She never let on much nor did she ever seem particularly strung out about anything. The only time her mysterious facade cracked was when she almost ate Suki’s cooking. How fortunate that Suki didn’t notice and she was able to leave without offending the cook. Though in this particular situation, it was Rei that was at a loss as to what her club was trying to do. They had been presented with two anomalies, and all of them had decided to venture towards the pillar of light. The appeal of the light was not lost to her, of course. The miseria would head in that direction if they weren’t attacking pedestrians instead. But it didn’t seem like the detention club was that interested in slaying miseria. Most seemed to favor going to the light source itself. Even Nyxia, who was something of a miseria slaying enthusiast, had decided to hoof it to the light without even firing her gun [i]once[/i]. This was someone who previously stood in place and nuked miseria by the dozens. Had Roche finally tamed her? Unlikely. This was stranger than it was interesting, [s]like that totally unnecessary character cameo[/s]. With a huff, Rei jumped to a building and scaled all the way up to the roof. She was quite a bit stronger than a normal human, but still far below what a magical girl could achieve in terms of speed. The next building was separated by a small alleyway, and Rei was able to clear the jump. The next building came just after a two lane road, and would be impossible to jump. Rei decided to try it anyway. She cleared a good distance, but impossible was impossible. She had reached the part of her jump where she had lost all horizontal movement and was plummeting straight down. She fell below the roofline in the blink of an eye. … … … [center][img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/e39b451c-cbdf-4533-a353-15961e03cd2f.jpg[/img] [color=deeppink]”Did somebody call for a cat girl?”[/color] [color=888888]— Willow[/color][/center] Willow came flying up with Rei on her arm and landed on the roof. Shortly afterwards, Rei let go of the cat girl and started running like she had just made the jump. Willow floated beside her. [color=deeppink]”Rei!”[/color] Willow practically shrieked the words. [color=deeppink]”If I hadn’t finished tying my shoes, you would have gone ker-splat!”[/color] [color=seagreen]“I [i]can[/i] transform, you know.”[/color] Rei had little difficulty speaking while she ran, despite the difficulty that might give lesser humans. [color=seagreen]“But it’s a hassle, so thanks. Though you’re hardly ever [i]not[/i] looking at me.”[/color] [color=deeppink]”Oh! Well…”[/color] Willow began to float backwards. [color=deeppink]”That’s certainly a possibility, isn’t it? After all, my shoes have buckles, don’t they? I couldn’t tie my laces.”[/color] [color=seagreen]“You wear slip-ons.”[/color] Willow was a very unique magical girl. She could float, just like Evil Eye. She was a bit of a joker, just like Evil Eye. She could summon twisted creatures, just like Evil Eye. She also wore dark colored clothing accented by deep warm colors, just, like, Evil Eye. She even had a prestigious position in the club due to her being Rei’s fighting partner. Though as many parallels that could be drawn between Will of the Whisps and Evil Eye, they were different in several subtle yet outstanding ways. While Evil Eye was mysterious and plotting, Willow was nonsensical and spontaneous. Evil Eye’s mogall were good scouts, Willow’s twisted fairytales were expert killers. Evil Eye liked eyeballs, Willow was more into stringed instruments and bands. But the real core difference that made Willow [i]so much better[/i] than Evil Eye in [i]every way that mattered[/i] was that she was a [b]cat girl[/b]. Her ears were very real and very much a part of her when she transformed. [color=deeppink]”I wonder what made that light?”[/color] Willow wondered out loud. [color=seagreen]“I already know.”[/color] [color=deeppink]”Oh! Then please tell me!”[/color] [color=seagreen]“You already know too. You were coming from that direction.”[/color] [color=deeppink]”It was much too dark for my little kitty eyes to see anything! But I suppose we’ll see as soon as we get there.”[/color] Willow got ready to help Rei jump the next gap.

Unless it’s related to my heart!”[/color] [color=888888]— Suki Oyama[/color][/center] It was worse than Oros feared. It didn’t matter if there were miseria floating right in front of her face, or if Oros gave Acid Drop enough air time to pull off a quadruple axle (a move that is considered impossible for ice skaters) she refused to do anything that would spark joy. Acid Drop flew through the air like a rag doll and landed in Oros’s hands. [color=tomato]"Rainbow?”[/color] Surely [i]now[/i], in her magical form, Tsubomi should have been at least a little more upbeat. But it wasn’t cutting the mustard this time. Even when the burst of light went off, all Oros could do was look into her partner’s eyes to see about finding a solution. But there was nothing to glean from the reflection in her eyes. Acid drop did not need to free herself, Oros got the hint instantly. She set her down. It was clear that Acid Drop didn’t want to pal around. With a sigh, Oros hung her head and slowly, gradually, skated behind Acid Drop as slowly as she could muster. Any faster and she’d run her over.
