Kirisame Marisa, Client World 12262009-A(Macross)
"You're like Rei-chan, aren't you?" Marisa said with a grin when she heard Kakine mention being strapped for funds. Hakurei Reimu was always pretty down on her luck as far as money went. Luckily, Marisa had a solution to this issue, and it wasn't as if she was going to use this money for anything else. This was a chance to get to know these people! And pickpocket them if they had anything useful but that was something they didn't need to know. Besides, she was hungry too. Giving the crowd one last cheerful wave to the crowd, she began to slowly walk away, turning to face the boy and the girl as she walked backwards. "Now, what's all this about an original or something? I dunno what you mean by all that."
As she spoke, she pulled off her hat and produced a small pouch, which she opened to reveal, well... she was pretty sure it was this world's currency. The Perfectly Ordinary Witch wasn't completely sure, but she'd gotten it out of that guy's pocket while he was distracted. Not
all of it, that'd be a bit too far, but if it was money she was sure it'd cover a meal for her and these two. She glanced towards Misaka. "You've got an older sister? And what's this whole 'Academy City' thing?"
Saber - Restaurant District, Yggdrasil
Contacting medical and correctional officers was quick enough. With the lockdown lifted, they would soon appear and begin carting out the injured and unconscious soldiers. The dead bodies would be taken as well, moved to Yggdrasil's morgue. Their equipment would be analyzed so that it could be traced to discover who may have been supplying Shadow Eternity. She soon after realized that the animal... boy? was quite close, and stepped away from him. At least, before the apparently-unharmed huge man told him to move away. That was... strange. But now Gintoki was addressing her with one of the unconscious soldiers.
"Leave him somewhere flat and stable," she replied, "The officers will be here soon."
As if on cue, an officer did appear.
A small girl, with short brown hair, a beret, a staff, and an elaborate outfit, she was accompanied by a small, floating, furry, horned creature. She took a deep breath before transporting the unconscious soldier onto a floating stretcher. Soon, more officers appeared. One in particular, a hulking tanned man, was easily picking up knocked-out men in each hand and placing them on stretchers. The dead were carefully removed in a similar fashion by a different set of officers.
When Kuzaku approached, Saber turned to face him. He seemed concerned about being injured. Of course, this needed to be quickly addressed, and given the UMMA's excellent medical facilities it was likely this would be a minor issue to resolve. "Yes, her name is Aura Bright. She works on one of the higher floors."
While all this was going on, a head slowly rose from behind the restaurant's counter. "... H... h-hello...?"
It was the girl from before, who had evidently simply ducked behind the counter when the restaurant was attacked.
Giovanna's Room, Shadow Eternity Headquarters
Moments after Senbonzakura and Kiba entered the room, so too followed the pink-haired, gauntlet-wielding form of Ayako, and the green-haired Mai. Ayako looked furious, while Mai didn't seem to be saying anything.
"Did you give the retreat order!?" Ayako snapped, pointing at Giovanna, "It wasn't the leader. No-one on the ship will take responsibility. So it must have been someone else here! She could have been on that ship!"
Mai looked up for a moment, before opening her mouth. "Ayako... the ship was crippled, we would've gotten trapped there. We wouldn't have been able to save her like that."
Ayako flashed a look at the other girl, and paused for a moment, unsure of what to say. "I... I... we still could have saved her! Who gave the order?!"
