 GM POST"Do you not like what you have seen in your future?" A voice rang out, clear and crisp, as the mirrors seemed to melt away. The room shook - once, twice - and there was a flash of bright light. When Team Venture could see again, they would find themselves in a field, the area littered with fresh body part, red and bloody. Even the sky was painted red, crows cawing as they circled the sky, eyeing the many fresh corpses around with greedy eyes.
"Do you want to change the future?" The voice continued to speak before going silent, as if giving them the chance to mull over its words. A creature about the size of a full grown cat then walked out from the carnage and sat down in front of the group, staring at the students. A moment later, it spoke, its OwO expression unchanging, "Would you like to make a contract with me? I will grant you a wish - any wish your heart desires - if you do."
[OOC NOTE:
Answer the creature in bold + orange!]

The voice that rang out next startled Bul up. Snarling, the half beast put his arms out in front of Willow and panted steadily as he managed to stop crying.
"I know how to change the future already... I know what I need to do..." he growled in a low key.
"I'm not trusting anything else that comes out of this jack damned room."

Willow squeaked at the bloody mess around them. She watched Bul as he put his arms out in front of her. "Wait...that face!"
She peeked around him eyes narrowing, "Bul, I think that thing was at the Floresctival... maybe open house too... but I know it was at the Floresctival."
Her tail twitched uneasily as he answered it. She was confused as to why it kept popping up.

Damien could barely recall what he saw in the mirror for the briefest of moments. "I cant remember much of what i saw, but even if it felt real, its not right now is it?" he said flatly to the Beast that managed to rub away the streaks from his face. Whatever it was, the demon dog was glad he was spared from its horrible vision.
"I'll agree to that, let get out of here fast." he nodded in approval and moved to help the boil up. Until another voice decided to taunt them and twist the room into a more horrible sight. This time he wasn't spared from it as lings and hollow eyes piled up around, it was enough the disgust him and horrify him. "What, wha..... No, of course we didn't like it you piece of vermin!" he hollered back at the thing that came to greet them, f you call the welcome mat around them a greeting. He sincerely hoped it wasn't the parts of former students he was standing on.
The face it had on was even worse, unfazed by the landscape and ever attentive to them, always staring. It was much like the creatures that flocked at the gym in florescival. "Your right Willow, its that face, but these are darker.... the ones from before were pale." he said right after her statement, inching closer to the group for their security and comfort against the body pileup. "This isn't real, this isn't real...."
"I WILL NOT BELIEVE IN YOUR LIES OR YOUR FALSE WISHES!"

Cady returned the hug from Bea with a cheerful slug on the shoulder. She wasn't sure what was wrong with Bul- his eyes were leaking and he looked really tired. Maybe he was going to take a nap?
Before she could inquire about his distress, something made the room shake again. And then there was yet another bright light. This was really starting to get annoying.
When her vision cleared, there was a small creature standing in front of their group, offering wishes? And everyone was talking to it.
"What's a contract?"

Bea found Willow's lick to Bul's face was very amusing, but when the boil came to, he looked like a wreck. She stood quietly wondering if there was any way for her to comfort him, until Cady gave her a friendly jab on her shoulder. The soreness of her arms didn't make it better.
When the mysterious black cat arrived, it was the strangest coincidence that it came right after everyone recovered from their nightmares. "What are you?!" Bea snapped at the thing, "You were the one who were giving us horrible visions, weren't you!" If it was, she didn't want anything to do with that cat.

It tilted its head to the left and then to the right, the two long ear-like appendages extending out from either side of its head seemingly gravity defying. Somehow, you get the feeling that it was confused by the many accusations despite its never-changing expression...
"Lies...? I merely showed you a glimpse of the future," It replied, standing up on all fours and slowly walking towards the group, its long, fluffy tail waving behind it. The room started to warp, fizzling in and out like a glitched computer game, "And I offered you a chance to change it... All you had to do was make a wish - any wish... And I would grant you the power to change your future."
As the world around them continued to glitch, the creature kept advancing. It was really close now - perhaps too close for comfort for some of the students...?
[OOC NOTE:
-> Pick 'attack' or 'wish'; put your choice in bold + orange at the top of your post!
-> Post your HP!
-> If you attack, normal mechanics apply! You can choose to attack normally or use your FEAR; if you use your FEAR, post your fear + the type (battle cry, barrier, etc) in your post.
-> Remember to include damage or 'miss' in your post.]

"SHUT UP!!"
Bul bore his jagged sharp teeth at the small creature. "Come any closer-" the boil began to rear forwards. "And I'll eat you." Now transformed into his natural self the monster lept forwards to attempt to bite the small defenseless adorable demon spawn.

Willow looked at the little monster her ears flicked backwards. "You know Bul.... you could just play kick the mini with it." She suggested after the half beast looked like he was trying to eat that thing. "It probably doesn't taste good either." She looked at the little creature, kick the monster was a very good idea.
She grinned and aimed a nice kick towards the fluffy black cat thing. Instead she seemed to miss the creature all together. Willow looked a little perplexed at the fact that she missed.

ATTACKING
Even with the threats, Damien still felt the chill go down his back at its unwavering fearlessness that continued to press on him and the others. "No, your lying." he whimpered out quietly. "You have this power but you do nothing to help out earlier, your lying!." he stammered out from behind Bul, before leaping over the newly formed lizard and taking a spot next to willow in order to punt it into the mirror maze and let it watch its own blinking eyes for eternity.
"Take your power and your wishes and just shove it!"

Attack
It was that thing who gave everyone nightmares, but it offers its help to the team... it could grant wishes. But at what cost? It said something about a contract, which must have some sort of catch right? Bea felt conflicted.
Watching Bul and Demi attack the thing as it was approaching made Bea feel almost sad for it. It did look kind of cute in a strange way... Bea was always attracted to creature type things. "I-It's so cute, though!" Feeling a bit entranced by it, she ran up to the creature and gave it a death squeezing hug.

HP: 28 Damage: ZERO LOLS Attack? SUREAnd then everyone started hitting the thing. Well, not everyone. Bea just ran up and gave it a hug. That is, if strangling it between your arms was considered a hug. Cady wasn't sure what was really going on anymore. Something about wishes, something about contacts- contacts? Did the creature have a problem with it's eyesight? Whatever the case, it's mere presence seemed to deeply offend her team. And let's be honest - Cady was never one to really question the necessity of punching things once the blows began to rain down. Or biting things. Or clawing things. Or hitting things with her tail. As luck would have it, however, her random slapping motions came nowhere near to hitting the target.

"Oh."
Was all the creature said as it stood still, taking all the blows the students were dashing up. It did not flinch. It did not twitch. Just stood there, its expression static. The students' blows had somehow torn through the creature like scissors through fabric, and it was ripped in some areas - those who cared to take a closer look would see that there was no blood gushing from these wounds, and that it appeared to be completely solid.
No bones, no veins, no internal organs.
"That's a real shame."
It fizzled - once, twice - and then vanished into thin air just as their surroundings became white walls that were too bright to look at. All at once, each Team Venture would be bombarded with a vision - future or past, it showed them something that, in truth, happen in reality.
Bul would see bars, pulsing with electricity... And beyond that, Mei, her face stained with tears, seemingly weak from struggling too much, her hair messy and disheveled, her clothing torn and burned. A tall, hooded man was holding her by her long hair, dragging her out from her cage and across the dirty floor. She managed to look up just as she was dragged out of the room filled with cages, straight into the eyes of her boilfriend - her mouth parted to form the words 'I love you'. As she vanished from view, you could hear the tall, hooded man laughing to someone about how he wanted to test his new weapon, made from a mindflayer...
Demi would see the back view of a feminine figure he could recognize straight away - a figure he hadn't seen or heard from for a long time. He would reach out a hand, as if to hold her back and beg her to stay, but when he did, he would find that he had been cuffed up. The glowing, blue runes along the cuffs that held him in place told him that he had been captured by the enemy. He would then open his mouth in an attempt to yell - only to realize that he had been nuzzled him a common dog. In his head, a voice - his other voice - taunted, "Useless pup... No wonder she doesn't want you."
Bea would find herself isolated in a cell without windows, and with only a single door. She was fading in and out, in and out, like she could just fade away forever... Against her will. She got this sinking feeling that everyone she had considered her 'friend' had either died by the hands of the enemy, transformed into the very weapons that helped captured her, or left her behind... If she faded away, would anyone care? Would anyone cry for her? Would anyone even notice...?
Cady would find herself chained up to a wall in her natural form, her wings torn out and blooded, her tail wrapped up so thickly in chains that she couldn't move it. A figure she would recognize as her guardian was sobbing in a corner as she looked up, her eyes filled with disappointment, "Why did you do that? There are things you're not supposed to eat!" She would get a flashback - they were battling the hooded people whom Bul had told them were the enemy. She had jumped into her natural form, chomping down and tearing up everything in her path... Enemy and friend alike. Perhaps it would be better that she was chained up where she wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else.
Willow would be unable to move - not because she had been chained, but because she was couched down in a small cage; the bars around her had electricity going through it, causing it to glow eerily blue. She was surrounded by hooded people, their hoods obscuring their eyes but not the cruel, sadistic smiles painted on their lips as they studied her every minute movement. She growled in an attempt to ward them off, but they just laughed and laughed and laughed... She looked away, but that just prompted one of them to prod her with the end of a weapon that looked like... No... She looked up, at the hooded figures again. This time, they held weapons that resembled her former team. One of them stepped forward - she was next.

Angry enough as it was, Bul was growing increasingly frustrated as none of his bites did anything significantly damaging to the creature. Its never changing expression sent him into a livid fury of incoherent roars and growls as he struggled with his failure. Pulling back as it began to speak he snarled loudly drool dripping from his gums.
He was not ashamed of his choice to attack. This was a manifestation of evil. CLEARLY. As it started to flicker Bul stood prepared, pulling up onto two feet and standing his ground firmly. Whatever it was prepared to do, he would defend himself and his team with all of his might.
But as the walls burst into a blinding white he shut his eyes tightly and wailed out-
"Guys??!?" he screamed as he returned to his human form and stumbled a bit back into 'electric bars' that shocked his eyes back open and threw his body forwards once more. Thrashing about in his cage he let out a hoarse cry of pain that bellowed from deep within his chest until it ran his throat dry. Amidst his rampage he could see a figure and Mei appear clear as day in front of him. Panting he crawled closer to see what was happening and whimpered silently. Nothing would come out of his throat he'd run it completely ragged.
Bul could feel everything in his body shift to his throat. He couldn't breathe, he couldn't shriek, he was practically immobilized by the vision. Laying helplessly on his stomach, legs and arms contorted like a terrible charlie horse cramp, he watched Mei dragged like a toy across the ground. No amount of willpower could trumph the paralyzing fear that he experienced when the figure drew her farther and farther away from him.
MEI I LOVE YOU TOO PLEASE NOOO! PLEASE JACK NOO! LET HER GOOOO!
Like vapor the words left his mouth in silence as he waited there, constrained in this metaphysical prison. However strong or weak the effects of this hallucination were, Bul was still struggling to keep his grasp on reality.
"WILLOW!!!!
DEMI!!!
CADY!!!!
BEA!!!"
Every now and then syllables caught in his throat but would the others even hear him? Was he really that detached from their current reality? All he could do was hope and pray that the team he'd grown so close to was not experiencing this horrendous nightmare.

[[ENTERING FROM HORSEMAN HUB]]
"How sickeningly fascinating."
The words seemed to come even before the portal to the room opened. The horsemen stepped out into the room, looking over the fiasco that was going on in front of them, giving it a look of strange composure. The students who were sprawled, tormented by visions and the strange black creature who seemed composed in the middle of the room -- the tormentor. He would have said it was enjoying itself.
In fact, as a master of composed and unchanging expressions himself, he would peg that it was exactly what was going on. The only reason why anybody who do such a horrible thing to 'help' was because there was some sort of twisted amusement that came to them because of it. Even Conquest himself was guilty of such archaic notions of that variety at times. Had he tried to stand above it? Certainly, but that made his motivations for kindness far more twisted than they had even been before. Even the Lady Mindflayer's ambitions fed into his own cycle of power. If he fed into her, she would feedback loop into him.
It was a win-win situation, even if he'd never admit such a thing out loud. He would feed the ambitious one and enjoy the results, no matter what they were. He did have a certain expectation of success with her charisma, however.
"A fascinating game you seem to be playing here." he said, his voice not really betraying anything like what he was saying. Was he fascinated? Was he amused? It was possible he really didn't care. However, it seemed like the sort of situation that Eris would find some sickening delight from.
