The Conga Line of Peace

A horribly made D&D campaign featuring a dragon lady, a half-demon, a mer-something, a cyclops, and more as they try to kill a god or something that has a weird organization called "TRASH." Written by Foh

[congalineofpeace]

How is Torrath like?

I would have to say so far, I think she’s really nice! At first I thought she was pretty hotttttt, but then she had a look in her eye... Y’know, the... the look. Not the “I wanna be your girlfriend” look but more of a “Do you want to be tucked into bed and be read a bedtime story” look to her. 

Basically, I think she’s a pretty sweet dragon mom!

[congalineofpeace]

(During Our Fight, Oha said this)

Oha: You know that you guys will also have to fight whatever this thing makes, right? Each and every one of you.It's not like it'll kill you-

The ooze stares at everyone and slowly tries to move towards the students.

Oha: ...Well, that's not good.

[congalineofpeace]

So we went to do arena stuff...

So initiation is like this: you fight monsters and don’t actually kill people in the arena. This place used to be a no trespassing zone, but Pal-Oice opened it back up for us and boy does it smell bad.  L(° O °L)

We just went downstairs and there’s more ugly green goo, weird big rocks I just wanna punch, and then there’s just our enemy summoner that the other’s haven’t seen. 

First thing was first- Oha said “Well, welcome everyone to our eleventh arena!”

And like, Khai was like "What happened to 1 through 10.”

Well...

Arena 1 got burned down by Flor - like. Everything. She was just going to do a spell she learned from this ancient scroll and BLAM - like that it was gone!

The 2nd and 3rd Arenas was okay for awhile, just broke down due to old age and Dacodix punching the enemy summoner and accidentally created an anomaly in them. We don’t go there anymore.

4th one, I just think Oliver turned it into an engineering place. But then, the 5th one was EATEN. I’m not kidding! Fheifhei got this weird bug and just nommed on EVERYTHING- and now there’s still a hole in the ground. It’s a pretty cool lava Jacuzzi though. 

Not sure what happened with the rest with the exception of us continuously ruining the enemy summoner. Always we’d mess up the summoning symbol somehow - either by messing up paint stuff or just erasing it and stuff and those stuffs are costly to make according to Bob. 

Ahhh, anyway. Because of this we had to put the symbol in a skull that spawned enemies. Once everyone was ready, Oha summoned the monster: a massive ooze-water demon thingy. It just glared at us. 

At first it didn’t do anything, just ... looked at us, but then it started moving. Khai strikes it first - hitting the monster with a bow and arrow! It legit just wailed in pain and spat at Khai - that thing was a savage.

And then,  as Khai continues fighting it, he wins, though he got hurt along the way! 

Or... So we thought. You see, inside the ooze was a necromancer that was in there, and EMERGED FROM IT. Oha started freaking out, calling it a TRASH summon. I couldn’t believe it- but ... we all had to fight. I mean, the dude legit said “Death to Tawn!” 

Then outta nowhere a cat shows up - she’s Faith. Was pretty so it was time to become a hero-

Anosa quickly begins to use a spell on the dudu - something with a ray and ice - oh. Ray of frost, there we go. Khai then used his bow again, but it just pissed off the person more than it wounded him. Torrath saw this, and used the chance to swipe at ‘em with her claws! Tsyrei tried to do something, but she had no arms. So she began to sing a song of healing to Khai. 

The necromancer was not having it, and lashed out at Torrath with a blade - to which Dacodix began to throw her iconic 3-hit combo with her fists! They just... kinda stared and smiled weirdly to her. I’d be freaked out if I were her. 

Maywhitter casts a barrier, and then I... well... I spat the thing. 

Truly, my spit freaked that thing out which is why Anosa was able to freeze the necromancer with a spell like a boss! Dacodix was like “They ruined such a fun arena.” but man, we never did something like this. It was lame slimes and skeletons or spiders - never a necromancer from people who believe they’re gods and is all evil and stuff. Woah. 

Torrath did her swiping claw move, and Tsyrei tripped. Dacodix continued punching, Maywhitter hid behind Khai, and then ME, THE BEST PERSON EVER, 

I ACCIDENTALLY MADE A FIREBALL WITH MY SPITTTTT!!!!

On that day, I was known as *that guy*, *that guy who spits fiya powaaaa*, you don’t understand how amazing it was. It just felt like I burped and - nope! It was fire!

Anosa does a spell to disrupt the undead, and Khai takes out a ...uhh... A gun. Yep. That was a gun. He legit just shoots it and blam - the necromancer falls on the bridge, plops herself on the blade, and whooooooooshhhh into the water she goes. 

Oha was so proud, Anosa got a blade, there was a buuuuunch of loot from this - but... Then there was something odd. It was an image that looked like some old dude, but... The more I looked at it, I realized it was back when V’lduvast was a dilf and not some old angel living in a pub. He wrote “forgive me” on the bottom - or at least, I think it was his handwriting? 

When Oha looked at the note, he thought for a second V’lduvast got turned into the evil necro, but thankfully because there wasn’t a scar on his left calf, it wasn’t our guy.

Everyone began talking about grown up stuff, and when everyone was gonna go upstairs I was held back by Oha. After everyone left, he just asked me this:

“Do you really not remember any of this? Especially of our founder?”

I nodded my head and replied as best as I could: I genuinely don’t remember a thing. He tried to explain stuff after, but... I was just so excited that I could spit fire that I kinda denied anything he was saying. 

Anyway... I should go talk to Oha again. The others left to find DOe3t, the cutest giant robot you would ever see! Foh out~

[congalineofpeace]

Sneaking into the library

Well, these guys sure know how to trigger people, because Maywhitter retreated in the library awhile ago. Khai was gonna go check up on her until -

Oha: No-No-no!

Khai: Huh? Get out of my way.

Oha: No.

Anosa: Is something wrong?

Torrath: Why can't we leave?

Oha hung his head angrily but still talked all calm and stuff.

Oha: You guys can leave. Just, you can't go in the library. Very valuable things.

Torrath: ....Sure.

Tsyrei: Is there food?

Oha: Nope. Only here.

Then, in the quiet, emerges a hero - Khai.

Khai: Oh relax, I'm not gonna touch your dildos.

CAN YOU HEAR IT? THE GODS HAVE SPOKEN. SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT. MY MAN! Boy, if only Ivris heard that - she would of been CRYING.

Anosa: What valuable things? Jewels, gold, what?

Oha: Knowledge.

Torrath: I want some of that.

Oha knocked on that door and muttered some thingys through it. I couldn't really hear 'im.

Oha: no.

Anosa: But what if we want to read?

Torrath: (sighing sourly and crossing her arms) Well, we're in prison.

Anosa: Basically.

Your boy Foh here had to do something. This was unjust to the new people, and that was my time to shine. Proudly, I knocked on one of the walls to try to get their attention.

Torrath: If this was a school, we could learn.

Oha: No, you're just not... Allowed to go there yet.

Anosa: Yet?

Oha: You need to do some initiation beforehand.

Torrath: Why?

Khai: We just want to say hi to our new friend.

Oha: THE ARENA! .... New friend?

Khai: Yeah, the sheep girl.

I knocked on those walls harder and began to pout. They weren't listening to me!

Oha: Sheep...Girl...? She's a satyr!

Khai: Ohhhhhh! Well her.

Torrath: Doesn't matter. We wanted to speak with her.

Oha: If you wanted to do that, let me get her.

And like that, he went inside the door and locked it behind him while Torrath stared at the door. I hopped out of the bushes, since there was a secret passage to the library, and spilled the beans.

Foh: You know, you could just come through the bushes. There's no wall in one of the places bros.

Torrath: Huh.

Tsyrei: Should we go?

Torrath: How foolish of him. Yes.

Anosa: Oh.

Eyyyyyyyy~

And so, we went through the bush into the secret passage! Tsyrei was looking at cooking books, and Torrath found... cooking books. Boy, we have A LOT of cooking books.

Oha: WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?

We got spotted.

Anosa: Are these all cooking books?

Oha: No.

Torrath hides in the room as Oha begins to fume.

Oha: Foh. You showed them the secret passage. Didn't you?

Foh: Yes sir.

Oha: And you said eyy after. Didn't you?

Foh: Yes sir.

And so, they got to talk to Maywhitter, Oha pleaded to do the initiation, and Dacodix became Maywhitter's protecc. Maywhitter is starting to break out of her shell, at least. She's... really happy. And that makes me happy!

Anyway, I gotta head to the stairs now. It's time for initiationnnnn, and as Oha said- THERE'S WEAPONS INVOLVED, AND FIGHTING!

[congalineofpeace]

Dude....Goblins taste like shit. All about them Imps.

Khai Ross, our dignified edgelord. I ship him with Dacodix already!

[congalineofpeace]

They're awaaaaakeeee~

Oha told us to take care of our new guests, so we let them in some of our student corridors and left them to rest. Dacodix gave them something that cleaned them, and let them rest.

And then, just when we thought they were going to sleep, they woke up and began to talk!

Khai: Ouchies....Uh.... Where the absolute fuck am I?

Anosa: Huh...this isn- where am I?

Torrath: Wasn't I in a cave?

Oha puffed his chest happily.

Oha: Well guess who is up? Haha, didn't take them long!

Foh: Totally bro! Lemme at 'em-

Oha pushes me aside and shakes his head.

Foh: What gives teach!?

Oha: Don't worry. Let me first introduce them and see if they're... "stable."

He made sure to look at Hrushvictar, who just nods as I'm here listening to their conversations. No fair! I wanted to talk to 'em first - especially since I found them.

He throws the door open wide and begins shouting as if class was starting again for the first time. It's been awhile since he smiled.

Oha: Wake up everyone!

The new people seem confused. Like, really confused.

Torrath: Good morning?

Anosa: Who said that?

Torrath: I did.

Obviously they musta lost something in their head - but those two are really pretty chicks. According to Dacodix Anosa's a mermaid girl too, which sounds sooo cool!

Khai: HEY!!! Look bro, I may have lost the cash but I....uh....wait - who are you?

Oha tries to pull them out of the rooms.

Oha: Welcome to Tawn's beloved school, Tawn School!

He's smiling from ear to ear - it's almost... Creepy... But kinda nice at the same time.

Anosa: Pardon me but, who are you?

Oha: Teacher Mr.Groah. You really don't remember what happened last night...?

Anosa: No I don't.

One strike.

Torrath: I don't remember anything.

Two strikes....

Khai Ross: Why any of us remember anything except what we did the night before. I so wasn't bashing someone's face in.

Three strikes! Dacodix is just sighing.

Torrath: Not since that party...

Khai: I swear I wasn't high.

It looks like Oha's joy began to vanish and he's becoming anxious, for some reason. Maybe this is what he meant by checking if they were "stable."

Torrath: Why are we in a school? I'm an adult.

Anosa: The last thing I remember is going to bed in my hut last night. Good question.

Oha: ....HSART got to you four.... Well... Where is the fourth one?

Torrath: Sleeping?

Khai: Probably asleep still. Or dead. Either or.

Anosa: Fourth One? I haven't seen them yet.

Torrath begins walking to the room the cyclop girl is in. According to Hrushvictar, she's what people call TRASH-Fuck Ups. However, she doesn't look creepy and goopy- just...

She's kind of a frankenstien monster. Hooves for legs, no arms, and dyed hair with one eye always lookin' around.

From where we were at the table, you could hear that cyclop snore so loud.

Torrath: Hello?

She prods the cyclops.

Torrath: Wake up.

It takes awhile, but she manages waking up the big chick.

Tsyrei: What...?

Torrath: Some guy wants us all...I guess to go to class?

Tsyrei: .....Okay....?

Torrath: I'm just as confused as you are.

Oha becomes getting impatient.

Oha: Wake up everyone!

Khai: You know, if you keep screaming I'm gonna go deaf.

Oha makes sure we're all together to begin speaking to the newcomers. Only me and Maywhitter are really excited, while the others are trying to poker face seeing these people alive, breathing, y'know...Living with a mark and stuff.

Oha: Well, now that you are all here, HSART was the one that got you four, as I said before. She's evil. Never trust a goddess.

Torrath: Never have.

Khai: I don't even think there is one quite honestly.

Tsyrei: I can't believe I'm not home...

Anosa: HSART? Never heard of them.

Torrath: What is "home"?

I began to sneer at these people. They're a card alright - but they're so cool!

Oha: HSART is something.... Someone... Basically the beginning of chaos. With the TRASH organization, they have been mutating and ruining millions.

He lies at this part.

Oha: I found you at the reject section in TRASH's trash. You're lucky Dacodix spotted you all before you became mind puppets.

Hrushvictar told Oha not to tell them the truth yet, because it would be more difficult to explain. Idunno, but I kept my mouth shut!

Torrath: "Mind puppets".....

Khai: Oh boy, sounds like a parts to me.

Anosa: Mind puppets? Why would we become mind puppets?

Tsyrei: That explains my lack of arms then...

Oha: HSART is known to make many obey her command. We're one of the few safe places.

And then Torrath gets to the point!

Torrath: So, are we your "recruits"?

Oha: Yes and no.

Torrath: Or soldiers?

Oha: You're rookies at the moment in a very high society school... Or, what was a high society school.

I'm the only teacher now, and there's so few of us. But we stand strong!

Maywhitter smiles at this and nods her head shyly. We still got that school pride! Annnnd then Khai has to be edgy.

Khai: Fuck high society.

Torrath: I like the cut of your jib, rebellious one.

Oha just gives him the death glare of doom.

Anosa: Was? Did it get attacked?

Oha: Yes...

Tsyrei: I'm hungry.

Like that, it begins a cycle.

Anosa: Same here.

Khai: Actually, now that cyclops girl mentions it, me too.

Torrath: I could eat.

Oha laughs merrily, but we know he's probably wanting to die inside.

Oha: Well, breakfast is on the table if you would like anything. It's orc meat and goblin stew. Enjoy!

And before he could be asked anymore questions, he dashes out of there. From a distance, you can hear his head hitting his desk echoing though a hall.

Boyo, is this gonna be a trip.

[congalineofpeace]

Welcome subjects. I know you may hate me now, and I know you will hate your new... modifications. But worry not. I'll always watch over you, as long as you remember to worship me.

HSART to the Conga Line Members

[congalineofpeace]

-THE CONGA LINE FOR PEACE-

There once was a life where humans and monsters could never get along, where monsters would always be slayed and tortured to human’s delights.

No peace,

No love,

Only war. 

War, never-changing and always ongoing. That was, until HSART came to the world along with the organization, “TRASH.”

Terror Ruling Animals Seeking Home. 

They held good intentions. They’ve ended human wars. They’ve created peace with monsters and were able to rise to power. However, their reason for being on Earth was simple: to find a home that would love and accept them after finding out their homes had been ruined. Equior turned abandoned and defamed TRASH, but on Earth they became almost heroes.

 However, they made a grave mistake as they continued to rise: they began to be called gods by many people. 

Gods? Them?

They were only simple deities, maybe some that were related to gods, but GODS themselves? HSART liked that, and played along with it until she realized the group could take over the world playing with their golden card. 

Now, TRASH is one of the most malevolent and unseen terror there ever has been in our world. They destroyed everything we loved. The members are enjoying their carefree lives, had conquered earth, changed lifestyles and people. They turned into gods to be worshiped, and a force to be reckoned with. 

To counter this, groups began to assemble. Some of freaks, some of voyagers. Others of simply recorders of time - and then... There was the Conga Line for Peace. Awaken, and arise. 

[congalineofpeace]

Weirdos By the School

Foh here with some CRAZY news. So today, Ivris and I decided to go walking through Tawn and talking to everyone. For some reason not many people are here anymore, and Ivris told me they’re probably fighting stuff in the forest again. Apparently, Oha told me that’s where the rest of the class went, and Ivris told me herself she was going in to steal Symphonia’s power.

She’s so weird and power hungry sometimes, but she’s pretty cool - besides the point though. Y’see, when she left me I was talking to Pal’oice who thought I was drunk or something and said I was talking to nobody, so I explained I was talking to Ivris. He was still looking at me funny with his two heads (he’s a snake person with two heads- pretty cool guy but sssssssuper sssserioussss) but dismissed me off, and then when I was coming back I saw a buncha weirdos at the back of the school!

There was a frankenstein-lookin’ cyclops with hooves and no arms, a mermaid chick who was really into blue, a dragon lady with a hot body - no literally. It was actually hot touching her - she burnt my hands when I was bringing her in. The others were some guy in a mask who looked like he came out of a screamo concert and the last person was a cat babe - like... Full on cat.

Oha and I brought ‘em inside, and we’re waiting for them to wake up. They all have a weird mark on them - seem to be muttering in their sleep too. Wonder if they’re talking to HSART.

If they are... I hope they tell HSART she can never take any of us alive! Haha! Anyway, I’ll talk to you guys later. Foh out!

[congalineofpeace]

TRASH Leftovers

When you become a TRASH Fuck-Up, you’re mutated to horrid degrees that I don’t want to say. The founder of Tawn made an agreement to mark us instead of taking us to become those fuck-ups. 

By doing so, we would assume HSART would leave us alone, however, she still decided we were more fun to play with- and so, our comrads died. There are many other tales of tragedies. 

However, there is few success stories - like turning into something other than a TRASH fuck-up and being discarded and thrown out because they’re considered “lost causes.” Usually that would be a horror show in a normal world, but here it’s a special scenario where these people were given a new chance at life by the hands of fate. 

I took only a few of them - the ones that were alive at least at a time, and brought them behind the school for Foh to find. According to the documents, their names were Tsyrei, Anosa, Faith, Khai, and... Torrath. They all look so weird from each other- and I think Tsyrei is the first successful mutant they made here, so I especially want her to live a life of success. 

I think that should be all of them... I’m tired. I’ve walked a long time. I’m going to rest now. 

[congalineofpeace]

The Guilt and Blame.

It’s raining again today. It’s been the fifth time it’s been raining like this, with no stop to it. 

Dacodix is practicing in the rain, getting drenched as ever, and Maywhitter is simply enjoying the quiet we have in our lives. Foh is in class, with the other “students,” but none of us can actually tell him that no one is there. He’s so happy in his ignorance, something we can’t do. 

I used to just look on, observing everything that was to happen. I was going to stay like that as well for awhile until the Xions suggested I check on a quaint place named “Tawn.” It was untouched and full of oddities, and we wanted to figure out why they were safe from HSART’s reign. 

Oha told me to simply pretend I was a student being admitted in. No one would question the cover story that way, and I could conduct my research in peace. However, I never could understand how my concentration broke by a shark girl and a foolish boy. Fheifhei and Foh forced me to become more social, and though I tried continuing my research in silence, they got me to feel .... a spark.

Yes, a spark of charisma. Of friendliness and hope. 

For just a moment, I felt like an actual child. We played all day and sparred in the afternoon, ate goblin soup for dinner and told stories to each other before going to bed. Soon my reason for being here was no longer because of the task I had. 

I walked, and walked, and walked sometimes to see what our inevitable fate would be while clocks and astral planes dance around me, shifting seasons people to come and go. 

No matter how much I walked though, Foh would end up stopping me, asking why I was so alone. The same question over and over - like a loop until one day, he disappeared, and everything was engulfed in darkness. A shadow’s darkness. 

I ran back. I’m scared of that future. However, I am glad the future can be changed, and I hope everyone can help me here stop HSART from doing such horrid things to children and man alike. I just wish I walked quicker to of seen all of our classmates die, so I could walk back and save them.... 

I really miss Fheifhei. And it hurts too much to hear Foh talk to her all the time about soup of all things....

 But at the same time, it warms my heart, because at least he’s alright. 

[congalineofpeace]

....If we much retain the last of our innocence, let us look to Foh.

Hrushvictar

[congalineofpeace]

A Word From Telecon (1)

Telecon: This has been a horrible turn of inevitable events. I apologize - we were too late.

Oha: It's my fault. I'm alive here fool and they're in that arena being feasted on by a ravaging giant spider. I'll... I'll....

Telecon: Oha. You saved who you could. Maywhitter has some severe trauma on her shoulders and back but will be fine, I've fixed her horns as well. Dacodix is numb from the waist down... And... Hrushvictar is fine.

Oha: Fine?

Telecon: He is fine. But... Foh... He is still passed out.

Oha: Do you think that idiot put his damn self in a coma?

Telecon: Data says it is a low possibility. His mind shows signs of mental damage and potential delusions and schizophrenia.

Oha: That's bullshit. Foh is just in deni-

Foh walks in, weakly walking as he collapses onto the astral patterned carpet in the classroom.

Foh: Ah! Crap... Sorry teach, I'm late again. And everyone seems to be here too again!

Telecon: ....Foh....

Telecon helps Foh up into a nearby seat.

Foh: I had such a terrible dream, right Meimei? Hahahaha- jokes on you! Teach is gonna yell at you if you saw that out loud y'know!

Oha: ... I'll... I have to go.

Foh: But....! Teach, class began. I gotta beat Ivris on this test! What are you saying? Ohhhhh- jerk! If I win, I get to-

Oha: ENOUGH! Foh.... Please.... Stop this....

Foh: Why? What's wrong? You're.... crying? Hey guys, get a towel! It'll be okay Oha, don't worry.

[congalineofpeace]

Arena 11

They’re...They’re... all dead. Everyone.... Everyone.... They’re... gone...

We... We were looking in a dungeon altogether for Hakoshu and Fupannya. Chuxa even came to help but... I was right. She shouldn’t of been trusted because everyone is fucking dead and I did nothing!

...Before we went inside this stupid fucking arena, Ellabella challenged Naovis to a fight. We were all on edge, suspecting someone to betray us, and Ellabella accused Naovis of being the one. At first, Naovis declined, but everyone began accusing her and suddenly Ellabella just in cold blood stabbed her best friend in the eyes and then stabbed her chest over and over... 

Maywhitter couldn’t revive Naovis after all the damage and we found out it only allowed a secret passageway to lead us to this stupid place. Oliver snapped as we kept going, turning... Insane. He wanted to kill everything. He wanted to kill Fheifhei and Flor and.... Dacodix put him out of his misery, and before she could make him pass out he took a bullet to the head from his own gun. 

But... we... did find Fupannya... She was with a bunch of skeletons and spiders, and a giant spider named DADDY. It hissed at us and she was acting as if this was just a stupid game, acting like an announcer...

The spider began to head towards us, slashing Meimei in the front lines first and eating her. Krair broke down, and got impaled by a skeleton, eaten alive by goblins. She kept crying, she kept asking for help... I just cried hiding.... 

Losadore and Ivris teamed up together to fight  the smaller skeletons until a spider poisoned Ivris. She cut her arm off and continued fighting, but they overcame her and she was killed by the spiders. Losadore died to the giant spider, screaming at it and giving it his all but... It just ripped his head off. 

Fheifhei continued to sing and play her heavenly songs until she lost her voice, and was almost killed by DADDY. Flor pushed her out of the way and was eaten instead- and Fheifhei was ambused in a web. 

Chuxa killed Uroc, and was killed by Venta. By the time there were so few of us, Symphonia and a demon named Black Bob arrived and allowed the rest of us to escape. A bright light flashed us.....

 By the time we came back to our senses, Pal-oice taped the arena and barred it so we could never go back inside . Hrushvictar’s right ear was ripped off in the battle with blood from Fheifhei. I was with Dacodix. She pulled me out even though I was running to go back. I could of saved them, I could of.... Maywhitter passed out, her horn was broke. Oha held her in his bloody arms, and spider poison made him on the verge of dying. 

...And now... We’re back in school. Not... Not learning...we’re... training. Just training now. I... I should of... I... 

...

I’m sorry, everyone. I’m so sorry...

[congalineofpeace]

Ivris: I can't believe that shit happened... we need to tell Oha now!

Foh: ... Ivris... What did that chick mean with Olives? He's a jerk but...

Ivris: Look. He's not right. He's been trying to kill everyone that doesn't look like us.

Foh: Charming?

Ivris: Human. A lot of us knew that, but they kind of... hid it.

Foh: What do you mean? What's the point'a for them to hide stuff from me? I'm mature enough to know.

Ivris: I know, you kept my secret all this time. But they think you're like Meimei. Innocent and cute. You're the last glimmer of normalcy.

Foh: But you guys are my family- classmates yeah but we've done it all together. I'm not-

Ivris: You and Mei are the only ones that don't know what's really going on! Your best friend tried to tell you but you call it jokes. You're weak and you'll never stand a chance fighting either- you're a kid. Hell, you haven't even been further than the forest. Everyone has seen the type of shit getting thrown at us.

Foh: ...Let's just go. Go and tell Oha. I'm going to show you I ain't no kid.

Ivris: Show them, not me!

[congalineofpeace]

Peeping

Ivris: Come on Foh, it's no big deal!

Foh: But this is their room, what if they're talk-

We heard crying. Loud, unbearing crying from the other side of the room. Ivris and I went to speak to Vl'duvast and Bob since everyone else was planning something - but..

Vl'duvast: We didn't agree on this you fool! You were supposed to keep the children safe, and now look! Everyone here is on edge because you wanted some fun.

A feminine, soft voice replied - someone we've never heard before. Distorted, as if it had some kinda static to it. I was going to open the door and check on them, but Ivris held me back.

???: Hush, You were foolish to agree with us, and not only did you betray your promise, we went light on your town. It was only two adults.

Vl'duvast: Two adults from our goddamned school! And one was a student from there. I broke your deal and seals right after you pulled that shit.

???: And it's such a shame too. At least you'll make a beautiful, beautiful pet.

There was silence for a moment.

Vl'duvast: Promise me... If I go with you, that you leave my son alone. He's the only one I have. I know...He's... Not right in the head. He needs this school to grow as a person though. This Tawn.

The voice laughed at him. He was talking about Oliver Thompson - someone he had raised because his actual parents left to fight TRASH. I wanted to talk to Ivris, but we didn't want whoever else was with Vl'duvast to catch us.

???: I'm not going to promise you anything. Don't worry about your stupid Tawn, though. Fupannya is making a great servant.

Vl'duvast: What did you do to her...?

???: She was already mad. I just... pushed her a bit more. Consider the whole family just a bunch of monsters now.

Vl'duvast: What did you do!?

???: If you must know... Your mayor is deceased. One is a mutant who can never die naturally, another is now a slave to devils. And her... She is ours now.

Vl'duvast: You....You monsters.... You said you were going to leave Bob out of this!

???: And you said you would be sealing the students with our mark and only got a few of them done in their sleep. You're as guilty as Fupannya is.

Ivris couldn't take it anymore and kicked the door, and we walked in to see Vl'duvast with a chain around his neck. There were inverted spikes that were hurting his neck, and he didn't look pleased to see us- but what got me the most was his wings. One was ripped off. Then, the girl...Both of us can attest for this when we say she was a literal shadow. She just looked at us and-

???: Don't worry, you two. You'll be free of sin soon.

And as she wrapped her arms around Vl'duvast, they faded. Blood stained his floor, and a black ooze was beginning to arise. We beat it, because... Well... we were scared.

Is this what TRASH is?

I am afraid we might be too late to find them as themselves...

Venta, being a pessimist butt again. 

We’re trying our best to find these two guys, but they’re honestly nowhere here. Oha is telling us not to go - that it may be a trap, but we can’t just leave the others. Venta and Hrushviktar are the ones most worried and saying we’re only going to die in the forest if we all go alone, so we’re going to wait for Symphonia to clear out at least a path for us to search. 

The Xions are helping out actually as well since they said they felt... something in that forest and that they should check it out before we go in. They gotta do it soon, they gotta... We’re wasting time checking Tawn in every nook and cranny. 

Foh out, going to check with Bob and Vl’duvast to see if they might know anything or if they’re doing anything.
