[color=tomato]”Everything is going to be okay."[/color]

[color=888888]— Suki Oyama[/color][/center]

[color=tomato]”We know, Roach."[/color] In the day prior, Kiyo had told Suki and Tsubomi about the change to the teams. It would be kind of awkward if she had waited several days to tell her own squad about it, but Suki didn’t bother herself with that. Honestly, It was kind of weird that She, Tsubomi, and Kiyo were on the same team now. Should they have come up with a new team name? Was there even a theme that could be used to connect the three of them together? A blood witch, someone who played with eyeballs, and someone who made water that altered emotions. No… a [i]brew[/i]. Yes, they could run with a witch theme. If only they could get themselves pointy hats. Was it possible to alter their magical girl forms to have pointy hats? Pointy hats were pretty dope if you weren’t trying to kiss anybody. But maybe the hats could be pointy, just with a small brim. Yea, that would be sweet!

What wasn't sweet was this atmosphere.

Haruna’s apologies weren’t helping, Nyxia’s shitty disposition wasn’t helping, Tsubomi’s apathy wasn’t helping, Shuuko’s confusion wasn’t helping, Roche wasn’t worth mentioning, and Kiyo’s boredom wasn’t… immediately helpful.

[color=tomato]"Little monkeys?"[/color] It didn’t sound like it was related to the Gems if it was a dark girl. But if there was a magical girl attacking Kiyo’s eyeballs, then that meant something was up. Admittedly, Nyxia was probably right. Whoever was attacking them likely didn’t want to be spotted. And who knew, maybe it was the Gems and also the reason why they had been able to move around so easily. [color=tomato]"Well, you know what? I think we should try to find the source of those monkeys. If it’s a dark magical girl, maybe we can team up with them and uh, hopefully it won’t go like last time. By which I mean they’re gunna help us or we’ll kick their ass before they kick ours!"[/color] 

Fortunately it seemed like her earlier humiliation blew over without anyone caring! Now Suki felt like she had a purpose, [b]and she desired to see where it lead.[/b]

[color=tomato]"Are there any of those monkeys out right now? Or like, a spot where you normally see them?"[/color]

[color=deeppink]”Your frog must be depraved if it’s sitting on unicorn horns.”[/color]

[color=888888]— Willow[/color][/center]


Willow stopped playing the second her steed disappeared under a mountain of a frog. Her eyes trailed up the slick creature to the person mounted on top of. Then her lips curled into a smile. 

And she played.

[color=deeppink]”Long time no smell, froglegs.“[/color] Willow's hair bristled, like a cat preparing for a fight. [color=deeppink]”And what an interesting greeting! You accuse me of bullying creatures smaller than myself and then bring out a sizable creature of your own. On a [b]bull[/b]frog no less!“[/color] She clicked her tongue. Her crimson orbs glowed like fresh embers.  [color=deeppink]”But I’m glad you decided to come play with me! What kept you so long? Was it that fake maiden who tended to the mountain shrine? Hmmm? She died around the same time you stopped coming around here. Let me guess, you were using her corpse to catch flies? Or was she cremated? I’ll have to ask Rei next time I see her. I wonder if she’d even remember such an unremarkable woman.“[/color] 

A dark flame erupted from underneath Kaeru’s frog, detonating like a bomb. It was enough to tip it sideways, and for the unicorn trapped underneath to stand up and thrust it’s horn into the frog’s soft underbelly. Willow had taken to the sky, whirling like a dervish and playing only the way paganini could.
