Scene #911: Make Senpai Proud

Owner	Pose
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly was trying her hardest. The senpai was out for a while, with no idea when, or even if, he'd return. Well, of course he'd return. There was absolutely NO way he'd abandon them. But Firefly knew, without him around, she had to work extra hard to make sure everything went well. And, as people are want to do, she ended up trying to overdo it. While looking for what she would use to energy drain people, she found out that Oresky, the super awesome and rad and cool member of the Phantom Empire (so cool he had his own FANCLUB, which she was a part of), had so few members! And since they'd been losing a lot lately... well... She was now out in one of Tokyo's many courtyards, in full Firefly garb, with a bunch of kindabads. There was a table and they were all hanging out fliers. "Come one, come all, join the Oresky fanclub today, for only a small amount of yen!" Firefly said as she held up a big oresky stuffy. "Enter today and have a chance to win the Oresky stuffy! Made in his own image!" Unfortunately, it had been... less... than a stellar effect. Namely because, well... "Are... you... a character from whatever show this Oresky is from?" one of the passerbys asked. "Is it on a streaming platform?" On the upside, the doll itself was also absorbing the energy of people as they passed, the dark energy giving a slight alert to all magical girls around to let them know that there was danger afoot!
Rashmi Terios	Rashmi's Christmas shopping list has grown by startling degrees, this year. Not just parents to shop for, but a boyfriend, and a bunch of friends who at least deserve something to know just how much they mean to her. So much hunting to do! Which is why when she passes through the plaza, and sees Firefly and her Kindabads just... trying to collect members for the fan club, she cannot help but halt in place to contain her laughter. Firefly is just so adorable. Shopping gets stowed into her Device, and after a moment's looking around she finds a hedgerow to slip behind. One flash of golden magic and a quick spell later, she launches into the sky, orienting herself to slowly descend near the table, and fliers, and doll. "Hi, Firefly-chan!" She says cheerfully, her day brightened by the prospect of a battle with barely any stakes, with an opponent she actually likes. "Whaaaat're you doing?"
Naru Osaka	There's shopping to be had, but more importantly.. there's coffee to be had. Naru emerges out into the courtyard with a fresh steaming cup of coffee and just a couple shopping bags on her arm. She wanders closer to where Firefly and the kindabads are handing out fliers, snagging herself one before she looks up and notices Rashmi in the sky. She waves up to her with a smile and then looks back to what is /actually/ going on here. Ahh. Drain. Of course there is.
Anna Domenico	Anna Domenico, being new to the area and all, was out exploring and gathering a few necessitates for her new dorm life- and not handling Christmas shopping when something tickled her senses. She frowns and follows her sense, Passing through an alleyway to transform into her Hunters Gear, a frilly, pink tailcoat, blouse with a cravat and of courses, the silver shining gauntlet on her right hand, currently holding a coiled up whip. She'd approach the table, the source of the feeling, as she nodded to Rashmi a moment before she would blurt out. "What's going on here? Who is this... Oresky? Why does he look like a communist dictator? Why does he have his own plushie." she asked, in rapid succession, with a frown. "-and why do I feel so disturbed?"
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly glanced up when Rashmi appeared and... Oh! Her eyes lit up! "Oh! Rashmi-san! You know, same old same old. Riventon-senpai had to go on a trip so I'm in charge for a little bit," she said proudly. Well... okay, not really. Technically La Crima was in charge because she could go to the dusk zone and not like... die. But SHE was his lab assistant, his FIRST, so she had a duty to get energy! "So I'm helping him get some energy and Oresky needed more members for his fanclub!" Right on cue, a bunch of the kindabads hold up their fanclub IDs, showing themselves as Oresky fanclub members. "So we're running a fandrive! Did you know that Oresky is the coolest of ALL the Phantom Empire generals? He told me himself! Oh, and Hossiwa has been helping me work on my evil laugh. Oh ho ho ho ho! Isn't it great?" And then Naru was here! "Hi Naru-san!" she called out, waving to her... Wait. Had... had these two met? Civilian identities hooooo. And a new face! Ohhhhh. And she was in cosplay too! "Ohhhhh. I love your outfit!" she told Anna. "Very vampire hunter. And it's so pretty! Are you new? Hi! I'm Firefly, this is a fanclub drive slash energy drain, he does not look like a dictator! He looks like a general! He's so brave and confident, he makes his own medals and everything! And because we couldn't do a drive without a prize of some kind, silly! That'd be ridiculous!" "Oh, and the disturbed feeling is probably the dark energy if you're a sparkle skirt. Are you a sparkle skirt? You look like a sparkle skirt! Ohhhh! Am I your first villain? Ohhhhh, what's your justice speech? Is it cool? I'll bet its cool! I've never seen a sparkle skirt with a whip before!" << Woop woop woooo... Intimidation Critical fail >> Firefly's glaive said, its voice, despite its rather adorable wielder... sounding somewhere between a mix of Hannibal Lecter and Jigsaw. "What? I didn't make an intimidation check! Oh... wait, was she supposed to be? Sorry! Right, go on, I'll be intimidated! Gameface! Hup!" She then jumped onto the table. "Oh ho ho ho ho ho! Foolish sparkle skirts! Do you believe you can defeat me, the great Firefly? Never, my reign of terror will be unstoppable and I will acquire dozens of fanclub members before you know it!" She then held up a hand. "Err, hold on one second... nope... nope... ohhhh, I'll need to grab that later... nope... Here we go!" She then held up a small mirror that came out of her device. "Let the reflection in the mirror turn horrible!" And when she held it up... uhhhh... she accidentally... held it aimed at Naru. Oops.
Rashmi Terios	...Firefly is so freaking adorable. Rashmi takes the time to wave at Naru, beaming at seeing another friend in the vicinity. As the Dark Woobie expounds upon the dubious virtues of Oresky, Rashmi casts a quick telepathy spell to the whip-wielding mahou, and even her mental voice sounds like it's trying and failing to push past the pure adorableness. << That's Firefly, >> she says in the back of Anna's head. << She's really a little sweetheart but she's also really, really into the enemy's cause, so like... Take her seriously, but don't be mean about it. Also hi, I'm Rashmi, and I'll be your close air support for the day! >> She's just about to respond to Firefly's Injustice Speech, when the mirror is pointed and the incantation is spoken. And from her vantage point, she can see the sightline, can see who the mirror is pointed at. Naru. So begins the rush to fly down and knock the mirror away, before the magic can turn Naru into a real threat. Slow motion Noooooooooo!
Naru Osaka	That sense of 'oh damn, should I know them?' is challenge enough in mundane circles, but when most people have two utterly separate identities that there is literal magic helping to keep separate.. that game gets a lot harder. Naru considers Firefly for a while after she gets greeted by name, but there's still a blank look. She's not met /this/ version of Firefly, and so far.. context clues are not helping so much. Riventon.. okay.. that helps a little. "Hi!" Naru greets brightly, surrendering on coming up with a name. She takes a sip of coffee, listening to the Device helpfully tell Firefly that she's not doing well on her villain checks. And then Naru notices the mirror, and there's some distant memories stirred up at the mention of Oresky.. "Oh no.. no no no .." Naru starts taking a step back, holding her coffee in front of her like some sort of caffeine shield. She knows what's coming. "I /hate/ this one..." She laments with a resigned note to her voice. The mirrored coffin springs up around her before Naru can get away from it. She's still holding her coffee out in front of her, and her eyes are open wide and do not look pleased with her pinned and paralysed and captured circumstances. Oh yes.. and even more Drain. Because of /course/ there is.
Anna Domenico	Anna Domenico remembers speaking to Veronica about the 'rough streets' of the area. Is..is this what she actually meant? Is this a common occurrence? She frowned. "I look like a vampire hunter. Because I am one." she says flatly. She can hear a voice in her head. She looks around and looks at Rashmi and listens to her explanation. < Oh. It's like that. Is it? Fine. I won't attack her then but I need an explanation after this. > she says to Rashmi. She watches as the mirrors held up and she 'ehs!?' and suddenly throws her whip forward, trying to smack it out of her hand with a crack through the air- she won't be quick enough though! "What do you think you're doing!?"
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly had only a second to realize where the mirror was pointed. Then cringed when, true enough, Naru was grabbed. Oh dear. The mirror itself disintegrated right before the whip could strike it and Firefly yanked her hand back. "Oops... Sorry Naru-san! I swear I wasn't actually aiming at you!" The area around them turned to a wasteland, likened to one after a great battle and artillery bombardment. A great terribad appeared! And this... terribad... had a great yellow scarf, a coffee in hand... and bags under its eyes, barely conceiled by the kamen glasses. "Terri.... bad..." it said with an exhausted sigh. "Oh ho ho ho ho! None can stop me! Go, my terribad, make this drive a success!" The terribad nodded before moving towards the girls and---! Kneeling down by them and began making a sign, using finger paints to draw 'Join Oresky's Fanclub today!' across it. "... Oh. Not... not exactly what I meant, but A for effort and originality!" Firefly said, giving it a thumbs up. "... Terri...bad."
Rashmi Terios	"...Maybe apologize after she's out of the horrible mirror coffin?" Rashmi says weakly, giving Firefly a look that manages to bypass telepathy completely and say 'You need to work on your aim.' Loosing a gusty sigh, she propels up and back, away from the Terribad, and holds out one hand. The huge, armored book floating above her shoulder dips down to hover above her palm, open flat and pages ruffling. << I'm gonna take this fight away from the city city, so no one else gets caught up. >> << BONG! >> << TIME-SPACE BARRIER, >> comes a voice from the book itself, the sound of a tweedy old literature professor warped by AI distortion. A bubble of staticky magic forms above the pages and expands rapidly, taking some of the saturation out of the wasteland created by the Terribad's presence... but more importantly pulling the combat out of everyday reality entirely. << Firefly-chan tries her very best, >> she says to Anna, << but she still needs a lot more practice as a villain. Knocking away the coffee will either be its weakness or its berserk button, I don't know which but I know Naru-chan. >> "Not gonna join the fan club, Firefly!" she calls out from the air. "I know you think he's cool, and that's sweet, but like... c'mon."
Anna Domenico	Oh, that's a big monster. Anna Domenico draws back a little as she watches all the civilians and otherwise non-magical people melt away into a barrier. She gets the idea quick enough. "Huh." she goes. << That's a neat trick. are you able to teach me that? >> she says into the telepathy. Anna Domenico cracks her whip. "Look." she says. "You might be trying your best, but you're putting all that energy into the wrong side, clearly. Can you call this thing away?" she asks as it starts finger painting. "Otherwise." she says. "I'm destroying it." she says more seriously as she cracks her whip. "So let me hear your choice!" she yells valiantly as she gets ready to face down the monster before her.
Adrien Agreste	Running a bit late, Adrien Agreste had needed to take a side route to avoid some fans after leaving his photo shoot earlier in the day. It was one of those days that things just didn't seem to be going well for him. He had PLANS and one was to meet up with Naru to do some shopping, and potentially go grab some ramen later. Though he'd kept her up to date with texts of his impending arrival it had gotten a bit quiet. Enough so that he speeds up with worry. Just in time for a Devicers' Time Space Barrier to go up. He's on the inside of it, just come into view of the grouping and the terribad and the distinct LACK of Naru around. A quick swivel on his heel has him duck behind one of those bus stop billboards that seem to be about everywhere these days advertising something-or-another. It worked to block the line of view from him at least. "Plagg, Claws Out!" His henshin was quick thankfully. A few seconds later Cat Noir leaps out from behind his hiding spot to land ontop of a nearby lamp post. Those were so handy. "Well this is Adora-horrible. Okay that pun fell flat, but anyway! Need a hand, or a claw, ladies?"
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly nodded. "Right. Okay, I'll do it after this. And come oooooon. The fee isn't that big. And it goes directly to marketing Oresky's name!" Pause. "Which... I guess isn't a good selling point if you don't think he's pretty awesome, but it's still cool! He even signed my card!" Firefly said before showing HER fanclub ID. He had, in fact, signed it. ... But he was Oresky and would likely sign ANYTHING if it held still long enough. "And I can't like... just destroy it myself. That'd be cheating! And ummmm... if someone doesn't... I think a lot of people will get mad. I know one of our people kidnapped Naru-san once but she's actually pretty nice and I don't want to go that far. Riventon-senpai would probably be mad at me if I did that." And suddenly... there was... "Oh, hey! I know you! You're..." Pause. Blink blink. "Film Noir!" ... Half right. "Terribad, attack!" The youma, then... lifted its great sign! And... paused to take a sip of its coffee. Before, with the other hand, taking a swing with the sign at Anna!
Naru Osaka	It is very hard to text someone back when one is paralysed and being drained within a mirrored coffin. Naru is awake, at least, although that's honestly a mixed blessing at this point. Her coffee is held perfecly still, but she can still move her eyes as she tries to sort out what's going on out there. Everything looks like a kaleidoscope through the faceted glass and mirrors, and so hard to see.
Rashmi Terios	<< I would honestly love to, but it's powered by weird alien space math and needs a Device to run the math and use the energy, so... prooooobably not, sorry. >> Rashmi replies to Anna... At which point a new challenger appears! And gets linked into the telepathic comms net with a << ping! >> << There's never any such thing as too much help, good to meet you! >> Rashmi directs to the -- admittedly stunningly handsome -- mystery cat-boy. << So I'm not super sure, but I think we need to destroy the big monster to free Naru-chan. And she doesn't look happy in there, so let's try not to make it take any longer than we need to? >> "It's not the fee, Firefly-chan, it's that I do not support what he stands for! But cool that you got an autograph! So I understand you can't make it easy, and anyway that would be breaking our promise right?" As the Terribad goes on the attack, Rashmi summons a half-dozen orbs of golden light around herself, and as she strafes to one side they streak out and around. Half seem to be targeted at the Terribad as a probing attack, the other half toward Firefly... largely for the same reason, as well as an invitation. Wanna fite?
Anna Domenico	Curse Hunter Anna Domenico stares at Firefly. "You.. Wha? Cheating. That's not cheating. That's doing ''the right thing'' and if this ''Oresky'' fellow is about this, I don't think I wanna be a part of his stupid fan club." she says. The Terribad swings for her and she jumps up into the air and does a flip backwards, frowning as she evades the sleepy, Terribad attack. The coffee was mentioned earlier as a point, so Anna draws her hand back, a silver throwing dagger materializing in her hand as she chucks it at the hand holding the coffee mug of the Terribad. << That's too bad. >> she says. << Help is always appreciated. >> she says.
Adrien Agreste	Ping? That was new. Cat Noir tips his head to the side with one hand lifting up to smack the palm of his hand against his ear a time or two lightly as if he were knocking something loose, or at least trying to get used to it. << That's an odd sensation. Hello! Chat Noir at your service! And yes I'm all for getting Naru free as quick as possible. Is this one of those situations where you have to destroy a power item? Because... Coffee cup is... Well. I think we all know Naru well enough to know that's likely. >> Of course he also knew Naru really, really, REALLY did not like this mirror thing he was seeing now. That was worrisome. Cat Noir flips off the lamp post to land in a crouch from which he bounces back to his feet giving a quick salute. "Chat Noir actually, but I appreciate the recognition! Speaking of fanclubs though, why don't you have your own? You're cute as a button! So, sorry for this, but I kind of need Naru out of there, we had a thing to do." With that said he reaches back to withdraw a staff that snaps out extending in size. It's stamped against the ground to use as a polevault as he launches himself in an aerial double-kick to the terribad's face.
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly gave a small nod. "Ohhhh. Wow. Wow. That's just so mean! I mean, sure, Oresky might be trying to fight and imprison all of you, but he's still a person, kind of, and has feelings! He just wants to be a shining star is all, don't we all have the right to dream big?" ... What in the world was she going on about? The terribad, meanwhile, was sent skidding back a few feet by the golden orbs, the sign crumbling from the attack! Only for, a moment later, its coffee mug was knocked from its grasp. In the arms of an angel... Its coffee splatters to the ground as it reaches a hand, helplessly, towards it... hen gets kicked in the face. It topples backwards, crashing to the ground. Lost coffee. Kicks to the face... This was not a good day for it. "Terri...BAAAAAAD!" the terribad yelled before rising up and surging at them. It grabbed its coffee cup before holding it up. From on high, coffee filled it. "TERRIBAAAAAAD!" It yelled, before swiping with it. The coffee flowed out in a very hot tidal wave towards the group, unleashing its dark energy fury upon them! Meanwhile, Rashmi's challenge was accepted! While Firefly had been knocked back by the attacks, she had leaped forward and was now descending on the page mage with her energy glaive out and ready for action, starting off with a downwards strike... "Wait, so Chat? Or Cat? Like, Chat as in lets have a chat? Or is that like... a pun thing? And of course I don't have a fanclub! I'm just an intern!"
Rashmi Terios	"It's the imprisoning part I can't support, Firefly," Rashmi says gently... Then the coffee cup is knocked to the ground. Time to roll the dice and see if it wor-- << ...Ah. Berserk button. ... ...Oops. >> But now Firefly is charging her, and now Rashmi has two jobs; fite the villain, and aid her allies. First, defend against the glaive coming for her head. << SOLAR SHIELD >> A disk of hardened, golden light materializes between her and the oncoming weapon, throwing sparks as energy meets energy and holds for just long enough... << RED SHIFT >> The shield seems to glitch and grow jittery for a moment, then explodes in Firefly's face, protective magic turned to a purely kinetic shockwave meant to drive the villain back, and give her time to aid her friends. << BONG! >> << BETA ACCEL -- BOOST UP >> At each of her shoulders, a flickering, yellow wisp resembling foxfire coalesces, then streaks downwards. One hits Anna, the other Chat Noir, but not with a feeling of impact; it's more like a supporting hand on the shoulder, carrying with it the feeling of running through a field in summertime, step and spirit light as can be. The feeling, and the dramatic speed boost that comes with it, will only last for a moment... but a moment is all one probably needs to get away from the wave of Dark Roast headed their way.
Anna Domenico	Anna Domenico gets a speed boost, and runs towards the tidal wave and uses the speed boost to jump over it as she 'woahs'. << Wow! >> goes Anna in her head. She frowns though after as she gives Firely such a ''glare'' and draws her hand back, whip now aiming for the head of the giant creature. "I think she thinks this is a game of some kind." she says angrily. She spins her whip and tries to then grab the thing's leg on her landing with the whip and give a large tug, trying to tug it down. "What is this thing anyways!?" she asks, winded.
Adrien Agreste	"It's ... It's Cat but it's an accent because I'm not from Japan..." See, Naru, THIS is why he doesn't call himself Chat Noir here! He bounces back from the kick with an acrobatic flip. Really, he was good at those, if his constant showing off wasn't any indication. Stepping further away he spins his staff by his side preparing to go in again if necessary. He was rather hoping the fallen coffee cup would work. "I like coffee but this is a bit much!" His staff elongates sending him into the air over the flood of boiling liquid. Which is great, except he starts to tip over unable to balance going that high that fast. He's over most of it though, and his forward tilt is sending him back toward the coffee-weilding terribad. << I sometimes think they go after little kids because they're easy to trick. I mean, look at us! Would a reasonable adult do what we're doing? >> He finally tips over completely as gravity takes hold. The staff shortens suddenly so it's not an obstacle as he comes down. Instead he lifts a hand overhead calling out, "CATACLYSM!" A sphere of pure destructive energy coalesces at the tips of his claws which swipe down at the coffee cup. << REALLY hope this works! >>
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly hit the shield! Ohhhhh. Rashmi had gotten better, she-- BOOM! Firefly let out a squeak, flying up, up and spinning around, her magic catching her so she kind of hovered for a moment in a dizzy swirl. "That... that was... uncomfortable," she said, shaking her head and trying to clear it. "Right, that--" Unfortunately for her, the youma of hers was then tripped, its leg yanked out from underneath it, it fell to one knee.... Just in time for the cup to be CATACLYSMED! It was destroyed in a flash of magical light! Leaving the youma to let out a loud, heart wrenching 'Terriiiiiiiiii....' Its coffee destroyed... it crumbled to its other knees, hands to the ground. Heart broken. Soul shattered. Will to fight... gone... Firefly just stared, cringing. "Wow. Ummm... Riventon-senpai is going to want to know about that one. If he doesn't already... Oh, and welcome to Japan, then! Nice to meet you! Hup!" Then she just dropped on/at Rashmi, the glaive spinning wildly, left, right, flurry, step. OKAY SINCE WHEN COULD FIREFLY ACTUALLY FIGHT?!
Naru Osaka	Naru can sort of keep track of what's going on out there, even though she's flagging a little with the drain going on in that mirrored coffin. She watches Chat Noir lash out at a coffee.. which seems oh so very wrong in the scheme of things. She can only really pay attention to what passes into her limited field of view. Oooh, a glaive goes by and Naru can't quite see what was up with THAT. Oh that she could turn her head and follow the fight at least.
Rashmi Terios	<< ...Almost beaten, >> Rashmi answers Anna. << What it is, is almost beaten. Amazing work, Chat NoiOH GOD BACKINNASEC. >> There is not the sound of a cellphone hanging up on a conference call, but there is a similar feeling. Another Solar Shield is summoned, but this one just frantically swung between herself and the oncoming strikes, Rashmi's eyes wide as dinner plates as the most adorable villain to exist suddenly fights like Fate when anyone but Nanoha is present. THIS IS, as the school message boards might say, A HECKING CONCERN. After the fifth strike, the Shield shatters, and the sixth draws a line of burning pain across Rashmi's midsection, sending her spinning away in kind. No blood, thankfully, but enough ouch that there may as well be. << BONG! >> << SOLAR SWORD >> With this invocation, a trio of golden lights appear around the wounded Rashmi, elongating into ornate, shimmering golden longswords. The swords twist, all pointing outward, then launch. Clearly the attacks have a great deal of homing ability vested in them, and while they're not tuned to do much real damage, the point of this spell isn't to hurt. The Solar Blade is a defense-breaker spell. Shields, Barrier Jackets, whatever exotic nonsense Dark Energy might use to tank a hit... If it's defensive, this spell is for poking great big holes in it.
Anna Domenico	Curse Hunter Anna can sense the darkness in this thing, so she knows it's dangerous. It's weakened however, thanks to Cat Noir destroying it's coffee cup, as she draws her gauntlet up and raising it high, opening it's palm, and she yells. "FACE THE POWER OF A TRUE VAMPIRE HUNTER!" she calls out, a bright light emanating from the gauntlet as purifying power washes out from it, covering the entire area in a bright, white light for a few seconds, before it shines down and hopefully purifies the Terribad with it, the power dying down as she quickly lowers hand hand and 'gahs' silently to herself, falling to one knee as she gets extremely, extremely dizzy. "Buh..." "O--overdid it." she insists, momentarily to herself.
Adrien Agreste	Cataclysm always worked. Whether or not it was the right target though, that was the question. Should he have aimed at the Terribad itself? He wasn't really fond of killing anything that seemed even remotely alive, and for all he knew, it was similar to when someone was Akumatized. So the coffee cup seemed the best course of action with his power set. Cat Noir bounds back after the energy has been dispelled to destroy the cup which thankfully takes him out of the line of Anna's purifying attack. "Very nice--!" He calls out only to glance over in her direction with sudden worry. "You all right?" Even as he asks his head snaps around to try and see if that may have freed Naru. Because if she's up high, or otherwise in danger, he's going to leap in there to catch her. It's. It's a thing.
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly didn't shield herself, though. Her glaive flashed out, the energy blade striking the blade on her left, tearing it to parts while she spun to avoid the other two. As they came about, the glaive struck out, striking the second before she spun the glaive. The blunt of the glaive struck out, hitting Rashmi's ankle to drive it out of her while the blade hit the third sword. Since... when could Firefly do that? She then spun, moving in, the glaive blade held high... Well, at least it was an energy blade, so it couldn't KILL her. It'd just... hurt. A lot. There was a blinding light and the youma was destroyed! Letting out a cry of 'R-Relaxing!' The mirror shattered, freeing Naru... Just in time for Cat Noir to leap through the air and catch her before she could fall far. The glaive came down and... stopped. A few centimeters from Rashmi's nose. Firefly let out an 'awwwww'. "You distracted me! Shoot. Oh well," Rashmi said before spinning the glaive and pulling it back. "Welp! I lose! I'm thinking... Okonomiyaki, does that sound good? I'm really craving fish. Also..." She spun around and gave them a wave. "Nice to meet you Vampire-Hunter-chan! That was a really cool finisher! But you should be careful, you don't want to hurt yourself! Oh, Naru-san! Sorry! I wasn't aiming for you! Riventon-senpai says you get turned too often so we should give you a break! It's like you're a magnet or something!" Meanwhile, the kindabads were packing it up. The job was done. The stuffy poofed into dark energy and Firefly just smiled at Rashmi expectently.
Naru Osaka	Flashing blades and movement.. and then Naru is falling. Not at all far as she half falls, half stumbles into Chat Noir catching her. The coffee, as expected, doesn't make it through that particular experience, getting dropped in favour of Naru grabbing onto the Kitty such that she doesn't finish that fall, her face getting buried into his shoulder. "I hate those ones SO MUCH." She mumbles softly. At Firefly's apology, she doesn't even lift her head, she just gives the other girl a thumbs up from behind Chat Noir's back. Yep. Magnet. 100%
Rashmi Terios	This is bad. This is bad. The telltale flash of a big purifying attack is good, at least, but it doesn't save Rashmi in the moment. She's barely beginning to respond to the first blade being deflected, when the second and third are swatted away with almost careless ease, and Firefly has her leg swatted out from under her. While it wouldn't make her fall, it does disorient Rashmi, and leave her absolutely out of step to keep the glaive from streaking down right at her fa-- "...Eep?" The weapon's energy blade is uncomfortably close to her nose, humming and spitting, and for a moment all she can do is stare at it. "Wait... I win?" When Firefly pulls back, she caaaarefully reorients herself, and looks down at the battlefield proper, to see a marked lack of desolation, and a freed Naru clinging to Chat Noir. "O-oh! Right! Okay! Um... sure okonomiyaki sounds great, is Naru-chan gonna be okay?"
Adrien Agreste	Cat Noir wraps his arms around Naru to hold her tight as he makes a rather graceful landing. Seems cats do land on their feet. Most of the time. He glances down at her with a sad smile at the way she just buries her face into his shoulder with that mumble. "I know. I've got you. Take your time," he offers consolingly with only a glance over his shoulder back toward Rashmi, Anna and Firefly. The fact that the fight had ended mostly without any issue is a good thing, though he has to raise an eyebrow a bit at Firefly and her suggestion of food. Without really thinking about it he starts to rub Naru's back lightly to try and soothe her. A little chime beeps out drawing his attention back to Naru with a grimace. "Ah. Are you going to be okay, Naru?" His gaze is fixed on the little blinking light on his ring, and he nervously looks back to the others with a forced cheesey grin. "Well she's going to need another coffee to replace that one for sure," he jokes. More seriously he drops his voice, murmering to Naru again, "ARE you going to be all right? If you're not..." He hesitates with a little wavering to his voice. "I can stay. If you need me to." That would have repurcussions but. It was Naru.
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly nodded. "I think she is. Though... I think she dropped her coffee. hmmm. I wonder if that'd count as my fault... ehhhh... probably enough. Naru-san, I can't right now but I'll get you a gift card from the coffee place later, okay? Sorry about your drink!" However, when she looked to see them... she saw... Naru being held by a magical boy. And her cheeks went red. She quickly grabbed Rashmi's arm and nudged her along. "We should go," she whispered to Rashmi. "I think I just did a very good thing for Naru-san." She didn't realize just how much Naru hated those mirrors and, fortunately for her, just thought she was playing it up a bit because cute boy. She was a shipper at heart, after all. Just ask her Senpai and who she shipped him with. "Also, did you see how much better I was with the glaive? Senpai got me an energy glaive so now I won't have to worry about accidentally maiming any of you. It's so cool." ... Rashmi might want to let the others know she isn't being actually kidnapped.
Naru Osaka	There's a slow breath from Naru before she answers, just settled there in Chat Noir's arms for a moment as she gets her wits about her again. Then she pushes herself up to standing, a little wobbly around the edges, but she's upright and offering a faint smile. "You have to get going, Cheeky Kitty. I'm fine." It's not the most robust of definitions of fine, but she's at least standing under her own power and she looks over to Rashmi. "Mostly just drained, I'll be fine." Which is not quite what she said to Chat Noir, but it's close enough. "It's okay, Firefly.." Naru replies to the offer of a replacement coffee. "I can get a fresh coffee. Thank you for the offer though."
Rashmi Terios	Naru's wobbliness puts the concern back on Rashmi's face, and as Firefly starts nudging her along, Rashmi lifts a finger. "Gimme one sec, I wanna make sure she'll be okay? Then lunch." With a friendly smile, Rashmi swoops down to the pair, giving Chat Noir a bit of a questioning look, before taking a package of mushroom-flavored chips and a sports drink out of Nicomachea's gem. "I'll keep the Barrier up for about ten minutes, Naru-chan... here. Have a snack and sit for a bit, okay? But we're gonna go, I made a deal with Firefly that winner buys lunch. So if you two want to be alone, well..." Trailing off, she looks up at the staticky Barrier boundary, shrugs, and flies back up to Firefly's side. << Take care of her! >> she chirps into Chat Noir's head, then cuts the comms off for good. "So," she says to Firefly, "that was some amazing fighting, I'm gonna have to work hard to get on your level, and I mean that sincerely."
Adrien Agreste	<< It's not like that--! >> But the comms are already gone no doubt. Maybe that little protest from the red-faced Cat Noir didn't get heard. Either way his attention focuses back on Naru as she steps away and he loosens his grip so she can. Still his grasp stays near for a few moments to ensure she doesn't stumble again. "Right. Give me like ten..." Ah, but Rashmi says the barrier will stay up that long. "Fifteen minutes." It's all uttered quietly as he finally steps to the side, sidestepping AWAY from the Naru with hands clasping behind his back oh-so-innocently. "Ah, well, love to stay and chat but you know how it is!" He singsongs as if this were something he'd repeated numerous times. "Cat you later!" There. THAT was his pun, Firefly! And he's leaping off to... well, to hide somewhere before his henshin wears off in another two clicks of the time left on his ring. Chrono would never let them live this one down if he heard about it.
Hotaru Tomoe	Firefly was very, very much reveling in the praise. A big grin on her face. "Thankies! And yeah, I think it's mostly the glaive though. I've never used one before, it just kind of feels... right, when I use it. You know? But senpai says it is me, so maybe I'm just a natural." ... Nobody was a 'natural' like that with any weapon. Rashmi would at least likely know something was up. On the upside, she wasn't willing to fight like that until she got the non-murdery glaive, so maybe this was a positive sign somehow? Either way, she happily flew off with her friend/rival/enemy. Chrono, definitely, would NEVER say a word. But the feelings he'd radiate would be thunderous.
Naru Osaka	"Ahh.. bless you, Rashmi." Naru accepts the chips and the drink from the girl. "I probably have a protein bar in my bag somewhere, but I'm not sure I have a drink. This will help immensely." Because Naru is very well familiar with how to recover from drain. It's almost like she's had some practice. "Thank you." She comments, on the mention of the barrier staying up a little while longer to let her chill a moment or two. Or ten. Naru watches Chat Noir pun his way away and she smirks a little, working her way to settle on a bench with the chips and the drink.
