Acelr Casper got sucked into Pilot's accidental twister as it grew and destroyed a fountain, killing all the water creatures and all the people not quite drowned yet. The Butterfly reached the throne and climbed up on it. The Knave put on an amiable smile and approached Ruby, Cordelie, and the neon angel, juggling. "Ah! Tis the goddess again, and new friends," the Knave greeted. "Now I seem to remember the goddess liking my entertainment... Do you suppose your new friends would like to see it, as well? I even have new tricks." And the Knave winked. The former 3 Musketeers bar reached the trees, only to stumble into the darkness around Corellia and Celledor. Immediately, she felt the breath squeezed out of her by the weight of her own bitterness, and ran from it. Ruby glanced up at the knave and smiled. "Entertainments and tricks?" her smile faded slightly as the active death and chaos was starting to pull at her attention, and the drug from the punch was fading fast. She looked back at the mess, trying to figure out why she wasn't doing anything, and why she still felt cheery, like one of Arch's peace spells. "I don't think I'm in the mood for any tricks." She said, pouting slightly.

Eulalia Danae ArynChris Eulalia Danae Ruby laughed, " Nah, you didn't do anythin' wrong, sugar, I think I may have been the one to bother her. I have that effect on people some days." She chuckled again. "It gets even scarier when you're the mother yourself." She looked at the queens, and smiled. "Hey! Look, that one looks just like me. Oh, I like that dress on me." She waved her hand absently. "nah nah, you ain' borin', I can amuse myself with a pebble, I can amuse myself with a tall water-lady." The neon angel had, unfortunately, already drunk some of the punch before she got back to Ruby and Cordelie, and paid no attention to the Queens. A silly smile plastered on her face, she returned to the two carrying three cups of punch for them all. "Hey! I got the punch." ...And she passed a cup each to the other two.Ruby gratefully accepted the cup of punch. "Thank you!" She smiled. The different monsters passed by Ruby as if she wasn't even there. Or if they were banned from touching her for some reason. Aforesaid monsters did not, however, show the same courtesy to Cordelie. Before she could take the punch or even comment that the Queen of whatever suit it was did indeed look very much like her before the dome burst into flame. "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" The tall woman screeched, shielding her masked face from the horrendous wind. "What is going on?! I need to go home! I need to look after the children!" Cordelie looked at the other two in wild-eyed panic, trembling. Apparently, neither were particularly phased. Shaking, the hydrokinetic looked from one woman to the other. "What's happening here?" (Sorry, this just goes so fast! I'll try harder to keep up)

The punch was wearing off, and the panic in the woman next to her was sending her into a panic too. She stood up, looking around. "I think people are dying. I gotta heal them!"

Ruby St.Claire The very dirt beneath Corellia's feet began to liquify, pulling her, and Celledor, and all those around her, into it's belly. No eyesight was needed for that, and earth was always accustomed to darkness. The shield moved into the queen of spades. But she was not pushed to side, she was firm as stone, standing hard and still. As the shield hit her, a slight scent of burning dirt filled the air, but that was it. The shield gave her no more harm. She reached out to wrap her hand around Acelr's throat. (Silver daggers.....*coughcough*...>.> <.< >.>)) ((I know, I know, you want them to die... rolleyes ))
Acelr began to laugh through Death's squeeze, eyes reflecting an insanity much like Delirium's. "Never taste me, sweetheart," she hissed. She swung her other arm unnaturally bent to slice off the arm that held her, the shield disappearing so that her own head was in danger of getting chopped off.Corellia vibrated harder and rolled out of the ground and on top of the figure she had kicked at ((did the third figure get cut like the first, or what?)).

Eulalia Danae Sahira was a bloody mess, from both thorns and ruined body. There was little that could be done for her, and it was clear she was not likely to survive much longer despite any help given. Aaron just grumbled. Cloud shook his head and covered Aaron's eyes with his half-cloak as he stood. Silent and solumn, he saluted her with the blade in his other hand.
And then he showed her mercy by it.

The shield, once again, stopped at Death's arm, not slicing through, as if a sheild of power surrounded her, blocking the energy from her skin. ((nah, just trying to emphasize that the dagger is literally the only way to hurt them)) ((Yeah yeah, it did, I just forgot to add that in.)) The ground started folding up and over on Corellia, like a dirt wave. The third figure snuffing out as the greater mass began to fall.

Helping people was good, it was something she could focus on, rather than have her mind swept up in the chaos and terror around her. "I'll... I'll try to watch your back." She volunteered, thanking every single god she could think of that her shoes were flat soled, and so enabled her to move that much faster and not fall over. Hearing the angel's voice, Cordelie turned back with a helpless look. "I don't know. Lord, maybe this was some elaborate trap and we all got sucked in." The tall woman tried to block out the rising panic that bubled away in her mind, holding on to that one thought that might just keep the terrified woman sane. "Right... Who needs our help?"

She shoved them all at Death's midsection, one of them slicing at just the right angle to cut Death's belt off.

And then he showed her mercy by it.( rofl I was thinking of having Ruby come over and heal her, but meh...have to love the irony.) Sahira's mouth opened with one last gasp as the blade slid home. The breath flowed out like a warm spring breeze fading into the air. As she died Sahira felt a soft pang in her heart that it wasn't under the blanket of Ahmenti sands. She pictured the golden warmth one last time, before fading into the cold darkness of death.

Maybe even the fire surrounding the dome. Get rid of one of the barriers that way." Ruby moved to the survivors, healing what she could with her gifts. She glanced at the blue angel "Start movin' sugar, whether it's to help people or fight nasty things off!"

We fight back or get killed in the end anyway." She continued to push forward to heal the surrounding injured.

"An old custom, people don't do it anymore," he whispered over her, "but your should sleep with your head on, the Baroness always says. She's a wise woman, when she's not Acelr, you know..."
As he kotted in and stood up, the ribbon and Sahira's body both faded out, just like the Baroness's mask and skirts had.
