Oh. The time had come. Ronin smirked, despite feeling afraid. She didn't feel the slightest ready for this, but it was now or never. First things first. [@BrokenPromise] [color=9b83de][i]Veronica. The time has come. Justine is summoning me.[/i][/color] She then maneuvered her phone. She had a list of individuals to contact. To Su… [color=9b83de]‘Hey, Su. The summon for Justine's attack on Mariette just arrived. The one where I’ve been forcibly recruited by Justine on her mission to kill Mariette but I’m actually trying to save Mariette from her mind-bending and such. Did you want to help?’[/color] To Lily… [color=9b83de]‘Hey, Lily! I’ve got a bit of a situation on my hands. I've been recruited by Justine to attack Mariette's home. But, I'm actually going there to try to save those Justine attacks. Mariette and her companions have been mind-bent, after all, they don't know they're not following Asengav willingly. I've got somewhere I can take them, if I just can get to them first. Going to be very dangerous, but I'm going to try. Would you like to help?’[/color] Ronin got a fast, but really confusing response to. “Will get to the bottom of this”? She was going to be involved? … How? [color=9b83de]‘Alright, I’ll see you later, then!’[/color] Ronin responded, still confused. [@Shifter_Master] To Penny… [color=9b83de]‘Heey, Penny! I heard a bunch of stuff about you since last time. Like, you’re not two anymore, and you’re a big deal, huh? I bet you’re going to be busy with a bunch of things. Regardless, I’d like to tell you. Justine von Visceral has given her summons. She’s going to attack Mariette Pedersen inside her Interdimensional Home, and I’ve been forcibly recruited to help her. I’m going along with it, because I want to save Mariette and her companions. See, Mariette and co are mind-bent and don’t know they’re following Asengav unwillingly. So, I’m joining Justine’s attack on Mariette to save Mariette. It’s going to be really dangerous. Um, any way I could have some kind of help, or advice, or?’[/color] After that, Ronin considered Sakura, Mia and Connie. They were new friends, who she hadn't really had a proper heart-to-heart with yet, it didn't feel like she was fair involving them. … But eventually she opted to try, she was desperate, after all. In addition, they might get mad if she didn’t even give them the choice. Then, uh. There was this girl she’d been told about by Amanda. She hadn’t even met her. Well. Perhaps she’d like to hand over the message for her? [@Majoras End] [color=9b83de]‘Hey, Amanda! Would you like to pass on this message to that magical dream princess, for me? It concerns Justine and the help I wanted us to get, hah,’[/color] Ronin asked, because who even knows. Anyways. Some messages to prepare. [@AtomicNut] [color=9b83de]‘Hey, sensei! I might have found myself in a spot of trouble.’[/color] To Sakura. [@Ponn] [color=9b83de]‘Hey Connie! Sorry about this when we’ve just gotten to know one another, but there’s a situation going down now that I’d like you and Mia to know about.’[/color] To Connie. [hider=If she has a Mia number][color=9b83de]‘Hey Mia! How big are you and Connie on helping girls in danger while putting yourself in considerable danger? Asking for no real reason. Haha, no, that’s not true. Actually…’[/color] One to each. That’s more fair. [/hider] Finally to this girl she’d never even met… [color=9b83de]‘Hey, Magical Dream Princess! I'm Ronin, Magical Samurai Girl! We've never met, but regardless, I'd like to ask to ask if you'd like to help save some people?’[/color] To those who hadn't been around at that time, the message followed like this. [color=9b83de]‘Before you were around, there was a vampire that declared war on Penrose. She was trying to create a world without love or something like that, and quite a few girls died. A bunch of girls from Penrose banded together to assail her castle, among which was Beacon, Penny, some independants and another Horror girl called Mariette. Mariette had previously worked with Justine and was betrayed. The group managed to defeat Justine, made her fall back somewhere and peace returned to Penrose.’[/color] [color=9b83de]‘However, Justine’s back. She’s recruited girls to help her send an attack at Mariette’s Interdimensional Home, as vengeance for her guiding the inhabitants of Penrose to her palace. I’ve been recruited. However, I’m not going with the attack to destroy Mariette. See, I happen to know that Mariette and her crew are mind-bent, they do not follow their Horror patron out of their own free will. I’m coming with Justine because I wish to save Mariette from Justine… and maybe kidnap Mariette and Eli so we can remove their mind-bending.’[/color] [color=9b83de]‘It’s going to be exceedingly dangerous. For one, I can’t promise Justine won’t just see straight through me. For the second, I’ll be arriving with Justine’s invasion force, Mariette will most certainly use her entire arsenal to destroy the invaders, us among them. But, Justine’s companion is the only way in or out a stranger’s Interdimensional Home, mostly, so it’s my only chance. The chance of disastrous failure, death by hands of either Justine or Mariette, or just me being unable to help at all as one of them simply kills the other is, like, probably pretty high.’[/color] [color=9b83de]‘So, my question is simply, would you like to help? Do you have any questions?’[/color] Yupp. That’ll do. If any of them wanted to help as well, she’d give them a gathering point close to the underground garage where Justine wanted them to meet. [@twave] Finally, to Janet and Jenna… [color=9b83de]‘Justine’s summons to attack Mariette just came. It’s going down today.’[/color] Yupp. That’s all they needed to know. Hilde had specifically said she didn’t want to get involved, so no message to her.
