Shiro waited a heartbeat and the Thug turned to pixels in his grasp, causing the pole to clatter to the ground. Shiro quickly whipped up from the ground and snatched the pole, ready to swing at the remaining hound near him- only to find that it was already vanishing in a cloud of ashes. A quick survey revealed another girl had arrived and by all indications taken care off the remaining monster things. The smallest girl was practically laying in a pile of her own vomit and being comforted by axe girl, sword-guy had dropped to the ground much like the animals would've if they hadn't turned to dust. Shiro quickly took a step towards sword-guy and awkwardly patted him on the back, [b]"Hey sword-guy, you're all right, I'm here for ya buddy."[/b] Shiro glanced up at the big gun girl again. She seemed to know what she was doing, which was different from the rest of them. [b]"Hey big gun girl."[/b] Obviously he couldn't refer to her as gun girl or he could be referring to the small gun girl as well, names really needed to go around. [b]"You seem to have an idea of what's going on around here. I'm Shiro, who are you and what's going on around here?"[/b] Shiro asked politely, but somewhat forcefully.
