[spellbreaking]

( for once, Belle isn’t cleaning so much as she is poking around in things that she probably shouldn’t be touching at while Rumplestiltskin isn’t in his room to keep her from his things. it isn’t all that often that she ventures into his room (save for cleaning it) so it’s safe to say her curiosity has likely gotten the best of her; and at the moment, she’s not aware she’s being recorded by her little trinket that was likely left behind in here when she was cleaning up )

Just what are you up to lately, hm…? ( she’s walking her fingers along the various oblong shaped bottles that hold a variety of potions within their confinements, tilting her head at some, narrowing her eyes to others to better see the contents — but never does she pick one up ) I wonder what this—

( her subconscious gets the better of her, though and imagining a noise (or possibly truly hearing one) Belle jerks to stand upright again. veering her body rather quickly to look at the door, she’s startled to see that no one is there but even moreso at the noise of shattering glass — she’d knocked a vial over )

Oh no!

( she’s about to kneel and grab the pieces when from the ground where the bottle shattered, a vast, thick purple colored fog erupts and covers the whole of the room, causing the device to lose Belle’s form as she’s engulfed by it. although it can’t be seen anymore, Belle stumbles through the ‘cloud’ to the window in the hopes that opening it will cause the mess to disperse but it fails and soon she’s coughing from the thick smoke-like substance )

Rumple—! ( alas, he’s not home after all, so crying out to him won’t work! ) —help me!

( the coughing continues, as do the calls for help, but otherwise the purple vastness is all that remains to be seen on the camera )

Belle--!

Don't breathe. I'll be there in a minute!

[Having no idea what that smog could be, he heads for the shop as fast as he can. Stupid lack of teleportation spheres.]

—Tidus!?

( she recognized that voice! thank goodness for the recorder! but, don't breathe, he says! good grief!

her hands are covering her mouth to keep whatever she's released from entering her lungs although she does continue to cough and hack — not breathing isn't an option of course and thus far the fog isn't really harming her so much as it is keeping her trapped in the room )

Be careful!

[Video --> Action]

[blitz_acing]

You be careful!

[casting haste on himself, he runs the rest of the way there. from looking at the windows, he can see which room is currently filled with smoke. he rushes in and heads for Rumplestiltskin's room, jumping into the smoke. It takes some effort not to breathe in the substance when he shouts.]

Belle?!

( action )

[spellbreaking]

( by now, she's let herself fall to her knees in the purple haze, continuing to choke on the smoke as she wretches cough after cough. she's already attempted to crawl out of the room only to realize she just can't find the door in the mess of fog and already injuring her hand by touching the broken glass on the floor in her attempts, she's decided to remain stationary for Tidus to find her instead

hearing his voice, she looks up (as though that would even help to see him) at the sound of him ) Tidus—! ( her voice is strained )

Be careful, there's glass!

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ as the feed came to life sebastain knew that no good would come of it. not even he would consider poking around in his friends things. ]

Belle. [ as the glass tumbled to the ground he called out to her ( like it'd do any good ) but his words became undermined by the shattering of the glass. a thick purple haze filled the screen and he muttered uselessly under his breath. ] Belle hang on!

[ and he pockets the communicator and heads for rumpelstiltskin's shop. damnit. leaping onto the roof of his building sebastian hurries toward it, avoiding the streets and their traffic. he's not much time... who knew what that vile had contained... ]

action;

[spellbreaking]

( let's just agree that like a cat, curiosity is bound to kill her and leave it at that, shall we?

she heard the cry of her name all too late and with the fog now surrounding her, she's utterly stuck in the room with it being unable to find the door with such low visibility

what a miserable situation to find herself in ) Sebastian—? ( that was the butler's voice she had heard, wasn't it? suddenly she's all the more embarrassed and beings to hopelessly search for the exit, letting a cry pass her lips as a palm is split opened at the glass on the floor. were she not a lady, she would have cursed from it )

Rumpelstiltskin! ( she could still beg his name for help, who knew after all, he might get home before the other man arrived to help her, although it was not likely )

action;

[sinfullysublime]

[ ...let us then hope that, like the cat, satisfaction will bring her back. but idioms aside there will be absolutely no dying, belle! not as long as sebastian's still around. ]

Belle! [ sebastian all but skids to a stop atop the neighboring roof to shout... but it's hopeless. a frown forms on his face as he scans the building for the room that she's become trapped in. about to move round to the other side of the building he catches the sweet smell of blood. ] Belle! [ possibilities as to the reason for the blood race through his mind as he swiftly pinpoints her location. hurries into the building and burst open through the door as immediately he doubles over, narrowing his eyes to try and see through the purple haze. ] Belle, are you alright, ...please, ..._{answer me.} [ worried sebastian is worried. ]

[brbgettingwrench]

[Well that wasn't good at all. It looks weird and... purple. Things like that can't be good, right?]

Please if you can try and find your way to the door and just get out of the room. I'll hopefully be there as soon as I can.

( choking on the purple haze drifting through the room, Belle heard the voice on her device and trying to locate it, she began to walk toward it only to stumble into something in the room — a chair perhaps — which led her to collapsing to her knees with a grunt )

Ah! ( wincing, she shook her head and chose to crawl instead ) Winry? ( she thought she'd recognized her voice, proceeding with her movements she felt a sharp breath inhale in a gasp as her hands sliced from the broken glass scattered on the floor. wincing, she jerked them back )

Winry, be careful! I don't know what this is doing!

( again, she choked and coughed )

video;

[brbgettingwrench]

[Winry knew if there were any injuries, she would at least have someone come to her clinic where she could look them over at least, but for now she knew to had to make her way as best as she could.]

I'll do my best, I even bring masks so to not breath in the... whatever it is.

[Naoto was quietly walking from her place of residence. It would take her a while, but she was still being calm given the situation.]

Miss, if you can hear me, I'm going to try and help you out of that smoke, so firstly please keep calm and follow the sound of my voice.

video;

[spellbreaking]

( it was a voice she didn't recognize, but Belle wasn't one to turn down help, especially in such a situation where she really needed aid. she had stumbled about and lost track of her footing, somehow in the mess of trying to get out of the room she'd managed to tear up her hands on the glass on the floor and mumbling to herself in pain, she looked toward the direction the voice was coming from.

surely it was coming the device though and wherever she had left it in the room didn't necessarily mean it was near the door. she could just end up crawling further into the room for all she knew )

I can't see, I'm sorry— I don't know where my device is...

video;

[caseofthetruth]

[She had to pause for a moment, that meant that the smoke was a lot thicker than she first anticipated, which means what she does next would have to change, especially if there might be dangerous hazards and in the worst case possibly hazard of the place being set alight. That was something she couldn't let happen in the least.]

Very well, the best thing to do is to stay as low to the ground as possible and feel the way to the door, if you feel an object that isn't the door, try and feel around it.

[Tohru had been nearby for once, but god knows if she knew what to do. She stood in the middle of Traverse Town, trying to think of what they were always taught about fire safety in school, but when it comes to the real thing....sort of, her mind was a complete blank.]

Miss, uh....I don't actually remember what to do, but I promise that I will do my best to help. I'll get some moogles! That might work.

video;

[spellbreaking]

( choking on the thick smog, she winced at the sound of the girl's voice. at least someone had heard her and while she couldn't make out the voice as someone she knew, the help was appreciated nonetheless )

Please, be careful! I don't know the full extent of this smoke's power, be it harmless or not! ( while the help was needed, she didn't want someone else to get hurt because of her stupid clumsiness. moogles might help though! she nodded, not that the other girl could see )

video;

[changingtheflavor]

[Right moogles. Tohru started to flail slightly, trying to in a panic to figure out where to fetch some, forgetting she had been to a place when she arrived before where they worked. She wasn't in the best of minds right now.]

Moogles....Where do they live. Maybe in some kind of tiny house. [She paused, walking ever so quickly, still no idea of where they were, that was of course until she fell over one in her dreamy like state.]

I'm so sorry... Oh! Moogle-san, I need you're help. [At least she found one and she was starting to sound happier for it.]

Don't worry, I will send the moogle-san to help.

[offrillsandswords]

[Lizeie looked on at the device, her friend was in trouble and she believed she was close by. So with her Vulpix, Isabelle by her side she started to make her way towards the direction she believed the place was.]

Don't worry Belle, I'm coming to help you.

video;

[spellbreaking]

( purple was all that could be seen on the video feed still, despite not being able to find her device let alone see Lizzie on it, she recognized the girl's voice easily and choking on the vapor, Belle stumbled through Rumplestiltskin's room )

Elizabeth! Be careful, I don't know if this is harmful or not!

video; ---> action;

[offrillsandswords]

I'll try my best to be as careful as I can.

[It didn't take her long to get there and attempt to make her way into the room, dear god it looks worse in person. Elizabeth started to cough by the door as she put her device away.]

I'm here.

[Musa is sat in her room on Destiny Island as she just watches on for a moment. She knew of a way a quicker way but she had to know something first.]

Care to tell me which world you're on. Or more so where you are exactly so I can come and get you out of there?

video;

[spellbreaking]

( Musa, what a relief! someone had heard her! )

T, Traverse Town— ( she choked on the pollution filling the room ) —in Rumplestiltskin's shop!

video; ---> action;

[wantstobeasinger]

[She nodded as she transformed into her Believeix outfit. Once she had done that she transported straight into the shop.]

Right, lets's try and deal with this mess. I hope magic can help anyway.

backdated like whoa if it's still okay <3... also [Action]?

[intogold]

[Well, it might work, if only because he does keep a hold of that handy little communicator most of the time (he enjoys being audience to other people's business. it's often useful) and he's quite keyed to a certain young lady's voice.

So he catches the tail end of this and is caught somewhat by surprise. And concern, really. Depending on what she's broken, it could end... unpleasantly.

A blink of an eye and he's standing in his room, roiling smokey mess.] Belle..!

[Pls don't drown in magic. Breaking magic vials, falling off ladders. Maybe he should hire her a spotter for everyday life.]

[Action] as if i would ever say no to rumple x belle interactions

[spellbreaking]

( just because she breaks cups, falls off of ladders and smashes vials of magic, doesn't mean that she needs to have someone watching her every move! shut up

caught off guard from the eruption of smoke, she'd since tumbled to her knees and began fumbling around for her device. in doing so, she'd managed to slice up her hands on the glass she was intending on warning people of should someone find her. wincing and biting her lip to keep from crying out, she raised her head at his voice.

oh. oh goodness, this wasn't going to go well, was it? was he angry? )

Rumplestiltskin—!

[Action] hooray! <3

[intogold]

[Oh yes, all clear and irrefutable evidence that she's got this.

But at the moment he's not really thinking on that too much. He's a little more worried about Belle, about the shattered vial, the lingering (and quite obviously magic) fog.

But hearing her voice has him spotting her. A couple spry steps and he's trotting over to her side, reaching down to settle a hand at her elbow, the other at her waist, more or less dragging her to her feet.] Up we go now, deary.

[Once he has her up, it's a quick gesture of his hands that has the smoke beginning to spin, condensing in on itself and forming a tiny little tornado, smaller and smaller before all at once it pops out of being all together.]

Quite the mess! [A soft clucking of his tongue, before he ads.] Are you all right?
