[color=PeachPuff]“No harem for me, thanks.”[/color]

[color=888888]— Su Fang[/color][/center]

[sub][@ERode][/sub]

Everything had Su so flustered that she nearly forgot about her walkie-talkie stone thing. But as soon as she put it to her ear, Helga had already arrived. 

[color=PeachPuff]“Oh, um, you found me.”[/color]

Su looked at the group of girls that were following Helga. It was probably nothing but Su couldn’t help but feel cheated. She was usually fine with Helga being around other girls, but she had to be [i]really[/i] partying to have a group this big following her. If she had just been casually talking with a few of them, she’d be in Su’s position. Su was even gifted with magical charisma. Helga shouldn’t have had time to get so many at once. She wasn’t [i]jealous[/i] or anything, but she had to question Helga’s loyalty to their relationship if she was going to do things like this. That music was really starting to grade on her eardrums. 

Su pointed towards the back rooms. [color=PeachPuff]“I saw Mika go that way, Rina followed her.”[/color] She gave Helga a nod. [color=PeachPuff]“I’ll be right behind you.”[/color] Once Helga and crew left, Su turned her attention back to Lei Zi.

Perhaps Su couldn’t get a harem, but Su was never about going for quantity. Quality, on the other hand, was something Su enjoyed in excess. Over Su’s many memories gathered from many lives, it was always quality that drove her on. And while there were a lot of people present in this rave, She felt Lei Zi was the clear superior choice out of everyone present. It was hard to beat a dutiful shrine maiden. She seemed to be a good sort, and was just as disgusted with Penrose as Su was. There was the matter of being married, but that didn’t bother Su much. If that was from Lei Zi’s old life, then she likely hasn’t been in contact with her old spouse for a long time. Su had been a [i]concubine[/i] in one of her previous lives, and was use to having competition. She knew it was just a matter of time before the loneliness got to her. It wasn’t like she needed a serious relationship to show Helga what she was capable of. 

Su placed a hand on Lei Zi’s shoulder and pointed at some incoming monster girls. Her dread wings sprung out of her back and thrust towards each incoming threat. It didn’t kill them, but it was enough to knock them down, aside from one who was swift enough to grab hold. But her wing just thrashed and slammed the girl into the wall, causing her to let go and writhe in pain. [color=PeachPuff]“I just remembered I could do that.”[/color] Su chuckled. Her wings fluttered in the air, like black ribbons following the current of a river. [color=PeachPuff]”Thank you for allowing my friends to leave. If you’d like to usher in some destruction, we could probably do that now.”[/color]

[color=888888]— Trixy[/color][/center]

[i][color=CCBFFF]"Dang it!"[/color][/i]

Despite everyone’s best efforts, it seemed Vi had escaped. It was a bitter sweet moment for Trixy. Putting down other magical girls was not something she enjoyed doing. Especially if they were cute. But if they were serial murderers, well, sometimes you needed to kill a spider to save a few butterflies. 

That was when Trixy got the message to retreat from Veronica.

[i][color=CCBFFF]"They arrived already? I only got off a single shot! Vi’s on the run and-"[/color][/i]

[i][color=#bd71e8]“Vi is small fry. Justine is still working for Father, and she converted a girl right in front of my eyes. For all we know, Vi could be the same way.”[/color][/i]

[i][color=CCBFFF]"Son of a!"[/color][/i] If there was one thing that boiled Tetrad’s beans more than someone who killed cute girls, it was someone who brainwashed them and used them to kill more cute girls. The idea of Justine converting Samantha, Elise, or Betty was just too sinister to think of. But that wasn’t her mission. She had to try and stop a war. [i][color=CCBFFF]"Joining up with Tetrad!"[/color][/i]

Fortunately, Trixy wasn’t too far away from Tetrad’s location. She shoved the door open and forced her way inside. Once she was out of the smoke, she ate her mask and stepped into the corner. [i][color=CCBFFF]"Ready for drop!"[/color][/i]

[i][color=#bd71e8]“Hmmm, do they even need you, I wonder?”[/color][/i]

Trixy looked to Tetrad, who just shrugged. It sounded like Veronica was divided on where to send her two agents. But the cradle was opening up under their feet. Wherever they ended up, they’d be ready to fight.

[color=CCBAAA]"I was ready to go out the cool way TYVM!"[/color]

[color=888888]— Dusty[/color][/center]

[sub][@ERode][@Flamelord][/sub]

All Dusty wanted to do was survive the night. Barring that, all dusty wanted to do was save someone. Now she had no idea where Shade was, and the girl she was trying to save was saving her instead. It was nice, but it did make Dusty feel a little useless. Having said that, Dusty would never complain about getting picked up by a cute girl. Even if it was a bit more literal than she would normally admit. 

[color=CCBAAA]"R-run everywhere? Eh, would it be better to follow a wall?"[/color] Dusty placed her fingers against the side of her head. [color=CCBAAA]"Oh crap! They’re here! We’re sealed in!"[/color] Dusty nibbled on her fingers. [color=CCBAAA]"They’re talking about alternate exits though. B-but I can’t see!"[/color] She looked to Liss’s other shoulder. [color=CCBAAA]"Old guy! You’ve got to have something to help us! Help uuuuuuuhuhuhuhuhuhuhhzzzz!"[/color] Dusty blubbered.
