Chell is momentary confused by how she suddenly knew the answer to her own question but at this point that was the closet thing to normal she'd had happen all day, maybe if she didn't die to some horrible monstrosity she could become a lexicographer with her new power. "So should we be worried about her coming back?" Chell tried to get a little more information to work with but what she really needed right now was time to sort all of this out.
Chell quickly takes her normal place as Sora's shadow, still as hopelessly lost but she does manage to find her voice for the moment at least to try to get answers on her own while remaining in her magic girl form just in case. "What are Neophytes?" She really need more time for all this, more information. Longing for the books back at the house that gave her some semblance of understanding into this world.
Chell takes a bit longer to recover than the others, her magic still being a frighting experience to use from a mixture of the unknown and horror stories of fantasy teleporting gone wrong in books. If she heard the comment about them sleeping together she ignored it, this new world was still far too much of a shock for her to make jokes about anything during it. "Are we safe?" She asked hopefully with a small sign of fear still, "Can we change back?"
Sora: Chell has a look of mixed surprise and joy on her face as her magic seemed to have worked and summoned the help they desperately needed but was quickly replaced with panic as the girls started to get defeated. "We have to help them." She seemed to feel guilty about calling in more people, or other forms of Kazue?, just to all be beaten with them. "Sora can we get everyone out of here?" She asked hoping for any ideas.
Sora: Seeing the plant manifest and the room start to fall apart May immediately regrets waiting. "I think we need to get out of here." She doesn't sound sure of herself but they needed to act fast."I..I could try to move that thing." She suggested motioning to the plant. "But this place still might come down." Chell is struck with an idea as she focuses on the results of Tenshi's magic, the doorway. She focuses on the door and the woman inside trying to send her magic into it not sure if she was calling for help, dragging someone in with them or just getting in more trouble but right now it was all she had.
Chell's head quickly snaps to the side as she tries to catch a glance of the movement, she seems almost in a trance as she watches the strange object leaving it's splintered energy at the unnatural movement. "I think something is coming to us." She says as she holds out a hand before Sora can start her spell and points out the movement, unsure if they can see it as well.
Sora: "Well that is...interesting?" She tried to be polite about just how bizarre this situation was before turning to Sora like always. "So where do we go from here? This is kind of your area."
"I can't reach them." Chell says disappointed in herself. "But something else is coming...Ah!" Chell nearly jumps back in surprise as the first tiny toga appears. "What are they?" She asks with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
Sora: "I don't know, I could try but I don't know how many we could reach." Chell takes a moment to gather herself and let the others stop her if they think of something better before trying to use her magic to find as many people as she could and put all of them in the middle so Sora's magic could protect as many civilians as possible.
Sora & May: May was in an immense struggle to keep up with Sora as she exposed herself as a magic girl and began to weaved her magic into the dream catcher to ward off the nightmare that was consuming the mall and soon those inside it, when offered Sora's hand May is hesitant but nods "Moon Warden Chell." and accepts the offer to be pulled into the dream.
If Chell could feel the limitation of the protection she would look to Sora for guidance on her magic. "I might be able to move the others into the dream weaver but if we move it moves and I don't know if I could bring everyone with us."
Sora: "If we can get someplace private and preferable quiet, I'll try to do what I can."
Seeing Sora move to help the girl climbing up May would move to do the same.
If they managed to pull her up May would silently fall to back into her slot behind Sora, if she saw her speaking to the air again she'd sigh in annoyance but avoid commenting.
Not one for small talk and certainly not comfortable with a situation like this May pulted a little closer to Sora than she already was silently mocking the idea that she was given the magic to travel near anywhere but still needed a guide to deal with basic human interactions like talking . "Exactly how many are here?" She asked Sora in a hushed tone.
[Spoiler=Sora] "After everything we've been told you honestly think we still have a choice anymore? Even if I did left 'this' would just get back to me eventually." [/spoilers] May takes a moment to gather herself before she puts on a small fake smile and takes her position as Sora's shadow.
"There is nothing to hear." May says defeated and confused as things she doesn't understand keep piling up while Sora seems to be acting like this was just another day. "Whatever closest I guess?"
Sora: May was a little confused at the sudden overload of information as she feel more and more out of the loop. "How should I know? I have no idea what's even going on. Who are they?"
May stands slightly behind Sora not really sure what to expect but tried to be ready to react, for now she acts a 'silent protector' ready to move while Sora takes the lead.
"Even a knife would be better than nothing, uh alright?" May wasn't really sure what she meant but would do her best to 'cover' her while she did whatever she was trying to do.
Chell nods in agreement, they'd already used a pretty large of power without really knowing what they what they were doing best not to risk any more unless they needed to. "My watch is done." She mimics Sora. "Maybe we find some non 'magic' protection as well?"
"We need to hunt him down at the very least with everything going on anything we do is going to have some kind of backlash at least we can try to keep it limited to our own means."
Chell rubbed her temple as a small headache emerged from the sudden overload of information. "Mogwah, the furby things?" Chell asked with confusion. "What about the thief and the others or any of the other mess we saw?" She worked to try and make sense of everything but every new trick seemed to raise more and more questions, she found herself thinking about her old simple life back home but quickly threw out the idea at fear of accidentally moving herself to the US. "So what do we do about -this-" She gestured to the entire room.
May is more than a little scared to open her eyes to pretty much any outcome, teleporting worked and she just went further down the rabbit hole or it didn't and she needed to seek mental help before she hurt anyone else but when she finally gets the courage to open her eyes and see no one had been teleported in half and she didn't seem to be going crazy she looked relived. Seeing all their belongings thrown about worries her but not as much as seeing Sora transform so quickly at something that could be a simple robber but follows her lead none the less. "Moon Warden Chell" She whispers. May's transformation wasn't very flash but as the lines that would have marked locations on a standard map spread throughout her body it began to take it's ancient form, once fully changed Chell would try to use her magic to track whatever had done this.
May was quite surprised she'd spent so long reading in a strangers house even if the story seemed to help her to understand more about the very strange situation that was being forced upon them. When Suzu speaks and walks out May barely takes notice but Sora would 'snap her out of it' May helped Sora return the books in the proper order. "From what she said the map should be enough right? Once we pack up I'll try it if you're willing to risk it."
May was taken slightly off guard by the book and didn't notice or at least react to Sora for a few seconds. "Gloves? I guess?" She clearly didn't see how they would effect anything but she didn't have any better ideas so if allowed she'd slide them on and look through the books again.
May is interested in trying her 'magic' out but, despite the reassurances nothing too horrid would happen, flashes of other stories she'd read of people trying to teleport and only moving half of themselves or whom every they were traveling with and decides that the door should stay closed for now. "I guess it would be better to learn before I try something I don't understand." May moves over to the books and runs her hands alongs the spines, she wasn't really sure what she was doing or what she should do. If she doesn't get a 'feel' for anything she'll glance at Sora for help.
Unlike the flashy display that was originally shown to them on the stairs May actually seemed impressed with this room as her eyes move slowly across it trying to take it all in while her enjoying the 'book smell'. She approaches the model of the city and gives it her attention but it's clear she's mostly just being polite and would rather be focused on the books. "So in theory I could just 'wish' us any place here and we'd be there?"
'Well read? They have a manual?' "Worth a shot I guess as long as I don't teleport half myself or something, what fiction would tell me more about all this." She said leaving 'this' vague.
May let her have the argument, mostly because she didn't know that much about Harry Potter she was more of a Hobbit fan. "If I can teleport she shouldn't be too hard to find right? Does it have to be someplace I've been to or will pictures work?"
"Wait phoenixes are a thing? Likely safe to assume pretty much everything is a 'real thing' at this point I guess." May shrugged. "What texts?"
"So we're Voldemort now?" May asked rubbing her nose. "I don't recall a doll either, you laid eggs?"
"If I knew I could do it again but getting vague hints from a drunken bird and snobbish comments aren't helping." May's frustration clearly rising and sighs trying to gather herself after being warned again about her book. "So now my survival is reliant on a tour guide book."
May held back a sigh of frustration as the woman completely ignored her point and continued to act superior. "I have a moral problem with forcing something on someone, punishing them for using it and then asking them to use it." May is more than happy to stay behind with Sora until she repeats what the woman says. "She just said using powers makes us suffer and If I had any idea how it worked maybe I could try but no one has explained anything about using any of this." She starts to sound more and more defeated as her points are continuously ignored.
"A basic control of your life isn't too much to ask for." She mutters as she hands over her translation book, the start of all of this for her.
May watches the speech with annoyance and confusion, "It all has a price, so any time we do anything with these things we have to pay for it?" clearly unkind to the idea of having 'powers' force on her then being punished when using them. When Sora looks to her she speaks up again. "I saw a guy that seemed to be in the same place as us with the raven, he seemed pretty upset over being a guy instead of a girl so I guess you got wings he got gender swapped."
Her voice unsure but she still answers. "Honestly I don't know what I am anymore but I'm pretty sure the train coming to get us was me so maybe?"
As Chell is forced back into her human form it seems only small changes are made, her nose and other facial features become slightly larger, her hair abandons it's chin high post to fall down her back, and the largest visible change is her skin seeming to change ethnicity from a typical Obusa citizen into a caucasian. Chell is caught severally off guard by this magic and is annoyed to say the least about what she considered an invasion of privacy."This is your boss, Sora?" She says through gritted teeth.
Having never been one for large displays Chell gives a tiny grimace as the far too flashy dress descends the stairs, "Easy to see how most people would react poorly to a drunken crow knocking on their door."
Chell didn't seem to react to the fan girling at first, having gotten used to being ignored while around Sora, but as the maid began to drift slowly into the psychotic area Chell made sure her weight was on her back foot just in case. The 'home-sick' feeling catches Chell off guard since she'd never even been here before it seemed odd it had such a familiar pull, Another side effect of all the crazy s%!% that keeps happening I guess. She stays true to her normal rule of shadowing Sora but seems to be glancing around a lot more than normal unable to pin the exactly what she was feeling.
Sorry for being bad company, it was just really important that I sent the first and the second messages, for very different reasons. We can go get something to eat after this if it works out. My treat."[/b] she offers, as usual, overcompensating for perceived slights. Chell shrugs not really sure what to make of how Sora is acting but she didn't really have a choice but to trust her so she stayed in her normal position as a silent shadow guided by the pop-star until she rings the buzzer. "Who exactly are we visiting may I ask?"
"I suppose?" Chell raises an eyebrow at Sora's request but doesn't mention anything about the oddity. "I'll have to move some things around to make room, not the craziest thing that's worked lately I guess."
"Sorry about using you as an excuse back there. 'Foreign Friend' was the best excuse I had for being on this end of the city on the fly." Chell shrugs as she follows in Sora's footsteps. "I don't think it 'Foreign Friend' will work very well when I'm like this but you're welcome to try."
"Though, her face isn't covered like I would think it should be. Perhaps it's one of your American Styles?" Chell shrugs."Not that I recognize but 'horror theater' isn't really my thing." Chell tilts her head slightly at the bus driver. "The Shirakawa house?" She asked with interest but when Sora mentions showing her around it she drops it, still a tourist in her own home.
Chell took a step back, bothered by all the new attention. "Vengeful theater spirit?" She ask unsure of Sora's unclear thoughts.
"At least you might be able to get rid of them for a little while at least with the phrase." Chell shadowed Sora as she normally did during outings like this one, mostly staying out of sight. She keeps silent at the rude comments trusting Sora to handle it better than she would as she resisted the urge to try her magic on them.
Chell listens to Sora's debrief before giving her own synopsis of her own evening with the solider and the talking crow, including the pass word to change back to human. "Something wrong?" She asks when Sora cuts her sentence short.
"Forcing insanity on the unwilling is also rude, guess we've both got problems." Chell checks her phone to skim over the texts Sora had sent her. "Speaking of problems looks like I'm needed as well." Chell would take her leave shortly after the crow.
Chell tilts her head at the crow. "Professionals, and what happened to that?"
Chell nods to Alex but doesn't give him much more than that as the talking raven was a bit more important at the time."Pretty sure that's speciesism but either way any kind of explanation would be nice, what is a moon warden, why did we get their power, why am I talking to a drunken raven?"
Raven: "And you shouldn't be talking guess we've all got problems." Chell sighed as she looked over her new form again, maybe she should have just stayed in the states this was all way too much for her to handle. "So what are you supposed to be an omen?"
"I guess I've nothing better to do, maybe I can figure out something about whats going on with us while you're working and let you know." Chell eyes the Raven curiously but doesn't interact with it yet.
