A moment later, however, the dark valkyrie’s actions gained a far more significant importance, as she swooped down upon Justine and her sister, before promptly warping herself and her two captives out of existence. [color=DarkOrchid]“W-What just h-happened?!”[/color] Connie gasped, placing her trembling hands over her mouth. [color=SpringGreen]“I am not entirely sure, little sister,”[/color] Gaia conceded with a frown as she watched an equally confused Sonia also teleport away. [color=SpringGreen]“But I think our new winged acquaintance has proven that she is not to be trusted…”[/color] No sooner had she given voice to this concerning observation, than the verdant maiden’s phone began to buzz. Although she normally didn’t like taking it with her when she went on patrol, since she’d started becoming more connected to the various members of Penrose’s magical community, she’d reluctantly begun bringing it along. Retrieving the device from the folds of her cold weather robe, the Daughter of Mother Earth smiled when she saw that it was a text from her boyfriend, asking if she and Connie were all right. [color=SpringGreen]“We’re both fine, thank you for asking,”[/color] she texted back. [color=SpringGreen]“All the wendigos at the bank have been dealt with, but there was a bit of drama afterwards. I’ll tell you more later. Stay safe for me, okay?”[/color] With that done, she turned to face Valerie and the twins. [color=SpringGreen]“So, I don’t suppose any of you know where they just went, or better yet, have any way of following them?”[/color] [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][@Bright_Ops][/center] MDP was happy when Roxanna apologized, but her frown returned a moment later when the goth girl accused her of talking down to people and not treating them with respect. [color=DeepPink]“But, like, Magical Dream Princess isn’t wisn’t talking down to you, Roxanna Wanna!”[/color] she insisted, once again sounding rather distraught. [color=DeepPink]“She super duper pinky winky promises womises she isn’t! Like, she’s super duper sorry worry if the way she soundy woundies bother wothers you, but like she told you beforesie, she just can’t helpy welpy herselfy welfy! Like, Magical Dream Princess wishes Pastel-chan were heresie weresie…”[/color] the whimsical girl pouted. [color=DeepPink]“She’s, like, [i]lots[/i] better at explaining waining this stuffy wuffy than Magical Dream Princess is… But, like, she had to go bye bye, because Magical Dream Princess did something womething super duper dumb, and she wasn’t even Magical Dream Princess when she did it…”[/color] The poor girl was looking as though she might cry once more, when Roxanna asked about something, just as said thing gently tapped her shoulder. Upon seeing just who it was, the childish girl squealed in delight, her typical bubbly demeanor fully restored. [color=DeepPink]“Snoopy Woopy~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP cheered, before giving the small drone a hug. [color=DeepPink]“When did [i]you[/i] get heresie weresie~?! Like, did Penny Wenny send you to make sure Magical Dream Princess was okie dokie~?! Like, you’re such a good little Snoopy Woopy~”[/color] she cooed while gently nuzzling the robotic scout. [color=DeepPink]“Yes you aresie~ Yes you aresie~ (giggle!)”[/color] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/rSlSWzD.png[/img][/center] [center][hider=Angel of Hope Stats] [center][color=DeepSkyBlue][h2]Angel of Hope[/h2][/color] 3 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 3 5 | 8 | 6 | 14 | 5 Reinforcement | Third Eye Enhanced Outfit | Enhanced Weapon | Enhanced Sustenance | Wings | Gifted Job Satisfaction | Chatty | Mana Font | Mystic Might Cagey | Expendable | Big Brother [/center] [/hider][/center] [center][@Bright_Ops][@twave][/center] As the “discussion” between Roxanna and MDP wore on, the Angel was beginning to feel increasingly troubled. A part of her fully empathized with the goth girl’s annoyance and confusion in the face of the bizarre Princess of Dreams, but another part of her felt moved with concern for the childish girl’s clear distress. [color=DeepSkyBlue][i](Sigh…) I should probably say something to try and clear up this clusterfuck…[/i][/color] However, before she could speak, MDP’s frighteningly fickle attention was drawn to the small drone, which had begun hovering nearby. [color=DeepSkyBlue][i]The fuck? She [b]knows[/b] that thing? And where the hell did it even come from? [b]Oh, but regardless, I am so very glad its presence has allowed the poor darling’s joy to be restored once more![/b][/i][/color] A moment later, the Angel’s attention was drawn away from the wholesome sight, when she felt something tug her wing. Turning around, the Angel was greeted by a small girl with a crystalline theme, who proceeded to express her confusion at the current situation and inquire if she could have some help in understanding it. [color=DeepSkyBlue][i]Join the club, kid…[/i][/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“Oh, my deepest apologies, little champion,”[/b][/color] she told the girl with a submissive bow. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“I did not notice you at first. But, yes, I would be more than happy to assist you, although I must regrettably confess that I, too, have only recently arrived in this fair metropolis, and thus, am also at something of a loss as to its current state of affairs. Indeed, all I truly know is that a pack of monsters most foul has just been defeated, after attempting to visit great misfortune upon the populace of this noble city. If this humble servant may be permitted to be so bold, perhaps the most advantageous way to learn more would be to converse with the various noble champions gathered here?”[/b][/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue][i]After all, better them than me…[/i][/color]
