Synopsis: | Sunbreaker, La Crima, Catra and Double Trouble decide to go on a girl's night out! When they run into Adora, to nobody's response... they decided to mess with her. |
Cast of Characters: | Hinoiri Kirara, Catra, Double Trouble, Norie Okana, Adora Rainbowfist |
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker is, well, in a not-so-good mood. And frankly she knows a few of the other 'villains' aren't either. And so she'd gathered the ladies of Obsidian (and another friend of hers) and given them an option. Girls night out?
Girls night out.
And by girls night out it mostly meant let's go do some graffiti, maybe break some windows in an old warehouse area, maybe pick some fights with idiots who like to pick fights with 'little girls' and just have a night of causing trouble where we have absolutely no reason at all to feel guilty. Also, maybe steal some stuff. She didn't know. She was in a bad mood and didn't really know how this worked. But they'd start... at the abandoned district.
The weird place that was, well, abandoned.
Start small, work their way up. She looked mostly human. Aside from the shadowy eel that followed her around. And the horn. and occasional flicks of fire. And while she waited for the others to arrive she just... picked up a brick and chucked it into a window. WOO! She was so dark and BAD! Break windows in old abandoned buildings, woo!
... Okay so it was her first time like. Doing a villain's night out don't judge.
- Catra has posed:
Catra is the next to arrive, and tonight she's come as... herself. The heck with that annoying disguise illusion. Tonight she's just not wearing it, and she's out and about as her proper feline self and proud of it; ears, tail, claws, lousy attitude and all. She's got a backpack slung over her shoulder as well, which has exactly one thing in it: Rattle cans. She's got pink, blue, red, green, purple, white, black, orange, and yellow.
Well, the yellow one isn't in the backpack right now, she's got it in hand.
"Hey Sunbreaker." She greets her fellow villain with a grin after the window-break, and promptly turns the spray can on a nearby wall.
Pfhwsssssssst. Catra starts working on an eye, before fishing out a blue can so she can work on another one. Might as well get it right.
"Any plan for tonight? Or just break stuff and hurt people?"
- Double Trouble has posed:
Double Trouble is always up for spreading chaos and sowing destruction, and they've been missing it. The current phase of their master plan has them making friends, not causing trouble. So a chance to go out on the town and tear it down? They were all in. And they were going out to do some villainy so why not just wear their actual face? It's not like it'll ever get linked back to perfect, innocent Dianora.
They arrive and offer a wave. "Hello, darlings, are we ready to have some fun?"
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima arrives and in her usual, dramatic tone of neutrality goes.
"Hey." how does she arrive? She arrives via stepping out of the duskzone with a little wispy smoke motion. She watches Sunbreaker pickup and throw a brick. She watches Catra spraypaint the wall. Her eyes go wide.
"S...should we...really be..." she trails off. It doesn't occur to her she can't be arrested. Or noted as anyone but La Crima in this form.
"...uh.. I..." she rubs the back of her head. Someone is gonna have to shove something in her other hand and tell her to live a little, probably.
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker had broken a window. Oh my gosh. She was sooooo bad. The baddest of the bad. She could... no. Wait. Would Sora approve? Oh... WHO CARED?! She huffed and then... Went to Catra. Grabbing a can of black paint, she walked to Norie and put it in her hand.
"The plans for tonight... is for all of us to stop stressing. We've all been through some unfair shit in the last... who knows how long. We've all, then, had to put up with those annoying sparkle skirts jumping into our business and interfering. Acting as if *we* deserve this stupid obnoxious crap. Most of us have gotten dragged away from our homes, our victories, our worlds. Have had so much taken from us..."
"So tonight? We get to let go. No energy draining. No dark energy shit. Just us girls having some fun and relaxing. Best of all, no sparkle skirts. After all, they have no reason to interfere, no?"
She then motioned to the wall. "And go on, La Crima. Have some fun for once. This entire area? Abandoned. Nobody comes here. We'll start off here, get out some aggression, then we'll go into town if we decide to be around people. So don't be such a worry wart. We're starting nice and soft." She then went back to the bag and... grabbed a white and orange one. Getting to work and... huh. Actually... this was pretty fun. As she began... panting... a... winged... horse? But with some... ahem. Exagerated... features.
She was making a parody of Sora. DT likely knew this. Because what else would she do?
- Catra has posed:
Catra just keeps doing what she's doing, starting with the eyes; one yellow and one blue, before she just puts the backpack down so she can get at the colors herself more easily. Luckily, she brought more than one can of black and white, and she starts using that next. Specifically, she's drawing a face. Is it her face? Looks a lot like it. Low she's pretty low skill at this. But who cares.
"If we go into town, I want to get a motorcyle," she pronounces. "The dirt bikes were fun, but I want something bigger that I can use to get around on the streets," she explains. "I wonder if you can get a Harley Davidson in Japan? I was looking at those on the internet, they look awesome."
The feline keeps going about her current graffiti attempt, until she decides that it's good enough; at which point she gets out the red can and adds 'Catra was here' at the bottom. Because that's not... totally childish at all, no.
"I don't plan on paying for it either," she adds. "It's not like the Horde ever bought anything. We just took what we wanted! I don't see any reason it oughta be different around here."
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima has a can of black spray paint. She looks down at it and then back up with a frown. "Well...I..I guess if it's abandoned...and no one will care..." she says. They're gonna let loose steam! They're gonna be bad! No dark energy BS! Just girls being girls!... whatever...t..that meant.
What's the baddest English word she knows! Wait! She knows!
She just spray paints the word 'FUCK' on the wall.
Because she's literarily twelve and her brother taught her this word and she got in SO MUCH TROUBLE when her parents caught her saying it once.
"...W..what's a Horde?" she asks quietly to Catra.
- Double Trouble has posed:
Letting go looks a little bit different for Double Trouble. They're an actor not an artist. Sure they could throw a brick, but if they're letting go, that means freely shifting from face to face. And well, the first one they put on is only going to be familiar to one other person. A person whose back is turned to them while she spray paints her self portrait.
"Catra!" A familiar low, husky voice calls out. "Just what do you think you're doing?!" Standing there with her feet obscured by the wispy shadows of her robes is Shadow Weaver. She looms a little, and it can't possibly be true because this isn't actually Shadow Weaver, but the shadows seem to loom a little with her.
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
Villains aren't the only ones who need a night out.
The Ball has been playing over and over in the blonde's little brain, and the packed halls of the School have felt overwhelming. Finally, tired of staring at the black and white cat mask on the wall, she heads out. She dresses for a run, with those stupidly tight running pants and athletic shoes, along with a loose, sleeveless shirt and a sports bra. The shirt shows a cartoonish man with a big moustache and a monicle on the front. She pulls her hauir back and pops her earbuds in before hitting the street.
The kid starts off with a slow jog, moving through the streets and keeping up a stationary jog at the corners while she waits for the walk sign. She listensa to the music and just lets the Mountain Goats blast the thoughts out of her head for tonight. She wants to be so tired by the end of the night that she can't even dream. It's because she always dreams about Her.
She slowly works her way deeper and deeper into the city, and farther and farther from the safety of the other Magical Girls. She has no idea she's slowly heading in the direction of a group of girls (And a lizard) cutting loose and trying to have a good night.
Would it be so bad to just...go join -her-?, she thinks to herself. It goes against everything she believes, but at the same time? She grits her teeth and kicks that thought aside. No. She was given the Sword to protect, not subjugate.
But still...
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker snickered as she made the alicorn, putting the white and orange in the bag and rummaging through as she kept making the... weird... alicorn with a multi-colored mane. And a really fat butt. And she had stink lines. And her wings were having VERY big feathers. And she had a speech bubble with 'blah blah blah'.
Someone was obsessed.
"Sure, we can go steal some. I think there's a biker bar around here somewhere. I don't think they have harley's, though. Mostly Honda, kawasaki, suzuki and yamaha," Sunbreaker said, before sitting back and admiring her work. It was... good. Even with the exagerated features. "I'll show you how to partially yomafy a vehicle. It's like hotwiring it, but you make it kind of alive. Way easier to drive," she said. She then snickered at La Crima's spray painted words... then reached down, grabbing a brick. She walked to La Crima, took the spray can... and slid the brick into her hand. "Go on. Just imagine one of those windows are one of those *jerks* who try and act like they know better than you do what you're going through. Who try and act so high and mighty even though they have no idea what it feels like..."
Then she let the brick and La Crima go, to see what she did... Then glanced to Shadowweaver. "... Who is that supposed to be?"
- Catra has posed:
Catra turns around with two spray cans in hand, and almost lets the fake Shadow Weaver have it. ...Almost.
"...Damnit Double Trouble, I almost turned you black and white," the feline grumbles, as th fur on her tail slowly returns to normal and her ears perk back up. "You oughta know better than to surprise me like *that*."
She takes the red and yellow can, leaving the other ones in the bag, and goes to a wall. Spraying 'Adora Sux' on it crosses her mind, but that just seems... Okay look, it's just too *obvious*, okay?
"I don't need it to be easy to drive," Catra replies. "It just has to be fun. ...I'm not saying don't show me though, that sounds like good stuff to know." She tilts her head, glancing in La Crima's direction. "What's the Horde? The military force I used to be part of, back home on Etheria. We were winning too. And I was second in command." She sighs softly. "I do miss that part."
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima is handed a brick, after having the spray can taken from her and she blinks. And looks to the unbroken window.
One turns into Amy Faust, and the other, into Sayaka Miki, ala Puella Magi, and she gets a little angry. Both girls who think they 'know best' for her, and sure they claim to want to help but do they truly know what it's like? Of course they don't. They have no idea how to help her and and...
She 'harumphs!' and tosses the brick through the air and it clatters down into one of the windows with a resounding clash.
Double Trouble turns into someone she doesn't know. But Catra seems to know. She blinks a little as she looks back to Catra as she explains The Horde. "Oh.." she says quietly.
She looks to the window. "I hope no one catches us out here..." she trails off. "I mean we'll have to like. Energy drain someone dumb enough to come across us." she says dryly. "Unless they go away when we tell them to."
- Double Trouble has posed:
Shadow Weaver laughs. It's not so much an evil laugh, but it sure is a voice made for them. And then her body morphs into an inky black shape and then solidifies again as Double Trouble and they keep on laughing. "The look on your face, darling, it was totally worth it," they say. "Absolutely priceless."
They finally walk up to the bag of spray paint and grab a couple of cans--just black and white--and pick a bare patch of wall and going to town. First they spray a large box and then they start drawing inside of it, swirling the colors around each other. In the end it's a very abstract piece, a sort of whorled Rorshach image.
They listen to what Catra says, and wonder to themselves how she'd take learning how things turned out. But they don't bring it up. That would totally ruin the mood. That's not the kind of drama they want.
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
Run, Adora. Just put one leg in front of the other until your chest burns and you can't feel your limbs. Run until you're too tired to think. Her jog turns into a run, pushing herself hard enough that people begin to stare...until she turns a corner and random strangers stop peppering the street.
She's too distracted to even notice when she arrives in the rougher, more abandoned part of Tokyo. Old, closed up shops and long-forgotten houses, seperated by dangerous looking bars and similar places. Sweat shines on her body as she pushes herself.
At one point, however, something goes wrong with her blutooth headphones, and they beep off. She slowsd and plucks them from her ears, glaring down at them. "Come on you stupid, freaking things. How do you work?"
It is at that point that hears the shattering of glass one block over, and her head raises. This could help her mood, for sure. She tucks her earbuds away and tries to catch her rushing breath as she creeps down the street, one hand reaching to make sure that the bracelet is hanging around one wrist. It is. The blonde leans around a corner, staring down the alleyway at the gathering.
No. Way.
Double Trouble is lucky enough to be standing in such a way that they are temporarily blocked by another body. But she sees the other, recognizing only one of them. THE one of them, for her.
So, still winded and panting and shiny, the girl steps around the corner and appears, cocking her head to the side. "What're you up to, girls?," she calls out. She immediatly wants to slap her forehead. What a stupid opener. Well, too late now.
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker gave a small nod to Catra. "Oh, trust me. It'll be a lot of fun. Bikes always are," she said.
Then turned her eyes back to La Crima. It felt, oddly, good to help the little brat get some of her aggression out. Maybe she felt the girl deserved some. Or maybe it was because of the fact the girl had helped her once. Or maybe having another girl doing bad things with her made her feel less... troubled by doing them. "Oh, don't worry. Even if they do, what are they going to do? Yell at us for damaging abandoned buildings? 'Oh no, stop trashing the garbage!' Please. It..." And then... 'What're you up to, girls?'
"Oh for SORA'S SAKE!" Sunbreaker snapped, the flames around her rising up in her ire. "What NOW? Are you another damn sparkle skirt? We haven't even DONE anything! See, this is why we're so frustrated! What, did the damn dilapitated building SPAWN you or something?! I swear everywhere we go you girls just pop out of the ground! Like daisies! Is someone fucking tagged?!" Okay, so she was A BIT ANNOYED BY THEM ALWAYS SHOWING UP! "So, who are you supposed to be? Cure Airhead?" she snapped. "Beat it!"
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima is listening to Sunbreaker and then oh no! Some one finds them! She 'awks!' and throws the brick she has hefting next into the air into a fumble and it *BONGS* off the top of a trash can lid and she points at Adora. "H--hey! Don't...you... dare ruin our fun or..or.."
"Or I'll eat you!" she says, sort of wiggling fingers at her. "Oowooowowowow, don't make us eat youuuu!" she says in dramatic fashion.
"We're vicious monsters and we'll eattttt youuu!" she goes.
She did not make a very convincing evil monster as she was right now she's like a fancy young girl in a goth dress.
- Double Trouble has posed:
There are a scant few people in this world who would recognize Double Trouble, and they are only trying to keep their presence in this world secret from one of them. The one who just happened to walk right up to them. Double Trouble does the only thing they can, they improvise. There's a shift to black and a shimmer of light and they put on a new face.
"ADORA!" Glimmer calls out as she dashes out from behind the person she was standing behind. "OhmgodIamsogladtoseeyou!" She runs right up to the girl and leaps at her for a hug. "What are you doing here?" She acts as if she didn't even know Adora was here, as if she's not right here with Catra. Surely that would have come up, right?
- Catra has posed:
Catra has picked up a brick, and is right about to throw it through a window when 'What're you up to, girls?' happens. And of course it's not just *any* princess or sparkle skirt or hex chick or whatever they are around here. It's *the one*. That one. Y'know, the one she has history with.
It's Adora.
Catra was right about to throw a brick at a window, and she's not about to change her plan just because Adora's here. That's not how plans work! "What are we doing?" she answers, adopting her poisoned honey tone of voice. "We're breaking things, making a mess, and generally having a good time. Y'know, blowing off some steam." She pauses, lobbing the brick through a window with a loud crash.
"Honestly it's pretty easy, I just pretend this is Brightmoon. Y'know, like that one time, if you hadn't been lucky and Mermista showed up." She grins, kneeling to pick up another brick, and then tossing it up into the air and catching as if it were a baseball.
"Honestly, I think the real question is what on Etheria are you doing here, Adora? This isn't exactly the Princess Prom."
Though of course, there's Double Trouble now masquerading as Glimmer. Catra knows full well that it's actually Double Trouble, but she's not about to say anything. That would ruin the moment! Instead she just stands there and smirks. But that's hardly going to give anything away; when is she not smirking?
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
Adora blinks at Sunbreaker and shakes her head. "Hey! I didn't even do anything yet! I just wanted to know what you were up to!," the blonde replies. It isn't like she She-Ra'd and rushed them! But it's fair to assume she's here to break up their fun, she figures. "And I'm not an airhead! Rude."
She sees the graffiti then and let's out a soft 'ooooh' as she figures it out. "Breaking stuff and making pictures? Well...I...I guess it isn't like anyone lives or works here..." She's wrestling with herself a little bit as she glances between them, her bright eyes always ending and focusing on Catra the longest.
And then a bruick hits a trash can and La Crima is threatening her. Well, sort of threatening her. "Uh. Please don't eat me," she replies with a few blinks, and then a stifled laugh. "Here's a tip, whoever-you-are. Take some intimidation tips from Catra. She's got that -down-. Also, super cute dress. I could never pull it off, but you are!" She sounds like she means it. It ALSO seems like she is trying to be friendly as best she can. The girl wipes sweat from her forehead, clearing her throat.
Aaaaand then Glimmer is here. Her jaw drops and she is stunned, before she is suddenly being hugged. She picks Glimmer up and twirls her like she weighs nothuing before crushing her to her in a hug.
"GLIMMER?? I am so happy to see you! I can't believe you're here!" She's so lost for words and so happy she briefly forgets the villains and is actually crying, those droplets falling into that sparkly hair.
She is going to be so, so mad. "What are you doing with them?? Are you okay? I know the Horde kidnapped you before. Did Obsidian? You're safe now."
She looks over Glimmer's shoulder at Catra and frowns.
"I...I was out for a run," she tries to explain. "I was lost in...y'know. Thinking. And then my earbuds died and I heard the shattering. Figured it was just some punks I was gonna beat up..."
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker opened her mouth and almost made a comment about 'kidnapping'. Obsidian doesn't do that! Or something.
It likely would have been a poor choice of words. And it was... there was no way to say it right. She sighed. "So, fine, you're not here to cause us grief. Oh. Ohhhhhh. I get it. You're Catra's ex, aren't you?" Sunbreaker asked.
"Out for a run. In the middle of nowhere, to an old abandoned part of town? Really? Either you're a total idiot... or you came for Catra, didn't you? Trying to see if she was doing anything she wasn't supposed to? Trying to play the good, loyal little girlfriend?" Sunbreaker asked in a... somewhat angry... somewhat amused tone. Definitely veering angry. Though, an idea came to her mind.
Also, who the fuck was... Glimmer and why was... Oh my gosh. She face palmed. So much annoyance. She'd run with it, for now. "So she's another one of your friends? And no, we didn't kidnap her. In fact... we invited her to join us. Just a night of good, clean fun. Break some windows. Do a bit of graffiti..." And then she snapped her fingers, a brick lifting up and... flying directly in front of Adora's face.
"You know, you want Catra to join you so bad, don't you? So why don't you give what she's doing a shot? Show her you can be just as... well. You'll never be as cool. But can at least pretend to make an effort towards being on her side."
The brick just hovering there. Adora wouldn't take it, though, she knew that. It'd be the same as offering it to Sora. She was too perfect. Too clean. Too goody goody. Not at all like the failures, the rejects, the unwanted, the ones who were never good enough no matter how much they fought and raged and sacrificed it was all meaningless AND NO HER FIRE GROWING BIGGER LIKE THAT WASN'T WEIRD DON'T ASK!
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima just stares at Adora and frowns a little. "I'm trying to ... to be scary!?" she mutters. "I'm not joking about eating you! I'll...I'll eat you..." she says angrily as she huffs and puffs and and...
Picks up another brick and throws it at a window, smacking into another grouping of abandoned trash cans. She can't even hit a window now. She frowns and hrmphs.
"Wait."
"Do you guys know one another? Why don't you just leave us alone then." she mutters.
"Or join us."
"I don't care now." she hrmphs! and looks away poutily.
- Double Trouble has posed:
Glimmer is spun around, and then she takes a step back. She looks more or less like she did the last time Adora saw her, except she's not wearing Etherian clothes any more. She's still dressed all in purples and blues. "Oh, no, do I look kidnapped?" She says with a laugh. "We're all just out having some fun, Adora. Don't you remember how to have fun?"
She turns and walks over to the backpack full of paint cans and grabs a purple one out of the bag, she throws it toward Adora. "Come on, girl, let loose have some fun. Express yourself. Nobody cares about this building. It feels good, I promise."
- Catra has posed:
Catra cant pass this up.
"Yep! Looks like in this world, Glimmer's with us, Adora." She walks up and elbows Glimmer in the ribs in a friendly fashion, before picking up a spray can again -- pink this time. "You *sure* you don't want to join Obsidian? It's fun, I promise. Plus, world domination... all that stuff we talked about whne we were kids, we can actually *do it* with Obsidian."
The cat shakes the can, making the ball bearing inside it rattle about noisily before she picks a spot on the wall and just starts... spraying. It doesn't really look like she's doing anything in particular; probably, she can't do anything in particular, because she's too busy looking over her shoulder to watch Adora's reactions.
"Haven't you ever wondered what it's like to just... cut loose? Have a little fun? Break something?" She shrugs her shoulders. "Glimmer's right, have a good time. Throw the brick at something. You'll like it."
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
The blonde watches that brick hover in front of her, and she chews her lip as she tries to decide what to do. She glances from Sunbreaker to Catra and back again. "I just went for a run," she responds softly, sounding distraught. La Crima gets a confused glance. She really doesn't know how to deal with this new girl just yet. So, instead she turns to watch Glimmer step back and go for the spray can. One hand reaches out for the brick, and the other for the can. She stares down at them both.
"I...I'm confused. You'd...what?" She glances up again, the hero looking completely flabbergasted and at a loss for words. She looks to Catra, hoping deep down that mabye her cat will help clear all this up. Good luck there.
She swallows. "F-fine. I'm not joining Obsidian b-but...I can...I dunno. Hang out with you both for a bit..." Her heart is in her stomach. She grips the birkc tightly and turns, hurling it through an unbroken window.
*SMASH*
She then looks back at Catra, eyes wide.
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker blinked a few times. Holy... crud. She did it. She actually did it... Then... huh. Oh. Ohhhhh. Noooo. she wasn't like Sora. Not at all. The flames died slightly and she glanced towards the window.
It seemed that Adora was just... a follower. She was just another idiot, hanging off the words of those around her. She just did it for applause. The moment the good guys weren't there.... she followed the bad guys.
Pathetic.
"You know, you really seem to have a... weird idea of how things work, Adora. Catra has told me a bit about what your world was like. The Horde, all that. But... Obsidian isn't the Horde. They aren't some big rah rah, evil mega destroying... thing. Maybe things aren't as cut and dry as you think."
"How about you two keep her company. La Crima?" she said, giving the other girl a little wink and holding out her hand. Her familiar rose out of her gem again, swirling around her wrist for a moment. "How about we go and grab the next bit of entertainment and these three can catchup?"
She deeeeefinitely was taking all of it well. Yup. And wasn't bitter or anything about things that didn't even really make sense for her to be bitter about now. Nope.
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima sort of face falters and looks at Sunbreaker. "Oh...!" she says. "I wanna join and and steal a motocycle! and ride on one and not wear a helmet and do lots of other stuff I'm not allowed to do too!" she says with a little series of claps!
Then Adora says she isn't joining Obsidian and La Crima looks back to Adora with a shocked look!
She practically slides forward and casts glowing, purple eyes at Adora. "You want to join Obsidian." she says. "It's where your friend's are..." she says, getting up into her face-- which she can do despite the height difference because she'll float if she has to.
"Everything is great in Obsidian!" she says, spookily. Neutrally and it's really clear she's actually trying something sinister like mind-control here. That might work.
if Adora wasn't also a magical girl. Instead, she's probably giving Adora massive intoning headache with her voice and gaze.
- Double Trouble has posed:
Glimmer just stands by with wide eyes and watches as Adora actually grabs the brick and breaks a window. She did not think that girl had it in her. She just stands there and gloats a little at her obvious influence. That's acting, darling.
And then La Crima is trying to influence Adora and it is, quite frankly, adorable. Glimmer cannot help but make big, adoring eyes and giggle. Too cute. She claps and then turns to look back at Adora. "Alright, now go paint a picture. Whatever pops into your mind," she encourages. Then she gestures over toward the black and white painting she made earlier. "That's mine."
She waits a moment, and then looks over toward Catra, and says, "So do you wanna keep vandalizing this building, or do you want to go steal a motorcycle?" Then she looks back toward Adora with a wicked sort of look in her eyes.
Wow, Glimmer got dark.
- Catra has posed:
"Oh, I want to go steal a motorcycle," she replies. "Not one that I'll keep though. Just a joy ride for a while." She shrugs her shoulders. "But not yet. First I want to see what kind of picture Adora's going to vandalize this wall with." She grins, and points to wards the backpack, that has rattlecans overflowing from it. "More paints over there, if you don't have enough colors."
The cat stands back, clasping her hands behind her head as Double Trouble and La Crima work on Adora, and Sunbreaker throws in her opinions as well. This is basically just too good. "Obsidian is a lot more like the Horde than the Brightmoon Bunch, though," she points out. "They're *smart* for one thing. Glimmer figured that out right away when she got here."
With the pink paint still in hand, she grabs an orange one as well, for the most... visually offensive color combination she can currnetly think of, and starts spraying them onto a wall. Again, not doing anything in particular, just... making a mess.
"Maybe we could find some bikers, or Yakuza or something, and beat them up for their bikes? That'd be fun."
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
Adora isn't a follower. Not really. She's just running out of ideas on how to make Catra love her again.
And then La Crima is floating there and staring into her eyes, and that piercing migraine splits into her skull. She drops the rattle can and grabs the side of her head, wincing. "OW! What the he..."
She glares at the girl. "What are you doing?! Quit it!"
And then Glimmer is talking about stealing motorcycles and Adora hesitates now. Uh oh. DT might have overplayed their hand a little.
"...What the hell is going on?" She IS a bit dumb, but she also knows her friends.
But just as Adora is starting to question the con Catra is talking. She flusters for a moment and picks turns to take the can from Sunburster finally. "Okay..."
She steps up to the wall next to where Catra sprayed the two eyes. She then turns and stuffs the can away and finds a blue one and a black one. She takes a deep breath and begins spraying a little over Catra's...but not exactly covering it. Instead, when she's done, it looks like a pair of blue eyes are overlaid with her own. She steps back and swallows.
"I shouldn't have done that."
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker couldn't help it, she snickered. She, after a moment, started laughing. Hard. Shaking her head, she just... okay, now she was just amused. La Crima's little mind control attempt, this 'Glimmer', Adora's little twist and turns...
"Shouldn't have done what? Painted a bit of a paint over something nobody cares about?" she asked. "That's just it, Adora. None of this matters. That's the POINT of tonight. We're not doing anything 'bad'. We're just destroying garbage," she said before motioning towards the building.
"And stealing from bad people. If you really wanna get upset about it... just consider the fact... the people we're gonna steal bikes from? They're probably a *lot* worse than the horde. They'd attack civilians, all of that."
She then reached out and lightly ruffled La Crima's hair. "And we're going to, trust me. You've got your familiar, right? Not sure how good you are at driving. But I'll show you how to get your familiar to go into one. Take it over from the inside out."
She started to walk... "I think there's a place over here somewhere. And listen, Adora... it's fine. So long as you only hurt bad people, it's okay. Isn't it? After all... you sparkle skirts hurt us and get in our way *all the time*, but it never bothers any of you, right? That's why your little friend, Glimmer, is with us too..."
"Because we're only hurting bad people now. Otherwise... maybe we'd even hurt good people. though, you might wanna... magic up. You wouldn't want anyone we're going to piss off to remember you, after all. They *are* bad people and all."
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima looks confused! Why didn't that work! She looks absolutely taken aback!
She flails as frowns. "Why didn't that work!? That usually always works unless..."
Oh..oh she is magic. Because Sunbreaker is telling her to magic up. Okay.
Alright.
She looks over to Sunbreaker as she says, neutrally. "I Brought Mister Squiggles in his gem, yes." she says matter of fact.
She'll follow along, of course!
- Double Trouble has posed:
"It's like stealing hoverbikes from the Horde in the Fright Zone, Adora, it's okay," Glimmer says, because she saw that look Adora gave her. It's good to see Adora's paying attention. That she's noticing stuff. Now that she knows what's too far, she's pretty sure she knows how to play it. "Like I said. You really need to loosen up and have fun!"
She looks at what Adora painted and claps. "Love it!" Then she gestures for Adora to follow, and says, "Come on!" Then she heads over to stand next to Sunbreaker, ready to move on to Phase 2 of Villains Night Out.
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
Adora frowns as she glances over at Hinoiri. "I...well, if this isn't used and...the people are bad people...," she mutters, as if trying to convince herself. She tugs her hair out of its ponytail, as if that signifies 'bad girl Adora'.
She glances at the others as she tosses the can back into the back, looking back at her little painting and sighing. "It didn't work cause I'm Magical, I guess. Also, don't try that again. That...hurt!" She runs her fingers back through her hair as she turns towards Glimmer.
"Loosen up. Heh. Coming from the Queen herself. Alright, alright. I'll try. BUT if thise goes too far I'm putting my boot down, got it?" She takes a deep breath and moves to follow, even though she tries to fall in at Catra's side in the process.
- Catra has posed:
"Alright, time to go steal some motorcyles and ride around town like a buncha wild girls," Catra drawls, lazily picking up the bag full of spray cans and tossing it over one shoulder. She holds one can in hand and just... sprays a line along the wall, not really caring what she sprays, as long as it isn't someone else's creation from the last toe minutes.
Adora wants to walk beside her? For a moment it seems like she might actually do it, but then she just... slips off in a different direction. Nope! Not going to be that easy to get. She still ends up standing beside Hinoiri, where she tosses the can up in the air, letting it tumble end over end several times before catching it again.
"So, where are we going? Biker bar? Sometimes else? There's *gotta* be people with good bikes around here somewhere." She taps her bottom lip, "Hey, I saw a poster for a show called 'Akida' or 'Akima' or something... Can you get a bike like -- OH! 'Akira' it was called. Can you find bikes like *that* around here?"
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara glanced back to Catra and then gave a shrug... Then glanced back to Adora... and smirked at her. 'Your girlfriend chose to walk with me, neener neener'. Not that she'd say that. After all, she was a mature, responsible... okay, she was none of those things but even SHE knew it would sound WAY too petty if she were to say that.
She then glanced back to Catra and, while Adora couldn't see, gave her a little wink. "Yup, biker bar. Real nasty sort, the kind of thugs who'd as soon gut yah as serve you a pie. No idea about this Akira thing, but maybe? Who knows?" ... Pie?
Of course, it wouldn't take her long to find the place... An old, rundown place that had a couple of big brutes outside who, immediately, yelled a few 'cat calls' at the halloween freaks...
And who were quickly dropped by, really, any of them. A bit of draining, likely not enough to kill, but mayyyybe give them a bit of a nasty headache.
"Now, For La Crema?" she said. She then flicked out her gemstone, making her familiar dive out... and then it seemed to phase out, disappearing INTO the bike. A moment later the bike turned dark, black, with a big unicorn horn and extra flames along it.
"Your familiar will do the rest of the work. The rest of you..." She then went to another bike, guiding a bit of dark energy into it, demonstrating a simple spell and... "Oh, huh. I think your ex will need to catch a ride with one of the rest of us, unless she's suddenly decided to play with dark energy."
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima follows along with a skip and a jump.
"Danananana."
"Daanananana. Daann daaa. Bad to the bone."
Yes, La Crima is following along badly singing and sound mimicking 'Bad to the Bone'. This is not very bad to the bone.
When they arrive there's some bouncers cat calling the older girls and making fun of the 'Halloween Freaks' and... oh. They're making fun of them. So she grabs at one of the men's wrists and--
Down they go with an energy drain because that's just what happens when you touch... LA CREAMA...
Wait. La Crema!? She looks back to Sunbreaker and FROWNS. She heard that, but ignores that for the peace of the evening before she watches what Sunbreaker does. She holds forth her gem and---
A GIANT TENTACLE MONSTER HOPS INTO A MOTORCYCLE with a similar phase out effect as she just steals whichever ones immediately steals her fanc y.
- Double Trouble has posed:
Catra is, well, being Catra. This is Glimmer's opportunity to shine. She falls back from her spot next Hinoiri, falling in next to Adora. She even bumps her shoulder up against the other girl's. "It's so good to see you," she says, with a tentative smile. "I was so worried I was never going to see anybody again, before she found me," she says, nodding toward Catra.
She leans in a little closer and lowers her voice. "She doesn't seem to remember...a lot of stuff, though," she says. It's a stage whisper. She's not actually trying to not be heard.
She's generally talkative. She's only just arrived. She has no idea how she got here. She unfortunately can't teleport because she's just too far from her crystal that is still in Etheria. She can still do magic, though, using Dark Energy.
And then they get to the bar. Who loves violence? Glimmer Brightmoon loves violence. So long as the targets of her violence deserve it. And that bouncer surely deserves it. He catcalled her. So while La Crima takes down one bouncer, she just rushes in and punches the other one right in the face. His nose crumples around her fist and he falls down, unconscious.
Glimmer has been...working out.
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
Adora tries not to droop when Catra runs off with Hinoiri. She was trying, but it wasn't enough! She grits her teeth a bit and follows the others to the rundown bar. She doesn't get La Crima's musical interlude, but she smiles at her with encouragement, anyways!
And then Glimmer is there, and she offers her a smile, bumping shoulders as best she can with their height difference. "It's good to see you, too. I really think you'd shine at the school, honestly. You should give it a try..."
The blonde frowns, then, and nods. "She's not the same Catra. Well, she IS, but she's from...earlier," she whispers back. "Before the love and before we defeated the Horde and then the Armada and she brought me back to life and all that stuff."
When the fight goes down she even delivers a solid punch to one thug, sending him tumbling back onto the asphalt. It DID feel good, she had to admit. Glimmer's violence certainly catches her off-guard, though! She doesn't mention it, though, just filing it away for now. Something to talk with her about later.
But then that dark energy was flowing freely, and she'd be lieing if she said it didn't make her incredibly uncomfortable. It reminded her too much of Shadow Weaver's energy, and she cast a quick look over at Catra and Glimmer, searching for something, anything.
"I...I can ride with Catra?," she finally asks. Then, putting a foot down, "I will ride with Catra!"
And then there is a tentacle monster. "GAH!" She points at it, then stops when nobody else looks surprised, lowering her hand. "...Right. Obsidian."
- Catra has posed:
Catra doesn't get a bouncer to beat up by herself, but that doesn't mean she isn't participating. It might also mean that one of the bounces is going to need stitches. ...A lot of stitches. Probably not a transfusion, but definitely stitches. On the upside, scars are cool, right?
"What's with this planet? Boys think they can be rude to girls like that? This planet sucks," she pronounces. "Lousy people, too much noise, and it smells awful." The feline wrinkles her nose. "But at least there's motorcycles, so that's redeeming I guess."
There is, in fact, no such motorcyle like Akira's, which makes Catra sad. Must have been a custom job. Also it's a cartoon so that probably doesn't help matters. There are, however, a number of perfectly cool motorcyles available.
Oh, there it is. A matte black Honda Rebel. Catra's pupils dilate as she regards the machine. "That one's mine," she half-whispers, pointing at the machine before she approaches it, and... Right, well, this Dark Energy stuff is pretty new to her, but... she follows the instructions that Hinoiri gave her, and after a couple of tries the motorcycle roars to life, followed by the cat revving the engine aggressively.
"Sorry Adora, this one only seats one. Maybe Glimmer can take you."
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara climbed onto her bike once she demonstrated how to use the dark energy. It was a simple enough spell, all you needed to do was be a big enough jerk that dark energy listened to you. Past that, not much to it. Of course... La Crima did hers with the familiar. A little different, but close enough. "Very good, La Crima. Keep this up and there's no telling what else you'll be able to do with that familiar. Who knows? Maybe next time you run into Adora here you can have it eat her," she said in a teasing/taunting tone.
She then glanced back to Adora and... "A swing and a miss. Ouch. You must have realllllly screwed it up pretty bad, huh?" she asked. "I mean, I've seen some cold shoulders, but this one takes the cake. Who knows, though? Maybe after tonight you'll finally see she has the right idea."
Sunbreaker's gaze then went to Catra and she sighed. "Tell me about it. Back home they were so much more respectful. The gender dynamics on this world are the worst. I'm definitely going to figure a way to add motorcycles there, though. Once I ascend to my proper throne."
As for Glimmer... aside from the tutorial on dark energy hot wiring, she didn't give her much of a look at all. Instead, taking off on her motorcorncycle! Popping a wheelie before taking off!
Internally: SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! Whew okay just play it cool.
... She hadn't meant to do the wheelie.
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima got onto her motorcycle and then 'oh'ed'. She Summoned up a motorcycle helmet via dark energy and put it on. Safety first.
Then she steadies herself and--- off she goes with her dark energy infused vampcycle and is following Sunbreaker. Who does a cool as hell wheelie. She doesn't press her luck.
She does go "Weeeeee." in perfect monotone, because she feel she should. Not that she has any specific need to. She isn't worried about crashing. She's made of dark energy.
She blinks a little at the words between the others. She looks towards Adora and goes.
"OOooooooohhhhh. Burn." she says in monotone.
- Double Trouble has posed:
"I guess that just leaves us," Glimmer says, and walks along until she finds a two-seater bike. And it's two seats because it has a side-car. It takes Glimmer everything she has to not burst out giggling with delight. She rushes up to it, grabs hold of the handle, and urges the dark energy to flow into it. She's been practicing. It's the only way she can do magic here, after all.
The motorcycle roars to life, and Glimmer hops on. Then she looks over at Adora and gestures to the side-car. "Come on, girl. Best Friend Squad has to stick together. We can't let them have all the fun."
She waits for Adora to get in--if she's going to--and then peels out chasing after the others.
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
Okay, Adora is actually starting to get pissed. When Catra refuses to let her ride with her she bites the inside of her cheek and glances at Glimmer. "I think this was a bad idea. I...should probably get home. This was a mistake." Catra doesn't care about bad girl Adora, so this whole attempt is seeming hopeless to her, and all it's gonna end up doing is making her feel a little sick inside. Even with Glimmer here. But this Glimmer, with her violence and belonging to Obsidian. Adora is feeling everything kind of pull away from her and it's obvious by the way she stands there.
But then Hinoiri is talking her crap, and instead of getting sad, she decides to get angry.
"YOU HAVE TO MEET ME HALFWAY, CATRA! You're pissed at me for joining the Princesses, but refuse to join them, right? NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I ASKED YOU AND TOLD YOU WE'D STILL BE TOGETHER IF YOU DID! And then here! I try and hang out with you and YOUR friends and you act like you don't want ANYTHING to do with me! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!" She starts to snarl something at Hinoiri, but then she's off with an awkward vroom. So instead, "And don't even get me started on THAT jerk!"
When La Crima offers her commment she doesn't hear it, because she's already zoomed off. She really doesn't have a read on that girl, yet.
And then there's Glimmer. "This isn't Best Friend Squad! We support eachother, not make eachother feel like garbage! What's WRONG with you, Glimmer?"
- Catra has posed:
"NO I DON'T!" Catra shouts back. Is she yelling at Adora? Or is she just yelling over the engine of the motorcyle she's revving up? "It's always the same! You have to do this! We have to do that! I don't have to do *anything*, and if you wanted to still be together all you had to do was *Stay in the Horde*."
Catra draws herself up, "All you had to do was decide that I was good enough to stay for, and not go running off abandoning me!" She gives the engine another loud rev, before grinning, flashing her teeth.
"Now we're having *fun* so either keep up or get left behind. ...Maybe you should find out what that feels like."
The cat looks at Glimmer; but she's not about to give that game away, let Adora figure it out on her own. She just puts her foot down, making the engine roar and the back tire squeal as it spins against the pavement, putting down a half-circle of rubber and letting off a lot of smoke as she spins the bike around to point the opposite direction and then takes off, rocketing down the road to catch up with Sunbreaker and La Crima.
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker wasn't feeling very pleased, either, to be honest. Sure, taunting Adora was fun... but... A part of her hoped it worked. A part of her hoped that little goody two shoes just... gave up on Catra. She wouldn't tell the cat that, but well...
What was so special about her, anyway? When Sunbreaker left her home, nobody ever came after her. So why should this cat have anyone come after her? And a small, tiny part of her was annoyed that Double Trouble was apparently connected to this girl so tightly, knowing her friend. Glimmer. What kind of stupid name was Glimmer, anyway? It was like. Sparkle. Or any other stupid name. So stupid. And to think Catra LOST to these girls.
But, for now, she kept her calm. She just drove. Slowing down a little to let Catra catch up... And it looked like Adora was yelling about something too. Maybe this meant she'd finally beat it. Nobody needed some goody good girl around, anyway.
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima doesn't have much to add right now, besides this is feeling like it should be fun.
So why isn't she having it yet?
- Double Trouble has posed:
Adora's words have Glimmer waiting to leave. She revs the engine on her bike and looks right at Adora. "Whatever, Adora. Are you in or are you out? Come on. Just let loose and have some fun for once," she says, sounding rather insistent.
She gives Adora enough time to get in if she's going to, and then, whether or not she does, Glimmer takes off after the others, her tires squealing on the pavement.
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
"We're not done talking, CATRA!"
The blonde slaps the bracelet on her wrist, and in a flow of golden energy it transforms into the long, wide Sword of Protection. She holds it aloft and intones, "For the Honor of Greyskull!"
The eruption of golden light and flowing rainbows is big enough for the girls vrooming away to see, too, as it shifts the shadows about them. There is a brilliant transformation sequence that leave She-Ra standing in Adora's place.
She glowers daggers at Glimmer before leveling the Sword at the zooming Catra, and then she adjusts to fire off a bolt of immense energy about thirty feet in front of her. The asphalt EXPLODES, sending chunks flying and blocking her path, but giving the quick reflexed cat plenty of time to stop or leap off the bike.
"You're the one running! You're ALWAYS the one running, NOT me! Now come over here and TALK TO ME!"
- Catra has posed:
Catra has to draw up short as the pavement in front of her suddenly stops being paved; she stands hard enough on the brakes that the back wheel of the bike pops up in the air. Not that it's anything Catra can't handle. She sets the rear wheel back down, and sighs, tilting her head to look back over her shoulder.
"Look, I *like* this bike, okay? Don't break it."
She revs the engine, once again leaving rubber marks and smoke as she spins the bike around. She pops the front wheel up in the air next as she guns the engine, only letting it back down once she's up alongside Adora. "Seriously, you reconnected with *Glimmer*," she nods towards the well disguised Double-Trouble, "And I'm *still* the only thing you can think about? You're being a lousy friend to her now, too."
The feline leans over sideways, making the bike stand on an angle as she jabs a finger into the much taller She-Ra's side. "*YOU* left *ME*, and you've been trying to make it my fault that you did that ever since. Well it's not my fault! And I didn't come out here tonight to fight, I came out to break some stuff and steal a motorcyle. So get with the program, get on that bike with Glimmer, and have *fun*."
The cat abuses her tires once again as she picks a different direction -- one with undamaged pavement -- and pulls away once more, zooming away from She-Ra. (Or at least trying to.)
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sunbreaker seemed pretty successful, all things considered...
Until suddenly parts of the road are being destroyed and... She whipped around, coming to see the destruction. Then...
"You do realize like... destroying the road like this?" Sunbreaker said, motioning to the ground. "You've literally just done more destruction and vandalism in the last ten seconds than all of us have done tonight?" Sunbreaker asked.
Was it intentional? Likely not. But oh, yes. Sunbreaker was DEFINITELY going to rub that in her face. Such a goody good. "You okay over there, Catra? Your ex giving you too much trouble?"
- Norie Okana has posed:
La Crima stops the bike. "Mister Squiggles back up!" she says. The bike backs up. This looks weird and magical when she does it.
She turns around and frowns. "H--hey!" she goes. "YEAH, JERK. YOU DESTROYED A ROAD BECAUSE WHY!? W..we we're just throwing bricks at abandoned buildings and trash cans and painting swear words on the side of it and you go destroying an actual road!"
She frowns and looks to Sunbreaker and frowns some more.
"This isn't 'fun' anymore." she pouts a little. Not that she was having fun before but now it's dumb.
"Why don't you two just kiss and make up!?"
La Crima does not read the situation right.
- Double Trouble has posed:
Well she tried to peel off, but then Adora had to go and destroy the road right out from under her. And she's driving a motorcycle with a sidecar. That can mean only one thing. The sudden force of the energy blast displacing pavement rushes under the side-car and sends it flying into the air, turning Glimmer's motorcycle onto it's side and sending her skidding across the rest of the pavement.
Glimmer isn't wearing any safety gear, and her shifting isn't a henshin so it doesn't come with an armored fuku. Double Trouble knows the real Glimmer would teleport, if she could. If she somehow had her magic. But all that's available now is Dark Energy. They have never done anything like this, but they dig as deep down into their character as they can and.
Just as the motorcycle impacts the pavement, the most astute observer would see Glimmer turn into a dark, shimmering puddle of inky dark energy. And then once the motorcycle skidded past it, she would rise back up out of the puddle and start walking back towards Adora.
"Adora, what the fuck was that about? You're supposed to be the well-adjusted one here," she says as she storms back toward She-Ra, dark energy crackling around her hands.
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
She-Ra is being jabbed in the chest and she stares down at Catra, searching for words. Before she can properly reply, however, Catra is zooming away again. She raises a hand towards her as she begins to drive away.
"Wait, I'm sorry..." It isn't loud enough for Catra to hear. She then looks past Catra to Sunbreaker and is considering saying something to her, but her heart hurts a bit too much and she feels too conflicted. She then hears La Crima and throws her arms in the air. "I WISH it was that easy!"
And then Glimmer crashes and Adora She-Ra cries out, staring in horror. She doesn't see the dark shift of DT, but then Glimmer is storming towards her with that Dark Energy where her Light should be. The Hero of Etheria raises her blade and points it at her.
"DID SOMEBODY SAY SWIFT WIND?"
Suddenly, with a woosh of wind and rainbow colored featheres, Swiftwind the alicorn lands amidst all the drama, tossing his head back so his beautiful, rainbow mane cascades down his neck. He raises a foreleg and poses majestically.
"SWIFTWIND??," Adora cries, overwhelmed.
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Sora. It was Sora. Sunbreaker couldn't hear what was said, what they were yelling... But...
But there was fluttering overhead and suddenly SORA was there.
Sunbreaker had been getting ready to start going...
Only for SORA to fly overhead and Sunbreaker to just wipe out, driving into the rubble with a shriek. Welp. Bike ruined. Oh well. Not hers.
She barely noticed, only getting a few scrapes. BUT SORA CAME FOR HER! SORA ACTUALLY CAME FOR HER!
For a few moments she was overwhelmed, a few tears forming in her eyes. Sora came for her. It wasn't just Catra who had someone who cared for them. SHE DID TOO! SHE--
Then Adora yelled Swiftwind.
And all of the hope. All of that overwriting love... all of that belief that... maybe... just maybe... her mentor had cared for her...
Was shattered in an instant. The tears dried up... and unseen by her, a second crack formed.
Sunbreaker was silent... Just staring up at her. She looked surprised. Startled. Like she was in shock. Just... staring.
"How?" she asked. The words so... oddly... loud. "HOW?!" she yelled.
Of course. Of course they had an alicorn. Of course there was a Sora for them. OF COURSE!
Of course Sora didn't come. Didn't care. Didn't... notice her...
The flames that had come so close to fully going out, for a few moments... sprang to life around her. Melting the bike under her. But she didn't care. All she saw right now... was Swiftwind.
- Catra has posed:
Catra is busy zooming off; but the bike she's on does in fact have mirrors, and she's half watching ahead, and half looking behind her to see what She-Ra is doing. Or if she's going to try to wreck her bike again. (Which is totally 'her' bike, she stole it afterall, and who's going to argue? Some biker dweeb?)
So Catra sees it all. Double Trouble (as Glimmer) crashes and... she doesn't really see too much past that, as far as that goes, because her attention is swiftly siezed by, that's right, Swiftwind. *Swiftwind*.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME." The tires squeal as she skids the bike sideways to a halt, and turns to regard the winged donkey that's just arrived. "Really? *Really.* I don't get Scorpia or Hordak or even so much as KYLE but Adora gets Swiftwind?" The feline feels her temperature rising steadily. "What's next," She continues, talking really only to herself, "Angela? Shadow Weaver? Mermista? Some twit from Brightmoon with no name who wears a helmet?"
The cat guns the engine, and the tires squeal once again as she turns and takes off so hard she pops the front wheel into the air for several seconds, before landing and taking off, almost clipping an oncoming car in the process.
- Norie Okana has posed:
Some things happen all at once.
First, She-ra says she wishes it was that easy to make up with Catra and she blinks a little. Is this context she's missing? She head tilts a little at this and says. "Huh?" she goes. She frowns a little. "If you wish it was that easy... can't it be? What's your hang up anyways!?" she mutters. "Ugh I need a name for... for people with all the feelings and that don't use them or express them. It's so damn unfair..."
Then she notices the rainbow flying unicorn. Because La Crima doesn't know the technical differences of fantasy horses. That's a unicorn with wings and her eyes glaze over. D..did that unicorn just talk?
Wait, her eyes are then immediately drawn to Sunbreaker and she blinks a little...
"...Sunbreaker-chan?" she asks, as Catra starts her escape in the background.
- Double Trouble has posed:
Glimmer just stares down that sword pointed right at her and lets the dark energy crackle around her like little black-violet arcs of electricity. She doesn't believe Adora will actually do it. She would not actually blast her friend. Not really.
And then Swiftwind shows up and he says the same thing he always says. "NOBODY SAID SWIFT WIND!!" She yells, the energy crackling around her more brightly, almost seeming to surge. "Nobody ever says Swift Wind! For Etheria's sake, could you just be less cringe?!"
She looks back toward Adora, a scowl now on her face. "Is that what Best Friend Squad is about? Trying to blast each other away? Were you really gonna do that, Adora?" She shakes her head. "Catra's better off without you."
Then she turns away and stomps off toward where Sunbreaker is seething. "Don't be jealous of her alicorn, Sunbreaker. It's just a horse that got zapped with magic. He's not nearly as cool as you are."
- Adora Rainbowfist has posed:
The brilliantly beautiful Alicorn glances towards Sunbreaker and flashes a horsey smile. "Good evening! You have a beautiful horn!" He glances at Catra, then, and his big feathered wings flap a bit. "Ah! She-Ra's feisty, but loving girlfriend! Hello, friend Catra! We may had our ups-and-downs, but I am glad all of that got cl-!"
She-Ra practically tackles Swiftwind to shut him up. "I'll explain later! We gotta go! Gods, I hope she couldn't hear that!"
It really is a good thing Swiftwind arrived for a number of reasons. One is that Double Trouble is right. She doesn't think she COULD have blasted Dark Energy Glimmer, if it came down to it. She begins to leads Swiftwind into fleeing when Glimmer's words really punch her in the stomach. She blinks away a tear, which literally glows on her cheeks.
"That's not true, Glimmer! And the real you...the GOOD you...would know that!"
And with that Swiftwind, looking quite confused (And yet majestic! Always majestic!) takes off into the sky. They circle a bit, eyeing the scene as they grow higher, soon vanshing over a nearby rooftop.
- Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara glanced back towards Catra and... apparently there was a whole herd of them. So... so many people for Catra to call on. And well, Sunbreaker was already in the... worst mood, now. Having seen an Alicorn. And they were here... for Catra's girl friend. Of course. Because they got to just have everything, didn't they?
Aaaand then Swiftwind told her how pretty her horn was. And she actually blushed. And squeaked. "U-uh. I... I guess... y-you too. I... I want... I..." And... and before she could ask anything else, She-ra just took ehr Alicorn... and left.
She stared for a moment... before reaching up, grabbing her head and just SCREAMING! With a pillar of fire erupting around her... she disappeared.
This had been a TERRIBLE idea.
- Double Trouble has posed:
Catra's long gone on her motorcycle. Adora's past the horizon on Swiftwind's back. Sunbreaker is gone. This girls' night out did not turn out fun at all. Glimmer sighs. She takes a deep breath and then opens her eyes. The dark energy crackles around her--La Crima's still here, so Double Trouble still has an audience--and she lets out a loud scream. Then the energy fades away.
"I did not come out here just to let those teenagers' relationship issues ruin my fun," she says, her words loud with her anger. She stomps back toward the biker bar that's at the start of the gouge Adora blasted in the road. "I'm gonna steal another bike, and then I'm gonna go have some fun. I can at least salvage my night."
She grabs the first bike she comes on--it's a fast little racer--and she shoves dark energy into it to turn it on. She hops on, revs the engine, and zooms off. She stops next to La Crima and gives her this reckless grin. "You still in? Let's go wreck this town."

La Crima watches Sunbreaker scream after stuttering some words, before screaming and teleporting off. "Oh, I guess...she isn't okay." she says. "I'm gonna. Go try to find her..." she says as she trails off, looking over to Catra. "No, sorry." she says as she jumps into the Dusk Zone into a dusk port, off to unseen parts, and away from... whatever just happened with the flying unicorn.
(Sunbreaker will probably get upset if she calls it a flying unicorn later.)
