"And... The correct answer is HELL! Teehee~"
"The virtual world referred to LCD font. So the 4 would not actually be a 'd', but an 'h'! Tricksy, aren't I?" The doll giggled its creepy laugh.
"You've beaten my first riddle... Now it's time for round TWO!" The doll jumped into the air enthusiastically.
"Regina was caught cheating on her boyfriend in the school auditorium! Who was the author!?""I actually have no clue with this one." Trevor said. "Sorry..." "OOH, OOH!" Jessica exclaimed, looking up from her intense naked-Barbie-dance. "I think I know this one! I saw this in a movie once... I don't remember the name, but it was about all these mean bitches who were out to get each other or something. All this drama went on, and, like, yeah... It was a pretty good movie. There was a really popular actress in it, too... Ugh, my mind is so totally blank right now."

James flinched. He had been doing his best to become acclimated to Yannick's overly ...physical personality, but this was a bit much, even for him. Absorbed with the need to not toss Yannick off him as hard as he could, James missed the second question. He winced even more when Yannick scratched him.
"...Yannick...move?" James said, his voice strained. The boy was obviously unstable, but there was nothing James could do about it now, and if Yannick kept hanging all over James the Enthraller didn't know what he would do.

"Mean Girls, Tina Fey."
Yannick stopped his pawing a moment and broke from his unresponsive catatonic state and turned at look at the doll, his voice quivering softly as he was still partially lost in his own mania.
"That's not a riddle at all...that's just a question. Since when did I start playing Trivial Pursuit, Seuss edition?"
And after that, he was gone, the lights switched off and Yannick let go of the trembling Russian as he slowly sank to the floor. Sitting there dumbly, he unconsciously started to change little little circumference around him, the floor shifting to something more sinister.

"The answer...is Rosalind Wiseman! Teehee!"
"When I asked for the author, I meant the writer of the book the movie was based on, NOT the writer of the script! So, nya~" The doll snidely commented to Yannick.
"You guys are almost done. Just one more riddle, and you're ready to skedaddle!"
"Way back when, thirteen constellations were painted in the sky. They were designed to map out the human race, but one was made to deceive. Which of them was the tenth true star system?""Mm, that may or may not be in our favor..." Trevor whispered back to Drinzo. "I think it'd be easier to answer it's riddles for now." "Bu this riddle..." Trevor looked troubled. "I don't have any idea with this one, either. How about you, Jessica?" "Huh?" The blonde had been deeply immersed in the barbie again. "Oh yeah, riddle! Right... Uh.... What was it again?" Alec's Characters | Trevor Level: 17 Class: Fighter Subclass: Tempter Element: Fire HP: 440/440 SP: 475/475 Status: Fine |

"It wouldnt happen to be Scorpio would it? You shouldnt try to use the heavens against a mythology buff. Not many know of the 8th constilation of the zodic that isnt in the twelve signs. Ophiuchus" Bandor responds smugly. "are we done yet"
Hanson laughes at the ease with which his boss answerd the question

James was worried about Yannick. The boy was almost catatonic, and the strange doll certainly wasn't helping. Cautiously, James moved closer to Yannick, stepping carefully near the aura of darkness near the boy and kneeling. James placed his hand gently on Yannick's shoulder.
"Yannick...come back to me, please? I'm here. I'm real. You can't change me, can you? James pulled Yannick closer, forcing himself to tolerate the intimacy.
"Please, Yannick...we need to answer the riddle, and I don't think Bandor got it right- that was too easy. Ophiuchus sounds relevant, but..." James shook his head. Something felt wrong about that.
The regular ninth constellation of the horoscope is Sagittarius, and the eleventh is Aquarius. I know that much from astronomy...
James had a thought.
"Yannick...Wouldn't it make more sense for the answer to only be off one constellation from Capricorn, the tenth? And...if 'one of them was meant to deceive", wouldn't that mean we discount a constellation, rather than add in another?"
James had an idea, but Yannick's mental health was more important than this riddle (at least it was to James), and the Enthraller hoped he could arouse the boy's curiosity and bring him out of his stupor.

The darkness twisted and curled around James' shape as he stood closer, creeping up him silently almost as though he were an extension of the Finnish youth. The Russian's touch barely even affected the absent Alice Hand who just blinked and stared at the floor. James spoke and a moment passed, a long silent moment and then Yannick began to hum eerily to himself.
"..."
It was then though that he turned ever so slowly to face James and smiled, a creepy smile mind, but a smile none the less.
"...Rat <3"
He breathed gently at his friend.
" Rat lied. Cat was late."
With a brief snort, Yannick reached out to touch James' face, again the darkness of his mind momentarily tainting the flesh of his friend.
"Poor Cat."
He said sympathetically to nobody but himself it seemed and then he giggled, the other boy now his new entertainment.

"Oh my... You all got it wrong!" The doll made a tsk-tsk gesture. "So close, too... The correct answer was Capricorn. It seems that Ophiuchus deceived you, too! Teehee~"
"Because it was never considered to be a real zodiac sign, Ophiuchus is not one of the 'true' constellations. It was useless information meant to distract you from the true answer! And since the riddle asked for the tenth true system, you could have just completely ignored the existence of Ophiuchus and gotten the answer! You all made this soooooo difficult... Hehe, it was fun to watch you ponder in vain!"
"Nice thinking with the Chinese ideation, too... Not even I thought of that! Buuuut, you still got it wrong!" The doll giggled again, but it was the last time that the group would ever hear it.
The doll began to shake.
"It was so fun playing with you all... I was really hoping you'd win, too! But... You lost... Game. OVER![/b]" The fabric of the doll began to ripple and expand, as if something was trying to get out. Something jabbed at one part and jabbed at another, and suddenly the whole doll was ripped apart from the inside-out. A huge, black mass grew from within at a frightening pace, quickly towering over them all. The hulking creature said nothing. All that could be heard was its ragged, vicious breath. Then, it charged...[/color] "Well, uh... This is an unpleasant surprise." Trevor was taken aback; the thing was simply enormous. It had to hunch so that it wasn't against the ceiling. "AIEEEEEE!!!" Jessica squealed as the creature dashed at them, clutching the Barbie to her chest. It warned you... Dire consequences.

James was more than uneasy by this point. Yannick was, more than likely, going to be a hindrance in this battle, and James felt as though retreat was the only option.
And yet, there wasn't anywhere else to go...James doubted that the monster would let them out of the building. Their only option seemed to be to fight. James clenched his staff, using what was becoming his primary spell...
Nimbus (Lvl. 3; Ele. lightning; Summon nimbus clouds to strike enemies with lightning; Sp: 50)v
...and directed the cloud at the monster, hoping it would do some good.
Ignoring the darkness surrounding Yannick (for James' own strength against darkness added to the spell still lingering on the Enthraller meant that Yannick had no effect), James put Yannick's arm around his shoulders, keeping the boy up and hopefully semi-aware of the battle around them.

Yannick allowed himself to be pulled up, stirring the corruption that was festering at his feet. It almost seemed to inch its way up as it crept up the legs of the pair, but stopped about the knee, planting them both firmly in place.
""Please Don't...!"
Yannick muttered to himself pointlessly and seemingly randomly as he hung of his friend like an accessory. But the static from James' spell suddenly seem to activate a flicker of life in the Finnish boy. It stirred him a moment, but not enough to rouse him from his psychosis. As his eyes slowly crept upwards he caught sight of the strange black mass. Was it a dream? Was it real? Unable to discern as all rationality was gone, Yannick outstreched an arm and laughed, attacking the creature by trying to imagine one of it's limbs gone. It should have been powerful only...Yannick didn't have the concentration to hold it.
