Miina Malina

Well, this detour was proving a bit disappointing. No time to leverage the opportunity of access to a library, unless she skipped on the matter of sleeping and got as far into it as she could overnight, and there had been eyes on them the entire time they were there. Even though she hadn't really that strong a desire to sneak off (what would she even do with anything?), the attention was… uncomfortable. That level of observation usually meant that she was about to be in a lot of hot water.

But the food was nice, and Miina was amused by how much more nicely people seemed to be treating her than Izayoi or Chisato. That was a first, 'strange little Dranan weirdo' always seemed to get the worst in polite company. But national enmity overcame all that…

They were still treating her much nicer than Miina thought she was supposed to be. Was it the hat?

The Skaelan's arrival was a whirlwind of information that Miina mostly ignored for later: go to Solitude, more Valheim, find crystal. Something something spy stuff; all above her head. But it was nice to have a pretty lady around, even if it was only for a meal, and one that wasn't also her cousin to make looking more… awkward.

But maybe this was why she asked the first question that came to mind, to give the attention a bit more of an excuse.

"H-How could is Skael?"

Fort Magrial

A closer inspection of the outer walls would reveal the distinct signs of ongoing habitation where the occupants were none too concerned about order or keeping refuse central, just tossing it down around the perimeter: animal bones in various states of completeness, picked clean of any scraps of meat, torn scraps of hide, and various broken-looking bits of mismatched ceramic.

It definitely seemed like they'd come to the right place, lack of goblins around the outside wall notwithstanding.

Tachibana Hibiki

Putting herself forward was the obvious thing to do now that it seemed nobody else had any idea what was going on… and it gave Miku some more time to discreetly move aside and make sure that all her clothes were back in position. If this had just happened a few minutes later–

Best not to think about that one.

Aside from her and Miku, there were two unremarkable looking guys and two absolutely adorable looking girls, one of them wearing the fanciest outfit she thought she had seen anybody wear. Once you excluded Carol's robes or some of Maria and Tsubasa's concert outfits, at least. And the girls knew each other, same as her and Miku, but they were brought here separately? And the even smaller one had thought Qingque was somewhere else…

"Sorry, I haven't heard of anywhere called Yuque either," Hibiki said, shaking her head. Not that this meant much, if her test scores were anything to go by, and she'd never been to China except… which side of K2 had they landed on again? That might have been the China side. "But Golden Hour sounds like a restaurant?"

Miku sighed at that. Of course Hibiki would think of food immediately.

Spoke to PKMN about this the other day. Noncombatant Miku's fine to bring along for the ride, so…

Tachibana Hibiki

With the world no longer at threat from ancient priestesses, mad scientists, alchemists, or primordial goddesses (hopefully for good, but at least for the time being), Hibiki was free to resume her ordinary life. Disaster relief instead of fighting, still doing poorly at school, and Miku. Living with Miku, eating with Miku, still sharing a bed as they had done for years now…

It was embarrassing how long it had taken for Hibiki to acknowledge her own feelings and the rather extreme situation required to force this acknowledgement (and the less said about how it may have become worldwide knowledge, the better), but after all that had happened and the number of times she had nearly lost Miku for good, it was just a relief for things between them to finally be in the open. Not that it changed any of the big things between them, they couldn't possibly be closer there.

The little things, though? Finding somewhere out of the way where they weren't going to be interrupted for a little while? That was a new thing for the pair of them, even if Chris would be annoyed when they met back up later (but getting annoyed like that was just her way of showing affection, Hibiki was sure). Even if they'd gotten things quite a bit out of order in other regards, like this, it was an ordinary teenaged romance.

Of course, with all of her attention firmly on Miku and not her surroundings, Hibiki was very reliant on her girlfriend to notice anyone coming. After all, she couldn't see anything except Miku and the wall behind her, and the brunette did everything with the maximum enthusiasm that she could muster – combat, crane games, making out…

So it was, of course, the green-eyed girl that actually noticed the extreme change in their surroundings, pounding at Hibiki's shoulder until the other girl caught on.

And reacted about as well as could be expected in the situation, with at least two random men having shown up first and gotten a rather good chance to look: immediately make space and try to distract from the massive blush on her face.

"Wh-What's going on? Where is this!?" It looked like a nice plaza, but… it wasn't Japan, as far as Hibiki could tell, and she wasn't the best at geography, "Miku, did you see what happened?"

"No, I closed my eyes for a moment and we were here."

… well, maybe one of these other people would notice?

Quille

"No stabbing it, then…" the hunter noted, looking thoughtful, "And we likely need to lure it in."

The lamia seemed confident in her ability to restrain the griffin, and if it came to it, Quille could tie a beast up quite effectively – you didn't live as long as she did and go hunting without getting used to bundling up all sorts of things on the way back. A struggling griffin was rather unusual in the shape department, but if the ropes were strong enough then they ought to have no problems in the long run.

"Could I ask someone else to take the requests? And you, could you get the beef hearts?" Quille asked, singling out the other elf for the shopping trip, "I need to dress properly for the job."

She wanted at least some protection between herself and the weight of a wild animal, not to mention making sure she had all her knives. Plus checking if she had any rope… she might have some; cave spider silk was definitely strong enough to restrain anything natural. Maybe not a dragon.

punch lesbian

• Name: Tachibana Hibiki
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:
  
  Untransformed

  
  
  
  Transformed

  
• Personality: Hibiki is, in the normal course of things, a friendly, hyperactive goof. She's unrelentingly cheerful, prefers to try and avoid conflict through talking, and will generally believe the best of anyone until given a reason to believe otherwise. This is even a pretty accurate assessment of her underlying mood most of the time.
  It's just that when something is getting her down, or bothering her, then she's still going to act exactly the same, as well as continuing to throw herself into harms' way for the sake of everyone else. Despite all she's been through, it isn't really something that's gone away, nor has the lingering survivor's guilt.
  She's also an idiot. While she somehow has moments of tactical brilliance, when it comes to studying or paying attention… well, she wasn't the worst in S.O.N.G. (barely), but it's close. It also took her much, much too long to wise up to her own feelings regarding Miku – even though everyone could see it. Where Miku is concerned, she's actually shockingly selfish given the rest of her demeanour.
  Likes food. A lot.
• Brief History: At age 13, Hibiki attended a Zwei Wing concert. The last Zwei Wing concert. When she was there, Noise attacked, and one of the singers gave her life to protect Hibiki's… even though she didn't get away unscathed, getting a shard of an ancient relic lodged in her chest and uncomfortably near her heart.
  You would think this is enough punishment, but her survival when so many else didn't – including her father's boss's daughter – and the generous payout she received over the resultant medical troubles lead to considerable ostracism and bullying, while her father gradually became an abusive alcoholic before leaving entirely. It was not, on the whole, a particularly good time, and it's no wonder that she ended up going to a boarding school along with her best (and basically only) friend.
  And that's when the events of Symphogear itself happened. In summary, an awful lot of things, but they involve the moon being horribly damaged, diving into a giant laser, punching through K2, punching an alchemical mecha lion, turning into a coccoon, punching through the devil, going to the moon, and deicide.
  Said god then basically gave her and Miku her blessing. And they finally got around to confessing, because Hibiki is stupid and Miku was too reluctant.
• Universe of Origin: Senki Zesshou Symphogear
• Equipment: The only equipment that Hibiki has is the fragment of Gungnir that was turned into a Symphogear. It's a singing-powered magical girl transformation. Also, it provides its own backing track. Get used to ALL LOVES BLAZING.
  It's a small necklace when not in use.
• Abilities: Untransformed, Hibiki has… martial arts. Not any particular style of martial arts, as it's all derived from watching movies with her teacher, but she knows it all the same and has the physical conditioning to use it – much more effectively than one would imagine from a girl of her build, but still nowhere near as impressive as said teacher, and (given her transformation) it's all-in on strikes.
  Transformed, she's stronger, faster, and tougher. All fairly standard. She also has a transforming set of armour that mostly serves to enhance her ability to hit things (or get about) by rockets or just getting much, much bigger. Those are probably overkill for some things, given she can already kick through concrete just with the transformation alone.
  While there are some effects that aren't relevant, Gungnir is also a god-killing spear, and as a result Hibiki is entirely capable of inflicting lethal damage to the divine. Most notably, this negates how divine power would be used to regenerate within her world – essentially pulling from alternate undamaged realities – but it doesn't seem to stop anything else from straight healing or regrowing when damaged.
  While it has one still-remaining powered up mode, X-Drive takes an enormous amount of phonic gain (song powered, remember?) and it, and its flight abilities, are unlikely to make an appearance. It also has the superb song… which is basically one very short-lived and massive power boost at the cost of enormous backlash on herself. Even with Hibiki's compatibility, it's a bad choice without other Symphogear users to share the burden.
• Other: 17, taken just after the end of XV.

The Metian Institute: Project Gungnir

Cellica climbed up the rope without effort, giving the blue mist a curious look. "If we clear it, would we not have a better idea of its source and whether that can be plugged?"

It seemed to be a rather banal aerosol for the time being; if it couldn't permeate a solid barrier then they ought to be able to clear a path until they found the original cause of the mist and shut it down – or opened another path through. That, of course, relied on the assumption that it wasn't incredibly corrosive… but in that case, what was protecting the decaying infrastructure of the ruins? Simply blocking it should suffice for their purposes.
