[color=a699ad]‘Heeey, I saw that! My voice isn't that bad, is it!? I trained for this! Hmpf!’[/color] Jelena responded moderately negatively to Harry’s change of mannerism, which probably didn't help his impression of her.

[color=077ae6]‘Remember why you're here,’[/color] Mariette whispered once again, her gaze sharpening as the Queen of Hearts made herself apparent.

[color=a699ad]‘Yeah, yeah,[/color] Jelena sighed, because she had actually been looking forward to dancing. But, she smiled sweetly at him. [color=a699ad]‘Soy-y! As Mariette's attendant, I must be at her side as she engages in croquet. But, like, if we dance next to the game? Otherwise I could give you my number for later~’[/color] Jelena giggled as she said, the elegant mannerism she was emulating falling somewhat.

Mariette, meanwhile, turned fully to the Queen of Hearts. Strangely enough, she wasn't shy… until the Queen said "don't be shy". Then a dose of apprehension went through her. For some reason, Mariette was addressed "Alice". She didn't understand, but she supposed she'd roll with it.

[color=077ae6]‘So we do, your majesty…’[/color] Then came an odd question, as Mariette accepted the croquet and held it for Jelena to inspect momentarily for magic. [color=077ae6]‘I… come from a pit of darkest despair.’[/color] This held true, regardless of which pit she considered her beginning. [color=077ae6]‘And while I have several destinations in mind, I don't know which I will be heading for yet. It depends on the opportunities this world gives me… and possibly what you have to say,’[/color] she said, trying to avoid being exact because maybe fairy-tale people like that. Maybe.

She'd be willing to move to the intended croquet grounds. She'd studied the basics of croquet for this!

Mayra grinned happily that Angel would accept her hand, despite the obvious threat to her well-being. Sure, there was a protective glove on said hand, but it had1+still been a fun experiment.

[color=fc6828]‘Warm, indeed, Angela! Let's get along well!’[/color] she wished, and gave the angel a name based on the word “Angel”, because obviously she couldn’t call her any of the options the angel herself had offered. The dragon-girl then was probably among the ones who got an earpiece. She'd had such before, albeit not from people other than those on Mariette’s side. She immediately pressed the button.

[color=fc6828]‘Heeey, can you all hear me right now? That's pretty cool!’[/color] Mayra said loudly right into the microphone, and then smirked widely before actually equipping it.

They then went to the town in question, and there was a hurt Magical Girl. Not that Mayra cared much. The dragon-girl knew she was not in charge of taking care of the wounded. She was in charge of…!

[color=fc6828]‘Which side is the enemy?’[/color] Mayra asked before unceremoniously blasting herself off towards the battlefield like a firebolt out of a cannon. She held her arms out at her sides, and fire poured out of her claws, taking magical shape like blades of fire extending out of each of her fingers.

[color=fc6828]‘CHAAAAAA!!’[/color] Mayra leapt into battle, swinging both arms to slice her claws of fire through her enemies and then spin and fire-blast herself from enemy to enemy and wreak as much carnage as possible!

And if someone hadn't told her who to attack, she'd just go for all eligible targets without discrimination, like those sunflowers.

So, people were jumping through the portal now, and they, of course, had to follow suit. Ronin, however, took a look towards Penny and then jumped over to whisper a bit to her, after Mayra had left.

[color=55B7AA]‘So, the whole saving Mariette thing. It’s lower priority, but it [i]could[/i] extend to the rest of her posse. Me and Miko don’t really have anything else to do right now, so guess we’ll probably be looking into that!’[/color] she said. Miko, able to guess what’s being said, skipped in to whisper, too.

[color=DC9495]‘It’s a bit more dangerous, though, for if they realize what we’re doing they might look into if we’ve already been successful, so, maybe we should be careful not to endanger Mariette. Like, if we unbrainwashed Mayra, everyone would know within the hour,’[/color] Miko cautioned.

[color=55B7AA]‘Ah, that’s a good point,’[/color] Ronin nodded, hadn’t thought of that.

[color=DC9495]‘Now let’s go while the portal is still open,’[/color] Miko said, and Ronin agreed and they skipped to get through the portal. They were now at risk of having to buy ice cream for everyone.

They arrived, and they quickly realized people were in trouble. There was an army coming down, after all. 

[color=55B7AA]‘Wooo, what are our chances when fighting?’[/color] Ronin asked. The two wouldn’t move until the rest decided on a course of action.

[color=DC9495]‘If it’s evacuating villagers, we can get on that right now,’[/color] Miko said. The two of them were not very powerful in a fight, normally, but if it was helping villagers there were two of them with double efficiency!
