Samus-Polar Cap
Samus had taken the liberty of collecting the device's pieces, and delivered them to Hazor1010 with her helmet serving as a basket. "Unfortunately, I fear that any results we get from researching the device will be weaker than if it were whole. That is why I was trying to avoid using my weapons on it." She drummed her fingers on her Arm Cannon.

She accepted the credits gracefully, though she lacked any way to safely hold them all.

Giffany patiently awaited the end of the song, standing at the back of the stage with her arms folded behind her back. Only after the audience's applause faded did she come forward.

"Excuse me." She announced. "I was hoping that someone here knows the way to the dry cleaners'?"

The café went silent, just a few dozen pairs of eyes blinking in her direction. Finally, somebody voiced everyone's thoughts. "Who's this clown?" That person sparked a flurry of inquiries.

"I've never seen her here before."

"She must have been created recently."

"What a sweet voice!"

"She's got a sweet speaking voice. Let's hear her singing voice!"

"Yeah! Sing it, girl!"

And now Giffany had a few dozen mouths spread open wide, chanting at her. "Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing!"

"O-oh, my..." Giffany took a little step backwards. "Everyone, I'm not a singer. I'm just..." She was drowned out.

"SING! SING! SING! SING!"

"Oh, gosh..." There was no way out. The guest, now with her cheeks matching her hair, stammered while she flipped through her brain for a song. When she had a choice, she cleared her throat loudly enough to silence everyone.

"Donguri korokoro donburiko
O-ike ni hamatte saa taihen
Dojou ga detekite konnichi wa
Botchan issho ni asobimashou

Donguri korokoro yorokonde
Shibaraku issho ni asonda ga
Yappari o-yama ga koishii to
Naite wa dojou wo komaraseta..."

The silence gave Giffany a big smile of hope. Unfortunately, the crowd was not satisfied.

"That's it? Eight verses?"

"Sing more!"

"Oh, no!" Giffany held herself as the crowd began to chant again. "More! More! More! More!"

Whelp, she had a new career. And didn't like it one bit.

"Thanks, Piko." Giffany whispered. With no knowledge of the song he played, she was left to ad-lib.

"My name is Giffany.
I guess this is my home now.
I'm just looking for a place to wash my apron,
So I don't get turned into...Um...
Something out of Tim Burton..."
She cringed.
"I'm new to this whole town
But I hope I didn't drag anyone down
I just like to make people happy, and...
The end."

The audience was unimpressed.

"Sing something that's actually got thought into it!"

"Yeah! Something noteworthy!"

The pinkette twiddled her fingers, with her toes crying for relief from the cold sweat that pooled in her shoes. There was only one ace in the hole she had

"P..." She licked her lips, then leaned into the microphone.

"Picture perfect memories, scattered all across the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind..."

The café finally seemed to be imressed.

"For me, it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
I said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.

"Bloody hell, will you relax for once? Did you not just hear what we said?"
A highly annoyed Max sighed. This was getting out of hand already. At this rate, Nanome was going to do something extremely stupid.
Thing is, the XCOM Commander silently prayed that it wouldn't happen. Not with the next words out of his mouth.
"Officer. I say we should tow this woman's ship back here. In this manner, at the very least she won't panic even more."
"Tow... her ship back here? Well, okay, we can do that, but we've got plenty of monsters out there-"
"Something I'm confident we can handle. You get the ship towed in. We'll see to it your equipment won't explode."
"Well, we're not the type of people to leave an outsider to hang. Alright, we'll see what we can do. We'll send what escorts we can muster and tow the ship back here."
Both men nodded respectfully, before the Officer walked off. But before Nanome could do anything, Max picked the can up.
"And before you ask, no, you're still not getting away with stealing. But we'll get your ship back."

Nanome's stomach continued to churn. No way in Hell was she trusting anyone promising to tow her ship without any proof of them even having a passing association with the IDS! Fighter O-7 was being captured for sure, and she couldn't possibly rescue it. She stifled a sob. "I'm sorry, Fighter O-7..." She was still able to perk up a little. "But at least I can keep the fuel, right?"

Just as she reached for it, it was snatched away from her. Nanome stared at Max as though he had stabbed her in the stomach, although that was the more expected cruelty. She stood up slowly, staring miserably at the ground. "How will I ever get home? My only option is to..." It made her double over to even imagine it. "...get a new ship. But if I can't even get away with one fuel can, what chance do I have getting away with a new ship?" Her eyes shot open, and, like a true fawn in the headlights, she backed away a couple steps before bolting altogether.

Her new destination?

The nearest junkyard or junker ship she could find.

Khara Daelynn ~ Equatorial Strip

The fox girl was busy considering all the different possibilities- yes, all of them- in her head, while whatever was going on around her did so with impunity. She eventually magically drew a line through her stone tablet, striking through multiple strategies at once. They could wait until much, much later. She had an especially-time-sensitive mission on hand already, and that was keeping up with Nanome and worming her way into gaining the damn girl's trust. How many acts of good will would it take to win her over? Khara decided, eventually, on three life-saving actions.

She chuckled. The girl would owe her three times over before she would even consider trusting the kitsune. What a worthy goal. She could make that happen... It would only take three hours out in the desert, she hazarded a guess. Any longer than that, and Khara would throw her hands in the air and give up. More than three hours and the pilot might as well be trying to get herself killed. So, three hours was the limit, if Nanome decided to be quite that suicidal.

"W-wait, Pilot! Slow down!" Khara stowed the stone tablet once more, and pursued Nanome on foot.

Well, that was that, she supposed. Samus turned the remains of the cryo-device over to the authorities, they’d reported the trail of the psychopath, and gotten a hefty reward for their work. Somehow, it all compacted enough to fit in her wallet. While it was still hard to say how far these credits would go, 50 grand was nothing to sneeze at, and you certainly wouldn’t hear Takemi complaining. Even if it turned out to be a relatively small amount, it was her first step towards being able to get out of this box and to go looking for her friends, wherever they might be.

Although the question still left unanswered about what more they should or could do about the criminal. As long as they were still out there, they could just start all this up again; who knew what other sort of hexes they had up their sleeves. Idlely, she looked up at Samus.

“Well, now what?” she said. Sure, she knew what she’d be doing herself, but it would be tough to go it alone, and Samus and the others would be reliable to have at her side. “Should we get going after the psycho?”

"We'll wait on orders." Samus whispered calmly. "If they want us to go after the 'psycho', they will dispatch us. If they want us to stay here, we stay. Besides, I still need to figure out where I am, and where the others are, and if there is still time to make it home before some other attack happens." She blinked slowly, turning her nose down to the floor. They were probably looking for her, wondering why she abandoned them. Or maybe they were excitedly facing any new adventure, with bright eyes, enjoying the company they each took for granted.

"No! I refuse! All of you are crazy!" Nanome shrieked back. "I will not be a prisoner any longer than I've already been! I must return to my commander, and..." Tears resurfaced in her eyes. "...hope she'll forgive me."

Somehow, she's come across the path of a delivery ship, which was relatively low to the ground."Just this one chance!" Working all her strength into her knees, she sprung onto the wing of this delivery craft, landing with a frightened gasp. Then she clung on with all her might, willing to be taken wherever this ship was going, while hoping to spot the local junkyard.

She lost the melody, sobbing and blubbering. "Rumble, I miss you!"

Hazor1010 looks at the broken shards Samus gave him and immediately recognised what they were despite their broken nature. "This is definitely the leftovers of an Ice Hex. That's very high level magic, it's a fairly rare ability for people to be able to cast so whoever left this is definitely pretty experienced. I don't like the look of this, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. The next leaders meeting for Polaria is coming up soon, and I don't think that's a coincidence. Someone is clearly trying to sabotage our home. My friends, I know it's a lot to ask so soon, but can you help me? I'll make it worth your while." Hazor asks of the group.

Polaria - Cindy's adventure

The light coming from under the door frame disappeared as Cindy got closer to the door and once she got right up next to the door she saw that not only had the door been locked, but the bolt had also been frozen in place. With her small size she might be able to squeeze through if she crawled under the door which had a space slightly less than an inch between the floor and the bottom of the door. She might also be able to find another way in through the vents or maybe there was another door somewhere, but either option would likely leave whoever was trying to hide time to escape.

Cindy May

Cindy was immediately faced with a conundrum; continue pursuing her own curiosity- which may lead to her death - or leave the mysterious light alone, after all, she didn’t exactly know where she was nor did she really much care what exactly was going on. But .... and there was always a but, whoever was done there was clearly up to no good. Then again, why should she care? She didn’t even know what this damn fucking place was. Oh, fuck it. She crawled onto her knees and carefully folding her wings, started to crawl through the inch of space, keeping her ears out for any words or conversation as she crawled through. At least her size was useful for something. She crawled all the way to the edge of the door, where she stopped, keeping herself hidden, listening to what was going on. Noids were notorious for being loud as fuck so she could probably hear everything this mysterious person said or did.

Anger welled up in Samus's heart. She'd just come from a home quite literally blown apart, did this magic user really think for a second that she would let another home be destroyed? Hell no! These people were far from friends to her, but in the game of justice, everyone you could get close to without being hurt was an ally. "Of course." She stepped forward. "For peak efficiency, however, I need my Power Suit repaired. Do you know anyone capable of doing so?"

  A rare ability to cast these things - an Ice Hex as it's so called, and judging by Hazor's words, it struck at an awful time. Then he speaks of a meeting - the next leaders meeting for Polaria, and it's coming up soon! Tani listened to what he said after that with full attention and nodded. "You bet we can!"

So they were dealing with a high-power magic user. The Ice-Hex had caused pretty major chaos, but once they’d found it, it was simple to deal with. Although, without Samus’s grapple-beam, they wouldn’t have been able to get the Hex off the boiler, and then where would they be? In truth, they’d been pretty lucky. But now that they knew what they were dealing with, they had more chance to prepare themselves.

But, ugh, politics, what a mess that would be to deal with. If someone was trying to pull a coup, then this was only going to get messier. If Step One was ‘Freeze Everyone to Death,’ then God only knew what else was coming for them.

“As if you even have to ask,” Takemi said, “Of course I’ll help!”

It was going to be her answer from the very start, after all. The promised reward barely ranked compared to the necessity to protect this place. Like hell she was going to turn her back on them now of all times. How could she ever face her friends again if she abandoned these people in their time of need?

Polaria - Cindy's adventure

PolikShadowbliss

In the now darkened room Cindy couldn't see or hear any signs of life anymore. Whoever was in here must have noticed her and left already. The room itself seemed like some sort of office, with a couple desks, some storage lockers, and filing cabinets. Nothing out of the ordinary, it just seemed to be a room that was conveniently not being used at the time. In the back of the room was another hallway that seemed to lead directly to the hangars. There was one thing that was unusual however... on one of the desks was a folded note and a collection of 100 000 credits. The note itself read

"You continue to prove you were worth the cost in hiring you. Things are going according to plan and it's only a matter of time before we have what we want. You already know what to do next. Contained with this note is the next portion of your payment and directions to where the next dead drop will be when the next step is complete." The note was signed in an excessively fancy way that was so over the top it couldn't be read anymore, but as the note promised on the other side was a map and directions.

Hazor's eyes brighten when you say that you will assist and he is quick to let you know how exactly you can help him. "Excellent, I will not forget your kindness." he beams. "There are actually a couple ways you can help out. First is with the upcoming leader's meeting for Polaria which is happening tomorrow, and having witnesses who saw what happened to the boiler first hand would no doubt be appreciated to have supporting me." he explains to the group. Junkyard Jack looks as if he's about to say something about that suggestion but he ultimately stays quiet. "Alternatively... if you don't want to involve yourselves in our politics there is something else you can do to assist. If you could get the Neonian Bureau of Investigation to help us we might be able to track down this saboteur once and for all. The NBI are headed by a man named Alucard, you should be able to find them at their headquarters in New Earth." Hazor continues on before turning to Samus. "And as for you I don't think we've seen anyone with your kind of armour before, but you should go with Jack here. If he can't find someone to help repair it, at the very least he should be able to find some adequate replacement parts for you. He might have an update for how your ship repairs are going too" he sniffles for a bit before turning back to the group. "With whatever you decide to do I do hope you enjoy the rest of your time here in Polaria. If you go to guest lodging I'll arrange for you all to have rooms free of charge if you'd like. And here, since you managed to help get things back to normal so swiftly please accept this bonus reward too" he says, handing you all another 50 000 on top of what you were already rewarded.

(once you choose how you want to help you've got some time to freeroam around polaria if you'd like.)

Cindy May

Reading the letter confirmed to Cindy what she had suspected, whoever this person was, he was up to no good. He was contacted by someone or something for .... um... fucking something. There were so many holes in her logic. Where the fuck was she?!

She needed answers and fast.

She read the letter and gave a cursioty glance at the map, nothing that seemed that important but the letter did say something about currency and currency meant one thing: money.

She picked up the envelope and looked, finding the 100,000 grand.

They were very large, blank notes. At least large to her, being so fucking tiny as she was. She attempted to pick them, and found that she could. After all, it was just paper. Still very large wades of paper that her six-inche frame couldn't carry.

She sighed and flew off the desk and into the center of the room, and then concentrated, pooling in her vast amount of magic.

Shadow vapors emerged from her body, before solidifying into a life-size feminiune shadow figure. Keeping her concentration, she directed her Shadow Self to the desk and had it gather everything it could get her hands on. Including the letter and the notes. She then had the figure fold the blank notes into wades small enough for her to carry. God, she hated being so tiny. She was through the folding process when she realized that doing that was going to take a long time. So she had the Shadow Form absorb the wades of cash. And also the letter and the map. Who knows, they may be useful to someone later. She then summoned the Shade back into her form. And then went back to her true purpose. Finding out what the hell was going on!?

She flew into the inch of door and crawled out of the hatchway and flew through the hangar.

Searching for some answers!

Neon Haven - Temperate Strips
((Hello yes, I'm your backup GM o/))

Temperate North:
NCR Group
Nightwisher (Persephone), Jezza (Amanda) and marc122 (Ruby)

Spoiler: Richard Matthews (for a refresher)

Amanda's exasperation had taken Richard by surprise at first, the young man seemingly softening at the girl next. Something about the girl's plea inspired a protective streak on the head scout. Right. He too had once been in such a position, hadn't he? "Of course!", the genuine reply had come almost automatically, "It's like I said, we may not have much ourselves, but it's in our nature to share and help each other whenever possible... Almost everyone else in here has had a similar experience in the past too.", other members of the NCR would either nod along with the statement, add in their own commentaries or converse in a low voice between themselves over the topic, "We're all stronger when we work together."

With everything said and done, Matthews too had moved on to climb atop a jeep, gesturing for the pair of girl's to follow him. The younger one had most likely done so, especially since the NCR member had let her enter the vehicle first, just in case she'd need assistance getting on it. Perhaps this was exactly why Ruby's display of badassery had gone mostly ignored, with the huntress having to catch up with them afterwards.

"I don't think so...?", Richard had muttered more to himself than anything, giving a quick glance back at the now-empty grounds and not seeing Persephone who was still hidden by some plants, "Yeah no, I don't see anyone else, I believe that was everybody." With the order to leave, the jeeps would begin to slowly travel noticeably to the exact opposite direction of the previously departed group. Instead of moving out of the abandoned city, they actually seemed to be going further in...

Newerth
P PopcornPie

Every time that a task was selected, the machine had emitted a beep and a message to take a ticket would pop-up in the screen. Paper slips with more instructions would also be expelled from a previously unnoticed slot under the notice board panel:

"Once you've found Pinky, insert the ticket back in the quest completion slot to notify the owner of its return. They will bring your reward shortly.", It's what Entrapta's little paper would say.

Meanwhile, Caramel's instructions were quite different: "Bring this to the Leyline Tower as quickly as possible to begin your task, someone will be waiting for you at the entrance. Payment will be received after completion."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CocoaMarshmallow (Unregistered Hypercam 2), Yamperzzz and darkred (Bardock)

Spoiler: Thomas G.

The lack of enthusiasm of the group over the majestic, grand sight of Newerth itself had been slightly irritating to the mage, even more after all of the build-up he had been preparing. With a deep breath, the young man tried not to let that get to him much, not letting his disappointment show to the others. Give them time, they'd come around.

"Ah, speechless...", Thomas had commented, holding that smile along with the ever-dignified stance of his, "An appropriate reaction." Gargan had been the only one to actually say something, going straight to the point. It was the kind of resolve that pleased Thomas greatly. "A visit to the Magic Academy it is then." And with that, the white-haired mage would immediately turn in a different direction, soon passing in-between the circle of buildings rather nonchalantly, as if not truly caring whether the group was still following him or not.

Temperate South - Torikago
Topless (Shujinko, Ken, Ragna, Taro, Yuri) and DapperDogman

The Imp slashed by Shujinko's weapon as well as the one shot by Ragna at close-range would both succumb under their respective attacks, reducing the number to three. The one sucker-punched by Ken would grow disoriented by the sudden blow, which in turn had made its attack pattern a lot more erratic, clawing at the air all around it in the hopes of hitting its attacker back. Similarly, the Imp that had once been aimed at Lloyd and tackled by Yuri would change targets and quick turn around to jump and claw at the disruptive girl.

Taro's predicament continued, with the creature desperately trying to reach the young man, slowly inching closer as, with help of gravity, the Imp began to slide ever so slowly down the tip of the spear. Sure, it would eventually end itself at the blade at this rate, but it might not come without some damage done to the wielder as he would soon come into range of those deadly, flailing claws... Uhhh, some help here?

A familiar voice lifted Samus out of her depression. She turned on her heel, her eyes exploding with delight. "Mario! You're still here!" A warm, fuzzy feeling swelled within her tired chest as she bent down to lightly embrace him. "But why didn't you go with Banjo? Or Isabelle? You could have gone home, and then Palutena could have healed you!" Her eyes went damp, then ignited. "Don't tell me they didn't invite you! Oh, I know they're younger, but they know better than to leave their leader hanging!" She stomped her foot.

"What?! No, Mario, San Moose isn't real. It's only me, Samus. I'm the real one. See my eyes? You remember that our cloned selves have different eyes, right?" In defeat, she let her head fall limp. "Please, Mario, say that you remember something!"

Entrapta-Temperate
"Well, all right, then!" Entrapta shunted her ticket into her pocket. She hoisted herself in the air with her ponytails, and began to crawl around. "Pinkiiiieeee! Pinkypinkypinky!" If Pinky was deliberately trying to hide, then he would have been alerted to find a new hiding place by his pursuer's complete ignorance to the concept of being discreet.
Caramel-Temperate
Upon reading her directions, Caramel giggled smugly. Why, asking a rabbit to deliver something quickly was like asking a robin to fly, or a honeybee to harvest pollen!

It was a little tough to identify Leyline Tower, but she believed that she found the right place. "Hello, darling. I have come looking for work here."

The patrons began to grumble at both Giffany and Piko.

"Hey, you! She's upset!"

"Who programs a virtual idol who breaks down into tears like this? I come here to be entertained, and now I'm sad!"

"Oh, s-sorry! I'm so sorry!" Giffany unsteadily rose to her feet. "I'm just going through a lot right now, and-huh?"

One of the actual virtual idols had placed her hand on Giffany's shoulder. Giffany hunched her head into her shoulders, shuddering. But the look on the idol's face was purely sympathetic, as she herded the guest backstage.

[div class=rText]"Yeah, united we stand, after all!"

Ruby pumped her fist in the midst of her sharing of sentiments with the NCR. Then, while she expressed her excitement about working together, suddenly, she felt a sense of melancholy. The excitement already started to fade out, her fist dropping towards the ground, all the while she realized that it wouldn't be the same.

[div class=rText]"...Just like our team back in Beacon..."[/div]

She did not give up so easily, though. She mentally reassured herself that she needn't to worry; the NCR appeared trustworthy enough, after all.

Soon enough, the jeeps' ignitions jumpstarted their engines, and the group was off towards an abandoned city. The group was off towards an abandoned city. At first, Ruby was genuinely confused; where were they headed, exactly?

Then she remembered: Mountain Glenn.

The assigned mission was to search for possible traces of whatever was bringing the Grimm into a then-recent hotspot, possibly an criminal division, hence the "search". The assigned mission also was to thwart their efforts in whatever Roman and the White Fang were cooking up to devastate the City of Vale, hence the "destroy".

She wouldn't be surprised if it was the case at the abandoned city, yet this was different.

One of the most notable differences were that the NCR gave off the aura of being like genuine friends; Matthew's response to Amanda's plea was certainly genuine, and it appeared that the response among the rest of the NCR members was unanimous. They also did not berate her and the gang just for not being like them, unlike those rather...irksome wizards, whom the white-haired boy led. It was still up in the air whether the group was going to live up to the implied promises, but Ruby trusted them to live up to it.

That being said... Ruby saw potential in being friends with Amanda. Unlike with Penny, though, she instantly saw promise in her, and so she was willing to take a chance right from the start.

So, she did.

[div class=rText]"U—uhh... Hi! Sorry about that from earlier..."[/div]

Ruby gave an awkward chuckle, quickly blinking towards the abandoned city before her eyes locked on Amanda again. For a short moment, she kept quiet, ambivalent as to what to say.

[div class=rText]"...So, what's your name?"[/div]

-The Fellowship-

Spoiler: Legend

"Volkhov"=Shujinko Kanou
"Squada One"=Ken Akatsuki
"Sriracha"=Taro Saito
"Righteous"=Piko Rockwell
"Acme"=Genpachi Go

"Volkhov"=Dorothea Ivonne
"Lacquer"=Ragna Rockwell
"Tomorrow"=Yuri Yakumo
"Pacifico"=Mitsuri Saionji
"Permanent Marker"=Eun-Jin Soo

>"Hey! I'm not the one who programmed her! I'm not even a programmer at all!"

>Piko was furious, but more importantly, he is getting frustrated with everything turning out. Just then, one of the actual virtual idol came over to Giffany and tries to comfort her as she leads the guests backstage. He would eventually follow.


>With two imps down, three of them remain; one is trying to land a hit on Ken, the other jumps over to Yuri, and the last one is trying to reach it's claws down on Taro. You, Ragna, and Lloyd remain.

>"Shujinko, Ragna, Lloyd, they're in trouble! Please, help them!"

>Who will you give aid to?
>Ken Akatsuki
>Taro Saito
>Yuri Yakumo

-FINISH THE FIGHT-

Overdrive In-Progress

>"Please let me explain what's this bar here. This is the "Overdrive Meter". Every time you make an action, the meter will be filled up every 10% regardless on how you perform. Once the meter is full, you can proceed to deliver an "Overdrive Break", basically your strongest attack performed in the most flashy and destructive way, regardless of logic or reason. Think of it as like the Limit Breaks from Final Fantasy, the Astral Finishes from BlazBlue, the Blockbusters from Skullgirls, or the Insta Kill Attacks from Guilty Gear (of course if the character is of importance, the Overdrive Break will just deliver massive damage instead of, you know, instantly killing him). As long as I am by your side, you can command anyone, and I mean ANYONE and including you, to perform their respective Overdrive Breaks, regardless of their abilities. It is to make full use of what they have to the utmost peak. Be warned though, as realism takes place, they can be avoided. Fortunately, that won't instantly drain all of that hard work to fill it up. Now with all that being said, try to fill up until a quarter. I have a feeling that once we're done with them, more will come. Good luck."

>You rush over to Yuri and quickly try to stab the imp before it could sink it's claws into on her. Meanwhile, Ken backs away to avoid the swinging claws as he finds an opening to deliver an attack and as Taro was about to give out, Ragna aims her pistol and starts shooting the imp before it's too late.

LOCATION: NEON HAVEN; POLAR CAP

Takemi gratefully accepted the additional 50’000. It was the next step that complicated things; at least one of them should stay behind to give testimony at Hazor’s meeting. Being interrogated didn’t sound pleasant, but she didn’t sign up to have a good time. If she were to head to the NBI, that would take a little planning; depending on how long the trip was and how long she’d be there, she’d need to think about accommodations, food, protection; it was a dangerous world out there. It was a dangerous world in here, too. On the other hand, Takemi looked over at Samus’s weird friend. If he was planning on delivering a report to the NBI, then someone should probably go with him. The two of them seemed to be talking past each other, as if they were having two completely different conversations. By the way Samus was talking, this was obviously not normal.

“I’ll go along to the NBI too,” she said, more to Hazor than the duo, not wanting to interrupt them, “Playing politics isn’t really my bag, and if the situation is big enough that you need to get the feds involved, then better sooner than later, y’know?”

Violet Saphyr (Mirror Ruby)

Violet Saphyr could make a game out of lurking in the shadows, listening in on people's conversations. She had arrived on this .... planet ... weeks ago, and has since been avoiding contact with anyone and everything. The occasional talk here and there, a passing word, she was friendly enough on several occasions, but only just. They didn't call her the Cold One for nothing and friendly to her was her simply taking the time to even talk to you.

She had heard that they had found stragglers, and had taken them here. And that was when she saw her! A splitting image of Violet herself but somehow inverted. The colors were all wrong! She was wearing red instead of blue and white, and her eyes shined silver but there was no mistake. Her face was the same, her voice was the same, adept chirpier and lighter, where hers was dark and low. But the tones and inflections were the same.

She watched this MIrror for a long time, getting over the shock of her existence. At first, she thought that she was merely an Avatar, just like the ones here. But listening in: hearing that MIrror Imposter mention Beacon by name and the rest of her team. There was no doubt about it whatsoever. She was her. A different her. A happier her. Someone who had everything in life whereas she had nothing. Violet gritted her teeth against each other. Someone exists that has her face and her voice, with only the goddamn weapon being different. It was all one cruel joke.

And each joke had it's punchline.

So, smirking a bit, she jumped down from her perch and landed right by Ruby Rose, right behind her in fact.

And simply coughed.
