[WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK. Normally, hey, he'd comment to the journal first, but the journal catching his words is more accidental this time.]
Aradia...??
[He doesn't waste much time with waiting for a response, and he definitely heard that crash, so he sets off looking for her immediately.]
[You're in luck, Sollux, she just passed by your door! She's slowed down a bit in order to cause as much damage out here as she can. Some of the walls crack as she goes by, and next to his door a lovely table is crushed to bits apparently under its own weight, caving a portion of the floor in under it so it looks like a sinkhole waiting to happen. She appears to be headed for the stairs.]
[At the top of the stairs, she turns, recognizing the voice even through her one-man resonance cascade. Her eyes are impossibly bright, and the excess energy bleeding from them - and her mouth, as she speaks - is almost tangible in its potency.]
[he both knows and doesn't know that voice, and -- well -- he doesn't like it. he doesn't even have to grab his meter to know that the ambient PKE just pretty much buried the needle. the walls are shaking faintly, and he decides a tower room might not be the most stable place to be, so he hoofs it down to the lobby]
[and yeah. wow. um. that looks like all nine kinds of not good]
[Hello lobby. That'ssss some very nice decor you have in here, it'd be a sssshame if something were to happen to it... There's not a lot of furniture here that's still in one piece, and the chandelier shakes wildly as she floats beneath it. She's still bleeding energy from her eyes, and it's starting to leak from the joints between her arm plates, too.
She does not appear to register Dr. Ray's presence at the moment, but he may not want to stand, like... underneath anything. There's a good-sized chunk falling out of one of the support arches.]
[oh wow what is he even seeing right now stop that you
Though when shit's going down Ryotaro isn't usually one to hesitate to dive into the middle of it. It's usually during the course of things he realizes it's a bad move. So he'll approach. Everrrrr so cautiously.]
[Yeah, Ryotaro, that may have been a bad move. Aradia detects somebody trying to distract her, and without even looking at him, sends the nearest decorative suit of armor flying in his direction at high speed.]
[Though suddenly he stops the entire things momentum with a single punch, sending it off in some other direction. Then a dramatic raise of the arm as he points right at you.]
Can't stand by and let ya' mess the place up, even if it's fixin' itself rather well.
I told you to stop.
[He's still screwed if he tries fighting, but he doesn't know that yet. Even if he did, it probably wouldn't stop him from trying.]
[Well not so much a hole getting blasted in her, see, her powers are more like blunt force trauma, so probably avoided having like... a statue thrown at her or something dkslafjdlsk
ANYWAY Aradia barely spares a glance for the girl she almost pulverized just now, continuing to rip stuff out of the ground and hurl it at the castle walls. That random tree, for instance. WHAM, there it goes.]
nudge takes cover behind a rose bush, falling into a defensive stance. what the heck is going on?? who is this robot chick?? why does she look vaguely familiar?? ]
Uh, yeah, or maybe you could stop destroying random things? That seems like a pretty good idea to me, what about you?
[Aradia, mostly oblivious to yet another pedestrian she almost ruinated, simply continues wrecking the fuck out of the lobby, making her way toward the ballroom. She yanks out a couple of pillar and uses them as a high-speed battering ram to force the tall doors open and/or knock them off their hinges.
[On the second try, the pillars bust through the doors, flinging one open while the other jams. She floats in, not yet paying Cole any mind. Why hello ballroom, that's a nice chandelier you've got there- she severs the chain with one thought and flings the nasty thing into a floor-to-ceiling mirror covering the nearby wall. Glass and crystal go everywhere.]

[And Cole just can't leave well enough alone! He gets back to his feet and starts running towards the... robot? He doesn't know, but...
He felt the need to stop her, somehow.]
