Design notes:
Tumblr media
This took way longer to post than I expected mainly because of imposter syndrome and constantly thinking I could do more for his entry but, I'll keep this as Ace's main style anyway. It's pretty simple compared to previous designs, but to be fair, devil Ace's personality and shenanigans would stand out enough to compensate for that matter LOL
As I said on Deuce's post, I wanted to connect their designs in some aspects, so yeah! Complementary color pallettes! That's why they both have few shades that stand out of their main monochrome colors, Deuce is blues and greens, while Ace stays around red and oranges!
Fashion-wise now, I initially pictured him pulling a lot more references from 80s men fashion, but ig by the end I accidentally strayed away from that and somehow incorporated a more "modern" influence to it? Man I'm very bad at describing the creative process and vibes of my designs but what else is new 😭😭 ANYWAYS, off topic but I should mention that, as you can see I'll throw in a high heel in any characters that give me the opportunity to do so, this one especially, I had Cleo's "dawn of the dance" heels in the back of my mind while designing, ( I forgot to include in the image above again 😔) which fun fact, was my first Monster High doll I got as a kid, so-!!! That's a shoe style that I'm very fond of KWDNWKSNSK
LORE DUMP TIME, ok so given each characters unique scare-itage, the way the cast interact with each other and build relationships could somehow differ from how they interact in og twisted wonderland! For example, since MH!Ace is THE devil from THE bible (/ref) he probably shares a common background, or have met Vil and Idia before they enrolled in MH!NRC together! That's such a funny thing to think about for me. Who would have thought they'd ever be a trio of great childhood friends?

I just know when the Leona club card comes out, the Leona simps will start losing it
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PLEASE 😭 I've already seen people lose it for the inevitable Club Wear Leona the instant we got the Magift Club uniform preview for Ruggie... IT'S THE SIMPS HONING IN ON THE POTENTIAL POWER OF LEONA IN A TIGHT BLACK OUTFIT AND A BELT SNAPPED OVER HIS CHEST TO PERFECT FRAME HIS PECS 💀
adgvkjvasdoasooeq I'm just over her thinking of Epel putting on his own club uniform and having to adjust the belt a ton because he's so small and flat compared to the other members on the team (I mean Ruggie isn't that muscular either but at least he has an average build) 😔 Poor lil' apple feeling insecure of how shrimpy he is and envious of the captain's tall, buff physique...
Tumblr media
***Spoilers for Ruggie’s Club Wear Groovy below the cut!***
I think a lot of us had our fingers crossed that we’d get an illustration of Ruggie pulling off this crazy maneuver from a book 2 twistune/rhythmic:
Tumblr media
But what we ended up getting was a banger too, even if it wasn’t what we were anticipating. The composition is sort of framed to give the illusion of Ruggie hanging upside down though! You can tell he's having tons of fun zipping around on the field and pulling the rug out from under his rivals' noses. He's so nonchalant about the disk whizzing by that close to him too 😂
Tumblr media
It's really interesting for the Magift Club groovies in particular since it's a physical activity unique to Twisted Wonderland. Its rules and special equipment allow for a fascinating range of dynamic poses compared to the Basketball Club and Track and Field Clubs which we have previously seen. You can see this expressed in Ruggie's unique furniture animation as well!
A lot of attention and care went into this for sure. Excited to see Leona and Epel's Club Wears in the future!! I hope they have the same level of detail.

I'm glad you're back and in a better place!
If it's possible could you do diasomnia boys with a Pokemon trainer reader
(maybe even add in what you think the boys' favorite pokemon would be if you're up to it)
Diasomnia w/ a Pokémon trainer partner
You, my good man, know how to reach my heart
Absolutely
I will enjoy this so much
. . .
Mind you, I scoured the Pokédex just to find the perfect match for them
Also, sorry for being slow! I literally got sick as soon as I opened the box lmao
{not proof-read}

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
When you told Malleus you had a surprise for him, he was so ecstatic that it showed in the clear weather. Whatever surprise his boyfriend had prepared for him, he would be happy with it. But you introducing your Pokémon team to him was something he wasn’t expecting
He’d only heard that you had a team of other-worldly creatures but actually seeing them was something else, so of course he was interested in them
Oh if you let him feed your team he will be over the moon. Please let him give them berries or any Pokémon-safe dish. It could be the smallest one on your team or the biggest grunt you have, he will be happy to feed them
If you ask him to help clean your Pokémon, Malleus will fumble a bit since Pokémon require different types of care but he’d be more than happy to help. Honestly, to him, it’s like you have your own little pet family
Imagine randomly finding a Pokémon egg that wasn’t from your team. It just showed up in Twisted Wonderland. You don’t really have any safe way to store or care for the egg since you’re in a foreign land (no boxes sadge) so you give it to Malleus!
Dragon instincts immediately kick in for him. This Pokémon, whatever it ends up being, will be your “child” no debate. I full heartedly believe that Malleus would be a master of dragon types (or dragon-looking types) so I would either give him a shiny Charizard (Charmander) or a Garchomp (Gibble). I think they look cool with his style/color palette
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
Lilia has seen a lot of things throughout his rather long life, but you wanting to introduce him to your Pokémon team was a pleasant surprise and experience for him
He thought they were so cute! From the smallest one to the biggest one, all of them were adorable to him! He really wanted to build a connection with them not only to get closer to them, but to you as well
Do not let this man feed your Pokémon any food that he makes. It’s alright if you give him pre-made stuff that’s safe for them but do not let him feed them unattended! Some of your Pokémon are smart enough to notice, others aren’t!!
Again, parental instincts. It’s like second nature to him when you ask for help in cleaning your Pokémon, like he already knows what they need
So when you suddenly find an egg that didn’t come from your party, you decided to give it to Lilia since you had no way to take care of it.
Lilia getting an egg from you and treating it like a child brings back memories of his past. Pleasant ones. I would give Lilia either a Swoobat (Woobat) or a Noivern (Noibat) solely because they have a bat motif to them
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
Silver knew how big the world was solely because of the stories his father loved to tell him when he was young. Never did he once expect a simple surprise from you would be you introducing your Pokémon team to him
He had heard that you used strange creatures to battle but he never thought he’d be able to see these creatures first-hand. He absolutely loves these creatures
Silver loves feeding your Pokémon with you. He thinks it’s an opportunity to bond with your team and relax with you. He’s super careful about feeding them and only gives them what you tell him to give
When it comes to cleaning your Pokémon, Silver is kinda a hit or miss. With some of them, he might be really skilled. Others, not so much. Oh well, at least it’s easy for him to learn new things
Finding a random egg that your team hadn’t created was a shocker to you. You had no way to care for it since Pokémon weren’t a thing in this world so you decided to give it to Silver
He was a bit slack-jawed when you gave him a Pokémon egg. He doesn’t really know what to do or how to care for an egg but he was thankful he had his father to help him learn
It doesn’t matter to him what he gets when the egg hatches. It’s something you gave him and trusted him with. He has every intention of fully caring for it. If I had to give Silver a Pokémon, it’d either Galarian Rapidash (Ponyta) or Gallade (male Ralts) since I think he’d do well with psychic types. Besides, they work well for a knightly character
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
Sebek had heard the rumors that you used other-worldly creatures to fight but he never knew whether to believe them or not. So when he allowed you to take him away from his duty and show him your surprise, he was stunned
So the rumors about you having strange creatures was true! But now this opens a whole can of questions for him. How did you get them? How do they fight? Are there different types? Different colors? Be prepared to answer a lot of them
Sebek is helpless when it comes to caring for your Pokémon. He only feeds your Pokémon what you say they should eat. As much as he wants to pamper them, he has to keep his composure and do as you tell him. He wouldn’t want to hurt them or lose your trust
Again, helpless. He wouldn’t be able to clean your Pokémon, especially if they’re the mischievous type or just don’t like baths. As much as he would like to help, he feels he wouldn’t be super good at it. Oh well, at least he’s willing to help and learn
So imagine finding a random egg that is in no way connected to your current team at all. There’s no possible way you’d be able to take care of him because of your lack of boxes so you decided to give it to Sebek
Although he was initially against having his own, it took only a few seconds to convince him because it was a gift from you and it can provide an advantage in fights…it was mainly because it was from you that he agreed to care for it to the best if his ability. Croc boy was the hardest for me actually but I narrowed it down to shiny Chimecho (Chingling) and Krookodile (Sandile). Just look at their entries. Trust me

Short translation from the second Twisted Wonderland novel: Jack and Yuuya
"First-year student, Jack, has been selected to play for Savanaclaw. The team that is overseen by Leona Kingscholar.
His appointment drew a lot of attention from other students. Very few athletes have ever managed to earn a place on that particular dorm’s roster immediately after enrolling. Savanaclaw is a powerhouse both by reputation and in reality, and when Leona was selected for the team three years ago, it sent shockwaves throughout the school.
You must prove yourself worthy by being unusually intelligent, magically proficient or physically adept—or all three—within the first month or two of enrollment in order to manage it.
Such a promotion would normally be reason for celebration, but Jack seems to struggle with mixed feelings on the matter, as he knows what Leona is planning.
When Ace and Deuce tease him for it, half in jest, Jack makes a pained expression and responds, ‘Praise from someone so underhanded is nothing to be happy about.'
‘You’re not thinking about dropping out though, are you?’
‘Of course not.’
Yuuya has been worried, but Jack’s expression immediately sours.
‘I don’t run away, no matter what. I’m gonna fight fair and square.’
‘In that case, something’s off,’ Ace says, pointing in the direction from which they’ve come with a puzzled look. ‘The procession is gonna start from the main building, right? Coming over here means twice the back-and-forth. So what are you doing out here?’
‘It’s not as out of the way as all that. I wanted to warm up before the match, so I went for a run. Then I just happened to see you guys…’
‘A run?’ Grim interjects. ‘That’s the same thing ya said this morning.’
Jack stops dead in his tracks.
‘You're overdoin’ it with all this runnin’ around before the match. Sure, you made the team, but this is takin' it too far.’ 
Grim seems mostly surprised by how Jack never grows bored of exercise, but Yuuya and the others shake their heads. It is unquestionably strange for Jack to have intentionally strayed so far from the meeting point for the procession, and now Jack himself is glancing about with shifty eyes.
Deuce and Ace exchange a sly grin.
‘It’s impressive that you managed to find us with all these people around. You sure it was a coincidence?’
‘And going for a run in your dorm uniform? You expect us to believe that?’
Suddenly flustered, Jack raises his voice defensively. ‘Don’t take it the wrong way! It's not like I came here to see how you guys are doing because I was worried that you might be nervous. It's just a coincidence! Coincidence!’
‘What’s the matter, Jack-kun? Getting all worked up. All you gotta say is, ‘I came to check on you because I was worried.’ Can’t be honest, huh?’ Ace mocks Jack’s obvious displeasure. Deuce chuckles, saying, ‘You’re hardly one to talk about not being honest.’
Yuuya had this same thought this morning at Ramshackle: Jack is good at looking out for others. He has a strong sense of responsibility that manifests in how he acts without thinking—without any hesitation. 
He bickers with Ace now, but his usual silent composure always feels just as dependable. He will often say that he doesn’t like moving in herds, but he probably finds others relying on him in classes, too, whether he likes it or not. The scene is reminiscent of when Jack chased off the ghosts this morning, telling them to stay away from him, and Yuuya finds himself laughing right alongside Deuce.
Jack, his faced flushed, looks straight at them. ‘Hey, cut that out!’
‘Ah, I’m sorry.’
Yuuya reflexively apologizes in reaction to the intimidating words. 
Jack was perhaps a little louder than he’d intended to be due to being so flustered, surprising even himself. Looking annoyed, he purses his lips.
‘…it’s not like I’m that angry about it.’ His tone is now much more subdued.
Yuuya apologizes again and Jack’s expression remains stiff, though his white ears twitch in response. 
‘And stop talking so formal all the time. We’re in the same year. It’s like I’m bullying you or something—it feels wrong.’
’I really didn’t mean to…’ Confused by the deepening furrow between Jack’s brows, Yuuya nods. ‘Okay. Sorry about that.’
Yuuya has been unconsciously using formal speech with Jack in response to the intensity of his first impression, but they are classmates, after all. It must have seemed rather odd, and then made even odder in contrast to how he speaks with his other fellow first-years, Ace and Deuce. 
‘As long as you get it.’ Though Jack’s gaze is still sharp, his tightly pursued lips seem to gentle.
Ace smirks, nudging Jack with his elbow. ‘Huh. I think I’m starting to get your vibe.’
‘What now—you mocking me?’
’Nah. Just think you’re funny.’
When Deuce joins in the teasing Jack shouts, ‘Shut up!,’ but the two are used to him now, and not the slightest bit intimidated. And Yuuya, who has come to understand Jack’s earnestness, now finds him interesting instead of frightening.
'Oh my, is that Jack Howl from Savanaclaw?’"
(This connects to Azul's introduction, below!)

" Even if the world will or might hate you, I will not as you are my love, so please let me carry your burdens as well as you carry mine we are equal in this marriage "
But with Rook, Jack, Ruggie, Riddle and Azul
Tumblr media
Proposal (2) | Crewel Daughter Reader x Yandere Twisted Wonderland
Tumblr media
Rook Hunt
Probably a lawsuit 
Or maybe a family reunion
Whatever it is he’s been ostracized and called weird
Something he often gets in passing but this time it just hurts 
For someone so eccentric he’s not exactly open with everyone
Let alone computing his frustration in the normal way
So he’s uncharacteristically is angry 
Firing intensely at multiple targets 
He hardly notices your there until he sees a black and white feathered arrow break through his
“Mon amour? Désolé, I didn’t notice you were there.”
“You? The famous hunter: Rook Hunt, unable to notice me?”
“Well mon amour, you are ethereal.”
He gives his smile but your unconvinced
Firmly removing the bow and arrow from his hand
You push past his hanging locks to hold his face to look at you
Pulling him in to touch your forehead with his while you maintain eye-contact
You recite your vow to him rubbing your manicured thumbs over his cheeks
When you finished he dove into kiss you with you reciprocating
Pulling you against his muscular chest
Letting him run his hands all over your body as you both made out
Eventually, you feel the weight being lifted from you pocket
“Awww you were going to propose?”
“So were you.”
You both pull away to reveal the ring you each brought for one another
Crewel’s not as averse to this then he originally thought
All he’s ever uttered about you has been praise 
And he’s well aware of the hunter’s habit of avenging your character at any opportunity
Violent or otherwise
“The bloodhound is a better choice, though I’m curious how well he’ll fare in the future.”
Tumblr media
Jack Howl 
He probably didn’t get the position he wanted most on a team
He’s usually so sure of himself 
Only to find he’s been benched 
But its not because of his skill 
Its the coach
Took one look at you, hearts in his eyes, and a look of disdain for Jack
From then on he’s been trying to sooth his rising anger
He didn’t want to resort to violence, you deserved better
Andit’dbeobviousanyway
“(Y/n) can we talk…?”
He’s not one to sit on something when his mate is willing to listen
“I just hate how he insists upon something so baseless.”
“Oh Jack…”
You say what you say before giving him a kiss on the corner of his lips
Getting on your knee, he’s transcended the pettiness of the coach
It also helps that the coach went missing
Crewel thinks it's okay but he still wishes he ‘wasn’t such a brute’
“It must be the muscles…darling please consider there’s more to look for than extrinsic value. I doubt there’s much really happening upstairs.”
Tumblr media
Ruggie Bucci
Probably a failed promotion
Maybe for him taking left over food or they found out he has ‘laugh with me’
He just wants to be able to provide
And not have to rely on your finances
He just wants to be there for you
“I just want see where I can support you, you know?”
“Well there is something you can do for me…”
Getting on your knee and proposing to him has him erupting in a blush
He’s between being angry he didn’t do it first and just beside himself with pride
He’s landed the love of his life and all without using his unique power
He might just burn down an office building for celebration
Crewel isn’t happy but when is he ever
He thinks Ruggie is too much of henchman to be married to you
“You had to pick the smallest one in the litter? Does he know how to be more than a lackey?” 
Tumblr media
Riddle Rosehearts
He’s rejected on a major scale
Similar to his overblot incident 
He just goes too far in his willingness for rules
Maybe not as far but to others it feels like it
And right now it feels like everyone’s turned their backs on him
He’s riding in the early morning so he can clear his mind hiseyes before the day starts
You come to the rescue riding your own midnight stallion as you ride up beside him
“Well Roses, how are you feeling?”
He doesn’t fully release his inner thoughts only tightening his hold on the reigns
“You don’t have to tell me anything but I need you to listen.”
Having your horse bow while you present the crimson ring 
He blushes and the nearby forestry alights with flames
Confident he doesn’t step down from his decision
“Off with your heads! For the crime of hostile peer pressure!”
There’s got to be a rule for that ifnothe’llmakeone
Crewel thinks he’s too much of a stick in the mud 
“Isn’t he far too straight-edged? Don’t you think this will hinder your lifestyle, darling? Is he really worth it?”
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto
One of his budding locations has some major problems on the opening month
That further is worsened by the competitive restaurant across the street
Who somehow were able to orchestrate a threat made of what looked like blood on their fish tank
But it called Azul out specifically
And while it was cleaned and the rest of the service went smoothly it really shook his self esteem
Leaving you to pick him up
He treats his room like his pot 
Refusing to leave but willing to let you poke your face into
“I have to wonder, (Y/n), am I in over my head? Am I really not cut-out for this? Do I even deserve this!? Do I even deserve you?!”
You cup his head and kiss his beauty mark and then his nose
“Well of course you do, I accepted didn’t I?”
He chuckles and you gleam
“Its also why I asked to put that ring on your finger.”
He looks up at you in confusion
“Huh? Ring?”
“Yes. Ring.”
You hold up his hand with a pearl diamond crusted ring
“Wh-wha-huh–I–ah-ohmygosh!”
“Just say yes darling!”
“Yes yes!”
With a pep in his step he happily let Floyd & Jade pick the events for the bachelor party in exchange for a small favor
The competitor wasn’t a problem after that
Crewel wants to despise him but he respects the hustle
“Anyone who can gain control of an entire school like he has…I guess is worthy enough. But then again a school run by that crow must be breadcrumbs for that sleaze.”

what if the losers did the camp councillor thing when they were teenagers... what then...
richie would be so loud about singing camp songs, everyone can always tell when his cabin is passing through because he sings so loudly. he knows camp songs no one else has ever heard of. he's always trying to get the kids to participate too, he loves the pizza man song because his campers always come up with the weirdest professions and he has to invent a verse on the spot lol
they have a themed day every week and bev has taken it upon herself to make them as wacky as possible. alice in wonderland? she's convincing the kitchen to do breakfast for dinner, dinner for breakfast. pirates? camp-wide game of capture the flag in the water with canoes. space? there are paper mache planets hanging from the dining hall ceiling and glow in the dark paint is everywhere.
ben leads survival activities and teaches all the kids how to build awesome structures, and at the end of the week theres a competition to see who can build the best one, with ben as the judge. he's at least half responsible for 99% of the structures though so he usually just defers to the other losers lol. he's like teaching these nine year old kids about complex math so they can build the weird little stick houses of their dreams
stan also leads survival activities and he loves being soooo serious with the campers and the campers take it so seriously too, he has all his boy scouts knowledge and he uses it to destroy the competition it is very funny how these little kids take it so seriously because of stan. by the end of the week its like he has an army of mini-mes.
they have two campfires with marshmallows every week and mike runs them and they have a talent show on the last day and he lets the kids "sneak" second marshmallows and he tells ghost stories that are maybe a bit scarier than they should be for a bunch of 10 year olds lol. he's so good at it too, even the other councillors are way freaked out. him and bill brainstorm for the campfires with mike contributing historical knowledge and bill helping to make it more story-like and scary
back to stan and his army of mini-mes, every week theres a capture the flag competition, and bill and stan take it way too seriously, they have a tally in the main office of whos team wins each week. stan doesn't take it as seriously as bill but he finds his little army to be one of the funniest things in the world so he always gives it his all. bill and stan are yelling out directions like drill sergeants and all the other camp leaders are just being normal about it. its great
richie always sings super loud and obnoxiously at campfires but after a summer or two of them he secretly starts to get very good at singing but still does the awful out of tune singing from the beginning
eddie is fighting for his life trying to strike a balance between not letting the kids get hurt and not being smothering it is very difficult and he keeps having to call in his friends to ask them if something is a serious injury or if he's blowing it out of proportion. they have little walkie talkies and he's like "so one of my campers just fell and twisted their ankle and its kind of puffy. do you think i should bring them to the med tent or can they walk it off?" and everyones like. DUDE WHAT THE FUCK!
richie insists on being like "roger" and "over and out" and using codenames on the walkie talkies and ben and bev and mike participate but everyone else thinks its stupid and the longer they refuse to engage the more stupid codenames richie comes up with
richie and eddie are in an ongoing prank war between their cabins. it is disastrous for everyone and everyone wants them to stop but they wont and its kind of awful but also incredibly funny
loser campfires after all the kids have gone to bed... <3

Twisted wonderland overblot hc (non-overblotters edition)
I'm less happy with these than I was with the original post lmao, especially Jade and Cater's.
Cater
So cater obviously has a social media addiction, I imagine he uses social media as an escape. He's always been in his sisters shadow, constantly bossed around and basically not having his own self. He pretends to be happy and pretends to be fine on social media, but he's not fine. He's depressed and doesn't know what he's going to do with his life because he's always had someone guiding him (wanted or not), he later extends this persona onto real life because he felt that "the people love the fake me more than the real me....". The only time he's genuinely happy is in the music club. Over time, this builds up and eventually... he overblots.
Rook
So Rook, we know him as this french fuck that's so positive and compliments like it's the last thing he'll do. But I imagine that it's a lie. All the compliments, all the things that make Rook...Rook. are a lie. He compliments everyone to be seen, he's used to being hidden, to not being noticed so he can catch his prey so he uses the overly done compliments as a cover up for his need for validation and attention. He gets so caught up in this creepy persona that it derails into him needing someone to latch onto so he can just get a visual on what he wants, eventually it becomes too much and all the need, the wants and everything Rook wanted in the beginning turns on him because he realizes that everyone just sees him really as a freak. And all that stress and fear of not getting the validation and being seen. He overblots.
Jack
Jack always wants to be better, to be the best he can be. But what if it's a cover-up for his fear of never being enough, I don't think it's ever confirmed where Jack lives, but we do know he doesn't have many friends. I assume it's because he's a big guy, and they're scared. But his younger sibling, the pups, if you will. They're little. They can be picked on. I imagine the siblings probably get bullied, and Jack defends them. Jack's fear of never being enough stems from him possibly never being enough to protect those he cares about. His admiration for Leona probably is a visual for what he wants to be, Leona protecting his team in that game is what Jack wants for the people he cares for. But wanting to protect can get too much for someone. Good things can be bad. And all this fear of protecting them and being the best so he won't disappoint anyone becomes too much. He gets too stressed... and he overblots.
Sebek
Sebek is loud. We know this, and we also know that he's loud because he absolutely adores Malleus and wants everyone to know about him, but what does this praise stem from? Let's not focus on that and instead his half-fae blood. We know he chooses to be perceived as fully fae as he deems humans "weak," but what if it's a cover-up for his shame and doubt. Shame that he is "weak" in comparison to full fae, something he (as far as i know) has only been shown with lilia and malleus, two people that had centuries to get as strong as they are and doubt because his grandfather, someone he looks up to was someone that hated humans with a passion. After a while this simply builds up, all the shame and doubt finally reaching its limit and the minute he is shown that he is enough, he is not weak, he is not any less of a fae just because of his blood. Combine those emotions with the negative ones, and it's simply too much for a body... and he overblots
Jade
Jade leech, the calculating and more secretive of the tweels. But why? Why keep such a thing as his unique magic secret? Why keep anything secret? He and floyd are described as long and scary in their merforms. And we know people who bully based on looks exist. What's to say the tweels weren't bullied because of how "scary" they are? I feel Floyd would simply brush it off, whereas it would affect jade more. Bullied to the point that he feels it would be better to keep things hidden, this only is being strengthened by Azul's behavior. After Azul's overblot, I feel like there would be a dent in their relationship with Azul, especially on jades end. It's slightly shown that azul trusts jade a bit more than floyd, so a dent in that relationship would cause an issue. And while Jade could be used to that, it can still become too much. The feeling of being locked out from one of his best friends and the after effects of seeing said friend overblot becoming too much...and he overblots.

probably a dumb thing to ask but is it true that chapter 6 has several routes???? o_o and almost a hundred battles???????
it doesn't have routes in terms of, like, alternate endings or meaningful choices or anything -- I don't know how spoilery you're good with so, uhh, erring on the side of no details, the characters split up into three groups and then there are subchapters that follow each group until they converge again. that's all!
most of the battles are from 6-66 and 6-67, and I think each group has the same amount...oh no, numbers...I think it's thirty-three minimum if you get lucky, and eighty-one max if you don't? and then adding in the other episode 6 battles, yeah, that's...probably at least a hundred. :')
66 and 67 were uniquely terrible though, for reasons that got long:
1) you had to lock in all three teams at the beginning, use them for all the battles, and couldn't change them without resetting the entire chapter and losing all your progress.
2) instead of building teams by card, they have you build by character. so you can't use multiple cards of the same character, and you can't share characters between groups. also, no guest/friend cards.
4) each group had two or three required characters, and heck you if you don't have any good cards for them. (I have no idea what it would do if you somehow didn't have any cards for them at all. if it gives you a temporary one I probably would have been better off, because I have literally no good Rook cards.)
5) it told you upfront what the boss elements were going to be, but all the other battles were just, like. whatever. so you have to build your team for the boss if you don't want to get utterly screwed, but then the other battles could still end up being a huge headache based on the type matchups.
6) that goddamn rock healing itself between turns. why. why did it heal for so much. why was that battle so hard. why did they do this to me.
so if, say, you're someone -- coughmecough -- who likes to focus on your favorite characters, and if, say, most of your good cards are of a particular wet rat dragon man and his entourage, you might be just a little bit boned THANKS TWST. I got through it eventually but oh boysie was it brutal for a game where the usual difficulty level is negligible.
tl;dr eng and newer players take heed, learn from my mistakes and try to build up halfway decent cards for more than five or six characters. (the guest room collection battles have random required characters so not a bad idea for those either.)
also...I am now very, very afraid of what buffoonery episode 7 is going to throw at us. take pity on me...please...

So I’ve got to ask, would you recommend Tokyo Revengers from your experience so far? Does the story and characters outweigh the (alleged) obnoxious currency system and money grabs?
So my gut reaction is to say no, I do not because I just cannot feel comfortable recommending this game in the state it's in, but I am going to make a pros and cons list to help maybe give you (and anyone else curious) a basic idea of where my head is at right now and help you make your own decision.
Cons
THERE ARE NO CAMPAIGN REWARDS. I cannot stress that enough there is nothing being given out to day one players to help you get started, and honestly it's super hard. Saving up for pulls feels like a foreign concept, there are so few opportunities to earn gems I have no real idea how I would even start building a stash let alone a team with the few characters I currently have. They don't give you a free SSR like twst does to help out, just the free SR from choosing your guy at the beginning though they do have a paid free SSR function. Now Twisted Wonderland does too, but like I said they give you a free one with unlimited re-rolls at the start.
Someone actually did the math about pulls and I agree with their assessment here: the cost isn't the worst I have seen in a gacha, but when you couple that with no free SSR for f2p, lack of reliable way to earn gems and I can feel it being a nightmare if the game progresses any further without a re vamp of some sort.
Tumblr media
There really is no point to the combat or team building in this game beyond being a road block between you and the story. It's full auto which could be neat if there were nice animations but there aren't. It really might as well not be there, and that's before you get to the SSR rates...
Tumblr media
Neither Pro nor Con
You might have noticed the above reddit user talking about the distinction between joseimuke vs otome and the reason for that is way back when this game was first announced it was supposed to be an otome game, which implies a level of explicit romance and relationship between the MC and the characters that is not typically present in joseimuke games. The current version of the game has a cast that seems to have completely changed, both character and voice actor wise. The stated reason for this and the delay was "changes in the market." It was originally supposed to be based off of Tokyo Ghoul? And was supposed to release in 2019, but was delayed until 2020, then put on indefinite hiatus until it's release now.
On an unrelated note, OG Obey Me! was released on December 11, 2019, Twisted Wonderland was released in Japan on March 18 2020, and Genshin Impact's world wide release was on September 28 of the same year. Make of that what you will.
"Yuri why did you bring up Obey Me?" Well Solomon's ring is introduced as a plot device... which could be interesting if they are going the direction I think they are with it but I don't know if I have enough faith in them for that.
The Pros
The characters in this game are honestly really fun. I really do mean that, I am not sold on their dorms/houses but the dynamics between the characters themselves are good for what they are. But the tone is very goofy compared to Twisted Wonderland (despite featuring more explicit topics) and I don't think these characters are as well developed as twst's are, but I think that can be chalked up to one of these games having been written by a manga author and the other having not.
I am a little bitch who hates horror stuff and is easily spooked but I really love how they are using modern internet horror monsters in this game. The first book features a creepy pasta monster that I was legitimately afraid of as a kid and I love their take on him. This second book features a ghost from a popular Japanese creepypasta. I'm a sucker for people being creative and using things that have become a part of popular culture without making it cringe, and I think this game succeeds at that.
Wrap Up
This entire situation has made me think about two animes I really like that I think sort of fall into the same dynamic as Twisted Wonderland and Tokyo Debunker. The first I am sure you have heard of, it's called Komi Can't Communicate and follows a girl with trouble communicating who really wants to make friends, and ends up accidentally befriending a guy who wants to help her out. The manga started being released in 2016 and is still going. It's quite good and I like it a lot.
The second is a little show called Aharen-san wa Hakarenai. It's manga started in 2017 and it received an anime adaptation around the same time as Komi san was being adapted. It follows a girl who has trouble communicating who really wants to make friends who accidentally befriends a guy who wants to help her out. I have no idea if Komi-san inspired Aharen-san nor do I really care because once you get past the generic set up, the routes the story takes are completely different as are the personalities of the characters. Komi is a slice of life and coming of age story in addition to a romcom, whereas Aharen is just a straight up romcom with a really cute main couple. There is room for both to exist because both stories do their own thing, just with a similar premise. There really is no reason Tokyo Debunker and Twisted Wonderland can't do the same, provided TD gives itself room to breathe and fixes it's damn grind.
Well assuming it picks up in Japan, it doesn't seem super popular over here right now.

Chapter 2: Escaped Pokemon
Masterlist
3rd POV...
“So you’re telling me that they all went through the mirror,” Yuu exclaimed into their phone. The phone that they were using⎼ courtesy of Crowley⎼ was able to take calls and messages in their world from Twisted Wonderland.
“That is precisely what I said,” Crowley huffed. He was not happy about twenty-two of his students disappearing. “Do you know if they are with you or somewhere in your world?”
“No I don’t,” Yuu sighed. “The only one with me is Grim. If the others were here, they would have made their presence known. By now Cater and Vil would be all over social media if they were here.”
“I guess I’ll have to continue my search then,” the disappointment in Crowley’s voice is prominent. “But will you let me know if they do show up in your world? There is a possibility that they are stuck in between worlds at this time.”
“That would make sense,” Yuu agrees. Yuu gets their name called by their friend and says ‘goodbye’ to Crowley as they hang up.
…… 
“So this village,” Azul breaks the silence that was around the group as they head to Jubilife Village. “What’s in it?”
“Jubilife Village, is the center of the operations for the Galaxy Expedition Team. What they do is study the Pokemon that live in this region,” Laventon explains. “For you all to seek out all Pokemon, it would be best to join the Survey Corps. They carry out the research on how Pokemon live out in the wild. In the Village, there are a number of people who do various things. Some are farmers, some can help train up Pokemon moves, some are traders, and others can give out requests for you to get more experience or items.”
“That’s really good to know,” Riddle commented. The group came to a stop once they hit a huge wooden gate with guards on each side. 
“Hello, I am back,” Laventon greeted the guards. The guards look at Laventon and the group. “Ah, with their help I was able to recapture the runaway Pokemon, so I hope you’ll forgive me for bringing them into the village for a bit!” The guards okayed it and the gate opened. Laventon and the group walked through the gate opening. The group looked around at the village.
“It’s kinda old-timey but I guess it’s not too bad,” Vil observes.
“This place is only temporary to use until we find a way back,” Malleus states. 
“This way, if you please,” Laventon instructs and begins walking further into the village. The group follows still looking around their surroundings and the locals check them out.
“Their outfits are quite strange.”
“Do you see the one with the horns?”
“What are outsiders doing here?!”
“We should keep our distance to be safe.”
“Maybe they’re new members of the Survey Corps.”
“Who’s that with the professor?”
“Oh botheration!” Laventon exclaims as he stops in front of a bridge. On the other side of the bridge was a building that was more complex and fancier than the buildings that the group had just passed. ��I’d almost forgotten! I need to go and report that we successfully recovered the escaped Pokemon! Might I ask you all to wait for me at the canteen? I should be no longer than 10 minutes. It’s the building past this bridge here, then to the left. The Wallflower is its name.”
“I don’t think this guy is good at his job,” Jade smirks. 
“We should head to The Wallflower,” Trey suggests and starts to walk to the bridge. The rest silently agree and also make their way to the bridge to cross.
“Data unlocked: Map of Jubilife Village,” Ortho reported.
“Ortho, do you think you could send the map to everyone’s phone,” Idia asked. “Well the ones that have their phone on them.”
“I can do that,” Ortho confirmed as he sent the map to everyone’s phone.
“This is useful in case any one gets separated,” Trey smiles.
“Well aren’t you all awfully suspicious,” says a guy who was in front of The Wallflower. “The Wallflower’s for Galaxy Team folk only. We don’t have seats for outsiders. Move along!”
“Huh,” Ruggie exclaimed. “We were told to come here and were promised food!”
“Sorry but can’t help you,” the guy grunted. “I suggest you get out of here though before I call the security corps.”
“Hey,” a voice from behind the group calls out. “Who are you? I’ve never seen anyone dressed like you all are. What if you were attacked by a Pokemon? You’d be minced meat in those flimsy clothes!”
“Huh,” the group was taken aback.
“If the guard let you guys through, you must have ties with someone in the village…” The voice was coming from a young girl. She was wearing a faded blue uniform paired with a red scarf and white bandana covering her hair.
“I wouldn’t say that we have ties with the man,” Jade whispered, Floyd heard him and silently cackled.
“We do know someone from here,” Rook smiled.
“Ah, perhaps you know Professor Laventon then,” the girl smiles. “He’s a scholar from a faraway place. His Pokemon do get away from him at times, though. It makes me a bit worried for him…”
“So it’s a common occurrence,” Malleus questioned.
“Yes, but I suppose I’m hardly one to talk⎼I’ve had some trouble with Pokemon myself,” the girl sighs. “I was hit by a Pokemon move called Thunder Shock not long ago and had to be bedridden for a bit. But the professor… well… I do wonder how long he’ll last.”
“Unfortunately it’s just as Akari says…” a voice comes up behind the girl. The group looks past the girl to see Laventon approach. “I’m a clumsy sort of fellow, to put it mildly!”
“Professor,” Akari exclaims in shock as she turns to face the professor. 
“But everything will be quite all right now,” Laventon says as he moves to be closer to the group. Cater and Trey take a moment to look at each other before Trey shakes his head. “You guys have agreed to help us with our Pokedex!”
“Excuse me?” Akari takes a glance at the group before turning her attention to the professor again. “You plan to appoint these guys to the Survey Corps?”
“What’s so wrong with helping out,” Ace frowned.
“You can’t just slap a badge on whoever you like without Captain Cyllene’s permission,” Akari ignored Ace’s comment.
“I’ll allow it,” a new voice states. A woman approaches the group. She has short blue hair, and is wearing similar attire to Akari. 
“Captain Cyllene,” Akari exclaims.
“Assuming the individuals can contribute to the Survey Corps, that is,” the woman adds. “I am the captain of the Galaxy Team’s Survey Corps. You may call me Cyllene. Professor Laventon has told me how you all helped secure his Pokemon when they slipped his control. And now it seems he would like us to feed and house you in exchange for your ongoing labor. Looking at you all, you seem to be around the same age. A group of young adults… A good age to work for your keep, and to keep the village lively enough. But we can’t simply take on strangers who wander in among us, without any idea of their skills or origins.”
“We do know where we⎼” Leona puts a hand over Deuce’s mouth to keep him from finishing his sentence.
“We can’t let them know that we are from Twisted Wonderland,” Leona whisper’s to Deuce. “We need to obtain information, not give it out.”
“Right, sorry,” Deuce apologizes when Leona releases him.
“Tomorrow we shall see if you can prove yourself worthy,” Cyllene continues as if she didn’t hear Deuce.
“A most reasonable decision, Captain,” Laventon praises. “Now, would you care to join us for a meal? I’m sure you’ve got plenty of questions for our visitors!”
“That’s quite alright,” Cyllene declines the invitation. “I prefer to eat alone so I might appreciate my meals without distractions.” Cyllene walks into The Wallflower to get her meal.
“Aloof as always, I see,” Laventon watches Cyllene’s departure. Laventon turns back to the group. “Well, no matter! The rest of us can share a meal and some pleasant conversation, then. Beni, old chum! The usual potato mochi, if you please⎼but make it for twenty-four today!”
“Do they not have meat,” Leona growls as they enter The Wallflower.
“Now’s not the time to be picky,” Ruggie sighs. Once everyone is in the Wallflower, they break into groups. The dorm leaders sit with Laventon and Akari. The first years sit at the table next to them. On the other side of the dorm leader’s table sat Silver, Ruggie, Rook, and Lilia. The rest of the group: Jade, Floyd, Trey, Cater, and Jamil took seats at a table behind the dorm leader’s table.
“Wonderful stuff, Beni,” Laventon complimented as Beni brought out. “Much obliged. Your potato mochi never fails to please!” Beni placed all the food on the four tables, nodded his head in acknowledgement to Laventon’s compliment and left.
“Professor Laventon, where exactly did you meet our… visitors here,” Akari asked. She was seated right next to Laventon. Leona was sitting right in front of Akari and was looking at the food curiously.
“It’s just food Leona,” Vil commented from the other side of Riddle. Riddle was in between Leona and Vil, peacefully eating the food.
“I didn’t ask for your opinion, Vil,” Leona sneered, he then made himself a plate and started eating.
“Ah, well, you know of that great hole in the sky? The one people call the space-time rift? Our new friends fell right out of it,” Laventon explained.
“You can’t be serious,” Akari side-eyed Laventon. Laventon nodded his head in confirmation.
“Come now⎼I am a scientist,” Laventon tried to defend himself. “My job is to observe and explain any and all phenomena. I concern myself only with facts! Now, you already know there are many Pokemon here in the Hisui region…”
“That there are⎼in the grass, in forests, by water, or wherever they like,” Akari adds. “Our job as the Survey Corps is to research them and find out what kind of creatures they are!”
“Well, we know this much…” Laventon pauses for dramatic effect. “Pokemon are terrifying creatures!”
“I doubt they are that terrifying,” Azul interrupted. He was seated right beside Vil with Idia on Azul’s other side.
“It’s all but impossible to know what kinds of powers they might possess or what sorts of wondrous things they can do!” Laventon carried on. “But that’s where our new friends come in! They successfully caught three Pokemon! Three of them in quick order, you understand!” 
“It wasn’t that big of a deal,” Idia muttered as he ate his food. Across from him sat Kalim. Next to Kalim was Malleus, then the ‘Professor’ and Akari.
“Nobody in the Galaxy Team is capable of a feat such as that,” Laventon continued. “This means we can finally begin our Pokemon research in earnest!”
“Man, this place seems kind of pathetic,” Ace comments from the table he was sitting at. He was at one end of the table with Deuce on the other end and Epel in the middle of them. Across from them Jack sat in front of Ace, Sebek in front of Epel, and Ortho in front of Deuce.
“If these beasts called Pokemon are as fear inducing as Laventon says then I must protect Wakasama from them,” Sebek exclaimed mid-chew. Lilia sighed from the table on the other side of the dorm leaders. Lilia sat next to Rook, and across from Ruggie. Silver was seated next to Ruggie.
“I certainly can’t wait to meet more of these Pokemon,” Rook smirked. Ruggie tried to ignore Rook out of his own discomfort and focused on his food.
“Three?! We have a hard enough time catching even one when wild Pokemon come after us…” Akari states in disbelief.
“Ah, well, to be perfectly fair, the Pokemon that fled to the beach weren’t on the attack,” Laventon admitted. “But the key to catching Pokemon is getting close enough to aim your Poke Ball well. And it seems our new friends are fearless enough to do just that!”
“Does the Survey Corps really have the leeway to be enjoying a leisurely meal with these outsiders,” Beni’s voice came over the conversation as he approached the seated group. “Your captain just ordered 10 whole portions of potato mochi, you know. The slow progress on that Pokedex of yours clearly has her on edge.”
“I’m sure we’ll start to rein in the good captain’s stress eating soon enough,” Laventon smiled with confidence. “Now have your fill, new friends. And think, if you make it into the Galaxy Team, you’ll never have to worry about a meal again. The team provides for all its members’ needs⎼ even if said members fell out of the sky!”
After that statement, Beni went back to the kitchen area, not bothering the group for the rest of the meal. The group was having small conversations about what was to become of them in the future by being in this world. Some questioned if time back in Twisted Wonderland was still moving forward, some worried about their families, some questioned if Crowley even noticed their disappearance, and some wondered how Yuu was doing and where Grim was. Soon the meal was finished and they brought their dishes to Beni and left The Wallflower.
“That was quite delicious! Quite delicious indeed,” Laventon praised as the group stood outside. The sun had gone down and it was now early night.
“Yes, the food was lovely,” Akari agreed with Laventon. “But more importantly… you do remember that these guys have a trial to pass to join the Survey Corps, don’t you?”
“Not to worry! I have complete confidence in their skills,” Laventon waved off Akari’s concerns for tomorrow’s trial.
“Let’s hope it is not misplaced,” Cyllene approached the group. “Newcomers, for tonight, at least, we will provide you with a place to sleep. You may use a few of our quarters over there. But if you fail to pass the trial we have you do tomorrow, you must move on. You will be expelled from the village to meet you fate⎼and perhaps even your death⎼in the wilds.”
“Captain Cyllene is somewhat like Hisui, in that they’re both quite harsh,” Akari says once Cyllene was out of ear shot.
“Now now, she simply puts on a stern front to help keep us all safe,” Laventon reprimanded Akari. “At any rate, I think it’s time we turned in for the night, eh? It’s a good thing one can’t call out of the futons we sleep in here⎼I imagine our new friends have had enough falling for one day! And with that, I bid you both a good night!”
“Yes, good night,” Akari wishes the group ‘good night’ and leaves to catch up with Laventon. Rook, the beastmen, and the faes catch Akari mumbling to herself: “A rift in the sky… People falling from it… The world is full of mysteries.”
“Alright, how should we separate into groups for the night,” Trey breaks the brief silence. 
“I think we should do it by dorm,” Vil suggested. 
“How about we pick our own groups,” Leona countered, not wanting to be with his dorm mates. The group separated into different smaller groups and went into their temporary quarters for the night.

The Lord of The Underworld and His Lady of Spring Part 1
In this story for the HPHM x Twisted Wonderland AU, Vil, Rook, Epel, Deuce, Ace, Asteria, Jamil, Kalim and Helena are talking about their recent performance at a competition and their shortcomings due to be tired from dealing with an overblot in the midst of it. However as things start to look for the better, even with Grim’s location unknown to the girls temporarily, they turn south faster than one could imagine.
Asteria belongs to @princess-of-pearls-and-stars while Helena belongs to me. These stories are Inspired by Chapters 8, 9, and 10 of Book 6

One minute, they were talking about their recent concert appearance and shortcomings. The next, Ramshackle shook in a way that Helena and Asteria were both convinced the old and archaic building was going to collapse. It had been abandoned for years after all and was a wreck when they first moved in.
Epel was the first to bring the suspicions everyone was thinking into words, “Was that an earthquake?”
Rook looked out the window in an attentive way just like a hunter, and his eyes widened when he found his target. “No it isn’t, look out the window.”
Kalim rushed over to the window and followed Rook’s eyes towards the sky with his own, “What in the world!? There’s a bunch of guys flying through the air! Are they on hoverboards.”
“Technology like that means it might be related to Ignihyde.” Asteria did her best to remain calm.
“I’ve been to Ignihyde many times to watch animes with Idia.” Helena reminded her sister, “And while I believe they have a handful of these hoverboard things, it’s certainly not that many. And those don’t even look like students.”
“That’s not possible…” Vil breathed, not really paying attention to the girl’s words it seemed not that it mattered all that much. “This school has a magical barrier to keep out intruders. And it is always up as long as we don’t have a special event going on.”
“Maybe that sound was the barrier getting breached!” Jamil theorized.
“But how?” Vil reminded him, “It is complex magic.”
“Some are coming this way!” Rook called out to alert the group, “Let’s see there is one, two-!?” He then did a 180 degree turn and faced the group, “EVERYONE GET DOWN!”
Large sounds followed as figures crashed into the structure of Ramshackle. Soon enough they were all on the floor trying to get cover. Helena barely even noticed Asteria’s protective arm around them.
“Asteria! Helena!” Deuce called out first, rushing over. “Are you both ok?”
“I-“ Helena was about to respond before she was silenced by the sight in front of her. There were at least three guard looking figures in some sort of technologically advanced armor. It was a metallic grey with a couple of its accents being a glowing blue. They appeared to be quite hostile and heartless, nothing like Ortho, well, at least when he wasn’t trying to shoot the school down with a laser beam to save Idia from a crazy ghost bride that is.
Once they regained their footing, Jamil jumped in front of his Housewarden, “Kalim get back!” He firmly instructed as he looked at the guards the same way Helena did. “I’ve never seen that kind of gear before…” He muttered to himself, although Helena could just barely hear his words and assumed others could as well to some extent.
“Hepta team coming in.” One of the mysterious intruders started, seemingly alerting their master of a discovery, “We’ve got visuals on subjects D, E, and G. Moving in for capture.”
“I haven’t the faintest idea who these people are.” Vil began as he tried to examine the guards from a distance, “but crashing through windows shows an appalling lack of manners.” He turned to the rest of the group with a firm expression, “I hereby declare this an emergency! By my authority as Pomefiore Housewarden, I authorize the use of magic on the intruders!”
“Oui!” Rook seconded as the vice housewarden.
“I do the same for Scarabia!” Kalim mustered in his most authoritative voice. “Prepare for battle!”
Vil’s eyes turned to Deuce, Ace, Epel, Asteria, and Helena, “Freshmen, stay back, and do not get involved for your own safety. Heartslabyul students, call your Housewarden!”
“Yes sir!” Deuce, Ace, Epel, and Helena said in unison, however Helena could see out of the corner of her eye that Asteria was frustrated by sitting on the sidelines. But surely she knew that their magic only seemed to work half the time in this world, right?
The same robotic guard spoke again, “Subjects D and E exhibiting hostility, Subject G showing signs of retreating. Requesting permission to engage.”
“Permission granted.” A voice over the robots intercom sounded. “Execute capture plan C”
~~~
“They’re all struggling…” Epel observed as the battle commenced.
“Those oar-looking staffs can churn out spells real quick!” Deuce pointed out with a great amount of perception.
“AUGH!” Vil exclaimed as said oar-looking staff-thing shot another intense concentration of magic.
“VIL!” Rook called out as Vil collapsed on the ground, and by the looks of it, also lost consciousness.
“Subject E is subdued.” The robotic guard sounded. “Securing now.”
“GAHHH!” Jamil screamed out as the same thing that happened to Vil moments ago occurred to him as well.
“JAMIL!” Kalim panicked.
“We have also secured Subject D, all that is left is Subject G.” The robotic guard informed its instructor or head of operations Helena theorized. “Tetra team has already captured Subject F.
Once the last capture is complete we will rendezvous then return to HQ.”
“Where are you taking them!” Kalim frantically requested, “WAIT!”
“Whoa…” Ace breathed, “The housewardens and vice housewardens went down in seconds.”
“And it’s not over yet…” Asteria pointed out, “They were talking about a Subject G, perhaps that’s Kalim or Rook? But why did they stop if that’s the case?”
“didn’t they say that ‘Subject G’ was retreating? If we assume it is someone in here then it has to be one of us.” Deuce determined.
“But who would that be?” Epel pondered.
“Heck if any of us know.” Helena snapped. “We should just stay low.”
“Tetra team has regrouped with Hepta Team.” The intruders sounded again.
“What in Tarnation!” Epel exclaimed again as he looked up, “They are hauling a cage. Wait… ain’t that…”
“LEMME OUT! GET ME OUT OF HERE!”
Helena and Asteria recognized the voice even before they saw who it came from. As they looked simultaneously through the rubble and dense amounts of people. They spotted Grim, being carried in a cage with tight bars as he attempted to escape his prison. How did he end up in such a predicament after the Shrouds helped with retrieving him earlier?
“GRIM!?” Asteria called out frantically.
“Ace! Asteria! Helena! Deuce!” Grim cried out.
“We need to stop them!” Epel got on his feet, “Come on, I ain’t doing this on my own am I?”
“Right!” Deuce agreed, “Hold on Grim! I’ll save you!”
“Dude, Vil just told us to stay back.” Ace tried to remind them, “Helena has a point you know, if we fight we will loose, we should just stay low, and come up with a plan when we can have, no offense, a stronger team?”
“Don’t be such a coward!” Asteria quickly got on her feet pulling out her wand, with Helena reluctantly following suit.
“OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!” Ace pleaded, but presumed he had no choice.
~~~
Asteria noted how the battle was practically over before it started, and somehow ending up as the last to emerge in their line of fighters despite Ace and Helena’s initial reluctance. She couldn’t doubt that it was a disturbing sight to behold.
“Argh.” Ace mumbled mindlessly. “Didn’t stand… a chance… urgh.”
“Urgh guh…” Deuce moaned.
“Dagnabbit.” Epel muttered.
Yet the only voice Asteria didn’t manage to hear, even in a soft tone, was that of her own sister. Her eyes frantically scanned the room and eventually spotted her figure. And panicked when she saw her sister not moving.
“HELENA!” Asteria frantically called out, trying to rush to her but the robotic guards beat her to it, taking her sister.
“Subject G is secured.” The robotic man sounded, “Reporting Back to HQ.”
“Lemme Go!” Grim pleaded, “I don’t want to go! Asteria!!!” He called as his paw reached out to her.
“GRIM! HELENA!” Asteria called out, practically screaming as they were taken away.
“VIL! JAMIL!” Rook and Kalim did the same in nearly identical tones to Asteria.
Rook growled then did a few meditative breaths before turning to Scarabia’s Housewarden, “Kalim, we must tend to our injured freshmen. I will take them to the infirmary.”
“But Jamil…” Kalim stammered, “Jamil’s been…”
“KALIM.” Rook asserted to get his attention. “You must calm yourself. Jamil has been abducted. You need to step up and fulfill your Housewarden duties by yourself.”
Kalim only reluctantly sighed, however it seemed to be more out of concern for Jamil than the idea of added rightful responsibility, “All right, I’ll go summon the other house “wardens.”
Ace grunted again, “…didn’t pick up…”
Asteria rushed to Ace’s side, his mumbling did not sound promising, nor did his grunting. And he seemed to be wincing from pain.
“Huh?” Rook raised an eyebrow.
Ace attempted to speak again, wincing against the pain as Asteria looked at him with widened eyes trying to tend to him and Deuce the best she could, at least Epel seemed to be in a better state, although that wasn’t saying much. “Called…Housewarden Riddle…but he didn’t…pick up…”
“Oh no!” Kalim exclaimed as realization hit his features and he turned to Rook, “Do you think?”
“There is a likely chance.” Rook determined, “We don’t have much time, we must warn whoever we can.”
