[Maya's Heart]
[Everything goes white, almost blindingly, as you enter Eveningstar's heart.... it's so overwhelming that you forget, for a moment, what you're doing, why you're here, and details about yourself start to slip---]

Re: UPDATE 1
Eveningstar, what happened to you?
Re: UPDATE 1
Hey, are you alright? ...Both of you?
Re: UPDATE 1
I'm fine, no harm done. But I have no idea what happened to Eveningstar here.
Re: UPDATE 1
[But those items don't feel 'right', for some reason]
I.... Nothing's working!
Re: UPDATE 1
She was like this when you got here, huh...I'm guessing whatever did this is probably nearby, too.
[ Looking around to see if she can spot anything...whether a monster or something that looks like it's not "working." ]
Re: UPDATE 1
[ But setting that aside for now. ]
Likely. There has to be something here that can help us. What were you trying that didn't work, Eveningstar?
Re: UPDATE 1
I... I have to free them! But nothing's working!
Re: UPDATE 1
What have you tried so far? I'm sure there's got to be some way to stop this...
Re: UPDATE 1
[ also going to see if i can actually wield that sword...as much as I really don't want to, if it comes to violence, swords are better than no swords, even if they are evil soul-sucking ones. ]
Re: UPDATE 1
I've been fighting them! Trying to distract them! I can't think of another plan...!
Re: UPDATE 1
[ Trying to think up alternatives, though. ]
If we could try taking them on one at a time, that would make it less dangerous...or if we could find weak points...
Re: UPDATE 1
[ tbh having it be wood is more a relief than a disappointment. though she's going to examine it closely... ]
Re: UPDATE 1
[There's a particularly pained cry, and Eveningstar looks anxious]
Okay! I'll be the distraction! You two fight!
Re: UPDATE 1
Do you have any other weapons we could use, Eveningstar? I don't think I'm much of a brawler...
Re: UPDATE 1
[ Would it do any of the mystical ~soul connecting~ things it normally does when she's around the real one...or is it just like holding glowing wood? ]
And I don't want you to get hurt any more, Eveningstar. Be careful.
Re: UPDATE 1
[If they both concentrate enough, they find that they can shoot beams with their weapons]
I don't have anything at all! But I can't just sit back and watch them---!
[And she'll start rush off, whoops]
Re: UPDATE 1
...Crap, guess that means we've got to get moving, too.
[ Starting to head toward the chaos as well, but keeping a close grip on her bracelet with the opposite hand - it's her "weapon", after all. ]
Re: UPDATE 1
[ Heading that way too, holding the sword a little awkwardly because all of her good sword skills are locked away...also it's a huge sword, so that doesn't help. ]
Re: UPDATE 1
[And that all of those things are converging on Star before she can even reach the rest, who are all in pretty bad shape]
[Think fast!]
Re: UPDATE 1
[ ....And then arriving to a pretty crappy situation. Well then.
Grabbing her bracelet tightly, aiming for one of the creepy things, and seeing if she can't...use it somehow...before Star gets even more hurt. ]
Re: UPDATE 1
[ And she'll be screaming to catch their attention. ]
O'thul, rasshore'a!
[ Look at me, you losers. '-' ]
Re: UPDATE 1
[A couple of them turn their attention to Nightshade, but Nyssa is standing above one of the prone prisoners with a huge glass shard]
No! Stop!
Re: UPDATE 1
Trying to keep an eye on the ones near Nightshade to make sure she doesn't need rescuing at any point, afterward. ]
Re: UPDATE 1
[UN... fortunately... Eveningstar just got stabbed in defense of one of the prisoners]
Re: UPDATE 1
Okay now let's just shoot at anything near Star for a bit since...that's an issue. ]
