They'd trained together in their free time, after all. Childe knows what a holy terror Noah can be when pressed.
So instead he twists to focus his attention on the figure attacking Nene, firing the held shot square into the thing's chest and stepping forward to draw it away from her if it recovers enough for another attack.]
Keep behind me now rybka, okay?

?????????
HELLO???
nene scrambles back a bit, eyes wide and heart pounding- uh. uH- there's got to be something she can- oh, hey, that's familiar. nene grabs a paint knife, old and probably a little rusty- but the thing is, dull metal's more dangerous, even she knows that. and she's got strong arms. but also childe's probably got this? yeah. )

Noah's swift response keeps the abomination from striking Alice. The thing is surrounded — it should be overpowered, outnumbered by all those figures pummeling it — but between that and the commotion unfolding near the painting, so soon after the puddle and the shifting shadows, Alice has really had enough.
That said, all he can do is position himself to swing his piece of wood at some part of the potential zombie that happens to come within reach in the midst of the Noahs darting around. Enough is the thought that drives it; his nerves are pulled too taut, and they snap all at once in the face of the closet fright startling them so badly. ]
Stop it... All of this... STOP IT!!

Maya, or rather the thing wearing Maya's skin, proves to be surprisingly sturdy. It claws and rends despite the lack of either, clumsy movements done with limbs that don't seem like they should be able to move at all, and as it does so Noah will feel as though pieces himself are being chipped away at. It's incredibly painful, like having skin and flesh ripped off layer by layer, but if he can withstand that he'll find that pieces of if break off and scatter like the dust stirred up by their movements.
It may take some effort, but if he can hang in there, the creature can be disposed of, and it will leave behind a pile of something that looks like looks like a pile of ashes.
Childe will fair better. It seems the shadow figure that had set its eyes on Nene is weaker in nature, or perhaps it's just less formed. Its form seems to try and shift into something more solid as it stumbles back in response to the arrow that pieces its chest, changing between shapes, as though it can't decide on a form and each time hitting on something that resembles one of the generic students. It's as though the creature is trying to remember what it should be, but not quite succeeding.
One more good shot should do it, as long as his aim is good, and that would be enough to grant Alice's wish, leading to a quiet and empty room. ]

covid vax is kicking my ass rn so I hope this makes sense
It’s been a while since the last time he had a good fight, and it feels a little like getting to indulge after withdrawals.
He hasn’t noticed Noah’s predicament just yet, but as he turns his head and does just that that smirk immediately slips off his face. The moment he’s sure Nen is safe and they’re not still under attack he’s gonna rush over and check on Noah.]
no subject
A broken floorboard stands no real chance — all the same, at some point before everything finally stops, Alice flings it at their opponent's head in frantic, frustrated desperation. ]
Damn you...!!
[ And then, when it's quiet at last, that becomes worrying. Are they even safe now? Nene Yashiro and Childe Tartaglia may be unharmed, but... Alice glances in Noah's direction. ]

how fucked up is Noah right now?
I hope he's actually torn the fuck up a little bit]roll: 7
Their combined efforts are rewarded. The thrown floorboard does knock it off balance, and that should be enough to assist Noah, and the end result is that the room is as empty and quiet as promised. There is the group, the canvas, the supply closet, and a pile of ashes.
But this isn't the first time a body of a student council member has been hidden in here.
Noah is fortunate in that the damage isn't extensive. It was without a doubt painful, but between the clumsy movements of the creature and Noah being a more skilled fighter than most, he's able to avoid the worst of it. He'll be left with scratches that didn't break the skin, marks that will later turn into bruises, and nicks on his skin. He'll find himself sporting a lacerations in a few spots as well (or possibly more but a few swipes of claws is the minimum the blood god requires today,) but fortunately they seem to be relatively shallow.
Do try not to bleed too much. ]

That's when all of the pain actually starts to kick his ass a little bit. Hi, hello. Wow! He never liked Maya and then her mangled shadow-corpse kicked his ass and that feels bad. He got the last hit in but still. Anyway, he stands there for a moment to assess damage...]
I'm alright.
[Everything hurts but yeah. He's alright. He wants to say "I've had worse" but that probably won't help, and he shuts his mouth when he sees everyone's faces. Wordlessly, he starts trying to heal the larger cuts, though it's gonna take him a minute.]
no subject
Thought she’d gotten you pretty good there, kiddo. I was afraid you were losing your touch. Told you that’d come in handy. [He motions to Alice’s handy dandy floorboard, the ghost of a smile on his lips as he idly reaches down to hook his thumb against the edge of his Vision. With a careful push it rotates, the blue of the Hydro symbol sliding around and out of view as the maroon-red of his Delusion takes its place.
He needs it right about now so that he can be faster, especially if he wants to keep up with protecting everyone as best as he can. He stoops down to pick up the discarded paintbrush, reaching up to slide his mask down and over his face as he does.]
Seems like quite a fuss to kick up over a modern art fixture.
no subject
[Which is ostensibly worse than a flailing mutant corpse shadow thingy that's just really really pointy. Noah's quite busy making sure he's not going to bleed on the floors, though, not wanting to set off another round of shadow hands.
He does look up at Childe as Childe does his Delusion shift and thinks to himself, Childe-hyung is so cool. Anyway, back to healing.]
Will you guys check the painting? Maybe it's... I don't know, relevant somehow. I'll check the pile of ashes and see if there's anything in that when I'm done.
[He doubts it, but weirder things have happened.]

Spiritual sight will reveal that the wisteria have a faint blue glow to them, but that may just be one of the oddities of the other school, or perhaps it's just that whoever made it put a piece of themselves into it. But it will reveal something else, a shimmering object hidden among the colors and tools. There is another mirror fragment here, cool to the touch but providing a small shine and glow in the darkness of the school.
On the other hand, the ashes are warm to the touch, like the ashes left behind by the final burning embers of a fire. Hidden amongst them is a key to the student council room. ]
no subject
Found a key. [He shoves it into his coat pocket and makes his way over to the painting.] Did you guys find anything cool?
no subject
[ Like the second mirror shard, the item is something concrete to focus on, welcome after the scares and their aftermath, and how casually Noah Ebalon mentions a whole building dropped on his head. With his floorboard retrieved and tucked under one arm — Childe Tartaglia is right! It may not be amazing magic, but it has its uses — Alice straightens up from studying the painting. ]
Which door does it unlock...? [ As for finding other cool things... ] This painting is quite haunting, I suppose. There's also another mirror piece left behind here...

Not for the first time he found himself wishing the Traveler were around. They were fond of these sorts of puzzles, and he would have been more than happy with trailing alongside them to fight at their side between bouts of intellectual musings.
Unfortunately, when it came to finding those who hailed from Teyvat as he did, he continued to be stuck here on his own. Which left the puzzling for him to participate in. Which was fine. He just wasn’t the best at it.
He lets out a soft sigh, pausing in his brush-spinning to offer up his input.]
Maybe it fits against the other shard we have? Like... Pieces of a broken picture, one we have to make whole again? [The key itself could potentially lead to another such shard. Or… It could just be a key.]
Seems sort of like nothing around here happens without revolving around that tree, doesn’t it?

( nene looks up at the others and then pauses, biting her lip almost. )
One of those things was forming when we came in here. We have to be careful when we go.

Let's try there.

Let me check the hall before we all head out. If it looks like trouble, I can hold the thing off and give everyone a head start to the council room.
[The prospect of more fights has excited the whale, who craves blood. He’s stepping forward to peer out into the hall to see what’s out there.]

Soon enough though, probably.]
All clear! After me, single file.
[He spares a moment to ponder what exactly might have happened with the other shadow figures that are normally milling about. Maybe the hand monster ate them.]
