*early morning at JMA. Everything is totally normal*

Moon: *wakes up, stretches and yawns* Brilliance, time to- BRILLIANCE?

Brilliance: *has disappeared*

Moon: *goes running down the hallway* WHERE'S BRILLIANCE?

A bunch of random sleepy dragons: *poke their heads out of their caves to investigate the issue*

Moon: *bursts into Qinter and Turtle's cave* BRILLIANCE IS GONE

Winter: Yay! Finally!

Turtle: WHAT?!

Qibli: *calmly* Tell us what happened, Moon.

Moon: I WOKE UP AND BRILLIANCE WAS GONE

Qibli: Maybe she's in the Prey Centre?

Moon: *calms down* Maybe.

Winter: Aw man I really hoped she'd be gone

Moon: Shut up Winter!

Kinkajou: Ooo drama! Also, what's going on?

???: *invisible*

???: *thinking* I know exactly the trick to pull on these suckers...

*in the Prey Centre*

JW: *arrives in the Prey Centre and sees a dragon with yellow/white scales laying on the floor*

Moon: BRILLIANCE?

Qibli: Weird, she doesn't look as glowy as usual...

Moon: SHE'S NOT BREATHING!

Kinkajou: Wha-AAAAAAH! BLOOD! THERE'S A KNIFE IN HER WING AND BLOOD EVERYWHERE!

Turtle: IS BRILLIANCE DEAD?!

Moon: *starts crying hysterically*

Winter: ...I'mma go get the DoD. Hang on.

Qibli: Thanks! *scoops up some of the blood and tastes it*

Kinkajou: EW! QIBLI!

Qibli: Weird... is this... ketchup??

The rest of the JW: ...

Moon: *licks up some of the blood* It IS ketchup!

Kinkajou: Oh, wow, the knife just fell out of her wing! ...and didn't make a mark...?

Qibli: Alright, you faker. Wake up and tell us who you are.

???: *gets up and grins* Busted.

Kinkajou: *tackles her*

???: What?! Ow!

Kinkajou: *in a threatening whisper* You tricked my best friend into thinking that her gf was dead. You will pay.

???: ...I'm broke, sorry.

The DoD and Winter: *arrive*

Winter: Wha- Brilliance isn't dead??

???: *rolls her eyes* It was soooo easy to trick you suckers.

Tsunami: TAKE HER AWAY

The JW: Gladly!

*in the interrogation cave*

Tsunami: *shine a jar of flamesilk in ???'s eyes* Who are you?

???: My name is Poinsettia. I'm a RainWing who doesn't live in the village. I enjoy pranking others and causing general mayhem. I'm ten years old but small for my age.

Tsunami: What do you want?

Poinsettia: To see which dragonets in this school are suckers. Then prank them until they lose all their brain cells.

Tsunami: Are you dangerous?

Poinsettia: That depends. Physically? No. Mentally? Yes.

Tsunami: Where do you live?

Poinsettia: In neon_aster's brain's basement with the fears and the sticky grey goo that somehow ends up in everyone's minds at some point.

Tsunami: Do you have any family?

Poinsettia: I have a partner, Storm, and we're expecting eggs.

Tsunami: Where's Brilliance?

Poinsettia: Um... Well...

Moon: Oh for the love of-

Poinsettia: You'd have to ask neon_aster that.
