Welcome to the crew kid, we have lots of fun around here!"[/color] Rose called out as Akiko stabbed herself in the shoulder in the background, leaning against a table casually and watching the kid try to puzzle everything out amidst the chaos. The range of emotions crossing his face in the span of a minute, now that is some amusing shit. Nobody really gave him a good explanation, but he was smart enough to puzzle things out based on what little info he was given, good quality to have around here. Nobody ever told you shit flat out, everything was always wrapped in some kind of riddle or mystery. Meanwhile Ami had finally gotten a hold of Noire's card after she returned to it in a flash, a sigh of relief escaping her lips as she handed it off to Rose. That damn cat was never coming out again if they had anything to say about it. [color=FC9A04]"We're in a big ass tower in the sky kid, it's pretty easy shit."[/color] Ami called out to Thomas as she passed by him and slapped him on the back, straight and to the point as ever. [color=FC9A04]"Friendly word of advice, look out for Kanbaru. You're the only guy around these parts and she's a real man eater if you know what I mean."[/color] She continued as she walked away, shoving her hands in her pockets and rolling her neck. Ominous stuff. But hey, who cares about that, time to get to the next floor! Rose followed behind the rest of the group as they stepped through the door and into the next world, these ruined halls familiar to some among their group but entirely new to both Rose and Ami! [color=FC9A04]"Tch, you have experience. No need to undersell yourself Kanbaru, aside from me I'd say you were the best when it came to slaughtering those nightmares."[/color] Ami chuckled as she stopped beside Kanbaru and looked to the distance, her ears twitching a little at some unknown noise. [color=FC9A04]"We've got company by the way."[/color] Company indeed, a group of demonic bushes shaped like dogs charged them from around the corner as everyone snapped into battle mode. Everyone aside from Rose, who looked strangely relaxed as she hung back and watched Thomas. She knew she could handle herself in a scrap when worst came to worst, but she was curious to see how the newbie would react to mortal peril. The captain leaned against the wall idly as she pulled out her favorite card, twirling on her finger before disappearing in a flash of light and reappearing on top of Thomas's shoulder. As a fair of course, she wasn't trying to crush the kid. [color=crimson]"Alright kid, time to prove your worth. Go fuck up those wolves and help me decide whether or not you're entertaining enough to keep around. Eyes forwards, sword out, stick em with the pointy end."[/color] Rose smiled as she patted the kid on the cheek, lazing about on his shoulder as if she was watching a movie. And Ami? Oh man, Ami was in her element. While Kanbaru dashed forwards with a water powered swing of her whale plush, Ami was the exact opposite as she raised her clenched fist in the air and encased it in a dark inferno. In that clenched fist manifested a great sword of flames, pointed downwards as she slammed it into the ground with malicious glee. [color=FC9A04]"Stay out of my fucking way if you don't wanna get burned!"[/color] Was the only warning the rest of the party would receive before several gouts of flame burst from the ground around Ami, grabbing a wolf that was pouncing towards her and instantly reducing it to ash. Looks like these puppies didn't know that fire beats grass.
