Triple check. Though to be fair, that was somewhat expected. It wasn't often Silvia hoped [i]more[/i] people arrived at an event, but she wouldn't have minded talking to Celina or Nessie again. But no matter how long she stared down the dark hallway, it didn't seem like anyone else was coming. Had Bonnie not summoned them? Were they running late? It didn't matter. She didn't care. She looked over the group. She'd have to talk to Bonnie at some point, but at the moment it looked like Bonnie was a little busy. Popular people tended to have a lot of connections. Even if Bonnie and Silvia had only spoken with each other a few times, it made sense that she knew a lot of the people present. Silvia was likely an outlier in that regard. Of course a class of students would be familiar with each other. Why would they run off on their own to better their skills in solitude? Did the magical girls of Marrywell even believe in solitude for [i]anything[/i]? Regardless, it wouldn't do to just hang back while everyone else went exploring. Especially since she had been noticed. [color=tomato][i]Silvy?[/i][/color] Had she just been given a nickname? Before Silvia could even respond, Tesni went on to continue talking with her friends. The speed in which she jumped from topic to topic was astounding. It almost made Silvia dizzy. She could keep up with it, but not participate. It wasn't until Suzuya produced a torch that Silvia found a moment to join them. [color=tomato]"I don't think any of us want to burn down the school."[/color] Well, maybe one of them. Tesni did do a number on the cafeteria. [color=tomato]"And if we did, we probably wouldn't be looking for your permission. But it's good to know you can extinguish your flames."[/color] Maybe she was trying to say that her flames wouldn't burn anything she didn't want them to burn because she could extinguish them. If so, that was a pretty passive-aggressive way to word it. [color=tomato]"If I had flame magic I'd probably use it to cook pizza."[/color] A silly thing to say, but it was just to defuse some tention. Ozma also had a bit to say, but Silvia was only half listening to it as none of it seemed to be aimed at her specifically. [color=tomato][i]We can get ratted out for this?[/i][/color] ... Though for Charlotte, the couch remained in her focus. Maybe she was planning on taking a nap there. Maybe she and Valeria would do some cuddling before the night was over. Who really knew what went through the mind of Ozma? Though one thing was certain. She was not the first person to spot the couch by the fireplace. A woman's head rose over the back of the couch. Slowly, her forehead came into view. Then her eyes, then her nose. [color=goldenrod]"Oh, hey everyone."[/color] She stepped over the back of the couch, revealing her less than modest costume. She might have been trying to go for some sort of [url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FKBjccGacAIs6cp?format=jpg&name=4096x4096]animal hybrid mummy[/url], but there really weren't enough wraps to fully sell the look, let alone be considered a modest costume choice. That was either bothersome or appealing depending on who was looking. There was enough jewelry to pass the "mummy" off as a pharaoh at least. Golden bangles and rings covered the woman head to toe. It wasn't immediately obvious who she was, but her voice was distinctly Mika's. A keen observer may have even noticed her scabbard wedged between the couch cushions on a second look. [color=goldenrod]"I almost came as a maid, but I don't know. I didn't feel like being a servant today."[/color] And she wasn't alone. An all-white bulldog walked around the couch and sat at Mika's feet. He was [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/d1/f9/cbd1f9500bfaf82d6bab2d171eee6bf6.jpg]unusually well dressed[/url] for the occasion. [color=goldenrod]"...But I still got roped into dog-sitting. If you're going to explore the dungeon, maybe you'd like to take Winston here for a walk? He'd enjoy it."[/color] Winston just looked at the girls with a closed mouth, as if he was anticipating an answer. [color=goldenrod]"Assuming you girls want your privacy that is. I can certainly come with you if you don't mind my company. Or maybe you want my company? I mean, Ozma's strong, but you know..."[/color] She wiggled her fingers in the air. [color=goldenrod]"There are things locked in that dungeon that no magical girl should have to see! Things scarier than any pageless that were too powerful to defeat. They've been banished to the darkest corner of the academy to ensure they don't taint the light!"[/color] Winston turned away from everyone and buried his face in the back of the couch.
