Oh Keiko.
You aren't very good at the musical incantations are you?
Regardless!
The chaotic effects on Jace's home are undone!
As well as the sneezed off roof.
Which is probably a good thing. Losing your roof is never pleasant.
Peasants are still there, though. Mostly because none of them are in Jace's house. Can't fix everything, apparently.
Geneva, meanwhile, is looking over her AR display, trying to figure out where Fortuna went next. If only there were some way to draw her out...

"You got it, Cloud. I'll see ya then." she says, and maybe Cloud can imagine the wink she would have added had she said it in person.

Nick goes over to Geneva and looks over her shoulder. "You know, if we just need to find her we could probably just go somewhere secluded and ask her to show up. She's had some fun, and I don't think she's so far gone that she wouldn't show up if we tried it a few times. We're her friends. That's why she came to Vallarm's, after all."
Re: Home 22: Our neighborhood watch is extra vigilant
Keiko looks a little sleepy
That was a lot of work... Think we could get something to eat before we call her? I'm kinda hungry now.
Re: Home 22: Our neighborhood watch is extra vigilant
[Jace's Place]
Well...
At least the house is fixed...
Whatever was causing the rolling might still be around, though. Probably good that Jace stays away for a little while.
Geneva nods at Nick's suggestion. "That's a good idea. There are plenty of secluded places we could set up camp, far enough away to ensure that any chaos doesn't adversely impact onlookers."
Those poor onlookers.
The hippogriff begins checking her maps, searching for a decent location when-!
A dragon announces she's hungry!
Keiko is regarding with that very birdish look peculiar to birds of prey. It's rather difficult to read. "Alright," Geneva sighs. "Better to be prepared. We'll get a meal and then decide on a location for summoning Fortuna. If that doesn't work we'll go back to tracking her."
But where to acquire food?
Keiko's the one who's hungry. Maybe sh ehsould pick?

Without the bubble, the Dice is an inanimate object that shouldn't be much of a threat, though they don't know that.
"Yeah, sure fine. Gives us more time to prepare, I guess." Nick says, a bit impatient. Silly Keiko.
Re: Home 22: Our neighborhood watch is extra vigilant
[Jace's Place]
Without the bubble the die of wonder is still a die of wonder, but at least it can't roll itself over and over again. It's just sitting on the top floor of Jace's house somewhere.
Geneva frowns slightly at Nick. Be nice! Obviously what they're doing is important, but they can't afford to make their friends feel bad. Friendship is the most powerful defense they have against chaos magic. She smiles at Keiko. "Actually, I think I have a solution. Give me just a moment."
Then the hippogriff closes her eyes, concentrating, as she de-rezes into a mess of Geneva-colored pixiles-
-which promptly turn various shades of pink before resolving back into a mew!
She's much smaller now.
The concentration doesn't stop, either. Instead her focus deepens as she begins gathering power between her tiny little paws! The glow quickly softens into a totally innocuous looking egg! Said egg is nearly as large as Geneva. The pokemon zips over to Keiko, offering the treat. She looks a bit haggard from the effort, but otherwise fine. "Hu...hu... there!" she says, panting as she works at catching her breath. "Eat this! You'll feel much better."

Veronica is about to answer Jace when the call happens, so she turns to Khannie with a smile to answer her instead. "You can spar with him if he lets you. He knows what he's doing so he won't be as flimsy as Jace or I would be." Veronica explains as she listens with one ear to Jace's side of the phone conversation. "Is there any dessert you'd like to have after your pizza?" She asks before her smile fades when her boyfriend mentions that he has to lay low for a while. She's silent for a bit, frowning in thought before her smile comes back though significantly weaker than before. She doesn't show her worry otherwise though. "Khannie? How would you like to go pick up a sleeping bag, pillows, and pjs for a sleepover for the next few nights? It's summer after all."

"I doubt it'll take more than 24 hours to get things resolved. And I honestly don't think there's any permanent damage, but they didn't find what was causing the randomness, so it would be best to make sure things have quieted down." he says before adding with a smile.
"And yes Khannie, I'll write you a note for your teacher that your homework was delayed due to unforeseen chaos magic."
Re: Home 22: Our neighborhood watch is extra vigilant
[Pepper Oni's]
Khannie's eyes don't literally light up at all this talk of delayed homework and sleepovers and dessert and sparring and all sorts of amazing things, but they WOULD be lighting up if they could. "I want a banana split and sparring would be great and can we sleep over at Miss Veronica's dad can we please that would be so cool!"
Less cool is still doing homework.
Khannie has plenty of schooling to catch up on given that she was off in a school-less pokemon world for so long.
A child needs a good education!
"Dad can I get some pajamas with frogs on them? Not like a politoad, but one of those funny animal frogs like they have at the pond!" she continues, still very much riding high on her anticipation of what kinds of amazing adventures might be around the corner. After all, Nick Jr hasn't been around as much to play with. She needs other children to have fun. And apparently she's finally starting to make sense of normal animals.
Normal animals are new and fun.

The softboiled egg (and it really is softboiled, too) is packed with rejuvenating power. If someone were at the edge of battered and bloodied, it would restore them to full vigor while closing their wounds. But for someone who's just hungry? Well, it'll be quite the pick-me-up to say the least. Gotta love those energy restoring eggs.
Geneva quickly Transforms back into hippogriff shape. Because she really can't go NEARLY as fast as she would like as a mew.
"Alright, are we ready?" Geneva asks. She doesn't appear to be at quite one hundred percent. Using softboiled like that takes a bit out of her.

Keiko nods
Thank you so much: that was great! And yes, let's go! Sorry for the delay.

Nick nods.
"I have the most up to date maps possible, and I think I know a spot. Follow me." says Nick, taking off to Silly Plots.

[Felandria's House]
So quiet.......
After months of serving as HQ to VIGIL, Felandria's house is finally her own again.
And her body was her own again as well.
Now she was getting ready, the lights were low, the dining room table lit with candles, dinner ready to be served in the kitchen.
Felandria was waiting for her love to arrive.
She wasn't dressed even remotely fancy, just pajama bottoms and a tee shirt.
She didn't want Lynette to think she was trying to seduce her, tonight she just wanted to talk.

Veronica frowns at Jace's comments. "Then it is a good thing you're staying with me for the next day or so. Randomness and Chaos just seems to follow you around. I'm still getting used to your ability to transform into an adorable little animal." She admits, finally cracking a smile. "When I don't do it to you myself that is." She adds, figuring he, or at least Zebes, would get the innuendo. If Khannie asks, she'd just pass it off as her potion making hobby rather than her ability to turn Jace into figurative putty in her talons.
And speaking of Khannie, as she makes her request for a banana split, she'll find herself already holding a spoon for the one next to her dinner plate. The staff is really good at their jobs here.
Re: Home 22: Our neighborhood watch is extra vigilant

Jace makes the most obnoxious eye-roll he can do without Khannie catching on.
"I'm fairly sure ninety percent of that are the same two people, but with any luck things will be calming down with the one that's left. I thankfully haven't had any contact with the first in quite some time. It'll be fine, either way. And yes Khannie, you can get some new jammies." he says with a small chuckle.
Re: Home 22: Our neighborhood watch is extra vigilant
[Pepper Oni's]
Khannie has absolutely no time to waste trying to puzzle her way through grownup innuendo.
Why?
Because there's a banana split sitting in front of her! She lays into her dessert with childish glee. And really, there's no way she's going to be able to eat that whole thing on her own. The grownups are going to have to help out, otherwise she's going to have a tummy ache in no time flat. That spoon is flashing at speeds that would make an Alakazam green with envy!
At some point she mumbles something roughly equivalent to acknowledgement through a mouthful of ice cream when her father confirms that she'll be getting new PJs.
She needs a new pair, anyway. Children grow fast.
Especially in the Nexus.
Weird, that.
[Cleo's Tower - Keiko's Nightmare]
Keiko has had many a run-in with valuable, fragile items in her long life.
The pink cat snorts
I only eat eggs, silly human.
And as if to prove the point, pulls out a large boiled egg from nowhere and starts eating it. Little Keiko takes advantage of the distraction and tries to run!
(( On further review... I think you were offering stew made from pink cat to Keiko... but dreams are always weird, so I'm sticking with this. ))
