"It could not be worth a shot?", Light Raygun asked to the Anti Duchess. "While they work on a duplicate, we could help look for your original one. So if you retrieve it, all the better; if not, you'll at least have a replacement to try."

Elliot reached up to pat Pan on the head. "I think you're mistaken. I believe I was set down here to take care of you. After all, a powerful demon like myself doesn't need looking after."

On the far side of the party, another portal suddenly opens, though this one does not include any snow. It does, however, allow another Duchess to exit. This one is holding a white rose. She looks around, confused, and then her expression changes to one of frustration. "Oh, heck," she grumbles. "Wrong place." Throwing out a hand, another portal opens on the opposite end of the party. Picking up her skirts, she puts her head down and makes a run for the second portal!

"How many are there?!" Wander asked, "Also was your flower white, other duchess??"

"See!?" Elliot blurted out, scrambling upright on Pan's shoulder. "What did I tell you!? I knew there was a third!"

"Well, there we have it." Rhens suddenly dashed to the new portal, his ghostly extra limbs quickly putting him in place to block the third duchess' path. "I think you've gone far enough dear." He said loudly

"So, we are going on a chase for a flower," the Wyverian mused. "That means that we can find a purpose for- good Gogmazios, what's happening over there!?"

"I'm just as confused buddy"

".... uh. is that the rose you were looking for?.... BATRHOLOMEW, STOP HER!" skitter skitter went the mechanical monstrosity, blocking the escape route at high speed and letting out a screech whilst blocking the portal of the third duchess.

"Yes, I'd like to try. Thank you for your help-- STOP RIGHT THERE!" says second Duchess, and goes charging toward the anti-anti duchess. "GIVE THAT BACK!"

The original Duchess stares in utter bewilderment, and then joins in the chase after the third Duchess.

"I'm starting to regret not getting wine." she would grumble.

As another Duchess emerged, Light Raygun's head turned to look at the first two, then at thre newcomer. "... have we ended up in an interdimensional loop?" she mused lightly, moving over with the group that was getting after the new Duchess.

" how many are there?!?" he asked them as he looked at them all

Hoshiko looked confused for a moment but immediately summoned her sword and got in front of the second portal, with these circumstances she couldn't let it slide.

"Good Chronos this is getting confusing" she muttered to herself but got into a fencing stance to defemd the portal so that the third duchess couldn't escape.

"Alright that's enough for me," Wander run at the 3rd duchess, fur glowing slightly

Seeing her path to the second portal is blocked by valiant defenders, the third duchess turns and tackles the other two duchess', pulling them into a very fancy wrestling match.

The commotion had thrown Rhens off his concentration, and suddenly from his back, at least 12 separate chains emerged, hanging weightlessly in the air behind him. His eyes glowed once again as a wall of magic sealed the portal off. But the sudden wrestling match had him bewildered.

Byrd is now very confused, whirling in a little circle to see the appearance of yet another Duchess. Suddenly everyone appears to be running to block the third Duchess, and the next thing Byrd knows, all three hostesses are wrestling about on the floor. She takes a casual step back to make sure she's out of the way, watching with wide eyes.

"You don't see that everyday...." Elliot commented, leaning forward to get as clear a glance at Pan's face as possible. "Hey, got any popcorn? This party has some excellent entertainment. I don't think I've ever seen three of the same person fight themselves before..."
