Can't Wake Up

@archiverofveils - I can't wake up for some reason.

@peyton_soul13 - Everything okay Luna?

@archiverofveils - I've been asleep for the past 36 hours straight. I'm speaking to you via Krystal's technology possession Magic. I don't understand why I can't open my eyes. It's not a coma, if it were, this magic would not work.

@peyton_soul13 - Has Hinata tried waking you up? Do you know if anything led up to the possible magical sleep?

@ladyhinata4u - I've tried to wake her up, but nothing works. We felt unnaturally tired at the arcade a few nights ago and then turned around to see Full Moon Syndicate assholes there. She shouldn't be affected by Sloth anymore.

@peyton_soul13 - Perhaps the FMS is affecting her? Maybe there is something on her body that got attached to her while with the FMS? Or maybe they did something that is just now affecting her after this time it took to take effect?

@archiverofveils - {- Hm. Lemme see what I can manage. We assumed FMS pulled some magic shit on her, but the issue is Magic that affects people across veils is extremely rare and costs a lot of mana to use, i.e. a deadly amount. -}

@peyton_soul13 - Maybe it was some ritual? I mean unless it works differently, from what I understand that the more people the less strain on the user and magic?

@ladyhinata4u - Hmmm... lemme see here.. what is this? There's something stuck to her neck?

@peyton_soul13 - What? What is it?

@ladyhinata4u - Kind of looks like a transmi--

@archiverofveils - {- Shit, Hinata's knocked out. -}

@peyton_soul13 - Did she just touch it? What happened?

@archiverofveils - {- Ughhhhh why are her muscles cramping up??? I can't... rea... i felt it.. fucking... feels electronic. -}

@peyton_soul13 - Perhaps it is fighting back?

@archiverofveils - {- Unsure. Both Lu and Hina's mana pools are drained. Regeneration is stalled. They are stuck. -}

@peyton_soul13 - Need me to come and try? Or would I meet the same fate?

@archiverofveils - {- I do not know. I can use the little bit of my remaining mana to teleport into the forest if that helps. -}

@peyton_soul13 - That would be helpful. Thank you.

@archiverofveils - {- Casting Fast Travel now. Please look for the red beacon of light. -}

@peyton_soul13 - Found it.

[Location Tag - The Woods outside of Luna and Cole's house.]

Luna and Hinata appear in the forest. A shining beacon of light erupts from the pair, colored red. Think like a searchlight. They are both seemingly on fire, but it's just an aura. It does not hurt to touch.

Violet appears in her more human like form, looking to Luna and Hinata with worry on her face "Oh boy... now letโ€™s see here." Violet gets to work, searching for the transmitter on the neck. With Luna on ground laying on her stomach, it's rather easy to find. A small black electronic device shaped like a spider, it is quite literally a bug in the most general sense. On the top, a small logo that says FMS. It seems to be glowing a little bit.

Violet summons a pair of gloves and puts them on, just in case, as she grabs the electronic device and quickly yanks it off. The bug releases from her neck with a spark of electricity, the glow is gone as well. On further inspection, it seems to have a little bit of blood on it. Luna and Hinata's red glowing beacon dims almost immediately after it sparks. The fiery hyperfocus aura dims.

Violet quickly applies some bandages to Luna's neck to stem the bleeding then wakes them up. "Luna! Hinata! You guys okay?"

On shaking Luna and Hinata, they both wake up though groggy. "Ugh.. five more minutes jane... wait, your not jane... v-violet?" Luna mutters. Seems she's still out of it.

Hinata is actually able to open her eyes, however. "Whoa, you look amazing! And uh, thank you for the assist." This is the first time they've seen Violet since the Meridian Apocalyptic Incident ended so abruptly.

"It's no problem. Are you two gonna be okay?" Violet asks and points towards the device, "and what do you want me to do with this? It doesn't seem to affect me, though I did have gloves on. That's not the point." The bug is dead. The glow and sparks of electricity have died out ever since it was disconnected.

"I should be okay. Mana regeneration is going well, and as for that.. thing. Uhm, i'm gonna ask if you could throw it away for me? I don't like spiders." Luna has her eyes open, and they're rather wide due to her innate arachnophobia. She seems to be wide awake once more. "Also sick new form Violet, kinda missed the human... ish you!"

Krystal note: Luna is referring to how Violet used to have some corvine attributes due to being an Envy demon during the Incident.

"Hm? Oh thanks! Thank Angie for teaching me how to do that. It turns out I can take any form, but depending on my familiarity with it, it's easier. So this humanized form is super easy for me." Violet explains with a soft smile, then goes to place the Bug into her bag for evidence, but it disappears the moment Violet touches it. "I'll get rid of it, but knowing me I'll try and dismantle it to see how it works. Aww dammit!"

Hinata growls, "I'm gonna be honest, I fuckin hate the full moon syndicate. I hope Shining Darkness hurt them! Enjoy that Blindna!

Luna gets up on her two feet rather unsteadily and accidentally falls in Hinata's arms. "Gods above, I hate mana drain."

Violet seems disappointed that the bug disappeared, but then she tilts her head, "blindna? What's that?"

Hinata chuckles, "it's a status condition, just think blinding. When we were surrounded by FMS at the arcade, I blinded them temporarily using my Light magic in a dark room. Think of it as being on stage in an otherwise dark theater and then someone using flash photography directly into your eyes. It hurts like hell and it's a useful distraction."

Violet nods and notes that, "Got it, and pardon my lack of upkeep and knowledge but why has FMS been so aggressive lately?"

Luna shrugs, "Beats me honestly. Maybe they finally got their act together and want to be an asshole to us, either that or they have other plans. Frankly I just want to live with my friends in peace. This whole chaotic world saving thing with enemies on all sides attacking ain't for me."

Hinata puts a hand on Luna's shoulder, "I'm not gonna let those assholes take you, and I know for a fact that our friends will help too.

Violet nods in agreement, giving her a vote of support, "I'll try my best to help as I can.

Hearing that she's not alone, Luna smiles slightly and responds with, "Thanks. I admit, I miss having fur a lot. It's been hard to cope. Sloth form felt natural to me." She's notably in her humanized form and seemingly cannot return to being furry. "Anyway, I think we should head back home. Last thing we need is an enemy investigating the bright red beacon and then finding us." Hinata nods and pats Luna's head, rubbing near THE POINT which causes Luna's tail to sway actively.

"I'll probably stay here a little longer. It's been nice to get out and about, perhaps this forest is what I need to focus for my tasks." Violet grins and sits near one of the trees.

"Alright, if you need us for anything, you know how to contact us." Hinata smiles before the two of them disappear.
