001 | ❝What I really need is a spell to cast...❞

[destinedwaters]

Who: Aqua and YOU...
Where: Pisces Apartments.
Summary: A Scorpio native tried to attack her, she did what any reasonable Aquarius would do in the circumstances.
Warnings: Magic, perma-Fear status, Persona awakenings and things/people flying out windows..........

Somehow, and she has no idea how, but all the scorpions for the most part she could just sense. It was weird, and even stronger than her own sensing of light and darkness. She wasn't sure whether to be afraid of it or not, but she was terrified of the things she could sense... and the other people who were acting s-strangely...

But she was a Keyblade Master and part of the night guard. She has to be out there, helping. Yet she was too scared to even leave the apartments...

That's when one of those with the strange eyes started coming for her and she found herself paralyzed in fear as she curled up there in the corner. She'd never seen them before except maybe a quick glance around town somewhere when she'd quietly gone for supplies, but she couldn't help the muted scream as they got closer.

'Help me-!'

In hindsight, she will likely smack herself on the forehead for letting fear and paranoia grip her so tightly, but that's when she opens her eyes in surprise. Right there in front of her was a water nymph, waving her hand once even though as she floated there, it was like her entire being was in water... It was so beautiful that for a split second, the fear didn't register with her mind.

'I am thou...'

"Eudora..."

But that Muzzle Shot didn't deter the native Scorpio for long. They were approaching her yet again, and with another scream, there was a brief burst of gold light, a matching magical golden lasso, and oooout the window the masked local went! Oops?

She didn't care. All she knew was she could help somehow and even if she was afraid, there were people here she needed to make sure they were okay.

Even though all she wanted to do was...curl up in the corner...

...

Okay yeah those scorpions are terrifying, after all. Some of them may just be finding themselves on fire. If she can stop shaking long enough to use enough Fire spells to go into Firestorm. If not, she is just going to hide in the corner of the pool area. Nope! Nothing to see here, folks! That toooootally isn't broken glass from a window or anything. Ha ha... ha...

She misses her deceased Master so much right now.

Xion was already on her way out, to be sure. The announcement about her floor had been reason enough. She'd been hoping to make it outside, to some sort of defensible position, but those screams were... pretty attention-catching.

Xion sprinted into the pool area, coat on and ready for... anything, when she spotted someone familiar hudding in a corner, surrounded by scorpions.

"Aqua!"

She raised a hand, gathering the energy for Firaga spell, which burst from her fingertips, hurtled towards the scorpion and exploded on contact, taking out a few, not to mention attracting their attention.

A large group of scorpions moved in unison. As it grew closer, they scuttled away, revealing a man, his expression distorted into a twisted grin, eyes yellow from the tell-tale infection.

"Are you scared, Chica?" he asked. "Perhaps Michel should teach you a thing or two..."

[nofairy]

He had to help people. He just kept that in mind, despite the fact that he was absolutely terrified and just wanted to go home. But he could do this. He could -

... did someone just go out the window?

Link headed over to investigate, and spotted someone trying to approach a young woman. He summoned Epona, and blasted them with a Hama spell. The person fell to the ground, and he rushed over towards her.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Riku... is not entirely sure what has been going on the last few days, though he hasn't had much time to ask questions in between helping out the local people with their scorpion troubles (and trying to calm down some of the strangely very panicky ones) and keeping himself clear from those troubles (Esuna has come very handy so far).

He had kind of hoped to catch a break once back at the apartment building, but it's almost as bad here as it is outs-

That's when he senses it, that familiar light and a strange twist of Darkness clinging to it - fear?! - and he doesn't even think twice about storming out towards the pool area and pushing himself upwards, gathering magic to unleash Meteor Crash upon the scorpions (and maybe cause some property damage).

Keybitty's not so bitty anymore, isn't he?
