Cycle 0​

"I don't know about your experience with your feline traits, but I know I'm plenty capable of falling on my face... It's happened before."

Even Vina seemed to be on board.

"S-seriously, will I be the only one advocating for a safer approach here?!"

 

[Vina Skysong]

Don't worry Fina, we'll be fine~

Vina looked at Nin and Rettah (@Pandora*)

So~! Would the two of you mind if I take a couple of minutes to prepare a Feather Fall spell?

[Crimson Ruby]

Her eyes locked on @Seigi Ling Ling as she requested for a name, which was responded with a curtsy and an offer of a hand shake.

"Crimson Ruby." She smiled, twitching her ears and swaying her tails to emphasize the 'fluffy' the other girl had noticed from the group.

Ruby ears then darted toward the concerns of @Fina Drago, but @Vina Skysong was quite quick to give a solution.

"I like her idea. Combined with the tigress and Seigi giving us some of their muscles, we have a good chance." She rested a finger on her chin as her eyes trailed to Seigi and @Harper, then looking at Nin and Rettay (@Pandora*). "Actually, I can offer a help as well. But in a different way. I could try to mirror our image of being launched toward the Mushroom. This way any immediate enemy will be too surprised to figure out who is the real one, and we will have an even bigger advantage."

""I would agree we are being ratio-ed."

"What? Make things less dangerous? ....heh. Fine, I can get behind both of those ideas. The risk will be good regardless."

"Sigh, anything to improve our odds." (Nin's face is pale.)

@Fina Drago @Vina Skysong @Crimson Ruby

 

[Vina Skysong]

After addressing the myconid Vina turned back towards the fiery caenis (@Pandora*) now even farther away, enhancing her voice to help it carry as she called out.

Excuse me miss! Are you also here for the God Spore?

@Vina Skysong

Excuse me miss! Are you also here for the God Spore?

"That isn't any business of yourrrs! Yes, and you arrrre verrry lucky that I am! Do you want to get in my way? I can tell you'rre one of them beneath that skin of my people you wearrrre! So tamed and submissive! ...stick arround so I can turrrn that white furr charrrcoal!"

Funi twitches and scratches her arm before returning to the shrooms. Her heat continues to build turning everything around her a deep red hue.

@Crimson Ruby

"You need to enjoy yourself more, even if it isn't a near certain death- Besides..."

"Oh, I am enjoying myself! Look at all this?! I wonder what this Shroomcastle of Wonderland has in store for us? I am fucking giddy!"

Draws her metallic rod and taps it in her hand rhythmically. Her eyes emitting a prismatic sheen...

---

"It's not like I expect anyone to understand how mathematics is crucial to.... (Clutches her head for a moment in weariness before adjusting her classes.) "...nevermind. Now's not the time. I suppose I shall make the best use of this opportunity."

Nin watches @Seigi Ling Ling and @Harper for a moment and nods before breaking into a slow jog after them.

 

[Vina Skysong]

Vina looked from the strange platform to the creator, Rettah (@Pandora*). After taking a second or so to think this through she called out to the Death Seeker

Rettah, could you help our friends catch up with us with your platforms? If they fall behind they won't be able to share in whatever deadly obstacles await us~

[Vina Skysong]

Suddenly having an unfamiliar voice (@Pandora*) in your head would normally already be confusing and startling, but in comparison to the inferno that was rapidly expanding as if trying to consume the Godshroom it was rather minor. Vina blinked, her ears swivelling to catch the source, then looked towards the fiery redhead the voice was undoubtedly talking about.

Are you sure staying away is a good idea? That doesn't look healthy! Is she going to be all right?

Vina was neither an expert on metamorphosis nor pyromancy, but it didn't take such proficiency to see that something was seriously wrong with their... violent competitor.

Isn't there some way for us to help her?

---

Having reached the other half of the expedition Vina waved at the stranger (@Pandora*) now carrying Nin, giving her a friendly smile even in the midst of everything that was going on.

Nice to meet you~! Misha, right? I'm Vina Skysong. If you're hungry, how about I make you something to eat after all this? It'd be much tastier than my friend here... no offence Nin~

While the casual manner in which Misha talked about eating someone was certainly disturbing she didn't appear to be really aggressive or anything, so with some luck all she needed was an offer of a good meal to be convinced out of eating Nin.

"Someone responded? Then I really can telepath with beast races? That's pretty neat I guess... Anyway, I don't know if she will be okay. I'm new to this world was it, and I have no idea what I am doing. Just focus on the job if you can. Big sis injected herself with... oh I was told that is classified. Forgive me for elaborating was it?"

Nice to meet you~! Misha, right? I'm Vina Skysong. If you're hungry, how about I make you something to eat after all this? It'd be much tastier than my friend here... no offence Nin~

"You are a chúshī? Mmmmm? I would love to, but I still have to find Tizzy and..." (Is rushed by Seigi.)

 

[Vina Skysong]

Even with Seigi and Nin (and Misha) on her mind Vina didn't forget about the caenis or the mysterious voice (@Pandora*)who seemed to be as surprised at finding itself inside Vina's head as the druidess.

It'll be hard to help her if we don't know what she injected herself with... But if you're not sure if she's going to be okay we can't just ignore her.

That said... I'm Vina Skysong. Can I ask who you are? And who Big Sis is?

 

[Harper]

While Harper was used to getting brain messages, she certainly wasn't used to actually messaging back. So, she would do her best Prof.Xavier impression as she put two fingers to her temple and closed her eyes with a focused expression, trying to reach the voice back. @Pandora*

It looked very goofy.

"Soo, Miss Voice-In-My-Head, before we do anything stupid, let me ask you something: Can your sister even turn back from... Whatever she turned into? It looked really agonizing... And permanent for that matter."

@Crimson Ruby

"I am just glad you are still alive, and with us, Rettah... So we can still figure out this Silent Palace someday."

"Yeah, I love the thrill of the possibility of death. I'm not exactly into when it happens see? If I were to die, I can't enjoy the thrill. Balance gem cat. Balance. Or a semblance of it in this world anyway, heh."

---

@Harper

"Don't be talking about them like they are already dead and rotting at the seams, you brat. Until we get confirmation, we don't give up on anyone here, you hear?"

"You're one to talk stripes. Weren't you right there with them and left them behind? That urge to survive and not come too close to the reaper sure is strong eh?"

Rettah's smirks and gestures back and then forward.

"Even if you're a coward it doesn't matter. If they are worth their salt they will get back to us on their own. If not, (shrugs), that's the game here in Wonderland. It's also easier to go up from here than down with the burning away of our route. That spore is the priority. If we miss it, we all look like losers, while also staying alive to experience the humiliation. I know my priorities."

@Vina Skysong

It'll be hard to help her if we don't know what she injected herself with... But if you're not sure if she's going to be okay we can't just ignore her.

That said... I'm Vina Skysong. Can I ask who you are? And who Big Sis is?

"Big sis is Funi was it? I have been given some of... oh, I think it is best to cut communications. I am impacting the results too much. I've just been assigned to this and I'm already messing up. Nerves was it?"

Silence...

@Harper

"Soo, Miss Voice-In-My-Head, before we do anything stupid, let me ask you something: Can your sister even turn back from... Whatever she turned into? It looked really agonizing... And permanent for that matter."

"...it might wear off, I wasn't given that information Miss. Right now her body has been overclocked to a point where she will incinerate from her own heat levels was it? If not the heat then her mind will break and... there are many possibilities but I'm not really... oh, I should shut up."

Silence...

@Seigi Ling Ling

"..."

Nin lies motionless on the ground as the carnage unfolds.
The slits of her eyes fully close once again.

 

[Vina Skysong]

Vina didn't bother to deny Funi's declaration that they were all weak compared to her. However, she did speak up after the Lunatic Princess (@Pandora*) questioned their decision to help her.

Just because we're all after the same thing doesn't mean we have to be at odds Funi. Whatever you injected yourself with doesn't seem to be good for you, so we wanted to make sure you were okay~

She looked towards the monarch avatar even as she kept talking to Funi.

We can figure out what to do with the God Spore afterwards. Don't worry, we won't get in your way Funi, so for now let's show Bat Girl up there not to underestimate us. Just don't turn my fur into charcoal, okay~?

[Fina Drago]

Cycle 6
Before Fina was turned into a pancake by the boss​

Glancing at @Harper after her comment, Fina stammered a little.

"O-oh, I didn't- I wasn't trying to taunt you, sorry..."

The tiger girl seemed to be rather upset about this whole situation. Especially with all the comments coming from the strange vampire lady. And then one specific word struck a nerve.

"Um, for all it's worth, I like the way your fur looks... that pattern on your back is especially cool."

 

[Harper]

"O-Oh, uh, right, no offense taken, don't worry. Just a eeny bity frustrated, that's all. Maybe more than a little bit..."

She'd look to the side for a moment, before her ears perked up at the mention of her fur as her gaze returned towards @Fina Drago , a proud smirk on her face as she turned her exposed back towards the beastkin, the unique pattern on her back flowing with the wind blowing through them.

"Really damn nifty, ain't it? Took a while to get the process down, but I can groom myself pretty well now!"

 

[Fina Drago]

Cycle 6
After attacking the boss​

After her attack, Fina landed near Harper, looking at the tiger almost in disbelief.

"Pretty sure that was far greater a feat than what I did before, just saying."

 

[Vina Skysong]

Sorry about that Funi~!

Given the caenis's prickly nature, Vina would leave it at that. The fact that they weren't exactly in a situation where they could just have small talk also played a role.

Once everyone was falling and Vina spotted Rettah and Nin (@Pandora*) sliding their way down she called out to them, her performance continuing all the same.

Rettah! Nin! I'm glad to see you're all right~! And it looks like you're having fun as well~!

She also looked over at where @Crimson Ruby, Harper, and Funi were making their way down, her friendly sylphs guiding the way down.

Ruby! Can you give Funi a hand?
