Getting mistaken for Alex and subsequently hugged by Lily had been bad enough, but now problematic comments were being made about her esteemed creator, comments said creator was certain to have responses for. Responses 04 herself would be forced to convey… [color=Lime]“Miss Lily, Doctor Kannis has instructed me to inform you that you will be waiting for an exceedingly long time,”[/color] 04 began after her charge had declared that she would wait as long as it took for Nykannis to be her friend. [color=Lime]“In addition, she would prefer that you refer to her by her full title. Furthermore, Miss Ronin,”[/color] the bodyguard continued, turning to address the small samurai. [color=Lime]“Doctor Kannis would have you know that she is not, in fact, a ‘tsun’, and that you should look up the proper definition of that word before ever employing it again.”[/color] Obviously, Nykannis had used language of a considerably harsher nature, but 04 wished to at least be [i]somewhat[/i] tactful… [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/rSlSWzD.png[/img][/center] [center][hider=Angel of Hope Stats] [center][color=DeepSkyBlue][h2]Angel of Hope[/h2][/color] 3 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 3 5 | 8 | 6 | 14 | 5 Reinforcement | Third Eye Enhanced Outfit | Enhanced Weapon | Enhanced Sustenance | Wings | Gifted Job Satisfaction | Chatty | Mana Font | Mystic Might Cagey | Expendable | Big Brother [/center] [/hider][/center] [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“Oh, goodness! That is so very kind of you!”[/b][/color] the Angel gushed when Rose offered to convey the support group’s troubles to the Keeper. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“This humble servant shall of course provide you with all the relevant information once this meeting has adjourned, noble champion,”[/b][/color] she added with a gracious and demure bow. [color=DeepSkyBlue][i]I can’t fuckin’ believe it… This might actually [b]work…[/b][/i][/color] Shortly thereafter, the gathering moved into Connie’s interdimensional home, and the Angel marveled at the various sights the new venue had on display. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]“Good heavens! Such a wonderfully wholesome ambiance!”[/b][/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue][i]What is this girl, [b]five?[/b] Fuck, for someone who looks like a horror movie reject, she’s almost as bad as that kawaiiko bitch over there…[/i][/color] After thanking Connie for her generous offer to host the meeting, the Angel drifted into the background to allow said meeting to continue in all its tedious banality. Things [i]did[/i] get more interesting with Doctor Nykannis’s arrival and subsequent rant, but this ultimately proved to be merely a brief diversion, and the Angel was left to wonder whether or not the mad scientist could actually back up her audacious claims. [color=DeepSkyBlue][i][b]Tangental reality layers?[/b] What kinda technobabble bullshit is [b]that?![/b] I’ll bet that scrawny bitch is just some stupid chuuni who’s nothing but empty talk, which these morons are gullible enough to actually believe…[/i][/color] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/udsgqgr.png[/img][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/q4au2SQ.png[/img][/center] [center][hider=MDP Stats] [center][color=DeepPink][h2]Magical Dream Princess[/h2][/color] 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 4 | 9 | 4 | 24 | 9 Oddball: Sweet Dreams | Barrage Wealth and Resources (not while tf'd) | Enhanced Weapon | Power Artifact | Dual Weapon | Natural Aging | Money | Intuition Focused | Mental Link | Hidden Death | Mana Font | Mystic Might Alien Mind | Formless | Rival Force | Clueless [/center] [/hider][/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] [color=DarkOrchid]“Y-You’re v-very w-welcome!”[/color] Connie replied, her mask forming a happy smile as Lily and the others thanked her and began “placing their orders”, as it were. It brought great joy to her kind heart to know that everyone was making themselves right at home. Speaking of, the timid girl’s smile grew even wider at the utterly adorable sight of Mariette’s ever growing plush pile. Thanks to the magic of the home, even the portal witch’s attempt at monopolizing the plushies wouldn’t prevent others from enjoying them as well. Indeed, when MDP and Mariette had each grabbed one side of a colorful rainbow caterpillar and began to pull it towards themselves, the soft creature simply duplicated itself. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-I’m s-so glad you l-like them, M-Mariette,”[/color] Connie told the portal witch. [color=DarkOrchid]“G-Gosh! Y-You look s-so adorable!”[/color] [color=DeepPink]“Yeah~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP agreed, hugging her own little friends tightly as she bounced up and down in her seat. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Mariettey Wettey’s pile wile of friendy wendies is, like, super [i]duper[/i] adorable worable~! (giggle!)”[/color] As the meeting continued, and Nykannis made her short appearance, Connie couldn’t help but frown at the mad scientist’s condescending tone. She was happy for the help, of course, but she wished that the diminutive doctor would have been a little nicer. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Nykannis Wannis just gets grumpy wumpy sometimey wimeies~”[/color] MDP explained to Ronin, when the small samurai asked if Nykannis was being tsun. [color=DeepPink]“Like, she may not be the nicest wicest person werson right nowie,”[/color] the whimsical girl continued. [color=DeepPink]“But, like, Magical Dream Princess just [i]knows[/i] that’ll changey wangey once she gets more friendy wendies~! (giggle!) After allsie, befriending wending grumpy wumpy people weple is, like, totally wotally what magical wagical girls do~! (giggle!)”[/color] she declared, as if it was a perfectly obvious conclusion to reach. [color=SpringGreen]“Well said, Your Highness,”[/color] Gaia noted with a serene nod. [color=SpringGreen]“And Lily is correct. Doctor Nykannis provided considerable aid to our efforts to evacuate Bolorton, as I can personally attest. Although I do not know what her ulterior motivations may be, if any exist to begin with,”[/color] the verdant maiden continued. [color=SpringGreen]“I believe we can trust her claim of ensuring Penrose’s safety, at the very least.”[/color] However, it was around then that Binky began having something of a minor freak out. [color=DarkOrchid]“O-Oh g-gosh!”[/color] Connie gasped when Binky insisted to be allowed to leave. [color=DarkOrchid]“W-What’s g-going on?!”[/color] she asked, even as she opened a door for the panicking greenette. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-Is e-everything a-all right?!”[/color] [color=LightSteelBlue]“Maura’s dropped off the magicom network,”[/color] Valerie replied succinctly. [color=LightSteelBlue]“Same with some of our other agents.”[/color] [color=Violet]“We need to investigate the cause, but hopefully it shouldn’t be anything too bad,”[/color] Amanda reassured her masked friend. [color=DeepPink]“Golly wolly! Like, Magical Dream Princess wants to helpy welpy, too!”[/color] MDP announced as she jumped up and bounced over to Connie and the Cradle agents. [color=LightSteelBlue]“This is a Cradle matter,”[/color] Valerie told her. [color=LightSteelBlue]“We can handle it on our own.”[/color] [color=Violet]“Val’s right, Dreamy,”[/color] Amanda added with a sympathetic smile. [color=Violet]“We’ve got this.”[/color] [color=DeepPink]“B-But, like, there’s nothing wothing for Magical Dream Princess to do at this meeting weeting, and like, she’s [i]gotta wotta[/i] helpy welpy if her best friendy wendy in the whole wide worldsie is in trouble wouble, so, like, can she [i]pleeeease[/i] helpy welpy, Pastel-chaaaan?”[/color] the whimsical girl begged, clasping her hands together, and frowning plaintively. [color=DeepPink]“Pretty pretty pleasey weasey with a cherry werry on toppy woppy?”[/color] [color=Violet]“[i]Fine[/i], you can come with,”[/color] Amanda relented, shaking her head in mixture of exasperation and amusement.[color=Violet] [sub]“You know I can’t turn down that face.”[/sub][/color] [color=DeepPink]“Yaaay~!”[/color] MDP cheered, giving the dream magician a hug. [color=DeepPink]“Thankie wankies, Pastel-Chan~! (giggle!)”[/color] [color=DarkOrchid]“G-Good luck!”[/color] Connie called to the departing quartet, before closing the door after them. [color=DarkOrchid][i]I really hope everything’s going to be all right…[/i][/color]
