{{Poses
|Poses=:'''{{#var:230|Dark Glimmer (230)}} has posed:'''<br>It had, at one point, been a fairly nice evening. The key word there was 'had'.<br><br>Then the karaoke machine attacked. Glimmer was sitting on top of a building, staring down at the collapsed people, her face in both palms, and just... shaking her head. She didn't... understand. Like, she understood the concept of youma, yes. She understood that dark energy plus object make youma, yes.<br><br>What she didn't understand was... well... It was a monster. It, technically, used the 'microphones' as its concept. Except both arms were more like springs, with the wires of the microphones connecting the microphones to its body allowing it to shoot them out like lil retractable missiles. There was no singing, no vocal attacks, nothing of the sort. It was just... all velocity, all the time.<br><br>Glimmer glanced at Lady Bat, who stood besides her in her white tuxedo and hat. "Shouldn't it like, at least sing or something?"<br><br>Lady Bat just shrugged.<br><br>The youma then used its SPRING-LIKE legs to launch itself into the air. "SPRINGS!" it called, before sending out another pulse of dark energy, draining more of the surrounding area.<br><br>Glimmer's eye twitched.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:72|Sailor Mars (72)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rei Hino is not one for Kareoke per se, but she happened to be in the vicinity enough to get a tinge of psychic warning about what was coming. On the scale of problems, a youma that can't figure out its cliche is pretty low - there's no zombie apocalypse or other apocalypse. But still, draining energy helps Obsidian, and harms the civilians, so it can't be allowed to go on.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And Sailor Mars is more than willing to tell them so.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the roof of a different building, a girl in a red Sailor Senshi outfit points a gloved hand accusingly at the youma. "Kareoke is a fun pasttime that people enjoy with their friends! Not everyone might be cut out to be an idol, but that doesn't mean you can ruin their night. For turning someone's passionate hobby into a youma, and in the name of the planet of Mars, I'll punish you!" she yells, before jumping across the gap with an ofuda between two of her fingers.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"<span style="color:#FF0000">Evil Spirits, Begone!</span>" Sailor Mars calls, immediately trying to stunlock the youma before it can drain any more energy for whatever Obsidian's planning.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:107|Amy Faust (107)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amy, roofrunning towards the disturbance, sees a karaoke machine turned into a spring monster. There's no confusion to be had, it shouted 'springs!' loudly just now. So...<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's the year 20XX, and machines built to help humanity are turning against it!<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As Mars leaps into the fight, Amy ''whistles'' from just out of sight, three ascending notes with the last held longer, then two with the second held longer, before walljumping out of an alley to stand on a lamppost.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her cloak blows dramatically in the wind as she points at Glimmer and Lady Bat. "A ''spring'' robot master, really? Truly, your diabolic genius knows no bounds, Wily! But you see, I already know its weakness..."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She leaps down from the lamp post, the red/white of her outfit changing to green/yellow, and she charges at the youma with a pair of clawed gauntlets. "Slash Claw!"<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:#ffaf00">BANG!</span><br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When she actually got close though, she just blasted it with a line of piercing orange light instead.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Just kidding! I know that's not how youma work!" Amy grins as her colors revert to normal, although then she looks thoughtful and distracted. "Wait, ''is'' it? Some magical girls get precards and stuff for defeating youma, ''is'' there supposed to be a weakness chain...?" She glances at the others and at the dark generals on-site for comment.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:38|Mamoru Chiba (38)}} has posed:'''<br>Ta-tap.<br><br>Billowing silk drifts down around ankles and dress shoes as another Senshi lands beside our villains, and Tuxedo Kamen looks to Glimmer and Lady Bat and says, drawling it a little to increase the incredulity, "Reeeally."<br><br>He whips his cape back and flings a slew of roses carelessly in the direction of the probably-stunlocked youma, stems first, meant to pierce-- and then he jumps up in the air and does a backflip before making a perfect one-point landing on the streetlight across from Glimmer and Lady Bat.<br><br>He calls down to Sailor Mars, "Sing out, hahaha, if you need a hand down there~!"<br><br>And then Amy's here and the tall boy laughs. "A weakness chain? Do you mean like Venus's chain?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:230|Dark Glimmer (230)}} has posed:'''<br>As the ofuda strikes the large karaoke machine looking youma, it did go still for a moment, at least--<br><br>Long enough for Amy's blast to hit it.<br><br>And for Glimmer to just look even more confused than ever. "Errrr... I guess?" Glimmer said. She didn't think it was that genius, but hey. She'd take the compliment. She was just... already so confused. "Really," she said to Tuxedo Mask. "Don't look at me, I just work here. Apparently it means I'm wily... though I don't know why karaoke machines would be weaker to claws... then again... Catra's claws would probably shred one..." Glimmer mumbled.<br><br>Alas, she had yet to have played the megaman games. She HAD, however, worked through the pokemon games.<br><br>The stems pierced through the youma and the speaker on its chest burst out, on a spring, launching straight at Amy.<br><br>"No weakness chain, as far as I know!" Glimmer yelled down at Amy. "Just spell testing! Speaking of! Thanks!" Oh, that didn't bode well. She put her hands together before pink angel wings sprouted from her back and her necklace began to glow, forming an etherian circle in front of herself. It then began to expand as her hands did...<br><br>Until it covered nearly the whole block. A second one appeared in the air over them, sparkles appearing between the two in all directions, as if there was glitter *everywhere*.<br><br>The ofuda then seemed to burn away, before the youma started moving FASTER! Launching itself into the air, swinging one of each of its spring microphones at Amy and at Rei, to try and catch them and then swing them around, before launching them at Tuxedo Mask.<br><br>Worse, though? Was that whatever the spell was? It was making them feel *heavier*. A lot heavier. And the outer edges of the circle seemed to have formed a barrier of sorts, trapping them in.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:72|Sailor Mars (72)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sailor Mars frowns. "Whatever testing you're doing is hurting people. It's bad enough how difficult it can be to get a good night's sleep and feel refreshed..." especially when you have to be up all night fighting zombies or something "... but then your dumb youma shows up and drains people of that energy?" she says. And she crosses her arms, just a moment before the youma rushes her.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A distinctly undignified noise comes out of her mouth as she bobs and weaves to avoid the microphone. She can feel how slow she is - bnecause the spring microphone grazes her and sends her into a short spiral before she catches herself with the loud clack of her red heels digging in.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Yeah, I don't have a new spell to test, but I have an old one." Sailor Mars yells. The Red Senshi is pretty quick on the draw, and Glimmer wasn't entirely subtle with pink angel wings and whatnot, so she can put two and two together to get four. She got hit by the attack she should have dodged because of Glimmer. And if Glimmer was slowing her down, Glimmer was currently distinctly in need of something to break her concentration. Like being on fire.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sailor Mars brings her hands together, fingers outstretched, and turns to face Glimmer. "<span style="color:#FF0000">FIRE... SOUL!</span>" she yells as she launches a roaring gout of flame towards the sparkly girl.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:107|Amy Faust (107)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Glimmer comments on it. "But it's-- no, it's, ''spring''-attribute though! Long thin pieces of metal! So, cuttable! If it was actually a ''noise''-attribute monster..."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amy taps her chin. "Well, Shade Man's weakness was fire, but that's because he was more vampire bat-themed with a sound-attribute attack? Are... are vampires or bats weak to fire-attribute?" She looks at Lady Bat uncertainly.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the same word used for Type in pokemon, possibly helping Glimmer see what Amy was talking about.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Gah!" The edge of the speaker-on-a-spring glances off her chestplate as she tries to dodge out of the way, sending her stumbling when suddenly gravity increases, pulling her to the ground where the microphone can snatch her up. "What the hell is this barrier?! Aaaaaaaaaa!"<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the bright side, while it's swinging her around it is ''really'' easy to focus on the monster -- she holds out her hand towards it and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:#ffaf00">BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!</span> her blasts propelling tiny bits of orange-hot hypersonic metal too fast for centripetal force to throw it off -- although with Amy being tethered to the monster, each blast adds slightly to the speed she's being swung around and eventually launched towards Tuxedo Mask at!<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When she's either caught or hit someone or the edge of the barrier, Amy groans and explains, "No like a chain of weaknesses... like earth smothers fire burns wood feeds on water rusts metal kind of deal..."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:38|Mamoru Chiba (38)}} has posed:'''<br>"Tuxedo la Smoking--" starts Tuxedo Kamen after scowling at Glimmer, and that's when the youma's microphones start trying to imitate Bulbasaur?? and go for him, and he dodges high in the air again, and then--<br><br>--''he dodges high in the''--<br><br>WAIT. How is he moving so slow? And this barrier of ambient ... well there's dark energy in it for sure, and then Amy crashes into him at speed ''and'' his ankle is caught and between that and how queasy he's felt all day, when the two of them crash back into the barrier, he shoves her away because he is ''heaving''.<br><br>"TIME--urgh--OUT--"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:230|Dark Glimmer (230)}} has posed:'''<br>Dark Glimmer had... absolutely *no* idea what Amy was talking about. Luckily, she didn't need to in order to test that spell. More importantly, as the first flashed out at her... she didn't seem to notice it, focused on casting the spell.<br><br>Unfortunately, as the fire came flying at her... Miss Bat got in the way of it. She twirled her cane, before holding it out. Water swirled out from the tip, enveloping the flames and sending a thick mist into the air, but shielding the queen of Brightmoon from the attack as she focused on her spell. Finally, the circle stopped growing and she let out a low grown.<br><br>"Whew... that... that's actually... a lot more exhausting than I thought it would be..." Glimmer said, wiping some sweat from her brow. "I think I'm beginning to see why they kept it to such small areas. P-pretty impressive though, r-right? Covered a whole... block with it."<br><br>"Mystacor imprisoning spell! Usually only covers a single prison cell!"<br><br>"Weren't your prison cells just guest rooms?" Lady Bat asked.<br><br>"Mystacor had a jail cell!" Glimmer yelled, her voice getting high pitched as she shrieked.<br><br>The youma, to its credit, had not stopped its assault. As the other two had for the moment been dealt with (in its eyes) it had leaped into the air and was now attempting to throw the entirety of its body on top of Sailor Mars! Trying to meteor fall her into the ground!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:43|Sailor Moon (43)}} has posed:'''<br>There is a dark barrier covering an ''entire city block''. Usagi Tsukino, standing outside of it with a matcha cream latte with strawberry puree drizzle in hand, stares at it. She knows what she has to do. Oh boy, does she know what she has to do. She also knows what she ''wants'' to do. <br><br>There's a deep, mournful sigh. <br><br>Moon Spiral Heart Attack is her most forceful physical attack, so therefore, it really is no surprise that it's a giant pink heart which comes crashing into the dark barrier from the outside, followed swiftly by a sailor-suited beautiful soldier... with a green milk mustache. <br><br>"Do you know how much a matcha cream latte with strawberry puree drizzle costs?! In the name of delicious snacks wasted, I'll punish you!" <br><br>...then she takes in the sight of her friends in disarray and various states of ow, and adds, sheepishly - <br><br>"And also, in the name of my friends and love!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:107|Amy Faust (107)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"OOF!" Amy crashes into... Tuxedo Mask?! "Sorry!" she's then shoved out of the way of vomit and groans and explains weaknesses, then sees that he threw up. "Woah, are you o--rrgh..." after all the spinning and the gravity changes, she has to focus on nausea for a moment.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Who... even is... Mystacor..." she croaks out.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recovering a bit, she tries to give at least a fraction of as good as she got, and rocket-jumps after the spring youma... and doesn't quite reach it, but she conjures a giant anime sword over her head which isn't sharp but ''does'' have rocket thrusters along one side of it and tries to slam it down on the youma and meteor ''it''!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:72|Sailor Mars (72)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sailor Mars grit her teeth in annoyance as the secondary Dark General blocks for the one making everything here suck. It's exhausting, like moving in water, and she's annoyed by it, but she's also dealt with more frustrating things before. Still, when you're a little slower than you think you should be, it disrupts everything.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Especially when there'sd a giant youma trying to pancake you! Good thing she runs fast and stable on those high heels, but... with the disruption maybe it's not fast enough!<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But then Sailor Moon breaks in and just in time too - the disruption she causes to the barrier and the slowing effect is enough Sailor Mars can just barely avoid being the Soldier of Fire and Pancakes instead of Fire and Passion.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Oh, I am really glad to see you, Sailor Moon..." Sailor Mars says, coming to a stop and catching her breath, hands on her knees and panting. She may have run further than she strictly needed to.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After a moment she brings her fingers together for another gout of flame, though this one is at the youma. "<span style="color:#FF0000">FIRE... SOUL!</span>"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:38|Mamoru Chiba (38)}} has posed:'''<br>TO BE FAIR, he only heaved, he did not hurl. He takes a second, fingers of one hand on the ground, glowing and well-- grounding himself.<br><br>It doesn't really help. Tuxedo Mask says grumpily, "It would be great if the room stopped being different sizes," as he gets up-- then decides not to get up, and to stay right here, thanks. "IS THIS A REGULAR BARRIER TOO?" he yells out then appends, "Hello my love~"<br><br>He doesn't really wait though? He just calls out, "<span style="color:#A16100">T</span><span style="color:#9F640B">u</span><span style="color:#9D6817">x</span><span style="color:#9B6B23">e</span><span style="color:#9A6F2E">d</span><span style="color:#98723A">o</span> <span style="color:#947A51">l</span><span style="color:#937D5D">a</span> <span style="color:#8F8474">S</span><span style="color:#8D8880">m</span><span style="color:#8C8C8C">o</span><span style="color:#8D8880">k</span><span style="color:#8F8474">i</span><span style="color:#918169">n</span><span style="color:#937D5D">g</span>--" with his hand all glowing on the ground, and waits with a sort of stoic cranky stubbornness.<br><br>And waits. And waits for the youma to hit the ground in a useful place.<br><br>And waits.<br><br>"--<span style="color:#967645">C</span><span style="color:#98723A">r</span><span style="color:#9A6F2E">a</span><span style="color:#9B6B22">t</span><span style="color:#9D6817">e</span><span style="color:#9F640B">r</span><span style="color:#A16100">!</span>"<br><br>BOOM!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:230|Dark Glimmer (230)}} has posed:'''<br>Dark Glimmer cringed as there was more bungling into each other down below. Huh. Maybe this spell was more effective than she thought. And... wait... finally she noticed that Tuxedo Mask was... At least the youma had targetted the other girl.<br><br>"Not entirely! It's more just a shield wall!" she yelled down to Tuxedo Mask.<br><br>Only for Sailor Moon to kool-aid man through it. She cringed as the Etherian Circle flickered and she held up a hand, her hand glowing pink, before... "Oh, forget it," she said, swirling her wrist. The sparkles disappeared, but the circle didn't. They were still trapped, but they could *move* freely. Oh, that was so much easier. "Ugh. This spell is *so* unstable." Inside, incredibly durable. Outside? Very easy to break. Good to know.<br><br>The youma, meanwhile, had missed its mark, crashing into the ground where Rei HAD been, only to then be greeted by blazing sword and blazing flames and then a *crater*. Oof. Ow.<br><br>AND NOW IT STARTED TO DO RECORDINGS, AS MUSIC LYRICS FLASHED OVER THE LITTLE DISPLAY ON ITS SCREEN! "Of course," Glimmer said, rolling her eyes.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:38|Mamoru Chiba (38)}} has posed:'''<br>"Oh... rip..." says Tuxedo Kamen, cringing a little bit as he looks at the crater with the...<br><br>~We're no strangers to lo-o-ove...~<br><br>His eyes widen and he flings a rose at the youma's display screen! "I will NOT!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:72|Sailor Mars (72)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sailor Mars smiles at Sailor Moon, at Puella Amy, and Tuxedo Mask. "Let's send this thing to the scrap heap it belongs in." she says, sensing its weakness. "And then if the two rejects up there stick around, they can follow."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She draws a line of fire in the air, letting it collect into spheres - before bringing her hands forward to launch a barrage of large fireballs into the youma. "<span style="color:#FF0000">BURNING... MANDALA!</span>" she calls.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She is glad her fireballs are already enroute before she realizes the thing is singing.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:43|Sailor Moon (43)}} has posed:'''<br>Sailor Moon arrived in a shower of glitter, which quickly disappears. The glitter puzzles her, if only because she's pretty sure she didn't usually glitter and gleam (glow, only in her other form). What isn't confusing is the sight of her friends fighting a youma, Glimmer, and a cute lady - ''that'' seems a lot like business as usual. <br><br>Attacks rain down, and Sailor Mars suggests that they send the youma to the scrap heap while Tuxedo Kamen objects to a song she's pretty sure she's heard before - <br><br>And Sailor Moon sweeps her arm up, swinging her rod with the force and directive that she'd give a bat - <br><br><span style="color:#ff5fff">"</span><span style="color:#ff87d7">M</span><span style="color:#ff87d7">o</span><span style="color:#ff87d7">o</span><span style="color:#ffafd7">n</span> <span style="color:#ffafd7">P</span><span style="color:#ffafd7">r</span><span style="color:#ffd7d7">i</span><span style="color:#ffd7d7">n</span><span style="color:#ffd7d7">c</span><span style="color:#ffffd7">e</span><span style="color:#ffffaf">s</span><span style="color:#ffffd7">s</span> <span style="color:#ffd7d7">H</span><span style="color:#ffd7d7">a</span><span style="color:#ffafd7">l</span><span style="color:#ffafd7">a</span><span style="color:#ffafd7">t</span><span style="color:#ffafd7">i</span><span style="color:#ff87d7">o</span><span style="color:#ff87d7">n</span><span style="color:#ff87d7">!</span><span style="color:#ff5fff">"</span> <br><br>And purifying light blazes forth, energy shrapnel shaped like stars and crescents slicing the air.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:107|Amy Faust (107)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Ha''HA!''" Amy shouts triumphantly as they all smash the youma into the ground, and thanks to Moon mitigating the barrier she doesn't even have a hard landing!<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And then it starts playing music, and she can't help but sing along, "We're no srangers to lo-o-ove--" but then Tuxedo Mask shouts. "Oh. Do people still hate that song?" Well then...<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rocket-sword's thrusters light up and she just does a series of spinning WHACKS to give the karaoke youmachine a beatdown!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:230|Dark Glimmer (230)}} has posed:'''<br>The screen cracks as the rose pierces it, the music getting distorted and, worse, *louder* and high pitched. Oh gosh this is even *worse*.<br><br>Only for things to keep getting worse as the youma's body is enveloped in flames, turning red hot as bits of plastic begin to melt off. "S-springs!" it cries. Then to make it even worse, it is brutally beaten down by the rocket sword of Amy's and then enveloped in purifying light of the other moon royalty!<br><br>As all of it melts away, all that remains is a dented and damaged karaoke machine for two, slightly charred, and... Glimmer sighs. "What did she say? Matcha... latte... something?" Glimmer asked.<br><br>"Huh?" Lady Bat asked.<br><br>"Nothing, nevermind," Glimmer said before she flickered her hand out, grabbed Lady Bat's hand and the two disappeared.<br><br>The etherian circle disappeared and they'd soon see it... was not a standard magical barrier. As the damage was not being undone. At least she hadn't done much, though. And people's energy was being returned, as well. From on high, a gift card to a local coffee shop was slowly drifting down... down... down...<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:72|Sailor Mars (72)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sailor Mars makes a 'tch' noise when the youma finally gets dunked by the combined blasts of everyone, and a gift card flutters down from the annoying twosome of generals. "So, now they're sending two to watch over their junkyard rejects?" she asks, tapping her heel on the ground. The question is not directed at anyone in particular, of course, but more an annoyed obervation. She doesn't go AFTER the giftcard.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:43|Sailor Moon (43)}} has posed:'''<br>Sailor Moon darts over to pick up the gift card, turning it over in her hand. "Oooh, its enough for another latte! ...And some cookies for you all too!"<br><br>Ahahaha... just gonna... tuck that into her subspace pocket... <br><br>"That didn't look too weird to ''me'', but, I never really know with Glimmer?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:107|Amy Faust (107)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amy doesn't really go to coffee shops. She does, however, sing out the final fantasy victory jingle while spinning the sword a couple of times over her head, putting it on her back, and then unsummoning it. "Da-na-na-naaaa, naaa, naaaa, naaa na naaaaaaa! o/~"<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amy turns around to look up at -- oh she's gone. She looks curiously between Mars and Moon. "Are her monsters always extra weird? I forget... one was... ice cream? And it had weird hair or something?"<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She also gives a concerned look at Tuxedo Mask. "Uhh, are you okay? I didn't hit you ''that'' hard, did I?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:38|Mamoru Chiba (38)}} has posed:'''<br>Mamoru just sits down on the curb and puts his head in his hands, holding it like he has a headache, kind of. "Nah. I feel carsick. I didn't feel great before I showed up and then the dark energy, I guess, and all the gravity changes... aha ha, ugh." He just breathes for a minute, then laughs to show he'll be okay. "I'll be fine, I just need to go home and lie down, I think. Probably just coming down with something. Eat a cookie for me!" He blows Usagi a kiss.<br><br>While he was talking he was gathering a teleport; he's out with a non-Euclidean dramatic swish of his cape.<br><br>There are, in fact, cookies to eat and a replacement latte to get!<br> <br>
