"............"
Ace was frozen with fear, her breaths shallow and uneven, blood rushing through her ears. As if things weren't bad enough... They were entangled in a monumental crisis, tensions were high between team members, a new foe was out to kill them... but now... the worst case scenario had arisen.
"Jack..."
The panic only lasted for a few more seconds. Her next reaction was outright fury.
Sirion lowered his eyebrows, looking between his bloodied hands and an enraged Orcana. "Listen, b****, I've been busy trying to save all existence from a f***in' demon who's already killed YOU and GOD KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER BASTARDS WE KNOW IN MULTIPLE TIMELINES! And not only does he keep killing doomed timeline versions of us, but he's only doing so AFTER absorbing our powers! Mother f***er only needs hope powers and he'll be unstoppable! Me wiping out a few hope powered sons uh b****es in timelines where they're DOOMED TO DIE REGARDLESS is doing you and that feather-brained sack uh s*** a favor! YOU'RE F***IN' WELCOME!!!"
"YOU RECKLESS MORON, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!!"
Sirion groaned and rolled his head back when Ace suddenly appeared from behind the lotus capsule. "AND NOW THERE'S THIS B****! ALWAYS WITH THE B****ES!!"

Alex was staying WELL ENOUGH AWAY FROM SIRION AND ORCANA BY THIS POINT. Better to let the thief of Rage and the Bard of Void settle their disputes by themselves. As the two talked though, they were suddenly interrupted by Ace, one of Evan's friends whom seemed to be angry and shouting. He tilted his head curiously. "Well this is a bit abrupt..." He took a step forward... But only one. "What the heck is going on Ace? Why are you freaking out?"

"Clean out dem coddam ears dog buoy."
FWISH! One of Sualocin's Squall landed in Sirion's shoulder.
"Consider yo'self lucky I ain't aimin' fo' yo head," Orcana sounded different. She sounded EERILY CALM AND FURIOUS. "I don' care about no clockwork guy. An' I don' care if they doomed t' die anyway. All I'm sayin' is, watch it dog buoy. Next time I ain't missin' yo head."
The remaining two Sualocin's Squall cleamed menacingly in Orcana's hands, her one eye absolutely burning with hatred.

Ryan shook in place, staring at the wound inflicted on Sirion. He had a distinct feeling that messing with this woman was not something a very sound mind would think of.
Which made matters worse- he didn't consider himself a sound mind at all.

Lagola squeaked and cringed at Orcana's single, subtle attack, equally terrified by what Orcana and Sirion were capable of, as well as Ace's subsequent outburst. Even if she had known what to do, she was too petrified to do it.
"WHOA! OKAY!" Evan quickly got between the two bickering trolls, poised and aimed to stop whatever may follow. "Everyone just CHILL! Yeah, we've all made some stupid decisions, but we're not gonna move past 'em and solve our problems if we just devolve into a bunch of violent renegades throwing our crap at each other!"
As such devolution amongst violent renegades progressed, Patrick awkwardly and stiffly fast-walked out into the open and grabbed Evan by the sleeve of his pajama shirt. "Uh, Evan? Probleeeem. Very big probleeeem...!"

Sirion only flinched when the throwing star was embedded into his shoulder. He growled at Orcana, pulled the infernal piece of metal out of the indigo mess and captchalogued it. He had been collecting so many strife specibi off of dead players that it could come in handy. But probably not. "I'll keep that in mind, fish face."
"I'LL TELL YOU WHY I'M FREAKING OUT!" Ace stormed up to the group and grabbed Sirion, being sure to grip him by his bad shoulder. "YOU...! YOU RIPPED PATRICK'S VOID STORAGE OPEN AND NOW THERE'S A BODY-SNATCHING DEMON ON THE LOOSE!!!"
Wincing from moderate pain, Sirion stared at Ace in anger and confusion. There was already a demon on the loose! "The hell are YOU talkin' about?!"
"In your haphazard voyage, did you HAPPEN to find a piece of fused stone containing a magical orb containing a small black blob floating around in the void?!"
Sirion blinked, stubbornly refusing to take this chick seriously. "Oh, that? It was a piece uh s***, so I gave it to some annoying lizard b**** I ran into."
"THAT WAS JACK, YOU BRAINDEAD TOOL!"
"...Jack Noir?"
"WHAT? NO! JACK TRADES, THE INSANE DEMON WHO COULD POSSESS ANY OF US AND LAY WASTE TO EVERYTHING HE GETS HIS GRUBBY HANDS ON!!!"
"B****, WILL YOU STOP SCREAMING IN MY FACE?!"

 ?? ..... Taking a moment to think about this as the two continued screaming, the reality slowly started to dawn on him the more he thought about it. He remembered Forsaken mentioning this demon, and Erin herself also brought up said demon at least once during their moments alone at home... He was aware somewhat of Jack Trades, and what it could potentially mean if he got out... .... Alex opened a void portal and reached in, wincing as something clawed at his arm and desperately tried to pull him in before he finally pulled the arm out and closed the portal up again... He had pulled out what looked like an airhorn. "Ryo, cover your ears." With that warning ahead of time and waiting for Ryo to do as such, Alex held up the item... Then pressed down on the button, aiming it at the arguing bunch. FWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!When the arguing finally stopped and a number of people turned to Alex, he put away the horn into a pocket and held up his hands, making a timeout signal. "NOW NOW TIME-OUT. ALL OF YOU." Letting out a massive breath, he started rubbing his temples as he considered everything he heard. "NOW.... LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS STRAIGHT. Firstly..." He points at Orcana. "There are now TWO VERSIONS OF YOU OUT THERE. One of them I'm looking at, the other somewhere else and is the same one responsible for destroying my session... FUCKING NIGHTMARISH, BUT WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT PSYCHOPATHIC BITCH IN DUE TIME.... Secondly, Sirion is an asshole that's going around to other timelines and killing other people so an interdimensional demon doesn't kill them himself and can... SOMEHOW STEAL THEIR POWERS WHILE DOING SO.... FINE, I CAN GET THAT BULLSHIT. WE'VE ALREADY SEEN SAID ASSHOLE USE OUR FRAYMOTIFS. HELL, WE'VE EVEN SEEN HIM STEAL ANGER, WHICH MEANS HE MAY HAVE ALREADY KILLED A VERSION OF ORCANA SOMEWHERE AS WELL." He added that in more for Orcana's benefit then his own. "AND FINALLY, FUCKING FINALLY, THANKS TO SIRION'S ANTICS, WE NOW HAVE A BODY SNATCHING DEMON ON THE LOOSE THAT CAN POSSESS LITERALLY ANYBODY HE WANTS WITH ABSOLUTE EASE. A demon to which I've heard cannot be easily removed from said body because FUCK IT, WHY IN THE FUCK SHOULD IT BE EASY? HE'S LATCHED ONTO YOUR BRAIN FOR FUCK'S SAKE." He looks at Sirion. "AND APPARENTLY THAT STONE YOU SO STUPIDLY MOVED OUT OF THE VOID WAS HIS PRISON...."Hands on his head, about ready to pull his hair out. "YOU...."His hands then shoot to his sides as if completing a reference of some kind. "DENSE MOTHERFUCKER............. IT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH YOU RIP APART THE VOID, NOW YOU HAD TO BE AN UTTER MORON AND JUST MAKE THE SITUATION A HUNDRED TIMES WORSE THEN IT ALREADY WAS. Granted you didn't know about Jack Trades, I can understand that. BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THIS OVERGLORIFIED BRAIN TICK IS NOW LOOSE AND IS ADDING TO THE PROBLEMS WE ALREADY HAVE. THAT IS WHY I SUGGESTED INFORMATION SHARING. BECAUSE YOU MIGHT JUST LEARN SOMETHING SUPER FUCKING IMPORTANT THAT MIGHT KEEP YOU FROM DOING SOMETHING STUPID." |

...
The first thing that Alex would have heard was some rather sarcastic-sounding clapping. Everyone's head would turn to see that Orcana was the cause of said sarcastic clapping.
"I give you an' A fo' effort an' anger buoy," Orcana said, clearly unimpressed by the yelling. "But an F in actual substance."
One could see Orcana's left hand full of a strange purple energy. She hid her hand behind her back. "Okay so maybe there too many of us. Whateva. An' if dis clockwhack fella killed an alt-me, whateva." She seemed oddly cool with the possible death(s) of her alternate selves. "An' adult alt me is the biggest most stylin' badass bitch in da universe so y'all shouldn't even botha wit' fightfin' her, she'll krill all of ya anyways."
The purple energy grew in Orcana's hand behind her back.

......... FIGHTING BACK A MASSIVE PAINED GROAN, Alex rubbed roughly on his head to fight a potentially forming migraine. He then walked up and glared at Orcana with a snarl. "Orcana.... You... HAVE to listen to me. PLEASE." He backed up a bit and frantically continued. "Rendface. Is. BAD. NEWS. ... LIKE... NOT EVEN JUST FOR ME, MY FRIENDS AND ALL OTHER HUMANS.... She's bad news for EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING."

"Yeah, she bad news..."
It seemed hopeful that Orcana would see reason for a moment.
"Fo' anyone who an idiot. I'll talk wit' her, we be coo', an' y'all fo'get aboat her."
Taking in Alex's COMPLETELY INCREDULOUS FACE, Orcana placed her palm from behind her back on his head despite his protests. "It you an' dat otha guy's fault anyways. I ain't the type to make threats. I make promises."
One of the remaining Sualcoin's Squall gleamed in her other hand.

Ryan shook, trying to take in every word on either side. "So... basically, we're taking giant steps backwards because of counter-productive actions, we have a bunch of powerful demons or angry trolls after us... and on top of everything else, we need to trust that Rendface and Orcana will see eye to eye," he offered, gulping upon noticing the eyepatch. I mean no offense, he thought to himself, looking to the side.

"WHOA, WHAT?!" Evan immediately shouted after Ace announced that Jack was on the loose.
Lagola looked up at Kendall, confused and worried. Kendall's baffled expression shifted between her, Ace and Evan. How could he possibly have so many blind spots in his vision?!
While Ace and Sirion continued to shout at one another, Patrick anxiously murmured to Evan, "W-We're gonna do something about this, right??"
"I don't see why we wouldn't!" Evan sharply whispered back. "No one deserves to go through what that pest put me through!"
"But how're we supposed to find him? Between the mission at hand and the fact that this troll guy left him with who-knows-what- AAAAAHHHHH 420 BLAZE IT!!!!!" Patrick screamed when Alex suddenly blasted his air horn.
Evan was stymied, staring ahead with a dopey, cross-eyed expression as Alex went over everything currently plaguing the group. Once he was finished, Evan bluntly stated, "Yeah, that's about it."
He then watched as Alex and Orcana started bickering over the latter's apparent adult self. Right out the gate, he sensed bad vibes... and he had had just about enough of those. Alex had just gone over how many problems they had. They didn't need to start up anymore. Without giving it much thought, Evan cautiously and silently approached the duo, hand instinctively reaching for the Paramount Key.
And as soon as Orcana placed a hand on Alex's head, surprisingly, Evan was not the first person to act.
"NO!!!" Lagola leapt to her feet and sprinted across the field before taking a mighty bound and landing on Alex's back.
With a slight jump, Kendall got up and ran after her. "W-! LAGOLA!"
"NO NO NO NO NO STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!!!"

"AUGH!!! WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION?!" Sirion howled over Alex's air horn.
He scowled at the ranting thief while Ace took a single step away, shaking the... weird... blue stuff off her hand. Was this supposed to be the troll's blood? Jeez, this guy was a freak. Once Alex had said his piece and stepped aside to talk to Orcana, Sirion continued, "I don't see what the big f***in' deal is! Do we not have priorities here?! I think the god tier murderer who can appear anywhere at anytime is a bigger problem than one lousy parasite!"
"That doesn't mean he's still not a problem!" Ace retorted. "Don't underestimate him! Jack can level an entire city in one afternoon! JUST FOR FUN!"
"Clockwork can destroy an entire MEDIUM in two minutes!"
"That's not the point! The point is that we're in a tight enough fix as it is and Jack is only gonna make it worse!"
"I don't see how that's MY problem!"
"IT'S YOUR PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU LET HIM OUT, YOU IGNORANT MUTT!"
Without warning, Sirion whipped out a crystalline knife (one that would've been oddly familiar to the Thief of Void had he been looking) and pointed it threateningly at Ace. "Listen here, b****, I'm not-!"
Sirion then cut himself off when he saw what was going on between Alex and Orcana... and eventually Lagola. "OKAY WHAT THE S***?!"

"HANDS... OFF..."
He sternly grabbed Orcana's hand. She had fed off of a decent amount of rage, so she had to presume that what was coming from him now was something akin to reason. "... Look, I get it okay? I've had 2 whole YEARS floating in Paradox space to get it... What we did to you wasn't cool. It was never going to be cool. But that doesn't make what you did to US any less uncool by comparison. We bit you, because you bit first-"
Lagola suddenly jumped on Alex's back, nearly knocking him over. "Oof!!! H-hey!! Lagola-!!" He heard Sirion's shout and looked over-
.......................
Th-...............
That knife....
.............
Alex CEASED paying attention to Orcana and walked over to Sirion, his expression cold but... curious.... His enhanced agility stat showed well as the knife suddenly vanished from Sirion's hand and appearing in Alex's... No-one had a quick enough eye to see just how he managed to wrench it away and get it in his own hand.... Never minding Lagola whom dangled from his back, Alex looked the knife over with a keen eye....
It.... Wasn't his imagination....
It was the same knife.
"Sirion.... Where did you get this?"

The fish troll was quick to remove her hand from Alex's face as he moved to see just what dog buoy had. "It yo' fault. I ain't never takin' no responsibility."
And then...
"Laggy! You finally growin' a spine! You tryfin' to stand up t' me?! Hahahaha!!"
What knife Sirion had wasn't important to her. Though she would like her Sualcoin's Squall back.
