[color=6ecff6][h3][center]~Miren~[/center][/h3][/color] [color=6ecff6]"R-right...okay, first things first. Need to find the tear."[/color] Miren frowned, fumbling with her items as she left the shop. In her hand, was a small rod of some sort that was decorated with a number of different crystals of various sizes and shapes. It was a rod of sorts - able to detect strong sources of mana. Miren fumbled with it, pointing it in a few different directions before the crystals glowed dully. [color=6ecff6]"R-right, this way!"[/color] Miren hopped in the direction the rod told her to travel in. Eith followed behind, and the two of them made fairly good progress and were only eventually halted by a group of a few undead that were right in their path. [b][h3][center]~Cynthia~[/center][/h3][/b] [color=1b1464]"OOh, ice play. That's new."[/color] The pumpkin replied. [color=1b1464]"Gotta admit, this is new. Heh, maybe I should do something like this with Kozue..."[/color] It didn't seem like Ayumi was going to be taking this 'punishment' too seriously. Cynthia herself simply frowned, observing the ninja with a passive expression. [b]"You must teach disobedient children harshly."[/b] She said, walking over to Ayumi. [color=1b1464]"...Hey there, maid. Punishment time?~"[/color] Cynthia simply remained silent, observing the pumpkin silently for a moment, giving the ninja a completely emotionless stare. A few uneasy seconds passed. [color=1b1464]"...uh, don't mind being stared at but what are you-"[/color] Cynthia suddenly grabbed the pumpkin by the head. [color=1b1464]"Ow ow, hey watch the goods!"[/color] Before she could say anything else, Cynthia delivered a swift uppercut right into the pumpkins face. The force of the blow combined with her wind magic, made a small localized whirlwind that dislodged the mask from her head, and sent her and it flying right through the air. [color=1b1464]"Gah! I'm a pumpkin! Pumpkins can't flyyyyyy!"[/color] [b]"...shall we go back to the dance are, my sweet?"[/b] Cynthia turned her head towards Mugi as she asked the question. [b][h3][center]~Marie~[/center][/h3][/b] [color=silver]"Aw...for me?"[/color] Marie observed the glass of wine with a small smile. [color=silver]"You don't expect me to drink this, do you?"[/color] Marie sighed, sniff lightly as she touched the glass and placed it on a nearby desk. Instead, she walked over to a desk in the room. [color=silver]"Hmm...she always keeps some for us around here somewhere....ah, here we are!"[/color] Marie pulled out a large glass bottle - it was darkly colored, the label on it was completely torn off and the liquid inside was some dark shade of red. [color=silver]"Eheh~"[/color] The silver haired girl walked over to the bed, sitting on the edge of it and pouting the contents of the bottle into an empty wine glass. [color=silver]"Much better, than that cheap human stuff."[/color] Marie pressed her lips to the glass, taking an appreciative sip of the red liquid. It smelled vaguely of apples. [color=silver]"Hmm...to answer your question though, pet, I am what you might call...a princess of sorts."[/color] She smirked. [color=silver]"Allow me to fully introduce myself. Lucia Marie - Heir to the throne of Pride...well, as soon as my mom croaks."[/color] The demon inched closer to Maoin, giving her a predatory grin. [color=f6989d][h3][center]~Lyssa~[/center][/h3][/color] Upon being called 'not adorable' by Kozue, She released the priestess, jumping back a few paces as she wore a seemingly offended look. [color=f6989d]"H-hey! I am innocent and adorable! Just because my mom is literally Satan and my dad is a Minotaur Warlord don't mean I can't be innocent and adorable!"[/color] The demon seemed to forgot entirely about fighting Kozue, and instead gave the human a pout, puffing out her cheeks slightly as she took a decidedly non-threatening stance. Before either of them could do anything else, there was a familiar voice shout from above. [color=1b1464]"Catchmecatchmecatchmekozuepllllleaseoryouknowdon'tbecasueI'dtotallybeintoit!"[/color] It seemed the trajectory of the blast sent the ninja and her mask falling right on top of Kozue.
