Yang was walking over to her gauntlets before sighing. "He has a point..." she offered as she put them in bracelet mode and back on her wrists. "I really don't want to see people get hurt..."

"Aww, well I didn't mean to hurt anyone!" Rainflower sweetly insisted, complete with a finger to their chin. "It's just been a while since my babies got out, got some fresh air, had some fun! You know how it is! Give those little cuties an inch and they'll take a mile, if ya catch my cold!"
They then shrugged and set the vile they were carrying next to the bubbling cauldron. "But hey, if things are getting too hot to hoot, far be it from me not to lend a hand!"
With that said, Rainflower flew back over to the fridge, threw it open and once again dug deep inside it in search of the aflutterfly cure. "So what else can I do ya for?"

.... THIS WAS GOING ASTONISHINGLY BETTER THEN HE THOUGHT IT WOULD... Okay, keep cool.
"Well... There is the matter of whatever's happened to Cat now that she's in that other form of hers..." After a moment, he takes notice of something. "BUT I MEAN, YOU'RE ALREADY HELPING US OUT SO MUCH RIGHT NOW SO... Maybe if you just tell us how to cure that particular affliction we might be able to handle it on our own? Many of us are pretty good with our hands and I know at least one person who's good with magic we could ask for help."
Okay, hint dropped, now back to the other topic. "But before that, about the Aflutterflies... How exactly will this cure work? They've spread to such a point that just curing one of them won't be near enough. So how WILL this work? Spread it to the winds? Put it in a local watering hole? Mix it with the plumbing and just let it loose?" He notes Yang's look. "Different movies handle contagions very differently. I'm just making sure I know EXACTLY what it is I'm doing with this cure."

Even Yang was amazed at how well Rainflower was handling this. "Yeah. We're grateful for your help, Rainflower. Really." she offered with a small chuckle.

"Ah! Well, my candy potions are designed to wear off in twenty-four hours, but if you wanna cut to the chase, yeah, a simple transmutation spell oughta do the trick! THERE YOU ARE!" Rainflower pulled themself out of the fridge with a bottle of watery, dull grey liquid in hand. They then snapped their fingers and went right back inside.
"As for the aflutterflies..." they continued, "...all ya gotta do is get 'em to come in contact with this jam and boom-bam! How ya wanna go about that is up to you! Doesn't matter what state it's in, whether ya wanna make it rain on 'em, gas 'em with it, any which way, it'll fix 'em just fine! Now where did I put that...?"

Yeaaaah... The Thief of Void should've known that something that wide-spread would take something a BIT more specialized.... The only question was what exactly...
Off the top of his head, he could recall a family of monsters, but none of them knew how to create a gas that could spread the cure across the island. Prishe also came to mind, but her knowledge of magic was limited at best. She was much more the Pugnacious pugilist then anything else. Lizzie had no powers whatsoever, and Erin would've been just as useless on this as he was. Team RWBY? Great as they were, they couldn't change the weather.
.....
He then remembered the person Cat had been chasing after before...
".... Yang... Didn't you say that Rio was the mage among our friends with Evan and the others?" He snapped his fingers. "Looks like Cat had the right idea. We're gonna need to cure Rio first, THEN work on curing the rest of the population." He looked to Rainflower. "How much of that cure could we give to ONE aflutterfly before it takes affect? We should try not to use too much on the one so we'll have plenty left for the others."

"I did," she offered as she watched the pair chat. The brawler blinked. "I don't mean to insult but what hair dye do you use for that rainbow effect or is that your natural hair?"

"If you're just curing one of those little fellas, all ya need is one drop!" Rainflower answered before poking their head out. With their face in full view, they smirked and raised an eyebrow at Yang's question, running their fingers through their cyan pixie cut. "Oh, that? It just does that."
Pushing aside any thoughts of their hot pink hair, Rainflower stepped away from the fridge and smiled at the two flasks in their hand, one containing the dull grey liquid, one a green and blue swirled fluid. They fluttered back up to Alex, dropped the bottles into his hands and closed his fingers around them. "Well, here ya be! Grey one's the cure, blue and green one will make the natural aflutterflies come flying home to me!"
Rainflower then rested their chin in their hands, their wide eyes meeting Alex's. "So now that you've asked me some questions, you mind if I ask you some?"

....... Uh... Oh boy... This could... POTENTIALLY BE BAD... Okay Alex, don't panic, just let her ask her questions. Answer them the best you can and let's just move on.
Still, what could a flighty little thing like Rainflower ask him?
"Uh.... Okay... B-but do keep in mind that we're on a bit of a tight schedule here... We shouldn't spend too long down here, not when the universe is in danger of getting Aflutterfly-ized." .... He gently handed the blue green vial to Yang, and magicked out a marker to mark the cure with the letters 'AC' (For Aflutterfly cure), then listened to Rainflower's question as traded the vials with Yang to mark the next vial with 'AB' (For Aflutterfly be-gone.)

Please don't get too bad, Yang thought as she tucked the vials away. She was careful not to smudge the writing.

"Are you a void user?!" Rainflower immediately asked, jabbing a finger in Alex's chest right where his aspect symbol was situated. "I mean, you got the void emblem and this fancy blue getup going on, and you have this, like... pure nothingness surrounding you! So can you control void?! Huh?!"

.................. Uuuuuuhhhhhhhh-  Okay... He could understand Rainflower figuring out he was a Void user by his natural lack of presence and any of his abilities prior..... What he COULDN'T understand was what had cemented the question was the aspect symbol on his chest and the color of his clothes. Did.... Did Rainflower... KNOW about the game?? And if she did.... 'How- Where- Why- ?' ...... "Yyyyyyyyyesss-?" The thief drawled, confusion only mounting. "Buuuuuuuut, how would you know I'm one by my clothes and the symbol I wear? I thought the significance of this symbol only had meaning in the game I got it from." |

Yang froze. "That is a good question..." she offered trying to remain calm.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...!!!" Rainflower held their chest until their laughter slowed, at which point they took a deep breath and looked back up at Alex with playful amusement. "Buddy, I get around! I have seen some stuffs! When you're jumping from universe to universe, ya gotta know a thing or two about that infinite blank space separating all the big ol' squatters floating around out there! And even if that weren't the case..."
Rainflower leaned in closer, speaking coyly and directly into Alex's ear, "Folks where I come from... they got a natural affinity for..."
All of a sudden, Rainflower disappeared in a cloud of green sparkles. It quickly dispersed, revealing that they were still hovering a mere few inches from Alex's ear and had been reduced to the size of an aflutterfly.
"...MAGIC... if ya couldn't tell. And some of 'em have mastered the most basic, primal forces of reality. One of those forces just so happens to be denoted by those swirls ya got on your cute little shirt. Despite the form it takes, it's not as unknown as you might think."
The tiny fairy floated up to Alex's eye level.
"Void's a funny thing, ain't it? Its existence is a bit of a conundrum. It is very much something that exists, and yet it is in and of itself nothing. I just can't help but find it fascinating." Green sparkles once again shimmered around their form. "To truly master void is to find potential where there should logically be none. To find that balance between lack and purpose. Not so easy, now, is it? After all, answer me this..."
The sparkles clung to them, turning their form a bright, luminescent green. When the light faded, Rainflower's physical form dissolved into a gaseous cloud with holes where their mouth and eyes once were.
"How does one be simultaneously SOMETHING and NOTHING?"
Then, without warning, the sentient puff of fog shot up Alex's nose. After a prolonged, uncomfortable couple of seconds, no doubt filled with plenty of panic and disgust on the thief and fighter's part, Rainflower's voice echoed inside Alex's head, calm and polite, not unlike a nurse. "Turn and cough, please~!"

"!?!?!?!? WAAAAAAAGH-!!!!" Almost instantly, the thief of Void started hacking and coughing. "WH-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU-?!?!? COFF CAFF!!! OUT!!! PLEASE GET OU- WOOOOOOOGH-!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE!!?!?!?!?"
He's struggling to cough the maniacal little pixie out, looking close to coughing out a lung. "OUT!!! COFF!!! OUT YA LITTLE MANIAC OUT!!!!"
