Looking over the various keycard readers , Loki pressed his back against a wall once more and waited, opting to wait for a person to open one of the doors for him, rather then to try and hunt down a keycard himself.

"The spell itself feels sad and empty, and once you become aware that it's working, it fails once more? Hmm... Odd. I can't say I've ever heard of anything like this before." Looking away from Sophia, Erica thought on what to suggest, taking the various factors into account. Looking back, she said, "Alright. I have an idea. It would seem that this sadness you mentioned is the factor that is holding you back. I'm not sure how this works, but that seems to be the case here. So, this time, I want you to do the same thing, but this time, go in with a diferent mindset. As you focus on the spell, concentrate on things that make you happy. Perhaps if you yourself feel more pleasant, this will counteract the sadness the spell emits."

"No one really pays attention to those types of people. And there is no transformation magic." Savranth explains.

"Dammit, where did I leave my lunch? Is it in my fridge?" A man says as he walks up to a door and slides a Key Card through the slot. The card was yellow.

(To the Rookie and Kynn: Well, I'm also a person. But I am a inanimate object with an age of several hundred years. So technically I'm a magical artefact.)
He registered the twinge of shame, followed by some hesitation. Intresting, I wonder wha- Hang on, what's that? That guy is not weak-willed, to say the least...
(To the Rookie: Subject with high will-power coming our way. Don't draw weapons or anything just yet, but stay alert.)

@Salty alright then, Rockbyrd and the forest around Holadino then.
Over the skies of Holadino, the vengeance, the venemous fang's vessel, drifted. From it, several pods fell to Earth, lighting trails behind it. It continued drifting, over to Rockbyrd, and launched a much larger group.
Lyra and her troop were wandering through the remains of Rockbyrd. "Best guess, it'll be somewhere underground. Maybe in the mines, be a good place to keep it isolated. We just need to find its location... she trailed off as she saw the shower of pods. "Lets make that a first priority."

Grace nodded, thinking...
"He can't be a Greater Chimera, I'd know that..." she muttered.
She looked at Savranth, "You'd be surprised. Mr. Verres occasionally uses Conspiracy theories to locate paranormal activities, since most of the time they have an ounce of truth in them." she said, leading to a mild chuckle
"I don't suppose you'd know what I'm even talking about." she said.

OOC: Heh, now you two are just flattering me...
Marston halted his horse and looked up at the sky, grimacing a bit.

"A person. So, you think and feel as organic beings do, despite not being a living thing?" Kynn asked with interest.
Jona glanced down the street, but as he did so, the being he had sensed was suddenly eclipsed by a malevolent shadow from a greater distance. A feeling of dread coursed through him as the cruel minds of a number of other beings approached at speed, growing stronger and stronger. He grabbed the hilts of his weapons and stared around in all directions before looking up, and seeing the specks of metal descending rapidly.
"Danger!" He cried out in alarm. Kynn glanced sharply at him then followed his gaze to the sky.
"What's that? Artillery?" He said sharply, looking around for cover.

Sophia nodded at Erica's suggestion, closing her eyes as she tried to think up as many happy thoughts as she could. Still with her eyes closed concentrating on warm summer nights under the stars, the wood cravings she loved to do, laughing with friends, entertaining/training her bunny snatching ferrets, she tried once more on the spell. This time it didn't take as long to get the effect started, probably because she had already gotten a handle of reaching this point, but as she continue, not only did the chocolate itself start to lose it's colour, but some of the brown particles started to level the orb, which the glyphs quickly removed.
Sophia still concentrating on happy thoughts still didn't see the chocolate steadily turning white, although the process still seemed rather slow.

"Not a clue..." Savranth said as he sees the vessel flying overhead. "However... I think we need to go see what that is about... I don't think the military will be able to leave the city to deal with that..." He said running off to the forest far away from Holadino.
OoC: Keep in mind that the only forest close to Holadino is to the West. And pretty far way.

Marston figured he might be needed for whatever this thing was, so he started riding toward where the ship was headed.
The Rookie drew his pistol and glanced up at the sky, using his VISR to zoom in on the metal specks.
(To Kynn, Jona & the Rookie: Hell if I know, but metal falling from the sky is rarely good. Take cover!)
Nodding, the Rookie looked around and got into cover. He brought up the zoomed picture he had taken moments ago and dropped it onto his datapad, before handing it to Kynn.
(To Jona, Kynn & the Rookie: Drop pods, could be from that huge vessel in orbit. Likely hostile. Better get ready.)

Seeing a person walk up to a door and swipe a keycard in the reader, Loki moved closer to the door and stepped behind the person, but kept enough distance that the man wouldn't bump into Loki should he take a step back. Once the soldier opened the door, Loki took a glance at the room and warped inside. Once inside, he stepped out of the path of the soldier that just opened the door and looked around the room he was in while still keeping an eye on the soldier that entered also.

As Sophia worked on the spell, Erica looked on carefully, but silently, taking in the subtle changes that were happening with the chocolate sphere. It seems to have a effect.

The pods landed in the forest, 20 in all. 110 predators and 10 berserkers disembarked, quickly moving to secure the position in the far away forest.
Jona flitted away to the nearest building. Kynn sprinted for shelter likewise, activating his kinetic barrier as he went. Finding shelter, he activated his omnitool and aimed it up at the specks. The holodisplay lit up with digits and formulas and a thin orange beam locked onto one of the pods, flicking on and off at different angles at a high rate as it tracked the object.
"The trajectory isn't right... according to this, those objeccts aren't aimed at Holadino at all." Kynn called to the Rookie and Jona. "They're going to come down several kilometres to the west!"

Savranth stopped on the outskirts of the forest, taking out the Philosopher's Blade from his sheath. "Look alive."

The soldier went behind his desk and knelled down. Opening up a small fridge, he took out a lunch box. "Aw. Much better." He said as he sat at his desk to eat the meal from the box.
