Any response Bismuthite might have given was cut short by Queen Beryl's sudden appearance and subsequent meltdown. New thing he knew he was dodging exploding ornaments and being thrown by the shockwaves of a blast, and deafened.
His head, which had already been pounding, hurt even more, and he held a hand to his temple as he got back to his feet.
"Ugh, I didn't take enough medicine for this s**t.." he groaned, but none the less joined the fight against the youma tree.

"Oh, I like you." Titanite told Sassolite, grinning. "It is indeed a party. Who will mind a little revelry?" But Titanite, of course, never made a fool out of herself. She made a fool out of the alcohol. Distinct difference. Someone else, [ Hematite] at least as drunk as she wanted to be, wandered their way and the Lieutenant realized that presents were being passed out. Hmmm, a cutie and a cutie, and she had to give a present to a stranger. "Are you sure they can? Because I don't know who my person is. But I'd sure like to get to know who you are." She held out her hand to the drunk guy. "I'm Titanite." Sadly, however, it seemed that her drunk coworker had more on his mind than- What was... oh dear. Suddenly, it seemed Christmas was not going to be so jolly. Luckily, Titanite's self-confidence was over 9000, so she dodged the first volley of... ornaments?!... and hid behind Sassolite.

Sassolite was having one of those moments, it took her a while to notice Hematite but she did after all the hand on her shoulder made it quite obvious he was there along with his sly comment. "Wouldn't you like to know..." Oh wait... the tree was moving. She looked at the tree and picked up another drink and then downed it. She was slightly amused at the fact Titanite ducked behind her only to have a bomb land too close for comfort and the noise it made! "Well ********." She summoned her bow and arrow but lets face it after downing 3 drinks and feeling like she desperately needed another one, this wasn't going to go too well. She tried to line up her HUGE bow, which was heavier once alcohol was taking affect and then lining up not one but THREE arrows... well it was just going downhill from there. However they managed to get in the bow and kind of hit their target. It wasn't a complete failure at least!

Ilmenite had his box for Tanz in hand -- that same wriggling box, held together with packing tape, with six rough holes punched in the top for air -- when Osumlite drew him to a halt to offer his present. His reaction was strange: a blink, like he'd completely forgotten that he was going to be getting something as well, had been too wrapped up in the difficulties of what to get a General-Queen who has everything she needs.
He recovered quickly, tucking his box delicately under one arm to peel back the packaging and both of his eyebrows raised. Realistically, he didn't recognize them as anything but cigars, but a little bit of two by two and he'd figure out what that meant.
His attention lifted back to Osumilite, mouth opened to thank him properly, when the bomb went off. It caught him unawares and Ilmenite was thrown back flat, gasping and struggling not to land on either of the gifts, scrambling to get the little box on top of him when they landed, to save whatever was inside. As he came to a halt, blinking, ears ringing, Tanzanite's gift mewled piteously.

Sigh.
Sigh.
SIIIIIIIIIGH.
Of course Beryl was going to come in and throw some stupid bitchfit. Of. Course. Uranophane grumbled something unintelligible into her latest glass of wine as the spectacle continued. It was like she was suddenly caught in one of those episodes of that bratty sweet-sixteen birthday party reality show, and their ever-gracious ruler had just found out she was getting an Acura instead of a Ferrari. The tree being charged up with dark energy, and mutating into some sickeningly festive monster, was cause for the General to languidly roll her eyes.
More like Drama-Queen Beryl. Hadn't she considered that no one had invited her because she was a selfish, totalitarian b***h? Uranophane emptied her wine glass and set it clumsily down on a nearby table, making to scuttle backwards a few steps as it unleashed its attack. One of the ornaments hit the ground fairly close, though, unleashing a shrill shock wave that wiped away her hearing as cleanly as her ******** had been over the course of the evening.
She stayed defiantly back on the edge of the fray, one hand clutching her skull as she sneered at the tree wreaking its havoc. There was no way she was going to participate in this. Not if she could help it.

Painite managed to get the hell out of the way of the attack, which was likely a complete and magical accident considering the drunken wobble in her step. It served her well, in this case, but she was sobering up rather quickly out of necessity.
After all, everyone else seemed to see the tree and the whole good-spirt-less temper tantrum that sparked it now throwing ornaments at them.
Summoning her weapon, Painite threw her spear at the tree with what aim she could muster. The best she could hope for was not hitting any of her fellow negaverse agents at this point, though, still reeling from the fun induced haze she had settled herself in.

Osumilite hadn't met nor seen the Queen before, but her appearance met his expectations for a Queen of the Negaverse. He couldn't help but check out her a** as she marched on past him, but was immediately turned off by her repulsive hissy fit she through over not getting a present. Even less arousing was the Christmas tree turning to life and killing everyone. There were several reasons Tag had an aversion to the holidays, and this just made the list.
An ornament slammed to the ground mere feet away from him as he leapt away as quickly as he could - but not quickly enough. He was tossed through the air several feet, landing on his back as he skidded into the food table. If it weren't for the sweater, his suit would have been an absolute wreck, so he supposed he would have to write Apatite a thank you letter for the sweater after all.
Frustrated, he summoned his microphone and lunged it at the Christmas tree youma before reeling the microphone back in by its cord.

Considering the gaze and tone in quick the General-Queen was telling them to put on the sweater and the fact several others were doing just that, he guessed setting a good example during the holidays should be in his realm of reason. He looked at it, sighed, and tried to figure out how he was going to get this sweater over his clothes and hopefully not be TOO warm after. He could take off his jacket then, and he started to work on the sash and bow when he felt the presence of the Queen herself arrive.
The party was no longer that when your boss came around, and he clutched his sweater, wonder if they were all going to get reprimanded just for attending. As it was, the Queen was more upset over not being given a present, and then outright insulted the one she was given. Sure......it wasn't fashion forward in any sense, but it was the thought behind it, and beggars, even a Queen, couldn't be choosy. It really killed the Christmas spirit, but what really drove the mood killer home was the Queen changing the tree into a youma and leaving.
"So much for gratitude." He huffed, feeling safe to utter such a thing with the Queen gone though even that made him nervous. Ever since the Traitor's Chamber, he was watching his words and actions - but this deserved a comment.
As the tree shook to life, it started to throw it's ornaments at them which had more firepower than Zink's bombs. Not even sure what was happening, he was thrown back by an explosion and nearly fell on the table. As it was, he rattled the glasses a bit, and started to hear a whine in his ears. Looking at the youma at the serving table, he looked back at the tree. "Can't you guys just invite it over and calm it down?" He asked the youma, but they didn't seem very enthused at the idea. Then again, similar youma tried to serve him acid once. Not the type of creature to ask to save you from bodily harm.

Hematite glanced backward at the brightly-colored lieutenant behind him, giving him a bit of a blank look that brightened considerably at the sight of the present. He tucked it away in a pocket, not really trusting himself to have the dexterity to open it now. "Oh, hey. Thanks, man."
"Oh, is that how she knew my youma was a ******** teddy bear in a sweater," he responded in kind to Chromite. Not that he actually had one of his own. Youma of all kinds had always been at the command of any Negaverser. Getting a 'personal youma' was a far more recent thing, and not one he wanted to try.
"Hematite." He shook Titanite's hand pretty warmly, in that he was totally uncoordinated at this point. It was a good thing they were both drunk. To Sassolite, he merely gave a grin. He couldn't really answer anyway. Alkaid was probably around here somewhere --
Beryl's appearance and subsequent outburst elicited a pretty low-key response from him. Silence, and a look of... worry? Pain? But something held him back from crossing the queen even then, a respect or fear he clearly didn't have for many others. Hematite continued to stand there in some kind of delayed-response surprise, shielded from the bright lights by Zircon's sunglasses, as ornaments rained down around them. With the luck of the truly careless, every movement had him just out of range of the shrieking missiles. The background noise of the party had gone from music and laughter to shouting and breaking glass. It occurred to him he really ought to be doing something right then, besides weave his way around the room. Attack? Hm. Yeah. That sounded about right.
His weapon materialized in hand gracefully enough, a watch on a long chain, but one glance down at it reminded him of just how useless it was. He stopped there and swayed a little on his feet, even as the bombs kept raining down. He was supposed to attack a youma... with this? Man. Being a lieutenant sucked. "Aw, ********."

Zircon's first instinct when Beryl appeared in the Rift was to take a knee, as was done when Charonite commanded the army of the Dark Kingdom. But now, she could only look on with curiosity and a vague sense of dread as she approached the cheery General-Queen. After all, if it came to a fight, who were they supposed to protect? This wasn't part of her training. Anxiously, she glanced back to Zinkenite for instruction, and readied her concentration in case she needed to summon her ever-useful weapons.
But, of course, it wouldn't be a Negaverse party without something big and scary to fight. There had never been anything quite right about that tree, and as it filled the room, Zircon took a step back, ready for trouble.
Right up until the ornaments started flying.
She did her best to roll out of the way, but in all the chaos, there was no telling how she was going to land...

For the majority of the party, Domeykite had been minding his own business - by the food table. Not only did he not really know anyone among the ranks yet, but he also wasn't a social person at all. He was perfectly content to stuff his face with sugary greatness, chase it down with punch, and watch as everyone else made a complete a** of themselves. Like that one guy with the dreads.
When Beryl entered the room her hissy fit certainly grabbed his attention, but he could only raise his brows around a mouthful of Christmas treats. He had certainly heard of the woman, but never seen her with own eyes, and he was having a hard time putting two and two together.
Of course, none of that matters when the tree he was standing unnaturally close to began to roar to life.
The plate in Domey's hands dropped to the floor instantly and with a resounding chorus of '********', he jumped onto the food table and used it as a runway to bypass the milling crowds. As he jumped down on the other side it was just in time to watch the ornaments crashing down on what little food he hadn't just stamped to death with his boots.
Damn it, he had been enjoying that.
With an irate glance towards the tree, he positioned himself at the back of the room, well behind all the other attendants. Meat shields were the best shields! Unsure of what he could really do, he summoned his weapon and tossed it with as much force as he could over the heads of the other soldiers. He never even saw if it landed, much too busy suddenly wondering how he'd get it back.

The Christmas tree youma has been damaged for a total of 499 hit points this round, but it hasn't been defeated yet. In retaliation, all of its lights overcharge in anger and blow out - causing a massive bright flash!
For the second round, roll two 100-sided dice!
If the first number ends in...
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 - You have been blinded by the flash for the round!
2, 4, 6, 8, 0 - You managed to look away from the flash, and your eye sight remains in tact!
If your first number begins in...
3, 6, 9 - You have been captured by the Christmas spirit! Your damage is doubled!
Your second number determines your base damage to the tree!
Howlite, Graphite, Benitoite, Chromite, Esperite, Bismuthite, Titanite, Sassolite, Illmenite, Uranophane, Painite, Osumilite, Wolframite, Hematite, Zircon, and Domeykite can now all hear!
Zinkenite, Fukalite, and Alkaid remain deaf for one more round!

As his hearing returned the blond captain finally summoned his own weapon.The large paint brush settled into his hands before being shifted into position, like it was a spear. In the a similar manner to Painite he threw his brush, point aimed for the tree.
it was as the brush was just leaving his hand that a blinding light went off, the tree's lights had exploded, and left him blinking as he tried to clear his vision and see again. This wasn't good, just as he regained his hearing his vision went. This tree was hardly making him feel warm and fuzzy like christmas trees normally did, it was making him want to just burn it into a smouldering pile of pine scented ash to be honest. But as he couldn't do that he could only hope his weapon had struck the piney enemy, since he couldn't see!
Stumbling back, wanting to put distance between himself and the tree, his boots clicked on the ground as he backed himself up slowly, tripping over something he fell right onto his backside with a yelp and a thump. This really wasn't turning out to be as good as it had seemed in the beginning, would this be what happened for every holiday or celebration? Chaos and a distinct lack of peace?
