Splat!

The successfully squished hand lay flat on the floor, it's fingers twitching. It had failed in it's attempt to tickle the girl into submission, thanks to her knowledge of the sacred art of belly flops. Victory fanfares were absent however, as the hand simply lifted into the air and pulled away, as if attached to a string.

Only to be replaced by the sound of stomping.

The stomping of a pair of legs, cut off at the waist, running right towards Trixie! They were a little clumsy, tripping as they went but staying upright regardless. Then suddenly they leapt into the air, aiming a booty strike on the Prankster to pin her to the ground. Not that Poppy had much of a booty.

Meanwhile the rest of Poppy listened carefully, making her way through the smoke. She could hear Stevie crying, begging and pleading. These people were so mean! "Don't cry Stevie," Poppy called out through the smoke. "We'll all die through the entropic nature of the universe anyway."

Wait. Had her legs gone? She blinked in a dazed fashion down at herself. Oh. Oh well they'll be fine. She shot forward anyway, her body hovering at around the height she normally stood... aiming to disarm this girl sooner rather than later.

[b][u]Phillis Circus - Outside[/u][/b]

Syed struggled get his mind back into this properly. Not after [i]that[/i]. He could deflect an electronic laser, he had done it before. But not if he had no bloody idea where it came from and [i]wasn't even his fight[/i]. On top of how much his body overall hurt like hell, and how his heart was still pounding from such a near-death experiance that he practically saw the light... keeping control will be even harder than usual.

Even then though, he knew that they had to strike this rocket guy now, while he was charging. Could that be a drawback to his speed - that he had to charge it up to use his ability? If that was the case, it did beg the question on how long it would last. And if it wasn't... well. They were boned.

He moved his hands quickly, moving swiftly through the gestures which were by now completely second nature to him. A fast spell, one of the fastest he had, before extending an arm, index and middle fingers outstretched.

He fired, a bolt of electricity flashing from his fingertips and towards Max in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, Max had already gone. The bolt struck the ground a little way behind where he was with a shower of dirt.

"Shit!" Moira yelled as she stepped forward, spinning the pole before driving it into the ground as she adjusted her stance. She kept her eye on Max as best as she could. Ready to block an incoming blow, and preferably prevent her from seeing shit that only the birds had any business seeing again. Meanwhile Syed had already began a second cast... a second, smaller pole sparking with electricity and shifting slightly from the ground. Ready to throw as soon as the opportunity arose. He could only hope this time, his aim struck true. And on time.
