[Look, the sun is high up in the sky. The birds are Ferio is chirping. There's little green riding hood trudging her feet down the lane. Oh wait, it's just Fuu. She's currently fixing her uniform for the Turnabout in front of her bedside mirror.]

I wonder if there will be a lot of customers today, hm Ferio? There seem to be a power---

[And here's why Young Mistress Umi is preoccupied elsewhere...]

Fuu! Stay in your room and lock the door! There's one of those freaky murderous statues in the apartment, stalking Hikaru! If it touches anyone---

Dammit, no...

Now there's TWO of them?!

[willofthewinds]

Freaky murderous--- oh my, stalking? Whatever do you mean, Umi-san? [Still gazing at the statue, but looks at the device. Hey, Tatra's staring at it for now, anyway.]

[soulofocean]

Don't take your eyes off of it! It can only move when you do.

Fuu, this is bad. If one of those things MOVES and touches us...! And now we have to deal with multiple ones...

[willofthewinds]

Guru Clef is saying the same thing. Is this today's curse, Umi-san? I don't think I can take my eyes off of such a beautiful sculpture.

[soulofocean]

...Yeah, this is what we get to go with the blackout. I SO knew it. It couldn't come without catches!

[willofthewinds]

I fail to see the connection of a power outage to a series of unknown sculptures. What is really going on?

[soulofocean]

...The last time they came it also started with a power outage. Or-! What looked like a power outage. I think the darkness works as a cover for them. To either creep us out MORE or give these things more freedom to sneak on us.

[willofthewinds]

So... they really move? If so, what do they want from us?

...I think they feed on life force. Or magic, in our case! Ken warned me about that: if they touch you it's over for you. I barely managed to get away the last time they invaded the City.

[soulofocean]

That's right! Fuu, that mirror in your room... Get the statue to look at it!

Oh, dear!

[willofthewinds]

Then, I'll have to do it right away then. [Slowly backs away but still staring.] But... how about Princess Tatra?

[soulofocean]

...Is the Princess in there with you? She's awake??

[willofthewinds]

She is and the angel almost attacked her.
