Diane: Oh, okay. I will if she picks up, otherwise I won't say it was you who was wondering.

A door close to the group suddenly opens and Hikari pops out of it
"I would totally marry you by the way!" she said, before retreating back to the room
Sakura and Lyuri just begin snickering.
Route 217
-Glöckchen eventually reaches a steep incline near the edge of the route-
-She begins climbing up it-

Teacher: <Hm, it seems attacking would not be wise. The rest of you will have to do it in my stead.>
Hellbender: <...Yeah, I agree with Scarface. We should probably just get this over with.>

"Well! That answers that question. Good to know."

-Ever and Cornelia follow-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Stormchaser
-Diane smiles-
Diane: See? No problem. I didn't even talk to her, so I didn't tell her you were wondering.
Route 217, Cave
-Eventually they all reach a cave at the top of the incline-
Abomasnow 1: <Oh, well, isn't this a nice surprise?>
Abomasnow A: <Ah ha ha! Good to have you stop by!>
-Glöckchen steps in-
Glöckchen: <Hello, Mother. Father.>
-She rings her bell-
-One of the Abomasnow notices Ever and Cornelia-
Abomasnow 1: <Oh? Who might you two be?>

Ever: ...I am apparently Glockchen's minder for the day.
Cornelia: <I am faintly frightened.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Stormchaser
Jacob: -Thwaps Diane's head-
"Well at least I don't need to worry about talking to my parents about this, or about a house or any sort of living situation I just need a ring."

Skye: Wh-what does it look like? When... when there's too much Roil, what happens?

-Diane chuckles as she's thwapped in a presumably tremendous manner.-
Diane: See? Your life's set up perfectly. You've got things going great for you.

Route 217, Cave
Abomasnow 1: <Nice to meet you then, Apparentlyglockchen's Minderfortheday and Fairly Frightened.>
Abomasnow A: <No offense, but ya got anything shorter you mind us calling ya? Yer names are kind of a mouthful.>

Cornelia: <Ich bin Cornelia.>

-Pent sighs and takes a moment to calm himself-
It means something bad happens. Probably something like what dragged us all into here together in the first place. We were at high Roil already weren't we? Whatever's happened it's reset it.
-He cringes slightly-
As it stands, we have a job to do. A ball to work our way through.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Route 217, Cave
Abomasnow A: <Haha! Schön euch kennenzulernen! No idea how you ended up with a name like that, though.>
-Ever may find himself struck in the back of his leg by a violin-

Ever: I had strange parents.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Psyche nods. "Yes, the Roil manifests in different ways every time, so I can't predict it. It's almost always bad though. I can't stay on the line much longer, I'll just be able to tell you a few things about Valentine. Red Valentine, the Vampire Queen of Excess is the first of six Figures you're going to probably encounter. She normally represents my love of the arts, but currently in this hellhole, she represents my lack of restraint. So she's a hedonistic bitch with a penchant for decapitating the unwary. And the boring. Her main weapon is also her favorite instrument, the solid silver guitar, Tarnished Silvertongue. Beat her, and Noelle, you get a nice new fiddle made of gold silver guitar, but well... I don't think I need to say the punishment for failure.
The ballroom is riddled with vampires, so here's what I recommend. One team, the blood team, goes in to distract the main horde of vampires. I recommend getting blood on the more bulky people, if possible. The second team, their whole job is get someone on that stage to fight Valentine. The third, is try and make sure you keep the horde of vampires from tearing the first team apart. Status effects, anything to make sure they don't die. Dying would be counterproductive here. Any questions?"

Aaaaaalright. So that's not promising. I feel like I'm neither beefy enough for the floor team or powerful enough for the defense team so... I'll take the team headed to the stage?

-The source of the violin strike is a Snover who had crept up behind Ever-
Snover: <Wieso schreist du nicht?* >
Abomasnow 1: <Geige, greif unsere Gäste nicht an.* >
Glöckchen: <Kleine Shnebedek die Gäste angreifen werden manchmal zurückgebissen.* >
-She rings her bell-
Geige: <...Na schön.* >

Hyp: <Can help keep away or attack, probably.>

Joseph: Oh, OK! I guess I'm the supporter person?

"You're with me then Pent. We'll need a heavy hitter then. And possibly Noelle to accompany us to the stage."
GIVE ME YOUR FACERen: I go with the Blood team then. I can tank for a bit but with out healing I'll be out quickly - and knowing our luck healing skill would increase Roil.

YOU NEVER HAD A CHOICE TO BEGIN WITH
Skye: Yes, yes, I know, thanks for detecting my sarcasm. Really appreciate it.

Jacob: "A lot, yes. Okay, that's bad. Let's not push the button any more."
-He rolls his shoulders- "Okay, but this is simple, right? Bust down the door and just take care of business? I feel like time is important here."

Jacob: "DIANE"
