[color=#7e4393]"Guess you were right!"[/color] Ciri shouted triumphantly over Regina's howl, her own pained face twisting into a grin underneath the flames. Being on fire actually hurt marginally [i]less [/i]this time, be it because she was jacked up on adrenaline or because she knew her enemy was hurting [i]more[/i] for fucking once.[color=#7e4393] "[i]Hitting [/i]definitely isn't your style, so how 'bout you give the [i]running [/i]part a go?!"[/color]

Though she was talking smack, Ciri's heart felt like it was actively trying to beat our her chest — since, much as her melody had done, she was painfully aware that the fire bitch wasn't quite [i]dead [/i]yet. And she wasn't sure if her little intangibility trick would work twice in a row.

She took a hasty step backwards to avoid Regina's desperate swing, only [i]then [/i]realizing that her foot wasn't sinking into mass of sinewy shit anymore. Come to think of it, the train's pitiful wailing was gone too — or maybe she'd just gone fucking deaf from the screaming. So did that mean their job was... done? They'd come here to help, and if Crazy Train was healed, presumably by the aura of the other Train that passed them earlier, then wasn't—

Once again, she was denied the chance to [i]think[/i], as[i] It[/i] materialized to shove her adversary down once more, only to have to avoid a slash from one of the nuns. Ciri's eyes flew wide, relief she refused to show seeping into her voice. [color=#7e4393]"Was about damn time! Where the fuck were [i]you?!"[/i] [/color]

Then the party really started. It and the nun weren't the only guests to show up; in an instant, a dude who looked strikingly like Regina — some sort of siscon freak, probably — descended upon her. Ciri had little time but to swing her arm out to try and guide her partner to intercept it, when someone else did so for her. Someone unexpected.

Ciri fell unceremoniously on her ass, both literally and figuratively.

[color=#7e4393]"Blue?!"[/color] she gasped, not having expected hired help to put herself in between her and a giant incoming shield so willingly.

[color=00aeef]"Can you please do something about that stupid smoke instead!?" [/color]
 
... Oi! Just 'cause she saved her didn't mean she could start [i]barking orders[/i] at her!

[color=#7e4393]"Man, would you give me a [i]sec?![/i] Been a little preoccupied here!"[/color] Ciri snapped out of reflex, gesturing towards Regina just as the other Esper's eyes seemed to land on her as well.
 
Apparently, Blue knew the dude too, trying to talk some sense into him while she tried to parry his shield with a goddamn kitchen knife. A big kitchen knife, but still. The nuns were still around too, and Ciri was still not a close quarter combatant. At least It was here, but—

It was a little desperate, and needed her to trust two monsters she really didn't know she could, but it was worth a try. She really couldn't do anything [i]but [/i]try.

[i][color=#7e4393]"Boteg!"[/color][/i] She shouted telepathically, desperate to reach him. She wasn't sure where he was exactly, but he was supposed to be nearby - no, she knew he was. And she hoped that was enough for her words to reach him.[i] [color=#7e4393]"You're goddamn dragon, start acting like it! If this shit works, we'll be, uh, free-falling in a sec, so you'd better catch us. I'll buy you all the melty gold you want!"[/color][/i]

She did the telepathic equivalent of hanging up on him before he could reply, if he had even heard her — then glanced down at the train underneath her. [i][color=#7e4393]"Hey, Train. Just Train, cause calling you Crazy is a little tactless, huh? Look, us Maverick, we came here to help you, and it looks like apart from this fire ant infestation, you're all good now. So... wanna help me get us all off your back? Right now? All you gotta do is not fight what I'm about to do, a'ight?"[/color][/i]

Ciri pushed herself on all fours, pressing both of her palms into the train's back, and tried.
