[color=SpringGreen]“That is most courageous of you, but I would still prefer not to risk even your substitute body when a few vine tendrils could easily serve in that role,”[/color] the verdant maiden told him. [color=SpringGreen]“After all, if something were to happen to your vessel, it would take no small amount of time and effort to allow you to rejoin us in a similar fashion.”[/color] Meanwhile, Connie’s mask also formed an appreciative smile when Lily took her hand. It was a great blessing to have made such a kind friend, although the timid girl could do without the bubbly greenette’s impulsive hyperactivity. Giving a small gasp as Lily pulled her forward to look inside the stone walrus head’s gaping maw, the masked maiden gave voice to an alarmed cry when she, too, noticed the menacing oyster-creatures, one only slightly stifled by quickly raising a trembling hand to cover her mouth. [color=SpringGreen]“Hmmm… That does indeed seem to be quite the problematic obstacle…”[/color] Gaia concurred with a thoughtful frown as she joined Lily and Connie in front of the opening, the botanical beauty’s graceful fingers giving her dismayed best friend’s shoulders a comforting massage. [color=SpringGreen]“While I might be able to neutralize them myself, I believe my dearest Connie’s nightmare magic would be more effective in that regard,”[/color] she added. [color=SpringGreen]“Do you think you can trap them in a nightmare deep enough so that they won’t awaken while Branch Nose and I retrieve them, little sister?”[/color] the nymph-like magical girl inquired. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-I can t-try,”[/color] Connie replied with as much determination as she could muster, despite her clear trepidation. Taking a deep breath, the masked maiden gathered her mystic power, raised a trembling hand, and fired a focused pulse of nightmare energy down the narrow passage. With luck, it would ensure that none of the oyster-creatures would emerge from their now far less pleasant slumber any time soon.

At this point I would perhaps try to pad out the rest of this section with the rambling lyrics for this song, but since I don’t want to subject anyone to that level of torture, I shall refrain. If, for whatever masochistic reason you wish to imagine what said song sounds like, just think of a hellish hybrid of the most annoying song from a children's show you’ve ever heard and the most sickeningly kawaiiko song the most sickeningly kawaiiko anime girl idol has ever sang. [s]Though I’m sure nobody reading this is actually crazy enough to want to do that.[/s]
