ...
> "Flan?" She knocks again.
> ...
> "Huh... maybe she isn't in her room..."

Tsuru:

>"If you ask Daiko he can probably manage something to accelerate it."

> "Huh?"

Niji-chan:

>Examine the new clone while beckoning her to follow us.

> All of your features in this Niji that changed like Nijisa are... gray... Everything. Wings, hair, clothes...
> "... This sucks..." She says while she follows you with her look down.

Bastet-chan:

>"Whoaaa..."

> "Oh, hi." Someone besides you speaks.

Niji White:

>"Join me."

> "Now- W-What?!" Marry jumps.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Maybe she is asleep... lemme see..."
>Look worried and open the door cautiously.

Tsuru:

>"Your horn is energy, he can also manipulate energy, it's a simple concept."

Niji-chan:

>"You are so... depressive..."
>Keep going.

Nijisa:

>Approach Chloe.
>"I'm sorry..."

Bastet-chan:

>"Nyo~?"
>Turn around.

Niji White:

>"You have some slime on your hair, so you gotta clean up too."

//Wait for Mini.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"...If I absorb the energy of your horn into mine, I could give it back to you as yours grows... or something? I haven't tried before of course and it's better than letting it go to waste."
>Take the horn from Tsuru if she lets us.

Tsuru:

>Give Daiko the horn.

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"Maybe she is asleep... lemme see..."
>Look worried and open the door cautiously.

> "No-"
> You open the door slowly... which makes one of the most loud and creepy sounds you have heard in a while.
> By now, it's obvious that Flandre isn't in the room.

Tsuru:

>"Your horn is energy, he can also manipulate energy, it's a simple concept."

> "I don't know if you have noticed... but..." She points at it. "It's almost solely water..."

Niji-chan:

>"You are so... depressive..."
>Keep going.

> You and the other two continue. Seija maintains her distance.
> "I don't care... I just want to sleep... like... forever..." She says.

Nijisa:

>Approach Chloe.
>"I'm sorry..."

> You walk a bit faster to catch Chloe.
> "Ssh..." She shushes in a warm way. "... She's asleep..."
> Corin's expression when asleep... it's really cute, as if a little kid sleeping is in front of your eyes, instead of a mandatory and polite vampire.
> "Where are you going?" Marisa asks.
> "To the infirmary." Chloe replies. "Lady Rin must heal her burns."

Bastet-chan:

>"Nyo~?"
>Turn around.

> You are greeted by... a girl with a santa hat? Welp, it seems someone's is hoping for Christmas to happen already.
> "Hi. You are in the Dream World."

Niji White:

>"You have some slime on your hair, so you gotta clean up too."

//Wait for Mini.

> "I-I... uh... t-that's true..." Marry pokes one finger of each hand against each other. "... You... don't mind it...?"

Daiko:

>"...If I absorb the energy of your horn into mine, I could give it back to you as yours grows... or something? I haven't tried before of course and it's better than letting it go to waste."
>Take the horn from Tsuru if she lets us.

Tsuru:

>Give Daiko the horn.

> You give the almost-completely-water horn.
> It feels... really cold... You can feel how the energy is starting to dissipate.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Quickly absorb what energy's left into our horn.

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Huh... maybe the library ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Sorry, but now is not the time."

Nijisa:

>Silently. "Daw... anyways, i'm sorry for all that happened, i really expected an better ending than this ze..."

Bastet-chan:

>"Dream World ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Quickly absorb what energy's left into our horn.

> You absorb it. The water starts to disappear, alongside the almost melted horn.
> ,,, Your horn hurts a bit.,.
> "...?" Sakura glances at your head.

Niji Green:

>"Huh... maybe the library ?"

> "Yea, maybe..." Meiling looks at the door. "C-Close it already, it's really annoying..." Meiling closes the door ofr you.

Niji-chan:

>"Sorry, but now is not the time."

> The depressive Niji only whines in answer.

Nijisa:

>Silently. "Daw... anyways, i'm sorry for all that happened, i really expected an better ending than this ze..."

> "It's okay." Chloe replies as she keeps advancing. "... You, however, have to say that to Milady."
> Chloe heads in to a room where there's no door.
> Atop the door frame is a sign: "Infirmary".

Bastet-chan:

>"Dream World ?"

> "Yeah! You know... you are sleeping... and you are dreaming... Dream World!" She chuckles. "The name is Doremy Sweet."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Approach too.
>"She said that i could see my daughter, could you please take me there after we are done tending for her ?"

Nijisa:

>Nod.
>"I could stay and keep an eye on her for you ze."

Niji Green:

>Close it.
>"Why did you make it so noisy ?"

Daiko-kun:

>"Ow... what is it ?"

Tsuru:

>Check Daiko out.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>Approach too.
>"She said that i could see my daughter, could you please take me there after we are done tending for her ?"

> You, as if you wished for something and it was granted...
> "Yuu?"
> "W-What happened?!" Someone approaches from the end of the infirmary... which is very large.
> "The Mistress decided to show the veracity of her words, so..." Chloe leaves Corin at one of the stretchers.

Nijisa:

>Nod.
>"I could stay and keep an eye on her for you ze."

> "In fact, I would like you to. I need to inform Milady about this..." Chloe bows a bit and leaves.

Niji Green:

>Close it.
>"Why did you make it so noisy ?"

> Meiling already closed the door.
> "D-Dunno why it was so noisy. Let's go..." Meiling heads to the library.

Daiko-kun:

>"Ow... what is it ?"

Tsuru:

>Check Daiko out.

> Daiko's horn... can be seen without the need to move away his hair...
> "... Well..." Sakura starts.
> _

[Neovereign]

_{^{//Yay, now some of my keys are screwed up from an earlier thing. Nothing online has helped yet and I absolutely love this day so far.}}
Tsuru:

>"It's... larger."

*aiko

Daiko:

>"Eh?"
