(
deep inside of me )
Between the oblivious new arrivals, the ones that were trying to get out of the square as fast as they could, and the Father Times that had split off from the main group, Times Square was a confusing, pushing, shoving mess.
And at midnight, just when things couldn't possibly get worse - the giant monster New Year Baby appeared.

Jade, I'm glad you came!

Of course I did!

[ she pulls all the threads of the objects in her barricade together to hold them tightly ]

Don't worry! We'll make sure they hold!

[ she wrapped the threads around her arm once, and wondered how the best way to do this might be ]

[Jade considers this, biting her lip as she surveys the crowd of people around them.]
How many people do you think we can take with us when we teleport?
Reply
[ though with this many people would take forever, unless she could try to get multiple portals open one-handed ]

[Naturally, a holiday couldn't go by in the City without something horrible happening. He hadn't been around long, but he'd already been learning that fact. This would help make it stick.]
[Well. The people around him were definitely not those who were keeping calm, and when you're only six years old, survival skills don't mean a whole lot if you're surrounded by big, heavy adults. He didn't want to physically injure anyone, but Ruka had said that sometimes nice people had to do bad things for the greater good... and he only had one other way to stop the madness ( ... )

but seeing it come in a wave would generally imply something was causing it, something that might be better directed to herself than allowed to cause further harm to these people. and so, she reels in a portal with her free hand to catch this wave and carry it out beyond the edge of the throng, where she could see it, and readied herself to meet this new threat. ]

[Something doesn't look... right about the area behind her, but at this point, he's too concerned with escaping the crowd to care. There's already a bruise forming on his shoulder from getting knocked about, and he doesn't fancy anything worse--like trampling.]
[Kanaya has a little kid running straight for her. True, he's not on the attack, but how is she to know that he's only seeking safe cover?

she released the threads she held to anchor the portal, and the disappeared as soon as she did while the two gates converged into normal space once more. she offers the now free hand to trowa, while her other wraps its threads a little tighter, reinforcing her barricade made with all the items connected to them ]
Are you alright, little one? There are a considerable number of dangers present at the moment!
[ it's at this point she realizes that the wave had ended in the crowd, and tenses as she begins to entertain the thought that its cause may be headed right for her ]

[He spots the hand suddenly being held out and his eyes grow wide. Realizing that she intends to take his hand, and knowing what that will do to her if she does, Trowa crosses his arms and tucks his hands in tight. He then attempts to turn aside at the last moment, stumbling a bit. If she doesn't move, he'll smack right into her.]
