What kind of sick individual would pair two headstrong explosions together as teammates.

@TheWendil

Should’ve switched Ethereal Rose and Dynasty Queen around in the team placements. :)

As it turned out, after the initial attack, their elusive assailant didn't make any more moves, perhaps that first attack was simply a 'warning' for the warriors of light to not dare approach it any further, let it be. Yes, let it be so it could prepare its sinister plan of devouring countless innocent souls, there was no way in YHWH's good earth that Lumiere would let it do that, not while she still drew breath. Thus, up they went, encroaching even further into the sky that the Pageless claimed, intent on telling it that it never belonged here in the only language that the Pageless knew, purification.

By now, they were at an altitude where it could be safely deduced that the pair of ominous orbs were actually composed of many smaller specks, superficially like an insect's compound eyes. "Peculiar..." The seraph murmured, so the giant 'eyes' were fake, an attempt at mimicry just like a polyphemus moth which had a pair of eye-like pattern on its wings. Their enemy might not be as gigantic, nor terrible, as she thought. The twist revealed itself when it tried to strike Nessie once more, leaving claw marks on her broom.

...small claw marks, diminutive enough to scratch such a narrow surface.

"..." Lumiere stared at the hooded assailant with the same impassive stare that she had ever since she transformed back on the ground, even so, one of her four-winged barrier swiftly moved to intercept between the Pageless and Goodhope, the divine force field taking the claw strike in lieu of the Magical Sailor. The other sauntered near Lady of the Lake, achieving the same thing as shielded the Water Witch from the wolverine assault. All this time, Lumiere didn't attack, not a single golden beam, auric explosions, nor shining wing-scythes; all eight of her seraphic obelisks maintained their twin barrier formation.

Amongst darkened clouds pouring heavy rain and spewing flashes of lightning and roars of thunder, the angel enunciated with all the power that the Lord had given her.

"Girls... banish this creature back to the realm of shadows it crawled out from."

Symphony of Espers

--Where I Stand--

Ah Faen... but at the very least she already expected the bullets to not work judging by how a rocket-propelled grenade simply phased through the ghost, well now she regretted wasting so much of her mana to try murdering that fake nun, but there was no use crying over spilled milk. That wink though... Lenore did it too, must be something that Justin told his henchmen to do, huh?

That maneuver failed, Valkyrie opted to join what most of the espers here were doing, smashing the furniture so these poltergeist caspers would have nothing to possess and attack with, although the nature of her weapon - and lack of mana - made the endeavor quite difficult, a warhammer like Leroux's would be so much better suited in this situation. Still, doing something was better than nothing - looking at you, John "Silhouette" Cena - so Silmeria simply used her rifle as an improvised blunt instrument, smashing and smacking with its barrel and butt. The combined efforts of GEMINI, Mavericks, and Freelancers made short work of Justin's luxury furnishings, rendering the 'wall esper' essentially harmless. Then, the return of the B&B intimidated the ethereal asshat enough to turn tail and run. Good riddance, no more of that bullshit...

...which also meant no more mutual enemy for the opposing espers to focus upon. Valkyrie sighed with closed eyes as she felt the tension returning once more, the very same tension as when Binky talked Billy before the whole altercation began. Speaking of the Double Bs, only Billy returned and he looked worse for the wear, what happened to Binky? Did they get Justin? Oh, right, there she was, all bruised and battered. Well, both of them were still alive so... either mission accomplished or Justin somehow escaped really.

Whatever presumption the two groups decided to lean upon, it would be rendered obsolete as Doctor Veronica herself arrived, confirming that the oh-so-powerful vampire also pulled a Gunther, whimpering away with his tail between the legs. "Tch..." Goddammit, so despite what his extravagance would suggest, Dis-Count Dracula was more pragmatic than arrogant, huh? This certainly complicated things. Again, this just meant more missions to this grand operation of vampire hunting; Justin, Sofron, Lenore, Gunther, and whoever the fuck Betty was, Valkyrie's hunting list as far as this coven was concerned. Between them, Tony the Tiger, Viper, and the Mavericks, the sniper certainly had her work cut out for her.

Nonetheless, right here, right now, the immediate concern was these subhuman terrorists and their hired goons. She had half the mind to quip that Fritzi was wasting her time and energy trying to lecture the Freelancers, but decided against it for two important reasons: One was not wanting to jeopardize her employment more than she already did after the Tiger Tony backup fiasco, two was that there was a kid among the Freelancers here; if at least he could be convinced to stand down and peacefully leave, it'd be worth it. As for the Mavericks, well, what surprise was there? Both Billy and Justin were monsters leading other monsters and monster cock-sucking humans, only a simpleton would believe that Billy's main motive was altruistic; he wanted to have this whole place to himself, the big bastard.

After her little lecture, the purple-haired scientist-director proceeded to give the henchmen an ultimatum, one that was already generous considering the circumstances. So far, this resulted in the emo child and the faceless douchebag retreating, good for them, there was no reason for any more children to get hurt, even if this one was an esper.

For her part, Valkyrie gave a brief subtle begging look toward Protector, hoping the nursery teacher inside could see reason and just... return to her children, a night and day difference when she turned at Klava, though her expression remained outwardly neutral, her right index finger twitched once, hoping, craving for the Ice Bitch to stand with Billy, give her a legal reason to return the favor of that little dagger-to-neck stunt she pulled earlier. Frost Fucker didn't decide to finish the job, just as Lenore didn't, and that was a mistake she was going to pay dearly.

But for the moment, until each of the Freelancers made their decision, the sniper esper could only do one thing.

Thanks, guys! If you’d like a commission of your own, her website’s link is in my bio.

Disclaimer: And yes, I’m explicitly shilling her because of the combination of the quality of her art and the fact that she’s already my friend before she became a professional artist.

Grimoiric Heart

I like to think this art is a portrait of Lucette somewhere in the school.

@TheWendil

In her Lumiere form too, who needs anonymity amirite? Camelot eat your heart out.

Commissioned my artist friend to draw this~ The same person drew my avatar.

Asking for Help

@Izurich - I appreciate the kind words. They made me smile. A lot of those things I've struggled with myself, of course ... so the empathy is most welcome. <3

@Lyla

The feeling is mutual, when I've been feeling like an alien that possessed a human body among my peers, it always feels good to see that I'm not alone.

Should I have a slot cleared up in the future, I'll keep you in mind as potential partners, maybe we can work something out by then.

Asking for Help

@Lyla I'm full up on RPs at the moment, but I just want to respond to you as one autistic person to another; you are not alone, sister. I know how it feels to really struggle with metaphors, idioms, and all those things that non-autistic people just naturally 'get'. Three decades of life experience and I'm still clunky about it, the best I can do so far is having a mental list of sorts to recognize idioms and how to respond to it accordingly, but those are all a 'manual process' and not something I instinctively able to understand, as you may have felt yourself, it's mentally tiring to keep doing that, so I tend to be quite reclusive irl. Online, it's not so bad because there's more time to think about my responses (this is also the reason why I don't do voice chat).

Even with all these, I still fuck up often and unwittingly offend people, which always blindsides me when someone suddenly respond in anger or become upset, "What did I do...?? Wtf??" I feel that all too often.

I can't speak for your PTSD, Generalized Anxiety, and Persistent Depressive Disorder as I do not have them myself, but I do have minor symptoms relating to Compulsive Disorder such as always wanting certain things to be done a certain way and a strict adherence to routine, and I'll feel something's wrong if those routines aren't satisfied.

To summarize, stay strong and try to enjoy life as best as you can. I sincerely wish you'll find a partner that can appreciate you as who you are and you appreciate them as who they are.
