[Endgame: rise or DROWN]
[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]
[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]
[Your phone beeps as you receive a message.]

HEARTHSIDE
[Whether you enter Hearthside from the courtyard and come out on the street or from Lantern Cove, coming out of the forest, you see the same thing. Fire and smoke at the top of the hill, where Agnis' house is.]
Re: HEARTHSIDE
[BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER. Akira feels that rumble from Lantern Cove, and being so close, naturally he goes straight back to Agnis's house with presumably Minato in tow]
Shit--!
[WATCH HIM BEELINE RIGHT FOR FOR THAT HOUSE]
no subject
And when they're close enough to be heard: ]
Agnis-san--?!
no subject
And Agnis is on the ground in a heap, propped up against her garden's fence. She's bleeding, holding a hand over her stomach.]
...Akira...Minato....
no subject
[shit shit shit, he already has an idea of who caused this mess. . . but before they get into that, they need to take care of Agnis. in an instant, Akira is at her side, reaching out to touch the wound near her stomach. gently, so as not to hurt her]
H-- hang in there. . . I still don't know how to use this magic, but--
[but maybe. . .? he has to try?? CAN HE USE THE HEALING SPELL AGAIN]
no subject
Wait.
Don't...use your energy on me. You have to...
[She points at the garden. If you look past the smoke, you can see...a staircase. Pointing down.]
...I should've told you before.
I just. Wasn't sure I could trust you yet.
Please. You...have to stop her...
no subject
. . . sorry, but I'm not taking now for an answer. You're an important part of this Palace.
[HE'S GOING TO HEAL HER IF HE CAN, DAMN IT]
no subject
[Agnis closes her eyes. She looks ashamed of herself.]
...both of you, give me your hands. I think. I can do something for you.

Re: HEARTHSIDE
Fire—
[ fuck, not fire ]
Hurry, miss!
/3
I-I'm right behind you!
[The two of you run down the street, towards the hill....]
/actually I think 4 whatever I'll let you know when it's done.
Blue Butterfly has left your inventory.]
Re: HEARTHSIDE
That looks like...that's my house! Agnis...!
[She's about to run towards it when something passes in front of her and she stops. For some reason, she's compelled to stop and look at the blue butterfly that just flew in front of her.
She blinks twice at it...and slowly holds a hand out to it. The butterfly lands on her palm.
The girl's eyes widen. She looks up to see someone running down the street, towards her home.]
Miss...Sprezzatura....?
done
And Agnis, Nessa's older sister, is on the ground in a heap, propped up against her garden's fence. She's doing a little better, thanks to Akira's help, but she clearly has had a bad time.]
Nell....you brought one of them. G...good.
no subject
her chest clenches like there's a hand wrapped around. she releases Nell's hand so she can rush forward to join Agnis at the fence, see if she can help her up. ]
How bad is it?
no subject
I...I'll be fine. Akira helped me already.
[She lets out a breath.]
I lost to Esmau. She. She's gotten stronger. If you don't stop her now....
[She shakes her head. If you look through the smoke above the garden, you can see a staircase leading down.]
You have to stop her, now. I. I can give you something that may help.
Take my hand.
[She reaches a hand out for Sprezzatura.]
no subject
no. no, this won't happen. this isn't just her alone. there's Minato and Akira and this Tsumugi girl—and there's Nessa herself, too. still fighting, or they wouldn't even be here.
Sprezzatura hesitates, but reaches back. ]
no subject
[Sprezzatura, meanwhile, will find herself with an orange shard in her hands. The shard seems to shift in her hands, one second looking like a small shard of glass, the next looking like something else. Either way, it can be placed into her Voidheart.
Name: Wizardly Quill
Description: An enchanted quill, deadlier than any sword in the hands of a seasoned scribe. Spells can be written in its ink and then held in place. Hold your spells until you’re ready for them to make the greatest impact, then use this quill to make the punctuation.
Spark: Vulcan
Facet Slots: 2
Effect:
Instead of casting a spell, it can be written down with Wizardly Quill. This consumes one basic spell cast for the turn.
A spell written by Wizardly Quill can be cast as a free action on a later round. After casting the spell twice, it fades away.]
P...please, hurry.
There's not much time.

Wh....who was that...?
done
And Agnis, Nessa's older sister, is on the ground in a heap, propped up against her garden's fence. She's doing a little better, thanks to Akira's help, but she clearly has had a bad time. She looks Tsumugi up and down and lets out a small huff.]
You look different.
no subject
[Her tone is even, almost meek.]
Sitrep. ...Situational report. Please.
no subject
[She looks down. If you look at the smoke from the staircase, you can see a staircase pointing down.]
You have to stop her....she's almost got her hands on it.
I...you have to go quickly. But. I can give you something that may help, first.
Take my hand.

[Tsumugi meanwhile, will find herself with an orange shard in her hands. The shard seems to shift in her hands, one second looking like a small shard of glass, the next looking like something else. Either way, it can be placed into her Voidhearts.
Name: Ultimate Cosplayer
Description: Thread, needle, brushes, wigs, costumes and, oh yes, the power of a Doppelganger, everything needed to create the perfect cosplay, for you or someone else.

At the start of the round you can select one ally (including yourself) and change their name to one of the following for one round: Junko Enoshima, Ikusaba Muruko, Tsumugi Shirogane, Akira Kurusu, Minato Arisato, Sprezzatura Vaux.
If you change your own name to one of your allies, take 5 damage.]
P...please, hurry.
