[ottowhitex]

otto had never felt so FREE.

he’d forgotten everything that had happened prior: brooke revealing herself to be ursula, the mute girl being thrown off to the side, chaos breaking out. he saw the glow coming from in, and he felt his arms go slack. he couldn’t control himself but the part of him that was still present didn’t want to. not anymore. 

he’d been leaning against one of the ornate mantlepieces in the ballroom. above it was a decorative shield, holding two swords behind it. tugging at one of the hilts, the entire piece broke off, and the prince held the sword in one hand and the shield in another. 

the first person he saw, who wasn’t an ally, he hit over their back with the shield.

[qceenies]

queenie had been sitting alone in a dark corner of the ballroom for at least half an hour now, watching people dance and talk to each other to their heart’s content. the drink she clutched in her hand was only half-empty, and she drank some only when she felt she was being too awkward. “how did i let aunt olivia convince me to come, again?”

[hvschweetz]

( @zanekwon )

there was a huge staircase at the entrance foyer to the hotel. the ballroom’s doors were to the right and the lucky students that could escape the carnage of the ballroom were running around the foyer, some beating at the doors and windows to try and get out. the few that could, were met swiftly with the rushing water. 

hershey cackled as he glitched, running up and down the staircase’s banister, grabbing whatever debris he could and dropping it on people’s heads. 

he stopped at the bottom of the banister, standing perfectly balanced on one leg, grinning at his handiwork and holding his arms up like the screams were a round of applause.

[beatrixlux]

beatrix’s head was pounding, full of ursula’s rage. it was hard to tame the daughter of the devil himself, and while ursula had certainly done so, the real beatrix wasn’t asleep as she was supposed to be. she was wide awake and screaming to be let out, to be able to take control of her body once more, but she was moving so quickly that she could barely get a word out without becoming motion sick. she didn’t want to hurt anybody, not when she wasn’t in control. she had to help herself somehow.

[artemislunawolf]

She had gone full on fight mode when the chaos broke out. She wanted to bring her inner wolf out but she was too worried about making sure the people she loved were ok. She pushed her way through the crowd, knocking people down that were trying to hurt her and other. “What the hell is wrong with you people? Selling your soul to someone you don’t know.” She said to no one in particular and shook her head, hitting the person in front of her.

( @eivuii )

frederick wished he’d brought his word along. he’d told himself he wouldn’t need it before he left, and now he was regretting not bringing it. he’d had to make do with one of the sword decorations on the wall. it wasn’t real, so it was sharp, but it was heavy, and it would be able to deal some amount of damage if necessary.

he’d lost eivui just a few minutes before the chaos began, and so now he was looking for her, searching every nook and cranny. when he eventually found her, he took a few steps before realising there was something off. his blood ran cold. there were only a few people in this world that he wouldn’t dare strike, and she was one of them.

[blaneoftheseas]

“I’m going to fucking kill cameron for dragging me out here.” Blane muttered out in frustration. Of all the things he would rather have been doing in that moment going to a stupid dance was not one of them. Instead of actucally dancing he decided to stick to the side, holding a glass of punch in one hand. 

[kitketvschweetz]

kitket bounced excitedly across the dance floor, twirling every few seconds. she was trying to get everyone she knew who dance with her, it was just a matter of finding people that was a bit troublesome in the sea of people. “i just wanna daaaaance!” the candy princess ( somehow, for the first time in ever, referring to herself as such didn’t feel quite right ) wailed, but was caught into a small fit of giggles immediately afterward. “someone dance with meeeee~”

shen practically slithered around the room, transforming into his dragon form and pouncing on the ones he recognized as enemies without hesitation. shen could sense the magic in him, he knew it wasn’t sitting quite right with the dragon spirit that was already in him, but he didn’t care.

because his wish was granted. he was finally powerful. 

he moved around the room, changing back and forth between forms at will. he clawed his way up people in dragon form, and shoved them out of the way in human form. he finally came to a stop in front of a familiar girl, in human form. his eyes flashed, and smoke billowed from his nostrils as he snarled.

[juniiperblue]

as small as a berry and named after two: juniper blue tore through the crowd, using her small size to her advantage. she was just barely conscious within herself, but the majority of her mind taken over --- including every single voice that was living in her head.

‘throw this!’ ‘kick her!’ ‘KILL him!’

each individual voice had something different to say, and that small part of her that was still in there somewhere was forced to listen to each and every one of them.

letting out a loud, high-pitched scream, the blue caterpillar grabbed a silver platter from one of the tables and hurled it across the room. immediately after, going into a roundhouse kick off of the ground, kicking one of her enemies in the face before landing on said table.

[hcliix]

helix had entered the hotel just before the water had risen around its perimeter, and she was very confused, to say the least. all she’d intended to do was drop in and find her siblings, maybe grab a plate before leaving, but it seemed that leaving wasn’t an option anymore. once she’d spotted the lunatic students, she’d made a split decision -- she was not getting involved. so here she was, lying on the rafters with her hand in a popcorn bowl, watching the chaos below.

[kirsafee]

( @xiacli , @illyriadx )

kirsa had never had a physical fight in her life, so she didn’t know why she was running to one now. she’d screamed when xiaoli was thrown, but had frozen in place when the chaos broke out. she’d managed to avoid some wacko with a shield and sword, but now that she saw the boy engaging with xiaoli had disappeared for the moment -- she went up to her friend, believing that she was fine. 

“xiaoli! xiaoli --” kirsa rushed forward, armed with nothing. 

[willowchancia]

( @arrogant-prince-varg )

willow wasn’t willow anymore. she was just some fighting machine, her body being used against her will. she had pieces of broken glass in her hands, not caring about the state of her own flesh as the jagged pieces dug in. her entire being was focused on fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting --

[makariax]

makaria bit off a cheese cube from a toothpick; in her corner of the room, she had an entire platter held up by dark smoke. her feet didn’t hurt yet, but she’d danced enough with a friend here and there to feel a little tired. as someone passed by, she gave them a ‘sup nod, lifting the platter up a little as an invitation for them to eat. “gotta keep your strength up.”

[offelicities]

( @willowchancia )

as soon as chaos had broken out amongst the hundreds of students, felicity began shoving her way through the crowds. “come on, come on, come on ---” she repeated, over and over again, as she practically tripped over her own to feet. her mind was set on finding one person, and one person only. “WILLOW!” the princess cried once she spotted her cousin, rushing toward her as fast as she could through the crowd of her peers.

[zairc]

zaire had never been to a dance, and so he was a bit more than awkward in such an occasion. he hadn’t danced at all, hadn’t really spoken to anybody --- he mainly stood to the side, sipping at his beverage whenever he thought to. “this was a bad idea ...” he murmured to himself, shaking his head slightly.
