[@Raijinslayer] [color=f49ac2][h2]Marlene Evangeline[/h2][/color] At first, Marlene didn't seem to get a response from the prankster. She even thought that Argus was knocked out cold. However, she knew otherwise once she saw the grin running up his face. It was then when the air would become heavier as his magic began to awaken. Not only that, but it would begin to syphon energy from some of the patrons in the restaurant and people in the area, either from annoyance and anger for the disturbance or any lingering feelings of resentment for magic being brought to the surface by the display. The only wig of this would be a haze of crimson mist forming around Argus' body, slowly thickening until it reached a point where he was semi covered by it. This wasn't just any old prankster who happened to be jealous of a mage. Oh no, this seemed much more sinister. With a chuckle, he lifted his legs and front-flipped into a crouching position in a single, fluid movement. [i]"Yeah, you got me good. . ."[/i] He conceded to the Crystal Make mage, standing up as the haze began to swirl around him in a menacing fashion. With a whispered mutter, the haze changed into a storm of electrical energy, sparking across his form to concentrate on his fist and feet. Raising his head to look at Marlene, demonic eyes glowing with excitement for the coming fight. Marlene couldn't believe her eyes... [color=f49ac2]"W-Wha~?[/color] she thinks to herself as she tries to keep a straight and calm face, [color=f49ac2]"What the hell is he doing?!"[/color] It seems as if he was going to attack! Argus lets the grin on his face show his eagerness as he shot forward, raising a fist in preparation to attack. However, he was thrown off by the shout of his fellow guild member, Enma, causing him to trip and fall flat on his face. Marlene was slightly humored by this, but much more relieved then anything. She didn't mean to cause any fights, she just wanted to show this guy how much she doesn't like these pranks. Yeah yeah, she came through Nolan's window and embarrassed the hell out of him, but it was rather harmless compared to what Argus did. And she didn't like it one bit. Then the mage got up and tried to attack Enma, but his attack was weak and only blew the shirts n' skirts of nearby bystanders. Yet none had realized the trick that he had up his sleeve. He then turns to Marlene. [i]"The axe isn't going to be apart of me getting 'disciplined', right? Cause if so, I'd like to state that I didn't mean to start a fight. It was just a little prank, and she attacks me, which in turn caused me to get excited and I'm not really helping my case here, am I?"[/i] [color=f49ac2]"More like a retaliation!"[/color] Marlene answers back slightly angrily, but still keeps her cool, [color=f49ac2]"Consider that a way to get back on you, for I - well, everyone in this matter- doesn't like pranks like that. You cut the cord to the peace at hand! If you want to really prank someone, do it somewhere else, but not here!"[/color] [i]"Well Miss, I'm sorry for disintegrating the back of your chair and hope that you're not to mad about it. If you'd ever want to continue this fight at another time, then I'm free at any time and always willing. Just come to the Frenzy Plant camp, or whatever their HQ is if you decide to cash this fight check after the Games, and as for Argus Leandros."[/i] He gave a short bow and produced a single, small lacrima from his hand using re-quip magic and tossed the stone to the ground, causing a veil of smoke to puff around him and Marlene. A split second later, several more smoke clouds would appear all over the square, making it hard to see which direction the man had gone in. [color=f49ac2]"Damnit..."[/color] Marlene sighs as she tries to look for him, [color=f49ac2]"Must it really have to be that dramatic?"[/color] However, unknowingly to her, this had a purpose. While this was happening, Marlene and Enma would feel themselves getting a little warm for about half a minute, and then really cold as their clothes seemed to burn away, leaving them to stand in the buff. Marlene looks down upon herself, only to see her naked body in a densely public area. Marlene gasps, with wide eyes, and screams in both embarrassment and anger as she tries to cover herself up with her arms and hands. [color=f49ac2]"WELL FUCK YOU, YOU ARGUS BITCH!"[/color] Marlene roars out enragingly. If it was one prank that she hated the most, it would most certainly be stuff that makes you butt-naked in front of everyone and everybody! Yet she wasn't the only one... even the male oni Enma was also butt-naked in all of his manly... glory. She couldn't say anything at the moment, other then cover her mouth for a few seconds, but at least this made her feel better about her current situation, but none of the less this Argus person is going to pay... Oh and he will pay indeed. Marlene will surely find him... and she will do many things to him... many... MANY unpleasant things to him.
