I'm just making sure the feast goes well.

[ She said she was a guest earlier? It's fine.

If Alphinaud takes a closer look, he'll see pages similar to what he saw earlier, but also others. Things like controlling time and other powers. It looks like there's years worth of collecting here. ]

[evocationary]

[ she just scowls. ]

By being a gross meat monster and teleporting all over the dang place? Is that how that works?

[arcsplainist]

[ Oh. Oh, hm.




Have fun, Lup, he'll be busy collecting some of these papers for himself. ]

[retellers]

I'm a monster now? Well... I suppose if that's what my part must be.

[ She holds her hand out and it's empty, until it isn't. A knife is suddenly in her grasp, and she moves at quick speed to try to stab Lup. ]

Like this?

[evocationary]

[ THIS IS NOT WHAT SHE'D CALL FUN

she's not expecting it. she actually yelps, and stumbles backwards out of the bathroom, trying to grab for her sword to defend herself, but - she is not a swordswoman, so if she even manages to get it off her belt, it'll be clumsy at best. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ ....... Why is there a sudden commotion—

Alphinaud steps out into the hallway again just in time to spot Lup stumbling out, and the girl from before lunging towards her with a knife. He, too, audibly yelps in shock. ]

[retellers]

[ We have now all realized a problem with this IC grouping, and it's, why did we put the two elves who are used to fighting with magic together.

But as Lup is too startled to do any proper defending, the girl is going to aim to stab Lup right in the side. ]

Am I doing it right?

[evocationary]

No, actually! That's --

[ too late, she stabs her, right in the side, right in the ow part, which is like, all of it. the burst of pain cuts lup off, and she chokes on it, staggering backwards.

does the knife go with her? either way, lup's going to pull her sword out and try to hit back. try, being the key word here, considering she's now knifed. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ Alphinaud is just. Watching in horror for a moment?

But as this girl dodges a swing from Lup, aimless as it were, a moment of courage strikes Alphinaud; he runs up quickly behind the girl in an attempt to wrestle her back. He isn't strong at all, but if it'll give Lup a fighting chance, if for a moment...! ]

[retellers]

[ The knife goes with her.

The girl just blinks in surprise as Alphi grabs her, and she turns to try to look at him. ]

Isn't this a little familiar?

[evocationary]

[ okay, well, she's just going to leave that there and uh. sit down. it sure is nice on the floor with this knife in her side. ]

[arcsplainist]

Away from her!!

[ He will shove her away from Lup, thank you! ]

And here I thought you were naught but another piece on his board. Forgive me, Ruby.

[retellers]

Am I not? Why kind of game are we playing?

She looks at her hand. Where is our effect. ]

[evocationary]

[ she tries to pull herself to her feet, grabbing for her sword again, but it's slow going... ]

You suck. [ hm, good, great comeback ]

[arcsplainist]

[ Lup isn't even wrong. ]

We are playing the game where you tell me who you really are and why you are here.

[retellers]

Huh? I told you, I'm a guest.

[ She's trying to knock Alphi off of her now. ]

[evocationary]

A guest who just! Stabbed me!

[ ??? ] We don't have time for this, can you just speedrun us through the answers before I bleed out? That'd be great. Just wonderful.

[ she's swaying here with her sword. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ She doesn't have to try very hard; Alphinaud is knocked off fairly easily. He stumbles back, but catches his footing quickly, at least. ]

We have not the time for your playing coy!

[retellers]

[ She just gives them both a slightly baffled look. ]

Are you sure you're not jesters? You're very funny.

[ She shakes her left hand a little--and part of her arm up to her fingers turns into a blade. ]

[evocationary]

[ what the fuck is this girl made of

lup watches the last of her fucks fly away and just jumps forward to slash at this girl with her sword. it's not half bad - she's had some training. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ what

the fuck


sorry Lup he can only uselessly watch on and pray ]

[retellers]

[ I'm so glad for him.

Well, she has to step back as a sword is aimed at her?? She frowns, clearly not expecting either of them to actually attack?? Why. And then attempts to slash back. ]

[evocationary]

[ she's going to do her best to try and protect alphinaud here, but again, knife in the side. that slash is probably going to hit her. snapped at him: ] Run, you ding dong! Get out of here!

[retellers]

Hm?

[ Lup calling out to Alphinaud makes the girl turn to look at him. There's a short pause, before she suddenly runs off in his direction, her blade arm now aiming for him. ]

Sorry for ignoring you! That was rude of me.

[arcsplainist]

[ Alphinaud does eventually come to the conclusion that he should run—unfortunately, it came too late.

With panic gripping his entire being, he turns to flee, but chances are she's faster than him. ]
