❝ hm. ❞ a hum escapes ever so slowly, something similar to what catherine felt the group was spiraling into : a slow, never-ending cycle, everything unfolding at such a controlled, yet agonizing pace. choking and blinding, such that sounds like a wondrous friday night. the trio, stripped of any and all abilities and hands forced to advance with NATURAL usage ( is this how humans felt everyday?! ). oceanics flicker towards the darker-tressed female, observing whatever forceful kicks would be of impact. NOTHING. the girl’s appearing to give in, her own body DESPERATE to collapse, but the leader’s statement rejuvenates fighting strength — they were almost done, the door was found. but there was still the matter of the crippling adversary, how to find it’s weak point and rid of it swiftly. brows knit, trepidation hidden, yet conscience is OVERFLOWING with pros and cons of whatever pieces of suggestion coarse through, ❝ I feel like i’m reaching my limit, and that never happens. I love a good workout, but this… ❞ a pause, ❝ it’s almost as though I have an idea where it’s weakest point is, but i’m not sure… kitty found the door, but we got to get rid of this, somehow. ❞  

@troublesomexneko. && @herskerinne.

Neko frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping over the monster as her teammates continued to try and find its weakness. It seemed like they were getting tired..which was understandable. She had a terrible headache, and she wanted nothing more than to curl up in her bed and go back to sleep. But that wasn’t going to happen.

At least, not so easily. 

She glanced at the door, trying her best to think of a way to help them. And then she remembered her weapon. It was an instrument, of some sort. She could try bashing the monster in the head with it, but that might not do much good. But perhaps a loud sound would drive the monster away. Or at least, temporarily catch it off guard enough for them to quickly escape. 

“I have an idea!” Temporarily disregarding her usual way of referring to herself, she stepped forward to join her teammates. Now that she’d found the right door, all that was left was to get rid of the nuisance. She grinned as she held up her weapon. “If it’s got sensitive ears, wouldn’t this work?” Not that she even knew how to play it, but she’d managed to crash a blimp by sheer dumb luck before.

“A loud noise might drive it away if I can get close enough to its ears!” Probably wouldn’t be too hard, considering the bug spray had it blinded and the magazine had it struggling to breathe. It seemed like it was just flailing around at this point, hoping to catch one of them. 

“If it works, it’ll give us time to get through the door! Hold your ears and get ready to run!” She charged forward, getting as close to the monster as she could before raising the instrument to her lips. She inhaled deeply, aiming directly at the monster and managed to let out one blaring note that seemed to hang in the air. 

Only downside was, it had rattled her as well, since she’d had to hold the instrument with both hands.

at this point, it was give and take, pleasure with consequence. nirvana was approaching, yet the trio proceeds to stumble two steps back. they were close, this much catherine could theorize, but the approach of a new foe grants one part vexation and another unsurprise : every other door seemed to spawn a nefarious energy. ❝ hey, don’t go crazy on me just yet, we can still make it !! ❞ palming the chemical spray, brows narrow and feet take off for momentum, ❝ coming through, dear leader !! ❞ utilizing the feline female as a hurdle of sorts, breathing paces as she pushes herself over the girl’s head and pressing the nozzle vigorously to unleash the spray once more in hopes to blind the monster in one go and formulate enough room to stun or defeat it with another ( suitable ) implement.

landing on worn heels, frame turns to witness the sight of the monster TEMPORARILY inept to see, initiating further panicked instruction, ❝ we’re doing good so far, this may be our ticket out of here. while the thing is blinded, we have to somehow find it’s weak spot. ailis, you and I can do that and kitty can find the right door for when we’re finished. ❞  

@troublesomeneko. && @herskerinne.

Honestly, she was rather glad for the action that followed. Not for the monster, but for the break it gave her brain. She was pretty sure she was going to come out of this with the worst headache ever. But she knew this wasn’t the time to let herself get distracted by the momentary lapse in the need to think, considering that now they had a bigger monster to deal with...though she couldn’t deny she was also a bit worried at the way one of her teammates had laughed, but that could come later. 

She was surprised to be used as a hurdle, but it was necessary to act quickly. Though she was a bit disappointed she wouldn’t get any of the action, she understood someone needed to find the right door, and being the leader, it was only natural that it would fall to her. She really wanted to whine about it, but she didn’t have time for that right now. 

“Neko will do it,” she nodded, clenching her fists. Being without her powers was frustrating. With her illusions, she could buy them all the time in the world. All the time necessary to find the right door. But trying in the mean time might unleash more monsters if they were unlucky. But Shiro was dependable. If it was Shiro in her place, he certainly wouldn’t turn away from something like this. 

She quickly ran over to the doors, mismatched eyes squinting as she scrutinized them for any detail that might give the right one away. There really wasn’t much difference in them, but she’d find one. She had to. Even as childlike as she was, surely her eyes wouldn’t miss anything. It probably wouldn’t be fun to fight a monster with no powers either. 

Her gaze flicked back and forth, knowing she didn’t have a lot of time. Making her decision as fast as she could, she threw the door open--though in hindsight, it might have been better to open it slowly in the event she was wrong and there was a monster lurking behind it..but there was no monster. Relief filled her and she turned back to her teammates, holding the door open for them.

“This is the one!”

mvchant:

❝ you know, a game can only be a game for so long. ❞ with the miniature foe repelled, words are spoken alongside a yawn and stretch. pocketing the can, catherine follows suit behind the brunette, own hand palming features at the cockamamie door’s reveal : that was the right one the whole time !! ( && ) now they stand at a new barrage, taunting and mocking to see who would guess right, wrong. a hand falls upon curved hips and frame shifts slightly to the right side betwixt examination, ❝ when this is over, a nice massage or something better come out of this. ❞ but then, she too turns to their leader, ❝ if the weird door was the way out the first time, then this time… hm, ❞ still, she’s in agreeance with the brunette’s sentiment, a sigh escaping lips ‘afore incorporating own judgment, ❝ I hear you there, but it would be too easy. they want to see us sweat and make us work to the bone. I can normally sense demons and monsters with no problem !! I have never wanted a bed to ACTUALLY SLEEP so badly, soooo exhausted. ❞ 

but there’s the second girl’s claim, ceruleans averting to the door on the left with a minuscule tilt of cranium : prior, catherine took the fall and it was for naught, so attention falls upon the salmon-tressed leader as a smirk tugs glossed lips, ❝ I already went, looks like it’s your turn to determine our fate, leader. it could be a bigger monster or our freedom, let’s hope she’s right. no pressure, though. ~ ❞  

@troublesomexneko && @herskerinne.

“Hmm..” It seemed like the pressure was on her shoulders now. Neko stared hard at the doors, almost like she expected one to suddenly pounce at them. She was hardly a logical thinker, and already she could feel the beginnings of a headache. She wanted to whine, but Shiro wasn’t here, and she didn’t want to disappoint him when she met him again. 

For the time being, at least, she had to be responsible...or at least try to, no matter how much all this thinking made her head hurt.  “Neko also wants to sleep....her head is starting to hurt..” Well, so much for not whining about it.

Catherine was probably right about the faculty wanting to make them sweat, to really challenge them. Though why she’d been made leader was still a mystery. It was a test after all, but she couldn’t help but think that maybe they were just being tricked. That maybe the goal was to make them overthink it. If that was the case, Neko felt like they were succeeding. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d ever had to think so much.

“Nya...well, we won’t know until we try!” she nodded, mostly to herself to psych herself up. She’d need to be prepared to attack if there turned out to be a monster behind the door. The cat-like girl clenched her fist and stepped up to the door Ailis had indicated. 

“Here goes!” She grabbed the knob and twisted it, pulling it open. “Well, Neko doesn’t see any monsters right now at least?” She took a tentative step forward, poking her head through the doorway. “Nya! This might be the right one after all!”

@herskerinne​

[troublesomexneko]

mvchant:

❝ oh, you’re asking me to do the honours? how sweet of you both. ❞ post-word, cautious heels walk towards the theorized door, slightly trembling digits gripping the knob with both EXCITEMENT and trepidation. ( && ) she turns it, pulling the door back for verdict to resurface.

WRONG DOOR. 

the blonde pushes herself backwards : sight beholds a minature monster that appears to be repelled without much effort. impulse prompts catherine to aim the bug spray can and push the nozzle to unleash the misty chemical to instill leverage on the team’s part, ❝ shoot, this isn’t the door either. hey, one or both of you help me get rid of this thing, will you? it’s already slowing down from the spray !! ❞ a flash of a growl swipes standard countenance : how could she and her teammates be wrong? the door presented the most as normal !! however, it was such a sinful action by the staff, applause had to be given where due. by process of elimination, it would be the door on the right if the decorated door is obviously a trap.

@troublesomexneko && @herskerinne.

Neko stood back and waited, feeling a bit nervous as Catherine moved to open the door. Though as luck would have it, they’d chosen the wrong door. Maybe she should have just thrown both open after all. But then again, they’d still have the monster to deal with. 

It was small enough that they could get rid of it without a problem though. That was the good news, at least. The monster probably wasn’t prepared to get a face full of bug spray though, and hearing her teammate’s words, Neko charged forward. After all, this much she could certainly handle. 

With something between a hiss and a growl, or as close as a human voice could get, she swung her foot at the unsuspecting monster, aiming to kick it back from whence it came. 

“Nya...Neko isn’t sure how durable that monster is, but at least it was small!” And they’d eliminated that door, at least. “Maybe that was the trick...maybe it’s the stranger and more silly door that’s the right one!”

❝ looks like the headmistress is already being a tease. ~ ❞ with full understanding of the task at hand,  a grin takes form ‘pon painted lips ( which, really began to shorten ever so slightly ) as oceanics capture the feline-looking girl already making somewhat of a headstart —— not too far, of course !! not with the continuous array of doors in bombarding their paths. picking up on the secondary teammate’s statement, attention turns to add judgment of her own, ❝ they want to play with us, see how gullible we are. hopefully, none of us are the type to touch something simply because it looks cute or shiny. ❞ though words are spoken in the general sense, hues do proceed to glance over at the team captain. digit curl around lips in a contemplative notion, ( attempting to ) contemplate an alternative of approaching the situation. ❝ obviously, it would be stupid to touch the out-of-place door, the other ones might be just as worse —— but, one of them has to get us somewhere, right? I would say that… maybe that one over there? ❞ ( && ) she points to the door on the far left, following up on ( a shaken? ) guess, ❝ back at my home, my father would do something like this for anybody who needed to be punished, he always made the door on the far left the “freedom door”, too bad nobody else picked it — they ended up being slaughtered. that’s my guess, though, do any of you have a door you’re wanting to try? ❞

@troublesomexneko. && @herskerinne.

Neko stopped short at the doors, fully prepared to just start opening them--only to freeze at the voices of her teammates. Quietly, she took just a step back, dropping her arms to her sides, as if pretending she hadn’t been about to do just what both of them had said not to. It was quite a struggle, however, since she was quite curious by nature. Had she been on her own, there would have been no hesitation to throw open the doors. 

But she was a leader now. She had to at least try to act responsibly...which was so hard to do. She had to think--quite possibly more than she had ever really done before. Her life was so carefree, and now...she was absolutely being tested.

Well, that was fine. She was pretty sure she had strong enough willpower to resist the urge to open the doors. What would Shiro do in her situation? He always had a plan, or he always seemed like he did. Even Kuroh..

She tilted her head to the side, folding her arms over her chest as her brows furrowed as she listened to Catherine. Truth be told, Neko herself didn’t really have any ideas to try--beyond opening them at once which was clearly not an option anymore. 

“Nya...that sounds fine to me,” she nodded, before looking over at her other teammate. “What about you? Neko is fine with trying both, but Shiro said teamwork is important!” That, and she wanted him to praise her for being so responsible when she met up with him once more.

Whoever made her the team leader either had a peculiar sense of humor or maybe saw something in Neko that the girl didn’t even begin to consider. She was as far from what would be considered leader material as one could be. But nonetheless, the happy-go-lucky girl was in charge which could only lead to some kind of chaos. 

She always got out of sticky situations just fine though, so it wasn’t like she was really worried or anything. She just wanted to see her friends again.

“Nyaa...let’s go this way!” Of course, she was already starting off into the maze without even consulting her teammates. It wasn’t like she was the type to really think before she acted. Even despite the situation and the odd weapon, she was in high spirits.

Though it did give way to confusion when she found their way obscured by...doors? She blinked and tilted her head. “Why do they need so many doors?” 

[troublesomexneko]

this is a reminder to myself to go make sure my teams are ready for threads, and then get those starters up tomorrow when i wake up. i’d stay up later and get them done while i’m thinking about it but i’m exhausted from today.

[troublesomexneko]

just a note before i log off for the night but i won’t be around tomorrow until a bit later in the afternoon/evening, since i’m going to visit family--but i will at least lurk on mobile on one of my blogs. i just want to give a heads up for the people partnered with my muses--and for the ones i have that are team leaders, i’ll send in for our challenges as soon as i get home!

herskerinne:

　　　raising an eyebrow, all she could do was just stare at her teammate – team leader, actually – trying to eat something that was clearly not edible. ailis was speechless. was she really supposed to get out of this labyrinth alive with this girl as dead weight? it seemed impossible now. so impossible she was one step away from finding the way out on her own.

　　　“ don’t eat that, and don’t even think about trying to play it either. the sound is sure to bring every breathing thing in here in our direction. i’m presuming you want to get out of here alive, right? ”

“Neko is hungry though...” But when was she not? But she was taking the situation in stride, at least. “Nya? You can play it?” she blinked and stared down at the object once more. “Neko wouldn’t know how to play it even if she did!” she laughed cheerfully, tilting her head to the side. 

“But of course Neko wants to get out! Neko has to see Shiro and Kurosuke again!” Was there a chance she’d run into them in this labyrinth? She wasn’t sure. But she was pretty confident she could still be a force to be reckoned with even if she couldn’t use her powers. Her mismatched gaze fell to the “weapon” in the other girl’s hand, and she found herself more confused.

What was the point of it, really? “Nyaa.....are we really going to be able to fight with these things?”

[troublesomexneko]

“Nya!” Of course, she would have no idea what her weapon was or even how to use it, so her first thought was to bite it. “It’s not even edible...” she whined, furrowing her brows at the brass instrument. “Maybe Neko can just hit things with it?”

   This had to be some trick or maybe his glasses were just broken. He just had to be seeing things. There was no way that out of all the people he knew that Neko was here of all places. He couldn’t believe it.

  “What the..? What the hell are you doing here?” he says before he was suddenly jabbed by her. “Oi. don’t do that. I have no idea where they are and I have not seen either of them here. So why are you here?”  To say the least Fushimi was rather confused seeing as he had yet to see anyone he knew from his past besides Munakata which was a strange feat in itself. Still Neko was just a complete surprise. 

She puffed her cheeks out, a small scowl forming on her face at his response. “That’s what Neko wants to know!” She had no idea why she’d been called here, or why she’d been separated from them once again. It was all she could do to hope they were there too, but she supposed one familiar face was welcome, even if it was him. 

“If Neko is here, then they have to be...somewhere..” She refused to let herself think otherwise. They were her place to belong, and if they weren’t here...she didn’t even want to entertain the thought. Still, to answer his own question, she pursed her lips and tried to remember what she had been doing before. 

“Nya...Neko was pretty sure she was just about to go home, but she didn’t make it there. Instead of home, Neko was here!”

Another day another dollar… Kobayashi is beginning to get used to her new lifestyle here in Hiraeth. Maybe it became more bearable not that Tohru is here with her? But now her peace of mind worsens knowing that Kanna is left by herself back home. They both may be powerful dragons, but unlike Tohru, Kanna is still only a child…

Now she really needs to get that trip home. But of course, the worry never shows on her visage. Right now she plans on doing some advanced studying at the library, but as she was making her way through the hallways, she suddenly finds herself getting tackled. Letting out a yelp of surprise, she was about to turn and give the newcomer a scolding, thinking it was Tohru, but stops when she realizes it was a complete stranger.

The girl apologizes and Kobayashi sighs, taking a moment to calm her anger.

“It’s fine, just be more careful next time.” The woman lightly reprimanded.

“Are you lost or something? Do you need help finding someone?” The shorter girl did say she had mistook her for someone else so Kobayashi thought she should ask. The school is pretty much a maze after all.

Neko nodded, looking more than a little sullen now. “Neko should have paid more attention,” she agreed. Had she really been that desperate that she would mistake anyone for Kuroh? She was pretty sure her own powers wouldn’t affect her, so she couldn’t be hallucinating...but, well, that was too much to think about and it was only going to give her a headache.

She did perk up a little, however, as the woman continued and she nodded. “Neko thinks Kurosuke and Shiro are here! But Neko can’t find them because there’s so many people and lots of places to look..” If she was here, then surely they had to be here somewhere too. At least Kuroh, since the two of them had been together. She definitely didn’t want to think that she was here alone. Not after finally finding people who accepted her and thought of her as a friend. That would be too lonely.

“Neko isn’t sure how she made her mistake either...Kurosuke is taller and has black hair.” But there was no use dwelling on the fact she’d made a mistake. “Have you seen them? Kurosuke is thiiiiis tall, and Shiro is this tall!” She asked, gesturing about how tall they were compared to her. “Shiro has white hair!”

purityofinnocence:

“Clothing is well mandatory for one pff, and two they can show a fair bit bout a person from first glance i think.” She laughed slightly, still very surprised to meet someone who was so anti-clothing, or that it was even such a thing. “Sides, i’m sure that if anyone can find stuff you’d love wearing it’d be me~”

linking her arm with the pinkette’s, she pulled her along into the closest shop to them.Judging both from the girl’s attire and her mannerisms Mimi presumed light an easy to move in clothing would most likely be preferable to the girl. Snagging a shopping basket, she started to grab a few things here and there off the racks. stuff like loose fitted shirts, some shorts, a poncho like shirt, some dresses as well. Then proceeded to guide her to the dressing rooms before handing the basket to her. “Try those on an see which feel the best to wear~”

“Neko is a cat! Cats don’t need clothes!” She protested, puffing her cheeks out more at the other’s words. “Clothes are too tight!” She cast another withering look at the clothing. But before she could protest even more, the other girl had linked arms with her and dragged her in.

“Nya?!” Her eyes widened as the girl began grabbing clothes left and right--or at least, that’s what it looked like to Neko. Even more baffling, the basket was suddenly thrust at her and she was guided to the fitting room. She sputtered for a moment, a bit thrown off to be pushed around like this. Normally she was the one with that kind of attitude.

She glanced at the door and frowned. “Neko doesn’t want to! Neko doesn’t like clothes!” She was practically whining now. Anything that kept her from having to put on more clothes.
