Chrono Harlaown has posed:
Chrono Harlaown was... relatively relaxed. For him.

So not at all.

He was doing morning PT. Start the day with a jog, as you do. Having worked up a bit of a sweat and in his gym uniform. Hup hup hup hup. Fenyx was lazily flying besides him, more casually coasting along. Being the relaxed, calming soldier he always was, he was more than happy to, eventually, come to a stop and wipe some of the sweat from his brow and hold out his arm, allowing Fenyx to glide down and rest on his arm, giving a very light chirp.

"Okay, so I imagine today we'll do a nice search of the fourth sector. We haven't looked there in a while and there's no telling on if one of them has popped up during the time away."

Fenyx gave a light chirp before nodding, flying up into the air and circling over him while he did a few more stretches, then started jogging again.

Yup, today was going to be a nice, calming, relaxing day. He could feel it in his bones and when were his instincts ever wrong?

Scorn has posed:
Scorn is back in the park, trying to convince a crow to come down out of a tree in the cold winter morning. "Here birdy birdy birdy...!" she would say as she tried to convience the crow to come down and then she began cursing at it in explevitives. That's when she saw another bird, high in the sky where did that come from...oh...

That short boy had his own bird!? That wasn't fair! How is that fair that this shorty short short boy has a bird and she doesn't!? She stompped on over and then flailed dramatically. "GIVE ME YOUR BIRD! It's pretty and if It can't talk, it can after I fill it with dark energy!" she says as she placed her hands on Chrono's shoulders and pushed him back wards.

"You know what, screw it! LET THE FUTURE IN THE MIRROR BECOME TERRIBLE...." she called out as she threw her hands out in either direction, mirrors coleascing into existence around Chrono until one stuck, trapping him inside the mirror as she turned around and threw her hand out to the right. "Please come out, come out, my terribad!" she muttered.

A bright flash of purple light and a purple scarfed terribad appeared! Dressed like Chrono in his Barrier Jacket!? Spikes and all, turning into the ENFORCERBAD. "TERRIBAD!" screams the terribad!

"Now, come here, birdy birdby birdy, we're going home and you'll be even prettier and and and---" she trailed off into babble about it.

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    Chrono is not the only one out for a run this morning. Less out of PT and more out of a sense of Niji woke up and had more energy in her body than could possibly be evicted through simply sitting around the dorms, so she was... not so much running as she was kind of parkouring around Tokyo, leaping over guard rails and balancing on thin walls and also cartwheeling on them and generally being a bit of a nuisance even. She could see the slide from here and was already planning to jump up there and slide down it when she felt a buzzing and came to a stop. She pulled out her phone. No messages, no calls. "Weird." Then the buzzing happened again, along with a blue light. "...Oh." she says, looking down at her geode. "I guess that's exercise too..."

    And that was about when she could see the Enforcerbad towering over the treeline. "Oh. Well. I guess that makes it easy. Black jacket spiked shoulders silly glasses. Yep." she says, before ducking behind a tree to henshin.

    Geode Girl Loyalty zooms through the treeline to come to a stop in front of the Terribad and Scorn, pointing an accusatory finger at... both of them. Two fingers, she's got two hands! "I don't know what you're doing but I know it's bad, and that's okay because that's all I need to know." she yells. "So I'm gonna stop you because that's what I do and I do it well!" Well. She was at least direct. Also that Terribad looked a lot bigger this close. It's fist was the size of her! "Uhhh. Just a sec."

    A rainbow blur takes the place of the Geode Girl for a few moments... a bit of awkward silence... then she's back, with her trusty baseball bat. And looks at it. And the Terribad. "I think I need to get a bigger bat." she mumbles.

    But there's a boy! In a mirror! So she's gonna save him! Probably! Even if he was the one who met her parents and in some way it might be more convinent if... he just stayed in the mirror maybe. Way less awkward, yeah.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
Iona just happened to have a bad feeling. That bad feeling was totally something being wrong in the cards, and not a persistent nagging in the back of her mind over having left Scorn alone without Corvus or the second Corvus. Ok, it really was the second, but what else could they do? They really couldn't afford to leave a Terribad free to rampage, no matter how dejected Scorn was feeling.

The knowledge they were in the right still doesn't help Iona feel any better about it. How could she? Haruna is probably afraid, and alone. That was a very easy condition to be sympathetic towards. She really needs a walk to find some calm. The park sounds like a good idea. She can even burn off the stress with some jogging.

Though before she can get to that point, Scorn's scream does shake Iona off her thoughts, even if it doesn't really help with the heavy feeling in her stomach.

The star of hope that glitters in the night sky! Cure Fortune!

And just like that, the Precure is out from behind the trees that were covering for her, and addressing the Crow Witch. "Scorn! This is enough, you can't hurt any random people out of jealousy! Let us help you instead!" she exclaims, eyeing with nervousism the unusual getup of the Terribad.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Things have been calm the past few days, mostly. After that Christmas Eve incident. Maybe the bad guys need a holiday break too?

    She's coming back from the dining hall on her way to her dorm when suddenly, Terribad towering in the distance! Welp.

    Puella Magi Rozzi Amy leaps onto the scene, and points at Scorn dramatically as she opens her mouth to give a sp--

    "Why is it dressed like Chrono?!" She looks over and sees that there's a boy in the mirror. (Never a good thing, that u_u)

    "Well, uh... Chrono, if you can hear me, Puella Magi Rozzi Rossa is here to help!" She tries that out to see how it sounds.

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
"Wait. Aren't you... haven't we met?" Chrono asked. She did look familiar. "And no, you can't have Fenyx. She's my familiar, not just a--"

And then he was shoved. Okay. Fine. Let's go, girl.

Chrono drew his device's card and--

MIRRORS! OKAY HE KNEW WHAT THIS WAS! He ducked back from the first, but the second grabbed him! Unable to henshin in time, he appeared in the mirror and...

<< I can speak and I have no desire to be filled with dark energy. >>

... IT WAS A PSYCHIC BIRD! It could talk in her BRAIN SPACES! Fenyx landed on the mirror and then... looked up at the terribad. And had an anime sweatdrop. Oh dear. Yeah. No. She couldn't deal with this. She raised her wings up, from on top of the mirror, and a little flame erupted from her. << You, lady, have imprisoned the boss! For that, I have no choice but to... Let them deal with you. You'll never catch me! >> And then she flew up and tried to flee! Gahhhh! Crazy bird general lady! Such a good, loyal birb.

... The reality was, however, that there were multiple sparkle skirts arriving! She was certain they could deal with the terribad. In the meantime, she was going to try and lead the general through the park, diving down and flying juuuuust above the grass as she flew around the trees, trying to make the lady chase after her.

<< Please let the boss know to let me know when he's out. >> she sent that message to the sparkle skirts!

She, for one, had absolute confidence in the other magical girls... which was why she tucked in her wings and spun, slipping through a fence and continuing on towards the playground equipment.

Scorn has posed:
Scorn flails up at the bird and starts hovering upwards in a spiral and starts to chase after Fenyx. "Come back here. Your owner is in a mirror that means you're mine now!" she said as she floated after the bird, successfully distracted.

Meanwhile, the ENFORCEBAD yells "Terribad!" and calls forth a bunch of energy balls, that begin to strike out against the various sparkle skirts that are approaching!

That's when Scorn looks down at Cure Fortune and Geode Girl Loyalty. "Ugh, go get a life or something, I'm trying to get this damn, psychic bird!" she says dramatically.

She has her Terribad hover up with her as it continues to unleash energy ball after energy orb, kind of like Stinger Snipes, but not really. It's really faking it, really.

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    "You're the one that needs to go get a life. Or maybe a like, real job? And then go to a pet store and buy a bird? Instead you're trying to steal somebody else's." GGLoyalty responds.

    She turns her head. "Oh! Rozzi Rossa, that's a cool name. It's like... red red, I guess?" Niji speaks good enough Japanese, and nothing else. She takes her hand off the bat to give the Puella Magi a thumbs up.

     "Cure Fotrune's a cool name too." she adds, because it is a fair bit better to her than Geode Girl Loyalty. Cure Loyalty would fit right in, wouldn't it? Can she ask for a name - oh right energy balls are flying at her she realizes. She dodges two but dodging never beat up any monsters so on the third ball that comes her way she grounds herself and tries to send it back with her bat! This is... well, maybe it's a good idea, but some of the residual energy absolutely channels through the bat to her too and she shrieks out. But maybe she can return the thing to sender!

Iona Hikawa has posed:
Ok, so, the bird is actually a familiar. And she is trying to help with distracting Scorn. She can even get messages into their heads, or at least she assumes it's the familiar, but who else could have that kind of request?

<<Does this work? Are you hearing me?>> She decides to see if she can answer back. If she receives an affermative answer, she continues. <<The three of us got everything under control here and will relay your message. Be careful with Scorn, your master wouldn't be happy if you got hurt!>> Or so she assumes, she doesn't even know him.

Who she does know is at least one of the magical girls that have decided to intervene today, so Iona knows what to expect from her fighting style.

"Nice to see you, Red! Let's send this Terribad packing!" she greets her.

Before she can say something to the other girl (at least to explain the situation), the rainbow-haired fighter has disappeared in a blur and she is back with a baseball bat. Did she teleport or is she actually that fast? "That was super fast", she decides, before throwing out the due warnings. "That is a Terribad, a youma created out of the person the Phantom Empire traps in mirrors. We need to exhaust It and then purify it to free that boy!"

"Do you realise what that looks like?" Iona tells Scorn as she parries the enerby balls sent her way and tries punching them back to the Terribad. Ow, that hurts. Punching energy spheres isn't really her brightest idea. "You are the one that chases self-destructive habits. This isn't actually going to help you, and I think you know it."

"Thank you, Loyalty! Your name is impressive as well." And there are lots of unofficial Cures if she feels like joining the club. Noone is going to bat an eye if she takes on an unofficial nickname.

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
<< I can hear you but not for long! Thanks, I'll be-- >>

Whatever she said past that would be unknown, because it was then she went out of range. She could focus on flight or focus on talking. She chose the former.

With the general flying after her, she dove under the penguin slide, moving into the little covered area beneath it! Oh no!

She was trapped! The bird would be on the opposite end of it, helplessly trapped! LEH GASP!

... Until Scorn came in there, and came close enough to grab her and, as the hands would reach out... She'd burst into flame and rocket out between Scorn's legs, living up to her namesake and hopefully annoying the dark general as she tried to get away.

<< Have you considered a pigeon? >> She asked Scorn.

Amanda Faust has posed:
> Your owner is in a mirror that means you're mine now!
    "That's not how anything works!"

> Red red?
    "It's 'Magical Girl Rocket Red' in another language. Although I think I like Magical Rocket Girl Red more, but I figured I had to try saying it this way at least once."

    Amy... Red turns to Scorn and holds her hands up in a 'what?' gesture. "Really? I show up to stop you for like the what--" she starts dodging energy balls and firing rockets back at the Chronobad. "Sixth? Seventh?" FWOOMF BOOM "Eighth? time and get nothing?" FWOOMF, BOOM "I mean, not that I like you trying to kill me but being ignored after you used to hate me so much is just weird." FWOOMFBOOM!

Scorn has posed:
"YES IT WILL HELP ME AND I HAVE AN AMAZING LIFE!" she sputters out at the sparkle skirts as she lifts her hand and fires a bolt of dark energy at the bird, trying to ground it. "Come back here, be physic for me." she demands as she keeps firing.THw bird is probably nimble enough to dodge all her shots however.

Geode Girl Loyalty's homerun hit flies into the terribad! It knocks it back easily a few feet as it doesn't fall, but steadies itself. Cure Fortune punches energy balls back at the being however and this is enough to send it flying backwards, in conjunction with Amy's Rockets.

Scorn then attempts to GRAB Fenyx and then off she goes between her legs and Scorn tumbles in the air around a bit as she turns around and angrily chases after Fenyx, now at a loss of distance. "PIGEONS ARE BASICALLY FLYING RATS!" she insists.

"Coo?" goes a nearby pigeon.

Then Amy speaks up and she cries. "I WANT THAT BIRD MORE THAN I WANT TO KILL YOU SO BAD!" she says angrily. "Need that bird..." she says more lonesomely suddenly,

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    "Must not be that amazing if you can't get a parrot or something." Niji says. "A parrot could both be a bird and insult you, so you wouldn't need to fight at all!" she calls.

    Okay. RedRed there with the launcher. Bird's okay. Fortune's blasts and the returned orb hits the Terribad. Scorn, though, her sad tone, her desperate reaching... despite the fact that Loyalty just dissed her, because Loyalty has no need for consistency in her world - she zips over to Scorn. "Hey, what's this all about, anyways." she asks. And... perhaps ill-avisedly, she starts trying to consistently get between Scorn and the bird. She doesn't know what's going on. She doesn't know the source of Scorn's frustration or desperation. "Maybe stop trying to steal other people's stuff and we can help you with whatever it is you need! But we can't help you if you're going around making giant monsters and stomping around the city. Like. You're obviously hurting, and we can help, if you stand down and unsummon the goofy monster thing and let us..." she offers.

    Getting between Scorn and the bird may not be the safest place to be, though.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
How the communication ended is a tad worrisome for Iona, but she has to trust the bird knows what she is doing. And the sooner they get the boy out of that mirror the better.

They are making progress on that front at least. The Terribad is all the way over there thanks to hers and Razzo Rosso's combined attacks. She gives the other magical girl a thumbs up over it before going back to dedicating her attention to the Youma.

Loyalty wants to know what this is all about, and Iona is quick to explain this part too. "Scorn lost a familiar she was very attached to, and is feeling dejected because of it. But that familiar was just purified from the dark energy, so we are trying to get Scorn to see that would be better for her too." She isn't sure whether to explain she is Haruna yet.

She will move closer now and hopefully get it good while it's down. Spinning the dial on her Love PreBrace, she gathers energy in her fist. "Fortune Star Burst!" In a fiery explosion, the momentum brings her over to the Terribad, potentially striking it with the explosive fist.

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
Fenyx was very nimble, it came with being magic bird. Unfortunately, she did not have eyes in the back of her head and one of the blasts grazed her wing, making her take a tumble. She yelped, landing on her back and disorienting herself for a moment, before rolling back over and shaking her head.

<< You... are not wrong! Pigeons are kind of jerks. >> Well, now that she was on the ground... she darted into the the jungle gym! Ha! It was like a tiny prison thing! Let's see the general get into here! Okay, it wouldn't be hard, but it would hopefully slow her down.

<< Have you considered a penguin? Penguins are pretty nice. They're like birds AND fish at the same time. >> Fenyx, at least, liked fish. Fish were cool. Some even tasted nice. And they were at penguin park.

And once Scorn came close enough for another grab attempt... Fenyc would try to peck her hands!

Amanda Faust has posed:
> I want the bird more than I want to kill you
    "That's... honestly kind of disturbing! Are you okay? I don't know exactly what happened, but I don't think this is healthy!"

    Amy looks at Scorn with concern. "I don't know what happened, but is a stolen pet really the answer? Wouldn't it be more yours if it were only yours, a bird you took in and cared for?"

    If the Terribad stands up again, Amy glances at it and points the launcher at it one-handed without even turning her body or changing stance or anything. There's no backblast this time, somehow.

Scorn has posed:
Scorn would try to grab at Fenyx and get her hand pecked. Hey ow. Quit it. What did she expect when she tried to grab any bird anyways!? But then Geode Girl Loyalty is suddenly between her and the bird and she holds her hand and splutters in utter confusion. "First you guys steal my bird and then you wanna help me deal with the loss because you guys stole my bird!?" she asks as if the arrogance of these people is physical and it's ugly and she just doesn't understand.

She throws her hand upwards and summons up a dramatic storm of wind in the area, trying to blow Loyalty and Fortune and Amy away--- Fenyx might also get caugh up in the giant wind tunnel. It's filled with black feathers

The Terribad manages to get back up, but it takes another rocket, and a dramatic burst of a punch from Amy and Fortune, being sent flying back, but it too, is buffeted by Scorn's windstorm, knocking it over again as the ENFORCEBAD is unable to keep it's footing in the dramatic wind storm.

"GO. AWAY!" she screams across the wind storm. "OR GIVE ME BACK MY BIRD!"

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
Fenyx couldn't help it. She pecked the crud out of Scorn's hands. << Tasty my feathery vengeance! I am but a feather on the wind! I am impeckable! >> she cried defiantly.

And now, she was guarded by another winged creature. Albeit, a human. Yessss. She was safe, she was secure, she was--

OH GOSH WINDS, HER ONE WEAKNESS! She desperately tried to steady herself, flapping wildly, but alas, she was sent flying in all directions, swirling in the winds! Noooo!

<< Loyaltycatchme! >>

What?

A moment later the bird would, bodily, slam into Niji.

Boof. Well. She was a bird. She weighed like... 2 pounds. The fact she was landing chest, not beak, first helped as well.

<< I take it back. You are a more dangerous adversary than I initially believed, weird bird lady. >>

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    "What?" Loyalty asked out loud. She had to drop the bat entirely because while Fenyx was not a large bird, she was a two-handed-catch bird. And the bird was more important than beating Scorn - or preventing herself from getting beaten.

    Now, Loyalty was a lot heavier than a bird - but she had wings too, and the tornado wasn't being nice to them. "Ow, that hurts?" she cried out - not at Fenix, but at Scorn. Eventually she had to crouch down and then shoot off to get out of the wind-tornado, poor little Fenyx in her arms, though her flying is a bit lopsided for a moment. "You know I'm not used to feeling pain in parts of my body I normally don't have!" she calls out, grouching to... well, whoever, really.

    "Rozzirossa, I don't think it's a good idea for her to want to steal birds *or* kill you. She shouldn't want to do either..." she calls. "But it doesn't sound like they stole your bird at all, Scorn. It sounds like they cured it of the same Dark Energy that's making you so grumpy!" she calls. "I hear that's fixable, you know! I bet if you ditch the bad energy, your bird will return! Then nobody has to steal anything!" she adds.

    Right now she's cradling Fenyx, and kind of flapping her wings like they're legs she's stretching after an injury on the field. She's gotta be ready to jump off if Scorn, or Scorns windnado, starts towards her again.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
Fenyx is doing a very good job keeping Scorn distracted, she deserves lots of commendation for that one. Iona probably can't see the tumble the bird just had to do, else she would probably seal the Terribad in place and go over to check how she is doing. Still, Fenyx isn't really relenting, so things are good.

Amy requires an explanation too, and once she is done with her Star Burst, she will take care of that. "Scorn's familiar got purified, and is back with its family. If we can convince Scorn to do the same, that would be better for her."

And of course, Scorn has strong opinions about their role in the matter. "That's not it, Scorn. We just want you to be back with your family. Gully-chan is happy, and you can be too! You just need need to take that simple step, and Aki and Gully-chan both miss you severely", Iona tries to encourage her. Surely, their feelings will get through to her sooner or later, right?

The giant wind tunnel blows Iona away in the sky, leaving the Precure to try to resist the push of the attack as the bow on her back turns into wings. It takes her a while, among several maneuvers (can the black feathers not get in the way? she is trying to see where she is going), but eventually she is in place.

"Fortune Thunderbolt!" The crackling star she creates with the Fortune Tambourine flies above the Terribad for her and releases its thunderous energy downwards.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    "I didn't steal your bird, I barely know what happAAAH!" Amy is sent flying in a wind tunnel of feathers, smacking into the Terribad and tumbling over it onto the ground behind it as it falls back down. "I DON'T HAVE YOUR BIRD, LADY!"

    Fortune is shouting what should be encouraging things, but... "Saying those names is only gonna make her madder... can you purify the Terribad?"

Scorn has posed:
Scorn is upset and saying those names just upset her even more, as Amy suggested. She yells something unintelligible into the storm as she keeps it up, before she speaks more clearly, screaming still. "DON'T YOU DARE CALL HER MY SISTER. SHE ISN'T. AND CORVUS IS JUST GOING THROUGH A DUMB PHASE!" she yells as she clenches her fists and with a powerful throw, throws the powerful storm outwards in a push at the heroes.

But that's the last of the storm as she lets it force out. She then floats in the air and sort of hangs there limply. "You don't know what it's like to be alone anyways...!" she says as she nrrggss. "FORGET IT! I'LL TRY SOMETHING ELSE!" she suddenly says as she duskports away!? She duskports away. Not even waiting to see the finish of her terribad. Which...

Is currently on it's back, being blown over again by Scorns own indiscriminate attack, and being pounded by the thunderous force of Fortune's attack as it screams weakly. "TERRIBAD!?"

Oh no, it's all alone and ready for purification for sure!

Iona Hikawa has posed:
Iona is mortified when Scorn still denies Aki, but she doesn't have time to dwell on it, as she barely dodges the second storm attack, and that's only because she has already seen it once.

"Well, I can purify it, but only if it's exhausted", Iona starts explaining to Amy. "And it does look like it", she confirms relieved as the Terribad weakly says its name.

<<Hey, uh... Sorry I don't know your name, but you are going to have your master back soon!>> Iona tries to communicate to Fenyx just in case she is back in range thanks to Loyalty.

"Light of the stars, turn into sacred power! Love PreBrace!" Energy starts swirling around her fists as she rotates them, before turning into a star above her head as she raises her arms high.

"PreCure Stardust Shoot!" With a simple swing of her arms, the star flies at speed towards the Terribad, catching the youma into itself and purifying it. "Stars, return to the Heavens!"

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
Fenyx was saved! Thanks little blue winged girl! Who loyally caught her. << I don't care, or know, how silly your name is. You're still a good human. Loyalty is a good virtue. >>

Now that the winds had calmed, she flew up and out of the grip, flying over towards the mirror... soon... the boss would come out and she would need to catch him.

For which, she adopted her human form. The tall woman ready to catch the boy when he fell out and...

...

......

.........

"It dawns on me, if I had just taken this form to begin with, the bird lady may not have pursued me so heavily..." Welp. She'd just make a note of that for later.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Too late, Scorn is mad! But she leaves in a huff, which is better than leaving in a minute and a huff. Now the tired Terribad is just waiting to be finished off. It didn't even get to vent whatever psychological issue Chrono is currently dealing with!

    Amy stands up and pats its shoulder sympathetically, then steps back as the purification hits!

    Also that bird just turned into a lady. Amy blinks. "Wait, so are you a bird or a human? ...Or is that a dumb question?"

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    aaaand there's the tornado coming at her that Loyalty was worried about. She's really glad she didn't have to like... figure out how to use wings. That came naturally to her. But they still hurt from the stupid tornado buffeting them. Turns out things designed to catch air do in fact catch air. She dodges along with Fenyx, and after that the bird flew out of her grip and became more of a... bird lady? "You don't see that every day." Loyalty remarked. "Well, actually, maybe some of us do?" she said, scratching her head.

    She kind of just watches as Cure Fortune unleashes her purifying blast from her brace. "Yeah, I'm absolutely starting to think I might be missing something. You have a magic gauntlet that shoots start beams." she points out. "Rozzi's got a freakin' rocket launcher." she kind of shakes her geode. "where's my sword, or can I just pull a cannon out of thin air or something?!" The geode remains rock-silent. "Ugh. Where's my bat..." she says, starting to look on the ground for it.

    "Oh, right, yeah. Everybody okay?" she asks, looking around.

Scorn has posed:
The Terribad gets purified, and Chrono is freed from his mirrored coffin prison. The mirror dissapating around him as the terribad turns into black dust. "R..Relaxxxxxing." it goes peacefully.

Scorn is nowhere to be seen. She's probably sulking back in Queen Mirage's castle already, vibing down the joint. She isn't coming back to this fight!

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
Chrono Harlaown came out from the mirror... just in time for Fenyx to catch him. He groaned, looking up at her in confusion. "What... happened?"

"You were mirrored," Fenyx said.

".... that sucked," Chrono said, before glancing around. "All targets were eliminated?"

"They have fled the perimeter, boss."

"Good," Chrono said before glancing around. He held out his arm and a moment later the bird became, well, his bird once more. "Thank you everyone for assisting in this encounter. I will get a full detailed report from Fenyx about it later."

Fenyx, meanwhile, chirped before landing on his arm. He then glanced back towards Amy. "Yes, Fenyx is a bird, one I made my familiar. My partner on this planet."

Then, slow, deep breath before he sighed. "And this is why I used to do my PT in henshin."

<< Still a waste of magic. >>

"........." He eyed the fairy that just sneezed out some trading cards. You know what? Fenyx likely wasn't... that weird all things considered.

"And a pleasure to see you again, Loyalty, Red. And ummmm..." He glanced to Fenyx. "Cure Fortune, was it?"

He was mirrored at the time of her arrival, so he'd missed the name.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
Now that the purifying is done, Glasan shows herself, going over to Fortune in a hurry. "I feel the power of a vigourous hip-hop dance!", the purple fairy exclaims, poking her nose forward. "Rub it please!" "Rub-rub", Iona says as she complies, causing Glasan to laugh and sneeze as PreCards appear out of her backpack. "You are one step closer to your great hope!", the fairy announces happily before putting them in the PreCard Decor.

"Thanks, Glasan", Cure Fortune says as she flies down, landing to the ground next to Fenyx with a '"clack of her shoes. "Are you all right?" she asks concerned. "Scorn didn't hurt you, did she?"

And then she turns into a human form, and Iona is left staring up at her. "Uh, wow", is her reaction to the transformation. "That's certainly useful to have. Oh, by the way, what should I call you?" she finally asks.

"I am all right, thanks", she replies to Loyalty. "Maybe it's a matter of training?" Iona suggests when the rainbow-haired girl laments the lack of a weapon. "If you exercise more with your powers, I am sure you will get one, and if you want I can even get you a training regimen." Yes, the training that is quite unconventional'" when it comes to magic.

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    "Well, I think..." Loyalty began. "That my powers are actually pretty cool. I probably just need to use them smarter, or something." she says. "It's probably a me thing. Though... oh my goodness, that is so cute!" she says, pointing to Glassan. "It's adorable but it also looks like it's trying to be tough." she says. grinning.

    "I think... I recognize some of you from the place with the meeting and all. Maybe?" she tilts her head. "I really need to get better at like. Networking or whatever it's called. Buuuuut every time there's a magic fight I'm in the middle of something or have somewhere to be. This is crazy annoying." she says, scratching the back of her head. "Anyways, I'm *mumblemumble* Loyalty, but everybody just calls me Loyalty and I think that's easier anyways." she says. "And I think there's... Fortune... and Rozzirose... I think I've met you both but I know I've met rocket-awesome there before."

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Did that fairy just sneeze cards out of its back. What. Amy looks down at her hands. She pulls out her phone and confirms that she can read it and go to apps just fine. OK, she was not knocked unconscious when she hit the Terribad and is not having a weird dream where Chrono's bird turns into a human and Cure Fortune's fairy does... that. She puts the phone back in its pouch.

    Loyalty remarks on weapons. "I'm OK. And you're not a Puella Magi... I guess all the Cures have weapons, and Yellow Pearl Voice has her E-Pitch -- the microphone -- but I don't think the Sailor Senshi all have weapons. What kind of Magical Girl are you?"

    Amy taps her chin thoughtfully. "Have you tried holding out your hands--" she poses thusly, "--and shouting 'Magic Rainbow Heart Attack!' or something?" She stands normally again. "Maybe you have magic attacks."

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    "I have no idea. I've never met another Geode Girl." she says, shrugging. "No magical talking cats or glasses wearing fairies, either. I'm just kinda figuring it out as I go along." she continues.

    "It's just when I'm staring down something with a fist as big as my whole... me... I start to think I might want a bazooka or something. Or throwing javelins. But... usually they're not as scary as they look. Most thing aren't. And if they are, they can't catch me." she says. "It's usually the stuff my size - Scorn, Lacrima, Sunbaker, Catra - that are more dangerous anyways." she admits.

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
Chrono Harlaown glanced between the girls and started mentally catagorizing and... "Perhaps a 'Geode Girl' is an offset of the sailor senshi?" Chrono offered. "After all, they tend... actually, most of the ones I know do use weapons as well. Hm. Perhaps it's like the bat? Rather than having weapons from your body, instead everything you touch becomes a weapon? Next time, perhaps try picking up a rock and throwing it to see how effective it is."

Well, some poor villain was gonna get a rock to the head later. "Or a sling. At your speeds, a rock thrown with a sling would likely be more dangerous than an enchanted bazooka."

He was going to go out on a limb, though, and assume she wasn't a part of the culinary guardians.

"... There really are a lot of sparkle skirts, huh?" Then urked. "I-I mean types of wielders of... ugh... Sparkle skirts really is an effective term for it, isn't he?" Chrono asked, as hand moving to his forehead while he shook his head.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
"Yes, that's me", Iona confirms to Chrono. "How do you feel? Any weirdness or unpleasant feeling?" He just got out of the mirror, she would tell Chrono to sit down if her familiar wasn't busy dealing with him.

"Since her power is speed, something she can use while running like a bat would actually be a good idea", she brings her own suggestion. "So, she can try to focus on her magical energy while running and see what shows up. But your method sounds good too", Iona finishes replying to Amy.

"Throwing a rock if she can go really fast is going to hurt regardless", she mentions. "It might be even worse than being hit by a speeding truck, honestly", Iona starts pondering.

"I have never heard of sparkleskirt, where did you hear it from?" she adds, motivated by curiosity.

Niji Dasshu has posed:
Loyalty shakes her head.     "Nah, I threw all sorts of stuff at Sunbaker and her star-youma. I think once stuff leaves my hands it's all normal speed." she says. "I don't know how it works that way. Magic. I can throw a whole *lot* of things. And I can use the bat fine, but it doesn't seem to get most of my speed, either." she says, tilting her head. "I'm pretty strong normally, so it still gets attention, but it's also kind of a bad deal for not monsters. I don't wanna be the magical girl that cracks skulls that don't need to be cracked, you know?"

    "Though there was that one time I ran really fast and there was an explosion like somebody tipped over a paint store. I may have to try that again." she mused.

    "But... till then I'll just keep showing up and be as helpful as I can. The more of us girls are around the faster I can go, at least. Who knows how the magic rock works?" Certainly not Niji.

Chrono Harlaown has posed:
Chrono Harlaown nodded. "I feel mostly fine. I've got the urge to go for a run, though. If I can be entirely honest. I think I will. But, to answer your question... the Sparkle Skirts is a term I've heard used by some of our enemies to define those who oppose them. Primarily due to the wide number of sparkles on many outfits, I believe. And the fact that the vast majority of us wear skirts."

He noteably didn't say 'were girls'. Because boys could wear skirts if they wanted. Heck, he'd worn a skirt when the times called for it... Granted, it was because he was borrowing the healing barrier jacket from a colleague and hers had a skirt. Aaaaaanyway.

"But yes, our greatest power seems to be in our teamwork. So it is always good to have more amongst our numbers. Fortune, I am Time Space Administration Bureau, Chrono Harlaown. Please, seek me out if you ever require aid." He did, in fact, flash the ID. As he always did.

Amanda Faust has posed:
> Figuring it out on her own?
    "That's rough." Amy nods. "Geode Girl? If there are no others, and no mascot, how d'you know that's what you're called?"

    She hmms, looking over Loyalty. "I've never actually tried giving my weapon to someone else... but then *I* wouldn't have it, since..." She nods in the direction of the launcher lying on the ground, where she dropped it when she blew away. It vanishes into sparkles as a new one appears in her hand. "See? The moment I do, the last one goes away."

    She taps her chin. "Someone said they have mecha. Maybe we should look into that?"

> Maybe Geode Girls are Sailor Senshi?
    "Well, planets *are* mostly really big rocks... He's got a point! Don't underestimate kinetic weapons. For example," She shrinks her launcher down to the size of a pistol and swings it down, embiggening it again just in time for the end to hit the ground with a loud THUMP that digs a few inches into the sod. "It's already like ten times lighter for me. Easier to spin small, but then it's big and hits with more mass and angular momentum... Wham! Not to be underestimated if I have to hit something and explosions would be bad."

> Sparkle skirts.
    Amy looks at Chrono. "You don't have a skirt, though. I mean I get why. But maybe it's like calling superheroes capes, when they don't all wear capes?"

    She taps her chin and muses quietly, "Maybe you're a sparkle shirt? You don't really sparkle, though... but neither do I, most of the time..."

Niji Dasshu has posed:
    "I don't know how I know that's what we are. It's like asking how I know my name in this outfit, or how to fly, or what words to call out to transform. I just... kinda know." she says. "It sounds crazy but honestly I'm just kinda getting used to crazy being 'a thing' these days." she admits.

    "I never liked the name sparkleskirt, but Sunbaker said we hadn't given her a better one, so I guess that's fair." she says. "I didn't get any random information on how to call a bunch of us though." she says.

    "But that's... some of that's good ideas. I dunno what you mean by kinetic weaponry, but like I said. I can run and throw something but it doesn't seem to get my like. momentum? It's magic." she says, saying 'it's magic' like someone else might say 'who knows?'. "What I think I'm gonna do is... see if I can do the thing I did before with the traffic light. Where are the color just kinda sploded. That was pretty cool." she admits. "And you know, so far making stuff up as I go along has worked out great." she says, with a big grin and two thumbs up. "So I'm not like, super worried about it." she says. "Oh, I wonder if I can run on water!" she says, the idea having just popped into her head. "Okay I gotta try. I'm either gonna be more awesome or wet." she says with a grin. "I'll make sure to see you girls around, though. Well, and also you boys. But there's only one of you. So boy." she says, and that's at about the level of brain her mind is working off before she runs off, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. Patience, it appears, is not part of her powerset either.

Amanda Faust has posed:
> It sounds crazy but
    Amy waves a hand dismissively, "Nah, it's fine. That's not the weirdest thing I've dealt with in the past couple of months by a wide margin." She nods at getting used to crazy being 'a thing'.

> We didn't give Sunbreaker a better one
    Amy just kind of stares. "Magical Girls. We're Magical Girls." She glances at Chrono. "And Boys." And then back to Loyalty. "We're sure not tokusatsu or sentai. Well, I guess maybe the Sailor Senshi are kinda sentai?" Amy looks thoughtful again. "D'you think they'll get a combining robot eventually? That's still less weird than the actual truth from what I've heard."

> I dunno what you mean by kinetic weaponry
    "Like in physics class. Kinetic energy is the energy in moving things. Car crashes are bad because a ton of metal going a hundred kilometers per hour has a lot of kinetic energy, and for the car to stop instantly all that energy has to go somewhere. The adverb to describe a lot of energy moving around very quickly is 'violently.' Bullets are very tiny but very fast, and dense. Heavier than water doesn't sound very heavy, but have you ever had to carry a few gallons around?" She blinks. "Sorry, I'm getting off topic. Although, maybe hitting people with really fast water balloons would work as a nonlethal weapon? Just how fast do you go?"

Iona Hikawa has posed:
"Hmm, I see", Iona absorbs the information Loyalty gives out. "There has to be something that can be done, it's probably just a matter of time before we find out what." She is certainly going to ponder some ideas in her own time.

"Time-Space Administration Bureau?" she looks at Chrono puzzled That sounds like a very big deal. "I have never heard of that organisation. You will have to explain it to me one day*, Iona informs Chrono.

"Besides my Fortune Star Burst, my attacks are rather sparkly. If others are the same, it makes sense as to why the nickname come about, even if I am not going use something that come from our enemies." Fortune looks at Amy. "I don't suppose you have any attacks that sparkle, right?"

Though, she has to go now. The Karate Dojo won't look after itself, and her grandpa is counting on her presence. "See you next time. I am glad everyone is fine." And with that, Glasan and her fly off.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    > Do you have any sparkly attacks?
    Amy considers. "I wonder if I can shoot fireworks??? But that'd be kind of attention-getting anywhere I use it... Maybe I could try during a festival. Or next time I'm in a Witch Labyrinth." She waves. "Seeya! And happy holidays and New Year!"
