She wasn't going to question Klara's sudden change of behavior too much. She didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. She would rather deal with the hippos, try to finish this game, and then they could spend their time psychoanalyzing the alien. Guin chuckled slightly, thinking about how weird her life was. Maybe she should start a TikTok or whatever platform was the most popular thing at the moment. She didn't use social media as much as she had as a teen, where her primary objective had been catfishing John Oliver. [color=cc33ff]"Oi, everyone plug your ears! Neil, I guess, just chill?"[/color] Guin shouted, before trying to fire off a sonic pulse. Her suit gave her an error message, probably not unrelated to her helmet being ripped off and reattached. She made a mental note to go and look at the weapon systems more carefully once this was all over. Maybe it would make more sense to just move on and create the Mark 2, given all of the data F.R.I.D.A.Y. had to be collecting about the performance of the suit during this. She tried to send off the sonic pulse again, but the system crashed and Guin muttered a few choice swear words that would have made even Wolverine blush. [color=cc33ff]"Okay, third time's the charm - c'mon F.R.I.D.A.Y, show 'em what we got,"[/color] Guin commanded. This time, there was a loud high pitched whine. A few of the hippos twitched before collapsing, knocked unconscious by the pulse. The tech she used for that particular weapon wasn't that different from the one her father had once developed to cause short term paralysis - which the US Government declared to be illegal.

She even asked about her eye injury and he kept his mouth shut. There was no version of explaining to her what he had done exactly that would end well. He wasn't sure if she wouldn't resume attacking him or something if he fessed up to it. Maybe she would decide to use her sword to remove [i]his[/i] eye. He looked slightly to the side, before pretending to be incredibly concerned by the hippos. There was some rope nearby that he figured he might be able to wrangle into tying up the beasts using his telekinesis. He shot a glare at Guin as she did some sonic pulses. Luckily, his hearing aids were fine. He would have been incredibly angry if her recklessness caused him to not be able to hear for the rest of the day, especially with Carolina still being stuck inside of the Jungle. He tried to shoot a rope off at a hippo, but it fell lamely to the ground. He tried again and it was only on his third try that he managed to ensnare one, binding its legs so and mouth so it couldn't try to trample or eat any member of the X-Men. [hr] Runa did not notice Elizabeth's dislike of her. She was too focused on making their way to the center of the Jungle, in hopes of breaking Loki's spell. She took up a defensive stance as she heard rustling, her staff in one hand, her fingers outstretched in the other. Jaguars pounced from the clearing, one of them narrowly missing Carolina. [color=#a81a75]"Stay back,"[/color] she warned her companions. She twirled her staff as it unleashed a bright blast of dark energy, colliding with the jaguars and forcing them all back. [color=#a81a75]"These rabbits are mere babes, hardly able to walk or crawl,"[/color] she lied, ready to snap with her free hand.
