Although a small part of 04 felt bad for the idealistic girl, a far larger part was immensely grateful for how much the greenette’s sullen demeanor served to aid in the completion of her own objective. Even Chloe’s latest comments toward her were taken as more of a compliment than anything else. Yes, 04 reflected, things were going much smoother now, which, of course, meant that it was time for another awkward situation to manifest itself. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was MDP who initiated things by revealing that she knew of someone capable of hiding Penrose and placing a fake city atop it. As it happened, 04 [i]also[/i] knew such a person, and she was pretty sure it was the same individual the Princess of Dreams was referring to. This was a problem, not only because said individual had absolutely zero interest in helping the inhabitants of Penrose, but also because bringing them up would inevitably focus everyone’s attention on 04 herself. [color=Lime][i]Maybe Lily didn’t hear her… And perhaps the others will simply ignore her ramblings as mere whimsical nonsense…[/i][/color] And maybe Penny will choose this moment to dump MDP and reveal she’s getting engaged to Oros.

[color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“Oh, goodness! That would indeed be most helpful, kind champion,”[/b][/color] the Angel told the newcomer with a bright smile. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“Thank you so very much for this remarkably generous offer!”[/b][/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue][i]Holy shit… Is this really happening?[/i][/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“If this humble servant may be permitted a request of her own, there is a group of suffering souls that she has promised to free from their myriad torments,”[/b][/color] the Angelic beauty continued, clasping her hands together in a gesture of supplication. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“Would you perhaps be able to intercede with the most noble Keeper on their account?”[/b][/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue][i]Yeah, the sooner I get that bunch of losers off my ass, the better…[/i][/color] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/q4au2SQ.png[/img][/center] [center][hider=Connie and Mia Stats] [center][color=DarkOrchid][h2]Connie[/h2][/color] 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 5 | 4 | 6 | 22 | 5 Oddball: Nightmares | Tentacles Enhanced Weapon | Power Artifact | Mystic Artifact | Ally | Interdimensional Home Focused | Mental Link | Hidden Death | Mana Font | Mystic Might Alien Mind | Formless | Rival Force | Clueless [/center] [hr] [center][color=SpringGreen][h2]Mia[/h2][/color] 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 5 | 8 | 7 | 22 | 5 Wood | Barrage Enhanced Weapon | Dual Weapon | Purification Artifact | Big Red Button Blessing | Divine Competence | Gifted Item | Mana Font | Mystic Might Rites| Arrogance | Big Brother | Clueless [/center][/hider][/center] Connie’s mask formed a genuine smile when Kayli praised her suggestion, its stark white cheeks also turning a slight shade of red. [color=DarkOrchid]“T-Thank you…”[/color] she whispered, feeling a little embarrassed from the attention, but also comforted by her guardian’s kind words. More surprising by far, however, was Chloe’s response. It was substantially less playful and mocking than anything she had said up to this point, almost as if the junior coin broker was affording Connie a measure of respect she felt the others undeserving of. Was Chloe actually intimidated by her after hearing about what had happened to New York’s broker? Connie couldn’t begin to say, but she was appreciative of the noticeable lack of condescension shown towards her nonetheless. [color=SpringGreen]“That was a wonderful suggestion, little sister,”[/color] Gaia whispered. [color=SpringGreen]“And I think it might have actually shaken her up, even if only slightly,”[/color] she added with a small smirk.
