- They continue to act as distraction while weakening the noise. - Estinien is cringe. Anyway uses WOOLY JAZZ to create a soundwave to combat the blowback from the wings, and give the party a bit of breathing space. - Marceline uses STYLISH BEAM to freeze the noise chimaera's peets into place. - Who's Garou? - Yams is switching out, but also dragging Garou out of immediate danger as he does. - Damien is tagging in! And using STUCK IN THE MIDDLE to basically cast graviga on their resident noise to weigh it down further. No movement for you.

SCAN TEAM
- Yams is joining Scan Team! - Emet-Selch and Yams are scanning to pry deeper into blorbo and plorbo's thoughts.
[the attack continues to both distract and weaken the noise. with the combination of both wooly jazz and in my misery, the attack team is able to bring the boys down and counter the gust. marceline is able to use stylish beam to plant them in place, but only temporarily.
with the noise on the ground, emet and yasusada can scan to try and pry deeper into the mindset of the chimera. with their combined total of 28, they are able to probe a little deeper and see into the thoughts of blorbo and plorbo.
the message isn’t exactly clear, but they will find they are able to glean two words from the noise:
losing + drowning
the creature struggles now that it’s grounded. it may not last for long, but for now they have a little extra time to persist.]
- Estinien is going to continue parrying the chimaera’s attacks, yelling “Do not drown when all is not lost -- remember what's important to you!” - Marceline is using heliotrope to amplify music as she plays Breaking Free on her axe-bass, singing along with it. - Yams is rejoining combat squad, yelling “Himawari, Riff, you're not fighting alone anymore, everyone in the prism needs you!” as he does.
Estinien 9 / Marceline 5 / Yams 17
SCAN TEAM
- Damien switches back to scan team, and will attempt to imprint home + together. - Emet-Selch will attempt to imprint remember + friends. He will also shout at them “I told you that whatsoever happens, you have support.”
[the ice at their feet begins to melt away, though they can’t quite pull back just yet. as estinien continues the fight, his words cause both heads to turn in his direction, one pair of eyes briefly flashing blue as the other fades to brown for a moment. their attacks pause, almost as if they’re confused.
it’s enough time for yasusada’s words to also reach them as he fights back and keeps them at bay. after a moment, a faint, quiet ripple of a single word in two voices is heard by all of them:
”Everyone…?”
with two sets of words being imprinted, damien and emet have a high enough change together to create a new idea:
Remember your friends, go home together.
the figure finally, finally settles briefly, looking around this city. looking at each other. looking at the group before them.
the canine-esque head in particular turns toward emet, listening to the shouting from the man. the hand on this half shivers, quakes as it reaches out for emet, almost like it's trying to reach for his hand before it seemingly loses control, turning to slam into him and throw him into a nearby building.
the cat-esque head, meanwhile, turns its attention toward marceline’s music, the fingers on its hand twitching slightly as if trying to play along with the song and a very uncertain crackling sound comes from its throat as if to mimic her. however this hand, too, seems to lose control before the hand strikes out, marceline’s axe slashing her in the thigh.
by now though…the creature seems tired…isolated…exhausted from putting up a fight but still attempting to grapple for control.
you have one more chance to help them…or face erasure.]
[ HERE WE GO. Everyone is coming together now in a beautiful synchronised attack, and by attack, I mean everyone is coming together to imprint words upon the noise, while also providing colour. The words being imprinted, colours, and rolls are as follows:
Important Note from Zia: Marceline and Emet-Selch are blasting from the ground, because one just lost a foot and the other one got smashed into a building and no longer has bones. ]
[you’ve done it. you’ve learned a lot on this journey, haven’t you? you’ve learned about each other, you’ve learned how to ask for help, you’ve learned how to team up and you’ve learned how powerful working together can be.
now, here, your words finally sync up as you infuse this wretched creature with your colors, imprint the words onto them, and for a moment everything seems to linger as a sentence is formed in colored, graffiti’d ink hanging in front of them.
Himawari and Riff, heal to remember you’re partners.
the words glimmer for a moment, and a tidal wave rises up higher and higher made up of marine, scarlet, amber, sunrise and heliotrope.
somewhere in your heads, you all hear five voices, all of which may be vaguely familiar from this adventure but two stand out as riff and bass themselves.
”It’s…showtime!”
volleying arrows of light and color soar, piercing through this noise as it falls to its knees. its hands hit the ground, bracing itself before there’s a loud, echoing scream of rage, terror, and anguish as it shatters like stars.
a cloud of color looms over you, blinding you for a brief moment. when it clears, however, you see them. two teenage boys laying on the pavement in front of you, both unconscious…but alive.
