[center][color=steelblue][u][b] Absinthe Blue [/b][/u][/color] [@Lonewolf685][/center] Before Broker of Fortune could even evade the tag game with the most obnoxious and infamous of Deep Ground's hacker scum: A.K.A., Corpse Collector. Someone else had arrived at the Blue City and was trying to control the chaos that had spread everywhere. This someone was none other than the Cobalt Bruisers' second-in-command, Absinthe Blue. Her real world counterpart had run out of the theater, seeking Maribel when the messages began to spam her interface. Yuuno had no choice but give up on finding the Blue King and -- once more-- take matters at her own hands. And so she did. She run as fast as she could to her room and logged in on Deep Ground. [color=steelblue]"Seriously! Out of all the times for Titania-sama to be unreliable and unreachable, it had to be when the world is falling down?"[/color] Absinthe muttered under her breath, sulking as she materialized at the Throne Room of the Blue Guild. [color=steelblue]"..."[/color] The Blue Fairy sighed before slapping her own face. [color=steelblue]"Stand on your own legs, Yuuno.. It's not like you can count with others forever, you know that!"[/color] Yuuno spoke some words of encouragement -- or was it assertion?-- to herself. The yelling outside would cut her internal monologue, though. Absinthe had no choice but to unfurl her wings and fly, streaking like a start to the top of the Blue Castle. [color=steelblue]"Hear me, everyone!"[/color] Absinthe's voice echoed through all of the city as she used the local chat to broadcast her message. [color=steelblue]"I don't know what's happening, none of us know. But there are enemies breaking the things we worked so hard to build. We can't let them get away with this. We are the Cobalt Bruisers, the economic heart of Deep Ground. We'll throw this offensive back and then we will make them pay for what they have done... with plenty of interest. Now, shake off this blue and get working, our priority is open a corridor for the infantry, once our tanks roll out, the tide of battle should turn in our favor. Let's Jam!"[/color] Without spending time, Absinthe joined the fray as well, double casting her Arcane Bolts and Azure Busters with wild abandon. [center][color=9966cc][u][b] Eris Reinhardt [/b][/u][/color] [@TheWindel] [@Lucius Cypher][/center] When Eris came back from the multimedia room, where she escorted her older sister to, she decided to take a small break. She went to watch the final moments of the Ebony Stryker's show, if for nothing else, to have a chance of seeing Moon Rider face to face once again. The young German was surprised or, maybe, abashed at Moon Rider's appearance. [color=9966cc]"So, she's capable of such things too, huh? Though, if that's the best she can do, Moon Rider's really better off as a fighter. However, such awkwardness is really kinda cute or, I think so-"[/color] Eris' mood was greatly sullied by the appearance of Dark Wraith and Arms slave, her expression sunk into a deep frown at having to look at the faces of those pieces of digital trash. Nevertheless, she made a point of being as close to the front of the crowd as she could, which would become a source of contempt in a few moments as her world was almost turned upside down. Chiyo's appearance and speech, the violence and senseless real world bloodshed that ensued after it. This left the young German momentarily dumbfounded, stunned without any idea of what to do. That is, until a group of three Stryker thugs, most likely Sweepers, took the chance to circle Eris and pressure her against a wall. [color=ffffff]"Well, well, look at what we have here, boys. If it's not the Eclipse bitch in flesh and frills-GAAH!."[/color] The one who seemed to be the leader said as he placed his hand besides Eris' head. Not for long, really, as soon enough the maid outfit dressed girl would twist said hand before bringing her elbow to the boy's gut. [color=ffffff]"You little runt, what do you think you ar-ARGH!!"[/color] Seeing their boss be disabled by a girl seemingly way weaker than them, the other two boys -- all of them likely to be older than seveteen, by the way-- jumped at Eris who stepped forward taking the space previously occupied by the leader. Eris swiftly took her apron off and used it to assist on tripping one of the boys over the other, stepping on the back of the knee his knee and twisting his arm as well, all in a seamlessly fluid motion, slightly remniscent of martial arts like Aikido and self-defense methods like Kravmag. [color=9966cc]"I don't have the time to deal with the likes of you. I don't owe you any explanation, nor apologies. Stay away from me, both on that game, or out of it, if you don't want this to happen again."[/color] Eris said as she took the chance to dash out of the theater, in search of her sister. [center][color=deepskyblue][u][b] Eris Reinhardt [/b][/u][/color] [@Flamelord][/center] [color=deepskyblue]"Everything is correct! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new winner of an all-paid weekend trip to the a genuine hot springs inn for a whole family!"[/color] Eins declared dramatically as she extended her hand to give the voucher of the reserves to Masae. [color=deepskyblue]"Would you like to give us any declaration-What's!?"[/color] The bunny-dressed hostess was about to pass the microphone to Masae when all hell broke loose around the campus. [color=deepskyblue]"They did what?"[/color] Eins said when one of the other members of the Computer Research society came and whispered something on her ear. [color=deepskyblue]"I'm sorry, everyone, because of unforeseen circumstances, we will have to end our game here. Please, take care on your way out, it looks like some sort of riot has taken the campus."[/color] Was the last of Eins' annoucements before she put the mic away, rigth on time to get Eris' call asking where and how she was in a worried voice. [color=deepskyblue]"I'm alright, Sis. I'm at the Computer Research Society right now..." "Sure, I can wait for you here..." "No, there's nothing wrong with me, Sis. By the way, Gunnr and Mom should be ok. If anything happened they would be all over us now..." "I know, I know... Ok, I'll be waiting for you. Take care, Sis."[/color] Was Eins' last reply as went to at least change the heels she was wearing for indoor shoes. As she waited for her sister, the platinum-haired girl wished that nothing serious would happen this time, for real.
