[b]Wannabe Hero Ranca Blom[/b]

Well that didn't go how she thought it would.  Of course, she'd failed to factor in the sudden appearance of... Whoever those weirdoes were.  The cast of Labyrinth or something.  Only they seemed a lot more dangerous than a bunch of muppets... If crazy sword lady was so worried about them, then she probably should be too, and thus the hooded girl ran as fast as her legs could take her after the others.  After all, how could she become a hero if she was killed so soon?

She wasn't sure how long they ran for, but when they finally came to a halt Ranca doubled other, breathing heavily in exhaustion.  On the plus side, crazy sword lady seemed less crazy now, so maybe the time for introductions was [i]finally[/i] here.  Well, if she wasn't so tired at least... Slumping to the ground, she found herself taking a seat beside... Well, her name was Charlotte apparently, so she needed to stop calling her "crazy sword lady" in her head now.

"Haahn... N-nice... Nice to m-meet you, Char..." she gasped between breaths, trying not to think too much about the piles of ashes around them.  Still, she gave them a cursory look, before grabbing a dagger and a pouch of what she hoped was the local currency from beside the nearest pile.  Whoever they belonged to [i]probably[/i] wasn't going to get much use out of them now, so it wasn't really stealing right?

"And, um... N-nice to m-meet you t-t-too, um... Taka?" At least she thought she'd heard the ponytailed woman call herself Takahashi something-or-other.  Feebly, she gave her a wave, still trying to catch her breath. "S-s-so, uh, anyone... Anyone have any idea wh-what that was?"
