"Hey, wait! Ugh. . ." Hey, it was free entertainment. The tall Wyverian head over to try and pry the third duchess away from the other duplicate(??) duchesses.

The Duchess emerges from the tustling pile of Duchess', holding the white rose aloft. "I've got it! Help me!"

"indeed it is," Asmodeus manages to agree with Hoshiko before she goes, the demon staying back, not giving chase as he purposefully stays out of the way, meandering back to the table for more wine. Practically chugging the glasses down at this rate just to distract him from all the confusion.

"That's.... not good--" hoshiko comments "we're not gonna be able to tell which one is which afterwards are we?" She asks and sighs, she reaches to pinch the bridge of her nose but realises her mask covers it and puts her hand down

Wander's appearance suddenly changes to the new profile pic

"... now THIS is going to complicate matters" Light Raygun muttered as the three Duchesses began fighting each other. Swiftly, she grabbed the arm of one and gently but firmly pushed her aside, "Hold still", she said, her tone calm. "This ain't helping anyone."

The Duchess screams and reaches for the flower that the other duchess is holding aloft, "No! My rose!! You'll doom my realm!"

"*Sigh* I remember something like this happening once, but it was with dittos"

The Duchess allows Light RayGun to draw her aside, gritting her teeth with alarm. "What do we do? I've never seen anything like this!"

"oh for the love of." she groaned. "someone separate the duchess's." she then would look to them. EVERYBODY FREEZE!" she would shout. "ok. we need to know who is who... tell me duchesses, which one of you can name all three of the inventions i showed off... in the order I showed them off?"

"Smart idea"

pan sighed and then just decided to go outside and take out his guitar, he decided to play to calm his nevers. " why did you leave me, Im still here wondering, course I'm still in love with you" he said as he started to play, as he didn't want to have a panic attack.

"I'm the real duchess! It's my flower, you have to believe me!"

Hoshiko suddenly has an idea, in a last ditch attempt to make sure they don't end up destroying the rose Hoshiko swipes the air, attemping to teleport the rose out of their hands unless there's some magical protection around it "great idea, I'm gonna hold onto this until we know who we can trust"

"No! It's my flower!"

"This..." Light Raygun anwered the Duchess, helping her steady up, "... is a good question. Theoretically I've only _heard_of such things from space-time travellers, and even those felt like tall tales compared...." At Anul's words though she looked in that direction with a nodd of approval. "... And that might be a good way out of the mess."

The Wyverian is still drastically trying to at least try and pull one of them apart from what was now a duo. They were quite impressed by their strength, that much could be said!

Then Anul speaks speaks up. The Wyverian arose. "Wha. . . ?"

"Aww, where are you going...?" And then Elliot remembered they could jump off at any time. So they leapt free of Pan and scurried back to the others, debating in their mind whether to find a new shoulder to sit on.

"Name Anul's inventions in order"

From the portal that the anti-anti duchess emerged from clutching a rose only minutes ago, a fourth duchess arrives, running toward the clump of duchesses. This one doesn't have a rose, but she is shouting, "Stop! Thief!"
