Rose lounged on top of a table lazily, smiling as she shuffled her cards about to admire their luster and sheen. Well mainly the one card with the fairy on it, she wasn't a big fan of this maggot woman on the other card. Not to say she wasn't happy with it's powers, it was very cool and all! Seemed to be the perfect card for tanking and frontlining in a fight... but did it have to be a maggot woman? Being a pirate meant that she was had to be cool with gross stuff sure, you can't be a prissy pirate when you're sailing the high seas... But maggots are just gross.

Best not to dwell on the Suparna card. Rose turned her attention to the Ryne card once more, smiling as she admired the pretty fairy. Now for most, this card would be objectively terrible considering she had traded in Solanne to get it. But Rose was a clever pirate, she recognized the capabilities of this card. It had no offensive capabilities whatsoever, but what it lacked in offense it more than made up for in raw utility. Incredibly fast, nearly indestructible, stealthy as all hell, this card had it all in terms of out of combat usage! 

[color=crimson]"Alright, let's do this!"[/color] Rose cried out as she sat up from the table, flourishing the Ryne card and focusing as she absorbed the fairy and became one with her. Ryne had little objection as she merged consciousness with the pirate, she was happy enough that she had actually been kept instead of getting immediately traded away! Just like Kanbaru, Rose too changed forms in the middle of the bar, yet her change went even deeper. Whereas Kanbaru merely changed outfits, got a little edgier, Rose had completely changed into [url=https://i.imgur.com/0OMscyP.jpg]a fairy[/url]! [color=crimson]"WOAH! This is like, so cool!"[/color] Rose flew around the bar to observe the world from this new point of view, briefly buzzing around Kanbaru as she suffered what must be the worst headache known to man. 

As Rose flew around the room, a face she didn't recognize showed up in the bar scored with myriad injuries. A lot of that going around today it seems. Regardless, it was only polite to go introduce herself to the new girl! Rose quickly fluttered over to Elijah with a smile, landing on her shoulder to sit down and talk. [color=crimson]"Wassup muscle lady! Woah, this fairy has a weird vocabulary."[/color] Rose shook her head and continued. [color=crimson]"Anyways, I'm Rose! Don't mind the fairy wings and stuff, just testing out a new card I just got!"[/color]

The energy in the room drained quickly when he was summoned, the [url=https://i.imgur.com/lvf0AWc.jpg]Prince of Greed[/url] making his debut in the Tower as Kanbaru's card released it's prisoner. A dark red light emanated from the card as the demon floated above it, slowly descending to the floor with something akin to grace. He straightened out his suit quietly, adjusting his tie as he looked around the room with a critical eye. [b][color=royalblue]"So this is the situation then... How infuriating."[/color][/b] Henry ground out as he glanced back at Kanbaru, appraising the owner of his card. He leaned in close to her, an aura of absolute death permeating him as he looked her in the eye. This was the absolute strongest the Nexus had to offer, a dimension of war and bloodshed that was perpetually reset to breed the greatest killers in the multiverse. This was the boy who had bathed in bloodshed and flourished from the second he was old enough to carry a blade.

Kanbaru of course knew none of this aside from what little she could glean from his memories, his mind an iron trap that let little of his past escape, but what she definitely would know is that this Demon wouldn't even hesitate to kill her should he find her lacking in any way. This staredown would last for a few moments, each one seeming to last an eternity as all eyes were on the duo. Then he sniffed her.

Whatever it was he seemed to smell was satisfactory as he leaned back and sighed, crossing his arms and speaking. [b][color=royalblue]"Alright then. From here on out, you are my servant, the arbiter of my will in this Tower. As such, I shall graciously allow you to use my powers. You may now thank me."[/color][/b] Henry nodded to himself and grinned, satisfied with his judgement. And just like that, the room was back to normal, almost as if Henry hadn't been debating whether or not to bathe the room in Kanbaru's organs.
