[color=00ff00]"So we can’t help Tsubomi, but we’re allowed to help Suki? Or is it just that you don’t want to kiss her?"[/color]

[color=888888]— Dazzling Diamond[/color][/center]

After Topaz was returned to their number, Diamond turned to look at her. [color=00ff00]"Are you okay?"[/color]

Her irises had been completely consumed by her pupils. There also seemed to be a shadow on her face that would darken it for the rest of her life. With a trembling hand, she took one of her arrows and slammed it into the base of her chin. With a blink, color had returned to her eyes, and her smile beamed so brightly it chased away any shadow. Then she turned to Diamond. [color=fab35f]"It was a little scary, but I’m all good now, hun!"[/color] 

Boleite shrugged her shoulders and heaved her weapon over her shoulder. It seemed like everyone was okay, so there was no reason to keep fighting. On her approach, she caught what Kaeru was telling her. [color=87cefa]"I’m actually a lot heavier than I look. You have no idea how much this equipment weighs. The backpack makes me too awkward to carry."[/color] She took Kaeru’s joke at face value, but didn’t seem offended by the comment. [color=87cefa]"And I’m not riding in the belly of a frog. If they touch both ends of my tesla coils, they could get shocked."[/color]

When Noc asked for a healer, Diamond could sense her eyes wandering over the GEMs. [color=00ff00]"Somehow, I don’t think the rest of your club would appreciate our help."[/color] She settled her bat on her shoulder and began walking towards Morganite and Pearl. [color=00ff00]"We should get going, Topaz. There’s always next time."[/color]

[color=fab35f]"Yup!"[/color] She looked back at Nocnitsa. [color=fab35f]"You can try these if you want. I don’t usually heal magical girls that banged up."[/color] She pulled out five arrows and stuck them in the dirt where she was standing. Before turning to follow after Diamond, she took Kaeru by the shoulders and kissed her on the cheek. Unbeknownst to her, it would leave some of her lipstick behind. [color=fab35f]"Thanks for the save, darlin’! You’re welcome to visit the City of Light anytime!"[/color] And with a skip, she was off.

With her allies departing, and the Detention club’s presence making things awkward, Boleite rubbed her collar bones. [color=87cefa]"Yea, I’ll catch up with you later, shrine maiden. Maybe back at the shrine?"[/color] She started to walk away, out of Hibusa town’s entrance rather than with the other GEMs.

[color=tomato]"Why are there so many people here? Is it my birthday or am I dying?"[/color]

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

[color=ff6347]"Oh, you woke up."[/color] The disappointment in Oros’s voice was evident. [color=ff6347]"I mean, it’s good that you’re okay, heh!"[/color] 

The rest of the world didn’t exist to Oros. Not the GEMs walking to and fro or the frog girl standing over her. Mostly because she couldn’t lift her head that high right now, but that could change. 

Her blood converged around her severed limbs, and became twisting tendrils. She was able to scoop up Tsubomi and stand up with her, getting both of them onto her feet. Oros almost looked like an octopus attempting to stand, but was actually succeeding at it. [color=ff6347]"Yup! Not just my arms, but my legs too!"[/color] She almost sounded like she was bragging. [color=ff6347]"It’s all coming back to me, slowly. I think I was trying to catch up to you, but I don’t think I was successful."[/color] A groan escaped Oros’s lips. [color=ff6347]"Well, maybe we could go get something sweet to drink? I feel like my blood sugar levels are a little low right now."[/color]

[color=deeppink]"A pot can only boil over so much… Especially when the stove is off."[/color]

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

Willow’s arms went limp and her back became weak. She watched Hizuki work overtime to ensure that she didn’t get a replacement prisoner that she had freed earlier. 

[color=ff1493]"Yea, it looks like you’ve got this under control, ‘partner.’"[/color] Willow turned around and walked towards the other Detention club members. Diamond and Topaz passed her a glance, but she did nothing back.

Morganite, for her part, just looked between the girls in confusion. [color=ffc0cb]"Wuts goin’ on!?"[/color]

Pearl waited a moment for Willow to get some distance before looking at Hizuki. [color=ff69b4]"What’s going on here? You’re willingly helping the Detention club?"[/color] She sighed. [color=ff69b4]"You know they blew up a beach, right? Like, they got together a bunch of beach goers and terrorized them until a giga miseria appeared. Then they killed that miseria using, well, not exactly environmentally friendly attacks. And then they had the nerve to blame [i]us[/i] for not helping [i]them[/i] get stronger."[/color]
