[color=fc6828]‘It’s all a matter of perspective~!’[/color] Mayra called back to Finn as they beat up a bunch of Wendigos. Because why not.

[color=fc6828]‘HYAH! Take that!’[/color] Mayra shouted out as the burning smoldering corpses lay about her and her parner-in-fight for the battle. He called out about this having been awesome, and Mayra grinned. [color=fc6828]‘Hehe, that was pretty cool, yeah! Still, if you react like that to this fight, I wonder how you’d react to a bigger fight…’[/color] Mayra pondered with a smirk, because to her this was a decently small battle. It was just against a bunch of the same monster over and over. The world can do better than that!

Then the Queen of Penrose strode in. Mayra’s eyes widened a bit looking at her.

[color=fc6828]‘Oooh, you. I want to fight you someday,’[/color] Mayra stated simply, before turning to look at Finn as he read the note out loud. When he asked his question, Mayra’s hand shot into the sky.

[color=fc6828]‘Me, memememe! Well, kinda me! I’ve seen their stuff before. Looked like some magic-machine-things I’ve seen in a dimension somewhere before. I don’t actually know who they are, but I know I’ve been in the dimension with such stuff before!’[/color] Mayra said rather loudly and excitedly. [color=fc6828]‘I bet Mariette knows!’[/color]

Mariette, in her basement but eavesdropping, momentarily grunted about Mayra unnecessarily drawing a connection between her and the mysterious attackers. She decided to open her mouth.

[color=077ae6]‘I’m afraid not,’[/color] Mariette said through a portal she partially opened. [color=077ae6]‘What Mayra said about their technology checks out, but I don’t know who they are. I will be conducting my own investigation into the matter. For now… I have to leave. Good bye.’[/color]

And the portal winked out of existence and Mariette made a sudden exit… because Mariette was late for class.

She spun, opened a portal, and dove into the streets of the Overcity. If the academy has school uniform she quickly dove into her new secret base to change her wardrobe as quickly as possible using portals to get the clothes to her, and then she dove through another portal directly to the academy in the Overcity, to just outside the classroom. She withdrew a notebook and pen from her hammerspace portal handbag, and somewhat excitedly, somewhat worriedly made her way into the classroom.

This… this would mark the first time ever Mariette went to school.

So not entirely sure what’s going on here, but they’d be suddenly on-guard when Sonia showed up and then they’re pushed aside by Sann a bit. Are they close enough to be brought along an Overcity Shift? Who knows. They’re around.
