"Huh. I don't think I've met a monstergirl who acted so much like their namesake before. Still, it's great to meet you, Kimble." Sumer gave a slight bow to the catgirl. It seemed that maybe this branch wasn't as similar to her as she'd hoped, but any progress was still progress. 

"Ah. That's... not something I like to talk about." she replied to Kyle. Thinking back on it still hurt, to be honest. The boy apparently had asked what she was thinking for her, trying to get more information about the robot girl. At least it seemed like she'd get along decently with these mahou.

The simple copy did as she reported, and began streaming the scene before her, now with the arrival of an electric magic user and a sword-bearing monster hater.

Meanwhile, a certain owl seemed to be patrolling the area, looking for something. Or in the bird's case, [i]someone[/i]. The strange bird glanced around as it flew, until it spotted the clone. [b]"[i]Hoo.[/i]"[/b] The owl perched next to the clone, staring at her. Possibly in thought.

[color=0076a3]"Hello."[/color] That Shion responded to its presence before returning her attention to the other mahou. 

[b]"Greetings."[/b] Theresa replied, looking between the fight and the clone. [b]"So why are you in the peanut gallery for this?"[/b] She asked, pointing a wing to the other magical girls.

"Shion" blinked. [color=0076a3]"Oh. You speak.[/color] Her response was somewhat monotone. [color=0076a3]I don't have a horse in this race.[/color] She moved her phone to record the mysterious owl for a few seconds before returning it to its previous position.

Theresa nodded. [b]"Of course, this is just one of my forms as a familiar.[/b] She explained. [b]"Oh shoot! I forgot something! I'll be right back.[/b] the familiar facepalmed(?), and flew away.

[color=0076a3]"..."[/color] Shion watched it fly away and went back to what she was doing.

In reality, Theresa was flying back to Eliza, who had been waiting by a building near the alley Samantha and the spirit user dissapeared to. [color=mediumpurple]"So?"[/color] the witch asked. [b]"We're in luck. Follow me."[/b] Theresa motioned for her to follow, before flying back to "Shion." Multi-colored ribbons grew out of Eliza's back, as the witch made her way to higher ground, using the ribbons as rope.

"Shion" didn't notice the colorful display above her as she focused on recording.

Landing behind the clone, the witch's ribbons slowly trailed up behind "Shion" like snakes eyeing their prey, until they suddenly shot at her, wrapping the clone up until she was imoblized. 

The Shion copy didn't sem to react. She simply kept recording what was in front of her now that her hand was stuck to her side. 

[color=mediumpurple]"Wow. You're a stubborn one, aren't ya?"[/color] Eliza chuckled, lifting the copy into the air. [color=mediumpurple]"Look, i'll make this quick. You a clone or the real deal?"[/color] she asked, placing a hand on her hip.

[color=0076a3]"..."[/color] Shion kept silent and moved her hand so that the phone would record the witch who was interregating her. [color=0076a3]"I'm real, if that's what you're asking.[/color] She continued in monotone.

[color=mediumpurple]"Can't be sure till you give me proof, buddy. Sorry."[/color] the witch shook her head with a slight grin. [color=mediumpurple]"I've been sent to search for you, so all I ask is that you come quietly, and we'll be fine, capiche?"[/color]

[color=0076a3]"Sure."[/color]

[color=mediumpurple]"...Huh."[/color] Eliza blinked, before squeezing her comunicator bow. [color=mediumpurple]"Veronica, it's Eliza. I've suceeded in locating Shion. [i]A[/i] Shion? I think?"[/color] She talked into it, looking back up at Shion. [color=mediumpurple]"Hard to tell if it's a clone or not."[/color] the witch mumbled.

[color=0076a3]"..."[/color] Shion said nothing as she waited for Eliza to do whatever it was she intended to.

[color=mediumpurple]"So, I don't know if I should wait on Ms. Veronica or not. Maybe we could get to know each other before your interrogation?"[/color] Eliza suggested, unable to shake the suspicion that her misson was a bit [i]too[/i] easy... Eh, she probably just had a lucky break this time.

[color=0076a3]"No thank you. I don't like talking about myself.[/color] "Shion" replied.

[color=mediumpurple]"Oh. Okay..."[/color]
