It was a literal one, one that intensified as it drew closer and closer to Evira. Deafened as she had been by the intensity of her own rave, the Sound girl misattributed the rumbling of a car engine to the rumbling of thunder, misattributed the light of fog lights to the light of freedom and survival. And, to be fair, Myria had been having a pretty piss poor night as well, and thought that she'd at least speed down these empty streets to blow off some steam on her way to pick up her colleague. As Evira launched herself into the open, rain-suffused air, a Bentley filled her vision, and the last thing she saw was an equally shocked little girl behind the wheel before the two forces collided. With the sound of gut-wrenching steel smashing into superhumanly strong bones, Evira was launched back into the darkness, tumbling over seven times, before getting tangled up in her own filament traps, right in front of Eliza. [b]"FUCK,"[/b] Myria screamed, slamming her hands against the car horn. [b]"That wasn't my fault, right? Roach just leapt out from nowhere!"[/b] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/JoD9XRG.png[/img] [sub][@Ariamis][/sub][/center] A world of dumpsters coated in iridescent colors, like gasoline spilled unto puddles. Strange, plump creatures, tendrils poking out of their round bodies, floated through the air, catch and swallowing debris, while the sky above was empty, a flat magenta that looked both endless and suffocating. Smoke still streamed from Askefye’s form as she popped into existence, the momentum of her diving tackle sending the two of them into one of the dumpsters. It crumpled like a pillow, before bouncing them off. For a moment, they laid there, both unmoving. Then, Askefye promptly pushed herself away from Vivi. Her nose hurt. Her nose hurt a lot! It was actually bleeding from hitting the washboard’s chest! Sniffing up the blood that leaked out, the fire spirit made a stink-face at blue-washboard. [b]“Damnit,”[/b] she spat, dark flames licking up her hair, [b]“You’re bleeding everywhere now and that’s gross!”[/b] Couldn’t fight her now, that’s for sure, and there was like, basically a billion percent chance that she was going to be all emo and shit too, cause everyone on her team was dead meat. Standing up abruptly, her form shifting from that gaseous monstrosity to her more human, if not still half-beast, form, Askefye wiped at her bloodied nose with her sleeve again. [b]“And I saved you because…”[/b] Her face twitched, one eye narrowing as she racked her brain over it a couple of times. Smoke began to pour out from her ears, before she shook her head rapidly, thrice. [b]“Don’t get the wrong idea!”[/b] The monster girl exclaimed. [b]“I just hate people who end things super fast and like, get involved in ways that obviously they shouldn’t! It’s like, you know those people who see a buncha people have fun, so then they join in, but obviously no one likes playing with them because they’re way too strong and joining any one side would cause everything to be imbalanced, but then they do it anyways because they’re selfish little shits who don’t care about anything but showing off themselves to the rest of the world like a couple of exhibitionists tanning their anuses? It’s like that! That’s what happened there, and that sucked the fun outta everything!”[/b] She nodded again, before jabbing a finger at Vivi. [b]“It’s just exactly like that, so don’t get the wrong idea and also I know a good locust restaurant around the area but it’s always too expensive so you’re going to pay for my dinner!”[/b] Askefye kicked the blue-stone ground with a vengeance, a plume of fire bursting out from the impact and casting a burning light over everything. [b]"FUCK!"[/b]
