LIED. I need him. I NEEED HIM. And I want an official translation so bad. She’s living my dream that should be MEEEEEEE

[sukimas]

alice having a spell called "hanged hourai dolls" is really funny, conceptually. who wrote down the events of dolls in pseudo paradise for her to come up with them. why'd she choose "hourai" rather than "gensoukyou". hourai is not associated with hanging normally!

Deltarune: Fool's Fate Chapter 1 Shopkeep

Okay so this should be the last important character ref for Chapter 1, aka the Attic World. (i need a better name for this Dark World.) After this my plan is to post the minor characters like enemies, NPCs, and Minibosses but once those are out, I'm not sure what to start on next. I have many things I could work on, it's just a matter of choosing. Thus why shortly after posting this, I'll be putting up a poll. Anyways! Onto Jeanie!

The shopkeep of the first area, aka the Dusty Plains, Jeanie (like the spirit) is a mystic snake who lives alone in her tent and tells the fortunes of whoever enters. If we're to think in terms of mapping parts of the Attic World to Chapter 1 of Deltarune proper, imagine Jeanie as the Seam of the chapter. Some of her dialogue even makes mention to the cat plush, even though the two have never met proper.

Her name is a play on "genie", being said the same, just spelled differently, and tying to her mystic, fortune-teller vibe and occupation. As for inspiration, asides from taking on the appearance of a hooded cobra (a lot of the Attic World has some snake ties because of Broadway), Jeanie is an old fortune telling machine. I'm not sure if she's the full machine, or just a part of it, but that is her Light World counterpart. Her connection to tarot cards is likely due to the machine incorporating them into it's gimmick.

Being the first shopkeep, Jeanie's wares are rather basic. A healing item found a few times prior to meeting her, aka the Fortune Cookie, a stronger healing item in the Stitched Stew, a basic armor in the Crystal Lace, and a weapon for Chicago in the Fortune Cutters. I have descriptions for each of those items incase anyone's interested.

For a better look at her character, here's a quote from her shop dialogue when you ask Jeanie about herself.

"The name is Jeanie, like the spirit. Mystical Serpent of Mystery. This tent is my where I sell mystical charms and read palms, paws, and tails. I've seen quite a lot in my time telling fortunes. The past, the present... Perhaps even the future. Hee hee hee..."

Aside from asking about herself, during their first encounter with Jeanie, the player would be able to ask Jeanie about the Magician, ask for a Card Reading, or ask Jeanie how she was expecting the party based on her shop enter dialogue (depicted in the image above). Some of her dialogue will change later in the chapter, mostly after running into her a second time in the second area (the Feathered Forest) or once encountering Dorothy (the secret boss) both before and after fighting her. Under the cut is a list of what Jeanie has to say in her talk options.

You were expecting us?

"Legends have spread far and wide of Lightners who will come to seal fountains. Three legendary heroes who will save both light and dark from calamity. More recently, there have been tales and rumors among the Upper Choir of three young heroes destined to replace the Blue Knight and dethrone the High Priestess.

Call it premotion, call it fate, if you will... I simply call it inevitable that we would meet."

The Magician?

"Hmm? I'm afraid I do not know of the cat you speak off." She grins "Hee hee hee. Just kidding. You mean Magico, correct? He is quite the trickster, isn't he? I heard he's been trying capture the Lightners who've come to seal the Fountain. All in the name of the High Priestess. He wasn't always under her reign. None of us were. Our land did not have a singular, set ruler until recently. We were ruled by a collective choir. Until one day, a mysterious knight appeared, and appointed the highest Choir member, the Priestess, into power. After which, she appointed Magico the Head Magician and her right hand. It's been quite some time since this land has seen such upset in the Choir. Not since... Well, perhaps it's better you not learn of that just yet."

Card Reading (Beginning of Chapter, before Broadway joins party)

"The Fool, The Magician, and The High Priestess. It seems your journey is just beginning, young heroes. Yet I sense great potiental and power shining within you. Perhaps such potential will aid you in the facing the powers and entities yet unknown. Even still, buying a small protection charm wouldn't hurt."

Reading (Encountering Jeanie outside of her shop in Feathered Forest with Broadway)

"I left my cards back at my tent, but I can still read your fate through the vibrations of your soul. Hmm... Interesting. I sense a lack of control. A slipping of string. Perhaps brought on by someone close to you interfering with your prior norm? ... I suggest you talk things out with them, young hero."

Card Reading (Back tracking after CK and Remie re-join the party again but before the Chapel)

"Three of Cups, Eight of Swords, and Five of Wands. It seems the rest of your party has returned to you. Though you've been apart for a time, it's important to remember the value of working as a team. Especially since a great challenge still awaits you all on the path ahead. The Chapel and Priestess still lie ahead, young heroes. Be weary not to let your own ambition and feelings get in the way of your collective goal."

Card Reading (Back tracking after entering the Choral Chapel)

"The High Priestess, reversed Nine of Swords, and Nine of Wands. It seems the final leg of this journey lays before you, young ones. Soon you shall duel with the Priestess to end her tyrannical reign. Bringing a new light to this land. However such a battle can wait for a little while. Your adventure has been long and tiring, has it not? Why not take a short rest? I can make some tea and read the leaves before you must set off once more."

Odd Doll (After first talking to Dorothy)

"I sense you three have come across a strange presence oddly familiar but which you've never known. A strange prisoner whom speaks in stitched together tongue? ... So I see. Seems the Magician couldn't hide her from all eyes forever. ... I see many paths if you chose to go down this route more, yet oddly enough... The one in which you try and release her holds the most promise. It would not be my personal advice but... The stars have yet to steer me wrong yet. Perhaps dealing with the doll once and for all will yield a brighter future for everyone. ... Perhaps it was wrong to lock her away to begin with. A key? I do not hold it, but I have a sense as to were the Magician hid it. Hidden among the trees, in the thicket of the dark. You'll find the path you seek, if you chose to take the lark. That's all the advice I can give, so I would advise turning to the Magician if you get stuck further. I wish you luck on your journey, young ones, and my the stars guide your path."

"Gate blocking your path? As I said, I can offer no more advise. Perhaps seek the Magician for assistance."

Odd Doll (After opening Dorothy's cell)

"So you say you've opened the door? That explains the wrathful energy I feel far away..." I'm afraid can't see where your future leads from here. Do tell me how this plays out, if you can. Or don't. I merely predict your path, only you can decide it."

About DOROTHY (After defeating Dorothy)

"Judgment, Reversed six of wands, and The Chariot. I may not have known that doll for long, but I knew her cards, her fate, the path the stars laid out for her. Or perhaps the path she forged herself… Once she was nothing more than a blank doll. No face, no name, no path. She was a fool just as you are. Yet one day, she came across a strange someone and it seemed her stars had finally aligned. She had been gifted an identity and purpose from some higher power, she said. To this day, I still don't quite understand what she meant by that. Rambling on about the Truth, or our purpose, of creating our own stars…Yet I didn't NOT understand at the same time… At some point she was let into the Upper Choir, but even they eventually grew annoyed with her ramblings. And so they cast her out. Exiled her back to these dust ridden plains. She grew enraged, filled with an anger and hatred for all that betrayed her. She had to be locked away before she could hurt anyone else. It shames me that I had to be the one to call the guard… Ever since, I've mulled over the cards and stars, seeking answers to what she said. Yet the skies shone dark and the cards even darker. The only thing I've come back with are more questions than when I started. It makes one wonder…How much of the universe and fate can be understood and predicated… And how much can only be navigated by the blind?"

We Won (After defeating Dorothy)

"The six of wands, the Tower, and the Devil. So, it is true? You really defeated her? Then you three truly must be the heroes of legend after all… However be warned, DOROTHY is merely the first step in your fool's journey. There is still a long way to go, and many more obstacles to face. And one day soon… even the most darkest evil of all. Hee hee hee… Well, I can only wish you luck. Perhaps once you reach that point You can come back here and I shall read your scattered destiny once more."

DELTARUNE; Gargy's Fairytale Theory

So, lately I've kind of had an itch in the back of my mind about DELTARUNE, more specifically the secret or hidden bosses in the game and a little correlation they all share. I'll try to keep this under 100 pages but i promise nothing (tee hee hee)

If you've played the game to the extent you're looking at a tumblr blog dedicated to it, you're probably familiar with the character's jevil and spamton. These are the two characters coined by the community as "secret bosses", since you have to stray away from the games intended path to find them (in most cases.)

When you defeat spamton in his 'NEO form', a neat little song will play with his dialogue "a real boy!", this is a nod to the fable/fairytale "pinochio" I'm sure everyone's familiar with. It's a story about a doll that comes to life in search of becoming 'a real boy'. This corrilation made me realize there are A LOT of similarity's between pinochio and spamton. The strings, his regular form being a mockup of a doll, even his goal to become "big", its almost like becoming a 'real boy'. He knows he's not 'real', and just like at the end of pinochio, he too becomes renewed (reneo'd).

This made me wonder if the other secret boss, Jevil, represented something other than the Joker card. Then I realized whenever he was hit in his fat empty head it actually sprung out like a jack-in-the-box. I initially discarded this since it wasn't really a fable or fairy-tale, but if you do some digging you'll find it actually is!!!@! back in the 1400's somewhat, the jack in the box was originally named 'The Devil in the Box', essentially it's a story about a man who trapped a devil in a boot in order to save a village in france at the time, kinda like that one story about the court jester who got locked away by his magician friend in order to save their kingdom (haha. hahahahha. thats from deltarune. hahaha.) just to run home my point, jack-in-the-box; Devil in the box. Jack; Devil. What way could you fuse them together? Dack? Jackil? maybe some other 3rd way that has some importance to Yea thats right you know you've always known its Jevil.

Obviously, in deltarune fashion, its easy to overthink most elements in the story. Granted, toby will make an entire 2nd game about a hypothetical character you've never met but no you've only ever POSSIBLY met through a 1/100 chance door where he'll show you his asshole and then disappear into a million pieces, but yea, it's easy to make certain correlations that aren't even really there. In this case however I'd say that there's one more correlation that seals the deal that makes this theory WORTH theorizing.

Yea gaster. even though he's not even technically a character yet, every piece of information regarding him seems to lead people to believe he's not only the narrator at the beginning of the game, but he's also the 'man' behind the tree (since the way you find 'his sprite' in undertale is almost exactly similar ['theres a room in-between, theres a room, in-between']). I'm assuming you know what there is to know about gaster so im not gonna go into it, so onto the correlation.

I've read before someone talking about how gaster represents easter eggs in video games, not only physically (egghead) but metaphorically (the way you find him, his implied involvment with the secret bosses, the fact he gives you an '''''EGG''''' when you DO find him). Well if he is technically involved with the secret bosses, wouldn't that make him a fable too? I'm here to tell you he is. he is HUMPTY DUMPTY from SECOND GRADE FAIRY TALE PLAY.

I've already gone over his physical and metaphorical symbolism relating to eggs, but the story of humpty dumpty is also very, haha, hahahaha, hahahhahahaha

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall (The Core)

Humpty dumpty took a big fall ("Fell into his own creation")

All the kings horses and all the kings men (Who did gaster work for again?)

Couldn't put Humpty together again ("He was shattered across time and space")

What could this mean? for the future it means that if this theory is right, EVERY secret boss we meet is gonna represent not only a lightworld object, but an actual FAIRTY TALE, a FABLE. I mean, how many fables are out there. I know theres one in particular, one that the game is named after, one that has to do with an ANGEL. an ''''ANGEL'''' with ''''TATTERED WINGS''''''.

but then again idk

EDIT: ALSO LITTLE MISS MUFFET THINK ABOUT THAT UNDER-HEADS LITTLE MISS MUFFET SAT ON HER TUFFET

Last edit: also this has no grounds as an actual theory but uhhh that mf that made the Undertale RED boss fight got hired on the team. Huh. I wonder what Red was a reference to. Huh.

Your magician's road trip au is so funny hdbfhdjd I love the idea that all of the magicians, and ONLY the magicians with personas just. Became Animals. What even is the explanation here. (Idk how this started, so do you mind giving context?)

Imagine an Outsider POV tho. A march of one (1) Dog with a pair of headphones, one (1) Cat with a yellow scarf, and then one (1) Rat with a baseball cap. The video would go viral in seconds. The internet is asking where their owners are. The pings would be insane.

This is how some of the cast finds out. Through the power of viral memes

honestly it started because... yosuke pubby hee hee and also I need an excuse to have him and monamo hang out.

i did have an idea that it's related to some sort of emotional roadblock.. Junpei's got a kid on the way and isn't ready for that and all. maybe something similar for the yosk?

Morgana's just Mona tho.

🎵 SONG-TO-GO 🎵

It's Friday again, which means unbelievably, I get to do yet another song wizard new music Friday. For a 5th week! Somehow you're all still here. I'm not out of music, so let's do this!

For the uninitiated, Song-To-Go is a weekly song poll to take a lesser-known song along with you as you scroll!

As with last week, choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (I’ve tried to make sure there’s something you won’t know), and if you like them they’re yours* to carry along on your trip!

*as in add them to your library etc., if you like them a lot come ask me and I’ll try and dig up a Bandcamp like for you, hee hee

[last week’s poll, now complete, and you can see the results. Or just listen to more music! And then tell me about it :) ]

This week's picks are all about rock and weird but really catchy indie (and the one ska punk track). What other genres do you want to hear in the next few weeks?

As always, poll’s open for a week, so if you miss this one, I’ll be back with another one by next Friday. I think I'll also keep a running playlist of everything I've posted so far, plus others I'm planning to use for upcoming weeks because honestly, I don't really feel like there's a magician's cloth I'm pulling back to reveal songs. A lot of this is actually just stuff I've played on introducing radio over the last 4 years :P

The growing playlist, here.

Happy scrolling! If you want to give your mutuals a few new songs, reblog and tell them what you liked. Happy listening!

[desultory-novice]

Confession: I'm still not over how Dream Land 3 gave us a canonical catgirl (who is also a witch!) in the form of the Keke enemy!

HAL sure loves magical kitty cats!

Hee! It’s so true! And with a name like Keke… Agh, it’s sooo close to “Kiki” that you just know she has to be partly inspired by a certain delivery witch! (...Omigosh, I still haven’t seen that movie yet, shamefully. It’s been on my watch list for forever now!)

Even then, she’s original enough in design to have her own unique charm! I mean, as you say, she's got ACTUAL kitty ears! I think one of my favorite parts about Keke is that she’s in 64 just to be chilling in the background! I love when action games have non-aggressive npcs that are there to make the world feel more alive! …Tangent, but I got the recent remaster of Trip World, which has a ton of that (f-for a weeee little Game Boy game...) and it makes me so happy!

With Keke, and the cat in the lab, and Muh-...M-Magolor... (look, I'm still midway on the "Is Magolor a cat?" issue, even now! I might not be the staunch Anti-Cat Magolor Dess that I used to be, but I have not fully embraced cat egg either!) as well as our two Clockwork Stars, gosh, they really DO love cats!

...I don't think we have seen any signs of Nago or Shiro being particularly magical, but it's funny, because Clawroline dressed herself up as a stage magician before her boss fight too!

I guess Fire Lion could be considered a little magical because its mane is made of flames? And are we counting Scarfies too, since they also showed up in the infamous cat day picture?

Edit: Oh, I forgot TAC. Tac, with the ~magical ability~ to be the most annoying copy ability enemy in Kirby Super Star...!! RRGH! GET BACK HERE!! (And I don't even feel like "Copy" itself is that useful in turn because of its one-use status and the fact that you can't attack without using it up. ...Maybe I'm missing something though? Like how I underestimated the Jet ability for the longest time...)

...Oops, this was supposed to be a Keke celebration post! XD

I've always wondered about the potentials of like, an Adeleine + Keke friendship. Would Adeleine be as fond of witches as she is fairies? (HC...) Though, maybe it's the short, silver hair (and the fact that cats are fickle) but maybe Keke would be hard to befriend?!

The fact that she provides the "Clean" ability also makes me curious about the relationship of a Copy Ability User to their own Copy Ability. Do we take this to mean that Keke a very fastidious cat girl? The Witch of Organization? Or is it all...coincidence, nya~?

[magolors-mailbox]

Tami: wait, how are you able to be manager magolor and run magolor’s tome trackers too?

Hee hee hee... A good magician never reveals his tricks! Not all of them, anyway.

[zexalisliving]

Hee, hee! New Pinned Post!

Hello! I'm zexalisliving! You can also find me at @zexalisloving, @zexalislaughing, @zexalisgaming, and @zexaliscreatinganewblog, my writing, art, Duel Links, and reblog blogs! Commissions are always closed, but requests are always open! I don't really like having people pay for my art to enjoy it.

My only criteria is that I draw Yugioh and pretty much only yugioh, even though I love many other anime, like Inuyasha, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, and many others. Yugioh is just my favorite XD

I also really, really love Keyshipping (Yuma x Astral) so if you're against it, you probably shouldn't be here.

I also have a Wattpad account! You can find me here:

I have a FanFiction account as well, where I am XKeyshipperX.

And now I have an ao3 account too! Find me at Keyshipping_til_I_drop.

All of my stories there are Yugioh related and most of them contain Yaoi and NSFW. Don't like, don't read!

I really like talking to people who share similar interests with me, so please don't be afraid to ask me anything! Also, I don't typically block people, but if you hate Yugioh and decide to get aggro or something, you will be blocked.

I thoroughly enjoy reading Yugioh hentai and will post about it occasionally, so don't be surprised if you find stuff like that here.

Also, if you made it this far, please check out @observation-no-39. If you like art, comics and/or Keyshipping, than that is definitely the place for you. She is very, very talented!

There are some facts about me, if any of you are interested, below the cut.

I was born, raised, and am currently in Texas. Yea-haw, I guess...

I love anime (I think I made that very obvious). I also love video games beyond words and measures.

My ambition is art. It's, as Yuma said in my fic, "My passion, my purpose, my reason for living!" It all began when I was watching my dad draw (he's so much better than I am), and he was drawing a picture from Sarah and Duck, and there was like, this moment that people have in movies where you just know. I knew I wanted to grow up and be an artist that could make pictures that looked completely official like he did, and so here I am.

Also, fun fact, Yugioh is the reason I'm as good as I am now, because my first time drawing from reference and really trying hard, was from an episode of DM.

I love to write as well.

I play Yugioh a lot. A WHOLE LOT.

I'm also a card collector, though I only collect Yugioh and Pokemon... Mostly Yugioh.

I'm fine and happy to have LGBTQ+ people here (after all, I ship a lot of queer characters), even though I am straight.

Doujinshi is my guilty pleasure.

I... I own 6 toads. And I love them very much. They're named Cuddlesworth, Mr. Chirps, Squirtle, Dark Magician Girl, Mr. Bones, and Vagabond. I've owned 14 in total, but... they don't typically live very long. They get diseases easily and due to that, I've just recently gotten over the loss of a sweet little guy named Visitor.

I'm learning Japanese, but I do not know how to speak much of it. (Mostly from watching the sub of Zexal without English subs on)

I also love music. I can play the couple songs I know on an electric keyboard. I also own a violin, but I'm waiting on a new bow.

And, just like Naruto, I love ramen! Believe it!

[craqueluring]

Hi!!! <33333 Love your blog as someone who sometimes has difficulty grasping metaphors in hannibal because they all talk so weirdly and english is not my first language and sometimes im genuinely dumb </33 anyway i wanted to ask you what do you think was going inside hannibals when he took mason verger to will’s house, abondoning will even though he was unconcious in enemy grounds, and fed his dogs mason’s face?? Like what is he thinking “hi honey welcome home hope you like my surprise you wanted to punish him right tee hee <3” and will just gets turned on by this? LIKE WHATS GOING ON?😭😭😭😭😭 its one of my fav scenes and i dont even get… like the meaning of it, or their motivations, or what it worked as a metaphor? Like if could you maybe share your opinions on that scene or maybe an analysis would be nice? want to hear your thoughs 🥰 thank you so muchh hope u have a nice day!!

(there is a tldr at the end of this!)

okay first of all thank you for all your kind words they absolutely made my day <3333333 i so appreciate people asking me for my thoughts on specific scenes like u dont even know. and LOL yes that scene is really weird and when i first saw this i had to talk it through with my friend bc i was like…. yeah wait what WAS he thinking? LMAO but here is my best answer:

this whole episode is basically will taunting hannibal (telling mason hannibal wants to kill him, putting a "snare around [his] neck", asking hannibal if hannibal can tell what will's intention are, telling hannibal he did this because he was "curious what would happen," etc). i could even go so far as to say hes giving hannibal a taste of his own medicine. i find the decision to make a hannibal lecter-esque scene of will preparing his homemade dog food (which ive always assumed was randall tier's remains) directly before he gets picked up by mason a curious parallel, maybe even making a point that will is starting to act like hannibal? or just foreshadowing that will's dogs are gonna be fed some weird shit later lol, or both.

anyways, the scene of mason being high on whatever hannibal gave him, and cutting his face off and feeding it to the dogs before getting his neck broken, is directly taken from the actual book. i think theres a few different things that are significant about hannibal deciding to do this specifically in will's house, though:

first is theatricality, obviously. hannibal loves shock value. 

second, it could be a symbol of hannibal's unending and pervasive presence in will's life and mind — this is the first time we've seen will and hannibal in will's own home at the same time. hannibal’s presence in will’s life extends to will’s home. i think the only other time we see them together in will's home is when hannibal saves will from the verger estate, and will rejects hannibal.

third, alana has always said that will's dogs represent the best of will. by hannibal making mason feed his face to will's dogs, this could be like hannibal "tainting" the best parts of will. soaking into every corner of his mind, his life, his soul. also to my point, hannibal says that he "broadened [will's dogs] palates, as [he] broadened [will's]." — there is no corner of will's life that hannibal doesn't touch. 

however, just as that scene could be representative of hannibal having a very large amount of power over will's life, the rest of the episode could be representative of will having just as much power over hannibal. hannibal was quite literally helpless in that straitjacket, a direct result of will's actions (unless hannibal is a magician too and knows how to escape one… which i honestly wouldn't be surprised by). and only escaped because will cut him free. similar to how will was helpless in prison, and only got out because hannibal let him go. will can be a puppet master just like hannibal. they are in equilibrium, to a point. before, will was always on the short end, being manipulated by hannibal, being in prison, etc, but in this half of the season we see them (almost) being equals. as hannibals says earlier in the episode, they understand each others minds, and so hannibal has "the capacity to deceive [will], just as [will] has the capacity to deceive [hannibal]."

as for their motivations:

multiple times in this episode, hannibal is trying to gauge how willing will would be to kill with hannibal. "would you join me at the table?" when talking about eating mason verger, and killing him being a "savage pleasure [they] can share." each time, will avoids the obvious propositions. hannibal taking mason to will's house could also be him trying to gauge how will would react when they are in the same room with a potential victim (if will would share the 'savage pleasure' with him?). at this point, i dont think that had ever happened before. will killed randall tier alone, lied about killing freddie alone, shot hobbs alone. they've never been together in this situation. and aren’t in this situation again until the dragon fight. hannibal probably brought mason to will's house knowing this would happen, and so he could really gauge how will feels about killing together, or at least in hannibal's presence.

not to mention will obviously wants mason dead. will likes doing bad things to bad people because it makes him feel good. thats why he makes that face in 2x07 when he has a gun to hannibal's head in hannibal's kitchen, and why he makes that same face when he has a knife to hannibal's throat earlier in this episode. i could maybe go so far as to call him a sadist. he likes having that feeling of power, as he tells abigail in 1x12. 

i think this is why he looks "turned on" (lol) as you said. he enjoys seeing bad people in vulnerable positions, especially when he holds the power. i think hannibal knows this, too. maybe this was some kind of gift from hannibal? maybe he didn't want to kill mason without will present; giving will the chance to kill the man he knows will hates so much. but also because hannibal, of course, was curious what will would do.

but now will is curious what hannibal will do as well, so he tells hannibal to "do what [he] thinks is best for [mason]," and hannibal obliges easily. he doesn't choose murder or mercy for mason, though, and breaks his neck and leaves him alive in that terrible state. will looks… pleased? by this, i think. (again, sadist). he and hannibal smile at each other as hannibal walks to mason to break his neck. hannibal seems pleased as well at will's reaction and the outcome of the situation.

as i said before, they are, in a way, equals for the first time in this part of the season (which is also symbolized by them being happy little cannibals together at the end of 2x10). this episode is partly them getting to fuck with each other and will reciprocating the fuckery that hannibal was disproportionately doing to will before this point, to be crass. will is, as alana says in 2x06 "playing a game, and he's not scared. not anymore." hannibal bringing mason to will’s house was part of the game they’re playing with each other.

TLDR: hannibal taking mason to will's house could be for theatricality, a symbol of hannibal's presence in will's life (even invading his home), and tainting the "best parts of will" (his dogs). as for hannibal's more personal motivations, hannibal is gauging how will would act while they are in the same room with a potential victim (first time this ever happens, and last until dolarhyde), and possibly be a gift from hannibal because he knows will wants mason dead? as for will's feelings in this moment, he was definitely feeling good because a "bad thing" was being done to a "bad person" and he likes being in that position of power. will putting hannibal in the position (straitjacket in the verger estate) where will has that power over hannibal is will fucking with hannibal, and yet again lets himself get so close to killing hannibal, because he enjoys the feeling. hannibal reciprocates this fuckery by bringing mason to will's house. they are both orchestrating these situations because they are both curious about what will happen, and they are doing this as equals.

edit: not the first time theyve been together with a potential victim, i forgot about clark ingram, but it is the first time theyve been together with a potential victim which ended up harmed/dead by either of their hands! unless im forgetting someone else lol

˗ˏˋ Ghostbusters era  ´ˎ˗

note: did I really  make an oc just to name this ghostbusters era? yes, yes I did. kinda long chapter because I wanted to get the prologue out the way. less dividers for now because of the limit.

After your shocking realization that you can't fight, you let out a shrilling scream that could've shook the house.

"What are you screaming for..." The grey beast asked, irritated as he enters the room.

One look at the ghosts and Grim lets out a scream that matched yours. "GYYAA! G-g-ghooosts!"

The ghosts all float around and laugh at your screams, a chubby one, dubbed Ghost B for now, begins to speak.

"The people living here got scared of us and left" Ghost B says with a smile.

"We've been looking for more ghost pals," A bigger looking ghost dubbed Ghost C says, looking at you and Grim. "How about you guys?" His question sends shivers down your spine.

"There's no way I'm gonna turn into a ghost right after I just got here.." You mutter, brows furrowed. Flinching as the ghosts turn to you, finding amusement in how quick your bravery left you.

"Uuh..Uhhh! Grim the Great Magician isn't afraid of some ghosts! Funnyaaah!" The furry beast takes a deep breath in before breathing fire, targeting the ghosts.

Grim's efforts are futile as his eyes are shut closed, not aware of where he is aiming.

"Who're you targeting?"

"Over here, over here! Heheheee!"

The ghosts mocked and laughed. Grim grows irritated as they keep disappearing.

"Grim! don't close your eyes!" You shout, he turns to you with a glare.

"Shuddup! Don't try to order me around!" Grim yells. You frown at his words and cross your arms, giving him a disapproving look.

'Time to act like my mother..!' You think, "Grim! That's no way to speak to someone trying to help, don't you want to win the Headmaster's favor?!"

His blue eyes widen for a moment and he ponders, "Mgmm....I'm a genius! I can take care of em myself!" The ghosts clearly not convinced that he can.

"Bunch of cowards ganging up on us!" Grim scowls.

"It's now or never, Grim! do it for a tuna as well!" You offer, Grim's eyes light up at the thought of earing tuna.

"Grr... Oi human Tell me where the ghosts are!"

You're gonna need to work on his manners, but for now, you'll forgive him.

Chasing away the ghosts was– surprisingly, very easy. All you had to do was stay calm, steady your breathing, and watch.

The novel doesn't give much unfortunately information about how the fight against ghosts went, only the overblots.

The game either has a turn based battle or a rhythm game, and in the latter, Yuu presumably tells Grim where to aim and shows where the ghosts appear in, so you used that tactic.

"LEFT!" You yell out to Grim as Ghost A appears, he immediately turns and blue flames emerge from his mouth.

The ghosts screech as they float away, "Hee, heeee! We're goners, run away!" they shout.

They phase through the walls and disappear, leaving you and a panting Grim.

"E-eh? We...won?" Grim questioned, his ears raised in confusion as he looks at the spot the ghosts disappeared at.

"That was amazing! You did great, Grim!" You praise, clapping your hands softly. Some compliments would do you good if you want Grim to listen to you.

"Hah..that was sc..No, I wasn't scared at all!" The beast quickly corrects himself. "This is nothing for the great Grim! How 'bout that, ghosts? you done?" His boasts distract you from the sound of a feathered man suddenly appearing.

"Good evening. I have graciously bought you supper." Crowley announces, you and Grim turn.

"You're the monster that ran amuck during the entrance ceremony!" Crowley states the obvious, blinking. "I threw you out of the school. What are you doing here!?"

'You didn't do anything though...' You think. The students were the ones that did the most work.

Grim huffs at the question, puffing his chest proudly. "I exterminated the ghosts here, be grateful!" Grim's explanation makes Crowley raise a brow. (If he even has any)

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" The masked man asks.

"There were three ghosts here, Grim and I scared them off." You give a quick explanation.

"Now that you mention it, there were some prankster ghosts living here so students keep away from this dormitory." He recalls. "That's why it's empty."

"Hmm..I never expect the two of you to work together," Crowley muses.

"I'm not gonna overlook that "together" comment." Grim huffs, "They were just standing there while I did all the work." Annoyed, You grab him by the back of his neck, making him yelp.

"And who exactly stopped you from burning down the dorm and told you where the ghosts are, hmm?" You question.

"Gyaa! Put me down, human!"

You let go, dropping him. Grim barely managed to land on his feet. "I told you to not speak so rudely."

Crowley coughs, ignoring what just happened.

"I'd like to see the two of you to show me how you exterminated those ghosts." He says.

"But we've already gotten rid of all the ghosts! Before that; give me more tuna!" Grim yells, and you knew better than to kick him right then and there.

"I shall be the ghost, "Crowley offers. "If you beat me, I'll give you tuna cans. For I am gracious!"

You ignore the last part as he gulps down a transformation potion, why does he even have that?

Grim groans. "I don't wanna. This is a pain and I have to team up with them again.." He mutters.

"Let's just get over with it, do it for the tuna cans."

The flaming beast gives a low growl before speaking. "This is the last time! You absolutely, absolutely have to give me my tuna cans after this!" Grim demands.

Grim pants after one last fire, smirking proudly. "How 'bout that?!"

Crowley stares, transformation potion already worn off, and blinks.

"I can't believe it...there is a person who can command mosnters." The masked man says, obviously referring to you.

"To be honest with you, my intuition as a educator has been telling me that you have a talent as trainer during the entrance ceremony." Crowley confesses what sounds like a lie to you.

"But..no matter how.." The last parts of his words are too quiet to hear.

"Could you let Grim stay here with me?" You suggest.

"What now? A monster? Here?" Crowley asks, surprised.

"Yes, I'm scared the ghosts might come back, and it would be a good look for the school you let a monster join here, no?" You say, "You'd be like a saint to others for giving the beast another chance despite his..flashy entrance."

Crowley falls for the bait, and smiles. "What an excellent idea! Ahem, it can't be helped. Very well then." He agrees.

"Hnn?!" Really?!" Grim asks in surprise and joy.

"However. I can't simply allow someone, let alone a monster, who wasn't chosen by the dark mirror into this school." Crowley explains before continuing. "Also, I can't let you be a freeloader here until you return to your own world."

"Well, talk about a short-lived joy.." Grim sighs.

"Let me finish. Concerning the fact that your soul was called here, the school has to take responsibility as the ones in possession of the dark mirror." Crowley takes a breath. "For the time being, you shall be permitted to stay in this dormitory for free. But you will have to provide for other necessities yourself."

Crowley thinks for a moment. "Seeing as you have nothing to your name.. Fufu, here is my proposition."

His laugh gives you the familiar odd vibe you had when you first read the novel, "I'll have you do maintenance ans odd jobs." He began.

"From what I can see, you're pretty decent at cleaning. Would you two like to become the handymen of the school?" Grim frowned and looked at him, clearly displeased.

"This way, you will receive special permission to remain on school grounds. I shall also permit usage of the library for you to gather information on how to return to your world and for learning purposes." The Headmaster tells you, smiling. "For I am gracious. However! Only after your work is done." He added.

Grim groans. "I'm not doing that! I wanna wear that fancy uniform and be a student!" He demands.

You give him a look of disapproval, "Would you rather be kicked out?" he flinches.

"Fine.." The beast grumbles.

The headmaster smiles, "Wonderful. Then, you two, devote yourselves to working as janitors at Night Raven College starting tomorrow!" Crowley says, and turns to his heels and leaves.

You stare at the retreating back of the crow, then turn your gaze to the tired beast.

"Don't think I'm going to allow you to cause trouble and not work, Grim." You remind him.

You walk up the stairs, looking for the room that Yuu slept in, leaving an irritated and slightly afraid beast behind.

Despite the rude awakening from the man with the feathered cape and ghosts, you feel energetic as the sight of the statues in main street become clearer.

"Uwaaah~" Grim looks around, eyes sparkling. "Amazing. So this is the main street..I didn't have a good look yesterday, but what's with all these statues?"

He gets closer to the statue of the Queen of Hearts. "All seven of them look pretty scary. Especially this granny."

"You don't know the queen of hearts?" An unknown voice says, you don't bother looking.

"Queen of Hearts? Is she important?" Grim questions.

"In the past, she was the queen who lived in the Rose Maze." The voice began. "She was someone who valued rules and discipline above all, strict in all things from the march of the Card soldiers to the color of bushes."

You don't bother listening to the explanation, already memorized the dialogues from the countless times you replayed or reread.

Instead, you began sweeping the fallen dead leaves with the rake, piling them together.

"By the way, who're you?" Grim asks, and you perk your head up.

"Ehehehe.."

That laugh sounds weird, and shouldn't Grim ask that by the end of the Queen of Hearts explanation? not the end of every..

"GAHHH! A GHOST!" You snap your head back at his scream. Lo and behold, a ghost in place of Ace's role has been telling the explanation.

Just then, an obnoxious laugh was heard from behind the ghost.

Ace.

"BWAHAHAHAA! The look on your faces..do you seriously not know the Main Street ghost?" The ginger mocks.

"Main Street...ghost?" You mutter, this wasn't mentioned anywhere in the novel or game, especially not in the prologue!

"Pfft..Ahahaah! I can't hold it anymore! Ahahaha!" Ace laughs, clutching his stomach. "Aren't you the guys who went crazy at the entrance ceremony?" He asks in between laughs, already knowing the answer.

"You were called by the Dark Mirror even though you can't use magic." Ace says, referring to you. "And you, a monster, weren't called but still trespassed!" He laughs again.

"Man, it took everything I had not to lose it at the ceremony." You don't have anything to lose you bi-

"WHAA?! You're a rude one!" Grim yells, ready to burn the mannerless ginger.

"So in the end you weren't enrolled and now work as janitors? Haha, pathetic." Ace chuckles.

"At least they aren't a disgusting dumb fucking ginger like you." You jump at the voice of the ghost, you had forgotten they were here.

"Eh- What the fuck?!" Ace gasps, looking at the transparent figure in surprise.

"Even a filthy bug infested beast like Grim has a better talent for magic than you."

"DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO INSULT  ME TOO?!" Grim shouts, enraged.

"I thought I'd just mess with you two a bit since the raccoon looked dumb, but here comes an even dumber ginger with no manners trying to look better than you." The ghost continues.

"WHY DO YOU KEEP MENTIONING MY HAIR-"

What the fuck is going? Who is this ghost? Is the statue still gonna burn? Just as you think that, Grim takes a deep breath in while Ace readies his pen, wind meets fire and targets the disappearing ghosts, and hits the statue of the Queen of Hearts.

"Oh...Oh no..." The four of you say in unison.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"

Just like how the story went, you, Grim, and Ace were punished. The ghost however, disappeared.

You wonder as you clean the windows, just who exactly is the Main Street ghost? this was the first time you've heard of them, how come they took Ace's place in the first meeting?

"That Ace guy is sure taking his sweet time. Who does he think he is? Making me wait! I'm pissed!" Grim groans,stretching his little paws.

Minutes pass as you two waited and waited, 10, 18, 20, 23, 26 windows have been cleaned.

And the ginger still isn't here.

"Ughh! That's it! I'm going to find that guy!" Grim yelled, you look at the small beast as he runs out the door. Putting down the rag, you follow him quickly.

Barging into an empty classroom, Grim yells. "Orraaa! Where's Ace?! you'll pay for hiding!" He looks around, and falls quiet when he realizes no one is here. "Eh, nobody is here..?"

"No, I'm here."

You both jump at the sound of a new voice, the portrait.

"GYAAA! The portrait talked?!" Grim shouts, jumping onto you in fear.

The portrait scoffs at your reactions. "What now? talking portraits are not a rare sight in this school, no?" He began. "Everybody here can speak, including the Lady on the over there, and the Gentleman on the wall over here."

You cough, gathering the attention of the paintings. "I'm sorry for our rude reactions. I am Y/n and this is Grim." You greet, introducing yourselves.

"We're looking for Ace Trappola, he has strange hair and a heart mark on his face." The portrait hums, thinking for a bit.

"Ah yes, I know him." He speaks. "He's one of the  long ago..."

"Waaahaaaat?!" Grim shouts. "So he really did try to go! Which way did he go?" He asks.

"The entryways leading to the dormitories are in the inner part of the East Wing." The portrait answers.

"Hey!" Grim catches your attention. "We're going after him!" He leaves no room for an answer before leaving.

"Thank you for the help!" You smile at the portraits. You run after Grim.

You enter the Hall of Mirrors, and there you see a certain ginger walking by with his hands behind his hand.

"HEEEEY!! YOUUUU!!" Grim shouts, surprising Ace.

"Ack! They found me!" The ginger quickly picks up the pace, running as Grim chases him and you follow closely behind.

"Outta my way! Outta my way!" Ace yells as he pushes a familiar blue haired boy.

"Eh..oo-ooh?!"

'Deuce!' You smile, "Please catch him! he's trying to skip out on punishments!" You yell, grabbing his attention.

"Magic to capture somebody?!" He blinks, and begins to think. !I should freeze their legs, no. How about restrain them? Or I could... Uummm..."

"Anything is fine! I don't care how just hit him hard!" The beast yells, pulling Deuce out of his thoughts.

"Anything?! ...Eeeiii!! Anything is fine, come forth..something heavy!" Deuce yells. At his command, a large cauldron appears... And falls on Ace.

"GUEEEH!! What the..a cauldron?!!" Ace looks at the heavy pot confusingly, unable to move or get it off him.

You almost laugh at the sight, you bit your tongue and hold back. 'He might be hurt, no time for laughs!"

Grim on the other hand, has let his laughter fill the room. "Gyahahaha! Look at him! as flat as a pancake!" The beast mocks.

"I didn't think I'd get a cauldron..did I overdo it?" The Two of Spades looks in concern as he mutters to himself.

You catch up to the others and cast one glance at Ace before turning to Deuce. "Thanks so much! That was so cool!" You smile.

The blue haired blushes, the tips of his ears turn red. "Ahh..i-it's no problem..?"

"Man this hurts.." Ace groans, "Couldn't you have left me alone and wiped those 100 windows in a flash for me?" You sigh.

"That's not something you can do in a flash." You speak, "Besides, it's your fault as well!"

Deuce glances between the two of you. "Wiping 100 windows as a punishment..what on earth did you do?" He asks.

"That damn Mainstreet Ghost picked a fight with me, just when I was about to blow him away, the furball tried to burn him." Ace sighed, "And...it hit the Statue of the Queen of Hearts instead."

Deuce's eyes widened, his jaw hung low. "THE STATUE OF THE QUEEN OF HEARTS??" He yelled..

The blue haired sweated. He ran a hand through his hair. "You damaged one of the Great Seven statues.. You get into a prestigious school then do something like this.." Deuce murmured.

Ace clicked his tongue and shot a glare. "Shuddup. And who are you anyways?" He questioned.

"I'm Deuce Spade. Would it hurt to remember your classmates' faces at least...umm..." He trailed off as he tries to remember his name.

"You don't remember me either." Ace said, exasperated.

Deuce blushes, "M-My point is!" He began, bashfully. "If the Headmaster tells you to do something then you better take it seriously."

"Yeah, yeah. I hear you." The ginger sighs, finally getting up. "Then, let's get it done and over with...Hmm?" He looks around at the spot Grim just stood on.

"Grim's gone." You point out, rather calmly.

"AHH! THAT FURBALL!" Ace shouted, furious. He turns to Deuce. "H-hey.. um, Juice?" He says, more of a question really.

"It's Deuce! Deu!" The Two of Spades says, pointing at the ginger.

"Whatever!" Ace yells, "You're partially responsible so help us catch that furball!" He demands.

Deuce raises a brow, "Why me?" He asks.

"This deadweight can't use magic so they can't help! now come on!" You feel a vein pop at the name he called you, but the boy ran off before you can tell him off.

You groan, "Sorry about this Deuce..But I'd really appreciate your help!" You say, clasping your hands together with a hopefull look.

"I..Don't worry about it!" Deuce blushes, "I can't just let troublemakers escape punishment like that!" He says, then rushes to catch up with Ace. You follow shortly behind.

You stare at the fallen chandelier, exasperated and worn out from the sudden marathon.

Next to you stood a bashful and worried Deuce. Near the chandelier stood Ace, frightened, and a passed out Grim not too far for him.

And now you were threatened with expulsion.

"Please! Anything but that!" Deuce begs, casting a pitiful look.

"You have nothing to blame for but your own idiocy.." Crowley says.

You drown out the rest of the conversation, mindlessly staring at the broken chandelier.

'I have..' You gulp, digging your nails into your palm. 'I have to fight a phantom..don't I?' You finish your thought.

"There's one way." You turn to the Headmaster, finally listening in. "There might be one way to fix the chandelier." He states.

The Knave of Hearts and the Two of Spades look at the Headmaster with eagerness, their eyes twinkling with hope.

"The magic crystal for this chandelier was mined in the Dwarf's Mine." Crowley begins to explain. "If we have a magic crystal of the same kind as the original, then repair might be possible."

"I will go find a magic crystal!" Deuce announced. "Please, allow me to go!"

"However, I have no guarantee there are any left in the mine." The crow mentions. "The mine has been closed for a while and it's very possible it is exhausted of crystals." He adds.

"I'll do anything to get our expulsion rescinded!" You can't help but smile at the blue haired as he includes you and the others.

"I..I'll also do it!" You suddenly say, surprising the others. Though you shortly regret it afterwards.

"..Very well. I shall give you one night." Crowley says. "Come to me with a magic crystal by tomorrow morning or face expulsion." he states.

"Yes! Thank you very much!" Deuce says with a smile.

Ace silently sighs, "Oh boy, fine. Let's go get the magic crystal and be done with it." You nod and walk towards the unconscious beast, picking him up with ease.

'He's surprisingly light..' Grim's eyes shutter open, his dazed look makes you almost giggle.

"Huh..? What happened..?" The beast asks in a slurred speech.

"Hush now and go back to sleep, kitty."

After a few moments of dizziness and nausea, you take a look around you.

You notice you're in a dark forest with small river that has a bridge, you're entirely surrounded by tall moss covered trees.

Across you can see a rundown cottage with cobwebs, the paint beginning to peel off and the roof about to cave in.

"So this is the Dwarf's Mine.." Deuce speaks, observing the state of the place. "It used to be prosperous, thanks to magic crystal mining but.." He trails off.

"Uuuhhh..Feels like something could jump out." Grim commented. He shivers slightly as his fur moves with the direction of the cold wind.

"Oh, there's a house back there." Ace acknowledged, "Let's go ask them about the mine." He suggests becofe making his way on the creaky bridge.

As you enter the cottage, particals of dust make you all cough and tear up. The inside is worse of the cottage is definitely worse. cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and walls, a soot covered fireplace that has not been maintained in years, rusty fallen chairs and a dirty table with a dusty rug on top.

"Aren't the tables and chairs on the small side?" Ace mentions. "Are they for kids?" He wonders before beginning to count.

"Seven?! So many..!" The ginger exclaims.

"This was probably a lively home when Dwarf's mine was thriving." Deuce suggests.

You all decide staying here is pointless, and walk to the entrance of the Dwarf's Mine.

The cave is barely visible in the dark night, you can hear the wind echoing from inside into alluring hums, vines and moss covered the rocks and trees from the outside.

"W-we're going in there?!" Grim stutters, shaking as his blue eyes peer into the dark place.

"Ya scared? How lame." The ginger smirked, making the beast's flaming ears grow bigger as he glares.

"Naaanh?! I'm not scared at all!" Grim growls, taking a deep breath in before beginning to walk. "I'm taking the lead! You guys, follow me!" He exclaims.

You walk into the cave, and you look at all the gems sparkling as they illuminate the path. 'How pretty.' You think.

Deuce halts, eyes widened as he eyes the front of the path. "Wait!" He yells.

You and the others stop, turning to him. "What." Ace raises a brow.

"Something..is there!" The blue haired says, pointing into the darkness.

Pale ghastly figures lurking in the shadows slowly reveal themselves. Ghosts with cloaks and an eerie smile on their faces.

"Eeek?!" Grim shrieks, clawing into your clothes as he climbs up your shoulder.

"Heee heee heee..!" One giggles, their voice echoes through the dark cave. "Our first visitors since 10 years!"

"Make yourselves at home!" The other chuckles. "For an eternity!"

"GHOSTSSS!!!" The cards and the beast shout, ready to escape.

You hum for a moment, pondering their offer. "I'm sorry, hut we didn't come here to stay." You say.

The ghosts perk their head up at you, unsure of what to think about your calmness. They giggle and raise their hands up. "But we'll be sooo lonely if you leave~" They say, ready to chase.

You pull Grim off your shoulder, "They can't do much if you're not scared, so stay calm and be ready to burn them." You whisper to him.

"Stop spacing out and run!" Ace yells, grabbing the back of the collar of your shirt.

"Heee heee heee!" The ghosts laugh, floating to you. "Don't leeavve usss! Heee heee heee!"

You all outrun the ghosts, panting as you come to a stop. Thankfully you've managed to ward off the ghosts with the help of your directions.

'I should join ghostbusters with the amount of times I've fought ghosts..' You huff, resting your hands on your knees.

"We'd better hurry!" Deuce says, wiping the sweat off his head.

"Don't think you can just order me around." Ace snaps, shooting a glare. "We wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if you hadn't done something so idiotic!"

"You wanna talk about who started it? It's 'cause you wouldn't clean!"

"Oh, we're pointing fingers now? That furball over there burned the Queen of Hearts' statue first!"

"Ffgna! That's on you and that damn ghost!"

You zone out on the banter as you look ahead, paralyzed as you hear quiet yet heavy steps and approaching you.

"Guys..Did you hear that?" You question, the others turn to you and stay silent.

"...on't...ive.....wo...." Something in the dark groans, alarming the others. It's steps grow louder as it gets closer, making the ground shake slightly.

"Wh-what's...this voice?" Ace asks, yet no one could give an answer.

No one but you.

Yet how can you give an answer when you so desperately pray that it isn't what you think it is?

'How am I gonna get out of this one..' You look down, your hands go cold and numb as the steps stop.

"...crystal....is....M..INEEEE!"

With all the might you have, you force yourself to raise your head, and your eyes meet a digusting sight.

A glass bottle as a head, cracked with ink oozing out of it like blood, it stains the maroon colored button shirt. It holds a large pickaxe that drags and scrapes along the ground and a lit latern on the other hand. It has no legs nor face, yet it moves with its pudgy ink that leaves a trail behind and speaks as if it has a mouth.

A truly monstrous sight that you've never wished to see.

'God this is so much scarier that in the ga- holy fuck it STINKS.' You resist the urge to gag as you take note of it's odor, like rotting acidic meat and old ink with fleas.

"OII Y/N! HURRY AND RUN!" Ace shouts, dragging you out of your thoughts.

You run with the others and seek shelter behind a wall of rocks, leaning against it as you catch your breath.

"W-what the hell was that..." Deuce breathes out. Ace plops down on the ground and calms his shaking body.

"It's so nasty! But didn't it mention a 'crystal'?!" Ace recalls.

"Eeeeh?!" Grim looks at Ace in shock. "A crystal..?" He murmurs.

"So there really are magic crystals left!" Deuce exclaims, getting up from the ground.

Grim shakes his head furiously, "N-n-n-nope! Nope! I'm a genius but I don't stand a chance against that thing!" He yells.

"But we'll be expelled without it..I'm going!" Deuce declares. Ace and you look at him dumbfounded.

"It's too dangerous by yourself.." You say quietly. Deuce stays silent for a moment, looking down at his feet. His nails digging into the palm of his hand.

He raises his head, his eyes filled with determination and courage. "I cannot.." Deuce begins. "I cannot, under any circumstances, be expelled!"

Your eyes widen at his declaration, a feeling of warmth envelopes itself in your chest as hope lights your dim path.

'I can't just stay back and watch them get hurt..' You bite your lips, 'No matter how afraid I am..'

You grip onto your sleeves tightly, furrowing your brows.

No matter what, you'll use your knowledge to protect them!

How stupid you were, to think you would be able to fight against that thing.

Yet here you all are, panting and shivering as you lean against trees, straying far from the cave.

"Oooooww... What in the world is that?" Ace groans, rubbing the back of his head.

"It doesn't seem like any old ghost." Deuce says, sighing.

"Let's give up and go home. I'd rather get expelled than fight that thing." Ace suggests, frowning.

Deuce widens his eyes, looking at Ace with anger. "Wha?" Don't screw with me!" "There was a magic crystal in front of us. You think I could just give up and leave?!" He yells.

"Ha. You talk big for someone worse at magic than me." The ginger spat, "Go alone if you want. I'm done." Ace gets up, huffing.

"Oooh, that right? Then stay right there like a spineless coward!" Deuce shouts, glaring.

"Huuuh?!" Ace snaps, "Coward?! Who exactly are you talking about?!"

as the two banter again, you walk up to the entrance, stopping just a few feet away.

'I couldn't do anything..' You sigh, lightly slapping your face. "What good am I for if I can't even use my knowledge to survive." You mutter.

"Y/n, what are you doing?" Grim asks, the other two turn their heads to you, brows raised.

You panic slightly, but soften your gaze as an idea pops up in your head.

"I'm going in there." You say. The others stare at you in shock, their mouths agape.

"Are you stupid?! A magicless human like you?! in there?!" Grim yells, wondering if you've lost your marbles.

You smirk, eyes lighting up with mischief. "Of course! Imagine how embarrassing it must be for a so called "great magician" and two students of Night Raven College to be too afraid to fight a monster." You pause.

"Yet a poor magicless human has a guts to go in there and avoid expulsion~" You finish.

"Why you..! Suddenly speaking like that..!" Ace grumbles, glaring at you.

"So you plan on taking the spotlight for yourself?" Grim says, scowling. "I can't let a stupid henchman of mine do that! I'm going in!" He decides.

The Knave of Hearts and the Two of Spades snap their head to the beast, "Eh?!"

You click your tongue a bit. "Well..I guess it'd be cool if a human commanded a wild beast to fight for them." You murmur, just loud enough for the others to hear.

"Then, I guess it's just scaredy cats like you two who'd get expelled." You grin, eyeing the Heartslabyul students.

"Why you..! I'll show you who's a scaredy cat!" Ace clenches his fists. "I'm going with you!"

"So am I!" Deuce speaks up.

You smile, and take a deep breath in.

"Then, listen to my plan."

You walk around the cave, gems in your hands that shined brightly enough to be mistaken for a magic crystal

A hesitant and awkward smile appears on your face as you take a deep breath in. "Oh~ What lovely magic crystals I have!" You cheer.

As your voice echoes, heavy footsteps are suddenly heard. You turn right and left, looking for wherever that thing could appear from.

"I'm so glad I have all these magic crystals..." You trail off as you see a light shine and hear a pickaxe scraping along the ground. The large inky phantom appears, presumably staring right at you. "To..mys-myself...?"

"Crystals....MINEEEE!"

You take that as your cue and dash right off, bringing it as far as you can outside the cave.

It's pickaxe very narrowly misses you as it swings for your head, you slide right under and with one last sprint your far enough from the cave.

Ace and Grim see you and the monster chasing behind, they ready their magic, and as you dash to the side, a whirl of wind appears on Ace's command. "Extra Large Tempest!"

"And the Great Grim's Fire Special!"

The beast breathes out fire that meets with the wind, transforming into a tornado of fire that makes it's way to the phantom.

"Guaaaahh!!?" It screams in confusion at the sudden attack, unable to move as it is caught.

"Now's our chance!" You yell to Deuce, he readies his magic, concentrated as he aims.

"Come forth, cauldron!" He yells, and a cauldran pops out from the sky and falls onto the phantom, trapping it.

"Nice work, everyone!" Grim praises, "The monster looks as flat as a pancake like Ace earlier!" He adds, making Ace groan.

"You don't need to bring that up again!"

"Let's go get the magic crystal while that thing can't move!"

You all run past the phantom, as you do, you hear a quiet plea from the distance. 'Sorry buddy..!' You look behind shoulder in pity.

"There! A magic crystal!" Deuce exclaims, the gem in his hands sparkling.

"Great! Let's go-"

"Hands ...offfff!!!" The phantom yells, it's struggling beginning to cesse as it calms and is about to be freed.

"Oi Deuce! Throw more stuff on it!" Grim commands, turning to Deuce.

"Eeeh, something heavy?!" Deuce panicked, then proceeds to summon more cauldrons. "C-come forth! Cauldron! And ummm, cauldron?"

"Nnnngggguaahh!" The screams coming from the monster grow louder and louder as the cauldrons completely trap him.

"Are cauldrons the only thing in your repertoire?!" Ace yells, brows furrowed.

"Shut up! I'm at my wits end over here!" Deuce retorts.

"Let's leave now!" You interrupt the bantering boys, in your hands another magic crystal you thankfully found.

"Roger that!" Says the ginger, you all run off again, and you hear one last scream.

"That...is...MINEEEEE!"

You all run back to the woods, the monster soon chasing after you as it brushed all the cauldrons off it's back.

"You're kidding me?! it brushed off all that stuff and came after us!" Ace yells, looking from behind as he run.

The phantom screams, demanding that you give the crystals back.

"Shoot, it's gonna catch up to us!" Deuce says, almost tripping over a rock.

"But it's weaker!" You mention. "We might be able to finish it off!"

"Ahh fine.." Ace groans, turning to Deuce. "Don't let me down, Mr. Serious!"

"You too!"

"I'll show off my true power!" Grim smirks.

You all come to a halt, magic pen in the card soldiers hands and the beast's nails gripping onto the ground as they turn to face the phantom.

"Let's get this over with!" 

"Hah...hah..."

Everyone pants and groans, hands on their knees as their bodies shake and start to feel numb from the tiredness.

"We...wo..won..?" Grim says, before smiling. "We actually won!" He cheers.

"Hooray!"

"We did it!"

The cards join in as they look at the spot the phantom was in, now disintegrating into nothing..

"Victory high five~!" Grim yells, join the other boys and jumping as high as he can to high five them with his paws.

"YAAAAY!!" They cheer.

You can't help but smile at the scene, your droopy eyes forced to focus at the heartwarming sight as the boys cheer for their victory.

"I'm glad you're getting along now.." You say, the Knave of Hearts, Two of Spades, and beast look at you, embarrassed and flushed.

"I-it's nothing like that!"

"Y-yeah! Could you stop saying weird things?"

"We won because of me! not because of working together!"

You giggle at their at their excuses and lean against a tree. Ace sighs, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I guess making excuses like that is pretty lame.." He mutters. "I hate to say it, but it's thanks to your plan." His words take you by surprise, your eyes soften, your smile growing bigger.

"...True. We got the magic crystal because of your level headed plan." Deuce adds, a small smile plastered on his face. "We can prevent our expulsion this way....I'm so relieved."

"It's because everyone worked together." You say, bringing your knees to your chest. "I'm glad everyone is alright.."

"Yeah, yeah." Ace yawns. "We're all relieved and seriosuly tired. Let's go back." He says.

"I'm starving from using so much magic.." Grim says, his stomach rumbling. "Hmm? what's this?"

'Oh no, oh no no no...'

"Looks like a remnant of the monster..A black magic crystal..?"

'God, please no..'

"Sniff, sniff...This thing smells so good..!"

"Grim, don-"

Just as you get up from the ground, the beast plops the stone in his mouth, and a look of delight is plastered on his face.

'Fuck no..!'

Hi! Could you tell me more about Abby Cadabra? She looks awesome and I’m very intrigued, especially since she’s a witch in training! What’s her backstory so far?

This makes my day, absolutely!!

I have an into except from a pitch bible for her here, and I'll add info:

ABBY CADABRA

A WITCH IN TRAINING

QUOTE TO GET TO KNOW HER: “I’ll just say the magic words: Abby Cadabra! Ha, get it? Please laugh.”

14 year old Abigail Corriente (goes by Abby Cadabra) is a quirky, over confident, slightly egotistical Colombian descended teen witch full of spunk and heart. Ever since she was a little girl, Abby dreamt of being more. Whatever that more is she wasn’t quite sure, but still, it was hee CALLING. One day, while walking back alone from school, Abby saw the Sand-Witch (a witch who specialises in, you guessed it, sandwiches) perform, and enchanted, asked nicely (read: nagged) until she got an apprenticeship at the deli, working towards becoming a witch.

Of course, the Sand-Witch isn’t the world’s best teacher, and 4 years later, Abby still resides on Level 1 magical ability (a.k.a, the baby level), able to perform only the most basic spells (Levitation, Light, Hold the Mayo). Add some frowned upon stage magic practices (powerful playing cards, colorful handkerchiefs, those ring things that can be attached and detached), and what you have is a pretty weak (and impatient) witchling. Abby’s been begging to advance to level 2 (less pathetic baby), but the Sand-Witch doesn’t think she can cut the mustard. It seems as if Abby’s just kinda stuck.

However, when an evil magic stealing warlock appears, Abby gets a chance to prove herself (no one else has magic left, after all). She’s definitely not gonna shut up about how this is gonna show everyone. But deep down, Abby’s afraid they’re all right, and she really isn’t made out for this world.

Abby’s got long blue hair (which always seems to sparkle), a black and purple magician’s uniform (with a little purple hat), a belt armed with all kinds of magical items and a plastic wand. She has blue diamonds on the middle of her shirt, roller skates and a broom with training wheels! She also has a sarcastic pet bunny rabbit named Jack of Spades!

That's what I have so far! Thanks for being interested!!
