Just a flesh wound, then. Tougher than she looked. Well, she couldn't let herself be distracted by it. She needed to clean up the mummies in the area so Amaryllis could safely deal with Annabelle. For the most part, her attacks seemed effective. Sword after sword was launched towards the mummies, impaling them upon the stadiums walls like a kebab, the abominations writhing and trying to free themselves to no avail. The only thing that was distracting her, was Amaryllis herself. [color=chocolate]"...good grief. That flowery language almost makes me want to shoot her instead."[/color] She smirked lightly to herself, stringing up another javelin, ready to launch a second strike on Annabelle - yet the moment the bow was fully drawn, she hesitated. Annabelle's visage was not one of a murderer. Not a cold grin. Not a smirk or some other...no, it was more of what one would have indeed expected from a child. As Amaryllis' blade cut Annabelle's arm, she could have finished the job right then and there - but she hesitated. [color=chocolate]"...Tch."[/color] Rina lowered her bow. Soft. She was being soft, wasn't she? Yet, even if she wanted to ensure peace by killing monsters - what sort of human being would she be if she mercilessly slaughtered someone who didn't even understand what was happening? Someone ignorant of their own sins? Ignorance could be helped. Besides, it seemed like Annabelle was standing down. Subduing someone was the same as stopping the immediate problem, so she could at least afford this much. Good thing, too. It looked like this place was becoming crowded. A magical...boy? That was new. Jumped out of the sky, into the middle of the field, a barrier around him. If another magical boy was showing up, then likely beacon wouldn't be far behind. She should leave before they show up. She didn't have much of a desire to stick around and involve herself with them, though perhaps that was short sighted. She could potentially help ask for information about the one who conducted the attack the other day. Rina lowered her bow, impaling the arrow she had made in the floor. She'd wait and watch what Amaryllis and this newcomer would do for now. Mercy, was what she chose today, and potentially maybe help this Annabelle- Or not. Floating...chairs? Somehow they had become unbolted from the stadium's floor. Quickly readying her bow again, Rina narrowed her eyes, not going near the edge of the roof. For that, seemed like an obvious trap. Instead, she put more distance from the edge of the roof, moving more towards the back. She had no desire to engage in a probable melee alone. [color=chocolate]"Figures. Sympathy and mercy are something I shouldn't waste my time with. Come out! Or continue hiding. I'll just kill you from back here."[/color] Whoever or whatever was hiding, better hope they had a hard head as soon as they revealed themselves because they'd be getting a javelin to the face. She should have expected Annabelle wouldn't have acted alone. Sloppy, Rina. She needed to be better than this.

Ah, Penrose was so much more chaotically violent these days, wasn't it? So pleasing, to both her and the dragon. Well, if the Dragon was capable of even being pleased nowadays. He was already half dead anyways. Poor thing. Oh well. Ignoring the events elsewhere in the city, Chloe turned her attention back to the Hospital. Ah, this was so very easy. Able to move around without being noticed by anyone was nice! She didn't even have to cause the distractions herself this time. [color=violet]"Now lets see..."[/color] Taking a moment to scan the hospital, it didn't take long to find both the floor and the room that her 'new friend' was in. [hr] [b]"Ahhh...why do I have to be cooped up in this hospital."[/b] Aurora Mackenzie. Normal human and otherwise kind of a good-hearted ditz. Recent victim of some weird gas explosion. [b]"ARGH I can't stand it I wanna go out and do stuff but noooo!"[/b] She pouted, folding her arms across her chest before wincing slightly. [b]"Ow...ow...right. Injured."[/b] Aurora sighed, reaching for a fashion magazine and flipping it open. Well, at least she could still do something. She'd have to go and take Mary shopping at some point! She was already getting a bunch of fun ideas she'd like to try. [b]"Don't worry Mary, I'll help you get a date with Cole yet! Wingman Aurora shall not let my best friend down, not even after being nearly killed, haha! Ow-laughing hurts..."[/b] [i]Knock knock[/i] [b]"Eh?"[/b] Someone was knocking on her door? Who was coming to visit her? The doctors didn't seem to mind just barging in every now and then, and the police hadn't been to see her since she woke from the explosion. [i]Knock knock[/i] [b]"...uhm..."[/b] The sound was coming...from the window? Was it bird? Aurora looked over to the window. [b]"...GYAAA?!"[/b] A most ungirly scream erupted from her lips as she scrambled backwards, falling off the bed in the process. A girl, dressed like some sort of weird sexy cosplayer was floating outside of the building. Ah, this was a hallucination right? Had to be! She was high or something from medication, right!? Peeking over the edge of the bed, the girl floating outside seemed to notice her. She made swift motion with her hands towards the window. [b]"Uhm...wow how are you doing that...you want me to open it? Is that right?"[/b] Aurora pointed back to the lock on the window, to which the girl nodded happily. Well this didn't seem shady or suspect at all, nope! Aurora walked over, opening the window and looking up at the floating girl. [color=violet]"Ahaha, wow, I didn't actually think you'd do it. It's no fun if you're not at least a [i]little[/i] suspicious."[/color] [b]"Well, like, you're just a hallucination right? A really fashionable looking hallucination that Mary could take pointers from."[/b] [color=violet]"Hallucination...?"[/color] Chloe smirked before bursting out into laughter, flying through the window and landing lightly on the floor of the room. [color=violet]"I can assure you, my little pretty Aurora, I am no hallucination."[/color] Chloe relaxed, lightly giggling. [color=violet]"Ah, the last time I did this was quite awhile ago. Question, Aurora...do you want to be a magical girl?"[/color] [b]"..eh?"[/b] [color=violet]"You heard me."[/color] [b]"Magical...girl?"[/b] Aurora paused, giving Chloe a critical look as she seemed to have difficulty processing those words. [b]"For real? Like a really real magical girl? You're kidding right? That stuff doesn't exist."[/b] [color=violet]"And that, my dear, is where you're wrong."[/color] Chloe sighed, shaking her head before hopping onto the bed and taking a seat on it. [color=violet]"Such a grand, false...disgusting lie. Mortals can't seem to remember magical happenings. Shame, really. Such things should be open for everyone to use. If I were to tell you it wasn't a gas attack, but a terror attack by a certain sexy - if unscrupulous magical girl?"[/color] [b]"Uhm...you're saying a lot of weird stuff that makes my head hurt. Like, and it was a gas explosion right? A lot of people got hurt."[/b] [color=violet]"Okay, ditz, I'll dumb it down for you a bit."[/color] Chloe replied a bit harshly. [color=violet]"Do you have anyone you want to save? Anyone you like? Someone you'd...I don't know, want to protect? Of course you do. All humans do. I can give you the power to do that, and if you help me, you can make a world where no one has to worry about such things again."[/color] [b]"...sorry, head just hurts more."[/b] [color=violet]"Look, stupid."[/color] Chloe was losing her patience a bit. [color=violet]"You wanna be a hero? Change the world? I can make it so you can."[/color] [b]"Uhm uhm, I dunno this is all really sudden..."[/b] [color=violet]"...you get to wear a pretty dress. [sub]Probably[/sub]."[/color] At this, Aurora's eyes perked up. [b]"Ah! Y'mean like all those flowery ones in those anime and stuff?"[/b] Chloe nodded. [b]"I'll do it!"[/b] [color=violet]"Great, now hold still."[/color] [b]"...E-eh?"[/b] Blood. Blood filled her mouth, a sharp pain feeling like it was wrenching her chest open. [color=violet]"It'll hurt only for a moment. Don't try and fight it. You might die."[/color]
