Whoa, what was this guy doing? Just grabbing onto her broom like that? Jeez, he could get hurt! Sure, Marisa had no problem beating people up, but some guy falling off her broom and getting some serious injuries was not exactly something she felt too good about. Holding her hat on her head, she looked back over her shoulder at him, the other hand holding firmly to her broom.

"Oi oi, you should really let go before I get too-"

Wait wait why wasn't the broom rising anymore.

Marisa found herself rapidly descending through the air. With a yelp, she swiftly grabbed onto her hat as she fell, wrapping her legs around the broom When she hit the ground, she skidded her knees and pitched forward, knocking her head on the concrete and thrusting her backside into the air in a rather awkward-looking position. Stars went off in her vision on the impact as a horrendous pain reverberated through her skull.

"Ow ow ow..." one hand still on her hat, Marisa raised her other hand to weakly hold her forehead, tears welling up in her eyes at the pain. "Wh-what the hell was that?!"

Othinus, meanwhile, would get a rather different experience. Objects of all sorts catapulted around the hat. Yen, strange, unfamiliar coins, a trumpet, a glowing necklace, a sheathed katana, several manga...

In fact, one particular manga, the cover adorned with two girls holding hands, collided directly with her, landing open, face-down, and directly on top of the tiny girl.

The stitched maid, whose name was Anette, cocked her head to the side at the assertion that it was stuff. But surely it was a cool night, the didn't have to turn on the 'make-the-air-chillier' thingy right? That was something that the girl had never fully understood, but it sure was useful sometimes during the summer! So it had to be something else...

"Well, she's adorable, right?!" she declared, her tone still bearing the utmost seriousness, "So naturally you must not have been able to take it... One time I was tending to her room when she was asleep, and it was so cute I tripped and knocked my head off!"

The stitches around her neck, somehow, would become even more visible. "And that doesn't normally happen, it's on here really tight... it's funny, I made a big mess even though I was supposed to be cleaning! But her Majesty didn't mind all the blood! She likes blood!"

Nothing in her voice seemed to indicate that Anette found any of this the least bit distressing. No, instead she found it more of a silly accident. She considered things for a moment, and then continued. "If it's really not her cuteness, though... can I get you anything?!"

Shirley, on the other hand, stared at the presentation blankly. She wasn't good with people what could she do...

"... U-um... her Majesty will... b-be out shortly? A-ah..." she grew more and more transparent as she spoke, clearly not prepared to deal with this. It was a wonder why she was the one who handled the gates.

The maids were not sure what to do. They all looked between one another, baffled. Things were happening so fast and so strangely that they had no idea what kind of reaction they should have. One of them, [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1509245]a maid sporting a pair of animal ears[/url], paused for a moment before approaching.

"... So... are you making a pizza?" she asked. It was a reasonable question, really.
