Gasping in terror, the masked girl prepared another spell and instinctively conjured several defensive tentacles, even as Ronin got ready to leap to her aid, but none of this would ultimately prove necessary, as the antlered monstrosity suddenly fell to the ground, a burning weapon impaling its heart. This attack heralded the arrival of an oddly cheerful girl, who quickly took an interest in Connie, much to the timid girl’s dismay. Connie couldn’t help but cringe slightly as the new arrival approached her, asking if she’d like to play some games. [color=DarkOrchid]“O-Oh, u-umm, h-hello…”[/color] Connie replied hesitantly, her trembling fingers nervously playing with her hair. While the girl certainly [i]seemed[/i] friendly enough, and indeed had a bubbly demeanor similar to MDP, Connie couldn’t help but feel that there was still something very… [i]off[/i] about her… For all her overwhelming hyperactivity and frequent disregard for personal space, MDP was still a gentle and unthreatening soul. This girl, on the other hand, was unnervingly creepy, and Connie couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine as the girl continued to babble, now inquiring about her big sister. [color=DarkOrchid]“Y-Your s-sister?”[/color] Connie repeated with a frown. However, before the awkward conversation could go any further, Miko mercifully turned the new girl’s attention to herself, by telling the strange blonde that her sister was indeed in Penrose, and that she should continue looking for her, rather than remain here. [color=SpringGreen]“That sounds like a most prudent course of action,”[/color] Gaia agreed with a serene smile as she approached the group, placing a reassuring hand on Connie’s shoulder as she did so. The verdant maiden had also conjured Nature’s Blossom, but while the enchanted staff indeed served as a suitable guard against any potential threat the newcomer might pose, it had the added benefit of supporting the botanical beauty’s trembling legs, which had become significantly weakened after expending such a vast quantity of mana on the fire flowers. Thankfully, her emerald tresses shielded any signs of her weakened state from all but Connie, and her timid friend was far too focused on the unhinged-looking blonde to notice. [color=SpringGreen]“I wish you the best of luck in your search,”[/color] she bid the bizarre newcomer, positioning her staff so that it was between the blonde and Connie. [color=SpringGreen]“Who is to say? Perhaps morning’s light shall find the two of you happily reunited?”[/color] Hopefully, Gaia wouldn’t need to fight the deranged girl, but if it came to that, she was fully prepared to defend Connie to her last breath… [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/udsgqgr.png[/img][/center] [center][hider=MDP Stats] [center][color=DeepPink][h2]Magical Dream Princess[/h2][/color] 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 4 | 9 | 4 | 24 | 9 Oddball: Sweet Dreams | Barrage Wealth and Resources (not while tf'd) | Enhanced Weapon | Power Artifact | Dual Weapon | Natural Aging | Money | Intuition Focused | Mental Link | Hidden Death | Mana Font | Mystic Might Alien Mind | Formless | Rival Force | Clueless [/center] [/hider][/center] [center][@Shifter_Master][@twave][/center] [color=DeepPink]“Thankie wankies, Penny Wenny~!”[/color] MDP told her girlfriend as the Mechanical Monarch swiftly dispatched the incapacitated wendigos she’d brought along with her. A moment later, an exuberant smile spread across the Princess of Dreams’s face as the new girl said she’d be happy to become friends with her. [color=DeepPink]“Yaaaay~! Magical Dream Princess made a new friendy wendy today~! (giggle!)”[/color] the whimsical girl cheered, before wrapping her new friend up in a big hug. [color=DeepPink]“Like, it’s super duper nicey wicey to meet you, too, Ka’ris Wa’ris~! (giggle!)”[/color] she added cheerfully. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess thinky winkies your namey wamey is, like, super duper adorable worable~! (giggle!)”[/color] It was then that the sound of many flapping wings drew the trio’s attention skyward, where a sizable flock of sinister-looking crows was making their way towards the industrial district. [color=DeepPink]“Golly wolly… There’re, like, sooo many birdy wirdies up theresie…”[/color] MDP observed as she watched the flock’s swift passage towards the far horizon. [color=DeepPink]“They don’t look particularly wicularly friendly wendly, though…”[/color] she added with a frown. A moment later, she was startled by an alarmed exclamation from Penny. Before she could ask for more details, or even fully realize what was happening, her robotic girlfriend was already racing down the street, propelled by glowing hover thrusters. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess wants to helpy welpy too!”[/color] the whimsical girl called, even as her trio of plush hearts morphed and merged into another rainicorn pegasus that she quickly mounted. [color=DeepPink]“Come on, Ka’ris Wa’ris!”[/color] she instructed, as she grabbed the floating girl and pulled her along. [color=DeepPink][i]Like, Penny Wenny seems super duper worried…[/i][/color] MDP thought with a frown as her multicolored mount shot off after the Mechanical Monarch. [color=DeepPink][i]But, like, with Penny Wenny and Magical Dream Princess working together wether, everythingie wingie will, like, totally wotally turn out okie dokie~![/i][/color] she reassured herself as a big smile returned to her cute face. [color=DeepPink]“Like, hold on super duper tight, Ka’ris Wa’ris~!”[/color] MDP advised. [color=DeepPink]“Mister wister rainicorn wainicorn is gonna go, like, super duper mega wega fasty wasty nowie~!”[/color] No sooner had she given her warning, then the prismatic pegasus shot forward like a lighting bolt, causing the world around them to disappear into a featureless blur. [color=DeepPink]“Weeeee~! (giggle!)”[/color]
