There was the Beacon contingent, just as Ronin had told them, contrasted by a group of shady-looking men in suits. Then, there was the grinning young lady seated at the far end of the table… This was obviously Justine, and she seemed to have other allies waiting in a shadowy veil behind her. [i]That[/i] certainly wasn’t suspicious… After Ronin had introduced herself, Gaia led the others in doing likewise. [color=SpringGreen]“Greetings to all. I am Gaia, Daughter of Mother Earth,”[/color] she told the gathering in a serene voice. [color=SpringGreen]“It is my great pleasure to make your acquaintance.”[/color] [color=DarkOrchid]“H-Hello, I-I’m C-Connie…”[/color] the masked girl stuttered softly, while nervously playing with her hair. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-It’s v-very n-nice t-to m-meet y-you a-all…”[/color] [color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowies~! (giggle!)”[/color] Magical Dream Princess exclaimed upon seeing just how large the gathering was. [color=DeepPink]“There’s, like, sooo many people weple here~! (giggle!) And, like, Magical Dream Princess can make friendy wendies with [i]all[/i] of them~! (giggle!) Oh~! But, like, firsty worsty she should, like, totally wotally introduce herself~! (giggle!) Tada~! She’s Super Cute Pretty Pretty Magical Dream Princess, but, you can, like, just call her Magical Dream Princess for short, or even just MDP~! (giggle!) That’s, like, a super duper cute nicknamey her friendy wendy Katie Watie came up with, and Magical Dream Princess just wuvs it to pieces~! (giggle!) It’s, like, so super duper nice to meet you girls~! (giggle!) And [i]boys~[/i]”[/color] she added, while getting an even more dreamy look in her eyes than usual. After that, Gaia guided Connie and MDP to some chairs on the side of the table farthest from Justine. As the meeting commenced, Gaia calmly observed the proceedings, taking note that the dark-haired girl in the fancy dress seemed to be the leader of the Beacon forces. She also would occasionally spare a glance at Connie to see how her timid friend was holding up. For her part, Connie sat in nervous silence, listening to the others speak, but not understanding very much. She took some small comfort in the fact that Gaia was giving her hand a gentle squeeze under the table, but that comfort quickly disappeared when a frightening voice sounded in her mind. It was the voice of her Patron. [color=Purple][i]That girl…[/i][/color] the voice whispered, sounding both curious and disdainful. [color=Purple][i]Her magic is… [b]familiar…[/b] Be wary of her, Empress,[/i][/color] The Lord of Nightmares advised. [color=Purple][i]Be ever on your guard…[/i][/color] As for the girl in question, well… One would ordinarily assume that someone as hyperactive as MDP would be talking a mile a minute, getting to know everyone, and commenting on every little thing that transpired over the course of the meeting, but strangely enough, that didn’t happen. Instead, she simply sat in her seat, glancing around the room with a big smile on her face and a look of childish wonderment in her eyes. She occasionally fidgeted in her seat, but she didn’t say a single word. This was partly because she was doing everything in her power to keep quiet like Gaia had asked her, but the main reason was because she was having a very interesting mental conversation with her Patron… [color=Pink][i]Oh, goodness me! See that girl next to you, sweetie?[/i][/color] The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams inquired, her voice filled with concern. [color=Pink][i]That girl is a servant of the Lord of Nightmares, you know, that super duper meanie weanie who imprisoned me in that book! She’s very dangerous! You’ll have to stop her before she does something horrible![/i][/color] [color=DeepPink][i]Golly wolly! For realsie?! B-But, like, Connie Wonnie is, like, a super duper sweetie weetie pie! Like, Magical Dream Princess can’t believe she would ever do any nasty wasty thingie wingies! Oh! But, like, Magical Dream Princess has an ideasie~! Like, what if that meanie weanie nightmare persony worsony was forcing poor Connie Wonnie to do all those nasty wasty thingie wingies for him? Like, she could be just like those poor girls Magical Dream Princess is helping Samurai-chan rescue![/i][/color] [color=Pink][i]Gosh, sweetie, you could be right! In that case, you should do everything you can to free her from that meanie and help her have sweet dreams again~! Can you do that for me, sweetie~?[/i][/color] [color=DeepPink][i]Like, of coursey worsey she can~! Magical Dream Princess just [b]wuvs[/b] helping her friendy wendies, and Connie Wonnie might wear a creepy weepy masky wasky, but, she’s, like, a total wotal sweetheart, and Magical Dream Princess just wuvs her soooo much~![/i][/color] MDP giggled softly as she looked at the trembling girl sitting next to her. She was just so adorable with her eagerness to make new friends, despite her shyness. And now came the knowledge that the girl suffered under such a horrible Patron… MDP just wanted to give her the biggest hug, but she knew this wasn’t the time for such things and so forced herself to hold off. [color=DeepPink][i]Don’t you worry, Connie Wonnie, Magical Dream Princess is, like, totally gonna save you from that meanie weanie head and give you sweet dreamy weamies again~! That’s, like, her super duper most special wecial pinky winky promise~![/i][/color]
