Mayra looked astonished for a second, where the dragon-girl was sitting crouched on the railing, then she laughed. [color=fc6828]‘You fought yourself into the mansion to talk to me!? I like your guts! Guys, this one’s mine! Don’t shoot her! We gonna talk~!’[/color] Still, during the time that Mayra shouted this, Tenebra managed to throw a portal open and everyone was leaving, FanFan very specifically trying to pick up the same MDP that Mayra was focused on. Mayra reached out a desperate hand. [color=fc6828]‘Wait, don’t go-!’[/color] [color=DeepPink]“Oh, goody woodie~!”[/color] MDP cheered upon getting confirmation on the draconic monster girl’s identity. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess was super duper hoping that’s who you were~! (giggle!)”[/color] Unfortunately, before MDP could say anything further, FanFan scooped her up and carried her towards a massive rift in the dimensional fabric. However, while FanFan may have certainly believed that she was carrying MDP with her through Tenebra’s rift, if she looked closely at what she was holding, the Ascendancy girl would discover a body pillow with an image of MDP printed on it, a pillow that would wink out of existence the moment Leena activated her Null Field. Meanwhile, MDP herself was still in the foyer, giggling at Mayra’s alarmed reaction to FanFan apparently whisking her away. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess is right here, silly willy~! (giggle!) Don’t worry, she’s not going anywheresie, cause she’s got a super duper important wortant chatty watty she wants to have with you~!”(giggle!)[/color] Mayra blinked as MDP showed that she hadn’t gone anywhere, and Mayra laughed again. [color=fc6828]‘You’re a tricky one, ain’t ya?’[/color] she said, and then jumped, making a summersault before landing on the floor of the foyer, bending her knees before MDP. [color=fc6828]‘So, what’ya wanna talk about?’[/color] she asked, but her companion (who just used 21 Agi and a non-corporeal body to dodge a seed attack but couldn’t pursue as a result) had a different opinion. [color=c1eb9b]‘… If you’re going to have a chat, do it elsewhere,’[/color] an annoyed Lea who’d just watched her prey get away through a portal told them pretty sternly, and MDP was probably getting not-too-favourable looks from other directions, too, albeit a couple curious ones as well. [color=fc6828]‘Right, sure, over here!’[/color] Mayra called, and could lead them to a room two doors east of here that was the common room, which looked like the average break area of an office except placed in a gothic mansion, tables and chairs, couches and a refrigerator, a TV and a few other things that don’t belong in an ancient mansion for the inhabitants to take it easy… if MDP followed there, of course. Relocation was sort-of-important so the rest of the forces could make tactical conversation without a possible enemy there. Mayra was the one of them that was most capable of taking care of herself, anyway. [color=DeepPink]“Okie dokie~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP acknowledged with a happy smile, as she skipped after Mayra into the common room. [color=DeepPink]“Like, if Magical Dream Princess is being perfectly werfectly honest, she kinda winda wanted to have this conversation wasion in private wivate anywaysie~”[/color] Taking a deep breath, and trying her best to remember what she wanted to say (and what she [i]didn’t[/i] want to say), MDP began to explain the reason she wanted to have this chat. [color=DeepPink]“So, like, a super duper secret wecret placey wacey that belongs to Magical Dream Princess’s most favorite wavorite person worson in the whole wide worldsie got all trashy washied a few days ago, and Magical Dream Princess was told that you were the meanie weanie responsible wonsible.”[/color] Putting her hands on her hips, she glared indignantly at the draconic monster girl. Or, at least she tried to… It probably looked more adorable than anything even remotely intimidating. Then her eyes softened a bit, her gaze now holding a mixture of sadness and confusion, rather than anger. [color=DeepPink]“So, like, she just wants to know why Mayra Wayra did it…”[/color] MDP added in a slightly plaintive voice. Mayra looked around the room a bit as she listened to MDP, looking incredibly not-bothered about what she was hearing. [color=fc6828]‘Oh, is this a revenge-story? I’m cool with that. Hey, can we bust up this room for the fun of it and then claim we had an epic battle? Or do you want to actually have an epic battle?’[/color] Mayra started, grinning a little, not necessarily entirely serious. [color=fc6828]‘Remind me a bit. What place was this? I don’t remember busting up anything that reminds me of you, heh. Did the place have unicorns? Were they tasty?’[/color] [color=DeepPink]“Battle wattle~?”[/color] MDP asked, tilting her head in slight confusion. [color=DeepPink]“Weeeell, Magical Dream Princess guesses we could do something like that later water, but, like, why would Mayra Wayra want to trashy washy [i]this[/i] placey wacey~? Oh~! And the placey wacey Mayra Wayra trashy washied didn’t have any unicorns, silly willy~! (giggle!) It looked kinda winda like a city wity, but it was just a fakey wakey one, and there were also some super duper cool robot thingie wingies there, too~! (giggle!) Does Mayra Wayra remember wember any of that~?”[/color] [color=fc6828]‘Why wouldn’t you!?’[/color] Mayra asked, excitedly. [color=fc6828]‘This place that everyone would usually get mad at me if I wrecked. We could [i]totally utterly tear it asunder[/i] and have a perfectly viable explanation why! Doesn’t that sound [i]exciting!?[/i]’[/color] Mayra said, eyes glimmering almost innocent-looking compared to the brutality she was suggesting. Anyways, then MDP went on to talk about cities and robots, and- [color=fc6828]‘OH, YEAH, THAT, THAT WAS AWESOME!!’[/color] Mayra shouted and looked super-excited. [color=fc6828]‘You should have seen it! One of the battle robots came overhead like [i]WEEEEEEE[/i], but I dodged aside like [i]WOOOOOO[/i], and then I shot it down like [i]PAM[/i], but then the elites surrounded me like-!’[/color] Mayra called as she waved around her hands letting them play the roles of herself and the robots as they depicted a probably inaccurate version of what had actually happened. [color=fc6828]‘Ah, those belonged to your friend. Um. I’m sorry. Uh, well, our information girls found the place and the robots, and I couldn’t contain myself and just HAD to go fight them! IT WAS AWESOME! THEY WERE AWESOME! Can I fight them again!? Will they be upgraded!? Even [i]harder[/i]!!?? Ooooh, please!’[/color] Mayra continued, emotions flaring a bit of everywhere. MDP’s initial look of plaintive confusion began to quickly change into one of overwhelming glee with each new word Mayra spoke, until the childish magical girl was smiling from ear to ear. [color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowie~! So, like, Mayra Wayra just wanted to play with the droney woneies because she thought it would be fun~?! Not because she hates Magical Dream Princess’s most special wecial person worsen~?! Yaaaay~!”[/color] she cheered happily, while clapping her hands and jumping up and down. [color=DeepPink]“That makes Magical Dream Princess sooo happy wappy~! (giggle!) And she’s also super duper happy wappy that Mayra Wayra had so much fun playing with the droney woneies, too~! (giggle!) Does Mayra Wayra wanna know a super duper secret wecret~?! Magical Dream Princess, like, totally helped designy winey those droney woney thingie wingies~! Oh~! And Mayra Wayra can totally wotally play with them again~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess made lots of upgradey wadeies to them, so they’re, like, super duper nasty wasty nowie~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess would just [i]wuv[/i] to see how Mayra Wayra handle wandles them~! And, like, Magical Dream Princess even has her [i]own[/i] super duper cool droney woney thingie too~! (giggle!)”[/color] she added, becoming even more excited, if that were possible. [color=DeepPink]“But it’s, like, a super duper surprisey wisey, so she’s, like, not gonna talky walky about it any moresie~! (giggle!)”[/color] Mayra looked a bit surprised at MDP even suspecting it could have been an act of hatred, though then she got excited again as… [color=fc6828]‘YOU designed them? Woah, you’re good!’[/color] And then that she could play with them again… [color=fc6828]‘For real? I’m invited? Invited to bust up your stuff!? OH, MAN, THANKS!’[/color] Mayra says so and then very suddenly attempted to possibly kind of harshly hug around MDP which probably was pretty uncomfortable because dragon-scales hard. [color=fc6828]‘You’re my bestest friend! Don’t you worry; I’ll bust up your droney woney thingies hard so you can get to upgrade them again!’[/color] Mayra told in sheer joy. [color=fc6828]‘Also, you are INCREDIBLY weird to listen to!’[/color] Mayra added with so honest a tone and wide a smile that it probably wasn’t meant as an insult. Even though the crushing embrace Mayra was giving her would be exceedingly uncomfortable for a normal person, it did nothing to dampen MDP’s spirits. She had made a new friend, and an exceptionally fun one at that! Giggling with glee, she hugged Mayra back just as tightly. [color=DeepPink]“Like, of coursey worsey you can~! (giggle!)”[/color] the cheerful magical girl told Mayra after the draconic monster girl had asked if MDP was sure she would allow her to fight the drones again. [color=DeepPink]“Like, you’re a super duper toughie wuffy, so Magical Dream Princess thinks you’d be the perfect werfect person worsen to testy westy the brand new droney woneies, and she’s, like, sooo super duper excited to see what you think of them~! (giggle!)”[/color] Then Mayra told her that she was her new best friend, causing the childish magical girl to squeal with delight. [color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowie~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess is making sooo many wany new friendsie wendsies today~! She really hopes she can remember wember all of their namey waymies…”[/color] she added, sounding a bit uncertain, before quickly brightening again. [color=DeepPink]“But, like, Mayra Wayra shouldn’t worry~! There’s, like, no way Magical Dream Princess could forget [i]your[/i] namey waymie~! (giggle!)”[/color] She paused a moment when Mayra told her how weird she was to listen too, as if not quite understanding what the monster girl meant. Then she giggled sweetly, as if an idea had suddenly occurred to her. [color=DeepPink]“Like, super duper thankie wankies~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess talky walkies the way she does because she thinks it makes her sound super duper cute and kawaii~! (giggle!) She really, really [i]wuvs[/i] that kinda winda stuffy wuffy, but, like, she has to keep it a super duper secret wecret when she’s her normal wormal selfie welfie… That’s why she wuvs being Magical Dream Princess~! (giggle!) When she’s a magical wagical girl, she can act all adorable worable and have so much fun, and nobodywody will ever know that Magical Dream Princess and her super duper boring woring and gloomy woomy normal selfie welfie are really the same person worson~! (giggle!)”[/color] [color=fc6828]‘Ooooh, man, I can’t wait to bust some more robots…!’[/color] Mayra said, excitedly. Then the part with the name, and Mayra released the hug to point to herself with a wide happy face. [color=fc6828]‘Yeah! I’m Mayra McCullough, the Flame Demon of Asengav, dragon turned Magical Girl! Speaking of, I don’t think I got your name? Just “Magical Dream Princess”, hah,’[/color] she then asked, looking to MDP. [color=fc6828]‘Huh. Right. Alright, then,’[/color] Mayra simply replied with kind of a happy shrug about how MDP acts. [color=fc6828]‘Right, listen, it seems there’s an anti-magic field about, and behind Freya I’m Mariette’s strongest physical girl, so I think they might [i]kinda[/i] need me, and I’m not about to turn down being the star of the show. Defending our mistress from crazy vampire and all that. What are you going to do?’[/color] Mayra asked, looking curious. [color=DeepPink]“Yep yep~!”[/color] MDP confirmed when Mayra asked about her name. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess is Magical Dream Princess~! (giggle!)”[/color] When the subject of what she was planning to do next came up, the cheerful magical girl seemed to get even more excited. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess is gonna do what she came here for~! (giggle!) She’s gonna help Samurai-chan save Mariettey Wetty, and the rest of you girls, from some super duper meanie weanie heads~!”[/color] [color=fc6828]‘Alright, then!’[/color] Guess Mayra just had to show up to the high-tech facility and ask for the magical princess to find her. She could work with that! Okay, and now the girl was going to- [color=fc6828]‘Huh?’[/color] Mayra looked a bit confused. But, uh… … … Possibilities arose in Mayra’s mind. Possibilities of why exactly someone would be joining an attack on Mariette’s mansion to “save” the girls within. Just as a thought occurred to her, a sad uninvited [color=2E2C2C][sub][sub][sub]mind-bent[/sub][/sub][/sub][/color] thought showed up alongside it that she- - [color=2E2C2C]Nope.[/color] - [color=2E2C2C]You know what?[/color] - [color=2E2C2C]That’s no fun.[/color] Mayra grabbed MDP’s arm in a tight grip and grinned. [color=fc6828]‘Let’s go.’[/color] [color=DeepPink]“Huh~?”[/color] MDP wondered with a slightly confused smile. [color=fc6828]‘Let’s go save Mariette!’[/color] she called so happily, before pulling on MDP to start running with her already! [color=2E2C2C][i]The less I know, the better~![/i][/color] [color=DeepPink]“Okie dokie~! (giggle!)”[/color] This was going to be so much fun!
