[color=8dc73f]Persephone watches the construct fall with a surprising amount of dissatisfaction and disappointment. Putting her multicolored pen weapon back into her bottomless bag, she lets out an exaggerated sigh.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy we beat it?" Ruitsume glances over at her.
"D-did I do something wrong, Persephone...? I'm sorry..." Kanashiko sniffles, her sword of tears melting away in her hands now that the threat seems to have been taken care of.
"Noooo, it's not you, Kana. It's this thing!" Persephone throws her arms up in the air while directing her friends to the fallen construct. "It was WAAAAY too easy to beat! That was so short! So boring!"
"IT STARTED LIGHTING THE BUILDING ON FIRE, WHAT THE HELL ELSE DO YOU WANT?!" Ruitsume shouted angrily back.
"Hmmm...I dunno. Maybe laser eyes? Telepathy? Ooh, or maybe shooting spikes that explode!" Persephone grins.
"THAT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION!" Ruitsume continues to rage. "What if the person who made this thing hears you?! You WANT to give them more ideas?!"
"If it make for a more exciting fight, I don't see why not." Sephie shrugs, still smiling away.
".......I...I give up on you." Ruitsume holds her head in her hands, taking a deep breath.
"That's okay! I know I can get your confidence back!" Persephone laughs.
"I...don't think anyone was really hurt by the monster...that's good..." Kanashiko timidly looks around at everyone else that had come to fight, not seeing anyone with any serious injuries.
"Of course not. Like I said, what we fought was not a huge threat." Persephone nods. "However, Rui brings up something important. This thing was probably sent or made or something by someone else. Pretty sure fiery construct monsters aren't native to this area. That means that this thing could very well end up being a prelude to something bigger, and more dangerous."
"Exactly. Which is why you shouldn't go around giving those people things to work off of!" Ruitsume growls.
"S-so...you think it's...not over, then? Someone else is here to do bad things?" Kanashiko looks even sadder now.
"Don't look so hopeless about this all!" Persephone puts a hand on Kanashiko's shoulder. "We can take on stuff like this, easy! Besides, we're not even alone! We obviously have all these other people too! Like those ones!"
With that, Persephone starts walking towards Inigo and Morgan. "You guys alright? You looked preeeetty cool out there!"
Ruitsume and Kanashiko follow behind Persephone, but Sarchesker stays where he is, eyeing the group of witches from a distance. He wonders what he should do next...until he notices the sky slowly begin to change color. That and, someone flying in the sky off to...somewhere.
Persephone seems to catch wind of Sarchesker's observations and suddenly looks up at the sky as well. "Hmm...I may just see a more exciting scene yet..."[/color]

[color=ec008c]"Terrifying children?! That's like, among our list of favorite things to do ever!" Amber's pupil-less eyes glitter with excitement, lighting up almost like yellow headlights.
"But where are we gonna go for the children to terrify? There aren't really many kids here at this hotel. I mean, I've maybe seen one? Maybe? That's not enough for me. That's not enough for ANY self-respecting shadow!" Clancy cries.
"HmmmmmMMMmmMMmm....well, we could always travel down into Shadowland, then use one of our established connection points to go somewhere else in a different world that has children." Amber suggests. "Orrrr, maybe Karl here knows somewhere we can go?"[/color]
