Forum:Utopia and Dark Mist

Hello, i have a question concerning Number 39: Utopia and Number 96: Dark Mist. Both have effects that activate upon attack declaration, But Utopia has a trigger effect which you can't chain to cards like Mirror Force, and Dark mist has a quick effect. Here's the deal:

1- Player A has Utopia, Player B has Dark Mist, it's Player A's turn. He attacks Dark mist with Utopia: He has priority to activate Utopia's effect first: If he does so, and Dark Mist chains to it his own effect, Utopia's atk will still be halved eventhough the attack is negated, right?

2- Player A's turn, player A doesn't activate Utopia's effect, and Player B activates Dark mist's effect: Player A can't use Utopia's effect anymore during this battle, like with mirror force, right?

3- Player B's turn, Player B has priority: He uses Dark Mist's effect upon his attack declaration: Can Player A chain Utopia's effect to dark mist's or he cannot? Why? If he can, when the attack is negated, does Utopia still lose atk at the end of the chain?
