[color=SpringGreen]“I am most pleased to make your acquaintance, Branch Nose,”[/color] the verdant maiden told him. [color=SpringGreen]“You may call me Gaia,”[/color] she added. [color=SpringGreen]“The young woman in the mask down there is my dearest friend, Connie.”[/color] [color=DarkOrchid]“I-It’s n-nice to m-meet you,”[/color] Connie called up to the ancient tree. [color=SpringGreen]“Riding beside her is our friend Mayra,”[/color] Gaia continued. [color=SpringGreen]“While our friends Lily and Alexander are the ones riding on the motorcycle.”[/color] Strangely absent from their little procession was Chloe and her skeletal army, but Gaia thought that was probably for the best. There were undoubtedly other matters the dark magical girl’s forces could attend to, and it would ensure they wouldn’t be traumatizing poor Connie with any additional potentially gruesome displays. And that’s pretty much all that’s going on with Connie and Gaia right now, so let’s check in on some other fan favorite characters that aren’t named Magical Dream Princess. Angela (aka the magical girl formerly known as the Angel of Hope) is doing various super important tasks for her new patron. She may or may not show up to the Wonderland battle at a suitably dramatic moment, although her big new magical girl name reveal was already spoiled by a certain someone over a year ago, but maybe everyone reading along has forgotten that by now. Let’s hope so. Kate is regaling Morowa with some stories about her time at Fae Creek Academy, including her first time crossing paths with a certain patchwork pinkette, while having a meal at a treehouse restaurant in The World With No Name’s Wandering Woods. There are also a bunch of other crazy cool things going on in that particular universe at around that same time, but I know none of you gives a shit about that stuff. Finally, Nykannis is doing Nykannis things, which will be elucidated in the fullness of time, but shall remain a mystery for now. Look forward to it!

[color=DeepPink]“Golly wolly~!”[/color] the whimsical girl exclaimed, rocking back on her heels and placing a hand to shield her eyes as she looked up at the towering creature. [color=DeepPink]“He’s, like, super [i]duper[/i] biggy wiggy~! Like, is this your daddy waddy~?!”[/color] she asked the smaller cacti, which were excitedly gathering around the new arrival and gibbering in their strange language. [color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowie~!”[/color] the Princess of Dreams cheered a moment later, when the giant cactus did a cartwheel, exhibiting impressive agility for something so large. [color=DeepPink]“That was, like, totally wotally amazing wazing~! (giggle!) Like, do you wanna play gamey wamies with us, too~?!”[/color] she inquired with a bright and innocent smile. Of course, with her painfully limited attention so fully fixated upon the cacti (cactur?), MDP had completely failed to notice that Ronin and Miko had since departed, while yet another potential new friend had arrived. At least, until said new arrival made the mistake of asking her a question… [color=DeepPink]“Golly wolly goodness woodness!”[/color] MDP exclaimed when she whirled around to find a wolf girl siting atop a massive cyborg cockatrice. [color=DeepPink]“Like, thatsie watsie’s a super duper biggy wiggy birdy wirdy! And it kinda winda looks a little wittle familiar wiliar, too…”[/color] the ditzy girl added as her ADHD addled brain tried and failed to recall where she’d perhaps seen the creature before. [color=DeepPink]“Oh~!”[/color] she cried with delight as a new thought popped into her hyperactive head. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess hasn’t ever wever met [i]you[/i] beforesie worsie~! (giggle!)”[/color] she told the creature’s rider with a big smile. [color=DeepPink]“Like, what’s [i]your[/i] namey wamey~?! Magical Dream Princess’s namey wamey is Magical Dream Princess~! And these are her new cactus wactus friendy wendies, and her chessy wessy friendy wendies, and Mister Wister Clocky Wocky Coppy Woppy, and Mister Wister Hatty Watty~! Would you like to be friendy wendies and play some gamey wamies with us~?!”[/color] she asked as she began excitedly jumping up and down. [color=DeepPink]“Would you~?! Would you~?! Would you~?!”[/color]
