Ohohoho!”[/color] Karin laughed her supremely smug and obnoxious laugh as the two demons comedy sketched in mid air thanks to her own efforts. As Pit passed her by, Karin began backing up to get a head start on her exit as well. Her laughing stopped as someone she didn’t recognize beheaded both of the demons in less than a second. [color=fff200]”Ohohoho-! Oh.” [/color] Decapitation wasn’t particularly amusing. Who was this stowaway that had hid until the end of the fight to emerge, anyway? It seemed like the furry one knew him. Regardless, it wasn’t a very good first impression for Karin. Such barbaric means of combat always left a bad taste in her mouth. Still, the two demons struck Karin as both dangerous and rotten, so they wouldn’t be missed. Clearing her throat, she moved on, jumping from the rearmost truck to one in the middle of the pack. Karin was going to follow Giovanna and Raiden’s lead, breaking through the pack by relying on skill and mobility. She wasn’t nearly as floaty as all of them, but she was strong, fast, with great reactions and quick thinking. If she did say so herself. She leapt from truck to truck, dancing through the carnage like a leaf moving from stone to stone in the raging rapids. One truck rose above the others and aimed to crash into her- Karin calmly moved over it like she was stepping over a knee high wall, despite the container being twice her size. There she dashed to make up the ground she just lost. Finally, she used her grappling hook to pull her the rest of the way, latching onto the side of one of the leading trucks and letting it pull her as she hopped along behind it. Latching on victoriously, she climbed onto the roof and patted her very dusty pants. It was fortunate she had changed outfits- this type of adventurer’s clothing looked just as good with dust on it as it did without. There was a certain aesthetic to it that Karin enjoyed. She did, however, go about removing the dust from her perfectly maintained hair as fast as possible. Turning over her shoulder, she watched with an impassive exterior as she waited for Sakura to emerge from the carnage in that vehicle of hers. A few moments later, she did, and Karin quietly breathed out a sigh of relief. Waiting for the trucks to carry her the rest of the way, she flipped off the truck as it passed by the helicopter and skidded to a stop. [color=fff200]”A private helicopter. This is the type of transport befitting a Kanzuki- and all of us Seekers.”[/color] Satisfied, she stepped aboard and waited, setting a hand on her hip. [color=fff200]”I offer my congratulations to all of you. I wish I could give you all a more detailed review of your performance for future improvement, but I was quite distracted by my own bout. So I will just have to improve on that aspect, myself.”[/color] She brought the back of her hand against her coils. [color=fff200]”Regardless, it was all more than satisfactory. Not a single casualty.”[/color] Karin was very pleased. She turned her attention to other matters. [color=fff200]”Who is this sword wielding fellow that joined us so late into the fight?” [/color] She asked Tora, Poppi, and the man himself.
