[color=slategray]"If this is all set up, then wouldn't it be best to split up, hm? I'm not good on a team anyways. You'd both get in the way."[/color] Mie hopped off the bed, tail swishing idly behind her as she looked over her options. Sounded like there was a commotion from further down the hallway. Quite close...if she were a responsible fox, she'd stay put and make sure Vertti didn't get in trouble. [color=slategray]"Don't worry. I'm just going to take a walk around the mansion."[/color] Mie dismissively waved a hand. [color=slategray]"I'm not worried about whatever it is going on out there."[/color] Playfully twirling a knife in her hand, Mie walked past Grisaia. [color=slategray]"...if you want my advice, you should stay close to Vertti."[/color] That was the last thing Mie said before she bolted, dashing out of the room and leaving the Rabbit to catch up if he could. If this was set up or planned, then there was a definite chance that purple skinned bastard was going to try something else. Could she stay and guard Vertti herself? Certainly. But at the same time, she had the seal. It was the safest with her, and safest not being anywhere near Vertti - where people least expected it. Did she care in the long run? Nah, not really. Mie bolted down the hallway, expertly dodging past the ensuing commotion on the stairs, just long enough to get a very good look at all involved. Those humans seemed to know what they were doing, but before they could say anything to her, Mie already bolted by with the quiet swiftness any trained Shinobi should. Something smelled off. It seemed like this area was fine for now, and while something was going on with the roof - whoever was up there must be having an extremely fun party - she wasn't concerned. What was it? What was causing her blessing to act up like this? An ever looking sense of threat. Whoever this vermin was in [i]her[/i] new mansion was going to get quite fun greeting party as soon as they showed themselves.

Each word of Fritzi's just rubbed her the wrong way. Equality? This wasn't how you got equality! Certainly sometimes a hero needed to use force to solve things, but this wasn't doing anything but needlessly hurting people! She wanted to say something. She wished she could say something. Say words, do anything to talk them down, but once again it seemed as though someone else made the decision to fight for her...and once again, it was Aerith trying to do something helpful. She couldn't say anything to her this time. [color=Chocolate]"Hmph."[/color] Chieko slowly removed the scarf from around her neck. Calm. She had to remain calm. [color=Chocolate]"Well said, my rival!"[/color] Ugh, she felt horrible. This wasn't how she wanted things to go, but she had no other choice. [color=Chocolate]"You talk of peace and equality, but this isn't how you achieve that! You'll just spread fear and hate, more of it!"[/color] The Japanese girl drew the heavy club at her side, gripping it tightly with a hand. [color=Chocolate]"You say heroes don't exist - but you're terribly wrong."[/color] With a flourish, she pointed it at Quill and Chiyo. [color=Chocolate]"With this cursed anger I feel at my own weakness, I shall become a hero. I will sever all reservations I have about hurting someone I consider a friend, I will pick up this mantle, and I will save [i]everyone[/i]."[/color] Her focus was solely on Quill and Chiyo. She'd disable and disarm them first. Whatever came next, she could decide then. [color=Chocolate][i]"Ulgoa."[/i][/color] A fireball formed in Chieko's left hand. Slowly it expanded, a solid wall of fire forming in the shape of a shield - until she slammed it right into Chiyo, hopefully stopping their advance right at the top of the stairs. She followed it up with a wide swing, aiming to knock Quill right over the head with it.
