 xxxx ❥xGet smaller.
Violet thought of Din and ducked under the swing. Her hands were already curled into fists and her bravado was wearing off, so the elf acted on the instinct she'd been practicing for months and threw her right fist. It collided with Acwel's lower left torso with hardly any force behind it, but...

"ARGH!"
Acwel stumbled backwards as if he'd been shot, doubling over and clutching at his side where Violet had hit him. For such a small hit, the man seemed to be in a remarkable amount of pain...

"Acwel!" Gisa shouted, making her way over and steadying her teammate. "Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Her eyes strayed to where he was cupping his hands. "Did she hit your--"

"Yes," Acwel hissed, recovering enough to stand upright but still holding his side gingerly. That ******** b***h. There was something about her too... ah, of course. Acwel had gotten used to that smell. Unadulterated Luna. The bratty girl was an elf.
Gisa's phone in her pocket beeped, and Acwel instantly understood what it meant. "Gisa," he said calmly, removing a strange bottle with a long, glass tube for a neck from his pouch, "I believe it's been five minutes."
He stepped towards Camille, Ziza, and Violet.
(A pissed-off Pact member has entered the sphere.)

A heavy sharp suck of air, the sound of beeping and the whirr of machinery. "s**t. Ok, I'm coming, give me two minutes max. Loren, come on."
Marianne took off running.

「Muna nodded in approval at End's whispered words, keeping an eye out for Acwel and Michael. He kicked at the dirt, looking as cool and casual as possible -- until a loud yell caught his attention.
Muna swiveled his head in alarm, eyes widening when he spotted Violet between the bodies of students. He saw her fist where Acwel's torso was and his body started before he could even think, leaving Shanta and End to shove his way through the crowd to the little group.
Wait. He remembered that guy -- recalled seeing him on a rooftop trying to kill Shanta -- his feet sped up until he finally reached the group. Muna swung his marble off of his neck in the same moment he grabbed Violet's arm and roughly yanked her behind him. He narrowed his eyes and leveled Gisa and Acwel with a nasty glare, a scimitar just barely sputtering to life in his hands. It glowed weakly with acid, but only just so. "...Lets...calm down," He warned, voice soft. 」

 ╯Bαмвι Lιάɴɢx♠ xToмαѕ╰ xxx♔x2ɴᴅ ʏᴇᴀʀx♔ "It's a dumb usual one." Bambi pointed out as well. She pursed her mouth together and frowned, glancing in the direction where Ziza had gone. Chang seemed sated with Ty's apology and shook his snout 'no', patting Ty's forearm with a hoof before settling in.
Bambi waited patiently as he spoke until she could get her own words in. "...Look, the only reason we managed to trip up Leah was because she wasn't expecting us. The only reason we didn't get as injured as we could have was out of sheer dumb luck and Ziza's pass. That's not going to happen twice, especially not this time." She said as soon as he finished talking. "If you -- and I mean, I'm totally useless like this, but -- if you really want to do this, and whoever else wants to, then you're going to have to go after their brands. It's the only surefire way to make sure they feel pa-- "
A shout. Bambi fell silent, eyes flicking to the source of the noise, face draining of color when she spotted red-and-black. "Oh--oh no." She was tall enough to see everything, spotted the way Acwel grabbed at his side and immediately snatched Chang out of Ty's hands before firmly pushing a hand into the small of his back. "Go," She whispered hastily. "They'll kill me on sight if they see me. Go."

 OOC: "I was just picking at straws," Gil murmured at Ian's lack of faith in the 'sign the thing for the council' plan. "The dealing with the whole sphere maker thing seems like a great idea. I mean, if we could ******** get to them." Gil looked around for a clue of how to do that, but saw something else instead. "You three can work that s**t out, there's something I need to do."
He left his group of friends and made his way to another friend. He joined Thane sitting on the ground. "What's up?" he asked, trying to sound casual. "I mean other than our lives being in the balance or whatever. But we can ******** get through that fine. We have alright, right? In another universe. This would be a ******** awkward conversation if you forgot."

"You are most definitely not." He scolded as Yvonne returned, putting a hand on her shoulder to steady her. He rifled through his bag and produced a half empty bottle of water, quickly pressing it into her hands. "Don't do that again, I don't have any more of this."
He listened silently to Gil and Ian's conversation, eyes focused on Yvonne next to him. Icarus always preferred to hear what others thought before he put in his own suggestions and opinions, and he paused at Ian's mention of Tyme. "Get Socket to distract her," He suggested as Gil suddenly took his leave. "Or..."
Icarus' eyes fell on Ashes, and he frowned. She was an adult already. There wasn't much information on phoenixes, the creatures were entirely mysterious, and Icarus had no idea what exactly she was capable of. He knew of a rumor that phoenix tears had healing properties, and maybe she would be able to spontaneously combust...but then what after that? What else? He wasn't exactly interested in putting the life of his bird on the line, especially not after he had sigiled her only just before the Tree was destroyed. Ashes smoothed Yvonne's hair with her beak, crooning.
The sound of a yell caught his attention, along with a figure in red-and-black suddenly entering the sphere. His eyes fell on the device in Acwel's hands and Icarus felt a chill of horror run down his spine for more than just phobia-related reasons. Don't tell me.
"Gil," Icarus said, raising his voice so to be heard. There was a tinge of something high and nervous in his voice. Needles did not bring back pleasant memories. "Get back here." He ripped his eyes away from the device to look to see where his friend had gone, and his eyes landed on Thane. Icarus recognized them immediately, having seen them in the commons occasionally. "Hey, you too, get over here." ■ ■ ♕

Thane smiled a little as Gil sat down beside them, but that smile soon faltered. "That may be, but when we where there, at least we had some control..." Thane brushed the dirt and grass off of their hands. "I just don't know..." They trailed off as they looked up to see Icarus yelling over to Gil.

Potato's mouth twisted into a glower. The whole point of finding everyone else was to keep them close together and less noticeable, not bring attention to them. "'Yea, well, f'rgive me f'r havin ******** premonition th't y'd rather 'em figure out later. Stay conscious'a y'r surroundings. Pot callin th'kettle black, but y'can't go treatin s'mthin this up close'n personal trivial if y'might end up ******** dead."
She noticed that a pact member had entered the circle, and her ears thudded with the noise of her jump-started pulse. Potato tightened her grip on Cabbage uneasily, noticing his silence and not wanting him to lose focus if the confrontation went sour. s**t. Rowan and Whit's antics didn't really matter now that the pact member and the trio of girls had drawn the attention towards themselves. Better those three than their two.
"Dunno Cabb, but nothin good comes outta showin y'rself t'these people," Potato said warily. Their vision dimmed and they shook their head, not wanting to lose clarity, and fell silent with nothing else to say.

► If only we could get to the sphere maker. Yeah, that was the problem, wasn't it. They didn't have a decent way to get up to the sphere maker with them trapped in here. "Socket's too conspicuous," he said dismissively. "We'd need something smaller and less obviously robo--"
Ian paused. Wait a minute. Smaller and less obviously robot. Didn't I build something like that? "Icarus," he said slowly, "what about--"
Someone yelled, and Ian twisted in that direction automatically to see a figure clad in red and black enter the sphere. Socket's software automatically started feeding him information on the weird bottle in his hand as he wondered what it was, and a dozen things went through his mind at once. It keeps us in, but only us. Anyone from outside can enter. Residual traces of Luna on the pointy tube end. Main chamber masterfully enchanted to constantly shift its shape. That's a container meant to hold Luna.
Ian arrived at his conclusion and whitened in horror. "You've gaht t'be feckin' kiddin' me." ■

TYᔕOᑎ ᗯIᑎᗪᔕᒪOᗯ
Ty's eyes widened when he saw Acwel enter the circle. The little kid must have thrown one sick punch. It didn't take an elf to tell that the tension had risen within the sphere of influence. Bambi's sobering realism weighing on his shoulders, he knew that the Tomas girl (Violet?) had probably hit the pact member's mark.
He twisted back around when Bambi pushed him and recognized a too-familiar look on her face. "Will do," Ty consented, hoping she would hide herself well enough among the other students. He didn't doubt that she could; she had survivalist tendencies. "Be careful, yo."
Praying that he didn't stick out like a sore thumb, Ty approached the group of students around Acwel.

 OOC:
Camille stayed as still as possible as the Tomas student moved away then reattached herself. Even the appearance for Ziza only made her shift her gaze to her girlfriend, silently pleading for assistance. Eventually the other student was relaxed enough to let go, giving Camille some breathing room. Briefly. Until she muttered a comment about the group who was keeping them captive.
Dumb. That was dumb. This person hasn't pulled us all into trouble. Camille thought as the girl's comment brought over a red hooded person and began an argument, ending in an injury. Camille glanced as the person stepped into the sphere. Five minutes were up, as he mentioned. She gave Ziza a look, hoping that Ziza wouldn't do anything too brave. Ziza was a strong-willed person but this was not the time. This girl had dug her own grave and she didn't want Ziza diving into it, seeing as she didn't know the spell to drag her back out.
She took a step back, hoping Ziza would follow her lead.

 OOC:
A yell made End lower the phone down. Someone was hurt. He hoped it wasn't a student. Honestly, he hoped it wasn't anything, just that he was mishearing the tone of the scream. Anyone being injured in this tense situation would be terrible, not that being injured wasn't terrible in the first place.
He followed Muna as he moved, of course. It'd be odd if he didn't. He gazed over the situation. A Blood Pact member he vaguely recognised, stepping closer to Ziza, Violet and another student. He joined Muna in trying to defuse the situation. "Please... can we negotiate....?" He stepped forward into the space. He really didn't have any hope that the Pact would agree to this. From experience, they didn't. But he was hoping that it would give them at least time.
