⇨ DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS
Who: Anyone out in the library.
When: Day 59
Where: The Athenaeum
What: Towards the end of the visit, we are visited by a series of worrisome NPCs, who may or may not be illusions. There will be at least 5 NPC toplevels posted overall, all happening in a similar time period ICly (in rough chronological order), so not everyone needs to be in every thread.
Warnings: Possibility of very real danger to anyone who participates. Remember that Sans has told everyone to travel in groups, so if you aren't, you'll probably get a scolding later.

TURNING THE PAGE↴ As the carnival continues to explore the Athenaeum in the pursuit of more information about the legendary Miracles, the tension is thick with the knowledge that the Summer Court could be in pursuit any day now. On Day 59, a series of threatening encounters will begin manifesting - but are they real, or an illusion? |

And then looks down at his ring, confused. "Huh? You want me to punch the wall?" He's not sure how useful it is for successive punches, but he doesn't want to leave them to do all the work. And it is a magic ring.
So he slams his fist against the wall, cringing as the impact goes back through his arm. Thankfully, that's about when Sans shows up so instead of continues to fruitlessly smack on it, he stops and peeks up at him through the cages. He recognizes him like this, from the breaking balcony. "Sans!"

Aggravated, she jumps right back into the escape effort without responding; with fire-breathing off the table, she focuses instead on slamming into the wall at full force with her horns, and slashing at the crack with those heated claws again. Her pace is just as frenzied as before, but with even more anger behind it now. She's so focused on her efforts, she doesn't even notice Sans approaching until Yuya says something.
Split-second kneejerk instinct upon seeing the Warden in that form has Peridot thinking that things are about to get so much worse, because the last time she saw that skeleton beast was during one of the most traumatic incidents of her time at the carnival. Of course, Sans isn't brainwashed anymore (she assumes,) so the fear is short lived.
"Quit staring and teleport us out of her already you idiot!" Peridot snaps at him, lashing her tail like an angry cat.
no subject
There's no continuing that statement-it's about when Sans arrives, and so Gongenzaka stares, watching as the skeleton inspects the dome. "He may be unable to," he notes to Peridot, crossing his arms. "This is already rather obviously 'magical' ice..! Unless you feel your flames should not have simply melted a hole earlier? We are making progress," he notes, bracing to make another repulsor-charged slam, "But counting on that may be unwise..!"
He's going to feel super dumb if teleporting works by the way Sans. Super Dumb.

He can already see the beginning of a crack from Peridot's claws. He'd use his breath weapon, but he's got the same problem she does - he doesn't want to toast everyone inside by accident. Sans tries putting his massive jaws around the ice to crunch it, and when he can't quite get purchase, he takes a few steps back.
Giving himself some physical momentum, he swings his tail at the ice full force. Slivers of ice shatter from its surface, and the crack widens. So, naturally, he does it a few more times as Peridot works.
no subject
He moves as best as he can in the crowd to stay out of the way of Sans and Periot and Gongenzaka chipping them free.
no subject
Peridot continues her assault from the inside with a single-minded determination, aiming for more or less the same spot that Sans and Gon are aiming. Her talons are aching, but she refuses to slow down, because each second that passes is another second where her friends are out there in danger somewhere.
It takes what feels like ages, but a gap does start to form in the wall. The second she spots this, Peridot leaves off to take a step back, and shouts, "OUT OF MY WAY!"
That's all the warning anyone else is getting before she charges at it one last time with her horns at ramming speed. She recoils backwards from the blow, but the impact is enough: The remaining layer of ice cracks and then shatters, leaving a sizable hole in one side of the dome.
no subject
Let's move it people!
Even. If they don't know. Where to go.(Well he Could try that soul tracking deal once they're out, he supposes...)
no subject
"No," he rumbles. "We go back to the carnival. Now."
no subject
He won't take either side of the argument, having reasons to agree with both. But there's still clear worry in his face regardless. "Everyone is, right?"
no subject
At first, it looks like she's walking out to join the discussion like a sensible, level-headed person might. The hole is a little bit too small to be comfortable for a dragon to fit through, but she makes it work with some effort, tucking her wings in tight and wriggling through the gap.
The reason why she doesn't just change back into her regular smaller form in order to get free becomes clear soon enough. The moment she's out from the ice cage, she goes from zero to twenty in the blink of an eye, whirling around and using her claws to bound up the side of the dome, hoping to get high enough to where she can, hopefully, be out of Sans' immediate reach. Barring any interference, she'll take off and ditch the whole group.
She is not going back to the carnival without Lapis and Steven.

He slumps even closer to the floor, his mental exhaustion apparent. Blue and gold flames lick at his teeth as he lets out a sigh big enough to make your hair ruffle.
"Of course," he growls, as Roman whimpers and prods his face with its nose. "No prob, buddy. Any time."
no subject
"Mng- AUUH-!! PERIDOT!!"
DAMMIT STOP FLYING AWAY- (aaaaand she's gone.)
"...I, the man Gongenzaka...suppose it is the three of us, then..."
Though, one off on their own, especially... "....One hopes she will be able to clear her head before encountering anything, given her frustrated state..."
...especially with a laser-guided focus...
no subject
Yuya surges forward, hand outstretched, but he stops when he knows he has no chance of catching up. Instead he looks at Sans with concern. He doesn't have to say how dangerous running off alone right now is.
"I... we can go back to the carnival, but Peridot shouldn't be alone."
