WHO: Eas and QUITE POSSIBLY YOU!
WHAT: Eas is causing trouble.
WHERE: Bright Sky Diner, Genessia City
WHEN: April 5th
WARNINGS!?: Property Damage/Violence/Maybe some other stuff?



[Since arriving in Genessia, Eas had spent a good portion of her time laying low. Sure, she had helped Mercury with his latest escapade but it really hadn't had anything to do with her mission. Instead she had slowly worked to establish her alter ego here while waiting for any word from her Lord Moebius, as well as constructing a new Misfortune Gauge so she could continue her mission regardless of where she was. Normally communicating between worlds wasn't a problem for them but it seemed this place was different, or that her master simply had no reason to contact her.

Which is what brought to brought her out to the main Genessia city today, if there was no word from Moebius, then her mission had not changed. She still had to gather cause despair and gather Misfortune Energy to locate Infinity for him. Her travels brought her to an old style diner called Bright Sky. The people inside generally seemed to be enjoying themselves which made her stomach twist with disgust. Her eyes locked on the old jukebox through the window and she suddenly had an idea, that would make for a decent enough Nakewameke.

A moment later she entered the diner and struck a confident pose, speaking loud enough that her voice would catch everyone's attention.]

I am Eas, denizen of Labyrinth and faithful servant of Lord Moebius.

[She received a few blank stares from the patrons as her attention again turned to the jukebox. She rubbed her palms together and parted them, a light formed between them and magically produced a diamond shaped, crimson card.]

Nakewameke, Unleash your evil!

[She took the card in hand and tossed it at the jukebox. Once it hit both were covered in a sudden cloud of smoke. The smoke dissipated a moment later to reveal that the machine had grown so large that it barely fit in the building anymore. It also had also gained a set of robotic-like arms, legs and a head. (Something kind of like this but a jukebox.)

The jukebox monster quickly made use of it's new found limbs to walk right up to a nearby table and hurl it through the window onto the street. This almost immediately caused a panic, with people quickly trying to get out of the monsters way and out of the restaurant.

Eas all the while just kept close to her creation as moved through the broken window to get outside where it would have more room to move and cause chaos. The sight of people fleeing, their cries, their terror made a small smile curl up on Eas' lips. She was back on track with her mission and she couldn't be more pleased.]

best way to intro my magical girl?

[starlight_breaker]

[Nanoha was so confused. No one in the Time-Space Administration Bureau had told her, that she should go on a new mission here and well, she wasn't even supposed to be sent to new missions by TSAB anymore. She had rejected promotions, missions, and whatever to just work as a combat instructor to train new people. That way she could always make sure she'd get home safe and in time, mostly to not worry Vivio or Fate-chan with her reckless actions during missions. Raising Heart wasn't even able to call them, it should have been easy to get away from here that way but it seemed like there was nothing they could do about this kidnapping situation for now.

So rather than just staying still, she had been walking around Nova City to get to know this place. Maybe she should have said something with her new videophone by now, who knew, but she skipped that part to clear her head first. Nova City seemed like the easiest way to get started with its technology level being about as high as it was back home. Even if she hadn't woken up there, she'd probably be there by now, but the current location of the bay made it easy for her today. She didn't even need to swim to get to the other side, Raising Heart helped her to fly over it, though now she was back to her normal outfit again with the device as a necklace-lookalike red ball on her.

Everything was mostly calm until that table suddenly flew out of the window. Nanoha didn't scream or panic, that wasn't her style. She frowned and walked closer, dodging people right and left as they were running to get away from there. Good, good they should get away --]

...Master.

[The sudden voice from Raising Heart made Nanoha stop just in time to not to get too close to those walking out of the window.

... O... kay... That thing certainly wasn't what she expected to see today. It looked like a jukebox maybe? Maybe. Or at least it might have been just that earlier, but.... Well, whatever it was, didn't really matter, but she should stop it. She looked around first, noticing that one girl, who was keeping close to the whatever it was and she didn't seem to be panicking either. Well then, it was probably not going to work if she knew people like this at all, but there was nothing wrong with trying to talk first?]

I guess asking something like "please make it stop" isn't going to work, huh?

[Nailed it.]

Best way to introduce your magical girl

[switch_over]

[The Jukebox Nakewameke was more than content to just go about it's day and cause wanton destruction without much prodding from Eas. It's glass opened up and began firing a volley of massive records at the fleeing people, for the most it's aim wasn't the greatest but it was enough to motivate people to get out of there faster.

...Except for one person. Eas narrowed her eyes as Nanoha approached and seemed to be unphased by the chaos her creature was causing. She couldn't help but chuckle briefly at the other girls question.]

It will not. You'd best get out of the way.

[Eas tilts her head toward the Nakewameke, then point her finger at Nanoha. The creature turns it's head in her direction then fires off another massive record right at her.]

[starlight_breaker]

[Well, she tried to be nice. It was clearly time to be less nice and polite then, in a way at least.]

Ah, that's true even if our definitetion of getting out of the way isn't the same...

[Nanoha reaches out her right hand to defend herself from that record. A hand wouldn't be enough, but the pink magical cirle between the hand and the record is another thing.]

You know, you could have hurt a normal girl with that...

[Yes, she knows it kind of MIGHT BE your intention here, doesn't mean she can't try talk to people when they do these things. But since she's attacking, and who knows what comes next --]

Raising Heart, please.

Alright.

[Yes, her so called necklace is talking and glowing before it disappears and that sure is a magical girl transformation right after the words.]

[switch_over]

[That pink circle is enough to make Eas' eyes go wide for just a moment before she returns to her calm and determined demeanour. Her fists tighten with annoyance as she realizes this girl will be more difficult to terrorize than the others.]

I could have, that was the point.

[Eas will raise her hand as the girl starts her magical girl transformation, but preparing to signal her Nakewameke to attack once the girl is finished and has likely performed her introduction speech (because they always have those). Eas will throw her hand down when it's time for the fight to resume and the monster will fire three more of the records, this time firing them so they curve in at different angles and will be difficult to block all at once.]

[starlight_breaker]

[Well, actually Nanoha doesn't have an introduction speech like most magical girls do since she never really... came up with one and when you work for the military, they'd just waste your time from action. She doesn't even need to say what she'd say at work, it's something she needs to remind herself while she's making the transformation.

A three on one attack was nothing new to her. It was actually a good tactic for another reason too since now the girl is also holding a weird gold/pink/white staff and while she was holding it with one hand now, she actually needed both hands to shoot most things with it! So an attack like that? She had to use both hands to hold two of them away from her, again with the magical circles and yes, even with the staff in one hand. Shooting with Raising Heart wasn't going to be an option right now. The third one was a problem though! She should have just used Raising Heart shield her from all of them at once, maybe, but this was a way to get more creative maybe.

Still no sign of nervousness or anything even if she may have just given her weakness about needing both hands to shoot away here. Nanoha frowned a bit, thinking of her next move while she tried to keep the third one away from herself with the round shields from defending for the other two. Bad plan, or no, not exactly a bad one, but it wasn't going to work for much longer.

The red ball shaped thing on her staff flashed again as the device said something and pink wings appeared on Nanoha's shoes before she tried to get out of there by flying.]

[switch_over]

[The weakness hadn't exactly been revealed as Eas had no idea at the moment that Nanoha could even fire that bizarre thing. Her eyes narrow as the the girl blocked two records with the shield again and flew over the other with those bizarre pink wings on her shoes.

The Nakewameke responded by firing off another record at her. This one wasn't exactly meant to hit her though, just distract her while it took a few lumbering steps toward her and tried to pluck her out of the air before she could get away..]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Aw man, just when Venus thought she didn't have to get involved in yet another fight after the last one, she found herself trying to dodge one person as they ran past, then two. It continued to the point where she felt like she had to jump up and stand on the rooftops. Well that was good enough at least.]

I know people love rock n roll, but this is just too much.

[She made her way over the rooftops so she could get a closer look at what was going on, preparing to attack should the need arise. Although she wasn't quite sure how well just one attack is going to do. But never the less she jumped down. landing on surfaces as she went down before landing on the floor and striking a pose.]

You shouldn't ruin a perfectly good music machine you know, so because of that I, Sailor Venus, solider of love and beauty shall punish you.

[She was ready for anything really.]

[switch_over]

[Eas' expression hardened as Sailor Venus dropped in on the scene. She was certainly different than a Pretty Cure, but she couldn't deny that there were similarities at the same time. She was also here to put a stop to her little reign of terror, something that Eas could not allow.]

Solider of love and beauty? Don't make me laugh

[She gave her finger a snap and the Jukebox monster turned it's attention toward Venus.]

Nakewameke, crush her!

[...And without warning that thing is going to make a headlong charge toward Venus. When it gets closer enough it'll pull back with it's huge fist and throw a punch right in here direction. It's faster than it looks, watch out.]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She had maybe miscalculated and as she watched it swing, she tried as quickly as she could to jump back, but still managed to get hit, slamming into a near by wall. Closing her eyes she figured that it was a good time as any to focus and hope that she could attack now.

Jumping up in the air, she held her hands in front of her before swiftly moving it to the side and prepared her attack.]

Rolling Heart Vibration! [She unleashed a heart shaped light towards the jukebox as she landed on a near by roof. Maybe this might be of benefit to her rather than being low on the ground.]

Hey, jukebox hero. You have some punch, but I bet that's all.

[switch_over]

[The Nakewameke took a moment to get back to a normal stance once the punch had sent the Sailor Soldier flying. It was also a very large and easy target for the Rolling Heart Vibration to it. It stumbled back awkwardly, crushing a mailbox on it's last step.

The musical menace glances up to the rooftop where Venus stood and after a moment it's glass case slide open. From inside it began to fire off a volley of three oversized records at Venus. The distance between the two made them would make the slow moving projectiles easy to avoid. That and there aren't really any pedestrians to get caught in the crossfire up there.

Eas all the while slowly leaves the monsters side, slinking off to the shadows to watch the battle from there.]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[They really were easy to avoid as Venus used her agility to narrow avoid being hit by them while at the same time using the opportunity to get in closer to use another Rolling Heart Vibration when she landed on it. Being much closer she assumed that it would at least cause much more damage.

Once she used the attack she started to look around, wondering where the one that caused all of this had gone. She made a note to look when this was over.]

[sakuya_izayoi]

Sakuya had just been going about her day in the diner... It was a particularly slow day, in fact, and she looked forward to clocking off. She had a LOT to do when she was off and simply idling around (or in this case, serving cups and plates to the few people in her section) did not sit well with her. Still, she would have taken that uncomfortable idleness over this.

Resting her elbows on the bar, she leaned forward, pinching the bridge of her nose as the jukebox monster roared and crashed out the window, trying to ignore the screams of panic around her. Another mess to clean up!

She walked calmly around to the employee exit, a, many of the waiters and cooks fleeing. Reaching around she untied and removed her apron, folding it and setting it on a stool, placing her tiny hat on top. Only then did she approach Eas.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to pay for the window and the Jukebox Ma'am." She flexed her hands, toying with the pockets of space in her cuffs and dress where she kept her knives.

[switch_over]

[It wasn't hard for Eas to notice the one girl calmly walking toward her admits all the chaos her monster was causing. It's an oddity that stands out to her, one person not afraid, one person coming instead of going. She was careful to step back and put the Nakewameke between her Sakuya as the other girl spoke up, no telling whether this girl may have been a member of Pretty Cure or some other group that stood against Labyrinth.

Still her words couldn't help but amuse Eas.]

The jukebox will be returned when I'm done with it. The window I can do nothing about.

[not that she planned on it anyways.]

The door was too small for it's new form, we had to improvise.

[sakuya_izayoi]

Another deep sigh, irritation creasing her features. It was clear that while some might put on a false bravado to seem brave it was not the case here. Sakuya was not intimidated in the slightest. "So long as it is functional when you return it..." She didn't want to deal with this person right now. She really didn't.

"There isn't any getting around it, however. The window you will have to pay for. Surely if you had the power to make such a creature for you could have moved the glass. I've found those with a lot of power can be short sighted at times." A glance up at the creature once more before looking over, making mental notes on the various damages. "I'll spare you the lecture since we're probably running short on time."

The white haired woman crossed her arms, immaculate nails drumming on one forearm. "I would be more angry that you've driven the customers away but today wasn't exactly busy in the first place. And the publicity might be decent for business. Just grab a pen and I'll check with the owner how much you owe." The way she spoke it was like she didn't even consider that Eas might refuse.

[switch_over]

[Eas raised an arm to call off her creatures attack on the civilians for the moment. While it wouldn't gather the energy she desired while it paused, she knew that she might need it for something else at the moment. The girl that stood before her was either had the strength to back up their nonchalant behaviour or was incredibly stupid. Either way it was best to be prepared.]

Wouldn't you say this is a bit beyond your pay grade? If the owner is so concerned about the window, then he can come speak to me himself.

[sakuya_izayoi]

"Perhaps, but he and his wife are elderly and I do not wish the stress of a direct confrontation upon them." She looked up at he monster. "I am a servant of nobility and have developed over the years a sense of how my superiors operate so I may better do my job."

She stopped drumming her fingers, arms falling to her sides, sliding one foot slightly to one side. Less casual, more threatening. She focused her gaze on Eas. "And I think you misunderstand my intention. It wasn't a request. You are paying for these damages. Once you have you are free to do as you see fit."

Her eyes narrowed as if daring Eas to object or try to brush her off. The maid was quite aware the monster had paused in its rampage and was paying acute attention to the conversation. This woman wasn't a fool or so cocky as to not take precautions against the unknown. She reached out with her mind, running her senses over the fabric of spacetime, fingertips moving involuntarily, ever so slightly to make contact with the silver case of her pocket watch.

[have_hat_will_travel]

[As the creature began to move and cause panic, a certain succubus observed from a nearby rooftop, chuckling. From her angle, Eas could probably spot her, but few others could.]

How very intersting... Fu fu fu...

[switch_over]

[Eas certainly does spot her, but going up to visit certainly isn't on her to-do list. She's on the job and this Nakewameke needs at least a little bit of direction to keep it on task. She'll shoot a glance up toward Pidonus but she'll just keep following her creation on for the moment.

The Nakewameke on the the other hand is going to town with the whole causing misery thing. It's swinging it's arms around, smashing into the the ground, firing giant records at people passing by.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

[As Eas moves to follow her creation, Pidonus disappears. A split-second later, Eas feels a bit of wind from some air being ever-so-slightly displaced, followed by the 'click' of the succubus' heels as she lands from her teleport to one side of the woman.]

Animating objects. Interesting technique. Might I ask what the point is?

[switch_over]

[Her eyes shift over toward the other woman, for a moment the monsters attack stops and it's attention focuses on her as well.

Eas doesn't particularity like it when people get the drop on her.]

It is my Master's will and I am servant fulfilling the task at hand.

If you plan on getting in my way, I wont show any mercy.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Now, now. Did I say anything about stopping you? He can keep right on working, and so can you. I'm just a curious little person who might be willing to actively help you out, depending on your larger aims.

[incendii]

[ After the headache that was that annoying human, Olisha figured that a walk would do her some good to clear her head and reduce that irritating migraine. However, she did take note of the people that were running in fear and panic. A violet eyebrow rose and she calmly walked over to the source of all this chaos -- chaos in which she was explicitly not causing by herself.

Her crimson eyes widened at the table that was being flung in her direction, and in the span of a few seconds, her entire right arm transformed into a monstrous dragon's head, sending a large stream of fire at the irritating table, incinerating it before the woman's arm reformed again. ]

Good boy, Apophis. I'll have to find you a nice, juicy animal for that.

[ Her hands rest on her hips and she stares up at the jukebox Nakewameke, largely unimpressed. ]

Tell me what exactly is the point of this? Are you that bored?

[switch_over]

[Eas stepped out of the wreckage of the Diner behind the Nakewameke. Her eyes glanced over to what little was left of the table before shifting to the woman who had destroyed it. She gave a slight sneer when the woman asked if she was bored of all things.]

This has nothing to do with boredom, I have my orders and I'm following them.

[incendii]

[ The sneer is met with a view of her rather pointed teeth before her head is canted slightly to the side. ]

Orders, you say? And what would these entail?

[ Her eyes glance over to the Nakewameke again, giving off a thoughtful hum as her hand stroked her chin. ]

You know, you might have a better chance at this if you didn't make it look so childish. Where's the monstrous maw? The hundreds of eyes? The tentacles that open to reveal sharp spikes to impale people on?

[ She sits back, hovering in mid-air while her legs cross over one another with her head balanced on her knuckles. ]

[switch_over]

[Eas' expression doesn't change. This person isn't preventing her from carrying out her orders but she isn't helping either. As far as she's concerned this conversation is more a waste of time than anything.]

Gathering despair these people feel to fill the Misfortune Gauge, none of your business.

[Okay. That might get a slight eyebrow raise.]

This is preforming the job adequately. I'm not letting any excess energy escape my grasp, it is a delicate process.
