Rose blinked in confusion as she looked around, Clair was definitely right. Seems like everyone had decided to go deal with that boring old mystery or whatever, leaving just Clair and Rose to rob the theatre for it's treasures!

[color=crimson]"I mean yeah sure, I guess this is finding research material. It's like uh... archaeology! Which is just stealing from dead people!"[/color] An interesting take on the profession of learning about the past, one that Rose would be happy to enter into a dialogue about were it not for the sudden intrusion of one very long boy. Rose yelped as the duo was thrown across the room, having just barely held onto Clair's cloak in her fairy form. But the assault didn't stop there! Thankfully Clair was ready for the next strike, which gave Rose her own opportunity to recover.

The fairy pirate scrunches up her face in cute frustration as Clair attacks, this was supposed to be a fun stealing things adventure! She already had her big fight adventure last world! [color=crimson]"Alright then, let's do this fast so we can get back to stealing- I mean archaeology!"[/color] She hops from the thief's shoulder and transforms in midair to her regular form in a burst of smoke, landing on the ground in a stylish crouch as she draws her dagger and tosses it directly at the snake's eye. It wouldn't hit, but it was all she needed to buy enough time for her next transformation! [color=red]"Transform! Form of... person with a really big shield and a sword!"[/color] The smoke clears, and [url=https://img2.gelbooru.com/samples/67/45/sample_6745f409c3e3289561249e98b0e993c4.jpg]the hero is revealed![/url]

[color=FF7F7F]"Oh man, this feels so gross! I'm made of... of maggots!"[/color] Rose groans in disgust as she raises her shield for the next attack, face scrunched up as she squirms in her skin and steps in front of Clair. [color=FF7F7F]"You stay on the offense and I'll defend. Need to figure out what this card can do for myself, aside from have a big sword and shield."[/color]

And with Ami and Akiko? Well, things had gotten a little chaotic in the throne room. Just a tad really. Little Red seemed scared out of her fucking mind by something, Big Blue showed up out of nowhere, and now Haughty Yellow was demanding they all start fighting to see who the real thief was. That's a full color spectrum of chaos right there! Honestly Ami was about ready to just start swinging and see who stole what, thankfully their resident bard was ready to step in and talk things out as bards are wont to do. [color=fc9a04]"Yeah, my face is pretty friendly I guess. For now anyways, we'll see how I'm feeling in about five minutes after something goes tits up inevitably."[/color] Ami planted her sword into the ground and leaned against it, yawning in a bored manner as she let Akiko do her work. 

And her solution was... threats of violence! [color=fc9a04]"Maaaaaan, if I knew you were just gonna threaten to dismember her I would've just skipped the threats and done it myself."[/color] Ami complained in the background, eyes lilting towards Castle unconsciously as she felt... something. She wasn't looking at the apparition by any means, or at least her eyes weren't focused on it, but she could feel some kind of threat coming from that direction.
