Mei hit the ground with a thud, freed from the force that held her in place. She scrambled to her feet, limping over to the point at which Ivy and the others had left. She started looking around for any evidence of....something. Damn. Her head was killing her. Mei knelt down, holding her head and closing her eyes.

After a few moments of righting herself, she remembered there were others, and an injured one at that. Getting back to her feet, Mei limped towards her, falling to her knees. Closing her eyes, she tried to concentrate on her vitals. Good. She was alive. Probably in better shape than the other girl...wherever the hell she was taken. Placing her hands over this girl, Mei concentrated as best she could on reviving her. She couldn't fully heal her wounds, and she'd be in some pain when she awoke, but at least she'd be awake. She could even offer an explanation on what kind of nightmare Mei just walked into.

Mei took a few steps back, allowing the fight to commence. Ivy looked tough. She felt a since of relief after the first attack, but that relief turned into stone cold horror as she watch Ivy get impaled. The repeated stabbing was enough to shake Mei from her intiial stupor into blind fury. She started quick stepping towards the two, sending fireball after fireball careening towards the feline bitch. "YOU. Back. The fuck. OFF!!!" Screaming the last line, both hands flew up, casting a pillar of flame right between the attacker and Ivy's bloody form. Mei separated her hands, the pillar forming a several foot tall wall. "Someone! Grab the girl! Now!" She continued stepping forward, all concentration on keeping the wall of fire alive.

Mei, watching Ivy, halted her descent the same way. Unsure if she could be any help to Aphrodite, and furious with the feline, her hands and eyes were alight with fire, as she followed behind Ivy. The anger and searing blood coursing through her veins kept the fear of what this woman could do to her away, as well as gave her faith that Ivy was a more than competent partner. This is it, she thought. All that practicing and mumbling and testing. Let's just hope it works. "What she said."

Mei watched carefully. She had no idea of the skill of any of these girls, nor the cat lady. She stood beside them now, watching the one she knew was Aphrodite step forward. She looked to the other girls, wondering if they knew how to react to this illusion plan. She kept her hands ready to fight, however, if things got ugly.

Immediately, Mei let her hands cool, her stomach knotting up. Worst alley to go down. Ever. She crept slowly up to the rest of the girls, hand open at her sides, ready to strike. She assumed the others had been in a situation like this before
That, or they just had awful luck with women that looked like animals.

Jade? Which one was that? And who was the catlike woman? And those others? This...was a bad alley to wander down. Mei took a few steps, placing her back to the ice wall that blocked her entry point. She tried to think audibly back to the others. Hey...I'll find us a way to slip out, kay? With that, she placed both of her palms against the smooth ice, her hands beginning to heat like the coils of a stove, not wanting to produce flame, to avoid suspicion at first. The other girls seemed to be keeping the woman's attention on them, and Mei wanted to keep it that way. The incredibly quiet, audible hiss of the ice steaming away was the only comfort she had in this otherwise uncomfortable situation.

Mei wasn't quite sure what to say, from the rude response to the...odd one....going on like she was Batman. Instead of responding to any of them, she simply lowered her arm, and let herself ask the question that was on her mind. "How...how were you flying? With those ice discs. You're students at the Academy, I'm sure of it. They've never taught us that."

Damn. Mei expected black mages, but not psychics. She could always run, act like she was never there. No, she was far too curious this time. Holding her right hand out in front of her, ready to cast if need be, she slowly stepped into view of the other women. As it turned out, they looked to be around Mei's age. Even still, she didn't let her guard down. "What are you doing down here?"

Mei was able to determine that they were fairly close, maybe a couple blocks away. It was a matter of figuring out where on that block, however. After some snooping around, she eventually determined it had to be an alleyway three blocks down. Her suspicions were confirmed when she could hear to speaking....three girls? And what was the whimpering? She kept flush against the wall outside the mouth of the alley, trying to eavesdrop.

The bookstore here didn't have the best of selection. It was tiny, smelled of dust, and maybe a half dozen shelves had anything recent. Even still, she managed to find a few interesting books in the fantasy section, near the storefront window.

After replacing a book, one of Jim Butcher's Dresden novels, she took a moment to look outside. The sky was reasonably clear. There were few clouds, the sun painted in oranges and yellows from the oncoming sunset, a couple people were flying around on discs of ice....

Huh? Mei rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things. She went to a school full of magically skilled people, sure, but she had never seen black magic used so....oddly. Leaving the store without a purchase, she started making her way through the streets, trying to figure out where the individuals had landed.
