Endlessblaze

Leo stands up and stretches. "Well Ive got things to do. So now that all that's been resolved. Bye." Leo promptly bails. Man was he glad that was over. Now it was time to see where that thing went.... Once he returns to his temporary work area, he looks around for clues. He dosent see much, but something feels off. Snow's scanner turns out to be very helpful. Heading over to the nearest stronger reaction point Leo continues his investigation. "Huh. Thats odd. I wonder how....Oh. Crap." Fearing the effects this might have on his units, other then snow of course she was mostly eating his mana due to proximity, he immediately checked on frostbrute Surprisingly, he is not acting outside normal parameters….stoneheart however seems extremely drawn to the area. "StoneHeart, Status update." "Must reach. Must find. Longing. Sadness. Must find. Hatred. Despair. Must return." "Stone heart, listen to me. I need you to elaborate. Find what? Reach what? Return where?" [45] Leo figures Stone Heart's connect might help here, he isn't sure exactly how. "Her. Her. Her." "Why do you need her? Does she have a name? What can you tell me about her?" Stone Heart seems to ignore Leo's first and third questions, choosing instead to babble about despair and sadness. It does however give him a name. "Flora" Ok so was this Flora the source of that babble when he scanned the seed prior? That gave him a bad feeling. This was yet another strong point in favor of something being inside that thing, and not being in the most sound condition. Stoneheart was getting influenced by her energy, obvious why considering how he was made, but just asking for information alone was not going to be sufficient. "Stoneheart. Show me your core. I need to access your data" Stone Heart obeys and well, Leo finds about what he was expecting. This weird ambience is doing a major mindfuck on Stone Heart's programing. "Growing" the pathways that allow for feeling emotion and such and by extension overwriting a lot of the pathways that govern logic and restraint. Leo creates a sandbox in his computer, and starts running programs for reading out and processing data. Plugging right into Stoneheart's processes. With snow helping to process and filter the data (Though never accessing Stoneheart's core directly) he soon has his screens covered in Charts, Text strings, and lines of vague esoteric meanings far to complicated to spend time explaining in the middle of a situation. If Stoneheart couldn't or wouldn't talk, he would just extract the data right from his core. Leo tries looking for documentation, and comments. Even asking Stoneheart questions, but its less fruitful then he would hope No legible comments and certainly no documentation, whoever wrote this was really bad at coding. StoneHeart reads "Kiss" as a corrupt function due to it being incomplete, and simply states that "Return" is to return. This was not good... Well The having new programs to study along with whatever strange runic language this was could be good. But until the active threat was dealt with, it was a problem. At the moment stone heart was still his, still obeying orders. But who knew how long that would last. He was starting to get an idea of what Return did, but he did not want these functions tried on this Flora's terms. He needed to stop, or slow and counter Stoneheart's intake of the new ambiance. "Stoneheart. I want you to gently wrap around my body. Its alright if you keep drawing a bit from the ambiance, but your being addled by it. I promise ill go help and check things out, but until then I want to counter the changes by feeding you my mana" Stoneheart obeys and it seems to work, much like how Leo rarely has to worry about snow's intake, the proximity results in Stoneheart mostly feeing on Leo's mana and will. Leo then calls down a messenger bird, and orders it to send a message out to all the party members and important pepole 'Alright guys, something almost certainly dangerous is going on. Anyone interested in what is most likely going to be a fight, who I can also trust not to smash important objects of study, meet me at the smith's shop. Ill explain there' Hopefuly Kusuke and Satomi wouldn't give him trouble about the gem. At this point it was clear something was going on with it, and he was going to find out what it was. For now, message sent, he made his way back to his worktable outside the Smith's shop.

Leo thinks for a moment and nods "I suppose that will work"

"Considering what I have seen, no. Satomi, though I can certainly understand her concerns considering what little I have gathered of her homeland strikes me as far to paranoid and aggressive when dealing with such matters. Nor do I know the other group members well enough to agree to something like that." "That said, If I send out an alert that I'm about to start something, and most of the party starts screaming, I can halt or delay it until we figure something out."

"If its the obvious dark magic or aggressive spreading trasmutive effects your worried about, then yeah I can message you guys before I start and wait a few minuets to hear concerns and suggestions."

Leo crosses his arms "Not workable. Its far to much trouble to run basicly everything by someone before starting. Especially since Im the only one here who is going to have the understanding of the magic I use needed to properly asses danger. It would be more practical for me to simply inform party members in the area. If the messenger birds aren't sufficient, I could upgrade them to transmit a signal over the village. Build a network of birds to relay data to devices, and use that to notify pepole when Im starting something."

"Oh come on, at least...oh well. Fight time!~" Punch runs in to join the battle

Leo considers this a moment before responding. "I can't just stop everything every time I want to make something to run things by someone. But I won't stop anyone from coming by to see what Im working on as long as they don't do anything stupid. If you ever want a status report, just ask. Even if you can't find time to stop by I made the messenger birds for a reason." "Also, Im fine with not hording unique things, within reason. Im not just going to hand over anything I directly obtain myself, but as long as the groups who find stuff reasonably discuss and distribute loot we shouldn't have much problem." "Its also not clear how long Ill be here, or with your group, since I had my own group with me prior to me landing here, I should probably actualy leave soon to go pick the others up. For the same reason, unless we are going to establish a proper base here and return often, building a workshop might be a bit much, and I would need proximity to the smith's place." Leo pauses as he considers something...leaning forward and rubbing his chin a little. "Unlesssss…..There might be a Non-zero chance we are supposed to work together and merge groups, all things considered. In which case, the establishment of a permanent group base would make sense, and provide an excellent place to work. This world would actualy be a REALLY good candidate for such a thing, considering how much mana is in the air." "We do not want to just make a lab blow though, that could easily make things worse. Spreading harmful stuff into the air, feeding things that eat heat, scattering dangerous substances around the area. Dropping it into the void might work, but Im not sure if we could easily make a void hole that large in this world easily. I TRIED to make an opening earlier and failed, though if I built equipment to do it, I might be able to manage it with a reasonable amount of safety."

"Well, The lab tech golems should be able to keep a lid on any threats that arise during attunement testing and simple projects. Major projects involving the more obvious stuff we can keep working on outside of the village, unless we wind up needing the forge." "If your worried about a zombie apocaplse specifically, I'm also not much of a necromancer. Zombie viruses and Reanimative death curses are beyond me. Though I suppose if I did a bit of searching and testing, there is a Non zero chance I could synthesize some sort zombie posion with an attunement chain. Not really my style though." He tilts his head, Idily pouring mana into his cup of rotted wine, and fiddling with it. "Huh. If I did want to do something like that this stuff might be a good start...Liquid substance, moderate death mana, no other effects....Maybe If I hybridize it with shiverthorn mana and....Ohhhh." Leo had been about to mention the possibility of feeding the mana, mixed with something else and attuned back through a silicate, and applying it back to the wine to transmute it. Instead, something entirely diffrent popped into his mind. "Hey Tania, how do corrupt monsters react to posion? I think I might be able to create a toxin which only effects corrupt entities."

Leo for his part tilts his head at the glass, and mutters a few words. Then some more. Letting his magic reach out and lace through the glass and its liquid. Getting a closer look at it with Analyze He leans back in his chair for a few moments crossing his arms. Processing the information. …………………. ………………… ………………… Ok so now things made a bit more sense... It also would explain why kusuke seemed to be able to ignore paradoxes. His time powers were running on some kind of more flexible time rules. Or something. It still seemed a little crazy, but this was actual tangible evidence. After a few moments he finaly responds. "Hmmmm, I think its more like Both of us were wrong, while also being right. Neither of us really believed the other, but we were both working under our own physical and magical laws." "As for what happens when I leave, I think it will be fine. If the multiverse is actively helping us, then I don't think its going to stop when we leave. That would be counter productive and defeat the point of calling us in the first place. If this were the case, then your time travel abilities could be just as dangerous, Createing paradoxes and contradictions in worlds that dont have laws to deal with that."

"Alright so. Whenever you have something that wants to spread on a large scale, this can be a corruptive influence, a sickness, or even some new technology. It doesn't really matter what it is, it just has to be a large scale change. "Whenever you have a large scale spread of something, the world wants to push back on that change." "All ensouled life propagates energy and will into the world by nature. When a change on this scale begins to take root and spread, the souls outside and against that change push back on the change. The Life Return Pressure, formed from the will and energy of life around the change. Likewise, The spreading force also has pressure, The Life Variance Pressure, Composed of the forces backing the change, and the energy in the change." "As the change spreads further, the amount of opposition it meets continues to rise, and the change will eventually no longer have enough energy and LV to continue to progress. The change will begin to weaken, becoming less dangerous and will begin to distribute its power across itself as it tries to spread as far as It can. Eventually, The LR and LV reach equilibrium and the system stabilizes again. Things migrating in and out, solid borders forming between areas." "The growth of the LR is more or less a quadratic increase per mile consumed and they usually recede a little once things start to stabilize. The time it takes can vary. I've seen forest turn into winter wonderland playgrounds in a week, but it can take months or years, or even centuries for something to even out." "Luckily, you can't really get infinite LV, so you can't spread something forever. That's what allows life to exist. Here." Leo stands up, and goes up to the counter. "Booze please, something fresh and fruity." He then returns, takes a little sip, and then, pulls out a little smudge of pink slime, and two bits of demonite ore, his ruby sample, and a thran metal shard. "Now. Here is why you need Elemental Delineation for life to exist. Everything has mana in it. EVERYTHING. And mana will attune when it touches matter. It's not really doing much right now, so lets see what happens if we put some demonite ore in this booze here." Leo drops a chunk of demonite in his glass, putting a dome of thran metal mana and iron mana around it just incase it decides to do something violent, letting it come into contact with the liquid. As it sinks into the fluid, the wine immediately begins to rot, bubbling and roiling as green flames leap to its surface. "In the blood, the air, the fruit, the water. Attunement happens all the time, you just don't always notice unless it has a lot of energy or a pronounced effect. In this instance, there's probably a fair amount mixed into this glass, and what we are seeing right now, is the effect produced by one or more of those Attunements. In a world without Elemental Delineation, even a single one of these attunements, if even ONE, produces something which can spread, or self propagate, It would consume everything rapidly. The uncounted number of reactions that we don't even notice as they fade away or fail to catch our eye, would spiral out of control." It's not like Mana types that make spreading effects are all that uncommon. I found a new one just the other day with a simple attunement with this pink gel and the ore. And wax, just by EXISTING in an atmosphere, would create a flame that would consume all heat in the universe."

Leo crosses his arms "First of all, I take issue with the fact that kusuke has consistently treated me like an idiot, Despite displaying next to no understanding of what he is talking about. And his continued insistence that I'm somehow some great threat to everyone around me, and likely to accidently destroy the world, which is quite simply not possible." "Im also going to assert, right now, that I have not been experimenting with 'Increasingly' dangerous things. The threat level presented by the things I have been working with the past week have been more or less consistent. If anything, what has increased was safety measures. I produced golems specifically to keep an eye on dangerous things and contain threats, And I moved future similar experiments outside of the village just in case, following the creation of the sword I made for Jun." "I AM capable of recognizing and dealing with danger. Tania can attest to this, as I actualy went to her before asking if she had anything good for blocking magic flow, since I recently acquired a magic absorbing object that was behaving...." Leo trails off for a moment. "Interestingly….I determined it might be a threat, so I sought to limit its ability to gather power." "I am not incompetent, and Im not that stupid. If I were, I would, in all seriousness, be dead and NOT sitting at this table having this discussion." Leo leans forward, resting his head in his hands, propping himself up on his arms. If he had glasses, they would have caught the light ominously. "Now, In regards to 'Cruel' magic, I'm going to make this very clear. If someone is Actively trying to kill me or someone Im trying to protect, I do not give a shit if they get hurt. In fact, I don't always care if they die a horrible death. Now, this does not mean Im going to go out of my way to torture someone, or that Im going to throw around unneeded suffering. But I will, without hesitation, respond in a manner I deem practical and reasonable. When the fight is over, and the issue is dealt with, then any problems caused can be dealt with. Mental therapy can help with trauma, but it can't bring back the dead." "For example, that cloud I used during the siege. Probbly something I need to look into adjusting so I don't drive pepole mad from pain. Its not practical, nor needed, nor do I enjoy watching my defeated enemies be brought to the state some of those surviving goblins went into. But am I going to sit back and watch someone get hurt because I didn't want an enemy to feel pain? The answer is no." "I also find it quite hypocritical, as I certainly dident hear anyone complain about 'Cruelty' when the others merely abandoned the surviving goblins to die on the battlefield. If I had not sent out the search party, how many of the goblins we saved would have died alone in the dirt long after the battle had passed?""

Leo upon waking up, quickly recollects the events of the day, and the recent argument. He quickly verifies snow is still there, and asks for the time. "You haven't been out that long. Its only about lunch time right now. They split you two up after knocking you out." "Makes sense." Climbing out of bed Leo stretches "Tania Is upstairs waiting for the two of you to wake up. I believe she would like to have some words with you idiots." "Wooooo more lectures." Said in the most unenthusiastic tone ever. "Oh shut up. Its less likely to send you to the nurse. Its not like you wouldent be doing the same thing if you two weren't the one who got pissed off." "Yeah, thats fair." Leo was certainly aware he had been kind of a dick, but he dident really care that much at this point. What did kusuke know? Kusuke, Satomi. Honestly, given what little he knew of them, their behaviors made some amount of sense. But that didn't mean those behaviors wernt fucking stupid, and that he appreciated having his intelligence insulted. Or getting things pinned on him. Still, It was best to be reasonable about this. It was only natural to break up party members when they started fighting eachother, and try to talk to them. It was the least Leo could do to try and be a little patient, even if he would much rather get around to his investigation. "Alright, up we go" Leo exits the cellar

"Oh my, I did forget to explain myself dident I?" There is a rustling, whooshing sound, as Punch seems to rapidly spin, wrapped up in a flurry of the movements of her own fluffy tails. It takes only a moment, and once shes visible again, her outfit has completely changed. Now clad in a loose, sleeveless, low cut grey Gi. She seems to have bandages around her torso under her clothes, and around her forearms, though between looking quite thin, and from the fact her arms looked perfectly find before, Its clearly just for show. On closer inspection, a black cloth belt around her waist is way to long to be reasonable, The fabric going down to nearly her ankles on both sides, trailing just behind her. Both the main pieces of the outfit, and the belt seem to have been embroidered. All along the belt is a tangle of flowers and vines, existing wholly as a white threaded silhouette. As she turns half way to pose, the decoration on her back becomes visible. A single massive and simplistic rendition of an explosion present. Deep reds, bright oranges, and white, mixed with an oddly placed splash of icy teal blue. How she makes it not look completely silly is anyone's guess. "I am the wandering martial artist, who searches for the greatest fighters! Ever expanding my own repertoire of power and testing my strength! "In addition to possessing many powerful techniques of my own, I am, with some preparation, able to copy the Attacks and abilities of others!" Her right arm Is wrapped up in red flames, while her left is wrapped up in an icy blue whirlwind, In truth, It was just an illusion created from her bodily energy, but thanks to her powers, It was as good as the real deal. "Of course, I'm good for more then just punching things. Im a master of disguise, which is only further helped along by clever application of my natural shape shifting abilities." She brings a hand in front of her face, fingers splayed. "INDEED! By assuming the form of but a small fox, it would be no trouble for me to slip into and out of the combat zone, and deliver information back to the group! Even were I to be noticed, I would merely be written off as another fleeing animal, and were even my true nature realized, I would simply act as an excellent distraction!" "Not only that I-" She starts to strike another pose. At this point, its starting to become increasingly clear that if someone dosent stop her, shes going to continue this sales pitch for quite a while.

Leo draws snow, Icy blue energy rushing down from his body, to wrap around the blade. Moving into a somewhat relaxed, but leaning position, with her at his side. His feet spread. His hard light shield appears over his other arm, Ready to fight. "If its a fight you want its a fight you'll get. If you really want to do this then prepare yourself, Once your ready, snow can start the countdown. Speaking of, If you intend to fight all out, Ill be calling my golems in." Snow mutters discontentedly "I swear your both fucking Idiots, and I'm going to have to...uhgggg." "Hey I tried" "You didn't try very hard." Leo shrugs. Stoneheart floats next to the Leo. expressing its own trepidation. "Concern. Both subjects have just come from a lethal stakes battle. Combat is not advised. Although treatment has been rendered neither party is at peak capacity." "Proposal, Postpone any combat to tommrow." "Oh save it, They are beyond help at this point."

Leo sighs "Ok. Lets get this out of the way. First of all, I'm not an idiot, nor am I Incompetent. I know how to deal with threats, recognize signs of danger, and am perfectly capable of producing safe, useable equipment. Second of all, your wrong, and repeating yourself won't make you any less wrong. Thirdly, Its Elemental Delineation." "Now, We Couldddd stand around here and argue about this for a few hours, or we could try and beat the shit out of each other, or have some sort of contest. But frankly I have a million more important things to do with my time, and I'm willing to bet so do you. So lets settle this in a more reasonable fashion, I'm sure we can come to some sort of compromise that will leave us both relatively satisfied." Snow meanwhile sighs internally. As she considered the question of weather she should call In some of the golems, or just let this play out. She would much prefer this not turn into a fight, as, having only just sent most of the golems off, Leo would not have much in the way of backup if this turned violent. Fuck she was going to have to drag one or both of these idiots back to the nurse wasn't she? Leo was already preparing for a fight just in case, running over what he knew in his head. I don't know the mechanism for his powers, but it's probbly internal. Considering It doesn't seem to need any special movements to activate, nor require verbal components, Its almost certainly activated and controlled 100% By Will and Mental commands. That could point to it being some sort of appendix ability. I MIGHT be able to disrupt that if I can slip some of the mana from the Ship's hull metal into his body. Disrupt the energy. Disrupt the ability. Tainted Alloy Ingot mana could floor him, but I would need to be careful to hold back. Dont want to repeat the goblins on a party member. As much as I would rather he go be anywhere else, I can't just blast him like that. Maybe I could use it to erect a barrier around me to prevent him from attacking? Trying to restrain him physically is pointless, And If I can't stop him from using his power....Ill want to already be moving by the time I start a spell. At the very least, A moving target it at least a little harder to grab and predict. Maybe a lightning bolt would work, how did that spell go again? Or maybe... Oh, The dense Ice from the nearby snowy region. I can use its mana to slow him down. I might even be able to slow his thoughts down. Man I wish I had tested that stuff more, would be really handy right about now.

"Don't we already have a description of our target? The idea is, I can shrink down, get in their unnoticed and either scout out the weaponry and abilities of the target, or get up behind them for a surprise attack. Instead of walking into the fight assumeing we have the bigger guns, I could at least get in their and see what they have, THEN we can plan the attack accordingly." She seems to be forgetting she never explained her powers and skills to anyone.

Punch climbs out of the half track and looks off in the direction of the combat zone, crossing her arms. "Sounds like Trouble. What do you guys think? Should we go in for an ambush? If I use my powers, I should be able to slip into the combat zone unnoticed and attack from behind, or I could act as a distraction." Her ears twitch. Hopefuly this would be a pretty good fight. From the sound of it, someone was not satisfied.

Punch nods, as if everything that had just been said made perfect sense to her. "Alright! Sounds fun to me. Im in. Who's driving?" She starts heading to the vehicle, following Mira to what seemed to be the party's ride. This sounded like it would be a fun adventure. Mechanical mob bosses and missing local deities huh? With any luck, she would be able to find something worth mimicking. Even if not, It would certainly be good practice.

Ohhhh boy. This was going to be annoying. He really didn't want to deal with Kusuke right now. He had actually important things to do, and if he told him about the gem, he was sure he would not hear the end of it. With any luck this would be quick. "Oh right, I guess you did help out with my injuries. Your help with the nurse was also appreciated. What do you need? If your looking for weapon upgrades it will have to wait a little bit."

Leo groans, Pulling himself up, and muttering a 'thank you' in Kusuke's direction. He gestures at some of the rubble from the wall and mutters the shape solid spell, creating some chains. "Snow, new orders for the combat Golems. Have them go out and find any goblin stragglers or those unable to flee. Have them take the chains and bring them back alive. Make sure they bring the injured to the nurse." "On it." Leo tells the group he will be back in a minute, and heads to the nurse for his own healing, Once that is done he heads outside for a few brief moments to examine the roots the dryad had grown from the dragon flower. Surely the roots would have some interesting properties, grown from such an interesting flower. .... Ok so the roots are a little underwhelming. He had been expecting something reactive, or hot or something that spewed fire when disturbed Perhaps they might still hold useful properties if further tested though. Regardless, at the very least, the mana type seemed useful. He cut himself some samples, and as the Golems began to return with goblins in chains, he made his way back down to the nurse with them. Unfortunately It seemed like everyone was busy, Leo was about to see about using some raw healing magic to stabilize them, or perhaps useing some potion, but kusuke stepped in, and Timecloned the nurse, which made things so much easier. Once that was done it was time for questioning, he gets the names of the captured goblins, and takes them out one at a time to ask questions. Ensuring that they wont be able to collaborate on a false story or pressure one another into specific answers by presence. It goes....less then perfectly. Oh well, he gets the group of goblins back together and moves to get the final questions out of the way “Alright, So, if you would like to go home back to your fellows, raise your hand.” “Alright, now, among those who did not raise those hands, one at time, I want to hear what you would like to do.” “Options include, but are not limited to, negotiating with the village for permission to live and work here, joining the world hoping travelers on their adventures across the multiverse, going as far away from here as possible, going and finding another world to live in, going and living like a hobo somewhere, or going to the nearest therapist.” “If you have any questions about these options, ask them now.” “A therapist is a sort of doctor. In this context I’m referring to the kind who specialize in dealing with mental issues. Like trauma. A few of you seem a little shell shocked and traumatized by the massacre we just inflicted upon you. So I figured someone might want to see one.” “Right, we will have to take him off world, or see if we can’t find one willing to come here, but I’ll see what I can do.” “The other two will probably need to be treated as well” “One more question for all of you. During the fight a black mist cloud swept down onto the battle field. Were any of you struck by it? And if so, aside from a few moments of searing agony, are you experiencing any lingering effects or side effects?” Well then, that explained a lot. He must have underestimated the psychological effects of the sheer amount of pain his attack caused. He would have to be careful with that in the future. Maybe he could dilute the mana? Thoughts for later. He certainly hadn't been aiming to reduce them to this state. He didn't really Regret using it, They had been attacking after all, and he would do it again. But still the battle was over, and his goals had been to kill, slow, or disable. Not turn them into broken wrecks. “Huh, So that is probably a major contributor to there current state. Note to self, survivors of lethal levels of mana types derived from tainted alloy ingots may suffer crippling psychological damage. Use sparingly. Do not deploy in non lethal combat” He ignores the reaction, and carries on, not really caring if he freaked them out or not. Turning towards toward the 8 goblins who said they wanted to go home, he shatters their chains “If you leave now you might still make it to the ships. Leave now, hurry home, and don’t ever let me see your faces ever again.” “Snow please have the combat units escort them out of the village. If they come back for any reason other then to beg for shelter renouncing there former home, I want them killed on sight.” “Affirmative” “Alright. Now that that’s taken care of....you five, with me.” “Oh wait....” .....”Frostbrute, carry these three” Leo gestures at the traumatized goblins, allowing Frostbrute to pick them up in its massive hands Goblins in tow, he heads to see the guide. "Well. After the battle I sent the remaining combat golems to find and gather any survivors of the siege. The few survivors were brought to the nurse's station for treatment. I got a little, information out of them, but not much. I sent eight of them home. Of the remaining goblins three are extremely psychologically damaged, and effectively non functional at the moment, One wishes to remain in the village fearing what his former comrades will do to him if he returns, and one...." Leo turns to the one who had asked about therapy for the others "What did you say you wanted?" "Right, I was also wondering, do you know any good therapist? The three outside kind of need one. If you can't get one here, we will either have to take them off world, or let them stay here till we can find someone to bring here. The sooner we can get the effected some help, the better." "Alright. Is that agreeable to you two?" "Right, Frostbrute can help you two get the other three to the house. With any luck, the dryad will have something and they will be back on their feet soon." "Don't cause any trouble now, Ive got work to do" Sending the goblins on their, Leo stretches and looks up at the sky, feeling pleased that at least some goblins survived and changed sides. They were probably better off here then in the goblin kingdom, it didn't sound like a very pleasant place. Now then.....he should probably start looking into the disappearance of the gem......

"Punch!" She proclaims "Punch Bombdottr. And while I wont deny I have thrown myself into a few portals of unsure destination, Its more like one just randomly dragged me in this time. I was going to a shop I heard had Lovely wares, rounded a corner and before you know it Im dragged into a swirling vortex of energy and warped space." She pauses, thinking. "Not the strangest thing that happened all week. But unexpected." Then she acknowledges Bridgett "Oh? Now this is interesting. Who's gathering who now? Just what adventure have I gotten myself wrapped up in this time?" She speaks quite animatedly, pairing her sentences with an array of expressive faces and poses. During it all, She subtly gives Mira a wink, though its hard to tell if its an 'Ill make it up to you later' wink, or a 'Oh don't be silly you'll be fine' wink.

"Im fine! Thanks for asking though" Punch hops up without any trouble, and starts trying to fix her hair a little, looking over to the rest of the group. "Well I don't usual fall from the sky and faceplant into the middle of wherever this is. I kinda got grabbed up by a portal or something, I wonder if I made a wrong turn? Aw well. She looked back to the glaring Mira and chuckled. "Is it really so bad for a lovely woman to fall on you?"

"Huh? Woah." At Mira's sudden push the woman fell onto her back, lightly hitting the concrete before tumbling down the last few stairs. Once she lands, she sits back up, hair tussled but looking no the worse for wear and starts looking around. Eyes landing on Mira first, and the rest of the party second. Quickly putting two and two together. "Oh, sorry, didn't see you there. I should of reacted sooner and done something about my trajectory. I promise I don't usually go around face planting into people."

Snow manifest her avatar and looks "Down" at the unconscious leo with a hand on her face. "Did you seriously just get fucking downed by that one, two shot attack? You Just got patched up a few moments ago! Uhggg. This is embarrassing." Snow gives a wave to the others. For someone who was standing over there burning, unconscious companion, she didn't seem overtly worried. Just annoyed, and calmly aware that he should probably get some help. "Hey can someone get him? I think you guys got this, but I would prefer he Not burn to death. Hang on let me call for some golems"

Punch sits up, having not yet noticed the presence of the armored Mira under her, and rubs her face. "Oof...." The white ears on her white haired head twitch, as blue eyes start to focus. She was presently wearing a strange black cross of a tunic and dress, with jeans. The grey straps which formed an X over the front of the dress looked like they might be useful for attaching equipment to, if they actually had something on them. With a belt and bag loosely wrapped around her waist. The belt seemed to be made out of leather that had been stained red, while the bag was just a plain tan leather. "Oh dear. Where have I wound up now?"
