โจโพโจHis eye tracked Sarah as she approached the seats beside himself and Chance. "Sure." He gave a slight smile to intentionally offer a friendly disposition. "That's us. Nice to meet y'all." Being reminded of his as well as his partner's fame in the DWMA was pleasantly surprising. He was glad to be reminded that their cause was making its waves through the community. He twisted a piece of his hair as his serious expression returned. Kasumi offered to spar with him sometime although Rogue was unsure if he would take her up on that. His fighting style was inherently tricky and far from conducive for a fulfilling spar.
โจโพโจRogue instantly recognized the use of madness as the show included far more audience participation than he signed up for. When Chance jumped over the railing and ran toward Adelaide Rogue shouted out in surprise while standing from his seat. "What're you doin'?!" He became worried for Chance's safety as the weapon ran toward the danger. As a tiger attacked Rogue he fired a bolt of rose-red lightning from his palm to counter it. When Chance asked him to cover him he turned around and performed the same soul wavelength attack with incredible speed and accuracy at the bear before it could start chasing his partner.
โจโพโจRogue looked up at the cloud of madness that was beginning to form over the tent. Seeing Chance in the midst of it caused him to immediately spring into action. As he ran toward Chance and Adelaide, he drew a circle with his extended finger before firing a bolt of real light from a spirit mirror illusion. The light would pierce into the madness technique and destroy it or at least weaken it with the help of others. He continued running as the round mirror mirage disappeared. "Chance!" The Meister shouted as he approached him from behind on the stage and was ready to intervene to protect his partner by any means necessary.
๐ ๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ โจ Aggressive Shock | Level 4 | Tier 1 | Spirit (Plus Free Second Cast at Level 3) This shock is designed to hurt. On top of doing damage appropriate to its level, this kind of shock tends to disorient the opponent and frequently leaves them seeing double. The opponent's next attack misses if they've gathered less souls than their opponent. โฏ Of the Tide โฏ A repeated cast of a wavelength technique shoots out for no cost or action once every four posts, at one level lower than the base technique. โจ Refracted Light | Level 5 | Tier 1 | Spirit Rogue extends one index finger to "draw" a circle in front of him. This forms a mirror of spirit energy that is highly reflective of what is in front of it. Rogue channels more spirit energy into the mirror that shoots a beam of light from the mirror to attack the target directly. The light beam travels twenty feet per level applied to this technique. This spirit energy mirror can create the illusion of refracting light in the area by tilting the mirror but in actuality, it is Rogue creating the light beam with spirit resource.
Sarah held her breath as she gripped Enmeiโs arm. Something was coming, she could feel it. It lay underneath the anger and violence from the crowd. A kind of discordance that Sarah remembered all too well from the Madness Moon. โEnmei, letโs move!โ The Meister found her voice as the performer gathered a ton of energy within and outside of the tent. Enmei shifted with a flash of light into his rifle form, falling perfectly into Sarahโs hands. She wanted to know what was going on, but her first goal was to defend whoever was still in the tent.
With a yell, Sarah slammed the blunt portion of Enmeiโs weapon into the ground. The Wavelength charged Heel slammed into the ground, kicking up a shield of earth and stone to defend from the tiger that charged her. [Earthen Shield Level 2 from Enmei, Disabling Shock Level 1 from Sarah] โKasumi, can you take care of these animals?โ Sarah called out. With an effort of will, she had Enmei change into his double barrel mode. She leaned back, practically laying down, as she pointed Enmeiโs barrel up to the sky. She charged her Weapon partner full to the brim with Soul Wavelength as she grit her teeth against the incoming madness that pulled at her psyche. โSoul Snipe! Figure Eight Shot!โ She yelled as she pulled the trigger. Sarah unleashed her wavelength through Enmei as a large series of grouped up pellets of Wavelength. Theyโd tear through the tent, each hole combining to leave a pattern of an eight in the tarp. [Buckshot Level 2 from Enmei, Aggressive Shot Level 3 from Sarah]
The blue haired Meister let out a breath once sheโd fired her shot and rose back to her feet. There was more to look out for, but she needed to trust the other Meisters to keep things locked down. Instead, she returned Enmei back to his scoped rifle mode as she readied him against her shoulder. Sarah lit the end of his barrel with flame with her wavelength, but didnโt fire, as she looked down at Rogue, Chance, and the performer on stage through her scope. She had to leave it to them for now, but she kept them in her sights for back up.[Clairvoyance II Level 3]

Third Action:
โจ Clairvoyance II | Level 3 | Tier 2 | Spirit The Meister expends their energy outward, using their mind's eye to detect souls within the entire topic. This technique can be augmented with perks that specify different types of information. There is no cooldown for this technique, but it only lasts for two posts.

โจโพโจBefore Joan and Rhett had even gotten there the event was already going to Hell in a handbasket. "What the..." Joan was confused as she watched the pandemonium. There was a massive cloud of red energy and zoo animals attacking the crowd. "We need to help!" Joan shouted before transforming into a greatsword in Rhett's hands. She was glad that she decided to come to the circus now. She was determined to help Rhett defend the defenseless in the crowd from bears and tigers.
The loudest cries overrun its applause counterparts made the brunette's tolerate grow weaker by each second; prompting her to hop off her seat, turning around to yell back at the crowd. โ You bastards have no respect for stories! You, you AND YOU! I oughta come up there and make sure, the sun will NEVER shine!! โ Let me at him! Her temper was loose, a bystander had to hold her back, flailing and kicking in the works. โ Make sure, you sleep with your damn eyes open tonight, you momma'--- โ Wait. What was that?
Something's off instantly... no, wait--- this tension! A sudden flash of light covered her vision; it's her standing in the dark red streets of City Hall as the Madness Moon's twisted grin burn into those eyes. She remembers this! Returning to the present, Kasumi shakes it off before preying herself out of the stranger's grip, landing feet-first on the seats. โ On it! โ She replied back as one of the tigers came running in-between the stands, pouncing at the people behind her, claws bearing ready to strike. The meister was quick to react, side-flashing away from that spot; one strike then a second one before appearing above the tiger throwing one of her leg back then unleashing a third strike onto the tiger's back head. Cyclone Kick! { Kick l Scaled Level } The animal impacted to the ground inches from them as she lands back on the seats. โ Move it guys! Find a safe spot now!! โ She commanded loudly, the people didn't question anything as they turn heels to run away, as for her-- Kasumi starts running across the top seats targeting the animals first. Can't kill them, only immobilized them until then.

Ryan and Serah had been running late to the Circus, as they were finishing up their morning training routine. The two of them needed to work on their resonance together, so they had been concentrating on that lately. However, the two of them were due for a break, and the Circus would be the perfect place for that. However, it had seemed like the Circus was having issues of its own. A giant cloud formed over the main tent. And while neither of them knew what it was, they could tell just from the appearance that it wasn't good. That and the screaming coming from within.
Without a word, the two looked at each other and nodded, with Serah transforming into her Saber form for Ryan to wield. No need for them to risk shooting the bystanders. Whatever the trouble was, this would be a melee for now. It seemed as if various animals from the circus were attacking bystanders running out of the tent. Tigers and Bears. "The hell is going on?" Ryan rushed forward and stabbed the Saber into the ground before launching three blade beams along the ground towards a Tiger that was about to pounce on a bystander. [Sword Fang - Level 1]
To finish up, Ryan got in close and performed a slash with the Saber [Sword Slash - Level 1] while simultaneously sending a shock of his soul wavelength through the energy blade and into the beast. [Aggressive Shock - Level 1] The Meister would hop back to survey more of the area. It was panic, and that cloud above wasn't natural. Something nefarious was going on, and they needed to find out and help however they could. The team headed towards the main tent, unsure what they would find.

Well, so much for the day out of class and watching the weird circus people. Right when they had entered the tent late would something be going on. Rhett did feel unease here, with the boy frowning at the idea of seeking to go further into this place, but alas, Joan would have scolded him for the rest of the month at turning tail. And that wasn't what a hero would do anyway. A red cloud was above the crowd, with animals and everything busy causing mass havoc. "Right." Rhett felt the hilt of Joan's greatsword in his hand as he would quickly run to help out the few people who would be defenseless against the oncoming animals here. One of which was a woman who would be shielding her child from a roaring bear. It swung its claws at them as Rhett would block with Joan, pushing back against the beast while looking back. "Get to safety. Let us take care of this." he grunted against the strength of a bar and would then focus his wave length into a physical shape, then shooting it at the bear itself, striking it in the chest.
Not long after her outburst did the storyteller, actor, ringleader of the circus begin to speak again. The atmosphere had changed suddenly, the despair that stung the circus tent felt more like a deep and intense hatred. Then madness, as the circus broke into a mass of chaos. People all around being attacked by the circus animals. Lulyx wasn't sure what to do, honestly part of her felt that they deserved what they got. They were mean, right? They were getting what was coming to them right? They were basically no different from the Kishin Eggs that the meisters hunted on a daily basis. Of course, that didn't change much though. They were suppose to be protected, even if they were bad people in the first place. They were still humans of course. The storm of madness that formed over the area ready to destroy everything was also something that was not too great to be dealing with. Honestly, she knew she couldn't try and save everyone so she had to do something different.
Rushing down from the stands, avoiding any possible stray attacks from the animals attacking the crowds. It seemed others who were here were all dealing with the animals themselves. Not only that, but it also seemed that they were working on evacuating people in need as well. That was good, Lulyx wasn't particularly good at that, and had a different plan entirely. It also seemed like someone else had a similar plan to her. A boy who's hat flew off as he made his way to the ring master, the story teller, the source of this madness. His shout heard by at least her as she was also trying to get to the source of it. "M-MISS CIRCUS LADY PLEASE STOP WE DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE GETTING HURT ESPECIALLY NOT YOU!" She cried out. words quickly said as if in a rush, although that was how she spoke most of the time anyways.

Hello! I'll be taking over for ghostfinch since she's bowed out of the event. You'll have 5 days to reply before the next post for the event, so try and post by February 2nd!
The performer watched over the ensuing chaos of what had stricken the circusgoers without any bit of restraint, ready for her spell to lay waste to her stage. Yet just as the show was about to begin, a flash of light would weaken the storm, phasing the madness infused storm above them all away. Her eyes peeled over to Rogue and the few meisters and people who cried out to her to cease her performance. Why would they care about making her stop at this point? She came here to give the people a real show, and that's how it was going to be! "As our villainess descended further and further into the chaos, she began to feel its cold, darkened claws tear at everything she once held dear! The further she travelled, the darker her future had become..."
Her performance continued, as rays of darkness would surround the group in total as light dwindled around them. The ringleader was unphased by this, continuing her narration while the surrounding area would shift into an endless void of darkness. "Her world became distorted by the power she so yearned for. Rules and laws became meaningless to her. The only reality that she deemed important was that in her own maddened mind!" From the depths of this darkness came a multitude of darkness magic that washed over the area. Her hands raised, a dark pulse coming from the left as it fired several rays of magic at the parties nearby, but their movement was almost beyond predictable. They angled upwards, sideways, left to right, all over the place while in this dimension of the witch's. For the issues, she'd hold out her palm to Rogue while condensing this magic further, soon blasting a large wave of magic at the menace to her show. For good measure, she'd also do the same to the blonde one near the far back. Like the ones before, these curved around in all direction, coming at them from behind! "And yet, she traveled deeper and deeper in the hope that inside this chaotic realm would be the gift she saught."
Used: โพ The Dark Realm | Level 5 | Tier 3 | @ topic A harmless wave of dark magic is sent out over the entire area (topic). The area is immediately transformed into a dark mirror dimension with no daylight. The area feels like looking through a dark lens as they see themselves in broken reflections with shards of glass in the air. This dark dimension allows the Witch to instantly change the direction of their spells to trick the target. While in the dark dimension, the target's movements appear to be mirrored and inverted. Moving forward actually moves them backward, lifting the right arm actually moves the left arm, etc. The Witch is unaffected by this. This spell lasts for five posts and can only be performed once per battle.
โพ Doll of Suffering | Level 3 | Tier 2 | @ Rhett, Lulyx, Ryan and Serah The dark magic Witch fires a beam of dark energy at the enemy. It does not directly cause damage but moves extremely quickly. Once the dark magic makes contact, a clone of the enemy made of dark energy is formed. Any damage inflicted on the doll is mirrored onto the enemy unless the enemy spends at least thirty in resource to break the curse. The curse lasts for five posts and can only be applied once at a time.
โพ The Blackness | Level 4 | Tier 2 | @ Rogue, Sarah A fifty-foot wide wave of magic that is so dark that it appears black is fired at the opponent. This beam of dark aura is destructive and causes high damage to the enemy. It also drains forty resource from the enemy and takes away an action from the enemy for the following post.
As Adeladeโs words echoed around the tent, the world around them became perfectly inverted. Colors swapped within Sarahโs field of vision and she removed herself from Enmeiโs scope to get a better view of what was going on. โWhatโฆ what is thisโฆ?โ She whispered to herself. The girl lifted a finger, lightly poking at a floating piece of glass. It rocked in the air and showed the young Meister a shadowy outline of her reflection. The reflection, despite her not having done this, reached out to her. It was like it was beckoning Sarah to join the reflection inside the inverted world. The blue haired sniper stared in awe, enchanted by the glass, before a voice rang out to her. Enmei was calling her back to the world, the real world, and the problems within.
โThanks, partner.โ She replied. Her focus returned as she held her weapon braced against her shoulder, tracking the performerโs magic through her scope. Sarah pulled the trigger, shooting a rapid fire burst of soul energy towards the incoming magic. Her shots hit her target as far as she could see. But as soon as Sarah felt relieved for a brief second before a sudden blast knocked her off of her feet. Adelaideโs magic struck the Meister square in the back, despite the girl having followed it perfectly. The blast knocked the girl into the rows of empty seats with a crash. โOwowowโฆโ Sarah grit her teeth and pushed herself out of the newly formed rubble. She could feel her mind racing as she tried to figure out what just happened. The girl had tracked the spell, and her Perception hadnโt picked up on another one. So what happened?
Sarah wasnโt able to think about it for too long before she saw the same spell attacking the Weapon and Meister pair from earlier. โRogue! Watch out!โ Sarah readied Enmei and had to take a shot in the dark, literally. She wasnโt one hundred percent certain of her hypothesis but she aimed in the opposite direction as the spell heading for Rogue, firing a blast of Soul Fire at the incoming magic.

Ryan Grayson | Level 1 | โ | Meister | Traditionalist | Outlaw | 60 / 100 Spirit "Nobody hurts my pride without going through me first."
"You have to experience the world yourself to know what's really out there." Serah Shepard | Level 1 | โ | Weapon | Dual Alterer | Explorer | 55 / 100 Stamina
The duo continued towards the main tent, noting that the cloud above had cleared by what seemed to be attacks from within the tent itself. That meant more Meisters and Weapons were inside. It meant strength in numbers. Ryan smirked at this. Whatever was bold enough to attack the DWMA wouldn't last very long against the multitude of skilled students and faculty."Serah, we should get ready to unleash a Charge Shot when we get in there. Catch whatever's doing this by surprise."
Serah internally nodded as she shifted to her Buster Mode around Ryan's forearm. Their Charge Shot was commonly referred to as the Witch Hunter, but the aesthetic of how they unleashed it felt more like charging up a stronger shot. It worked for them, and also threw some enemies off that didn't know what to expect from it. "Just be careful. We don't know what's ahead, and also don't know if anyone else is trapped in there. Just be careful before you fire."
Ryan nodded in reply, but stopped in his tracks as a wave of darkness erupted from the tent ahead and began blanketing the area. "The hell?!" Ryan put his left arm up in front of his face to protect himself, as it was moving far too quick to avoid. However, nothing hit as the darkness washed over them. What was even more curious, was as he opened his eyes, his right arm was in front of him? And the Buster wasn't on it either. This caused him confusion, as he quickly found out that moving was reversed after a bout of nausea.
Ryan steadily regained his footing as he worked to get used to the reversed controls that seemed to be placed on his body. Like some sort of confusion mechanic in a game, but only in real life. Serah felt like she had vertigo as Ryan tried to balance himself. His waving around didn't help, but she was able to steady herself quicker than he was. That was until the two of them were shot each by a beam of dark magic.
Trying to figure out what happened wasn't easy. Neither of them were completely sure of their situation at this point. There was an incredible lack of information, and everything around them looked broken and out of sorts. It's like everything had been inverted to the extreme. Up was down, left was right, forward was back. Someone powerful was up ahead, and they needed to make sure people were safe.
"Ryan, this is all wrong, and look!" Serah mentioned to what was ahead of them. A reflection of themselves, but it wasn't right. It was broken, cracked, mad... Serah instinctively began pooling her soul, ready to fire. But as she did, the mirror image of herself faded from around Mirror Ryan's arm. What? She didn't understand it, but she knew what to do. "Ryan, blaze your soul! I dunno why, but I did and it made my mirror go away!"
Ryan took Serah's queue and began to exert his Soul Wavelength, directing it in no particular direction. He wanted to burn out whatever was causing this, and it wouldn't be long until his broken doppelganger would fade away as well. However, he was notably more winded than before. "If we're experiencing this, there's no telling what's ahead."
"Agreed. We should try to move steadily. This overall darkness is still messing with our movement. We need to be sure of what we're aiming at." Serah couldn't help but calculate while she was in weapon form. Other than attacking, that's all she could really do. Ryan was the driver, she was just along for the ride. She didn't mind at all though. Ryan was good at being a Meister.
The two of them moved purposefully, yet with caution as they neared the tent. It was like having to move backward to move forward. Ryan kicked backwards, just to see his foot thrust forward. This was incredibly weird, but it looked like they were getting the hang of it. "We're going to have to fire backward to fire forward. This is going to be difficult to hit."
"I think we're up for it." Serah was cheerful in her reply. They might've been newer students, but they were quick learners. After all, their training before they had even joined the DWMA had allowed them to be quick studies. It was all a matter of theory and application at the end of the day. Skill helped as well. And skill came from training. They've done a lot of training.

โจโพโจIt was becoming more apparent that Chance was not going to be able to reason with this woman. Rogue called out to his weapon partner before he transformed into a revolver and landed in his hand. He twirled the trigger around his finger allowing the gun to spin as he listened to the circus freak's rantings and ravings. He watched as the dark energy spread over the area. Rogue attempted to jump backward and found that instead, he jumped forward, closer to Adelaide. "Huh?!" He shouted out as he felt himself being controlled by the dark forces. Rogue then tried to raise his right hand to shoot at her but instead watched as his left arm was raised instead. The area was dark and filled with darkened looking glass. Is everything just opposite day in here? Rogue asked himself as he consciously lifted his left arm which allowed his right arm to rise to use the gun.
โจโพโจHe was in shock as he watched the black magic soaring toward him. He hesitated knowing that he would be unable to move correctly on instinct. As he tried to intentionally move to address the deadly attack, Sarah destroyed the spell. He turned his head the other direction allowing him to actually face Sarah. "Thanks!" The Meister gave a genuine statement of gratitude and allowed himself to smile before very intentionally turning back to the enemy. He fired a bullet of his own from Chance and watched his soul wavelength round travel toward her.

โจโพโจ๏ผช๏ผฏ๏ผก๏ผฎ โฆโฝโฆ Level 2 | One Star | Weapon | Dual Alterer | Ruler | 170 Stamina
โจโพโจJoan felt safe in her Meister's hands as she was swung at the enemies. She felt as if she could embrace him from a distance while in this form. Rhett was being brave and knew that they had to do something to protect these people from whatever was going on. She watched in her sword form as more darkness filled the circus tent. The greatsword felt sick as she watched the sword become inverted and twisted. All lightness went out of the place and groups of ordinary people screamed. "This is awful." Joan tried to adjust herself in Rhett's hands but found that she was moving in the opposite direction of what she intended. She sighed and continued to try until she realized that she needed to do the opposite. She focused extremely intensely as she watched the beam of dark magic being fired at Rhett. "Hmph!" The swordmaiden huffed protectively as she swung herself at the magic by focusing the blade in the opposite direction of what she intended on purpose. She used her cutting power to slice through it with ease. The warrioress was aggressive and forceful in protecting her beloved meister.
๐ ๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ โจ Great Swing | Level 3 | Tier 1 | Stamina The wielder swings the greatsword with a scaled level of stamina behind the swing at an opponent. The higher the level of stamina applied the more powerful the swing will be against enemy techniques and spells. The greatsword is swung with so much force that it cuts the air and increases the range of the slice five feet per level.

And if things could get from bad to worse: surrounding the whole circus was nothing but, dark; dark and a reflection.... though the reflection itself was anything but, normal-- a twisted silhouette mirroring Kasumi's movement causing alter directions as she was heading to where Rhett and Joan where. Even after defending against the animals, it didn't pick up the meister until the last two attacks miss. โ RELAX ME! โ She shouts, taking a deep breath to relax. Focus Kasumi. We're within a magical barrier inverting movements... use it to your advance! With a huff and stomp, letting out a roar as she felt her energy building up; changing into a battle as that transparent cloak appears around her, even that smoky image of tiger claws returned. โ Guys! Someone needs to deals with the performer! โ The rest of us can focus on controlling this animals as well as protecting the people! She yelled out.
First, she wants to see if she can do anything about the barrier. Still in her stance, Kasumi turns attention to the darkness, facing opposite ways before charging full-force to the walls, throwing punches and kicks together against it; anything she can throw out.

Rhett would watch as the performer on stage would be the conductor for this madness occurring in the circus. He wondered if the teacher had been in on this somehow, wanting a souvenir as an excuse to force his students into attending a now dangerous display of magic. The woman seemed to have been greatly irked by her story and the crowd's reaction, who now would begin casting spells all around, regardless if they were on her side or not. The innocent civilians would be caught in the middle of it all, with the crimson haired Meister huffing alongside his partner. "Is this some sort of plan for us meisters or something?" he asked himself, his partner drawn out and ready to defend himself or the other people near them. The performer on stage was conjuring some sort of strange spell when his eyes would widen in surprise.
The entire area would darken until everyone would be standing in some sort of strange void. He'd look down and still feel the ground beneath his feet, but making any sort of movements proved to be purely ineffective against this. He tried to charge forward but somehow had moved reverse of his original direction. This caused the boy to stumble, cursing to himself as he spotted the blasts or air beginning to fire off attacked towards them. He panicked, jumping backwards which resulted in Rhett being thrown forward towards tge attack. Saved only by Joan's timely assistance. He'd take her handle again, giving her a quick nod. "Thanks for the save...Blue." It was a bit corny but she would know he cared. His eyes went to the performer on stage as he would begin to run towards her. Hm, still going backwards. So maybe if he ran that way instead of forwards?
Rhett arrived in front of her while he'd try to reason with the girl. "Please!" he called out to the woman. "You need to stop! The audience that was booing you is gone! Please dont involve any of the others." In some miracle, he had hoped that she could see reason somehow.
Such chaos warmed Adelaide's heart while she sat back and watched the fruits of her labor. Her audience would seem to be finding her show rather boring, although one lucky audience member with beautiful blue hair would lavish the pain her attack had on them. She laughed to herself, raising both hands in front of the group. "Such a wonderful audience! I am humbled by your wonderous attention given exclusively to me. I hope that you've enjoyed the perfor-" Her speech was interrupted, no, RUINED by the sound of a gunshot. It caught her off guard, looking around as she felt something dribble from her arm. With baited breath, Adelaide raised her perfect arm to see a bullet hole, alongside blood pouring from the wound. She took a single step back, holding her arm in worry. Gone was the stage presence that the girl had, replaced entirely by one of fear as she'd wince in pain and Her eyes shot to the gunman with a look that was as if he had crushed this girl's dreams! "Y-You...don't like the show? I worked so hard and...you hurt me." she asked, gazing down at the blood on the stage. A boy would come closer, one of her audience, yelling at her to stop. It was similar to the cries of the other people, but her eyes would widen at seeing that which the girl loathed. "R-Red. Nono, I don't want her to come out! J-Just go away!" she mumbled underneath her breath. That irksome color, the one she hated so much. Her hands trembled while this entire set had been ruined. All by that man in black with the gun. Through tearful words, she'd babble out to him, maybe everyone around him in a sort of plea. "Ah-I tried, I really did! I did everything they wanted me to do to get the strongest in the DWMA or they'd hurt us. But it's still not good enough..." Adelaide would frown for a moment as a look of worry and concern was evident on her face. She looked anxious and unaware of the current situation before she'd stop, looking to the red again. Her eyes lingered on it for a moment, eyes showcasing her apparent horror.
The barrier against Kasumi's attacks held firm, maybe just some amount of scratching if it were some kind of kick against something tangible and metal, but was unseen at best. The darkness across the area would be ever present, still draining the arena in darkness.
A moment of silence came from the performer, gazing to her wound again and slowly pressing her hand against the bloodstained skin until her entire hand would be coated in the crimson ichor. Adelaide's entire persona would change. Her peppy and somewhat childish nature was replaced by a being that was entirely its opposite. "But why stop the story now? we're just getting to the good part." She rushed forward towards the red boy, grabbing his wrist while swatting Joan away from his grasp, hard. Regardless of if the clanging noise filling the air as it hit the ground or if the weapon would reform before impact, Adelaide would force his head down to her level. Even as he pulled away. Blood stained onto his cheeks while Adelaide's form emit a red glow as Madness began to flow into the meister, her shadow's expanding to cover the area around him with her magic. "There once was a fair prince of all the land. Whose heart was as grandiose as the kingdom he was to inherit. Yet it would yearn in a prison of nobility and higher class. Forced to marry a woman he had no interest in, the prince would adapt to a life of solitude away from others. One day, he came across a fair maiden of the world who had seen his naรฏve, beating heart. He'd find himself infatuated with her, his every desire combined into one woman. With his heart in her hands, the woman would be whisked away to marry the man of her dreams."
Rhett's kicks and movements to free himself had grown more frantic, though the dark magic flooded across him was encasing him in a silhouette of magic as the form was changing. Extensions of its body growing wider, extrusions coming from the head while Adelaide would finally let go as her magic took hold. "As the two were to wed, the woman was none other than the madness riddled witch, hiding her form under the guise of our Prince's dearly beloved. As their lips met during the wedding, his fate would be sealed as the maddened woman was set to be-" Adelaide smiled as the boy's form had been fully inhabited by her summoned spirit. Turning to the rest of everyone, she'd offer a wide grin. Her maddened gaze cast across the ground as she watched her creation lumber off, her form fluidly moving across the stage and towards their victims. She'd set her sights on Rogue and Chance.
"And what would the Queen be without her loyal subjects?" she snapped her fingers as The Queen's form would shake again, parts of her being splitting off in a slithering, malleable mass that would spread over the ground. Their bodies formed into smaller being styled after the appearance of a tiger, although under that same dark magic induced effect as The Queen, pouring out in alarming numbers as they'd quickly run rampant over the area. The beings were hardly more than the size of a child, though their hands (more like paws?) topped with sharpened claws that had no issues cutting through anything they so desired. The army would begin to ruin the are, although some were more preoccupied with their destructive fun to pose any risk. Chance and Rogue would soon find themselves overrun, as they'd begin to funnel themselves into surrounding the two of them in great numbers. "Ekeke...". [Get Jumped | Level 5 | Tier 3]
With chaos amok, she'd focus on that fun little girl from before. Adeleine whistled sharply, as four other bears wearing tutus erupted from nothingness. Their roars shook the platform while she'd motion towards Sarah with her head. At her command, the animals would charge at her. They stood massive on their hind legs, aiming to smash her into the ground if she couldn't combat them fast enough! [It's a Jungle Out Here | Level 4].
"Don't you see?! I only want to spread joy across the stage! Why won't you give in?!" Adelaide asked to anyone in particular, watching her performance continue on. "This is SO much better than the other me, wouldn't you say?~"
Tech. Active: โพ The Dark Realm | Level 5 | Tier 3 | @topic A harmless wave of dark magic is sent out over the entire area (topic). The area is immediately transformed into a dark mirror dimension with no daylight. The area feels like looking through a dark lens as they see themselves in broken reflections with shards of glass in the air. This dark dimension allows the Witch to instantly change the direction of their spells to trick the target. While in the dark dimension, the target's movements appear to be mirrored and inverted. Moving forward actually moves them backward, lifting the right arm actually moves the left arm, etc. The Witch is unaffected by this. This spell lasts for five posts and can only be performed once per battle.

Rogue & Chance: โจ Get Jumped | Level 5 | Tier 3 |@both The user of this technique employs the best possible tactic in a street fighter's arsenal...having other people jump their target(s). The user of this technique will whistle, and seemingly out of nowhere a horde of thugs, gangsters, general criminals, or just about whatever groups of people one might find out on the street appear. This attack is effectively an AOE Attack, in which the thugs that seem to come from nowhere batter any enemies within the topic, and even vandalize the topic itself within reasonable capabilities of mostly normal people.

Sarah: โพ It's a Jungle Out Here | Level 4 | Tier 2 |@sarah x4 The witch generates mimicries of their animal family that form around the witch. She can create up to ten of these, but the power of this technique is divided amongst them. These magically constructed animals attack at the witch's will. At base, these animals last four posts.
