Trapped in a Nightmare

[noctaeress]

It had been about half an hour since the group who had volunteered (and not volunteered) to join the dreamscape first arrived into the setting Sylvani provided. Though they could not see her, they could at least hear her voice. She had explained to them that this was one of the major battles between the more powerful dreamwalkers and the invading

What the--?!

[the change was sudden, but as soon as it happened, Maka could tell something went horribly wrong; with the air in their surroundings suddenly becoming heavier and their presence being noticed-- by person and monster-- she might have had an idea of what just happened.]

... Dammit-- It figures something would go wrong!

[scytheyouout]

What the hell just happened?

[he stares towards the noctaere, brows furrowing] Damn it. They... can they see us?

[resonancy]

I get the feeling they can now. Seems like the enemy caught wind of what was going on here and decided to mess it all up.

[scytheyouout]

Well, we definitely know how's behind all this now.

[he nods to the noctaere who are starting to approach] Really don't like how close these guys are getting.

[That nightmare lady really creeped Sayaka out. She hadn't had such a feeling before ever since she learned about Kyuubey's true self. But before she could do anything to retaliate, Sayaka and the group she's with were part of the action. This... shouldn't be a problem, right? She just needs to eject herself out of the dream, like in the training session...

...

She couldn't. Understandably, Sayaka becomes quite angry as she transforms in to her magical girl form.]

That bitch! The nightmare lady trapped us all in here!

[knightofchanges]

Looks like it.

[handfulmagica]

[Whoa where did he come from---Oh, it's that guy she dueled with way back when. She's kinda sore from that loss still. Oh well, no time to be all salty. Sayaka readies her sword as the Noctaere advance closer.]

Ugh, this is such a mess!

[A few monsters get a little too close for comfort, and Sayaka deals with them with a few quick cuts of her sword.]

That scientist guy and trainer chick better find a way to get us out of here!

[knightofchanges]

[he'll just be stepping out of the way, letting her handle the noctaere. note how he has yet to unsheathe his own sword.]

I'm sure they will, but it would be kind of weird if we were stuck here forever, huh? Haha!

[Nearby, Nagi's preparing himself for battle. The air almost vibrates around him as he builds a solid telekinetic shield -- touching it will feel like poking a brick wall. His eyes flicker red as he eyes the creatures around them and the woman who trapped them here.

This isn't what he had in mind when he wanted to learn about Somarium.]

[amorallygrey]

I noticed. Are you helpless here?

[He'll help out a little since Shouichi is one of the few people he doesn't completely hate here. The shield bubble extends to surround him as well.]

[lilcharmedwitch]

[So it wasn't just a silly safe field trip anymore, though learning all the dark history was very interesting. Now things were real, and exciting, and gwendolen was sure that the net step to her destiny was here. A slow dark smile crossed her face.
She did not have any fighting experience, but she had her ways. As one of the creatures dove at her, she dashed away and began to blast spells at them as she tried to find a safe place]

[noctaeress]

[and suddenly there is a voice speaking to her, as if through her mind.]

You seem rather excited.

[lilcharmedwitch]

[Gwendolen jumps as she hears the voice]
What_ where are you?

[noctaeress]

[a laugh.]

Around.

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Well this was so not how things were meant to go. This would make the third time Harry's faced down a noctaere and really he's not looking forward to it.

[ He fumbles for his wand for a moment thankful that he's had the past experience, but the creature looks less than worried. ]

[walk_in_grey]

Harry!

[Have one white haired boy clad in white cape with black claw and a monochromatic masquerade mask over his face, Crown Clown lashing out protectively at the beast.]

If you wanna control this critter you can too~

[sonuvasnitch]

[ The creature moves back and hisses at Allen. The fringe around it's neck expands making it look bigger than it really is. Long fangs snap in agitation, but it doesn't appear as if it's going to back down anytime soon. ]

Allen!

[ For a moment Harry doesn't recognize his friend. He doesn't have much time to comment however as the beast lunges for the white haired boy again. ]

Roger that~ o/

[walk_in_grey]

Your new friend doesn't seem all that eager to go home. Are you alright?

[Not taking his eye off of the creature who at the moment is content to try moving to the side to flank Allen and Harry the moment the opening presents itself.]
