The more of the scene Ciri took in, the less sense anything made. From the pile of[i] actual fucking corpses[/i] by the diner's door to the wannabe princess that seemed to have been [i]sleeping [/i]throughout[i] whatever the fuck [/i]had went on, to... her blood-soaked and obnoxiously loud bodyguard slash boyfriend. Who, by the way, looked like he was ready to come at [i]her [/i]any minute now. 

For his own sake, he'd better fucking [i]not[/i]. Ciri was not in the mood. And neither was [i]It[/i], it seemed; the monster circled between Ciri and the knight, just in case the latter turned out to be as insane as he seemed. 

Meanwhile, the... Magical Dream Princess, who couldn't have come up with a lamer name if she'd tried, had stood up and started to skip off. Ciri nudged her head after the girl. [color=#7e4393]"Eyes on the price, Tinface. Looks like Magical Whatever's about to dump your rusty ass."[/color]

It was then, as Ciri followed the girl's insane frolicking into the building, that Ciri realized it wasn't just some old-ass drinking hole. It was Dante's place, a famous monster hangout. And there were people inside. People who sure as shit didn't look like civilians, let alone monsters. Ciri's eyes narrowed at their getups, at the insignia on one of their uniforms, at the blood and ash stains. Seeing The Knight of Shooting People in the Face in the flesh was the final confirmation she needed. These were GEMINI bitches.

The anger Ciri had felt towards... well, practically everyone she'd met today already found its next target. What the fuck was [i]GEMINI[/i] doing here? No, actually, scrap that question. She already knew; the psychos were here on a murder mission, and judging by the destruction, it looked like it'd been a resounding success.

[b]”Boteg you old dog!” [/b]

The Maverick's gaze snapped towards what appeared to be a human dude in a cowboy getup, sitting in one of the corners of the smoldering diner. He was accompanied by a tree-animal chick and some weirdo in a robe. Great, her quarry had friends. How cute. Didn't change the fact that she was here to recruit him, and she would do it by force if she had to. Today had taught her time and again that diplomacy did [i]not [/i]fucking pay off.

And yet, as she was about to snap a Restrain melody around the dragonman, she couldn't help but trail his gaze inside the diner, to a really weird and awkward scene. A crying teenage girl was holding onto what... looked like a partially broken man made of glass, crying as she tried to get away from a blue-haired Esper. Considering what she was holding onto, she must've at least been pro-monster, if not one herself. Which meant she shouldn't have been anywhere [i]near [/i]the bitch in blue, probably.

Ugh, why were there so many distractions today?!

[color=#7e4393][i]"Is the bitch bothering you?"[/i][/color] was what Amanda would hear in her head, seemingly out of nowhere. Figuring she might freak out (as some were wont to do when they started to suddenly hear voices, go figure), Ciri went on.[color=#7e4393][i] "Chill, by the way. I'm on your side. Or at least, not on the side of those murderous assholes. Need a ticket out? I'm just outside. With your friend. The Dumpster Lizard."[/i][/color]

Even as she said that, though, Ciri was already taking steps backwards into the shadow of her partner and the alley they'd emerged from. Hopefully, if the teenage girl did glance outside, she'd catch a glimpse of her before the others did, and before she disappeared from sight. She didn't exactly want to keep standing around in plain view in case she had to bail the girl out [i]and [/i]capture her friend [i]and [/i]all his other friends [i]and [/i]potentially blow off some GEMINI heads [i]and [/i]brutalize the simp knight. 

All in a day's work.[/color]
