this is Salem, a land filled with magic and maladies. It is a place where witches and their elemental familiars gather, a home to legend and
lore that predates time itself. Yet of all the wicked and wonderful stories the past can tell us of, the most magical are the ones yet to happen.
This is Salem - this is the start of your very own journey. Welcome to starfall
Starfall is an animaga witch roleplay set in mostly modern times. Members play as witches in a world plagued by monsters, where the only safe spots are walled cities. Starfall strives to be a character-driven roleplay with expansive lore and a highly interactive plotline. We want to allow members to
create and look back on a magical journey, and mold the site and its plot as their characters grow.

Jelly says she will be fine and Raven believes her. Raven has all forgotten about the crowd behind them had not for Jelly turning around, responding to a voice. Raven's eyebrow twitches and she turns around as well ready to fight--it turns out there is no need. The butlers and maids agreed to help.
Oh. That changes a lot of things. The starcaller is skeptical, and she keeps an exasperated face for about a second longer... before she concedes, sighs, and nods. "Yeay," the Knight says dryly. "About time someone shakes them awake. They had all fallen from the head maid's trap. All right, let's get her." Raven beckons the crowd--it astounds her how determined they are. Some are still wary, some even trails further behind, but most of them have alert eyes as they ascend the stairs.
The trail of blood stops abruptly, the last drop to be found on the last step before the next floor. The crowd scans the hallway, and some of them went to peek inside the rooms for a sign of the witch. Come to think of it, Raven didn't see the head bitch's familiar--but the familiar should be out considering she is able to use elemental magic.
Raven doesn't like this. She really doesn't like this. Venturing further into the hallway, they reach the last of the rooms on the floor. A maid opens the door and she is delighted to yell that she has found the witch.
But then the same maid yells, "M-my hand is stuck!" Raven freezes. What? Then the same sentiment echoes all around as people suddenly find themselves stuck onto the last thing they are holding. Suddenly, the floor freezes into ice and people begin to slip and lose their balance--including Raven.
But at the last minute before she hits the ground, she weaves mana into her voice and lets out a high-pitched scream--Siren Call. Whoever hears it would fall into a short trance--hopefully creating an opportunity for Jelly to contain the witch. But Jelly would hear it too....
The Knight doesn't know anymore. She hit the ground and for a second blacks out from the pain.

They have detected the blood trails, rather large drops until they grow smaller and smaller as they ascend the stairs, until there is nothing more. The maids and servants, now their companions in this quest, keeps searching for any leads to the witch's whereabouts; meanwhile, Jelly is telling Raven about the blood trails and their disappearance.
Jelly feels as though something is wrong. The second floor is quiet, dark, and rather chilly (however it's normal since it was a rather cold night) but something in her gut is telling her to be aware. A knot is tied to her stomach but she ignores this completely and returns to the task at hand. Bad feelings shall come last. The capture of the witch comes first and foremost, and the completion of this mission. And of course, to make sure that no one who ends up falling for this mess gets hurt.
The pinkette is silent for a moment. As they make their way to the last of the rooms in the floor, one of the maids loudly proclaims that she has found the witch. At first, Jelly is delighted. Jelly, without thinking for a second and with a large grin on her face, sprints to the room where the maid has found the goth. "Really? Where is--"
But she is stopped once the same maid shrieks -- "I'm stuck!" -- and she backs away, eyes wide. She does not sort out her thoughts properly as more voices shout that they are in the same predicament. Then the floor underneath them begins to feel slippery, and as Jelly looks down the floor has been coated in ice. She looks at Raven worriedly, hoping the Knight think of something to ease the situation--
She gets her answer rather quick, even when she hasn't said anything yet. Jelly covers her ears as Raven suddenly screams; so high-pitched that it could make her ears bleed. "Raven, what's with you--" She does not finish her sentence. Everyone is now trapped in a daze, slipping through the floor with confused and unfocused eyes-- they are probably still stuck, but Jelly doesn't mind that--
She sees the goth and, even though she seems to be trapped in the daze herself, she is grinning and waving a hand at her. Jelly does not like the sound of that. Her head is becoming disoriented and she needs to do something, right now, before Raven's spell would take its full effect on her.
Obelisk, from his fishbowl -- now soon about to lose it's water completely as there is little left from all the movement Jelly has been doing -- communicates with his witch. Soon darkness is surrounding her; but as this happens, swarms of shadow butterflies rapidly fly towards the witch. Jelly hears her screaming, cursing-- "I will kill you all--"
She conjures another cage again, and it traps the witch. But it would probably only be for a moment; the spell has taken a toll on Jelly and she kneels and collapses on the floor, eyes unfocused and in a daze.
Ah, focus. Jelly hates it since it's her weakest point.

Hello hello, thank you for waiting on me! Please tell me if anything needs to be changed! Also please take note that Jelly's spells won't last long (probably enough for others to find out) because in this mission she is still an apprentice ;v; if you have anything else to add, feel free!

Raven can't see anything. Her head throbs. Soon the blackness becomes tinged in red. The darkness is disorienting Raven so bad. She can still feel her arms, her legs, sprawled on the ground. She hits the ground hard and broke the flimsy sheet of ice.
Stupid witch. Stupid ice.
Some painful seconds pass by and Raven begins to collect her wits. The tiny shards of ice hurts her arms and legs as she attempts to stand up. Cuts begin to bleed and Raven winces. A glance reveals that everyone has been affected by the spell. Not surprising, since they are contained inside such a small space. A swirl of darkness catches her attention on the far end of the hallway--and there she is, the vile witch, disoriented and hazy, inside a a cage made by purple hues of shadows.
No time to waste. If she has to act, she has to do it now. Dai is summoned, and he gallops towards the evil witch with his antlers already burning. Raven and Dai summons two fire whips and hooks the witch's legs and arms in them. Raven tugs forcefully at the whip, toppling the maid over. Unable to make any defense the head maid collapses to the ground.
Many things happened at the same time. Exhausted, Raven falls to her knees, only to find that the ice has disappeared. The effects of the Siren call starts to fade and people starts to regain control of themselves. Dai keeps the fire whips burning for a while. Raven thinks it would scar the evil witch permanently, so he tells Dai to cut some slack.
"I think it's over," Raven says. She looks around for Jelly. "Jelly, I think it's finally over."
