Jack bobbed his head a bit, tapped his foot a few times, and finally took a stance, shooting a smirk at Todd.
"First move is all yours if you're so keen to brawl.
So please, by all means, give it your all."
"AWK-!" The raven flailed about as Cat knocked him down and picked him back up. "What's your deal, you crazy mutha?!"
"Ugh..." Patrick sat up slightly, rubbing his head despite being in surprisingly little pain. He looked over his shoulder at Rio, who was about halfway done restoring the church. "What's going on?"

"Just keep Mr. Fedora over there busy, will ya?" Cat silently ordered. "Keep him on the ground, close to me. If he starts flying around again... Well... Just keep him on the ground." Then she haphazardly tossed the raven into the air again.

"With pleasure," Todd replied as a deep grinding noise was made and small rivulets of blood formed around the violist. "Time for a little aid to my companions. Fraymotif- Blood Brothers!"

"GYAH...! Alright, alright!" After floundering about for a bit, the raven began to circle the field, eyes trained on Jack.
Again, Jack chose to remain silent, observing Todd's actions with keen interest.
Rio cast a solemn gaze at Patrick; by this point, the fire had been put out, but the damage had yet to be fully undone. "The demon who dominates thine compatriot is dueling with the Witch of Blood abroad. If thou art well to aid, myself would beseech that thou aid Cat in her undertaking. Myself shalt succour yonder concourse anon."
"I'm not sure what you just said, but I gotta go help them save Evan," Patrick politely insisted as he got up and ran around to the front of the church, feeling surprisingly rejuvenated.

As the raven took flight and Todd started... doing his... thing (like she was paying attention), Cat smiled at Jack's back. She was full of enough energy as it was, but her confidence seemed to be rising substantially. She was anxious to see this fancy-dressed freak get his comeuppance, so much so that she decided to make her move right then and there, slowly and quietly sneaking up behind Jack and reaching up to snatch his goggles.

Todd took a breath. He drew the bow across the strings creating an malicious hiss. The rivulets started to snake their way towards Jack.

Jack almost appeared downright ecstatic as he watched Todd at work, elegantly maneuvering around the rivulets like a ballroom dancer. At one point, he suddenly turned around and jabbed his walking stick against Cat's nose, shooting her a sort of "nice try" smile before resuming his dance.
"Someone's having way to much fun with this," muttered the raven.
Patrick cautiously peered around the church at the fight taking place, anxiously pondering his next course of action.

"Mmf...!" Cat rubbed her nose and frowned as Jack pranced off. She quickly moved back a bit, waiting for her next opportunity.
She then spotted Patrick hiding behind the partially-restored church. "Oh hey."

'Time to pull out the swan song....' He thought as he watched Jack dance about. Todd took a deep breathe as he set up for a song on his gear viola. Tod let a gear prick him like Beth did with the glass. "FRAYMOTIF! IN MY BLOOD!" He shouted with a forceful amount of gusto as he started another song. The crystals formed around him. Though instead of being a swarm of shards it seemed they formed swords and knives.

Jack stopped and swerved to look up at Todd, his pleasured grin growing impossibly wider.
"I thought I had seen everything,
But now it's getting interesting!"
He raised his cane like a staff, ready to defend. He would've taken flight, but just as he lifted himself up, the raven swooped down and swatted at his head, forcing him back down. As he circled back around, the raven muttered, "Why am I doing this?"
"Hey," Patrick awkwardly replied. "W-What should we do? I know Todd said he wouldn't hurt Evan, but... I-I need a clear shot. I need Jack in one spot if I'm gonna exorcise him."

"Welp..." Cat smirked at Patrick. "Once I get his goggles off and Rio does his thing, he's all yours, pally."

'Let's hope this works,' thought Todd as the knives broke off from the swarm and headed towards Jack. 'Just aim for the coat tails.'

Jack took a leap of faith, shooting into the air in time to dodge the blood knives. The raven once again tried to stampede him, but Jack simply swatted the bird aside with his cane; at the very least, the raven managed to snag his talons on Jack's trilby, dragging the black hat off his host's head. Choosing to ignore this for now, Jack called to Todd...
"Impressive! Very impressive indeed!
But I presume there's only so much you can bleed."
Patrick nodded to Cat. "Need any help with that?"

"Actually..." Cat cast a wicked grin at Jack whilst keeping her voice directed at Patrick. "You wouldn't happen to know any spells that could mute any noises I make, would you?"

"Yes. Every human does," he replied as the wound clotted over. More of the crystal blood blades fired. Todd wobbled slightly as he set off another song.
