There was silence for the sake of Summer's concentration on her divination. Everything seemed to be going well when an alert sounded on all four of their phones. [color=f26522]"Looks like Lily's sent out a rallying cry."[/color] Makoto said, commenting on the message. [color=silver]"And we're part of the cavalry?"[/color] Summer stopped what she was doing and sat up to her full, very short sitting height. [color=8dc73f]"That's about the best we can hope for, yes. And, well... Did you know that I've only been in one fight since coming to Penrose?[/color] [color=silver]"What does that have to do with anything?"[/color] [color=8dc73f]"Are you familiar with... the Worf effect?"[/color] Shion facepalmed. [color=0076a3]"Look, I know you think this is all some kind of story, but do you really think you're going to get ganked by these Wonderland guys?"[/color] [color=8dc73f]"Look, all I'm saying is, be prepared for the very real possibility of them steamrolling any one of us. Stick together if you can, or with the others who show up to fight them."[/color] [color=f26522]"Well, my token is still in the park, where we're supposed to meet up anyway. Funny how she ended up choosing the same rallying point we wanted."[/color] [color=0076a3]"I've said it before and I'll say it again, for some reason, people [i]want[/i] this city."[/color] [color=f26522]"Too bad we lost all our equipment. Magical Girls fighting each other is a great source of mana and all that. Better than coins, if you can collect it."[/color] [color=silver]"So we're just waiting here until the fighting starts? That's not especially-"[/color] Summer waved her hand back and forth, dismissing Kain's remark before he could finish. [color=8dc73f]"Makoto's mark is literally there for her to Big Damn Hero her way into a situation. We'll tail onto that and show up in the nick of time, before inevitably getting our asses kicked. At least, with [i]our[/i] luck,"[/color] she nodded at Kain, [color=8dc73f]"not counting the silver golden boy over there, that is."[/color] [color=f26522]"Don't be such a downer! We'll show up when the fighting starts, hopefully have the element of surprise on our side, kick some ass, and then we can relax a while. Take a well deserved vacation after all the work that went into the Paradox Orb, even if it failed."[/color] [color=silver]"I suppose that makes sense. It just doesn't feel right to go into a fight without a proper declaration of intent."[/color] [color=0076a3]"Chivalry is dead. Besides, this isn't an anime, bro. Our lives are on the line, we can't be worried about that kind of thing."[/color] [color=silver]"You're right, but that doesn't change the way I feel about it."[/color] Summer walked over to the television in the room and whacked it once, imbuing it with magic. The screen flickered to life to show Penrose Park, giving the group a good view of the area that the meetings would take place in. All that was left to do was wait. --- [i][color=8dc73f]Looks like they're having quite the adventure. Let's turn the page and see what they do next.[/color][/i]
