Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the party steadily turned from festive to homicidal, Ayx decided to take more extreme measures to find Ora, a small sphere of solid flame growing in his hand, which formed into a polearm formed of the same substance. Ayx advanced through the crowd, shoving anyone who was in his way out of it, hunting for Ora in the madness.

Xeen turned to his wife.
"Now is an excellent time to leave, my love. We shall return momentarily with assistance."

"Hey, it's a Masquerade..." Bobby said to Erica, as he looked around for the four Queens, "I was just staying 'in character'."

Ora was at the far side of the dome, and noticed Ayx and his temper tantrum. She stould up and looked at him, her disguise as a blond dropping entirely. "Ayx! Be useful, not destructive, we've already got too much destruction going on here!"

Erica looked at Xeen. "Love, running off to find reinforcements sounds lovely, but....we can't leave the dome, we've tried. They got things blocked, for teleportation powers as well." She turned her head back to Bobby, "It looks like it stopped being a masquerade quite some time ago."

(sorry BD, I totally forgot to write in the attack on the QoH thanks for restating it.)

The queen of hearts burst into flame as Blitz reached her, dispersing in the air, and reforming behind him. "You know, fire is just the b*****d child of lightning, we could be related."

The queen of diamonds chuckled, "many will die if we don't do what we do, only they aren't from your world, so it seems you would not care. We must fight for our own, no?" The crowbar held back the dagger for a moment, successfuly blocking the attack. But the queen moved her wrist and went for another move, towards Verve's gut. Once again her movements were easily predictable, particularly with Verve's powered-sight.

Famine(the queen of clubs) moved away from Miran leaving him surrounded by three invisible wind creatures which sliced at his body. She turned her attention to the crowd again, the wind rising, and for a choice few, the very breath being pulled out of their lungs. She decided to focus mostly on the fliers, stealing their wind from beneath their wings(totally have that song stuck in my head now....damnitall!).

The queen of spades, looked up as Ora's illusion fell. She smiled, she knew the girl wasn't dead the moment her wound healed, but she didn't know where her counterpart was hiding. "Traitor," she muttered under her breath. A stone hand came up from the ground and surrounded Ora, not to kill her, but to contain her.

Ora glanced down at Ayx, herself being caught up in a giant stone hand just cast by Death. "Are you accusing me of being in charge of this madness? For crying out loud, Ayx, I'm trying to stop this thing. Now if you don't mind, could you please give me a hand with this....hand."

Erica shook her head. "The best way to fight our way out of this is to fight the people in charge of it, don't be a wuss, love. We have to steal the queen's daggers and use them on them. At least that's what Ora has explained to me."

(Lol! it's so true, now that I think about it they really do.)
The queen raised an eyebrow as he rushed past her, she was totally confused, but assumed he was trying to avoid getting burned.

"It's a shade of yours, but you would find the name of it incomprehensible, a muttering of rumbles and hisses." The queen of diamonds, pulled her hand away from the crowbar, unaware that he was trying to damage her wrist. A glob of water began forming into her other hand, and lunged itself at Verve, going for his face.

Celledor grabbed ahold of the bushes of the hedge maze, using them for added support as he grabbed for Corellia's arm in an attempt to aid her in freeing herself.

"We need to get everyone out of here!"
