Sheesh, Mayfield, always ruining my plans. First they screw up my date with Ken, and now all this chaos is getting in the way of my recruitment efforts! Can't I have a break for once

Don't be stupid. You can't beat them.

[sting_like_a]

Maybe not, but I have to try.

[diaf_askeladd]

Why?

[sting_like_a]

I need to protect my family!

[lady_general]

Stay safe, Miakis.

[sting_like_a]

Mm, you too. You holding up all right?

[lady_general]

Naturally. Dias is keeping an eye on me, presumably so I don't run out and start causing trouble. [small, strained laugh.] I'm not quite so foolish as to do that. We'll be alright. But if you need anything from me, anything at all, I will be there as quickly as possible.

[sting_like_a]

I'll keep that in mind! I think we'll be all right, though, as long as everyone stays put. Whether or not that actually happens, though... we'll see~

[Ken is of course going to bring her out some tea]

What's with the glowy thingy?

[sting_like_a]

I told you to stay inside... [She accepts the tea, though. :|a]

Ah, this? Just some magic. It'll make me stronger for a little while~

[weiss_tank]

Oh come on Miakis, I can't stay inside all the time. I have to go to work and shit like that.

And what do you mean for a little while? It's got a time limit?

[sting_like_a]

You can call in sick or something, can't you? It's dangerous out here!

And yeah, that's one way of putting it. It can't last forever, you know?

[The men in the hazmat suits do not fail to arrive. They advance, wielding what appear to be flamethrowers.]

[sting_like_a]

[OH SHI--

Miakis slips into her battle stance and glares at the men approaching her house. The flamethrowers look vaguely familiar, but it doesn't quite register in her mind just what they are, yet.]

Look, guys, I don't want to fight. Just turn around and go away, and no one will get hurt, okay~?

[mayfield_mods]

[There is no response.

The men in the suits continue to advance.]

[sting_like_a]

Hey, I'm talking to you! Don't be rude!

[She does not step toward them, and stands her ground, spreading her arms out in front of her.]

I'm not letting you inside this house. Go away.

[rainbowbrush]

What? No way! That's boring!

...I can help too!

[sting_like_a]

Sorry, Sketch... not today. Everyone's saying it's better not to fight them, and I think they might be right. I'm just gonna keep them from getting in the house, so don't worry~

[rainbowbrush]

Yeah? And how are you gonna do that?

[sting_like_a]

I'm gonna kick their butts if they try to come inside~ [Read: provide a distraction long enough for everyone else to run away. :|b]
