"If the buildings are damaged, maybe I should be the only one to go there... if they start collapsing, I won't be hurt," Hibiki answered, not liking the idea of Miku being in a collapsing building for... she had actually lost count of how many times something like that had happened now.[sup]1[/sup] Whilst if something collapsed on her, then she could just punch her way out, and if other people were trapped then it would be easier to rescue them if there was nothing else to worry about. If they all went, she would have to worry about Miku, and Misaki, and at the end of the day, they'd all have nowhere to spend the night again.

Shopping had proved relatively fruitful. If there was one positive to being trapped here, unable to sustain a more appropriate appearance for her age, it was that Tokyo had lots of clothing that Evangeline [i]liked.[/i] There was only so much that could be bought with limited funds but it was enough. And she still had some left over for dressing up that knight if things got too boring. Though with nothing left to buy, window shopping held little appeal and the blonde vampire had started to make her way back to the dropoff point.

Whatever the others had been doing had definitely not gone to plan. As she drew closer, there was the sound of [i]something[/i] breaking through the ground... and soon an elemental ball of some sort came into view, heading towards where she had just come from--the city centre. It wasn't moving quickly, so it wasn't like her allies would lose it... but everyone had been a physical fighter, and this wasn't exactly a physical challenge.

Internally grousing about how, at this rate, she was [i]definitely[/i] not going to be restoring her illusion any time soon--or at least not holding it--Evangeline placed one of her bags on the ground--

--and raised her hand along with the swelling icicle beneath the ball. Gelidus Capulus: a freezing confine to completely encase it. And permit its shattering.
