"Sure, Red. I guess I won't call you Paul then. No need to be all personal about it," Orin relented with a shrug. She jumped down the stairs the moment she noticed her precious cart. She then looked around at the crypt full of coffined bodies lying around the place. Well, that was pretty convenant for the corpse stealing cat. Now she just needed to "borrow" these bodies and get out of here.

She was about to move to do just that when her feline vision picked up on moving shadows in the dark. Yep, it was never that easy, was it? One shadow went right for her but the youkai jumped out of the way and onto a large coffin in the center of the room. Unfortunately, Pauline lacked any capability to see through the darkness and thus could not notice the split second the shadow passed through the light for her. Ecolo had a similar issue with not paying enough attention as one creeped up on him too. And a split second a large blob of shadow completely consumed them and plunged them into voids of complete and unpenetratable darkness. The shadows needing some great willpower to break out of.

(Ecolo and Pauline! The shadows have consumed you into complete darkness. You are unable to move or see what is going on until you break free. Additionally the shadows do 8% damage each turn you spend trapped. Roll a 15 or higher in STR to break free.)

Meanwhile Orin looked back and noticed her comrades were not as cautious or aware as she was. "You know, there is better times to play with shadows, right? This is no place to be blinded by the shadows. After all, would not want to carry three trophies out, would I?~" Orin said almost too cheerfully.

Then she turned around again as she heard only something she could hear. "Oh, hi Bogmire!~ Did not mean to intrude or anything. Just you kind of took my cart and I figured I should take interest!~" Orin replied to the spirit who did not even seem to speak. "Oh, those guys? Something about a rescue. Anyway, if you are really going to be vengeful I guess I could use a trophy for a new spell I need to try out!~" Orin replied once again.

At the end of their talk a purple creature emerged out of the darkness... From their conversation one might assume he is not here for a friendly chat with the ghost cat.

Eventually as the group walk further down the stairs, Orin said that she'll stop calling Pauline red and said to not get too personal about It, Pauline shrugged uncomfortable as the group walked further Into the darkness...Unfortunately that was when the darkness grabbed them. "What, something grabbed us!" Pauline said as she struggled to break free, during this time Orin said not play around with shadows as Pauline struggled to get free.

"That's because were not...Me and Ecclo are trapped!"

ml7E_tqZp_1d20-2(Almost Pauline, almost.)

Unfortunately Pauline couldn't escape and got hurt, she even sunk further Into the darkness as she struggled to get free.

"I...Gotta break free!"

Pauline was unaware of Bogmire's appearance due to her current situation as well.

Ecolo kept looking around until he felt something pushed him down. NOW he was actually plunged into darkness. Ecolo didn't look...surprised at all. He overheard Orin's comment, to which Ecolo chuckled. "Sure! As long as I can break free of this prison of darkness!" He commented lightly before he tried to struggle against the shadowy prison.

cjT7Um2Np_1d20(Ecolo's struggle.)

Unlike Pauline, Ecolo managed to break free. Just in time to see the boss, too! "Howdy do, ya creepy shadow! Say, I didn't exactly like your imprisonment attack thing. I don't mind myself wanting to retaliate, but I wonder if you would!" Ecolo said as he prepared a fireball.

"Liar!" Ecolo chanted as he threw a fireball at Bogmire.

The blob went on to continue the attacking as he fired two more diamond-shaped bullets.

While the shadows continued to absorb Pauline and cast her into darkness, Ecolo managed to break free of the darkness. Orin made no move to help Pauline as she was  not sure what to do about that... Nor did it paticularly matter much anyway to the cat girl. Right now she only really cared about capturing this ghost for her magic research into undead creations.

Ecolo's Liar managed to hit him but the boggy creature sunk into the ground before the Danmaku Bullets could hit and appearing right in front of Orin's coffin. The ghastly creature made to punch the girl but she nimbly jumped out of the way and to the floor. He wasted no time to resink into the ground to prepare a counter attack. In the next moment he reappeared right behind Ecolo and let out a deafening scream and whacking him in the back of the head to try and stun him.

(Ecolo! Bogmire is trying to Mega Spook you! Roll a 15 or higher to ignore it with INT. Failing results in 15% damage and a 30% chance to stun you until his next attack lands)

Bogmire then moved his mouth above Ecolo. In a swift movement the creature brought his head down and engulfed him swiftly if he did not move. Though he would not leave him in the pink muk for long before teleporting again to leave himself vulnerable in the middle of the room. Meanwhile, Ecolo... seemed to be munching on some kind of grotesque looking meat while Bogmire was attacking her ally.

(Ecolo! Bogmire is trying to engulf you! Roll a 10 or higher to dodge it if you managed to not get stunned by the spook. Getting hit deals 12% damage and inflicts Sickness 100% of the time)

Orin finished eating her meat after the mukky blob ghost teleported again. She wasted no time in firing a Danmaku Bullet to catch him. She then followed up with her sign attack: "Malicious Spirit: {Spleen Eater!}" The cat girl called and the exploding of a Kamikaze spirit happened right next to the Bogmire that blew chunks of gunk all over the place but he quickly reformed.

The Fairy tried to assist but failed in hitting him as his body twisted out of the way. "Well, I got to go. See you later, Orin!~" The Zombie Fairy stated before vanishing in sparkles of light. "... He is asking you what fear is," Orin abruptly stated to Ecolo... The ghost definitely did not seem to say anything. Was she just making it up or was there voices only she heard right now? "For a product of fear and despair, this guy sure does not seem to understand. Tried to explain it to him a little while ago and he just won't get it," Orin added with a shrug further implying she was already familiar with the residents of this graveyard.

Pauline meanwhile Is still struggling to get out of the darkness, unlike Ecclo who managed to escape and help Orin In battle. "I'll be out soon." Pauline said to the two as she tried to escape the darkness, If not then she's going to be In trouble, but she didn't want to use the H word, especially around Ecclo or Orin.

"Come on Pauline, you can escape this."


ISUIvG|kp_1d20-2(Nope.)

And she was still stuck.

"Oh gosh...This will probably lead to my demise...In this mission."

Ecolo found himself screaming in terror as Bogmire suddenly jumped on him. One could even see his core-looking thing let out some sparks as it flailed around. Then he took a deep breath. "Hey! Don't do this again! This isn't fun!" He scolded the big mass of shadows that was going to eat him.

...Oh.

p_1d20+2(Ecolo's faildodge.)
p_1d20(Sickness duration.)

Ecolo couldn't react in time and soon got eaten by Bogmire. He got spit out soon enough, but he stumbled around, looking a bit more deflated than usual.

"...Hey...anybody got a medicine? I'm not feeling well..." Ecolo commented, his voice sounding more nasally.

...That lasted for about 2 seconds as he shot himself back into high spirits, despite now being sick. "Well, that was something. Now I should get to work!" He said as he quickly cast Liar once again "Li--ACHOO!" he tried to chant, but sneezed in the middle of it. The fireball came out just fine, though.

The darkness continued to consume Pauline. The darkness completely surrounded her vision... And the worst part was that it was getting stronger now as it consumed more and more of her mind. It was getting harder to think and the shadows surrounding her were getting stronger. The drain the shadows had on her was slowly getting stronger and would consume her completely if she did not hurry in breaking free.

(The Shadow Consume on Pauline has gotten stronger. She now takes 16% damage everytime she fails to break free. Roll to break free stays the same.)

Bogmire called down a bolt of lightning onto Orin and Ecolo meanwhile. He managed to dodge the sneezed out Liar Spell as well it seemed. The bolt looked powerful as he went into the shadows. Orin was stung by the lightning bolt and sent flying back. Bogmire reappeared and tried to punch Orin but she flipped back and evaded.

(Ecolo and Orin! Bogmire is trying to smite you with lightning! Roll a 14 or higher to evade the Shadow Flash. Failure results in 22% damage.)

"Um, Ecolo, I really think you answer him on what fear is. I mean, he is seeming serious. I never seen him so riled up. Must be a bad day," Orin shrugged when suddenly Bogmire stared her in the eyes. Orin stared back for a moment before her usually cheerful expression changed. Some form of fear and horror appeared on her face as it seems like she just saw something absolutely horrific. Her normally cute and hyper personality faded for a moment as she fell. She almost looked like she was about to cry for some reason. There was no telling what occurred to her as it appeared Bogmire transmitted something into her mind that made her temporarily in shock.

Pauline struggled to escape the darkness as she tried to reach towards Orin and Ecclo...But she cant, and was starting to feel worse at being In the darkness for so long, she has to escape, the only question Is, how? She struggled and tried again. "Come on Pauline...You can do this, If not then your done for!" Pauline thought to herself as she tried to escape one more and join her mission partners.


_qdBUqcNp_1d20-2(Annd...She's going to be stuck here for awhile.)

As the darkness continued to swallow her, Pauline yelled out loud near Orin and Ecclo.

"Is this the untimely end of Pauline M---

However before Pauline could finish saying her full name, the darkness covered the rest of what she said...She was still stuck and things were getting worse.

OFGWKrAfp_1d20+2(Ecolo's Shadow Flash dodge.)

Ecolo managed to see the lighting coming up his way, and skillfully dodged it, despite being sick. He weakly chuckled. "Whew, that's what a close one." He commented to himself as Orin kind of pressurized him to tell Bogmire what was fear. He thought to himself all the while Orin was apparently having her mind tortured. He then turned to Bogmire, his face serious for a moment.

"...Hey, creepy shadow thing. I dunno why you wanna know what fear is, but I'll try to explain...because I'm not too sure myself. Fear is that feeling you get when you feel endangered and you don't think you can fight back. Everything in your body goes off in alarm, inciting you to run. ...Ya see what Orin looks like right now? That's fear." Ecolo tried to explain...all the while he cast Fake Speech on Bogmire.

Bogmire got blasted by Ecolo's Magic and flew back a bit in pain from the blows. He was getting worn down by these attacks but still was fully capable. He turned into a ghastly pool of liquid that swirled around both Orin and Ecolo and attempted to strike them with it's liquid and stench. It reformed before staring at Ecolo for a moment...

(Ecolo! Bogmire is trying to hit you with his bog pool! Roll a 14 or higher to dodge. Getting hit results in 16% damage)

Orin was unable to dodge as she was still recovering and was swept up and flew back. Kind of similar to the trap Pauline was still stuck in but not helpless. She wiped her eyes before standing up, taking a deep breath and sighing. "Good job, Ecolo. Looks like you calmed him down for a bit!~ Now he should be less aggressive! Good job!~" Orin said as she prepared her spells to add to his damage.

Orin held her hand in the air and called forth her magic and command of the dead. "Atonement! Needle Mountain of a Former Hell!" Orin called once more. At the Youkai's command, a horde of ghosts appeared and attacked Bogmire aggressively who tried desperately to shake them off. "Malicious Spirit: Spleen Eater!" The cat girl finished as one last ghost appeared and exploded onto Bogmire and knocked him around some more.

Pauline was still struggling, facing the truth, she must use the H word yet again If Orin and Ecclo wanted to help her, although she hated It and never used It for a very long time, she didn't want to be seen as weak or a burden to the two, but In this situation, she might as well say It. "Guys...I need help, quickly!" Pauline called out towards the two as she spoke again.

Trying to break free but couldn't.

"I mean, If you don't help me your going to struggle even more with this, don't you want tiny robots helping you deal damage to whatever's attacking you two?"

Instead of the customary dodge, Ecolo made an indigo shield envelop him in order to sustain it's damage. Thankfully, the shield did not break, though it shrunk a bit. As he waved the shield off, he turned to Bogmire. Hm...was there a good move this guy had that he could use...? Before anything though, addressing Pauline.

"I'd love to help you, but this guy isn't giving me a break!" He yelled at the ground, hoping to get the message across. "You should've gone to the gym and pumped up those muscles, Paulinny! Or the dice hates you, I dunno! Now lemme get back into business!"

"Liar!" He tried to shoot another fireball...

xm|1WSWsp_1d20+2(Ecolo's Liar. 7% damage.)

...and sadly missed. However, this brought him a good reminder of a move that Bogmire had used on him before! It could help him out! Bringing the jumpscare back into his memory, he focused his efforts and had now one perfect imitation of it.

"Have a taste of your own medicine!"

Ecolo suddenly came close to Bogmire and screamed the exact same scream Bogmire attacked him with a few posts ago.

p_1d20+2(Ecolo's Copy: Bogmire's Mega Spook. Targets INT, deals 15% damage and has 30% chance of stunning).

but unfortunately, that missed too. He was kinda nimble, spoookyyyy. Ecolo flew back to gain some distance from it. "Whew, wonder when he's just gonna give up..."

Bogmire dodged Ecolo's tricks with his quick reflexes. Where those would not help him though is  when Ecolo mimicked his scream. The intense confusion from the mimick caused him to take damage but not much was accomplished. Orin put a hand on her hip and looked back to the screaming Pauline. "I am going to help Red. You keep him busy Eco," Orin instructed before running past Ecolo. As she did so, Bogmire popped up in front of him and punched at him.

(Bog Punch on Ecolo. Deals 20% damage if it hits. Requires a 12 or higher to evade)

Orin made it to Pauline and sat down next to the darkness. "Growing bored of her weak struggles, huh? Just want to get it over with? Well, now would be a good time to leave. Your master is preoccupied. I am sure he won't mind a lunch break," Orin claimed. There was a moment of silence before the abnormal darkness would disappear and Pauline was freed from her prison.

[Deleted]

Pauline fought hard to escape her prison...But eventually gave up and sighed to herself, so this was really the end for her huh? After so many years she never thought she would meet her end being eaten by a ghost, she did have some good times together with Mario, Stanley...Donkey Kong. However as Pauline began to flick through memories of her life, she was free from her ghostly prison by Orin, she looked happily at the girl with red hair.

"Thanks for saving me, Is the enemy down?" Pauline said as she turned towards Ecclo, who was having trouble with the enemy.

"Hang on Ecclo, I'll help you." Pauline said as she took out a mini donkey kong to deal good damage to Bogmire.

"There he Is, go and get him Donkey Kong, go!"

Even though he was sick, Ecolo dodged the punch with relative ease. "Heh, saw it comin'!" Ecolo commented before letting out a weak chuckle. As the Mini DK hit Bogmire, the blob turned around and gave Pauline a goofy smile. "Nice to see you are all right, Paulinny! Let's take this guy down now, shall we~? Fake Speech!" He chanted as the three icicles began appearing below Bogmire.
