Sorry guys! I am and have been pretty sick and lost track of the days, but I tried to whip that post out real quick. Hopefully it made sense haha

Looking up at The Jersey Devil as he sprang and was now poised atop the chandelier, Talia continued her dancing and swaying and twisting and flurry of movement with the ribbons. She didn't even realize at first that the brute was definitely distracted by it all... that her plan was actually working and saving Manny and Link from becoming targets! She heard Bob call out to her from his position and realized what he wanted... It definitely would be an easy task to continue luring the big brute over to that part of the dance floor while keeping herself out of arm's reach. She did exactly as Bob had commanded and then tried her best to get out of the way of whatever fell, but she didn't know if that would be enough or not...

Yeah sadly, doesn't look like Leo will be back. :( And that sounds good to me too! There's definitely still no rush on you having to post, but just wasn't sure if that was your decision or because you were waiting on someone so that's why I asked. haha
Thanks!

Sorry that I couldn't respond until recently! There was a lot going on these past days, including my parents coming for a visit when I hadn't seen them in over a year, so it just kind of stalled me for a while. Haha

Also, is there any way we can keep this going a little more frequently than every 10 days? I am finding myself losing track of it when it's this long in between posts... If you chose 10 days for a reason on your side, that is of course totally fine, but if it's for the remaining two of us... I wanted to see what you and Entropy think about making it more often.

Thanks!

Disoriented and dazed by the deafening noise and the sudden appearance of their other teammate badly injured and now unconscious on the ground, Talia blinked in shock a few times before shaking her head to clear it and jump into action. She readied her ribbons and was able to wrap one of them around Manny's leg and pull him safely out of the way of the over-dusted supe over to where she was...

What else could she do though? She had no idea how they were going to take this thing down... She just knew she needed to get Manny away from it and give The Jersey Devil a chance to get to his feet and recover from his own hard landing. Looking around frantically, desperately, she didn't see any way out of this without trying to fully end this brute's life... but how? She thought of her performance abilities and realized something: perhaps she could be a similar distraction to this brute as she had been to those bullies in the back...

She readied herself once more, after yanking Manny some distance away... and prepared herself to reveal a full distraction.

"No!" Talia's cry was basically silenced at the sound of the crash as she watched the Jersey Devil be thrown into the bar and be showered with the debris that followed... She had to stay focused. Link's and now Bob's lives depended on it...

Hoping that she could assist in some way by giving Bob time to get back up, she leaped to the other side of the room, away from the bar to draw the thing away, and swished out one of her whip-like ribbons straight at the brute's face but specifically his eyes. If she could blind him with those razor edges at the ends of her ribbons, surely even a majorly doped up thing like this would feel the effects of razors in his eyeballs and hopeful blindness... She used the other ribbon to give a sharp tug wrapped around the hand closest to her location and direct him her way... She remained a good distance away after her ribbons did their job, letting her leap continue to carry her till she made it safely to the ground away from the bar.

Okie doke, thanks for letting us know! Enjoying :D

Same here! I kind of think it's been good the way you keep it going. :) So, right now your latest post was 3 days ago so that means when that says 10 days ago, you'll post again? Or did I misunderstand? haha

Peeking over the edge cautiously, bracing as the back wall behind her exploded in shards of glass that rained down on her, Talia could see that her position was vulnerable now and that the overdosed guy was going to soon corner both her and Link. Turning to her partner, she tried (probably in vain) to snap him out of it but then realized she wasn't going to be able to help him and her at the same time. He was too big for her to try to carry out or use the ribbons to assist her... It was the last thing she wanted to do, but she was torn between thinking of leaving him behind and trying to protect herself by leaving, which would also likely cause the thing to turn away from Link and chase her.

Just as she was pondering her next move, she saw a blur of movement from the balcony above leap down onto the giant thing... "The Jersey Devil..." she breathed, while in some level of awe at the hero's movement speed and boldness, but then she realized he might still need her assistance in some way. With that final thought in mind, she launched herself away from the bar and to the other side of the room, landing with a graceful roll as she simultaneously sent out her ribbons to lash around one of the overdosed guy's massive legs... She was aiming to trip him at the very least but if she could slice with her razor tips at the end in some way, that was also the goal. She would be a partner and teammate that helped out her others the best she could, no matter what the danger was to her.

Talia scarcely heard the gunfire from the other attempted bullet shots as they zoomed around her but could not seem to touch her. The glass rained down around her, also not able to actually touch her, as she continued her airborne acrobatics, hoping that Link would have the chance to grab the gun.

A sudden roar down below caused her to direct full awareness back down to the dance floor as she saw and heard that someone had clearly overdosed on the Diamond Dust... She hurriedly attempted to tell the others over the earpiece... "Guys! A thug overdosed out here... He's huge and strong, be careful!" before she had to leap for cover as he aimed the body of one of his own at her.

She figured her best bet was to at least join Link's position so that neither of them was alone for this, so she slid her hands up her ribbons (both had already looped around a piece of the chandelier) and she drew them to her once more then aimed her trajectory to land her lithely atop the bar counter and then somersaulted gracefully to be behind the bar, close but not too close to Link. She did not want to fully startle a man that was fighting for his life. The second she had the breath to speak, she would calmly tell him it was just her, if he appeared alarmed and startled.
