---

Takashi Agera has posed:
    Takashi Agera, as Riventon, stands in the middle of an alleyway behind some of the suburbs of Pikarigoaka, one of Tokyo's suburbs. Around him are residential buildings, mostly. In his hand is a small, white oblong object, looking like an egg if the egg was subdivided into many parts.

    Firefly is at his side. He looks at her. "This is one of those circumstances where we're doing something that seems bad on the outside in order to achieve an eventual good result." he tells her. "We're not going to really hurt anybody, though. We're just going to take their energy. In most cases they're not doing anything with it in the first place. And they'll get better if they just rest." he says. Then he looks around. "Should've brought something else, though."

    Eventually, though, propped up in the side of the alleyway for removal, he sees something that gives him an idea. A vaccum. He smiles, and releases the little egg-like object, which floats over to the vaccum, presses against it, releases some sort of purple goo... is absorbed by the vaccum cleaner - and then in a burst of Dark Energy and transformative magic, instead of a vaccum there's a strange blue-skinned woman with the... vaccum's head for a hat... and tube armor... and long black nails.

    "Osouji!" she shouts. She looks ridiculous. But... she's what he's got.

    "Alright, SURE, whatever. Drain the energy from this ward." She turns her hand into a giant vaccum cleaning tube attachment, and it rises into the air, and she does as ordered - begining to draw in energy from a pretty sizeable area around the alleyway. Of course, there was also a surge of Dark Energy recently, plus the drain from civilians, it means that interruptions are a matter of when, not if.

Hotaru Tomoe has posed:
Firefly nodded, having arrived besides him. The young student hung on his every word, a smile on her face. "R-right, Riventon-senpai," she said. "Gather a little, so we can use it to help everyone later." In fact, if she didn't think about it that hard it was pretty smart. Take a little bit of energy from everyone, so they could direct that energy into one thing for their benefit and, by extension, everyone's benefit.

This was why they worked for Obsidian. Also, her daddy.

Of course, then he made... a vacuum youma. And well, she stared at it and then kind of side-eyed Riventon. "At least I don't have to worry about being the member of the team who sucks the most today," she said. Oh. OH. Even Firefly is snarking at him now. Where was the love? Where was the RESPECT?

"... Want me to bring something next time? I'm sure I can pick up a like... two hundred yen woopie cushion next time, if we decide to stop sucking and just stink?" she offered. On the up side, it was a clear sign of how much she trusted him that she WAS able to snark at him. Also, she was smiling when she said it, so that was new.

Mio Morita has posed:
"And I was like, 'Oh my gosh that is so cute!' You should have seen it. Watching Pin eat pizza the first time was absolutely adorable." Mio is walking along with Coco and Amy, eating dango. "This is really good. You should try it!" She offers some to Coco and Amy.

As they walk along she spies something that looks out of place. "Ummm do houses usually have hoses like that going that high in the air?" She asks as she stops and just looks. "I've got a bad feeling about this." She states as she just looks for the time being.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Laisa was on her way out of yet another shrine, eyes downcast and hands curled into fists. If they couldn't help her with her curse problem then what good are they?

    No, no, she shouldn't be mean. If it was an easy problem someone else would have solved it. She lets out a sigh, trying not to get discouraged. Laisa has only just started her search. It's too early to get frustrated.

    It's then that she feels a slight energy drain. This thing again? Laisa's red eyes turn towards the source of the drain, far enough away that she can't quite make out the culprit, but still able to see a vortex where all the stolen energy is going.

    With a frown, she mutters, "... and then there's that thing."

    One henshin later, and Snow Angel Mou Fubuki is hopping from rooftop to rooftop, using short bursts of cold air to give her a bit of extra speed and height. It's time to pick another fight.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
Not far away, Wako is checking a map on her phone and looking perplexed at the largely residential area around her. "I... don't think this is the way to Nounamu Sweets, after all." So much for that idea.

She's halfway through tapping out a text SOS to Naru when the feeling washes over her. Not as strong as it was last time, not like the overpowering sense of being watched, but it's still the Ayingott-feeling that she got from those angry disembodied eyes. A dark feeling that makes her skin crawl and Wawna's slumbering presence in the back of her mind stir into alertness.

Trouble. Somewhere nearby. Wako shoves her phone hastily into her pocket.

"Apprivoiser!"

Not very much later, a floating bubble of rosy-pink energy deposits the Ginga Otome upon one of the rooftops overlooking the alley. Keeping the shield around her just in case, the girl in white and gold military parade attire peers down from above to get a look at the source of the creepy feeling. And doubletakes.

"Are you serious...?"

Mou Fubuki's roof-hopping approach will find Wako in the act of hunting her cell phone back out and lining it up for a picture. Takuto-kun is not going to believe this one without some proof.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy Faust giggles and smiles at the memory of Pin eating pizza just a few days ago. She tends towards a red t-shirt and dark slacks when not having to wear her uniform, and a messenger bag to have a place to put stuff. "It *was* cute! Someone... like, seeing the joy of someone trying, experiencing pizza for the first time, right?" She grins earnestly.

    Amy takes the offered dongo, looking at it curiously before taking a bite. "What's this?"

    And then uh

    And then a tube is sticking in the air. It reminds her of some comedy movie she only vaguely remembers about a 'smart house' with such robotic attachments. But if something weird is going on here, she somehow doubts that it's a smart house vaccuum malfunctioning. Tech didn't develop that way anyway, things have developed in an independently mobile drone direction rather than machinery on armatures coming out of wall panels as envisioned by some futurists of bygone days.

    She's trying to figure out what her cover is gonna be when she remembers both people she's with are magical girls, they were *just talking* about a fairy trying pizza for the first time. "You think we should just go find someplace unseen to transform, or...?"

Coco Kiumi has posed:
Coco is currently taking a stroll in the district of Pikarigaoka, having met up with Mio and Amy beforehand. She is holding a plastic glass with pineapple slices in it, the whole thing decorated by a mini-mountain of cream on top. She is currently wearing a short yellow tank top accompanied by an orange miniskirt. "For real?" she lets out a laugh at Mio's comment. "That's so cute! I bet your little fairy had a great time", she says, tasting a spoonful of her delicious dessert.

"Oh, a bit of your dango?" She smiles at Mio's offer. "Thank you", she comments, taking the offered dango. "Do you want some of mine, Mio, Amy?" Before Coco can get a reply however, she looks at the weird things her friends are pointing out. "Huh, I don't think that's normal either". Vacuum cleaners don't exactly hang out in the sky, especially not with with something like a flux of energy flowing inside it. "We'd better transform in a private location, yeah", she says, discarding her unfinished dessert in a nearby bin.

Takashi Agera has posed:
    Riventon sighs and looks at Firefly, but there's a hint of a smile on his face. Or on the mix of shadows that covers his face, anyways. "Hopefully you save some of those barbs for the inevtiable interlopers." he talls her.

    "Well, I guess the first lesson is, be prepared. Obviously." He says. Shaking his head as he looks at 'Osouji'. "Second lesson is that even things, or allies, that seem ridiculous can be useful, though." Axion pings about something - active magical signatures getting closer - and Riventon walks over to the youma. a panel slides open on its stomach and he pulls out what looks like a vaccum cleaner canister - only it's full of glowing energy. "And also, never be shy about securing what you've already got before you go for more." he says, tossing the canister into a small Dusk Portal he opens with his other hand. Another canister appears and the panel shuts, because youma are wierd. "Time's not infinite, Osouji. Turn up the power. We want as much as we can take."

    The youmas smiles and the tube in the air transforms from a circular thing to a giant flat floor-sweeper looking thing, and she seems a little unsteady holding it up, but it does draw energy in from a wider area.

    "Is your Device able to sense them yet, warn you signatures are coming closer?" he asks Firefly. "A fight is probably coming, but don't get too jumpy. All of this is not very valuable if we spend more energy than we earn back."

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    As Mou Fubuki gets closer to the scene of the fashion crime, as well as the actual energy-stealing crime, she sets down right next to Ginga Otome who is in the middle of taking a picture. "Fancy meeting you here," she says before skipping to the next roof.

    As she gets closer she starts to see the culprits. Riventon, Firefly and 'Osoujii'; all are completely unfamiliar to her, which means that she has no way of gauging the threat level of the fight that she's about to start.

    Snow Angel points dramatically at the energy draining youma, opens her mouth, pauses, and then drops her hand while shaking her head. "You know what? I'm not even going to make the obvious joke here. I, Snow Angel Mou Fubuki, demand that you freeze!"

    Since that's probably not going to have any effect, she conjures a magic snowball in her hands and throws it into the swirling energy vortex, wondering if it'll get sucked into the youma's machine.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
"Hi," Ginga Otome answers Mou Fubuki, flashing the Snow Angel a friendly smile as she shoves her phone back into her gold-trimmed white tailcoat. "Nice to see you, too. That's about enough of whatever that is, don't you think?"

Raising her hands in front of her, she gathers the energy between her palms. "ZERO TIME!"

The barrier rushes outward, shifting a significant portion of the suburb and the unwitting civilians in it into that otherdimensional space. The various magical individuals around feel the change like a soft brush of charged air over their skin, as the sky turns abruptly into a dazzling multi-colored starfield.

It also cuts off the bountiful sources human energy that Osouji's been draining.

"Showtime, Wawna," the Galactic Maiden declares, and the little mechanical figure floating at her shoulder bobs in agreement.

< Ready, miko-sama! >

With that, Wako steps to the edge of the roof again, outlined against the manicolored galaxy above, and strikes a pose. "I don't know what you're up to," she calls down to the trio in the alley, "but it stops right here!"

Mio Morita has posed:
Mio Morita nods to both Coco and Amy. "The alleyway over there. No ones in it and it looks clear." She quickly runs over to that dropping the remainder of her dango. Once over there she pulls out her prechan mirror. "Pretty Cure, Rolling Mirror Change!"

There is a flash of orange as Mio goes through her flashy transformation. "Hope Rising to Banish the Darkness! Cure Daybreak!" She exclaims as her transformation finishes leaving her looking much more colorful now.

"Lets get over there and see whats going on. There is something really wrong. I can't describe it but its bad." She shakes her head. Closing her eyes, her back bow flashes and turns into wings. She flies upward and takes a look. "Ummm yeah this could be trouble! Pin wake up!" Pin was sleeping on her head this whole time. She looked like a normal stuffed animal so that makes sense, right?

Pin snaps awake and flies upward. "Thats a youma! Not one of the Phantom Empires but one no less. Get ready to fight!"

Mio, Now Cure Daybreak nods, "Get there quick. I'm going ahead!" She calls to Coco and Amy. She quickly flies closer to the youma, Riventon, and Firefly. Once close she lands on a rooftop and finally gets a good luck at the youma. "Ummm... are you serious? I was expecting something bigger." She comments, almost afraid to punch this one because she might break it. But thats the point isn't it? Break the youma! She takes off towards the youma, ready to punch the living daylights out of it.

Hotaru Tomoe has posed:
Firefly nodded. Despite her snarking, she really did admire Riventon and was taking all he said to heart. Probably the only reason she WAS able to snark at him. Being prepared, well... aside from their first... excursion, she'd been prepared for most things. And since they weren't likely to go back against things, welllll...

Their role today was 'bad guy'. And she knew it was for the greater good, because Riventon-senpai told her so. Securing things? That was smart. She nodded along, hanging onto every word. "Uh huh," she said, still staring at him. "Gather what's necessary, and take a moment to pause to make sure it's not lost. I don't--" Then her device pinged. "Aaaand nevermind, something is coming. Fast. Right. Game face!" she said before lightly slapping her cheeks and then... scowling. "H-how does it look? Intimidating? I've been practicing in front of the mirror," she said.

Then the first arrived and she gulped. What was it that one lady in Obsidian had told her? Right!

"Ohhhhh ho ho ho ho ho! You think you can defeat us?" she asked before leaping up into the air, flying overhead. "You can't stop--" Aaaaand then a barrier is activated. She paused. "Okay, so you can stop us! But you'll never be able to defeat us, you insignificant... uhhhh... one second. What was the word?"

<Meager peasants,> her device said in that creepy, evil voice that sounded ripped from a horror movie.

"Insignificant meager peasants!" Firefly said before looking down to Riventon. "H-how was that, senpai?" she asked, now kind of... hovering upside down and staring at him, awaiting confirmation of her hard work.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
Quickly jumping down an alleyway, Coco checks there is nobody else around. The alleyway is completely desert, only dirt and a bunch of boxes to keep them company.

"Ok, time to transform! Yellow Pearl Voice!" she shouts bringing her hands to the sides of her shell pendant. In the midst of this, she is vaguely aware of her friends doing the same. The pearl inside the shell locket starts shining brilliantly with a yellow glow, while the clothes Coco is wearing are replaced by her idol uniform and her hair gets longer and lighter in colour.

With her transformation to an end, she notices Cure Daybreak has taken to the skies, shouting at her and Amy to reach her.

Looking at Red, Yellow Pearl Voice asks "Do you know how to fly? My Live Stage can hover, so I can offer you a lift in that if you don't."

Amanda Faust has posed:
Would you like some?
    Amy smiles as she chews her dango, but then TROUBLE STRIKES. And the *perfectly good fruit slices* are thrown in the trash.

    Amy looks at them for a second. It landed cup-down, it's not like the fruit is actually touching any... no, even if it's wasteful, you have dignity.

    Mio spots an empty alley. Amy runs after her, reaching down her shirt collar and pulling out her soul gem on a necklace. "Damn, I need a cool phrase like that." She stops and poses with the gem clutched in front of her chest and her other hand held up in a raised fist. "[Henge!]" A red-limned white flash of flickering light and she, too, is transformed. "A dramatic line too? I don't even have a name yet..."

    Mio has WINGS. "You can FLY?! What is that LIKE?!"

    She steps into the stage. shaking her head at the question about flight.

    When they arrive in sight of the youma, she strikes a vaguely sentai pose again. "Red's the name! And youma-bustin's... part of a balanced breakfast!" She grins cheesily, and then looks thoughtful, tapping her chin. "Hmm, maybe split it up before and after transforming..."

Takashi Agera has posed:
    A few things happen, mostly in quick succession. A snowball flies through the air and sure enough, gets sucked into the vaccum - not only clogging it, but causing the vaccum-youma to freeze over for just a moment. Then the world itself freezes as Riventon, Firefly, Osouji, and the magical girls arriving on-scene are pulled into the strange landscape of Zero-Time. And then an orange blur comes at the youma, who is unable to react due to being frozen over for the moment - and is punched towards Riventon and Firefly, neither of whom try to catch the youma, but just dodge out of the way of the living projectile.

    Riventon turns to Hotaru and gives her an approving nod. There's something about the mannerisms of what would be tradityionally called villains that helps to empower and focus dark energy - maybe the haughtiness and overbearing ego. And well, if they were going to call you the villian anyways, why not have fun with the role.

    But as magical girls show up, while others might see them as outnumbered, what Riventon seens is what Axion tells him is there - several magical artifacts. Getting away with just one would be a huge boon to him. Of course all of the magical artifacts are attached to magical girls - pendant, bracelet, gems, a floating robot - oh no he wants that.

    More magical girls show up, it's like a party. Each of them with their own magical items. "Well, I was gathering energy for a grand purpose, but I guess since you pulled me into wherever the hell this place is, my associates and I are just going to have to beat the crap out of all of you and take your stuff instead. But anybody who doesn't want a beating, you can drop your magical artifact on the ground and walk away." Behind Riventon, Osouji is getting up off the floor. "Hey, Osuji. Why don't you make like your core design and clean house.: The bad pun aside, Osouji reaches behind her and pulls her tail... out... like a long vaccum cleaner cord, and starts to use it like a lashing whip as she dives forward into the girls.

    Riventon, meanwhile, appears in front of Ginga Otome. "Give me the little magic robot on your shoulder, and I'll turn off the rampaging vaccum lady myself and walk away." he offers. "Or I can take it." He has his left hand outstretched like he's expecting her to give him a gift, and his right hand is palm-out with Dark Energy gathering into an orb. Trick or Treat, Ginga Otome.

    He's expecting Firefly to pick her own targets, make her own decisions. Osouji is trying to whip the other girls with that cable of hers, and anytime she misses there's a groove left in the ground or building behind the girls - there's serious force behind this ridiculous creature.

Hotaru Tomoe has posed:
Firefly gasped. Yessss! She got a nod from senpai! He approved! YES! She was learning! She quickly righted herself before looking at the approaching swarm. Okay, she needed to pick her targets well. She finally... looked to the ice woman. She was a good target. Why?

Because any bruises Firefly would get would be pre-iced! Okay, so it wasn't the... wisest decision. But it WAS a decision! And since she wasn't going to go catching random youma, she flew up higher and tried to make sure she was out of reach of any of Riventon's consequences brought on by his actions.

She aimed her glaive at Mou before firing it, a little blast of dark purple energy flying through the air at her! Not very painful, but a bit... annoying, if it struck. Pew pew, pew!

Coco Kiumi has posed:
At Yellow Pearl's mental command, the Live Stage materialises around her and Red. "You know, unless you actually want to stick with that, something like Flaming Comet might do better than a simple Red. On the other hand, we have a god calling himself Blue, so you would be in good company."

The sphere of white light rises off the ground, carrying them to the tube in the sky, however before they can reach it, the thing is knocked to the ground. "Oh, well, Cure Daybreak must have been rather fast", Yellow Pearl Voice says, changing the direction to the Live Stage and bringing them to where the tube fell. "I will let you off here, Red!"

Not waiting for an answer, she brings her E-Pitch to her lips, gazing at the elephant-vacuum cleaner-woman. "You have chosen the wrong day to distub the harmony of Pikarigaoka. Get ready, because you are about to learn to appreciate it, willing or not! Pichi Pichi Voice, Live Start!"

Star Light!
If you gather more light,
you can surely change this world.
Even the depths of the dark seas lie in the wind ahead, but
if you never... let go of my hand."

Yellow Pearl Voice keeps singing as other magical girls keep fighting around her. 'Uh, so it wasn't just Cure Daybreak here.' Smiling at the how these enemies must have no chances, she puts her all into her song to destabilise the demon as much as possible while the others fight.

Our dreams can begin in a super live concert!
On a stage of light and shadows.
With our super songs, we"ll convey our love
and give everyone a little bit of courage... in this song of love.

The shine of the E-Pitch's pearl radiates outwardly as Yellow Pearl Voice keeps dancing to the rhythm of the song, invigorating her unexpected audience and hindering her enemies.

Star Light!
If you believe in yourself more
You should surely be able to change your future.
In this frozen world, despite being alone at dawn
and having a small body, you won"t lose.

Love in your right hand can be felt in the super live concert!
On the stage of tears and sweat.
Just continue singing, Super Girls!
And the world will become connected with your feelings.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Laisa looks back to the Galactic Maiden with a thin smile. "That trick of yours is pretty useful."

    When Firefly starts floating into the air, Mou Fubuki squeals and puts her hands on her cheeks. "Awww, you're adorable!" That's probably not the compliment that Firefly wanted in this moment. "I could take you home and feed you hot chocolate!"

    Even while sassing the enemy, particles of snow and ice start to gather and float in the air around her. The spot of the roof she's standing on gets iced over, and little ice wings grow out of her back. Her guard is up, because she can't afford to get humiliated by something as ridiculous as the elephant vacuum youma, and the fact that one of her opponents is a cute little girl wouldn't help matters at all.

    At Riventon's demand, she frowns and puts her fists on her hips, "Buddy, my curse helps me a lot more than it'd ever help you. You don't even want what I have." She doesn't have time to elaborate before Firefly starts her attack. A dark blast comes her way, and a shield of ice forms around Mou's arm before she raises it to tank it. Chips of ice fall off. It... wasn't as much as Mou was expecting. Is the little girl just starting slow, or hiding her true power somehow?

    The vacuum cleaner youma's whipping catches her off guard and smacks her right in the face! Dangit, it was a distraction!

    Mou Fubuki spends very little time hesitating further, reaching out towards Firefly and unleashing a torrent of magical ice and snow. She hops away from the vacuum cleaner, trying to avoid taking on too many at once.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
Ginga Otome takes an involuntary step back as Riventon appears right in front of her. She wasn't expecting quite such a personal response to her challenge - though his demand quickly makes the reason much clearer, and she recovers her aplomb with fresh indignation.

The little mecha, hovering in her energy bubble, bobs away from Riventon's reaching hand. < You demand what you have not earned and cannot comprehend, human. >

"That's a no," the Galactic Maiden adds, "if you were having trouble keeping up." Rosy energy glows around her, outlining the transparent shape of a spherical shield as Wako's feet lift from the surface of the roof. She gathers herself up, rearing back a moment - and then hurls herself bodily forward towards Riventon, ramming her shield directly at him.

Mio Morita has posed:
Cure Daybreak lands and turns to face Riventon, Firefly and the youma. She laughs at Riventon as he makes his demand for magical artifacts. "I somehow don't think you'd look good in this skirt!" She obviously doesn't comply with the whole turning over her transformation items. Instead she prepares herself for the fight at hand.

Then Riventon and Firefly both pick their targets, the two magical girls she doesn't know. That means Red, Yellow Pearl Voice, and herself have the Youma. The youma who is now rampaging using a power cord tail as a whip. She quickly dives out of the way of an incoming whip strike. "Careful Red, Yellow. This things got more strength than it lets on." She turns the dial on her and calls out an attack, "MORNING SUN BEAM!!" A beam of energy goes flying from her fists toward Osouji.

Pin meanwhile flies upward and out of the way, not wanting to get hit by the crazy youma. "You can do this, Cure Daybreak!! You too Red!!" The fairy cheers on the magical girls. The only thing missing is little pompoms.

Takashi Agera has posed:
    Things devolve into chaos - well, more chaos - at the two villains and youma attack and nobody takes the incredibly generous offer of 'give me your stuff and I won't hit you' very seriously. Least of all Ginga Otome, who attacks Riventon in a way honestly he honestly wasn't expecting; girl in the military uniform shoulder-barrier-tackling him was not on his shortlist. He releases the energy he was holding into a blast which mostly just serves to prevent him from taking the full impact. He catches himself in mid air - he's figured out this whole 'dark energy hovering' thing now - and floats back up to be level with her. "Don't say I didn't ask nicely." he notes before several vaguely humanoid shadow-creatures made of Dark Energy with gleaming razor claws spawn into existence around both him and Wako, and start trying to attack her from all sides. On impact with an attack or barrier they dissapate - they're mostly like artistic rendentions of projectiles - but they look like he's barraging her with a bunch of tiny little youma.

    Osouji's doing her best with everything shed's been asked to mess up, but she's both outnumbered and disposable. She scores a good hit on the Snow Angel thanks to Firely, though, who moves out of the close battle, and so Osouji looks to handle Daybreak - turning just in time to eat Morning Sun Beam, which she barely gets her arms in front of her face to tank. When the beam ends, she's smoking a little bit and her plastic-like arms are a little melty. Part of that is because of Yellow Pearl's song, degrading her defenses. "You shut up!" she yells, turning to face Yellow Pearl and her center panel opens up again - this time out of it she launches several brown-looking vaccum bags, which fly towards Pearl and her Stage. On impact, they explode, not only into damaging Dark Energy bursts, but also spray clouds of choking grey dust. Youma are weird.

    But she's not attacking the one that just melted her armor, which is maybe not the brightest move. But maybe the bright actions are saved for Cure Daybreak.

Hotaru Tomoe has posed:
Firefly blinked and froze in place. Her cheeks went red and she gave a light squeak, her entire body still for a moment in that way of shock and alarm that only someone who isn't used to hearing such compliments can react. She can of drifts in the air for a moment, hovering as if gravity had no effect on her, before speaking up. "I-I... t-thank you. I... I... t-think you're... p-pretty t-too..." she said, her cheeks burning. Before she eeked and shook her head. "N-no! I mean, I-I'm... I'm supposed t-to be intimidating right now! A-and scary! I worked really hard on my 'mean' face!" she said, scowling again.

Then getting blasted by ice! She shrieked, spinning through the air before crashing into the wall. "O-ow..." she said. "G-good hit." Then cringed. "I-I mean, oh... ho ho ho! T-that... weak attack was, ummmm, b-barely felt! Oh... owie..." she extracted herself from the wall a moment later before looking around. Right. Oh no! The vaccum was getting beat up!

Anyway.

She looked to Mou before leveling the glaive on her again. Once more she fired blasts! They were... largely... soft. Not very damaging, more a pin down style attack... Before... "Senpai!" she called out. "SILENCE!"

She swung her glaive down and struck the 'floor'. Which, due to flying... was the air. And then there was a wave of purple energy that swept over the field.

And everyone would find their feet bound to the ground... But it was a very, very weak bind. Something they could easily break in a second, with the right force application. Just a distraction.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
Suspended within her shield, Ginga Otome rebounds from the impact with Riventon and the blast he releases; she wobbles in the air for a moment or two before she manages to stabilize, clearly not yet very experienced with this sort of levitation herself. "You don't even have the first clue what you're asking for," she shoots back to him.

Her eyes widen at the onslaught of the many little Dark Energy creatures. Their claws disintegrate against her shield, but there's a lot of them - she rockets backward and upward, firing sparks of bright pale pink from her fingertips, shooting down a few of the Improjectiles before they can converge on her emphemeral energy barrier.

Which is all well and good... until Firefly's binding surges up to drag her unexpectedly back down to the roof. "Aah!"

The tiny Cybody plunges after her, its small voice calling out in concern. < Miko-sama! >

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Mou Fubuki almost feels a little bad for this little girl. She's trying so hard, and she's so earnest and sincere, that Snow Angel can't feel good about being mean to her. Especially after being told she's pretty. Snow Angel smiles softly, though her cool eyes don't look happy, and says, "Thank you," to the compliment. When Firefly tries being evil again, Mou decides to play along with it. "Ooh, yes, you're so intimidating! Very scary. I'm shivering!"

    Is it really a good thing to encourage a little girl trying to be evil? Well, Mou doesn't really think so, but Mou can't bring herself to attack Firefly's confidence.

    The suppressing fire comes, and Snow Angel starts raising ice barrier after ice barrier to tank the attacks, each one appearing just before the other one shatters. For what it's worth, it does pin her down pretty effectively, since Mou also has to worry about attacks coming from other directions. When the binds appear around her feet, she yelps.

    "Well... if I'm not moving anyways..." she comments, before reaching forward with her left hand. The broken shards of her icy barrier float in front of her before merging and reforming into one long spear. Mou holds the spear overhead before lobbing it at Firefly, sending a blast of cold air after it to speed it along. The spear isn't built to last, and will likely shatter upon impact the moment anything hits it.

Mio Morita has posed:
Daybreak nearly lets out a cheer over flat out nuking the youma. She had hoped that That would draw the youma's attention away from Red and Yellow Pearl. She wanted the thing to focus on her because she thinks she can tank it. But no, It turns its attention to Yellow. "What to do, What to do!" She comments to herself as she tries to figure out her next attack.

The choice is made for her. When her feet are bound to the ground, she tries to move but in that moment, she is frozen. So she takes it as a sign from Blue-sama or something. Turning the dial on her prebrace, she shouts out. "RISING SUN FLARE!" She winds and her hand engulfs in flames. Throwing forward a burst of flames goes flying at Osouji.

"You okay Yellow?" She asks not really knowing what her name is. Part of her wants to fly to her friend but she knows that will just give Osouji two targets in the same general location. She stays on the ground trusting that her friend is safe and can tank a hit or two.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
Yellow Pearl Voice smiles as Cure Daybreak's beam successfully damages Osouji. "Got it, Cure Daybreak, I will be careful" is what she would like to say, however she is too busy singing for that. The smile is short lived as the demon turns to her and yells at her to shut up, launching several dust bag at her. A few of them meet some obstacles on the way, exploding and turning those objects into dust.

The vast majority, however, continue their trajectory, their brown shape quickly fending the air. Being on her guard thanks to her friend's warning, Yellow Pearl Voice quickly get out of the way, however one of the bags graze the Live Stage exploding on it and sending the Mermaid Princess tumbling to the ground.

'I think I am alright', she thinks, checking her current condition. In fact the attack didn't cause any loss, so she sets onto resummoning her Live Stage. However, just before that, one of the enemies does something weird with her glaive, spreading purple energy all over the floor's area. The effects are the same wherever Yellow Pearl Voice looks: everyone in strike range has been bound by the attack, purple chains at their ankles.

'Is that it?' she looks surprised at the chains binding her. 'Either that attack wasn't for me, or she thought my dancing was an important part of the performance. I just need to use my songs to break out of these.' The familiar sphere of white light forms around her. She turns her gaze to Firefly, a harsh gaze on her face.

"Prepare for a disappointment: Aqua Regina's blessing isn't in our dance, it is in our melodies, the songs of the seven kingdoms that have always defended the peace from demons like you, a rainbow of colours that spread from Aqua Regina's pure light to banish the darkness. I hope you appreciate this encore!"

The rainbow wind blows at a far off coast
Before dawn, there was a melody I heard
It's a very nostalgic song

The birds that fly towards the eastern sky
now escape to the treasure island using this shortcut.

Where the paradise of the seven seas lies
After the stormy night, to tell you my love I will be born again
Even if there comes a day where everyone...
Is to journey away from here, as long as we sing the melody of the seven countries
I'll never forget.

Clouds slowly float away, vanishing away as they aim for the rainbow's end
And then the stars, like pearls
can start releasing a powerful, wondrous light.

With the song's power, the chains start melting and dissipating, giving her freedom of movement once more.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy considers names as they float. "Hmm. Red Comet's already taken... Red and Blue just makes me think of the pokemon characters... Oh dang, and she's not alone. Whoever changes the sky like that must've shown up too!"

    Artifacts are demanded. "I like your aesthetic, guy, but if you're really so smart, shouldn't it be obvious that if we weren't willing to fight we wouldn't be magical girls in the first place? The only people who WOULD give it up, by definition, aren't here!" Puella Red declares smugly, having defeated the villain with logic! THE DAY IS SAVED! Okay yeah they still have to fight.

    Amy has no idea just how bad losing her soul gem would be.

    The battle devolves into chaos. Red's trying to look for a good opportunity to use her weapon without catching allies in the blast.

    Maybe she can use this opportunity to learn about her opponents.

    "So, you consider yourself a man of science, and another magical girl. What are you two fighting for, anyway?"

Takashi Agera has posed:
    The chaos doesn't seem to be winding down in this moment, but only increasing. Yellow goes from signing to dodging to singing again, the Angel is fighting the Firefly, and a gout of flame erupts from Cure Daybreak again and this time slams into the far-less-defending Osouji. This time with the flames hit her back she shouts out in pain and goes down to one knee. If the magical girls want to reduce the amount of things they're dealing with now might be the time.

    It's probably a good thing for Otome that the song is freeing her from the chains, and weakening the enemies, because Riventon floats down directly in front of her and starts charging a blast of Dark Energy in his hands right up on the edge of her shield, as magical circles form around his feet and around his wrist.

    <SCHATTENSCHLAG!> his device calls out, as he unleashes a much more powerful blast - not the undisciplined surge of energy from before but an actual attack, a spell. He was up close though, not because the spell was any more powerful at point blank, but because if her barrier shattered he intended to reach in and grab either her or the little robot. If it didn't break, he'd keep attacking until it did, a single-minded focus that has partially left him blind to the other goings-on (or he might have pulled off to help his youma, or much more likely, Firefly.)

    "Give it to me!" he yells between attacks, in that moment sounding not terribly far from a youma himself, red eyes on his mask flaring. Letting his desire, his greed for power, flow through him and empower the Dark Energy attacks. He hears Amy's comments, and adds "If you won't surrender I'll rip it out of your broken fingers!." he continues to yell, exactly like any other reasonable scientist would. Not at all like the Dark Energy is driving him to more aggressive activity.

    Osouji sort of shudders and shakes as it tries to get to its feet to continue attacking - self-preservation is not high on its order of operations. It is moving slowly and erratically as it sparks a little.

Hotaru Tomoe has posed:
Firefly glanced towards Riventon when he started to snap. "Senpai?" she asked, looking a little nervous. Was he... losing control? He sounded like he was losing it. Just a bit. Getting... very emotional. "Riventon-senpai?" she called out. She smacked her own ankles with her glaive, breaking the bonds and distracted by him.

She was distracted, unfortunately, and didn't realize the ice was coming until far too late. It hit her square in the chest and she dropped, crashing down into the ground below and bouncing two times.

After a few moments she raised a hand. "I-I'm okay!" she called out. "I-I mean... actually... no. I'm just... okay. N-no... no laughing... f-focus on R-Riventon-senpai for a moment, please," she said.

She was just going to lay here and be owie for a moment. Though, honestly... her mind was focused more on Riventon than the fight. Was it still... pretend? Or was it the role?

Amy's words now echoed a little in her mind. 'What were they fighting for?'

"I-I'm... fighting for... I wouldn't... I couldn't expect any of you to understand. But... my daddy..." she mumbled before, gingerly getting to her feet. "O-ow... owie.... still... t-time out for a moment, please."

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Snow Angel Mou Fubuki knocks Firefly down, and decides not to push it any further. Firefly's a villain, and Mou should be taking her seriously, but attacking a downed opponent is dishonorable. She squints at her opponent as a time out is asked for, and frowns as if Mou doesn't quite believe what she's hearing.

    Still, there's an opening to attack a different opponent. Mou Fubuki suddenly switches directions to aim her icy gaze at the vacuum cleaner youma. "Sucks to be you," she quips, caving into temptation. This might be her last chance to make such lame jokes and have them be topical.

    Huge rime-covered wings grow out of her back, rigid and frozen, as she thrusts her hands at Osouji. "SNOW HEART SOLSTICE!" she shouts, unleashing a torrent of snow and ice, enhanced with purifying energy. How this will mix with fire attacks, she can't quite predict, but if nothing else it's good setup for other finishers.

Mio Morita has posed:
The Pretty Cure notes the shape of the youma and gets the idea. She looks over at Yellow then up to Red. She gives a bit of a nod to them before turning her focus on the creature. Pin cries out to Daybreak, "You got it where you want it! Finish it Cure Daybreak!"

Cure Daybreak quickly turns the dial on her prebrace. "Light of Hope, become Sacred power!Pretty Cure, FIRST LIGHT SHOOT!" A magical sun appears in front of her and she punches it sending it flying with purifying energy right at Osouji. It combines with Mou Fubuki's attack making the whole thing that much stronger.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Somehow, Amy just knows she can do this. So she does.

    The magical girl mecha pilot outfit is suddenly replaced by a too-big-for-her labcoat over a dress shirt, slacks, and formal brown shoes, her hair (aside from her bangs and locks framing her face) back in a severe ponytail as she is suddenly holding glasses which she slips into place on her face and adjusts as she speaks. Her small frame dressed up like an adult with her youthful face and obviously-too-big labcoat combine for adorableness as she looks down her nose at him (it does require leaning her head back a bit far.) "Tsk tsk. You've even learned *magic*, but you aspire from there to be no better than a school bully, beating nicer people up and taking their stuff. Or perhaps you model yourself after Dr. Hyde?"

    She leans forward, the glasses briefly glinting, and peers over them at him. "Perhaps that problem had too many words." She grins and materializes her rocket launcher as she leaps towards him and Ginga Otome. "Let's turn this into a simple physics problem then! Your force will be met by equal and opposite..."

    Adorable Scientist Red aims the launcher at Riventon as she gets close, but an explosion happens *inside* the launcher, fire and rapidly-expanding hot air trying to push Riventon back away from his quarry, and also sending herself flying backward. "No wait, that doesn't... damn, I almost had the banter!"

Wako Agemaki has posed:
It is indeed a very good thing for Wako that Yellow Pearl Voice's song helps to dispel the binding that pulled her own. Even so, in the moment, this situation feels far too familiar - off balance, Riventon looming over her, preparing to bring his power to bear at point blank range.

(--trapped in Samekh's grip, barrier cracking beneath the Star Sword's blade--)

The Galactic Maiden throws both hands out as Riventon's spell slams into her shield, the curved barrier flaring with purifying pink radiance as the Dark Energy roars against it. For a few breathless moments, it's a battle of wills and of power against power: will Ginga Otome's shield bear up against the onslaught, or will Riventon's Dark Energy-fueled rage and determination break through?

Wawna's tiny avatar hovers anxiously close to her ear. < Miko-sama, do not panic! >

(DON'T PANIC in big friendly letters across a blackboard, surrounded by stars and sparkles drawn in chalk.)

The emblem flares on Wako's chest, a Y-shaped blaze of pink light. Ginga Otome clenches both hands tightly and thrusts them forward, releasing a scattershot double handful of energy bullets right into Riventon's face. "Go to hell!"

Coco Kiumi has posed:
Yellow Pearl Voice smiles as Cure Daybreak's attack purifies the demon. As the attention is currently off of her she is free to continue singing unperturbed. With the girl she directed the Aqua Regina speech to staying put, the only worry is currently the scientist hacking away at the girl behind the barrier. With everyone still busy with the youma, she could try something unhortodox and bash him with the E-Pitch, but he is armored, so not much chance that would do anything. 'Time to go Super Idol.' The bracelet on her wrist starts shining as her clothes get more elaborate and prettier. "I hope this will calm his rage down."

Surely shimmering beyond the seven seas is the story that leads all lives to paradise.
We"ll surely find out where all the birds are flying off too
Embracing that dream, we left on a journey.
    he treasure map we found at the secret cove no one can see just yet.

But the single constellation is glowing for us.
The story of the seven seas starts from here.
Many miracles are always revolving around us.
Will they ever return to us?
Even if at the end of our journey, we're to become adults.
Within the treasure boxes of our hearts, will always be our mermaid songs.
The lute's melody I heard on the beach at dawn was similar to a sweet lullaby from my hometown.
Everyone is surely protected under the veil of love. and go down their own paths.

Even when the sea is stormy, our bonds and heartbeat will still be conveyed.
Even if there is to be no light, you"ll surely be able to see something.
Before long, the sadness of the seven countries will become a song and cross the seven seas, becoming love.
I want to become a life that can warm this world.

I'll never forget.. these Tales of Mermaid.

By the time the large rainbow fades away, at the end of our dreams
will surely be an overflowing rain of happiness that we"ll all share.
At the beginning of our large journey, we didn't have a map
We just continued heading towards the future while looking to the sea.

The story of the seven seas starts from here.
Many miracles are always revolving around us and one is here once again.
By the time our journey ends, shining in our hearts
will be our most precious treasure... our Pearls of Mermaid.

Takashi Agera has posed:
    The Snow Angel's blast hits first, the Snow Heart Solstice colliding with the wounded youma and freezing it - for about long enough for First Light Shoot to connect as well. There's a soft mix of sleet and downpour in the area around the youma as it rises into the air. "Relaxing... and c-cold..." Osouji says. Then suddenly in a burst of residual energy that is promptly purified away, the vaccum that became Osouji returns, clattering harmlessly to the ground. A white egg-like object is ejected from within it, which lands on the ground and cracks, releasing an evil spirit that shieks as the residual purification from Solstice and First Light finishes off the true problem.

    The Ginga Otome doesn't give in under Riventon's pressure, which of course only makes him mad - both unintentionally, and intentionally, because when you need more energy to fuel a Dark Energy based assault, rage is a pretty good aid. Amy taunts him, and he lets it bother him. "I'll show you unequal force!" he replies, feeling that anger fully. Except the magic of Yellow Pearl Voice's song is working on him, despite his best efforts, and it's preventing him from connecting those negative emotions to his assault in quite the way he wants, the way he would need to in order to break through. He just needs to focus... "Stupid song!" he growls.

    But then Amy Faust is -right there- and her rocket-magic backblast of energy hits him - and he could have dodged it, if he didn't have his own legs still bound by Fireflie's Silence from before - but he does, and so those bindings are broken by the backblast instead, and he's probably making some sort of highly rude comment at... everyone... as he goes flying backwards and Ginga Otome's hands also follow him as he is punted backwards a fair bit...

    <DUSTERNIS MAUER.> Riventon's device calls - casting without his direction, in the dire situation. The walls of runes and circles and triangles burst into being in front of him before being coated in a thick, black, inkish sort of liquid energy. The Ginga Otome's orbs impact the Gloom Wall, exploding against the dark energy. Eventually the barrier breaks, shattering and disolving all at once, but Riventon isn't behind it.

    Where Riventon is, though, is suddenly at Firefly's side. Something had gotten him to 'snap out' of his anger, something on top of the Yellow Pearl Voice's song - maybe Firefly's or his device's words to him or the near-impact of purfication blasts. Or maybe all of the above.

    It caused him to take advantage of his moment of misdirection, not to attack one of the girls, but to get to his downed teammate. "Last lesson..." he says to Firefly, putting an arm around her "...Don't wear out your welcome. Nobody likes it when a party guest overstays." And then, less-quietly than he thinks he's saying it, he pre-emptively adds to her, "Sorry bout this. No time to see if Doors even work here." before raising up his other hand far above his head, and snapping his fingers, causing them both to flicker out of existence and into the Dusk Zone after a moment. He doesn't need to do the snapping. It's just something he -chose- to do.

    In Zero Time, until they leave, the area Osouji once occupied continues to be filled with a soft, revitalizing rain, the combination of the ice and fire finishers.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy uses a similar blast to arrest her flight and drops to the ground a bit unsteadily. She hefts the launcher on her shoulder and fires a rocket at the Gloom Wall to try and keep the pressure up on the person behind it.

    They're gone, and the day is saved, but...

    She lashed out with venom. Tried to hurt someone with words. Somehow, she doesn't quite feel like she won, after that...

Hotaru Tomoe has posed:
Firefly was, fortunately, allowed some time to catch her breath. All in all, this wasn't so bad. They got some energy, sure she got a little hurt. But someone said she was cute, the girls seemed nice. Riventon... snapped out of it. She even got to snark at Riventon a bit!

That song felt... nice. Too. Warm. Comforting, in a way. The light energy somewhat lifting her mood...

Then... "Huh?" she asked. Why was he-- "N-no! Don't, I'll--" But it was too late. She was dusk zoned.

When they arrived back in Obsidian... she coughed, hacked, crumbled and clutched on him, struggling to keep herself stable as she felt that pain inside. It wasn't.... too bad. But it felt... so unpleasant. So incredibly unpleasant... "D-do... do not like..." she mumbled softly, giving the gentleest of whimpers.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
In the relative quiet that descends, Ginga Otome flops flat on her back onto the rooftop, letting her shield dissolve into vanishing motes of light and the cool rain patter gently onto her face. "Geez," she breathes out, spent like she just sprinted a 100-meter dash. "What the heck was that?"

Soon enough, she composes herself enough to get up, absently dusting off her skirt as she looks around to the other girls. From the vantage she had, she's not wholly sure which of them fired the blast that took the pressure off her, but she knows for sure that she was helped more than once in all of this. "Thanks, everyone," she says, and bows politely to the group. The little mecha that's still hovering around her echoes the action within its bubble. "I owe you a few, I think."

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    The villains are fleeing, minus one dead youma, and Snow Angel considers the day mostly saved. Minus whatever energy they managed to take before they showed up.

    She looks down at her feet, which are still bound. She forms an icicle in her hand and starts stabbing at the bindings, trying to loosen up her feet. Once they're finally free, she starts shaking her legs to make sure they still work.

    Once Riventon and Firefly are gone, Snow looks to the other magical girls and calls out, "Is everyone here okay?"

    She winces at Ginga Otome and says, "He really liked your little robot, huh?"

Coco Kiumi has posed:
'It's finally done'. Yellow Pearl Voice undoes the the Live Stage, then walks to the others.

In particularly, she is looking at Ginga Otome, though she also gives a wave and a smile to Cure Daybreak and Red. "Are you ok?", she asks the girl, worrying the scientist did at least partially get to her.

Mio Morita has posed:
"Hope return to the Heavens." Daybreak speaks as her spell finishes. She smiles as she sees Riventon and Firefly bail out. That means this thing is done. The fight is over and the Magical Girls won! And not a single magical artifact was lost today! Everything went as it should. Well not everything. If it went as it should Riventon and Firefly wouldn't have showed up and called forth a youma in the first place. Still it went as good as it could have gone.

"Everyone okay?!" She calls out to the other magical girls present. "Pin, are you alright too?"

Pin is currently bound to the ground and struggling to get free. "Aww! Come on." Daybreak rushes over to the fairy and breaks the binding off of her.

The fairy flies up and speaks up, "I feel the sweet aroma of a cooking chef!" She sticks her nose out. "Oh Rub it please" Daybreak rubs her nose. She starts laughing and sneezes. Out pops a pair of cards, both depicting chef attire. "Look You are one step closer to your wish!"

Wako Agemaki has posed:
"Or something," Ginga Otome agrees wryly with Mou Fubuki. "I have no idea what that that was all about."

< He is a fool, > Tiny Wawna opines primly. < Our power is not for him to have. >

With a little sigh, Wako shakes her head and smiles, and looks around to the others again. "I'm fine, really," she assures Yellow Pearl Voice and Cure Daybreak. "I probably wouldn't have been if it had just been me here, though. Thank you, again." Her eyes settle on Yellow Pearl Voice with a look of recognition. "You were at the museum too, weren't you? Your singing is amazing."

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Mou Fubuki shrugs at Ginga. "Naked greed like that will get him hurt. If I actually gave him mine it might ruin his life, or at least his love life."

    She looks herself over, and then says, "Well, I'm alright, and if everyone else is then I think I'm gonna head out. I still have a lot of errands to run today!"

    With that she starts rooftop hopping away, until she finally drops down and vanishes.

    Laisa can be walking some distance away from where Mou vanished. Clearly that's unrelated.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
Yellow Pearl Voice smiles and nods. "Yep, I was at the museum too. Your abilities are impressive, especially that thing that undoes any damage."

Yellow Pearl Voice looks back to the others and reassures them she is ok.

"That was some amazing magic you all had, you dealt with everything they had quite impressively."

Walking over to Cure Daybreak and Pin, she compliments them on getting closer to their objectives, before looking over to the cards that just got out of Pin's backpack. "A chef? Is that a power up too?"

Mio Morita has posed:
Daybreak blinks at the cards in the decor now. "Oh cool!"

SHe looks up at Ginga and smiles, "Yeah I'm fine." She calls out as she looks over at Red. "You good?" She smiles and and waves to Ginga, "You are most welcome. Couldn't really sit this one out."

Daybreak smiles, "I think." She shrugs. "I know I can load cards in my mirror and stuff happens.

Pin nods excitedly, "Precards can be used for outfits or they can give extra abilities. Like the Chef cards can bring out Daybreak's cooking abilities and improve on them!"

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Adorable Scientist Red looks up at Yellow. "Huh? Oh uh... Yeah! Hey, apparently I can do this now, huh?" As she poofs the rocket launcher and holds out her arms, the labcoat's arms un-scrunch and extend past her hands to dangle. Cute.

    As the others talk, she approaches Ginga Otome, switching back to her default costume. "You were there at the school the other day too. The vine monster." And she turns to say the same to the ice mahou, but she's gone.

    When she turns back around, Daybreak is talking about how she can put cards in her henshin device for upgrades. "What are you, a kamen rider?"

    Pin explains, but... "What help is cooking in magical girl mode? Wouldn't that be more helpful when she's, y'know... not transformed?"

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy's tone is one of earnest curiousity. She's done being snarky for now.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
"Ah, thanks!" She honestly seemed to have half forgotten about Zero Time until Yellow Pearl Voice mentioned it - as though it were possible to forget that the sky has gone Technicolor. "It's convenient for these things, but I suppose we don't need it now."

Ginga Otome brings her hands briefly to her chest, once more focusing her attention to dispel the barrier. The brilliant starfield fades, returning the sky to its normal colors, and the distant background noises of the suburbs resume.

Daybreak's explanation and Pin's elaboration catch her interest. "Ehhh~" she says, drawing the sound out with an impressed upward inflection. "That's pretty cool!"

Then Red's speaking to her, and she looks up, brows lifting. "That's right. You and the ice girl were both there for that one. Thanks for your help there as well!"

Coco Kiumi has posed:
"It's quite lovely that your magic helps out for everyday things. That album there must also be quite useful." She smiles at Cure Daybreak. "This was my first time fighting three foes at the same time. I'm glad you got out of it well."

Looking at Red, she tells her it's good she is all well. At Red's question, she checks her whole apparel. 'Isn't that quite childish? And yet... some presence also tells me... it's cute? Why do I get these thoughts around her? What's going on here?' She smiles nervously at Amy. "Oh... Yeah, it's very neat... But... can I ask how your magic works exactly? Can it influence someone's thoughts?"

Mio Morita has posed:
Pin smiles, "These ones don't really work when Daybreak is henshined. They are for when she is in mundane mode." She giggles a little bit before flying over to Red and flops down on her head. "Its okay, you didn't know."

Daybreak nods, "Yeah that is kinda cool. These are the first cards I collected so far. There is a lot to go but it will be worth it!" She smiles and brings her hand together over her chest. "When I collect all the cards I get one wish." She smiles. "I can't wait!"

Amanda Faust has posed:
> Thanks for your help earlier!
    Red spins around once and then *curtseys*, smiling. "You're welcome! I wasn't sure rockets were good there, so I focused on the students, but you three had it handled!"

> How does your magic work? What can you do?
    Red shrugs. "If I knew how magic worked there are so many other things I'd do with it! Maybe we could solve some of those bigger problems threatening the world... Besides the rockets, I guess I can do some outfits? I *hope* I can't effect minds, mind-controlling people would be kinda... eugh... you know?"

> Cards
    "Oh! That's handy then." I can't wait! "Oh? Do you have a wish in mind?"

Coco Kiumi has posed:
"A wish?" Yellow Pearl Voice perks in curiosity at that information from Cute Daybreak. 'That's quite the powerful item she got there.' She considers asking what Cure Daybreak wants, but she is not sure if she is going to end up striking a personal note."I hope you get what you wish for. Let's pick up on our stroll again one of these times, ok?"

She looks at Red, pensive. "It's just there is something weird going on when I look at you specifically, like I feel an unusual presence speaking to me, it's quite weird. Maybe you can ask your magical pet about that, Blue seemed to think he knew a lot more than you. I guess I will go now, let's see each other again."

She waves at Cure Daybreak, Red and Ginga Otome, before detransforming somewhere away from people's sight and going away.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
"Helping the others was the most important thing," Ginga Otome tells Red. "I was really glad you did that. It could've been bad if you hadn't gotten them out of the crossfire."

She listens to the conversation for a moment more, but seems distracted. When Yellow Pearl Voice takes her leave, the Galactic Maiden waves and takes a step back herself. "I should get going, too. Take care, everyone."

She waits until she's out of sight before she lets her transformation dissipate, and tugs her phone out of her pocket to find out if she got any decent pictures of the... vacuum cleaner youma.

Mio Morita has posed:
"I think I do." Daybreak states to Red. "I don't think I wanna say it right now. Its kinda complicated you know." She turns to Yellow and smiles to her. "Thank you. As long as I keep fighting, I will get my wish and I know it will be awesome." She beams happily.

"I think I am going to get going as well." Daybreak smiles and her back bow turns into magical wings once again. "Thank you all. I hope to fight beside everyone again." She smiles happily, "Until next time!" She lifts off and goes flying away to safely transform back to her mundane self. Pin flies with her, trying to keep up!

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Red blinks at Yellow. Uhh, *what*? *That's* something she'll have to find out more about later!

    Ginga thanks her for helping. She blushes and looks down at the floor awkwardly. "Th-thanks, I was just trying to be useful."

    Daybreak isn't telling her wish yet. "Yeah, that's fair. Uh... see you all around, I guess!" she, too, finds someplace unseen to detransform.
