"There's no time to mess around and talk. My sister was stupid and pushed herself into doing a spell to help out.
She was never in the right condition to be doing something like that, it's worsened her condition.
The magic seems to have effected her somehow...

I... Know how to use magic too, I just hate doing it. But this is an emergency. We found another spell but I'm in a rush,
I need you to help me figure it out. It's in some stupid code and it's going to need a lot of power."

UPDATE: THE SPELL


Virgil sighs shakily as he closes his eyes, trying to mentally prepare himself. You can tell from his reaction that he doesn't want to do this, but gazing over to his resting sister he finds his resolve, sighing as he looks up, "Alright... Lend me your help if you can. If you can't... Just... don't get in the way." He hesitates only a second more before placing his hands on the sides of the book, as to prevent its pages from moving. He mutters under his breath. "This better work or...." He shakes his head, takes a deep breath and focuses on the book under him. He begins to recite the spell.



Just like with his sister before him, his body trembles with the power forming inside him, his eyes glowing brightly. Even with everyone's help and the positive healing energy of this spell, it's a taxing experience on the caster. He noticeably begins to weak as he transfers his magic to the book. Despite, he continues to chant out the spell, a cloud of energy flowing from the pages and engulfing Violet.

A continuous flow of energy builds around Violet, immediately showing signs of improving her health. Before your eyes she begins to regain color, her breathing growing steady and mobility improving. Despite her rapid improvement, Virgil seems too focused or perhaps distracted to notice. Sitting up, Violet frowns deeply, uneasy as she sees what Virgil has put himself through for her sake, "V-Virgil... It's okay.. You can stop now, I'm fine, see?" Her voice doesn't seem to reach him as his breath grows more laboured, gritting his teeth slightly as he continues, seemingly lost to the spell. Wanting him to stop, Violet tries to move but finds herself still too weak, glancing around to look for help.

Standing with you, Vregory watches, feeling lost and almost scared to see the twins in this situation, especially his friend Virgil who seemed to be struggling. His eyes shift to Violet, noticing that she seems better now, but not knowing better to fully understand the situation. However, his friend rat Eugene did know better, leaping from Vregory's jacket to dash towards Virgil. Without a thought of danger, Eugene jumps in to sink his teeth into Virgil's hand, breaking the man's concentration long enough to interrupt the spell before scattering back to Vregory unscathed. "Tch..." Virgil winces, shaking his hand but immediately ignoring it as he rushes to Violet instead, "H-hey... Are you doing okay?"

Sitting up with a bright smile, Violet laughs gently, "Of course I'm fine! You know me, tough as a nail!" Virgil frowns from the response, but is overwhelmed by the relief he feels to see his sister safe and well. However, he instead shows a scowl, upset and glancing away with a heavy frown. Knowing her brother well, Violet reads this expression clearly, "I'm sorry Virgil... I just wanted to help everyone... They've been working so hard and I... Well..."

Virgil let's out an angry sigh, his eyebrows furrowed heavily as he tries to keep his cool. After a long pause he shakes his head, muttering, "Just don't do it again... You should know better by now then to exert yourself..." he lets out a shaky sigh, turning his narrowed gaze to you all, "Yeah thanks. Shows over now. She needs to rest now. Guess I can get you something for the help... Now go"

O-oh, already. Okay...
16 looks closest to the ocean... which has a floor with no walls and well... it waves.
(can we post now?)

That's sound logic to me, Faust. Pretty sure we're allowed to post as well. I hope we can save Violet...

You were correct, it is the ocean. Let me get the next one.

I think it's the eye, number four. It's a pun off eyelash and we have two eyes, after all. How's that sound? Reasonable?

Donator — he/him Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/03/31 22:08:49 )
I didn't think of that. :o
I was thinking something to do with the wind, but yeah, 4 might be better.

Voltie — She/It Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/03/31 22:10:23 )
I can see the wind working too, but... my brain always runs for puns when it sees them. But wind does help cause whiplash sometime when it works on other forces.

Eye is right. He sighs at the mention of puns, but it's not the time to worry about it.
Let's move on to the next.

*pulls out a calculator because math is gross to her* uuuum... looks like eight.

Donator — he/him Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/03/31 22:16:36 )
224 divided by 28 is 8
so c=8.
I'm actually pretty good with math. :3

Hmm, could this be 7? When you look up at night, you can see the moon which is bright, but not its shadow.
