The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
Previously . . .
Archibald, the Wizard conjures the ordinary but gifted protagonists into an unknown location inside of another dimension, telling them that they've been gifted with unique abilities and supernatural powers from throughout the multiverse. They were tasked with questioning Franklin, another Wizard, who was in London, about what he was doing, why he was teaching magic users en masse. Bringing a cooperative Franklin into custody, the protagonists enjoy exposition from Franklin back at Archibald's palace dimension.
Summary of exposition:
There are three kingdoms throughout the known multiverse. Earth is just outside those three major realms. One ruler is very good, one ruler is somewhat bad, and one ruler is kind of good. Basically Earth is in danger of being recruited and/or annexed into the three way civil war for years to come. To make things worse, there are many spies throughout Earth's territory, and there are multiple targets for espionage and/or assassination.
Martha Cunningham, a powerful witch located in Haven, Maine, and Wei Huang, a powerful martial artist who is in Aztec, New Mexico, both high profile targets. The group, now split into Team Light and Team Dark go to Aztec, New Mexico, and Haven, Maine, discovering that Wei is under attack by a small zombified army, and that hundreds of children are in a mysterious coma in the small town in Maine.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
Henri gives a firm shake back and scrunched up her brows
"What are the children's symptoms? Are there any common factors amongst them? Is there any record of a Trouble causing something like this before?"
Henri wondered if this was more on their side of a problem or another Sin or worse, another Inheritor. But another thought occurred to her then
"This is Ken" she gestured to her companion. "Don't let his appearance fool you, he's a capable fighter"

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
Scrunching his face, Ken picks up a rock before he chucks it fastball style at Henri as he continues delving farther and farther into an alien mentality in the effort to protect himself from mind readers that seem to be aplenty in their group.
He very much dislikes people being able to cipher his name so easily that he's been trying to not be thrown around easily with the apparent magical nature of all of this. Who knows how much value anything has when the supernatural becomes involved.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
While Henri and the Kid keep talking to the cop Marc decides to start digging for Martha Cunningham, Sherlock is on his way and he still hasn't pinged that he found something. But still Marc feels like he needs to get moving. Opting for easy solutions usually being the best, he googles Martha Cunningham on his phone, looking for an address, and info on the person.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
Henri doesn't react when the rock lodges into her head. She keeps talking as the rock moved into her head as the area around it dissolves into bugs, moving the rock towards ger mouth. With a cough, Henri spits the rock into her hand and discreetly flicks it back at the kid when she puts her hand down

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
"Well yes. . . a Trouble has done this before. Only last time the victims of this Trouble had dreamless sleep. Asking what the symptoms are, the symptoms seem to be dreaming. The children are all sleeping, but they're in a dreaming sleep. The local newcomer Martha Cunningham seems to be comforting them in their sleep."

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
While the flicked rock didn't really hurt the kid much...it still hurt. Very few would take the pain badly, much less the kid or the ocean of rage inside of him. However...in his head, a small page of a picture book appears. And he turns full red. Every part of himself that was pure white before, turns blood red as he begins walking towards Henri slowly as steam seems to be fuming from his head in an almost cartoonish manner.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
The bugs didn't seem to catch anything odd, except for the occasional child falling to sleep out of nowhere. At the Haven hospital, there appears to be a witch in the lobby. This was a most unusual site.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
Seeing what her bugs were reporting, Henri decided to focus on the mission then getting into a fight with her teammate
"I'm gonna check out the hospital and a possible lead" she told Ken and the cops
Henri vanishes in a swirl of flames and arrives at the hospital. She walks up to the old woman that loomed lime she walked off the set of Lord of the Rings
"Hello"

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
In a calming pool of unknown resolve, the kid continues walking forward. It seems almost as if he can't hear a thing, and even with the might and unstoppable nature of his other 2 Inheritances, he's not stopping from walking closer.
Albeit, neither of those 2 seems to mind him going up to Henri. Probably due to it not really being out of a blind rage...but something more familiar. And quite ironic, but not that it would be known to anyone here, what with the Force user not being here to mediate the situation.
Either way, the kid's body seems to shift from under his skin as much of his power becomes unbound with the desire to punish those who have done harm to a member of the B̸̶̩̥̝̫̯͚̜͉̖͖̫̯̦̹̲̯̭̮̳́͘͟l͕̰̬̠̜̭͇̯̘̼̱̙̫̞͘a̹̫͎̱̙̠͜͜ ̙̰̞̣͖͙͔̳̲̝̰͍ͅc̷̨̠̪͖̹̜͈̮͖̜͍͍̲̩̟͔̖̮͎͢k҉̷̤͙͍͈͍̰̤̘̟́͟͢ ̫͈̖̖͎ ̸̧͚̗͈͍͓͕F̢͇̬̣͔̫̖̖͉͔̩̲̺́o̶̵̡͔̻̝̞͓̣̣͎̲̭̖̝r̸̡̢̢̪̲͎̯͝ͅ ̪̭̲̪̞͍̹̪̫̺͇̞e̸̵̫̭̙̖̙ͅͅs̢̛̼̣̼̲̪t҉̴̨͙̥͕̤̥͚̥̪̰̘͚̗͎̀̀ͅ ̭͖̼͖̞. Whether the kid should be feared though is debatable.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
"Well, I don't know. The children are all in a sleep, like you know. If I wasn't here they would be suffering nightmares."
"As it turns out, they are living the same day over and over again. Before I came they were in a nightmare, I have managed to replace their nightmares with sweet dreams, but I'm afraid if they remain in this sleep for too long, eventually they will die. Some strange energy is slowly consuming their consciousness, once that's done, they'll be dead."I am ArlEammon. I've been here since 2004, but I've lost access to my other account.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
"Do you know who's causing the nightmares or have you figured out what connects the children?"
Henri was starting to become frustrated with her lack of being useful to the situation. She didn't have telepathy nor the means to stop the energy drain
"You gotta give me somewhere to start. An idea of where to begin, anything"

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
"I was actually thinking of getting her where we met. But that's also an option."
"Okay as I see it, this is happening here, to non specific children. So moving somewhere else is probably a good idea. What is causing It might follow, and stop happening here in Haven and give us a lead. Or it might not follow, giving us more room to examine the kids. Anyway doing nothing won't give us answers."
As he was speaking he mentally commanded the shadow of the greatest detective ever to look for whoever was behind this.Thanks a lot Gengy for the awesome... just a sec... avatar. :)

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
It's only at this point that Ken manages to actually get close to Henri after turning red, and with his small stature and nonchalant but steady pace towards them, nobody seemed to be paying attention to him. Of course, it's hard to not after what he's about to do.
His chest splits to reveal his 'beak', which looks like a blood-red fleshy jaw that split into four sections lined with teeth and muscle. While he normally couldn't do much harm even if he wanted to, now, this 'beak' would very well be able to crush a person caught in its jaw like a wet bag of blood and gore.
And with his short stature, it's gonna basically de-leg Henri.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
There was a solid whump, as another Inheritor left Archibald's care, signalling the arrival of what was, by all appearances, cybernetic anubis, who looked around the entrance of the hospital.

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
Henri turned to the latest arrival in their little crew and was at a lost of words. She had no idea how to even begin processing what she was seeing but to take it in stride
"We're trying to figure out who's trying to kill the town's children through nightmares. Me. Cunningham here has been keeping them in a dreamlike state to lessen the stress and effects. But it's only delating their deaths not stopping it. Do you have a way of getting in their psyches or revigorating their life essences?" Henri asked hopefully
The water in the bay rippled and swayed as did gravity itself. In a flickering flash, the infamouse Castlevania had appeared

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
"I- Watch out!"
Seeing what looks to all intents and purposes is a monster trying to take the limbs of one of the people around him off, Erick does the smart thing and shoots at Ken, a pulse of bright blue T-Energy plasma launching towards Ken while a field of blue hexagons snaps into being around him.Originally Posted by Me

Re: The Inheritance Wars (Team Dark)
Henri turns around at the commotion and sees Ken trying to attack her but the new guy stopped him dead in his tracks. With an exasperated sigh she pit some more space between herself and Ken
"Kid, seriously, calm the hell down"
She turned back to Martha and spoke to the new guy too
"Should we start moving the kids to the castle now?"
