9th COMP [video//action]

[bel_donna]

[The blue-haired young women known as Tsukasa had been absent from the garden for nearly a week, sent back home to deal with a problem that would decide the fate of the entire human race. Ultimately, she had chosen to send the demons plaguing Tokyo whence they came and give humanity a second chance to prove it's collective worth. Then, for several

action; mistletoe~

[super_critical]

[Bakura happens to be in the area for the broadcast, so she doubles her steps back to meet up with Tsukasa again. One hand in her pocket, she gives a half-sarcastic salute in greeting.]

Yo, demon queen! "Saved the world", huh?

[Being uninterested in plant symbolism - or at least, modern versions - she has no idea there might be anything amiss with an abundance of mistletoe this time of year.]

Re: action; mistletoe~

[bel_donna]

[Tsukasa waves back at Bakura.]

Hey! You got it, I sent all the demons back to where they came from.

[super_critical]

[Raising an eyebrow, she finishes strolling on over, even swaggering a bit. Apparently just walking wouldn't suffice.]

Ohh~? Interesting choice once you've conquered them all. Couldn't think of anything else to do with them?

[From the lilt in her voice, she's pretty clearly teasing with that last part.]

Re: action

[bel_donna]

I just wanted things to get back to normal. Besides, I don't think I could handle actually having to be queen of something.

action

[super_critical]

[She sighs.]

Tch, no ambition at all....

But noble, girl! Very noble of you.

Good to know your limits, too. Pride can be a dangerous thing.

Re: action

[bel_donna]

Well, I can only imagine the problems I'd cause everyone if I lost my way. I do have the soul of the most powerful demon who ever lived sleeping within me, after all.

action

[super_critical]

Do you, now.

[She's almost tempted to say "In your world, anyway." Instead she just grins, sizing Tsukasa up.]

And you're a strict little landlady. You should let that out sometime, to pay its rent. Better than it learning how to rebel.

Re: action

[bel_donna]

If the time comes I need to defend my friends again and that my full power is needed, then I imagine it's possible. But, I'd rather avoid that happening.

action

[super_critical]

[Always with defending their friends. She has experience with people like you. And in losing to them. But they can also be very useful acquaintances.]

Wouldn't everyone?

That'll come in handy, though! Isn't this place supposed to be dangerous? That Queen not necessarily treating her subjects right....?

[She says, as she walks past some mistletoe, intruding on your personal space juuust a bit.]

Re: action

[bel_donna]

[Tsukasa tries to take a step back away from Bakura. But finds her retreat blocked by an invisible barrier.]

That's true... But nothing she has done so far would have called for that much power.

action

[super_critical]

[She doesn't want to get too close. But it's interesting you're not backing away.]

That's a relief...though if it's not that bad, why's everyone put up with it? A few more talented souls like you and this place could become a democracy.

Re: action

[bel_donna]

[Still a bit confused as to why she can't leave the area, Tsukasa does her best to explain herself.]

I think some people like it here, other then that no one knows where the queen is or even what she is. We can't really do anything if we're in the dark all the time.

action

[super_critical]

[Which potentially indicates if you knew more, you might act....?

Don't mind her. She's just fomenting rebellion. But there's time. She'll take it slow.]

True, true. And things aren't so dire. Just - curiosity, is all.

[Why aren't you backing up? This is weird. She doesn't quite frown, but she does step back a pace.]

Something wrong?

Re: action

[bel_donna]

Um, I think something is holding me in this area. Like an invisible barrier.

action

[super_critical]

Barrier?

[Sidestepping around Tsukasa, she frowns. Her Ring didn't react....It begins to glow, faintly, as she tries to push against whatever might be out there.

But aside from that, the only change seems to be her frown getting deeper.]

Tch. It's stubborn. And everywhere.

Re: action

[bel_donna]

I imagine this is the Queen's doing... I guess we should find a way out of this.

[She thinks for a second.]

Um, have you seen anything strange around here?
