Watching the feeble little leech of a lifeform struggle desperately in her grasp only brought a cold, cruel smile to the doll's lips. She wasn't one to normally indulge in other's suffering, but... honestly, these things deserved it. They were sickening, unwelcome, and loathsome in every way. Just evil little monsters that had to be eliminated.
"It'll be over in a moment," Alice stated, whether to the Puppeteer or to Cynthia was unclear. With an almost casual attitude, Alice raised her arm, then slammed the Puppeteer into the ground with as much force as she could muster, her left foot enveloping itself in a shiny, nigh-indestructible substance as she did so.
Raising said foot, Alice shot the creature one more, loathsome glare, before slamming her diamond-encased limb onto the thing's head.
With the monster eliminated, Alice's foot returned to normal as she turned to look at the girl. She was probably much too young to be getting involved in this kind of thing, but... well, she was involved now.
The Doll took a few steps towards Cynthia, pausing suddenly. It occurred to Alice to drawing too near after such a scene was liable to freak her out even more, and that would just be irritating. Let's see, how to properly explain this in a calm, easy-to-understand manner...
"I'm a Doll, I came here to assist you," Alice spoke in an almost disinterested manner. She made no effort to hide old injury, "that thing wasn't human. If you want to survive future encounters with their kind, you'd best accept my help."
Totally fully explained.
A voice broke through Ada's dozing state, leaving her momentarily confused. Blinking her eyes open, she realised that she was still outside... someone was talking to her...
...And they had a knife pressed against her body.
Frozen with shock and fear, Ada's eyes darted towards the woman speaking, She was saying strange things, but... in the end, all she wanted was money, right? Jewelry, too... well, in her current situation, she could hardly refuse and call for help. Shaking her head would only lead to that knife getting far too intimate with her heart. All Ada could do was agree and hope for the best. Silently and shakily, Ada nodded her head, reaching for her purse.
And then someone appeared and threw the mugger away.
Dazed, confused and still quite scared, Ada watched blankly as a strange girl referring to someone (her?) as 'master'... then pulling out a ton of weapons out of nowhere and attacking the dangerous woman... it was quite overwhelming. Nothing made sense any more. Why didn't she go home when she really should have?
After the strange girl smiled at her, Ada crawled towards the discarded knife. Compared to... all the stuff that little girl was carrying, it wasn't going to even register as a threat, but hey, it gave her something to swing around and keep the two at bay. Why did these people have to target her?! What did they want? Why all the fighting?!
