[@PlatinumSkink][@Hammerman][@Flamelord][@Ariamis][@Card Captor][@Majoras End] Sensing danger, Sue flew off of Lilly's shoulder. The problem with this type of environment was that you had a lot of magical girls that wanted to work together, but no real way to direct them. Sue, Helga, and Amber could all be relayed information to each other via Boteg. However, everyone else was stuck fighting the battle on their own. United in cause, but not in mind. Sue was sure that the battle could be won, they just needed to work together. And it was the familiar's job to make sure everyone got the correct information. Flying around bloodicorns and metallic minions was not ideal, and she didn't have enough time to relay more than maybe a sentence or two to each magical girl she encountered. But it had to help, right? Soon Sue noticed Suwako. Amber didn't have time to approach the magical girl before, and the familiar wouldn't have much time to talk either. The familiar landed on Suwako's shoulder just long enough to catch her breath and say "Lilly's in trouble! You've gotta help that magical girl." She pointed at Lilly with her wing. Then without waiting for a response, she took to the air again. The net tore apart when faced with the magical pirate's strength. The net was never really designed to hold down a physically capable magical girl like Amber. She almost got skewed though. She almost used [i]that[/i] to turn the tides back to her favor. Well, she considered it anyway. Death might be a better outcome than falling prey to such consequences. But by this point, the pirate girl was by herself on top of the train. For the moment, Amber wasn't being attacked by a monster or other magical girls. She looked around herself to confirm as much. Then grinned. Amber lost track of Helga after she got hit by the car. The pirate would have to go looking for her, but it was time for a quick sneak attack. The pirate aimed her cannon into the air and fired at full force. The water that reached for the heavens soon came down in a controlled rain. Amber tried to guide the rain only over bloodicorn and clockwork soldier formations. If Lilly was going to focus her lightning through her water, she couldn't risk getting too close to any ally magical girls. Amber was able to protect herself by guiding the water away from her body. She would make doubly sure to guide any water away from herself. Even when she walked, the puddles would move away from her boots. With Amber's part of the attack set up, she hopped off the train to see where Helga wound up.

The little bird was trying to do quite a bit of work, and honestly, it wasn't the most effective way to go about doing things. But thanks to Tonya, there were a few illusionary Sue's flying around talking to people, and from Sue's perspective, she would perceive some of these people as being closer together so that they could get her message all at once. It wasn't easy, but it was within her abilities. Minnie's attacks were getting stronger, and it was difficult for Tonya to multitask easing her attacks and helping Sue along. Pretty soon, she would have to assist Amber with something more personal... [hr] [@t2wave][@DarkwolfX37] Again with the handshakes. Regina stared at Shannon's outstretched hand, then at her, and then at her hand again. She didn't understand why so many people insisted on shaking on things. Handshakes were for sleazy car salesman, loan sharks, and the mafia. At least this time it seemed like the hand she was going to shake was attached to someone who genuinely wanted to help them. Regina gradually reached for Shannon's hand, gave it a weak shake, and then quickly retracted it. She was very proud of the fact that she was able to keep eye contact with the magical girl this time, and didn't even need Elroy's assistance. Regina was about to sigh out of relief, but she disguised it as a cough. “Thank you.” She made an awkward smile. But it vanished as soon as Elroy pulled everyone into a huge group hug. “Alrighty, we're a trio now!” He looked between Regina and Shannon. “I feel like we should do something special. Maybe go out to eat somewhere. We just need to make enough money to do that.” He winked at Regina. “A-actually, I'd like to see our new accommodations.” Regina's arms were pinned at her sides. She probably could have struggled free, but she didn't want to make a scene. Not that three kids hugging on a busy sidewalk during school hours wasn't a scene already. “You also seem to know a lot about what's going on. Maybe if we could find a place a bit more private, we could exchange stories.” "And show you how cool we look in uniform!" Elroy hugged them tighter.
