[b]Nono, Restaurant District - Yggdrasil[/b]

Fortunately Nono (somehow) maintained her composure at the Katana Lady's ridiculous words, as if this wasn't weird enough already. "No, she is not my girlfriend. Onee-sama is Onee-sama, and the bond we share is stronger than something so impersonal." OF course, one could wonder what Saber thought about that, but Nono could be remarkably...insistent, on such things. 

She readied herself again, glad that apparently death was not in the cards, but wondering as well how someone could be extra careful about not killing another person. But that didn't matter at the moment, so she dismissed that from her thought routines to focus on more important things.

For example, the low attack aimed at her legs. Since having those cut off would be problematic, Nono sprang into action, literally springing into the air and using her thrusters to rocket up, above, and behind the Katana Lady, before spinning about, giving herself a push downwards, and plunging at the woman for another kick. Not an Inazuma Kick, but there wasn't enough time for that, and it wouldn't make that much of a difference anyway.

[b]Cinder Fall - Research Facility[/b]

Fortunately for Cinder at this point, Charlotte got out of her way, cheering happily about her own small victory, and leaving Cinder to fight. Not that it brought it any closer to ending as the girl managed to dodge her sword strikes, but it was a start. She was smiling, confident, and though Charlotte wandered off, it wasn't that big a deal so long as the Witch didn't eat what they had come for. 

Moving, she reacted quickly as the girl levered her gun and fired, spinning about on her heels as her eyes and dress flared orange, blocking the ricocheting bullet with her palm. It seemed that even the higher caliber wouldn't be enough to get past whatever blocking technique she used. 

Of course, Cinder was expecting the girl to try something, so she moved against as she spun to face forward once more, her free hand pulled out another via of Dust which she emptied into the air, formed into crystals with manipulation, and sent flying at the girl. Compared to the last time though, she was prepared, and once they reached a certain point she would ignite part of the Dust, splintering the crystals and sending them at her target like a shotgun blast of tiny shards. And, of course, to dodge whatever follow up she came up with. That would probably do the trick.

[b]Misaka 10,032 - Client World 12262009-A [/b]

Perhaps it was the function of the goggles themselves, or the description Misaka had provided, but either way the thief had apparently become bored with the item she had taken, and thus gave them back without a second thought. Settling down on the platform of Dark Matter that Kakine provided, she lowered her Toy Soldier, thumbing the safety on.

"'Thank you,' Misaka says with sincere gratitude," Misaka replied, taking the electron goggles from the girls outheld hand, placing them back atop their customary position on her forehead. Now that she had that back, she had effective use of all her ability.

And since now seemed to be introduction time, Misaka provided one as well. "'I am Misaka Mikoto,' Misaka says, introducing herself with her assigned cover identity." Such a roundabout way of speaking probably inspired more questions, especially on this 'cover identity', but that was how her mind worked sometimes.
