[u][b]Momoe Mizuno[/b][/u]

Momoe smirked at Hiroki. She didn't figure the guy had a backbone, but seeing him recognize the situation as stupid made him score points in her book.

"Yeah, no shit right? Knew you had your head screwed on right."

While Momoe was turned to Hiroki, she could pick up agitated shouting from the other side of the room. The girl ignored it, mostly, up until it started to get closer. The hairdresser poking Momoe's shoulder caused her wrist to be swiftly grasped, then slowly crushed into a fine paste underneath Momoe's grip. The smuggler had a decent amount of muscle, befitting of her rough looks. She turned her head away from Hiroki, slowly and methodically, while pushing herself up to a standing position. Momoe didn't exactly tower over Snow, but she was still taller than her, so she used that height advantage to make herself imposing. Her one eye pierced through Snow's own gaze as Momoe's face turned to that of a stone cold killer's, without a hint of compassion or fear.

"Oh, I'm sorry... did I scratch the petals of our delicate little flower?" Momoe asked as she tightened her grip.

"Listen here, you overgrown toddler. I get that you're shitting your pants in fear right now because you miss the warm, five-star meal cooked by your mother every morning. But you want to know something? I'm the one who's familiar with what it's like to break rules. With what it's like to go against authority. I know [i]exactly[/i] what kind of results that gets you.

Yeah, people got shot yesterday. You know what that was? A warning shot. A sign you should keep in line. I said you could be my guest if you wanted to throw your life away so easily, because I can guarantee nobody will miss your whiny face. Do you think they would kidnap a hacker, then give her all the tools in the world to escape? Do you really think we have any freedom in this place? Sure, If you want to die without accomplishing anything, you try to break down that door. You tempt our captors. Because I sure as shit know what it's like to be in a prison, and what tempting the guard does to you. And for the record,"

The smuggler pushed Snow's arm backwards to make her stumble away from Momoe, but the criminal immediately stepped forward and grabbed Snow by the collar so she couldn't run. She brought her face in closer, not once breaking eye-contact.

"I don't like being touched by some spoiled, uppity bitch."

And with that, Momoe pushed Snow away again, using the newly freed hand to brush her own sloppy hair aside. She pocketed it soon after, keeping her eyes dead-center on Snow's features.[hr][u][b]Taya Tsuin[/b][/u]

"Yeah, a total fool! I bet he's secretly a bully, too..." Taya continued to pout, burying her cheeks inside of her elbows while leaning forward on the canteen table. She perked up again once Saitou mentioned all of them getting out together, a sense of pride and accomplishment welling up inside of her.

"I knew you didn't give up yet! I just knew you weren't the type of person to back down from a challenge so quickly... call it a gut feeling!"

Taya's beaming smile could melt ice with the warmth and kindness it radiated. It radiated so hard, in fact, that the room could very well be quarantined for threat of radiation poisoning. Her soft expression didn't fade even as Chikako proposed a really insane plan, instead giggling at the enthusiasm.

"I don't think that's the solution, either... but everyone seems to want to work together. I... I have a good feeling that we'll all- Eep!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Taya jumped from Iclyn's sudden outburst. She turned to watch what was happening, helplessly witnessing the girl stampede towards Mizuno. Her eyes widened and she wanted to stop her, but before Taya had a chance to react, Mizuno had already forcibly grasped Iclyn's wrist.

"N-No, Mizuno! Stop!" Taya tried to shout in vain, her plea falling on deaf ears as the rough girl pushed away the hairdresser, who promptly collapsed and started to tear up. Taya covered her mouth in horror and shock, awe-struck in the worst possible way as she couldn't avert her eyes from the scene that had unfolded in front of her.

"That's... that's too cruel, Mizuno..." Taya muttered to herself with a shaky voice.
