After they had opened the way to Connie's Interdimensional Home, Mariette followed into the dimension with her usual elegant step. Her eyes melancholically inspected the various walls and the feeling of being inside an Interdimensional Home again with a feeling that compared to that of her own, and so she continued to gaze around, and...

and...

and...

...

Without warning, Mariette suddenly collapsed forward. The direction she collapsed was right towards the army of stuffed animals, that she impacted towards and promptly sank into. She then started to waddle forward, which probably looked a bit odd in that elegant dress of hers, gripping onto more and more plushies on the way, until she'd created her own mountain of plushies that she buried herself underneath. Portals opened in various places of the room, and gentle Mariette hands reached through them to pick specific plushies she liked, and the mountain of plushies grew so that no sign of Mariette could be seen beneath its soft triangular mountain range. 

Eventually, everything came to a standstill, as the mountain of plushies sat there undisturbed... until Mariette's head poked out the top. It only poked out far enough that the tip of her white hair, her headwear and her eyes peeked out, and a gentle round blush of contentness could be seen on her cheeks. The rest of her was still buried beneath the horde of stuffed animals that she'd amassed. She would continue attending this meeting like this, unless Connie objected. These were her plushies, after all.

Mariette was looking very comfortable.

Both Ronin and Miko had to keep themselves from reacting to Mariette, after all, they ostensibly had no relation to this lady. Obviously.

Ronin had some doubts about what MDP was saying, buuuut... [color=55B7AA]‘Well, far be it from me to not allow people second chances!’[/color] Ronin said with a grin. She had her doubts, but.

Then the mad doctor herself holographizes into the scene, and... well, to say she had changed was an overstatement. That said, if she was genuine in her statement that she was going to help, maybe she'd had some form of a change of heart on the inside, even if she refused to change how she acted on the outside? She was just being a little tsun? Actually, Ronin might just put that into words.

[color=55B7AA]‘So, is the actual reason she wants to help that you managed to touch her heart and she's being a little tsun?’[/color] Ronin asked MDP. She had her doubts, but.

[color=DC9495]‘Um. You're sure we can rely on her?’[/color] Miko asked, remembering Ronin's story and was a little afraid she might backstab them for some reason or another.

Mariette couldn't be bothered, she was bathing in stuffed animals right now. That is to say, she was in paradise, looking very much content.
