[b]Dead Heart Shooter[/b] For a few moments, Dead Heart Shooter was completely oblivious to the new arrival. Instead, she stared blankly up at her Master for a few moments. Life-like? That didn't make sense, she was alive... but her Master was complimenting her, so sense and logic didn't matter! Instead, the silver-haired Doll simply smiled cheerfully and opened her mouth to speak again... and then felt her Master's finger poke her in the cheek. For a moment she simply shut her mouth, and couldn't help but feel bewildered... then, the excitement returned. Her Master had willingly touched her! ... In a confusing way, but still! There was no way there could be anything bad about that at all! "Of course, I'm alive! So I would have to be lifelike!" said Dead Heart Shooter, "What's your name, Master? I'm sure it's beautiful and wonderful and perfect and-" It was at this point that she finally realized that someone else was approaching. Her arms still wrapped tightly around her Master, Dead Heart Shooter looked over her shoulder, perplexed. It was some guy... and from what she could tell, he was a Doll too. Hmph. Talking about her power and everything... she didn't care! She only cared if it was her Master. "Friend? I don't know you." She frowned, slightly, but after a few moments her smile returned. She did have something good to say! "I was protecting my lovely Master, so of course I had to be strong!" ---- [b]VV[/b] VV stretched her arms. Her punishment had really shaken up her Master... good! That way, she would remember the proper pronunciation of her name for sure. And hey, she was kind of cute getting all embarrassed like that. But whatever. This was definitely the kind of person she'd need to keep a close eye on. As she shuffled away, saying how she needed to get home, VV calmly strolled up to Esperanta and scooped her back into a bridal carry. "No way am I letting you just wonder home by yourself. Look at all these bandages! You'd just fall and break your neck or something if I go leaving you alone." It was so easy, really, picking her up like this. And why not? Esperanta was hers, so there was no problem with carrying her around like this. It was almost surprising how easy it was to pick a human up. You would think they'd struggle or something. Then again, they just weren't as powerful as Dolls, were they? So maybe they just didn't bother struggling. It wasn't like VV was going to hurt her. Unless she did something stupid. Then it was punishment time. After getting the directions to the girl's restaurant, VV took the quick rode. Placing one foot on a nearby wall, she pushed up... and the air rushed around them as she hurtled into the air. It rushed upwards, in the opposite direction, as she neatly landed on the rooftop, still holding her Master tightly. "Don't wiggle. Seriously." VV broke into a sprint. The air whipped around them. It wasn't too far to Esperanta's restaurant, but this was a lot quicker then taking the streets below... And indeed, it wasn't much longer before they landed out front of the restaurant. "Oi, do you have any sweets around here?" VV asked, as she barged in without hesitation, "I could really go for a snack after taking out that Puppeteer and running you back here." ---- [b]Annabelle[/b] Annabelle couldn't help but blankly stare at this ridiculous introduction. What... what even was going on. This was not anything sensible or logical. And then... there was a blast of heat and light, and she flinched... but then it was just gone like nothing had happened. What had even exploded?! Slowly, she managed to get to steady herself after all of... this. It was insane, and completely illogical, and none of it made any sense at all! So... so it had to be a dream, right? Annabelle had to be dreaming. she'd wake up back at home, surrounded by maids or something. That was what was going on. It had to be. ... As long as she was dreaming... "W-well... I'm... I'm Annbelle, and..." she paused, unsure of how to continue her own introduction. Her voice trailed off for a few moments, and finally the sheer ridiculousness of the situation meant she couldn't hold off any longer, "... I'd... thank you for saving me, but this is just a dream. I'll be waking up soon. I... I mean, I guess it's polite to thank you even if you're just part of a dream, but this is all so ridiculous..."
