[center][h1][color=silver]Annabelle Irons[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] [color=silver]"....WAIT A SECOND, MAJORA IS A DEITY, I HEARD MY BOSS WRONG ON THAT ONE! MY BAD!!!"[/color] Annabelle yelled aloud in the direction the other magical girl had left, all after her 'boss' had sent her a correction to something she had said to the Rose Knight, feeling a bit embarrassed at the mix-up of words and hoping her speaking had managed to get through. Maybe... Rolling her eyes at herself, Annabelle walked away as front doors formed upon the old, metal hinges that had once held a pair in the past. It seemed her boss was wanting to close the door....er, "just in case" anyone else wandered into here. Again. To make the third visit of the day, as it were. Though for now, Annabelle left her magical girl form and continued walking down the hall, a hunger for loaded french fries lingering in her mind. Oh! Maybe that thing she'd heard about called "Junkyard Fries"! Could the "chef" make that, though? Hmm.... [center][color=crimson][i]'My servant, a key component has been finally acquired, and Nevermore will be returning to your side.'[/i][/color][/center] Annabelle stopped in her tracks as the voice of Soth rung within the wall of her skull. A smile came to her face at the thought of Nevermore coming back, though- [color=silver]"Sweet! But....eh, you never told me the details of what you wanted to do here, boss. How much do ya need to do whatever it is you said you got in the works? What is going on anyway?"[/color] the magical girl said, brief joy transforming into an inquisitive curiosity that seemed to take root at the time. [center][color=crimson][i]'All in good time, but for now you have leave to go into the city. Do as you will, and i shall call you back when i need of you again.[/i][/color][/center] Annabelle raised an eyebrow at this, but gave a small shrug. She didn't have the best feeling in her gut about whatever her "boss" was up to....but she at least had friends now, right? Two of em', and one was an absolute cutie to boot! Besides, this was her chance to get gifts for them when they met again, eh? She had the cash for it anywho, even after handing over the thousand to the two. An inky black orb appeared in front of her before expanding into a portal, courtesy of her patron, before the grinning, casually dressed redhead stepped into the portal. Soon after, much as had been before with Nevermore, the portal ate itself up and disappeared entirely once more. [center][h3]-In The City-[/h3][/center] Landing in an alley was not her first choice, but it had gotten her here to where all the stores were! Nearly jumping out of giddiness, Annabelle took off onto the sidewalk. Where would she visit first? What would be next? She had no idea overall, but all she knew was she was getting her new friends gifts! Perhaps a friendship bracelet? Ooh, a ring could be nice! Though that could send an odd message....hmpf. But what might most compliment Regina's appearance, though? Hmm...yes, that was the most important question of the day for this instance of shopping! Regardless, unless interrupted by anyone she had the rest of the day for this at least. [@ERode][@Rune_Alchemist] [hr] [center][h1][color=blue]Nina Kujo[/color] and [color=violet]Alice Honorsby[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] [color=violet]"Ah! You strike my heart! I wasn't even looking for a fight, heh, though i never got your name,"[/color] Red Rifle said, before giving a cute wink to Chloe and putting one hand on her hip, the other remaining on her gun, her hips jutting out in a seductive manner, a toothy grin of her own showing, [color=violet]"Though if you wanna' tussle at your place after a nice dinner, i might consider its~ I kinda like the teasing, cute type whose got some fangs, maybe has that kind of 'spirit' that makes a relationship spicy~"[/color] She could do this kinda talk, or other types of acts and behaviors, all day long if she wanted to. She kinda enjoyed this kind of banter, and throwing in the pun almost made her crack a legitimate laugh out even amidst this pressuring situation. Not that she had lost tracks of things, or her awareness for that matter. Experience and time had left her gaining a lot of skill that someone like Nina might not have, though this girl was definitely dangerous to more than just the eyes. To Red Rifle a viciousness seemed to lurk in this individual, a sense of cruelty, and the scene from last night was something this person had created as well. All this pointed to more than shady morals at work, in the most obvious sense possible. [color=blue]"Alice, you idiot...,[/color] Nina said under her breath as her spirit and herself bounded over rooftops toward where Alice and the earlier event's perpetrator were lurking. The rooftop was a bad place for this, since Red could see essentially anywhere from anyplace with that scope. Nina nearly cursed under her breath at what was going on, if not for the fact Red had years more experience and skill than herself. She couldn't even perceive the location of where the two were yet, not close enough for them to even notice her at all. Crap. that perpetrator, they needed to go down. All those people dead, it was unforgivable! And if she hurt Alice, or worse, the pain train would be coming to that perpetrator's face even faster than Nina felt it already had been. Honestly, it had been a long time since she'd met Alice, and that was hard to believe. Years of working together, actually, since they had first met. Heh. Nina could almost recall the day the veteran had run into her, or vice versa, and really it had been the first time another magical girl had extended that hand to her in camaraderie at all. It was something that,well, had become truly "hers" in regards to life experiences. Because all of "those" memories, those were not hers.....they were not "her" at all in regards to what they felt like. But "that" woman had been real, living, having a life and all before it all had collapsed into nothing. Nothing but Nina herself. It was odd, like an existential crisis of some sort, but if there was one thing that "useless goddess" had done right in her mind it was saying this- [center][b][color=lime]"Look, you dummy! The only person that matters right now is you! You are yourself, Nina, my champion, and if you think otherwise i'll....i'll smack some sense into ya!"[/color][/b][/center] -...the childish manner of that line delivery aside, at any rate.
