[b]Nono - Restaurant District, Yggdrasil[/b] Nono grinned in triumph as she successfully grabbed the woman's wrist, noting the neutralization of the other grunts, and prepared to bash the hand she held on the railing until it broke or she let go of the sword. That'd end this. Then the woman leaned in, and Nono moved to dodge while getting a slightly confused look at the talk about dates, and that threw her off enough for the follow up to be successful, wrenching the blade free. "What," she exclaimed as her hold was broken, and she quickly leapt back to dodge any sort of follow through. She landed in a combat stance, still serious and ready to go at it. "We are not going on a date," she countered. "My bond with Onee-sama is stronger than any you could ever hope to have!" Proclamations of devotion aside, she prepared for whatever the strange lady would throw at her next. --- [b]Cinder Fall - Research Facility[/b] Cinder watched on as Charlotte got to work, though sharp fangs making short work of the girl's arm, and she was impressed to see their opponent cut it off herself, rather than letting it become a liability in this fight. That took a certain kind of dedication, even if it was only an artificial limb. Now Cinder was intrigued, moreso than she had been before. And indeed, the girl didn't even seem all that affected, as she leapt back and drew her pistol, shooting the arrows out of the air, which impacted and caused ringing explosions. And she had even done that with her weaker arm. There was certainly more at work here than just being skilled. Avoiding whatever it was Charlotte decided to do next, Cinder reformed her bow into dual blades and moved in, switching back to melee combat since it seemed the most effective, and now that the girl had even more of a disadvantage from only being able to use the combat knife. Of course, she'd allow her to flee if the girl tried, since there was no point in spoiling the fun, but she would push the advantage now that she had it, and she did as she struck quick and fast. Time to end this. --- [b]Misaka 10032 - Client world 12262009-A[/b] Misaka was focused on her task, and fired the Toy Soldier in compressed bursts as Kakine carried her along. With the usage of rubber ammunition she was willing, and capable of going all out to retrieve her electron goggles, and so that was what she did. Yet the thief proved extremely effective in dodging, even though Misaka did succeed in hitting her hat. She watched then as the thief asked why they mattered, whilst putting on the goggles. At the same time Kakine generated knives of dark matter, which would definitely be useful here. One way or another, her gear would be returned. She stopped firing for a few moments to answer. "'They are the necessary for the effective usage of Misaka's Radio Noise ability,' Misaka explains in a persuasive manner. 'They allow for the detection of electromagnetic fields, as well as the flow of electricity from source to output.'" Such scientific language would have to be interpreted by Kakine, but Marisa would be able to see herself as she lowered the goggles, her vision overlaid with green, numbers on the side, while white lines radiated out and moved along in paths, showing the complicated view that came with them. Of course, someone like Misaka Mikoto could do this almost instinctively, but the Sisters individual powers didn't allow for that.
