Even so, the green-haired student's glare served as a reminder that this group wasn't to be messed with, but Allegra stepped forward, meeting that knife-sharp gaze. She wouldn't be deterred as easily as the grouchy dark girl wanted. [color=tomato]"Answers! It-It's answers I want!"[/color] she demanded, hoping nobody saw through her defiant facade to how unnerved she was. [color=tomato]"First of all, is anyone hurt? Secondly, what was that even about? And last of all..."[/color] She scanned the room. [color=tomato]"What's going on with you? I mean, why are so many of you like this?"[/color] Although less intense, corruption permeated the classroom like acrid fumes as it seeped from some of the occupants, in particular the one she now confronted. It was as if a black hole of negativity had devoured all light this student may have once had within her. How did anyone fall this far, Allegra wondered, let alone a magical girl?

[color=darkmagenta]"Oh please, you sound like that little flying gnat. Except your buzzing's even louder,"[/color] she sneered. [color=darkmagenta]"And that awful din you make must have messed up your hearing, because I gave you the answer to that last one, right after I saved you from ending up as ground chuck all over the streets. If you can't brighten the darkness, you might as well embrace it. Of course, we all have our reasons, but that's what it boils down to."[/color] Her eyes shifted to Touka, who sat glowering at the noisy nuisance. [color=darkmagenta]"Let's go easy on this poor sap, after all she kindly used herself as Nightmare bait so Jin and I could get extra helpings of that gourmet meal."[/color] Who knew, after such a rude awakening, this newbie might even change her tune both literally and figuratively before long. Plus, it would be a bad idea to piss off Aegis, even worse than for a light girl to piss off Touka, which was saying something. Phantasmagoria could only hope for Team Knightfall that their shopping spree would go as planned.
