Fight Pit

[/center]

Lady Vertti had a pretty good start. She was well above everyone else in the VIP area, and didn't have to cut past too many people. When Mie's expertly aimed bear mug collided with a drunk however, things became a bit more interesting. A fight broke out, and the only exit out of the place was starting to fill up with people. This slowed Vertti's progress to a crawl. She tried to find a way through, but it was impossible to get by because of how tightly packed together everyone was. There was no way through, and she panicked when she lost track of Mie.

It had been said that Vertti hadn't practiced her magic in a long time due to an accident. However, she had no problem using her magic here in the underworld. She rode a growing ice floe over the conflict and attempted to land on the other side. But she over extended herself and the ice floe broke, dropping her a few feet onto the ground.  She was relatively unscathed, but the heel on one of her shoes broke off. Vertti simply kicked them off of her feet and started to run down the tunnel leading outside. It was a straight shot, and there weren't any people in her way. However, she wasn't an Olympic runner, and would probably be in trouble if Mie had a quick way past that mob.

Clinic

[/center]

Elder Sibling listened to the very end of Aerith's speech before saying anything, which they did with an air of calm. [color=orange][b]”You're not  my type.”[/b][/color] They broke character with a chuckle. [color=orange][b]”Not only that, but your ability is inferior when compared to Hiro's, isn't it? And with all of you before me, why would I settle for you when the very best is right here?”[/b][/color] 

[color=slategray]”Damn it.”[/color] Hiro grit his teeth. [color=slategray]”Is this really it?”[/color]

Then all eyes turned to Chieko, who was pretty much tired of this shit. As soon as she started to walk towards the clinic, she found herself stumbling over something. When she looked to see what it was, she could see Quill had somehow made it outside, right in front of her legs, without Chieko knowing it.

[b]”Quill!”[/b] Donovan called out. [b]”The fire's out, but I can't hear ya! Say somethin'!”[/b] Apparently, Donovan didn't know it either.

[color=dab666]“Ugh.”[/color] Quill sat up. [color=dab666]“The candles must have started to melt and knocked me out.”[/color] She turned to Chieko and started pointing at her. [color=dab666]“Did you plan this? You were going to leave me to die in there after I decided to spare you! How [i]dare[/i] you!”[/color]

[color=orange][b]”Not quite.”[/b][/color] Elder Sibling appeared with Chiyo and dropped her beside Quill. [color=orange][b]”She was actually prepared to go save you. Chieko seemed disappointed that her friends tried to save her.”[/b][/color]

[color=dab666]“She wha-”[/color] Quill turned to Chieko again, just as angry as before. [color=dab666]“H-how dare you try to rescue me! It's humiliating enough to be tricked by a bunch of lowly humans! I wish Elder Sibling had let me burn!”[/color]

[color=orange][b]”Quill.”[/b][/color]

The oni rolled onto one knee and bowed before her superior. [color=dab666]“Elder Sibling, I am unsure the information you have on the clairvoyants is entirely accurate. Chieko was the one who came to the test, and while it never truly started, she did survive it. I have also not observed anything to lead me to believe Hiro has the superior ability.”[/color] Without lifting her head, she gestured towards Chieko. [color=dab666]“I also believe she will genuinely help us. Even if Hiro has the strongest ability, he does not look like he will ever be made to willingly help us.”[/color]

[color=orange][b]”Interesting, thank you Quill.”[/b][/color] Elder Sibling turned to Chieko. [color=orange][b]”Sounds like she's singing your good graces, and I don't think I've ever heard her say anything positive about a human. But were you being sincere?”[/b][/color] They looked at everyone else. [color=orange][b]”We'll have to round up all of your other friends. I'd rather not have all these clairvoyants running around. But they will not be harmed if you join us, I assure you.”[/b][/color]
