Menolly's not one to sit still and wait, and the words she'd heard the day before had spurred her into action. Dressed in her heavy leathers and armed with multiple knives, she slipped into the streets near Oh Aces, wanting to see if anyone needed her help getting into the safety of the protected building.
No matter how many, she happened to be bored again, and on the hunt. Upon seeing Menolly down the streets she smirked, remembering her vaguely.]
...Hey! Dragon girl, right? [She waved cheerfully from where she stood, right across the street from the other girl.] Looks like you're in a hurry!

Easy gets boring. I'm SICK of having it too easy!!
[Whip set aside, Umi feels a prey like this one calls for something more top-notch than any of the other pathetic ones did so far. So she calls on her water magic to send a dragon-shaped water blast out to her.]

...Boy, you DID put up a good fight! That's the most fun I've had all week! You sure deserve a reward for that. My special treat.
[Normally that much use of her water powers would have exhausted Umi by now. But this demon form is more resilient than her human one, almost tireless.
Menolly may feel the ice around her grow gradually colder and colder.]

And yet, even though I'm stuck here, Oh Aces still stands safe and whole, ready for the masses.

[Umi looks up from where she's basking in Menolly's struggles to give the building a once-over. Yes, the repellent feeling is still there alright.]
So what's the trick? Why do I feel like I can't make it inside?

You can't. Not if you mean to cause any violence.

YOU! [Pointing a finger at her victim, hand on her hip. She's even bossier as a demon than as a regular girl.] Undo this sneaky spell right now!

No. It's not my spell and I can't break it.

[The smirk infuriates the hell out of her, rather literally. Her blue aura blazes around her with the anger that gives Umi the most of her power.]
Don't make me MAKE YOU...

[The show of power makes Menolly nervous, but she does her best to hide it. Harper training does wonders for such things, after all.]

[Wrath is her element and Umi's temper is here to prove it. Her aura grows blinding, damp and deadly cold, her hair nothing but a mass of watery streams rolled back to reveal her little white horns. She glares at Menolly in sheer frustration.]
This is all your fault! We'll tear this place to the ground if we have to!

[Once again, the cold makes Menolly's breathing falter as it grows painful once more. Still, the only sign she shows is gritted teeth and that nasty glare that even makes her vampire boyfriend pause.]
You will not be able to destroy that building.

[Or more like the handiest target to vent her anger at, but ask Umi if she's about to admit that. Clenching a hand into a fist, she wills the ice around Menolly's wrists to grow tighter.]
And don't you tell me what we can't do, you puny little sheep!! We'll crush the whole city and set your precious Oh Whatever ON FIRE!

[She's just rubbing salt in the wounds now, egging Umi on, even if she knows deep down that it's not a good idea. Just as she opens her mouth to taunt her a little more, her wrists groan, the bones shifting just under the skin, and Menolly's words are cut off by a sharp groan of pain.]

[Spoken like a true Tormentor. This isn't Umi's field of expertise: she's a reaper and a soldier. But every demon, even young as she is, knows their way to inflicting pain.]
Enjoying that?? You look like you're breaking a sweat. Let me get you a bit cooler...
[There's when the icy chill around the bindings keeping Menolly tied becomes unbearable.]
