[Revel1984]

REALLY?....... after all that in the maze and the fight with the harpy, he ended up with an egg.... He huffed but held it close, could be valuable.. Suddenly something else happened.. and he and Kally were in cages??? THE FU**..... then more stuff happened, drawing his attention to Eris "HEY b***h, LET US OUT" he snarled when she ran her eyes over him, gesturing to his companion in the other cage, ignoring all the other pae, resisting the urge to spit in her face.

OH HELL NO... what?!... that damn harpy AGAIN?!.. and it was Eris's songbird... you HAD to be kidding him.... He'd been about to screech profanities at the black harpy when another goddess appeared and shot the wing of that stupid pretender. "HA! TAKE THAT" he called, before he turned his attention back to the harpy, especially since Kally was now screaming, "HEY YEAH... WE GOT YOUR EGGS YOU DUMB BIRD BRAINED b***h" he added, showing, but clutching tightly, the egg that was his prize too, and his fistful of feathers. talons of his other hand poised over the egg, threateningly.

Rime was glad to be free of the maze and the agony they had failed to beat. For 3 seconds before realizing she was in a cage.

Stupid glowing mist grabbing her and slurping her up. Ugh and why a bird cage?

Stupid lady she was no pet!

At least Smolder was close She tossed a wary smile to her friend and scooched closer only to notice the bars where made for big pae not little ones like her.

Huh

"Scooch over Smolder!" She called to her friend and after waiting for her friend to move a little she launched her self out of her cage and attempted to grab at the bars of Smolder's.

Good thing she was good at long jumping though the cage was waving back and for violently from the impact and she had to hold on tight to not be thrown off.


Once it had settled down a little she climbed inside and sat next to her friend.


"Woops didn't think it would shake so much, you okay?" She asked worriedly. "Stupid lady I don't care about her or her stupid birds." The small deer grumbled to her friend.

"Oh!" She exclaimed as Artemus made her appearance. Finally! Maybe they will get out of here!

Rime doing a dumb

Kulamani tried to grab hold of Carnelian when the purple mist showed up again but he missed as it turned to hands and pulled them down with a slurping noise???

"Neli! You okay?" He asked as he woke up and found himself in a cage. Luckily she was pretty close to him so he didn't have to yell.

Looking around he spotted his niece across the room. "Purpuryt you okay?" He shouted.

He frowned slightly in confusion as she answered. Who was this Nighty she was calling to?

Well as long as she was okay.

He glared at Eris through the bars of his cage not saying anything as she spoke. While mad he didn't want to infuriate the goddess, only bad things could come from pissing her off, as shown by the naiad that called her out on not being Venus.

Strawberri Stardust

Oh noes birdcages?

Purpuryt struggled against the shadows that appeard in the purple mist. Only the shadows one and she got dragged down into the depths with a slurping sound.

Slurping sound??? She was being eaten by shadows, oh yes that was exactly what she wanted, to be eaten by shadows. Good job lady. Ugh this hostess was the worst.

Of course she was also now STUCK IN A CAGE. The stupid birds where strutting around like they owned the place. Ugh.

Internally swearing at the crazy goddess the teen looked around when she heard her name called.

"Just peachy uncle"

She called back semi-sarcastically physically she was fine but very very annoyed.

Oh oh there he was! The handsome cutie she had been hanging out with before all this nonsense started.

"NIGHT TE!"

She called out to him waving her arm.

She tore her gaze away from Night Te, as the hostess started screeching. Purpur was suppressed to see one of the wings fall off. Hah that's what she gets for being a jerk who ruins a perfectly good evening with a handsome boy and shoves people into shitty mazes.

Fea Line

Purpur has spotted her Holey Night! Kula wonders who the heck Nighty is.

Hauyne hissed angrily as the mist grabbed him and hung him by his tail. How dare they!

He hissed again at the voice that called him a pet and laughed. Even more humiliating than being held upside down was being shoved into a bird cage.

He clawed at the bars as Eris introduced her children only to stop when the second and third lights flickered on.

Oh well now that was interesting. So she had harpies did she? Shame the purple feathers he had followed wasn't from this one. Could have had a good time eating her.

"Let me out to fight those stupid birds!" He called at Eris. He snorted at the notion that the bird could eat him.

Then Eris screamed and some shiny silver lady appeared and turned into a deer and there was a lot of fighting. Fighting that he didn't get to enjoy because he was SIDELINED.

SBrosB

Still wants to fight a bird.

Night Terror was so done with this sh**.

He was still floating, face first too, though it seemed like the effects were weakening now as he had to keep turning his face to not get smashed into the cage. He couldn't really see what was going on well, only able to crane and look around as all the fus with Eris and the others began to play out. "Ah." was all he could say to that. We'll this Eris would have fun once Night Mother and Swarm Mother found out where the sibs had gone off too. Speaking of....where was Eclipse and Aura? Did Aura even make it?

When a voice caught his attention, his droopy ears pricked slightly and he smiled, sort of rolling over in his cage to catch the wave. "Purpuryt! You're ok!" he called, actually glad to find her well and not in pieces. He was confused at being called Nighty however before the thought occurred to him. "Terror." he said then smiled, a sort of weird twisted wink. "Night Terror is my name, before we were rudely interrupted....but I can dig Nighty." he laughed, using his hands to push himself to as much of an upright position as he could.

When screeching began and he caught a silver flash of a majestic deer taking out the other wing of Eris, his body suddenly fell against the cage with a thud, the anti gravity effect seeming to have worn off. "Oh thank Swarm Mother." he sighed. "Purpuryt, you aren't hurt are you?" he glanced back over to her and called softly.

Oh no.. no, Mobie was unhappy already about the maze but then a weird fog emerged, leaving him and the other Pae from the party, or at least. most of them... strung up in cages while drama happened outside, NOPE... he huddled in on himself, drawing his tentacles up and around. "i just want to go home...." he said quietly to no one in particular before flinching when he heard Tugger's voice..... hopefully they'd be freed soon....maybe

~~~~~~~

Erminea had been surprised by the mist and had tried to fly away from it but found herself unable to. "Oh poop" she said, walking forwards, to be met with light and bars.... she was caged?!... "what the heck?" she exclaimed, giving the bars a little rattle. Oh...just.. oh... wait.. who was that? ... oh dear, this wasn't good... she didn't seem like a nice pae at all, then another appeared and shot the wing off the other, a fight then? while they were all caged ... well nice to know priorities. She decided to sit and wait, no point in fighting inside a locked cage. She sat on the floor of the middle of her cage, legs crossed underneath her, hands folded neatly and just waited to see what happened next.

~~~~~~

Dax had yelped when he felt a p***k, almost dropping the thing in his hand then a feeling overwhelmed him, filling his mind, almost like mental white noise. He was getting confused, losing track of what was going on... He closed his eyes, hands to his head, it was almost painful. When he opened his eyes he saw bars, a strange figurine in his hand clutched tightly, he was caged, strange pae were all around, also caged. Another outside, showing off, saying strange things, then a couple of harpies. "Hello!" he called out to anyone caged nearby "Where are we? ... uh.. how did we get here?" he asked, he was struggling to remember what he had been doing before he opened his eyes inside the cage.

Then all hell broke loose as another Pae came charging, firing a bow, shooting off the other's wing. Nope.. he wasn't staying here, he flexed his robotic legs a few times laying on his back, tucked close to the door, flexed again, taking aim and KICKED at the area the lock was, trying to smash his way out of the cage.



@staff - Dax is attempting to kick the door open using the advantage of his robotic legs

Instead of running, she had been poised to fight for her valiant toy when the purple mist also swallowed her too.

Awaking as a literal bird in a cage, she let out a mighty screech which should have had no problem alerting Twog to her presence. Hissing in bird like fashion, she tore at the cage, only to find her hands getting bruised and her feathers crumpling. Twog's voice caught her ears and she turned towards him. "Oh I don't give up that easily." she nodded, going at the cage again. However, it just didn't seem to be working. Not only that but she could tell the other male harpy was near by. His presence just made her... tingle. Not really what she wanted to feel right now.

Except it was more. It was intense. "Something's....not right..." she about panted to Twog, her fight slowing.

And then Eris spoke, revealing not only herself but her own twisted songbird as well as it's mate. "Oh F**k me sideways...." she sighed softly, eyes running over that deliciously tainted piece of manhawk. "No...no...no....yes...." she about melted in her cage.

Pull yourself together Krayyven! she hissed inwardly as she began to tear at the bars again. "It's not working! Are you hurt?" she called back to her previous toy. When suddenly fighting erupted in the main hall, she scooted to the back of her cage, watching as the silver being shredded the wing of Eris. When the deer asked who else wanted to take a shot, Krayyven screeched out "I DO!"

She knew it wasn't who Artemis was talking too but hey...maybe she'd let her out.

Syrilla stood tall, proud, regal almost. Her feathers gleamed in the light, playing off the purple and blue hues, making her stark black look as if it too were glistening with faint deep colors. She tapped a finger against her cheek, laughing, other hand gently stroking the feathers of her beloved Veleno.

Her mismatched gaze drifted over the cages until she spotted the pair of cats. Almost purring, the red one intensified, the glow seeming to seep from it like chaotic matter itself. The cracks beneath her feathers radiated. "Oh I do so want to play with those two later...." she had just gotten out before Artemis arrived.

Screeching, she flared her wings, taking to the sky, only able to watch as Eris's remaining wing ripped from her socket via arrow. "You silvery b***h!" she shouted towards the deer, talons ready to do damage. She had dived towards the faun when the last arrow shot, splitting into multiples, nailing down her master via net. Growling, she eyed the silver deer, rising higher into the sky. "You'll pay for this.... GET HER!" she screeched loudly, eyes darting towards Velono and the Agonies.  

[Menelie]

Zhixuan's tirade was utterly stymied by the reveal of Eris' songbird. Although Zhixuan knew this was a bad situation, she couldn't help but be in awe of the Raven's dark beauty and incredible presence. All at once she hated the Raven, and couldn't stop staring at her. She couldn't help but wonder how soft those feathers were, and how her hair might fall around her shoulders if all those baubles were taken out. Zhixuan knew that the songbird's mistress was the reason that they were all caged like this, and so she wanted to rip into her, but also, kind of not.

That particular line of thought, however, was interrupted when the Poison Hawk came into the spotlight. Zhixuan's breath caught in her throat. She was overcome with feelings, and she snarled and rattled her cage even the more. She knew there were other harpies in the room, and she had to get to the Poison Hawk before any of them did, especially that Raven.  

[Wolfs Heart]

Eleora's cage sparkled the brightest of all the cages, with her hooves catching every light in the room, but she certainly wasn't feeling the brightest right now. The hissing egg had transported to the cage with her and she had pushed it up against one side and pushed herself up against the other side, as far away as she could get. She was concerned about whatever creature might be in that egg, and that she might be its first meal when ever it might choose to hatch. There was stuff going down below her cage, but she only briefly glanced every once in a while, afraid to take her eyes off the egg. Every once in a while she'd try to pick at the glass shards on her hooves, the least of her concerns, but she had nothing better to do. It was increasingly clear she was stuck with them though.

Something familiar was enough to completely take her eyes off the egg though. Eris' songbird or pet? It looked like the bird pae she had raised. How curious. It had been a challenge to raise her... daughter... but this one looked even less inviting. Perhaps she wouldn't live long enough to be the egg's meal after all.  

[Fea Line]

When the spotlight lit up the stage her and her siblings were on, Ate fought to the front and center, cackling madly as she did a sort of imitation bow mixed with strange almost ballerinaesque movements. Her purple hair flowed madly as her dual colored eyes glanced around.

No one had come to find her in the maze which left her a bit disappointed. But no one took her precious plaything Pothos either, which made her giddy all the same. Taking one of her delusion arrows, she drew her tongue across its tip before holding it out and pointing at the young purple snake she had managed to shoot before, winking.

Except when her mother screamed and Artemis fell to the floor, hooves echoing across the halls, her entire demeanor changed. Looking like a cat in a trap, she suddenly screeched. "MOTHER!" she hissed, flaring her wings and daring back, taking her bow and notching a couple arrows into it, aimed and at the ready. She pointed it at Artemis, though her gaze flickered madly between the faun, her mother and the raven birds, hesitating. Still, a mad cackle, though now panicked, continued to steadily stream from her lips as she mentally fought to find her proper target.

Well this sucked. Sedna wasn't really feeling this whole cage thing and flipped it off. ******** this cage. Oh there was some deer thing and Eris. She flipped them both the bird. ******** those two. Oh look, harpies! They get their own birds too! ******** em! ******** everyone here.

The cage did give her an idea though. She began to slam into the sides of her cage, slowly gaining moment. Back and forth, back and forth. Slowly and with a lot more effort then what she wanted to use, CRASH! The sound of metal on metal colliding. Sedna had managed to pendulum her way into a nearby bird cage of some poor white haired blue vine covered sap. "******** you!" Oh but she wasn't done.

She rocked back the opposite side and CRASH! She hit another cage. This one held a green naiad with a gold halo. "******** you too!" She managed to bark out her words before slamming on the other side of her cage to crash back into the first cage. ******** them all! She was going to wreck these cages up!

Kelpie was watching and looking for any chance to get the upper hand in this stupid situation she so needed to get even with Eris this game had gone to far and she needed to be taken down a peg. Kelpie smiled seeing another goddess brought into play fighting Eris, but she would not sit around and wait for a hero. When she saw that another pae was pissed off and swinging their cage Kelpie yelled outreaching her arms out willing to risk getting hurt for the chance of grabbing the other pae so they could open their cages and get free. "Hey grab my hands!!" She screamed out hoping to get their attention away from their rage and focused on revenge. She decided not to explain anymore till they managed to hold on to each other long enough to do anything.

Attempting to grab Sedna's attention and Sedna's arms to hold cages together to work on opening the cages.

Aidan had been less then ok with the rising mists. "My dear? I am unsure if this is a good thing." He frantically looked around for an escape but the mist was rising everywhere. There was no way out. The only thing he could do was grip Quadira's hand tightly as they were quickly gobbed up and lost to the strange mists.

....Oh his head! Not again! Pain from past parties surfaced as he awoke to the sound of his beloved calling his name! "Yes my dear I am ok!" He nursed his head slightly as he sat up and tried to look around. "Where are we?" His eyes slowly focused and he noted the metal bars. "My dear this does not look good." There was some noises below them as the gods started to battle. "Is this some sorta theater? Hmmm. It would have been better with a decent meal. I'm starved my beloved. Dinner and a show is so much more romantic after all." He smiled sweetly to his beautiful love.

Before the spotlight lit up his stage, Neikea was tenderly nursing an injury on his arm. He really wasn't built for being in the fray, it was his clever words that he preferred to fight with. However, his pride was even more damaged by the fact that he was bested by a handful of these pathetic Venus-worshippers. He wasn't going to let them see that though and he quickly fixed his posture before they were officially introduced.

Look at me mortals, you thought you had bested me, but who is in the cage now? He laughed at their pathetic screeches at his dear mother, perhaps some quarrel arrows would improve their tongues.

"Mother..." he gasped quietly. It pained him to see her hurt. A thousand curses on that Artemis for taking both of his mother's wings. He instantly took a step toward's his mother's side, to try and comfort her. His sibling would certainly give Artemis the proper welcome to the party. Mother captured?! No, this was not acceptable. This huntress was a fool to enter this place alone. Neikea slipped towards mother, his intent to break her free from the net.  

[Wolfs Heart]

And now he was caged. Enfys sighed. He gave a rattle to his cage, testing it's limits. A solid, sturdy cage, high above the floor. He hoped his dad didn't come here looking for him, and was perhaps desperate enough to be done with this evening that he wondered what swearing fealty to this pae entailed...

He didn't have to wonder about that for long though. Our hero! But was she really the only one who had come to save them? He thought as he held on tightly to the bars of his cage. He watched as he took down the one who seemed to be in charge of this whole operation get easily captured by the silvery lady. Wow, she kicked a**. Apparently she was the only one they needed to come save them. He had no issues swearing fealty to this lady.
