Eudial looked over at the macaw, at the conch, then at the snipe perched on her shoulder, and finally at Marisa and the reporter. "Uh... what's happened to him?" she inquired, peering at her avian party member with some amount of concern.
"What? Yeah, I will get back to your case asap Meander, just waiting for my dagger to return, please enjoy some chants that me and my Spanish Revolution will sing for you in the meantime."
TWITCH
After a while, Twitch suddenly awakens and stands bolt upright as if he'd just been plunged into icy cold water. There is a slightly dazed look in his eyes for a moment before he regains his senses. Meanwhile, the conch shell has entirely vanished without trace...
Marisa gently prodded Twitch.
"You ok, ze? You really shouldn't put random things you find in your mouth. Did it even do anything besides make you spazz out?"
She looked around to see if the shell was still around, and upon realising it was gone, shrugged and turned to the other witch.
"We really ought to go back, like the bird said. He could probably use being poked at-- in a medical way of course. And maybe we'll find something to help out Sally here. Also, that weird tree, ze, you gotta look at it~"
Twitch barely reacted to the prod from Marisa, instead continuing to stare at a nondescript point in the distance. "...yeah..." he replied, clearly not quite all there yet, "...yeah, something else happened..."
He paced over towards the sofa, dragging his wings along the floor behind him, and sat himself down in front of it, still staring at the same point. Whatever had happened inside the parrot's brain during that convulsion had clearly affected him something nasty. If nothing else, he probably just needed some time to calm down, the macaw was still pretty shaky. "...I think we should go back to the castle..." he said, to nobody in particular.
There were a great deal of things about the situation that Eudial was still suspicious about, but it was no good questioning them now. "All right," she said to Marisa, sniffling. "But if it's anything like the Hell Tree that I've heard of before, I'm staying as far away from it as I can."
Eudial shivered. She had heard rumours of that parasitic tree through the galaxies, none of which were pleasant.
TWITCH, EUDIAL, MARISA and Sally are teleported back to the castle.
The CASTLE
As the group arrive at the castle, there is a brief flickering of power and suddenly various bizarre looking technological and arcane devices protrude from the wall as a siren goes off. Severel different scanners sweep across the group before all the implements retract into the wall again as if nothing had happened.
Looking justifiably concerned, Sally asks "What was that about? Now we are here, do you think you can remove the rift from me?"
Twitch remained as still as he could while the devices did their work, before they disappeared back from whence they came, and the parrot staggered forwards a little, still trying to get his bearings after his fit. He did manage to cobble together the faculties to reach into his bag of iteming, and retrieve the truth dagger, handing it back to Aurelia.
Suddenly, though, his eyes shot open, he looked back towards the back, and frantically began rummaging through it. "He said it'd be here...c'mon, where is it?" he mumbled to himself, before pulling out a small orb and instantly flying off through the castle with it, leaving his bag of items behind. Although he didn't seem to be flying straight for some reason, he must have still been quite shaken up by the seizure...
"woah what was that i think i heard something"
