Oros had moved to stand behind Kiyo so that she could see the computer screen. It was an impressive map that Kiyo had made, and she doubted it was the sort of thing you could make in an afternoon while drunk or playing videogames. [color=ff6347]"Oooohhhhh…"[/color] It was also kind of neat to see the map lit up with all the different colored pins. She didn’t know exactly how Kiyo had compiled all that information, but trusted it was probably just as effective as Kiyo seemed to think it was.

Nyxia was the next to speak. Of course, she had a problem with it. But it sounded like a genuine problem. Maybe. [color=ff6347]"Uh, well, the beach vacation we took over the summer wasn’t too bad, right? The night lasts a few hours. We can get pretty far away from Hibusa in that time. Even if it's just a weekly thing, it's gotta be better than what we're doing now."[/color] 

Haruna seemed to favor an alternative approach. One that made Oros raise an eyebrow. Of course there were many, many, [i]many[/i] problems with what Haruna was suggesting. Maybe the other detention club girls would be okay fighting the GEMs, but Oros had no desire to run into them again any time soon. Though if Haruna was that curious, the lot of them could just pound the shit out of Haruna to confirm if that worked or not.

…

Regardless, Oros would not be the one to suggest that idea. 

Things got more theoretical when Suika got involved. Suika seemed to be suggesting some kind of passive farming strategy involving the GEMs killing the miseria for them plus removing Rei from the picture. It was an idea, but could they get Rei to leave? Oros was under the impression that she moved to this location for a specific reason. And about light girls killing miseria…

Shuuko was against all of it though. She started talking about black holes for some reason. Black holes were cool, but it wasn’t something that Oros could really wrap her mind around. A hyperdense mass that had a pull so strong that it pulled in light. By that logic, a black hole should be the brightest thing in the universe. Why was it so dark if it never released its light? If dark girls were black holes, then was the argument that they had more light inside them than light girls? It was interesting, but she didn’t see the value in this comparison. 

Fortunately, Miss second-in-command was there to bring the group back into focus. Sometimes, all you needed to do was strip away all the bullshit and put it out there in plain terms. [color=ff6347]"Yup!"[/color] Oros nodded like a bobble head. [color=ff6347]"It’s all just theory until we can prove any of it. We know we get stronger fighting giga miseria, but this bit of information about Boss Baby sucking the fun out of everything is new. If it turns out to be true, we can try fighting weaker miseria, or miseria that are closer, or letting light girls kill the miseria."[/color] After saying out loud, Oros paused. [color=ff6347]"Actually, it was my understanding that light girls are made of good emotions and they just kind of disintegrate them, where consuming and growing off of dark emotions is a dark magical girl thing. But none of this ever made any real sense to me, so maybe it's best to not think about too hard."[/color] It had been a while since Oros had fought solo as a dark girl. She had watched light girls fight miseria before, but it never made her stronger. [color=ff6347]"Anyway, we can try it, but unless it’s the city of light, I would think there would be some dark girls around that want that power for themselves. They uh, aren’t always the most friendly."[/color] It probably didn't need to be said. Black Gate was a confusing case and Oros still wasn’t sure how to feel about it. [color=ff6347]"But first we need a ride! And one that’s not going to draw a lot of unwanted attention. Or I mean, do we? Short of a bus I don’t think we’re going to find something that comfortably seats everyone and their, uh, accessories."[/color] Oros flicked her eyes to Nyxia’s gun briefly. [color=ff6347]"Aren’t school buses kind of a western thing anyway?"[/color] Even if they weren’t, the previous high school was razed to the ground. Though the new mansion did have a garage to house a car. It was empty, but they’d have a place to store a vehicle if they found one. [color=ff6347]"What about bikes? Motorcycles would be cooler but we're trying to keep a low profile."[/color]
