Warden Time!

[magicalsplashflare]

Who: Mamika + The Warden Crew! (This could be you!!!)
What: Talking to the Warden
When: Beginning of May
Where: The Forest
Warnings: Will be in the header as they come up

[ Neo Eden is officially gone and everyone is back in the Grove, and Mamika, of course, has been planning her trip to the Forest all last month. She has...a LOT of things prepared. Food and blankets and extra clothes and lanterns and even stuff like hand fans and wilderness books. Overprepped and ready to go! The afternoon before, Mamika writes a message in the notebook. ]

Everyone, please sleep well! Please meet up with me by the well in the morning if you want to talk to the Mister Hooldin.

[ Warden. She's doing her best.

Regardless, she put together a bunch of packs with said stuff shoved in them, and Mamika is handing all of them off to people who show up with a little smile. She's still in her school outfit, but her magical wand is out. She probably intends to transform before they actually go out into the woods. Understandably. ]

Okay! Um... so... I'm not really sure what to expect out there! But... we're gonna do our best to talk to him and hopefully convince him to come to the Grove. Someone might have to talk to Miss Mooselady, too, because I don't think they like each other that much, but... um!! I think we can do this!

We should still have things planned in case things go horribly wrong, though...

[-Joshua seems fine, now that he's been freed of his vines. Secure the healers, that's priority when the danger has spiked up exponentially. Having been on a quest like this with Joshua before, he's not as worried about him. He's an adult etc etc. Once he's sure he's fine, he does head after Oscar-]

[But then Mamika's state catches his attention. Joshua might be their main healer, but Dipper learned from Pure Vanilla, too. He knows he can help. He runs straight for her only to just barely catch what she's about to do.]

[Ah, he's at the wrong angle to really dodge. This is probably going to hurt.]

[Dipper gets blown straight back from the blast, rip in heck anyone in his way.]

[ So the thing is, Remnant has prepared Oscar for a lot of weirdness. But one of the few weird things people on Remnant don't do is call out their attacks. (Code names for team attacks are different.)

So Mamika shouts, and there's an explosion, and Dipper goes flying, and then Dipper smashes into Oscar, and it all happens to fast that Oscar doesn't quite manage to get his Aura up in time. So he goes down with a heavy, painful thud—hopefully not on Stephanie. No vocalization whatsoever, though!

Not because he's just that tough. It's because he gets the wind knocked out of him and can't breathe at all for a few seconds there. ]

[ Only partly on Stephanie. She managed to not get completely flattened by the explosion or lose her grip on the staff, so she's calling this a win! Even if her butt aches from falling on it and it's hard to see. ]

sorry I didn't realize I posted this outside of the thread, it's been...a week

[While everyone else is just out here eating shit, Wolfwood, miraculously, does manage to avoid the explosion. Of course, this does mean he needs to practically dive head-first into the deck to get out of the way, but he'll escape the blast with a rush of wind from the impact over his head and not much more.

Cursing, he quickly struggles back to his feet, his head whipping around as he tries to sight out what Mamika just shot at, but it appears to be...nothing? At least, she definitely didn't aim towards the thorns, or anything else attacking them...and he doubts she'd attack the Warden when she wants to try to leverage a peaceful engagement here.

So...despite his usual inclinations to just rush in guns blazing, he'll hold up both hands and start to approach Mamika, slowly.]

Mamika...it's me, Wolfwood. You're alright...it's alright. Careful where you point that thing, yeah...?

[ By the Founder--

Joshua is very nearly satisfied with Bakugo's healing, but what is happening nearby startles him into losing his focus. His instinct is to toss up a ward, but there's no time. Dipper is already getting blasted, and he can't reach him in time. ]

Dipper!

[ Damn. Damn. He gives Bakugo a quick once over, then turns to rush to check on Dipper and Mamika. If Bakugo needs more healing after, he can do that. But the worst of it should be fine now. ]

[nitrotempered]

[ It's in this moment Katsuki realizes how unprepared they are for this mess - at least to him, who has had at least a year's worth of professional training. Able to work alongside others a bit better than when he first started, knowing how to adapt to an array of different abilities on the fly. From his point of view, it felt like he was working alongside civilians reacting and not acting on measured instances - himself included, as his eyes wandered over to his boy problems.

The explosion surprises him, considering it comes out as a bright pink heart, and he backs away enough to avoid its blast, but not enough that he finds himself fumbling to stay standing. He adjusts, though, quickly rushing forward to stand in the way of where Mamika had just landed. ]

Blondie with the stick, on me - let's go! [ Meaning to take front point alongside him, so if anything comes for Mamika, Dipper, Oscar, and Wolfwood trying to get to Mamika - well, it'll go through them first. Hopefully, the forest is whacky as fuck. ]

Oi, medic guy & old man, [ Joshua & Wolfwood ] - heal the girl up, if she means to do what she wanted in the first place. She better get her ass up fast and get her fuckin' shit together, or this is turning into a fight.

[ A beat. ]

Also, who the hell fought this thing before - where the fuck is it? [ He knows its Dipper, but, he doesn't remember his name.... ]

[sticksandbonesmods]

Wouldn't you like to know, sweat boy.

[magicalsplashflare]

[ Mamika hears the explosion, but her illusions are still haunting her as if nothing had happened, which causes even more panic. Even if she can hear voices around her that are familiar and comforting.

'I don't wanna die,' just repeats in her head. She was supposed to be better at this... ]

I-I'm not alright...! It hurts! [ She hasn't tried to remove the thorns at all. She's doesn't want it to hurt her more, so it's going to be on someone else to help her with that. ]

[kingincognito]

[ If it isn't Bakugo's words that push him into action, Mamika's certainly do. Joshua can see from here that her wounds are badly in need of healing, to say nothing of whatever toxin those thorns contain. First Bakugo, and now her... ]

Please stay still, Lady Mamika.

[ He keeps his voice soft, even, and soothing as he approaches, the healing light of his magic already lit on his fingers. Removal of the thorns is important for proper healing, and so he will do that first, while channeling his magic through his hands to ease the pain of it. ]

This will hurt for a moment, but you will be all right. I promise. Just stay calm for me.

[ghostharasser]

[Yeah, that fucking hurt. He sure didn't mean to take out Oscar and like, part of Stephanie out in the process either. If he weren't built a little tougher being a Sleeper, he might have seriously busted something.]

[He's still stunned to all hell, though and it takes him a moment to realize he flattened Oscar too.]

Fuck.

[He will roll off of him now, coughing a bit. Urgh. He's fine don't even look at him.]

[ichoosefight]

Right behind you, Bakugo!

[ She rolls to her feet, but stops first to check on Dipper and Oscar. ]

Are you guys okay?

[nitrotempered]

[ While everyone is doing things and Stephanie is his back up - he answers the voice with a grouchy snap like a kid who heard someone talking shit about them - ]

WHO SAID THAT!?!? [ He also is looking around. ]

[lupusxylem]

[As Joshua appears and starts to heal Mamika, he'll shuffle a step back, his expression tightening. He feels...useless here, because he can't use magic to help ease Mamika's suffering, and he doubts she'd let him come close if he tried to just start removing thorns without any way to soothe the pain like Joshua can do.

He's not a doctor or a healer though, so instead he'll turn his attention to her after a pause, keeping his voice low and measured despite her obvious panic.]

I know. I know it hurts. We're gonna help you, just try not to move.

[ozmosis]

[ To Dipper and Steph's attempts to check on him, Oscar simply gives them a shaky thumbs up and then pushes himself upright. He's wheezing a little, but at least he's finally actually breathing again. ]

[ghostharasser]

[What a fucking Loony Tunes-Ass Mess this turned into. He's going to help Oscar sit up.]

Hang on, I know a little healing. Not as good as Joshua but it should help, hold still.

[He also learned from Pure Vanilla and ...well, for hilariously complicated reasons its going to be especially potent on Oscar, and Oscar alone. HAHA...]

[To Bakugo-]

Wolfwood and I have, and we fought it with the power of my 12-gauge shot gun and the crazy proton canon Wolfwood keeps in his giant fuck-off cross.
