[color=gold]"Well, this isn't theft. We are looking for research material,"[/color] Clair said to Rose as they looked around. [color=gold]"Anyway, this is stuff is a little too big to take right now, maybe we should look around the backstage, I guess? Waa—!"[/color] she added. However, before they could act on that idea, a huge thing lunged on them.

[color=gold]"What in the world?"[/color] Clair said as she recovered from the impact, after being launched halfway across the room. [color=gold]"Woah, where did this thing come from—"[/color] She tried to say as she dodged out of the way of the follow-up attack.

A dodge roll later, Clair was back to her feet. She twirled her blade shooting a round of star shots at the snake's eyes. [color=gold]"That's a good time to use any cool tricks you might have up your sleeve, Cap,"[/color] she said to Rose as she tried to dance around the snake, looking for a way out.

Victoire swore she would burst a vein if she wasn't dead already. The more time passed, the more pests gathered before her. Before she could even finish dealing with Riku three others burst into her throne room. How that even made sense was beyond her since the rest of their group was less than halfway through the castle while her chambers were located on the highest possible spire.

Nevertheless, now wasn't the time to dwell on details. In fact, Victoire thought that she might as well turn this into an opportunity to get some quality entertainment.

[color=crimson]"Well well, seems like your work has been made easier, Miss Exorcist,"[/color] Victoire said as a fanged grin came to her face. [color=crimson]"In fact, it seems like all of you are after the same thing. If that's the case, why don't you fight between yourselves and find out who's the real thief here, huh? I don't care who wins as long as I recover what rightfully belongs to me."[/color]

[color=crimson]"Go on, don't hold yourselves back on my account,"[/color] she said as she practically sicced the girls on one another, not even bothering to address the barrage of questions thrown at her just a moment ago.
