Also ignore my last post :3"[/color][/quote][/center] Silhouette couldn't see the point in making small talk at this time, but she did not ignore Tetrad because of this. She thought for a moment and seriously considered the question, even though it likely wasn't intended to be answered. [color=red]"I... didn't dislike the respite from this city, so I suppose it has been okay. Notwithstanding the Ascendancy intervention that is."[/color] Truth was, that was a mixed bag. Getting mixed up with them so early was a bit irksome, but that also meant potential conflicts she could enjoy. Thinking in this way was still very much foreign to her, but she could not deny herself any longer. Ninha and her, in a way, might not have been so different. She was just unfamiliar, whereas Sil imagined that the girl was never in denial. How she envied the girl if that were the case. The others seemed to have ascertained the Overcity in a relatively short amount of time, which was a pleasant surprise to Sil. She wasn't partial to waiting around. But Mika was asking a bit much of her. [color=red]"You want me to get on that?"[/color] Silhouette asked, eying the cloud skeptically. She was obviously doubtful the thing was safe, but it wasn't like she had any transport of her own, unfortunately. She sighed, resigning herself to her fate, but not before asking them to wait for a second while she approached a tree and, brandishing her blade, carved a small chunk out of it, which she then stashed in her coat. It was to be her insurance in case of an emergency. Hopping onto the potential death trap, Sil spoke. [color=red]"If we're all ready, then lets go."[/color] she urged. Presumably, Nimbus did indeed take off. This being the case, Samantha kept one hand over her breast where the piece of wood was resting. She intended to use it the moment she needed to and no later. Katarina voicing her inexperience with this area prompted Silhouette to respond. [color=red]"I suggest not coming here for a vacation, unlike someone else. It is most certainly a dang..er..ous...?"[/color] she trailed off as she slowly eyed the girl staring at her. Sam slightly tilted her head, unsure why she was getting such treatment from Su. It was making her feel uncomfortable. And wasn't that rude? What kind of person just stares at someone like that? Only a creep or something of that nature. Oblivious to the irony of her having such a thought, Sil opted to take action. [color=red]"Su?"[/color] she addressed the girl by name unconsciously. [color=red]"If you could stop violating me with your eyes and ask whatever it is you want to ask, I'd appreciate it."[/color] [center] [h1][color=F65772]H[/color] [i]i l a r i a[/i][/h1] [img]https://i.imgur.com/PiwtRDV.png[/img] [color=F65772]"Tigers are for nerds~!"[/color] [color=888888]— Hilaria[/color] [/center] How sweet it was for the girl to personally thank everyone. Wasn't she precious? But not entirely. That trick of hers was perhaps the least pleasant experience Hilaria had the misfortunate of having in a long while. If she thought about it, the only real damage she sustained that fight was friendly fire. Hilaria might have to discipline her if that happened again, which would be even less pleasant. [color=F65772]"Oh, Hilaria is glad to have been of some help~! You can call upon her whenever you need~!"[/color] she lied with the sweetest smile on her face. [color=F65772]"Mmm, but only if you don't cook her like that~"[/color] Saying such, she glanced back at the newcomer, whose tiger had, unfortunately, not turned into a tortoise. She thought he should prioritize fixing that. Maybe then she'd find him somewhat interesting, but for now she did not. Hilaria found herself paying less and less attention to the conversation involving him, and instead turned back to Mariette, who was making a break for it. [color=F65772]"Eh~ Leaving so soon~?"[/color] she asked the girl before she could disappear into the portal. Hilaria was mildly curious about the girl with a cute little doll. But if she was unwilling to talk, then that was fine, too. She could also strike up a conversation with the pirate, or just leave. [center] [h1][color=turquoise]E[/color] [i]m i l y[/i][/h1] [img]https://i.imgur.com/g7NL7MY.png[/img] [color=turquoise]"Pain, pain, go away."[/color] [color=888888]— Emily[/color] [/center] Emily frowned upon hearing Helga's reasoning. She did not owe Emily a single thing, as far as she was concerned. They were sisters, and so it was only expected that she would help one in need. Even if the pain was intense, a mauled arm was always preferable to a dead sister. And she imagined Lupa would not be particularly happy if she had killed someone in that state. As they entered the hotel, Emily took in her surroundings. She had not been to a place that bore any resemblance to this before. [color=turquoise]"How pretty!"[/color] she complimented, following the girl to the break room, wherein Lupa was set down and Helga had changed. Emily did not follow suit as she felt it was best to remain in her magical girl form until she was in better shape. Moments later, the two ghost girls arrived. Emily had a vague sense that she knew them from somewhere, and this was confirmed when Julia mentioned seeing her at the beach. There had been quite a few girls there, but Emily still felt a little ashamed she didn't properly recall the girls. They didn't seem to take it personally, so it must not have been as rude as she was imagining it was. [color=turquoise]"Oh, hello! I'm Emily."[/color] she introduced herself to the ghosts, doing her best to smile despite the pain she was in. She was nothing but eager to comply with Helga's instruction, and sat on the sofa as asked. As the girl explained the situation here and her worries, Emily frowned. [color=turquoise]"Su is a friend of yours?"[/color] she asked. [color=turquoise]"In that case, I do hope things turn out alright."[/color] she wished the girl luck. When all was said and done with the healing, Emily felt so much better she nearly jumped out of joy. [color=turquoise]"Thank you!"[/color] she told Helga, and then both of the ghosts. With the pain gone she could properly smile, which naturally the other girls got to witness. Being the stranger she was, Emily was quiet as the door opened. She felt a tinge of disappointment when Helga deflated after the guests turning out not to be Su, but otherwise did nothing.
