Tomoko seemed to startle out of her daze, still holding on to Thackery with her one hand and looking towards him as if unsure if he'd always been there, releasing him to touch his face for a moment before she pulled her hand away to touch her own.
"What happened?" she asked, her voice small, guilt lining her face. She wasn't sure why the feeling felt more like a reaction to her need for the crown that no longer seemed to exist, but... a glance towards Xiu noted that the Baku seemed to have been struck rather hard by the ordeal in particular.
Had..they all seen things? She wasn't sure, but it was with great effort and her legs shaking that she rose up to her feet, still holding on to the Cerberus demon for support.

AJ watched as the remaining toys surrounded the furnace king and sacrificed themselves. The unlimited number of toys came into contact with it and slowly dissipated into sparkles and dust. They could only see thick steam and sparkles. The scene was beautiful was also sad. When everything was gone. there was only one thing left, the crown compared to the empty space just made it more outstanding. Not only AJ, but other students were staring at it too. Then, a loud creak drew his attention from the crown for a moment, it was the exit that each of them was looking for! Now the exit was there, he looked back to the crown, but a disgusting feeling haunted him and stopped him from staring at it. The heat radiated from it, forming a barrier for anyone who came closer. The terrible feeling just made AJ wanna get out as soon as possible. He ran towards the exit and when he perked back, there were several students obsessed, he knew some of them, but can't go back.
Outside was another total different thing, snowy white paradise with candycanes. "What..happen?" Oh, his brother woke up! "Candycane! Yummmmmmy!" The second head can't wait but snapped off one who is near them. "Um. Tasty, have some?" AJ picked up a little bit and ate it, the taste of it was sweet, maybe too sweet for his taste. The boil frowned while he swallowed the piece. He also snapped off a few more while the second head started chewing here and there.
After a rich snack, AJ allowed himself to fall onto the snow, recalling what happened so far. It was an interesting part-time, he got the chance to make some toys, he got stuck in the nice room which he made a smile when he thought of that. The most exciting part should be the furnace king. However, until now, he didn't get the answer why the toys chose to give up their lives. The smile on his face turned into a serious look.
There was their guide, it meant time to head back. Like the others, he stepped into the portal. The next minute, he could feel the warmness, as if welcoming him.
He is back, to Amityville.

Waking up in a bleary daze, Gene blinked as she took in her surroundings. Students - a lot of them. Her peers, actually, all getting up and looking just as dazed and confused as her. Had they all had troubling visions of power; or reigning supreme over each other?
She berated herself for having such visions locked away inside. She never wanted to rule or to be in charge, she just wanted to be well known and well liked.
Seeing Xiu walk away with some new jewelry and a posture indicating a heavy heart worried her. She had Riley with her though - she wouldn't need the doppelganger at the moment. She'd check in on her sometime later, maybe bring some coffee.
Spying the secretary at that point, Gene began to make her way to the portal, looking back once at the factory. This didn't quite seem like what'd she'd heard about Christmas, really...

The vision came and went, leaving Damien to reabsorb the scenery that was forgotten about. green eyes that were able to see student just as bewildered as he was, already the afterimages of a kingdom that didn't exist seemed like a dream, something that would never be.
The furnace king was no more, nothing left, the toys gone as well, the room feeling much more hollow than before, it made the pup ache to get out of there. The other students all looked the same, no odd moments of rampage and flames being emitted into the air.
As far as the hellhound can see, only Xiu seemed to be sporting a trinket that she was fretting over. The look of concern on her face had him walking over to the ghoul. the stride was quickly ceased when the hair on the back of his neck raised in alarm, something in the air felt menacing, coming from the ghoul's direction. it worried him, but at the same time prevented him from getting closer.
She had Riley and shun. Xiu would be fine, Damien assured himself.
He didn't need him around annoying her.
She didn't need him at all.
Admitting it to himself left him with an odd, hollow feeling. A bitter taste began to grow in his mouth, vile and nauseating as he went out of the room and away from his former crush.
"She will be fine."
Not even the piece of candy cane that he suckled came off as sweet when he past by Arel and into the portal home.

Unfortunately the arrival back to the office was anything other than smooth. It probably started when several elves, who had finally gotten wind of the escape followed after the students, belatedly making it just in time as the portal between worlds closed. And this would all be fine and dandy if there were not several four-feet tall elves currently in some sort of wrestling match with a four-foot tall school secretary (who was currently being beaten with a Candycane).
"And we're taking that directly out of your owed work to us!" Shouted the last elf, the whole troupe satisfied with their damage done to the school secretary, snowballing a portal before hightailing it out of Halloween. They also left a considerable amount of sparkles, candycane, snow, and general holiday cheer ambient in the office.
Arel scowled, attempted his best to straighten his entirely rumbled scarf, wiping the candycane bits from it before turning to face the students. He also notably had one bent antler, one black eye, and someone had written on his forehead "Ho ho this, you loser."
"Not a single word." The secretary glowered at them, in all his four-foot rage. He angrily sat down. "Let's just say that the owner in charge of your job wasn't really happy at your work, but thankfully, he still decided to pay you." He reached over and pulled, or half-hauled half-dragged a giant bag, before dumping the contents all over the office.
Candycanes. Piles and piles and piles of candycanes.
"Merry Jacking Christmas." OOC CONCLUSION:THE RP HAS BEEN CONCLUDED! Hopefully all students have enjoyed their trip to Xmas town! Oh, they should probably pick up their payment: All players get to pick up one of these artifacts for use whenever they please! Make sure you read the instructions carefully on it! IF YOU WERE A CROWN/ SOLO CONTESTANT:The feeling of dissatisfaction, of not obtaining something lingers, as a part of you feels unhinged. You still hunger and desire for it, something, for that power, and that feeling doesn't go away, not easily. You don't physically feel any different, other than strange black fragments that have manifested in your skin: When you have USED up this artifact, the fragments and those feelings also finally go away. This effect only persists as long as you have the artifact! BONUS RP POINTS - ALL PLAYERS GET +2 rp points for participating and another +2 if you go over 800 words! - IF you did a solo you get +1 rp points as well!

Lumikki was suddenly all to happy to see the office and even more happy when she heard they were still getting paid even if they kinda sucked at their job.
When the items that came out of the bag however were candy canes she winced, she had kinda already taken some of those earlier but oh well it never hurt to have more.

Sophie had never been more excited to be back at school in her life death. she placed a hand over her mouth, covering the giggling she was doing as a result of the Elves' attack on Arel. It was a nice, funny ending to a pretty crappy first job. Digging into the sack, she pulled out a candy cane and stuffed it into her own bag. Turning to Alex, she gave a smile. "I'm going back to my room to sew. For hours. I'll text you later tonight."
With a quick hug before he could say anything, Sophie turned and shuffled off in the direction of the undead dorms. Perhaps a little more ticked off now that she realised their payment was candy canes. How the hell was she going to buy fabric with that?[EXIT]

That had been....quite the experience. If it hadn't been for Sophie holding on to him with her death grip and forcefully dragging Alexander out of the furnace kings chamber of misfit toy sacrificial death, the boil would have surely found himself just like the others, throwing himself at that crown, seeking the power it seemed to promise, much like the Fear shard that was hidden inside of his skull clip only amplified what seemed like 100 fold. One outside, however, the pull seemed to ease off, disappearing altogether, and soon they found themselves filing through a portal and back to the school. The zomboil still felt uneasy, and cast many glances behind him, hand squeezing Sophie's not just for her reassurance, but for his own as well. What exactly had happened back there? What was that crowns purpose, and why was it's pull so strong and enticing? More students followed them, including some of those who he had seen go for the crown, so he hoped that meant that everything was okay. "Okay, ya, Soph! I'll talk to you later." He returned the hug, still distracted but plastering a smile across his face as he too reached out to procure a candy cane to shove into his pocket before shuffling away, lost in his own distracted thoughts once more.

AJ witnessed how the school secretary was being beaten by the angry red and green elves while he was leaning against the wall, enjoying the warmness of the office. The poor Arel returned to them after the elves were satisfied and explained how the owner was unhappy about their work, therefore no pay for all. He continued to say the owner was "nice" enough for some compensation - candycanes.
Merry Jacking Chirstmas?
He was there to earn the money he needed for their meals, but now piles of candycanes?! AJ picked up one and though if that could exchange for some seeds, he would be happy, but the truth is cruel.
Anyway, he did have a lot of fun. He stuffed his bag with candycanes, not to mention his brother stuffed them into his mouth fully, before leaving the office. The boil really though he should consider carefully next time.

Terra was still not quite sure what had happened, but she got candycanes out of it, which she decided that she rather liked, and headed off into the snow to build a snowman before going back to her room.
