Not concerned in the slightest with paying Hatwington any attention, Jelena took the time to eavesdrop on the conversation of the hooded one and Harry. Though, it sounded like the conversation was simply about how safe it was to have Mariette there, or something like that. Well, good to know that if they tried to transport an army in here, they’d end up in the dungeon. Unfortunately, Jelena’s lack of stealth skills meant she was swiftly discovered. Still, she just smiled happily when Harry came by.

[color=a699ad]‘He sure did!’[/color] Jelena replied to the question if Hatwington bored her. [color=a699ad]‘Anyway, I think I’ve strayed too far from my mistress, she’ll be expecting me to be at her side. I will be returning to her now. See you later!’[/color] As fun as Jelena found playing detective and trying to find out whatever secrets they might have at this place, she was also decently sure it’d mean the end of her adventures for a while ahead and they could likely do any number of bad things to them. That, and she was there to ensure she and Mariette weren’t being affected by external magic. So, she picked herself up with metal magic and floated back to Mariette.

Mariette, meanwhile, was dealing with a woman that was claiming to be her mother. She was increasingly thinking this was a case of mistaken identity. Not that she would bring this to her attention.

[color=077ae6]‘I…’[/color] Mariette absolutely couldn’t tell her that the only reason she was giving gifts was because she wanted a Lesser Force dolphin to give back her Black Mirror that she’d been commanded to keep track of. Such a greedy motive was surely not befitting the Alice that the queen desired…

[color=077ae6]‘How long ago was this? What happened? And you… made this dimension for… today?’[/color] Mariette asked, as she also took the time to do her swing on the ball. She was probably pretty distracted, far more interested in what the queen had to say than in the result of the game.

Mariette momentarily attempted to use Absolute Direction at the concept of “Alice, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts”, to see if she was pointed somewhere.

The dragon girl spent some time ducking and weaving aside as to not be hit with anti-tank rounds or whatever those were. Then her mouth opened up when this quartet of destruction showed up. Of course, Mayra was hardly familiar with the story of Dorothy and her unlikely companions so she couldn’t draw the parallel, but what she did see was a bunch of worthy challengers showing up. Mayra grinned.

[color=fc6828]‘Now we’re talking.’[/color]

Finn sent a bull and a bunch of chickens at the lion. Gaia’s plants shot water at the metal giant, and tried to ensnare the armless girl along with Angel of Hope. The green dragon went to attack the same girl. Some other people arrived and someone opened fire on the tin-man, then leapt to strike him.

Guess who was left completely unattended? 

The scarecrow, that’s who. Scarecrows should burn pretty easily, right?

Mayra blasted off, directing her arms behind her and blasting fire to send herself off like a blaze of fire. She ran in an arc, because said scarecrow was taking cover behind the giant tin-man. With an eager grin, Mayra raised her claws.

[color=fc6828]‘HEY, HAYSTACK! DO YOU BUUURN!!??’[/color] she asked, just as she attempted to slice past the scarecrow with a claw blazing and extended with fire-magic, like solidified fire. She was ready to do a blast of fire at him to vault herself sideways if he did some form of counter-attack, but otherwise she intended to slice past his position and then spin around a couple meters later to face her determined quarry, grin on her face.

[color=55B7AA]‘Woooo! Speed-tiles!’[/color] Ronin grinned as she ran her evacuation a bit faster thanks to Lily’s tiles.

[color=DC9495]‘So much more to be done…!’[/color] Miko lamented the fact that this was taking a while. All the clones should help out with evacuating the remaining homes faster, but just the pair of Ronin and Miko did their best to reduce that time just a little.
