(( Blight broke Mags XD When Essex damped the powers, Mags' defenses went *poof!* ))

Virelai simply gave out a sniffle as she snuggled into Essex's stomach, one again implanting her thumb right into her mouth forlornly...pleased at the fact that it wasn't bleeding anymore, and upset that she had bothered Miss Essex.
Devin, being perfectly and entirely natural, was looking around the room with a bit of curiosity, wondering what the hell had just happened. The lazy gaze returned to his eyes, and he looked up at Essex with a girlish, innocent giggle, clutching his doll close to him, pointing at Jake with one hand. "He started it with the spiders. He...swarmed the place with them. Blightlord also started hitting...uh..." He pointed over at Burning, not aware of his name. "...They need to be punished, right? They look...haahahahha..ahheeehehe...they...look...heeh ehahahaha...like they'd...be nice for dessert. They're...bad...people...haaahahahaha..." Devin licked his lips in anticipation, his eyes, still half-closed in his usual lazy gaze, glinting in a maniacal shimmer. "I...can rrrrrend their flesh...haahahhaha...snap their bones, tear them out into powder...drag their lifeless forms, without legs, their intestines trailing along the ground to splatter gore every whichway...clutch their still-beating heart and wring it until every...haahrhehahHAHAHHahahhEEEhehehee...every... heehehe...drop of blood lies in a pool at their lifeless feet." Aside from the bouts of his insane laughter, his entire voice was calm and quiet. "Bad...people need to be punished. They...cannot be allowed to continue to be bad, yes? Only...good people are allowed...heehehehehehehe...yes..."
"Oh dear." Essex said simply.
Glancing down into her lap, she paused. She got these kinds of children every once in a while...and they were always somewhat difficult to take care of.
Rosalind's eyes widened.
"...Is human good?" she asked Devin, eyes saucer wide and tail wagging wildly.
"Regardless of whether it is or not..." Essex said with a little smile, "...I'm afraid I've already decided that we're having strawberry shortcake for dessert. But thank you, Devin. I'm glad to know what happened. Now."
Turning her eyes to Burning, she lifted a hand to him placatingly. "Don't any of you worry. Your powers will be back soon. I just don't want anything distracting you while we have a talk, all right? Now then."
Looking at Blightlord, she wagged her finger slightly. "Now then...Playing is one thing, but I won't tolerate bullying. It's like I said, we all have to learn to play nicely with one another. Some people can take roughhousing better than others. So please respect each other."
"And as for right and wrong..." she said, smiling at Devin. "...It's very true that people do things that are wrong. But right now...you're all still learning what right and wrong are. So give each other a little breathing room - there are a lot of situations where it's difficult, or people don't know what they're doing is wrong. We'll sit down and talk about it in more detail later."
With that, she let out a good-natured giggle.
"But no. We certainly won't be eating anyone today. I try to make it a habit not to eat my friends."
((OOC: And to respond to an earlier comment, YES...playing Essex like this is driving me INSANE. But I love it. XD; This is actually how I'd imagine her to be if she got older and ...omg...STOPPED WORRYING ABOUT EVERYTHING.))
Japancakes.

Magda seemed soothed by Essex's calm, and stopped repeating the phrase, her shivering calming into a slight purr as she cuddled into her hand.

((Stopped worrying about everything? What're the chances of that?))
Devin's lazy face grinned at Essex's judgement. "Yes ma'am, mother superior." He once again lifted up his hand in a salute, smacking audibly against his forehead, but not even wincing from the contact. His weary gaze traced over across the ground over at Rosalind, nodding to her slowly. "I'm...a good boy. I'm a very very good boy...hehehehe...very, very good indeed. I...like to help people, make them all better...and I only hurt those who are mean and nasty and not nice...haaahhahahahaheheheh..." He quickly stumbled over and flopped over, putting his arms around her in a tight hug, his face resting on her shoulder. "I'm a very good boy. We can be...hehehe...friends?"
Virelai perked up at the mention of strawberry shortcake. Her face glowed as she managed a grin. She loved strawberries. She gurgled happily as she buried her face once again into Essex's stomach. "Thank you, miss Essex..." She muttered timidly, trying not to bother her once again.
((I knew it! Nobody can keep a drama wh0re down!))
Experiment's smile could not have widened any more than it had at the mention of strawberry shortcake.
"Huzzah! I love strawberries!" he shouted, practically jumping up and down in delight.
((That is, yet again, ANOTHER thing me and 2.0 have in common. Strawberry love FTW!!!))
Blightlord scowled at Devin. "I highly suggest you don't. Attempting to eat me would be an unpleasant experience."
Burning looked like he was going to be sick, from worry and Devin's suggestion for a punishment. He thought Blightlord was mean, but who deserved that?
Danica grinned widely. Dessert! She quickly ran in behind the others.

'Strawberry Cheescake!!!"
Sienna'a wings fluttered excitedly but she couldnt lift off with her magic dampened.
She muttered excitedly in fairy language but it was barely audible with her sonic abilies.
So there were just a few chirps from the small faiery and she hopped around excitely trying to fly.
The kitchen was so far off for someone as small as Sienna was currently.
Hitchhiking was the ticket she started climbing up Burnings leg.

Burning smiled and let Sienna climb onto his hand, and set her on his shoulder before walking behind the others.
Blightlord watched the others leave. Once more, he wished he had his poisons back. A few days with a house full of children with food poisoning would have caused some interesting trouble.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

Devin once again managed his lazy smile over at Blightlord, matching the monster's scowl with a sleepy smirk. "Naaah...I doubt it. But there's only one way to find out, right?"
Muck and Guck raised their toy swords defensively.
Blightlord held up a hand and they let them drop. "Perhaps," was all he said before heading upstairs.

Virelai simply stayed with Essex, keeping a wary eye upon the two, still suckling her thumb thoughtfully.
Devin simply shrugged and clung to his doll, cooing in it's "ear", clinging tight to it as he headed upstairs.
Stell hurried up to Virelai, only stumbling once when she tried to lift into the air by reflex only to find herself grounded. Recovering before she fell, the kheldian child kept even with her friend and smiled.
Looking up from her notepad, Ani poked a foot at her immobile toys before shrugging and walking after the others. A few notes appeared on her pad about setting up low-tech traps in case of further power-dampenings.

Jake smiled at the mention of Strawberries, "Hey, not that powedered crap they got in the Zig right? Real berries?"

(([pokes the suddenly-dead thread] <_< ))
((Where did Khell go? T_T I can't raise a bajillion metachildren by myself...
You never call and you never do the dishes when it's your turn and I'M GOING HOME TO MOTHER~ *flails and runs out of the room*))
Essex stood, nodding.
"Yes, but that's not until dinner. So let's everyone be good until then."
With that, the blue field lifted off the entry way, and powers returned, the children allowed to run free once more.
"Remember that I'm counting on all of you to get along, okay?"
"Okay, Miss Essex!" Rosalind called out, having poofed back to humanoid form once power had been restored.
Japancakes.

Sienna had grown tired with the power drop. She had been expending far more energy than she could have normally, but Magda's adrenal boost certainly helped till it was cut off.
She laid down on Burning's shoulder and pulled his collar* over herself like a blanket. She snored little musical notes gently. Once powers were restored the notes took the shapes of little music notes made up of fairy sparkles until each faded in sight and sound.

Magda giggled in her sleep in Essex's hand when the powers were returned, and a bubble encased her almost immediately. A defense mechanism? Perhaps. The bubble floated up, and Mags kissed Essex on the nose, emitting a scent of roses and honeysuckle before floating off to settle on a windowsill.

"Aaah!" Schizo yelled as he reappeared, and Hallucinogen's green smoke returned. "Whadda hell was DAT allabout?"
Jake smiled, making an illusion of himself just to test the power's return "Boss lady made powers go poof"

"Achoo!" <faboom!> "Awww..."
Stella sighed in her Mefnanim form. Wiggiling through the air, she coasted over to the suddenly reactivating toy robots.
"I gotta headache." Ruby complained.
"You need a head first for that." Diamond replied as she bonked him on his head. "And you either don't have one or don't use it."

2.0 blinked. glancing around once again.
"...Was somethin' supposed to happen?" he muttered, before shrugging indifferently.
Sienna who was slipping down slightly pulled at the collar like she was wrestling for the sheets with a bed-hog.
Burning's shoulder looked like there was a large glitter accident by this time.

Magda simply huddled there in Essex's hand... apparently her years in the dark court had not exposed her to enough direct attacks like this one.
"'m no' a bug...no' a bug...no' a bug" her form wavered between a tiny winged kitten and a tiny winged girl, as if, without her natural magic to direct it, her form didn't know what to settle on.
