[hr]
Just as the violence began between Light and Dark, Tsubomi felt it. As if struck by a great pressure pouring down upon her shoulders, like Atlas himself had left his weights on her back, Acid Drop clutched her stomach in pain, visibly shaken and shaking like a sugar-loaded toddler. The thrill was just [i]somewhat[/i] offset by the immense feeling of [i]depthlessness[/i] that came alongside it. Homura was a great source of power, with her previously considered overwhelming emotions, but whatever the other Light Girl's name was, she blew that out of the water. The confidence had been one thing, but the rush of [i][s][u][i][b]w̴̛̳̰̆̿̄̾ḧ̸̡̞͙̘̏̍a̸̼̱̾̒ţ̶̮̩̰́̀ḙ̴͎̟͈͋̎̓v̵̡̹̯͓͔̈́̇̇̀̚̕e̶͉͈͎͇̟͐́̋́͂͠ṙ̸͎͚̤̘̿̇̆ ̴̺̭͙̘̮͖̏͋̓̓͝t̵̛͍̲̞̮͗h̸͎̋̇̄͗́̓ǎ̶̡̺̘͌͠t̷͖̰̳̪̯̾̋̆̍͘ ̶̨̞̞̙̝̝̊͊̊͂̈́͂w̶̤͚͉͔̻̥͒͆́͑̋̚ạ̸̦͔̣̰̲̌̅̎̾̚͠s̴̘̦̆̔͘[/b][/i][/u][/s][/i] that lay under it... It was scary. Like gazing into an abyss, if it were flashing enough to be seizure-inducing. Tsubomi, for the first time in a long time, decided [i]not[/i] to take from the wellspring of emotion available to her. A choice that might have caused her to lose her life. Without activating her magic's ability, and distracted by the force of what she was feeling, she had no chance to dodge Nonsuch's attack. It was only thanks to Schrade's appearance as a Magical Girl that she was saved. 

[color=00aeef]"... Huh?"[/color] was all that escaped Tsubomi's lips as she was forcibly removed from the danger and the shock of the force she was moved with took her concentration off of Nonsuch. She looked up to see Schrade holding her in her arms, something that would probably make Tsubomi's partner envious. Once again, Boss Lady got to be the cool one. Tsubomi couldn't help but notice her own slight blush at the situation, though she couldn't pinpoint if it were the adrenaline, the appreciation of the coolness of her savior, or embarrassment from having to be saved. Maybe it was all three, maybe something else altogether. Nonetheless, she let herself down from Schrade's arms and bowed slightly. [color=00aeef]"Thanks, Boss."[/color] The close proximity to the other Dark Girl forced her to feel some of Schrade's emotions, and curiosity was, as they say, a bitch. A small probe led her to the fathomless depth of her boss's feelings as well, a stark contrast to the Light Girl who paralyzed her. It was somehow more welcoming, the deep cold of Schrade versus the burning heat of Nonsuch. She knew that the Boss didn't mind, so she helped herself to a bit of it. Maybe helping alleviate the no doubt troublesome emotions would be welcome. 

Acid Drop was more full and high on energy than she'd been in a long time, and was deciding whether or not to put it to use now, to catch the new light that had shown itself, or to save it in case the old lights decided to fight her, when she got an alert that she received a voicemail message. Unlike her partner, Tsubomi had only one phone and it was set to convert voicemail into text for her. She gave Schrade another slight bow and checked her phone. A moment after reading it, she spoke. [color=00aeef]"Yeah, Boss, we did get separated. I'll fix that."[/color] She turned on voice-to-text as she started moving in the direction the "new blood" had ran. 

[color=00aeef]"Don't worry about the miss, the Boss saved me. With any luck, the one to nab her will be me."[/color] She paused and sent the message before closing her eyes and focusing. When she opened them again, she had locked onto the pink-haired girl's desperation. [color=00aeef]"Just gotta beat EE to her. Looks like she's headed towards the mountains. Meet on the way? Cool if not."[/color] With the press of the screen, she sent her second message to her partner and leapt to the rooftops herself. Sure, Evil Eye had the raw speed advantage, but she also had to stick to roads. "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line," she remembered learning several years ago, and it would give her an advantage. Still, she decided to save her [i]real[/i] magic for an encounter, even if it cost her the race. Five Miseria wasn't a lot, but if she decided what the meal was, she could choose something cheap anyway. Besides, she had to pay the Boss back for the save.
