When Julia confronted the fledgling nurse-warrior who stood between the dauntless dame and her newest hunt, little did she know that she would end up becoming the center of the most massive congregation of magical girls in Danzig since the age of the Teutonic Knights. Truth be told, while the hotheaded and often unnecessarily brutish girl has met and hunted with magical girls before, she has never actually fought against one, at least not seriously; she did force Yuniko into a friendly sparring match, but quickly realized how bad of an idea that was. The young girl was no exception to the rule, even as Julia held to the shaft of her enormous mallet and cast an expression of confidence.

Her intuition was correct, and the girl indeed turned out be just recruited. Julia was surprised how the girl managed to not only keep her composure against her hostile act, but continued being polite to her. When the girl objected to Julia's claim she thought about making another threat when Yuniko interrupted her. She pat her hat and smiled in embarrassment after hearing from her; she did have a bad habit of acting alone and not spending the time to let Yuniko catch up to her. She pulled the hat down further to hide her slight blushing when Yuniko pursued a diplomatic approach, causing her to groan in annoyance. She didn't want her meddling in her business, but she couldn't say anything in rebuttal since she was right in what she said, even though she didn't like it. Her responsible yet kind manners reminded her of how her own mother used to talk to her. Julia didn't feel like arguing about it, so she just pouted. [color=ed1c24]"Fine, hmph."[/color]

However, it was at that moment that the blonde magical girl appeared, and Julia cursed out loud as she turned and held her hammer with both arms before the black-clad intruder. Her feet moved to a reactive pose, and her eyes squinted as the girl spoke with the kind of pep in her step that could cause even a brick wall to shudder. This chick wasn't just bad news; doom was the only word she could have described her at that moment. She wasn't sure what to make of her with her happy expression, ostentatious style of fashion and strange weaponry that caused Julia to tighten her grip on her own. She quickly caught on from her speech that the girl was from Japan, as her time spent with Yuniko helped attest. Julia grimaced in disgust; her tone of voice didn't match her, making it seem like a slimy snake was offering the apple of discord. She didn't believe a word that she said, though it did sprout a small seed of doubt in her. Julia didn't like how Yuniko went in her way and tried to be the one protecting her when it was her duty to do so, but she appreciated the honest attempt she made at negotiating with her. Still, she kept her focus strictly on the creepy girl.
[color=ed1c24]"Even if what you're saying is true, it's still our job as magical girls to kill it. So you can take that obviously fake smile you're carrying and shove it right up your-"[/color]

Julia didn't manage to finish the sentence as she heard someone screaming from above and moved her eyes up, followed by them opening wide open in shock as she yelped. Before she had time to finish screaming another curse word, a heavy frame suddenly came down and crashed into her. As the mature-looking girl managed to scramble up, she didn't realize that Julia's head was clamped by her front bumpers, causing her to briefly dangle on her like a morbidly comical necktie, before she flayed around and managed to remove herself from their firm grip. She dropped down to the floor and held her sides as she panted heavily to catch her breath. She looked up with furious eyes as she berated the curvy but clumsy girl. [color=ed1c24]"Hey! Watch where you drop from, you klutz! You almost killed me with your boobs!"[/color]

The action never seemed to stop, as it was then that sounds of fighting rang out some distance from them, followed by the nurse girl leaving to hunt for the familiar. Julia stood up, wanting to follow after her, but was still too stunned by the full-body impact to manage more than a few steps. She quickly pat herself down, and confirmed her suspicions; she was mostly unharmed by a fall that would have killed regular people. However, Julia was aware of being immune to mortal wounds, and so wasn't as shocked as when she was still a complete greenhorn.
When she regained her focus, she once again took a step in the direction of the fighting, but then stopped. There was no point in her coming along to a fight that already had multiple magical girls on it, and against a familiar, no less. Julia did like to throw herself at every fight she could, but she didn't like taking after the scraps of someone else, as she considered the act of stealing a kill deserved by someone else to be dishonorable. Actually, she did take a solitary approach to her new life at first, but over time she came to learn the value of someone having your back, especially after she was assisted by Yuniko for the first time. She did appreciate help whenever it was offered to her, and wasn't afraid to pay back in full, just like back in the good old days when she hung out with Romeo's gang.

[color=ed1c24]"Actually, that movie's already past the opening credits, and that's the best part,[/color] she mused to herself. [color=ed1c24]"No sense in going after them unless they need the help."[/color]
So, instead of running off like she first intended, she decided to move her attention to the busty buffoon, who was still upset from what happened. She wasn't as angry at her for falling on her as she was from her incessant blathering.
[color=ed1c24]"Stop that. You look like a grown-up, so act like one."[/color] She sighed, having difficulty accepting that someone so old could be a complete newbie.
[color=ed1c24]"Geez, you put even Yuniko to shame with those two...[/color] She put a hand to her chin as she stared at the blonde beauty, and her scowl turned into a devious grin that spread across her lips. Like she usually did, her mouth acted faster than her common sense would. 
[color=ed1c24]"You know what? I'll forgive you...if you let me touch them."[/color] Julia was absolutely sure that her attempt at embarrassing her in revenge would result in her screaming angrily at her, and Julia prepared for it with her bratty demeanor.
