All she actually had time to process was that some form of bat-based attack was incoming. Not when, not where, not aimed at what. 'An attack. Move.' And so she did. Slowly. When the splatter of the Mogall hit her, Acid Drop was already falling, having tripped on her own foot. The next thing she heard was the bursting of a tire, the last one to do so in response to Evil Eye's minion. At least, that's what it seemed like to Tsubomi. She hadn't heard the voice in her head calling her an idiot as she fell, nor did she realize how hard she hit her head on the ground. What she did realize was that something was different. She couldn't put her finger on what, though. The giant eyeball monster? That might be it. The painful source of the blood running down the side of her head? Could be too. [color=00aeef][i]Oh. I'm standing.[/i][/color] And she was. She'd already stood up. Sure, she'd done so at the speed her mundane self would, maybe just a hair faster, but she was definitely standing again. She didn't remember doing that. Maybe she hit her head harder than she had assumed. She twisted her head, first tilting to one side, then the other, then to face towards her right, then her left. There was a crowd growing. She couldn't feel them, so seeing them was the only way she could become aware of them. But they were there. Looking back at Diamond, it seemed that she was having a hard time too. Why was she here, though? Last time the two had met, she'd fought Shatterscape and left after that. If she wanted a fight, she had interesting timing, picking a time where Tsubomi couldn't. She blinked. When her eyes reopened, nothing new had happened. Strange, normally when she blinked, things were notably different after. Just how fast had she closed her eyes? She blinked once more, and again there was little change. The thought to count as she did passed by lazily, but she knew that her counting wouldn't be fast enough to measure with. The idea that maybe she had her magic back, enough to perform, was there, but it was fleeting. She couldn't feel it in her. Something seemed to click inside, making Tsubomi walk over to the Light Girl. Slowly, yes, but not as slow as she'd been on her walk from the school. She stopped a few feet away, and looked directly into Diamond's eyes. [color=00aeef]"Mm. Are you okay?" [i]Am[/i] I [i]okay?[/i][/color]
