[Area] Seth's Dream dome

Regardless of people's reactions, Medi continues...with whatever she's doing.
It's not pretty.

After a few moments of contemplating, the other girl sneers.
"Heheh...I got it, Medicine...The greatest plan...He'll get his just desserts AND we'll get what we've come here for! It's infalliable! IT'S PERFECT!"

She starts to chuckle, which evolves into a full blown laughter, bordering on maniacal.
You could even almost hear something weird overlayed into it, too.

Charlotte is startled by Raine springing out of bed!
"ack!" She looks between Raine and Lambda, trying to gauge the situation.
By the time she gathers her bearings however, Raine is already off and walking away.
"...Lambda! Wh-what is she doing? Why is she going TOWARDS the commotion?! We can't just let her go off and possibly get hurt! We're supposed to protect her! Thoren will probably literally kill us!"

Charlotte grabs her hand and speed-dashes them closer towards Raine, leaving a trail of red fading afterimages behind her.
She's pretty fast, that's for sure.

Meanwhile, the dead seths watch the commotion unfold.

Raphael turns to look at the others.
"HEY, THE NEXT ROUND HAS BEGUN. ARE WE READY TO JUMP BACK INTO THE FRAY OR NOT?!"
The others converse to themselves for a moment before appearing ready. It seems they're back to full strength after listening to Mac's song for a short while, despite the complaints.
Rudolph is checking the messages on the message board, and nothing seems to be really getting any better. At best they'll probably get a Pyrrhic victory.
He doesn't look like he's going to be doing any fighting any time soon.

Mac is appearing to be having too much fun with his keyboard to fight.

The others in the crowd however, seem quite pumped for another shot at beating up the Scourge, despite their efforts often leaving much to be desired.
Jasper, currently with Jake, also is excited to resume fighting.

Fighting is just the thing that seths seem to assume they are meant to do, and for the most part, they're at their best when they get to fulfill this personal need.

The crowd of dead seths let out a collective battle cry and await Raphael's orders.
"GREAT. ON MY MARK, WE SHALL RIDE INTO BATTLE!" Raphael makes grand gestures to the far-off battlefield with his skeletal hands.
He keeps them paused in anticipation for a moment, waiting for the perfect timing.

As Jake runs off to join the army of dead seths, Niki is too tired and too depressed to do anything substantial. Micha's gone and there's nothing she can do to change the fact.
She has the vague feeling that all this effort may have been for naught. There might not even be a world beyond this one, let alone one where the light can be free to shine down upon it. For all she knows, there could be no Gene universe to hope for, and those that had been there were only mistaken or imaginary.

Perhaps there truly is only void.

Suddenly however, she senses something abnormal. It's just for a moment, but it's enough to snap her out of her sadness.

The forces of probability have shifted dramatically.
The cards has been shuffled, and possibly tossed into a 52+ pickup involving a mismatched deck of poker cards, uno cards, a stack of business cards, a get out of jail free card, and a moldy credit card.
Niki Card is feeling part of that messed up pile too, but something is different.
With things laid out differently, perhaps they do have a chance at winning.

Perhaps there is hope.

Niki wipes her tears on her sleeve and takes a deep breath. What tricks does she still have up her sleeve? Does she have any unique ones left? She already used gamebirb enough to be a little exhausted of using it, she's already used her cornstaff for not one but two incredibly powerful attacks this night. She tried going pickle-inspector-tier earlier, but got deflected nearly every time to the point of running out of ideas.
She has the slightest feeling that this could be her last chance to do her dance at the space jam, however the heck she would wind up "dancing" or whatever.

She's gotta think of something.

Niki remembers something funny. Something she had added into Shiny's rpg maker game for the heck of it, that wound up being the thing that sealed Chronos' fate.
The screen cat. Remembering that thing makes her laugh slightly. It was so ridiculous but so worth it.
she thinks back to all of her past rpg maker exploits. The exploding pianos, the waddle dee children, dotface the seedot... and, wait a minute, did she see Mimi So&So somewhere around here? Like, legit in the flesh actually here for realsies? Not just a figment of her imagination?
Niki scans the crowd, searching for Mimi.

She isn't having very much luck this way.

"Hey, anyone know a Mimi So&So? I'm looking for her!" Niki yells into the crowd.

After a while, Niki finally loosens her hold. She wipes her tears and takes a deep breath.
"...um, thanks. I, think I needed that."

"No problem. We've all been through a lot here." Mimi looks out at the commotion far away. Tons of falling objects behing held in place, a giant robot being doused with a metallic fluid ,a glimmering angel fighting off the darkness from a single figure, a firework being launched off to a place in the sky difficult to make out... A lot's going on over there it seems.

Honestly, Mimi wants to stay out of the spotlight for the most part. Do they need back-up? She doesn't exactly have anything special. Most of what she has is nothing. But that's okay.
It looks like this, this light player, whatever her name might be, clearly isn't in the right condition to do any fighting.

It's at this point that she finally notices that a certain someone has been playing some custom vaporwave jams. Mac plus, the seth that once occupied her grapppling hook for a little while. He's, really good at this, way better than he was at fighting. Mimi wonders if he has any sort of fame where he erm.... floats around. She's not exactly particularly fond of his kind of music, but it's at least calming.

Niki takes a moment to watch from her vantage point as well, with a pair of binoculars. It looks like Raine... wait is that Raine? Yelling at... wait a minute, Charles isn't a heart player, is he? Must be post scratch. There's also a handful of knights with a vaguely familiar girl in white, one with a cannon. Also, okay, what the heck is Raz doing? It looks like he has like, a chaos emerald or something, and crazy lightning is zapping around him. Now that Niki thinks about it, she's heard stories from shiny about how her version of Raz post scratch is like, an anime master or something. It definitely shows on this side as well, that's for sure.
"...it looks like they're pulling out all the stops over there... I don't think I have any cool moves left in the tank to compete." Niki sighs. "I feel kinda left out. Maybe I am a terrible leader."

"Wait, you're supposed to be the group's leader?" Mimi asks her.

"Well, I pretended for a while at least. Our group never really had a proper one. Those that could lead worked by themselves practically, and most of the time we barely did anything out here. We're kind of a mess."

Mimi nods and listens. "Huh, yeah. That sounds about right. The crew I joined barely even knows each other. We pretty much just shared a living space and kept distant most of the time. It's only been like... I dunno, all our clocks stopped working once we got out here. Even Charlotte's been clueless and she's supposed to be some kinda time worshipping lizard person. Who's also a time player! But yeah, don't be too frustrated about teamwork not working that well, it happens." Mimi glances out and then looks back at Niki. "But hey, look at us now. Maybe you're not exactly with them, but look at how far we've gotten! Not to mention your moon dealie earlier. I'm sure they appreciate that."

Niki smiles a little, but there's still an unshakable feeling of detachment. "Thanks I guess. I still feel like I barely have any friends though. With Micha gone and all, I think all I really have is Patrick and Nora. Something tells me they'll probably abandon me as soon as they can though..." she looks down at the ground.

Mimi says something. "...if they're really your friends, they won't leave you so easily. I'm not sure how well you know them, but friends made out here tend to stick for a while." She puts a warm hand on Niki's shoulder. "Good friends are pretty valuable out here after all."
