Lolodi Ball

The Lolodi Ball is a big fancy party at the Pierero mansion held during the Lolodi festival

### The witch attacks at the lolodi ball

The Lost Kids, accompanied by Kevin and Marvin, attended the Lolodi ball as a way to get across the city to The BOTP base without being caught by guards, as they were wanted criminals at the time. When they arrived to the ball Kevin told them to split up and find a back exit out of the mansion, soon after Kevin and Marvin both got called away to do guard work, leaving the four children wondering the party alone. The four of them give themselves aliases to hide their identities and explore the party. Kyra goes by Pam, and meets Mavery Fall, they hit it off drinking and having an arm wrestling contest. Evy going by the name Elodie Fall played cards, and talked with a bunch of rich people. Ollie going by Caroline makes a friend in one of the Lolodi flower girls named Tiara. Alphonse goes by Gregory, and dances with Melodius Cadenza, he tells Alphonse he knows who he is.

During dinner The kids along with Mavery, Ziko Fall, Tiara, and Mel sit together, in conversation Tiara drops hints she knows who the kids are and about the murder they committed. Mel's uncle gets up from one of the other tables to give a speech, after the final word he falls dead on the table. Among all of the panic and chaos The Lost Kids and company rush to the exit, hearing talks of this being a possible witch attack they push their way through the panicked crowed. They make their way to the front of the mansion, where they see a sky illuminated by the sky and the two moons, and beneath the now floating Pierero mansion a dark ocean. The guards quickly rush everyone back into the dining hall to tell everyone they are going to protect everyone, and they are currently looking for the culprit. The TV screen behind the guards turns on showing words that say

> **"Hello everyone**
>
>
> **Broadcasting live from the Pierero mansion**
>
>
> **It seems like there's just been a murder!**
>
>
> **What a shame.**
>
>
>
> **Happy Lolodi festival!"**
>
>

After talking amongst themselves the group decides to try their own hand at finding who the murderer is.

Tiara suspects the chef and Mel, knowing where the kitchen is, leads them there. Once in the kitchen, after some bickering between Evy and Tiara, Tiara confronts the cooks, accusing them of poisoning the food. They dont take this very well, offended that they were so thoughtlessly accused of murder, and theyre kicked them out of the kitchen.

They try to find where the guards are taking the bodies. They hear a scream.

Elma Cadenza collapses dead with her head on the table.

The screen flashes on

> **"Hello again People of Eivimeron!**
>
>
> **There goes another one**
>
>
> **Let's make this more interesting"**
>
>
>
>
> **30:00**
>
>

a countdown starts.

The guards take the body out the door. Tiara sets off a flashbang to distract the guards so they can run into where they took the bodies. Hiding from guards they overhear them in the hallway talking about a missing body. When its safe they make it to a circular room with three doors used for wine storage, inside they also find a body covered by a sheet. In the corner of the room Ollie finds a cracked bead partially turned to dust, when she picks it up she sees a very short vision of a room with a bunch of screens showing the main dinning hall, as the vision fades the rest of the bead turns to dust.

Fronce also looking for answers to the mystery bumps into the six of them in the wine room. Together they go into a square room with a bust in the middle and four statues in the back, all of the same person, with the leftmost one headless, they find that there's a keyhole in the middle statues neck. Two guards, Thaddeus and Daphne, hear them and come into the room while escorting Cyril Cadenza to safety, Thaddeus takes Mel and Cyril. Daphne takes the rest of them back to the dining hall except for Evy and Tiara who stayed unseen.

The gang, back in the dining hall, go over what they've gathered so far. Evy and Tiara explore some more, they come to a wall with two fist sized holes in it. Evy puts her fists in the holes and the wall moves up revealing the entrance to a circular room, consisting of a spiral staircase going down. As the girls are walking down the stairs it turns into a slide, they slide down into a hole at the bottom. Falling with them is a yellow bead that cracks and fades when it hits the ground, when Evy grabs it she sees the same vision as Ollie of the room with the screens.

Back to the dining hall

> **"Eivimeron!**

> **Your soldiers can't protect you!**

> **You are seen It seems you have other heroes though**

> **Can they help in time?"**
>

>
> **"I'll give them more time"**

There's a flash of yellow light in the middle of the room and a body falls to the ground.

Evy and Tiara find themselves in a dark room, flipping the light switch triggers a water bucket to fall on them, and a camera to take a picture. The picture of a soggy Evy and Tiara with the words "Happy Lolodi ball assholes" written on it slides out of the camera. After looking at the mess of string and board that pranked them, they go through a door in that room that leads to another room with 3 busts the leftmost headless, and in the middle there is a key sticking out of the keyhole in the neck. They turn the key and the room starts going up.

Ollie Al and Kyra looking for Evy and Tiara find a corridor that gets smaller as they walk, until its only Ollie who can fit. At the end of the tiny hallway there is a room with a table and a miniature replica of the Pierero mansion sitting on top. Looking inside Ollie sees every room in the mansion in amazing detail, she finds the room with the screens she saw in her vision, as well as the back exit.

They all find each other again and go back to the dining hall to look for clues.

The screen flashes but with no text this time. Mel and Cyril appear in the air and fall to the ground, they look confused, Cyril falls again, dead. Something different appears on the screen.

A video of a man at the front of a long line at a shop, he's fumbling in his wallet and then a bunch of coins drop to the ground, scattering, and the line of people behind him are tapping their feet and looking annoyed. Then a man, clean, in a nice suit, walks in and to the front of the line and the cashier smiles and brings some sort of scanner to his head the ad fades to black and text appears "dont live in the past! join us in the future! Get your QuickChip now!

Quickly after that ad ends another one begins, this time it shows a long line at a ticket booth for a monorail and then it shows the same clean man in a nice suit just walking into a monorail, his head getting scanned and the door of the monorail closes and it starts moving. It fades to black and text appears "The future is fast approaching! Catch up! Get your QuickChip!"

and then one ad pops up on the screen: Its a silhoutte of a human head up to the shoulders, like a bust, and the top side of the head has a circle on it and a line going out that says "quick, simple, painless" and the image changes to LIXCORP "join us in the future"

text appears on the screen

> **"Heroes, it's been fun**
>
>
> **I see it's time for us to meet, so I'll make it clear to you.**
>
>
> **You've been walking on a straight path, when I'm atop a mountain.**
>
>
>
> **Climb, heroes"**

Tiara throws acid at the guards feet, and runs as a distraction, as Fronce leads the four of them and Mel to the table where Obelia, Lotous and Kolton are sitting. Under the table is a hatch that leads to a small corridor that takes them back to the wine room. Evy puts the key in the statue, nothing happens. Ollie looks an the model mansion again to find the way up and finds a tiny wooden version of herself inside. They go back to the bust room and Evy picks the lock on the statue causing the room to move up to a corridor leading to a single room. Inside is the room with the screens that Ollie and Evy say when they touched the beads, there are screens on the sides of the walls, showing the dining hall, and there's a table, with more screens and other technical stuff on it, above it is a camera, and behind it, is a young, zaluan man, with curly hair and hot pink eyes. Marvin looks at them smiling as he pushes a button, text appears on the screen saying:

> **"Eivimeron! Meet your saviours!"**
>
>

The screen changes to show the four of them.

Marvin asks "how did i do?" saying that he "put on a show for all of Eivimeron" . He tells us we'll thank him for this in the end, and talks about a "her", saying "I hope shes satisfied" and, "she told me she likes you" in reference to Evy. Before leaving Marvin tells them not to trust anyone and that he couldn't have done this alone, before disappearing for the final time he waves and says "see you soon".

After making it out the back exit and saying goodbye to Mel and Fronce, they reunite with Kevin, who tells them the call was fake. After catching Kevin up with everything that happened, he takes The Lost Kids to the underground train and to The BOTP base.
