Thankful that the unbearable ringing had finally ceased, Esperite stood up and removed himself from leaning on the table any longer. Standing straight up, he looked to see if the others had regained their sense of hearing as well. Satisfied when he saw that the others were retaliating just as he had, he readied himself to fight back. Esperite was felt the battle was far from over and quickly grabbed a stack of plates to toss at the tree. He still wasn't sure if he could get close enough to use his daggers, but that didn't keep him from fighting back. He could feel the effects of the alcohol wearing off and he was ready to get back in the game. As his anger continued to grow, he moved in and threw the plates at the Christmas tree youma's trunk. Although Esperite wasn't close enough to try out his daggers, he was still close enough to toss the plates at their intended target without worrying about missing.
Unfortunately, his attack came at a cost as the lights blew out in his face. In the span of a few minutes, he had temporarily been deafened and now he was temporarily blinded as the white burst of light forced him to stumble away and reach out for any kind of support. Stumbling away, he finally made contact with one of the stone walls and awkwardly slumped down against it to regain his composure. Embarrassed that he blindly stumbled about, Esperite sunk down and waited for his eyes to stop burning. Using the thick sleeve of his sweater, he used the thick, itchy material to shield his eyes while they recovered. Now the crimson-eyed lieutenant was certain that he was going to burn that infernal tree down.

He looked away in the nick of time, throwing up a hand to shield his face, a matter of luck as much as anything else because he still couldn’t hear anything, but by god he could still chuck something at that god damned tree.
He grabbed one of the heavier abandoned glasses from the table and launched it the way of the crystal he had thrown with an half muted snarl of frustration that the queen’s snit fit had reduced them to fighting tree monsters in the Rift. Her rift was it? Oh yes, that one was getting stored for ‘later conversations’.
He glanced at Howlite and waved a hand towards the star before offering her a hand, perhaps working together they could target the star beyond throwing things at it.

She'd have to talk to Hematite more later. He seemed like the nice, warm, drunk sort that would make for good conversation and fun times if nothing else. But right- attacking tree. Why did it seem that the Holidays always had at least one Grinch? Regardless of what other people might say, Titanite hadn't had enough to drink for this bullshit yet. Behind Sassolite, she shook her head, grateful that the ringing had stopped. "I think now's a good time to see how you feel about... oh... the Friday before New Year's Eve?" Timing really was everything. She might not have any fancy weapons, but she wasn't afraid of no pine tree! She picked up a plastic glass of wine and threw it at the tree. Unfortunately, she was blinded by the flash of light- but she was fairly certain the glass didn't hit Sassy, even if the wine might have.

Fukalite nearly swore when she realized that she still couldn’t hear properly. She turned toward the nearest officer. “Why am I still goddamn dea—“ She stopped and shrieked when the lights on the Christmas tree youma began to shine brightly. The lieutenant squeezed her eyes shut, but even when she gradually opened them she was dismayed to find that she still couldn’t see right. Oh great, first she was deaf and now she was blind? What, was the tree attempting to turn her into the next Helen Keller? That clearly wouldn’t work. Fukalite didn’t know sign language and she sure did not intend to learn it.
A growl rumbled deep in her throat as she continued to kick at the tree. Curse this Christmas party. Why had she even bothered to come? Oh right. It was mandatory. Obligations sucked.

Once the ringing subsided from Zircon's ears, she got back to her feet, looking to reorient herself in the fight. Paper weapons would be of no use to her here, but she still had her egg nog glass tucked tightly in hand.
Thank the sweet baby Jesus for eggnog, she had an idea.
An idea, that, unfortunately, was getting dampened as the tree flashed its brights upon the crowd, stunning General and Lieutenant alike. Zircon whipped an arm up, blocking most of the light's harmful rays, and then climbed on one of the food tables to get a cleaner shot.
Stupid flash bombs. If only Hematite hadn't run off with her shades.
Watching for any agent that might come tumbling into her range, she lined up her shot and chucked the glass as hard as she could, hoping that maybe this youma tree could actually bleed.

Sassolite was probably a little dangerous with a large bow and three arrows and being drunk and whatnot but hey success she could hear again! In fact she could hear again in time to have a plastic cup going flying past her and the wine covering her poor christmas jumper! Typical! She let another three arrows go in the direction of the tree but was annoyed by the mass of wine now covering her that it meant she paid little attention to where the arrows went. "What did you do that for?" Sass looked at Titanite just as the flash went off, luckily staring at Titanite had saved her eyesight unlike the lieutenant who now seemed to not be able to see? Sass waved a hand in front of her eyes before taking her by the shoulders and shaking her a little. "That's for pouring wine over me! Now see damn it..." If only there was a way for sudden healing from blindness!

(( holy s**t he is unblinded and doing 94x2 damage LOL if anyone is wondering wtf is going on in this post BLAME MY DICE ))
Zircon's gigantic aviators saved his eyes from the blinding flash, allowing him to keep moving as if nothing had happened (he made a half-mental note to borrow these more often). This crappy weapon s**t would have to wait, though. s**t was happening. ********. Hematite and Graphite had ended up alongside a now-abandoned drinks table just behind the fighting crowd . Most of the glasses now littered the floor in pieces, but the massive punch-bowl of wine was miraculously undisturbed. The table itself was in pretty good condition too, unlike the ones that had neat holes in the shape of ornament bombs.
Hematite looked from the punchbowl, to the table, to the youma, to Graphite.
"Take off your ******** suspenders," he demanded, "I need them."
It wasn't long before the two of them were looking at an extremely makeshift giant slingshot - a couple suspenders looped around a half-overturned table, with a box of something or other propped on top of the legs. There was no way something this crappy was going to do any good, but Hematite at least was nowhere near sober enough to consider that. All he knew was that with the weapon he did have, he was probably going to get himself killed just getting close enough to the stupid animal to attack it. Lieutenants had to improvise.
"READY--"
They held the punchbowl loosely in place and pulled back hard on the suspender-loop.
"AIM--"
They pulled downward and even farther back to aim it over the top of the table, splashing wine as they moved to line it up with what was fortunately a large target.
"FIRE!!"
Twang.
For a few brief moments, the punchbowl sailed through the air like half of a purple cannonball. It smashed squarely against the side of the tree youma, drenching it in wine and shards of broken glass..
Hematite celebrated by giving Graphite a friendly punch in the shoulder and knocking back an unattended glass of wine.
(( Anyone can use this piece of crap slingshot now so just feel free ROFL ))

((Posting this here instead of with my roll to make more sense chronologically with the sling-shot creation.))
As soon as the incessant whining in her ears dissipated it was as if the entire room had gone from mute to MEGA LOUD. Chromite covered her ears until they adjusted to being able to work again and from her spot closer to the back of the fight watched what everyone else was doing, hoping for some semblance of possible organization. She didn't expect it to happen since the battle had really only just begun, but a girl could always hope. At least the tree was starting to look somewhat ragged in the short amount of time since it's violent creation.
A fact the tree seemed to notice as well? It's lights started to glow with a brighter intensity and as they reached their brightest point Chromite's instincts kicked in and in one swift movement the lieutenant covered her eyes and turned around at the same frantic moment.
Spotting Hematite and another Lieutenant [Graphite] with him creating some kind of sling-shot of doom and desperation her options were clear- She could help them take the tree down Angry Birds style or she could fight it head on and lose. She sprinted over to the two of them, crouched down as the large punch bowl flew over her head at the tree, and grinned. "I am so down for this rather than getting mauled by that thing."
Not waiting for an answer she snagged one of the heavier presents propping up the table of the make-shift slingshot and replaced it with her foot. Using all of her weight to hold the table down and balance herself as she pulled the gift back as far as she could Chromite grunted instead of opting for dramatics and simply let the gift fly.
Mere seconds after the dark glass of the punch bowl shattered against youma branches remnants of someone's Secret Santa gift and shredded wrapping paper successfully joined it.
"Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas." Without another thought she found herself her own glass of wine. Then another.

Gabe had just stumbled after Hematite-- the ******** was easy to spot, just a black spot of all those dreads on top of more dreads. <********," he muttered, rubbing his forehead, stumbling along after his fellow Lt. So, at first, he had just stared slack jaw at his fellow partner in crime.
"I," the redhead started, blinking stupidly. "Yeah, okay." He wasn't one to turn down a sexy man's request, especially since they were both sauced. He fumbled with his vest, yanking it off to reveal the suspenders underneath. His clumsy hands finally managed to get them off, and he tossed them to Hematite without a question asked. Graphite trusted the guy, even if it was very unlikely that he was going to get lucky, given the circumstances.
Either way, he collapsed behind the table, laughing his a** off as energy bombs were being flung this way and that. "You're insane!" Graphite giggled, scooping up some of the wine with a stray cup, swirling it around. They were probably going to get maimed, the tree looked pretty unhappy with its place in life, and it also seemed pretty keen on sharing that unhappiness.
He blinked as a gal [Chromite] joined them, waving a gloved hand at her. "Hallo!" Even as Gabe helped aim the stupid slingshot, he kept the glass of wine clutched in his left hand, fist pumping with it in his hand-- unfortunately, the brunt of his own attack ended up squarely on his face. Like a suave gentleman, the wine had ended up in his eyes, making him howl with some pain.
It was a good thing Hematite was the brains of the operation; it was clear that Graphite was not really that useful, considering how he was scrubbing his eyes, cursing up a storm.

Alkaid was beginning to realize that she was not going to be of much use in the fight at all. She still couldn't hear anything but the sharp ringing in her head, there were too many people to successfully launch her attack and she had wasted too much energy to dare running back into the heart of the battle.
But she wasn't ready to give up just yet.
She glanced around her with a frown, then stooped down to pick up a plate forgotten by a party goer suddenly called to action. She stood and inspected it for a moment and then, with a small shrug, turned and readied to release it discus style at the tree - until the lights burst.
She released at the same moment that the flash crippled her sight, causing her to stumble and the projectile to fly a bit off course. It clipped the tree, though Alkaid never even saw. Her hands immediately went to her eyes as she slumped into the wall, now deaf and blind. If she were still human enough, she would have been panicked, or at least showed it more if she still was.
She just stood there, half slumped and rubbing her eyes, as if it might convince the starry darkness to dissipate.
