Once she had left the other two girl behind, Misaki let out a bit of a sigh as she began to run though the information that was being collected in her head. Multiple parts of the city under lockdown or being evacuated, people being moved to shelters or simply wandering about, law enforcement and even the occasional JSDF soldier milling about.

Needless to say, of course, that she was still left with a need for information. The best guess she could hazard for the moment was that whatever supernatural thing had dragged them here was also causing this massive upheaval in Tokyo, but given the differing accounts of what was happening where, the best she could surmise even on that front was that other people (things, maybe?) were popping up here, too. It lent a bit of credence to the idea of 'multiple universes' in this whole mess, at the very least, and would explain why Hibiki and that Ben person were acting as they did.

[i]"Given those two girls' apparent sense of justice, I don't think that staying undercover is an option..."[/i] she mused to herself as she walked to a nearby convenience store. The place, as expected, was packed, and the young woman let out a bit of a sigh as she slyly fished for a remote from out of her bag.

No one was going to stand between her and a meal that wouldn't ruin her metabolism. Well, comparatively, at least.

With one click after another, the people in the store seemed to part way for her, and Misaki took all the pleasure in casually grabbing a salad (probably the best thing she could get here given the usual convenience store food) before casually walking over to pay. Of course, the people here wouldn't remember she had cut though; no, to them, she would have always been in the front of the line.

Oh, the joys of being able to use Mental Out.

With her newly-obtained food in hand (and a cup of boiling water for the brunette), Misaki calmly walked back to where the other two were, acting as if nothing at all unusual was to be noted in her actions. She was careful to erase any hint of her actions, of course—someone would tamper with the footage in the security cameras in the next few minutes or so, which left her without worry that someone would sniff her out.

Probably.

[hr]
Miku let out a soft giggle as she crawled into the tent with Hibiki to check it out. It was fairly stable for her first time, all things considered, and for that she was grateful. She had to admit, though, that it was a bit small—the older man definitely wouldn't fit, though the three of them here would probably be fine—and she would probably have to apologize to him later for being so discourteous so as to not get something for him, at the very least.

"Yep. Don't worry, Hibiki; we'll definitely be side-by-side. No matter what happens, I won't let you be alone again."

Clutching her right hand ever so slightly, the young woman closed her eyes and nodded to herself before embracing Hibiki once more. The sound of a hand tapping against the tent caused her to pause for a moment before breaking away, though, and she turned to face the source of the noise.

"You two are in there, aren't you? Hibiki, I brought you some boiling water for those instant noodles, however much that's worth," Misaki stated from the other side of the fabric, calmly placing a cup down outside of the tent's entrance before sitting down on a nearby bench and starting to eat her own food. At the very least, they had somewhere to stay for the night, however uncomfortable it looked to be.

...

[i]"...I'm going to be wishing I was back in Tokiwadai the next few days. Ugh, what a bother..."[/i]

[h2][center]Hinanawi Tenshi[/center][/h2]
As soon as the knives came flying down, Tenshi rushed into the fray, casually weaving through the hundreds of bullets that were being thrown her way. Learning to dodge was essential in Gensokyo, after all, and she was no exception to that rule... Even if she preferred to beat people over the head instead. The barrage seemed to intensify the closer she got, though, and after a little while Tenshi began to return fire. Yukari seemed to dodge her attacks just as easily, though, and the two seemed to be locked in a mini-dogfight before a giant while flash of light came through from the side.

"Oh. Right. It's not a duel," Tenshi reminded herself as she turned to look at Emilio, who was attempting to shoot down Yukari. It wasn't a Master Spark, of course, but it looked to be powerful enough.

The downside was, of course, that Yukari could simply slip off to the side and graze past the laser.

"Hey, Emilio! Funnel her movements! You leave even the slightest of openings, and she'll get away!" she cried out over the sound of danmaku and other assorted projectiles lighting up the sky before noticing that Nanoha had already taken that into account.

Perfect.

"Oh? Is this a case of 'accidental teamwork'?" Yukari asked casually, sliding between Nanoha's barrage and Emilio's laser before laughing. "But come now, I think that's not all you have to show, right?"

Almost as if on cue, though, Yukari was blindsided by Vita's attack, which had ended up hidden (completely by accident) by Emilio's laser beam. The hit wasn't direct, of course, but the barrage of knives stopped and seemed to dissipate into nothingness, and the youkai paused for a few seconds before a smile crept up her face. Knowing what was to come, Tenshi braced herself and readied her blade in anticipation for the following attack.

"Not bad. Test one: complete. Let's see how you fare against this."
With that, Yukari calmly flicked out a spellcard from her sleeve and called out its name, causing the world around them to feel hazy and inconsistent.

"Barrier 「Curse of Dreams and Reality」."

Almost as if in an incorporeal haze, the Yukari in front of the group seemed to fade in and out of reality before she finally began to attack. At once, she sent out a series of sigils that seemed to lock onto her opponents' current positions and stay there before firing a three-way stream of bullets around them. Another followed, and another, and before long it was as if all of the combatants were being chased down. All the while, though, Yukari continued to fire her own bullets, deceptively large but still more than enough of a threat to warrant dodging.

"This is... Rather unpleasant," Tenshi said, taking a deep breath to try and let her see clearly past all of this storm of bullets. While the bullets never left her focus as she remained half-aware of the trail the sigils were leaving, what was more problematic were that the bullets seemed to linger as they traveled towards the others. The inability to grasp a sense of exact direction wasn't helping either, and more than once the Celestial had come close to running into a bullet of her own accord. "She's really not holding back, huh?"

[hr]
The amethyst shards that Alberich shot forth clearly embedded themselves into the monster's sludge—or, well, however cleanly they could be given the circumstances—and slowly began to burrow their wa deeper into the creature. Rather than stop it entirely, though, the crystals seemed to be gravitating towards the monster's core, separating it from the refuse it was leaving in its wake. Of course, said sludge was also the reason why the crystals themselves were taking so long to envelop the thing.

As the slime continues to move forth, though, it would be clear that a vast majority of its mass was being left behind, leaving what seemed to be a ball of... [i]Something[/i] being weighed down by the amethyst weights at its back. Despite having no apparent limbs, the target continued to move forth, though now much less impeded by the sludge that had once enveloped it.

[h2][center]Leonardo Watch[/center][/h2]
Leo paused for a moment to look at the picture that Meteora had brought up on her phone before glancing at Youmu. Then back at the phone.
Then back to Youmu again.

"Um... Okay, I guess it shouldn't be too hard to find Yuyuko if she stands out like... That. If anything, the outfit she has is pretty different from a lot of the suits or casual clothing everyone else in the city wears," he stated as Sonic leaped up on his shoulder to take a closer look. "Um... Sonic, do you want to try looking for her? I'll get you double your usual share of food if you do."

The monkey seemed to nod enthusiastically at Leo's suggestion, and without a moment's delay, he shot off out of sight. With a pensive nod, Leo turned to Sanaki before thinking about her secondary suggestion before shaking his head.

"I don't think she'd make the news, if anything. You underestimate how weird this city could get, even before... Well, I guess the Great Collapse didn't happen, but even so," he stated before continuing to walk ahead. "It's not as if she'd be the cause of any major incidents, right?"

It was a few more minutes of walking later, though, before Sonic flew back towards the group, coming to a clean stop on Leo's shoulder before pointing him off to the northwest. His motions seemed somewhat urgent, but overall it really seemed to be Sonic doing as he usually did.

"Did you find her?" Leo asked, receiving a nod in return before the monkey leaped off his shoulder and ran ahead, jumping up and down to guide them as they moved along. "...Huh. So she was in the city, then. What are the odds?"

Their destination? A brunch buffet.

Were anyone to enter, of course, they would see the same woman who had been on Meteora's phone a few moments prior, happily trying a little bit of everything available... And then some.
Of, and the tower of plates stacked up on the table. That, too.

The criminal underbelly in Manhattan would not be apt to show itself during the early morning, if at all, but the same might not be said of the less-well-kept parts of the city. Organized crime, after all, thrived in the darkness, and so long as they could remain vigilant and blackmail any accidental witnesses, problems could remain... Nonexistent.

Of course, illegal shipments near the ocean were already unloaded by this time of day, and there were already some men milling about to protect the goods from being discovered. Even if daylight raids weren't all that common, it never hurt to be safe, especially given the insanity earlier that day.
