Well then, operation box in and boil the frog is on!
What use were words in the face of light magical girls? Apparently none as Kaeru went on about the city being her home along with the city decaying under the rule of Shatterscape's comrades. Or rather, her friends. Those who welcomed her with open arms when there were none, those who hugged her without intending to hurt her in the first time of her life, those, who despite being "twisted" were more human than the servants of light ever could be. And yet, she had still tried to talk with them, to have them open their eyes to the truth. Even if it always ended up in misunderstanding. Even if it always ended up with one of her sisters interfering.

The beam of darkness bit into where Kaeru used to be, digging a malicious chasm into the rooftop. It all but radiated the darkness of Miseria and with it, the cease-fire shattered into a thousand pieces.

Kaeru went for Himea. Nonsuch went for Acid Drop. Shatterscape hesitated for a moment before she braced her legs, then jumped with a crack of metal against concrete. Trusting in the ability of her friends to protect themselves and wishing to be rid of these intruders so they may leave them alone as they very well should, she fell towards the frog girl as there were simply more of them there. Boxing her in would be the order of the day.

Landing a second or two after Kaeru, Shatterscape swept her massive gauntlets from the side, intent on coralling the light girl away from Himea so the latter would have more space for her chess plays. Then Shatterscape's metallic hands would clash against whatever defence Kaeru put up, the savage force of heavy steel smashing into her opponent with almost unstoppable momentum.

Apologies for the delay in postage; I will try to pull a Shatterscape today.

I both fear and anticipate the post that is going to come from this question.
I will go for a post tomorrow. @Emeth I am assuming that our characters have some sort of agreed-upon signal if Evil Eye needs the help of Shatterscape - it makes sense for Shatterscape to go after Kaeru instead and box her in under a pile of dark magical girls.

No, she does not mind paying for the dinner. Efficiency is more important.
Alas, poor Homura. She only wanted to make friends.

If only said prospective friends weren't nuts...
Before the two could begin to converse in earnest, or the new girl could heed the advice disguised as a threat, two more nuisances joined the fray and Shatterscape became the minority rather quickly. Even worse, they were familiar faces who knew some of her tricks along with that of her team-mates. This meant she had to weigh the loss of this Khir... that is, if she had wanted to attack in the first place. However, she merely closed her eyes and let out a sigh, then focused her gaze upon the two.

"Have we not handed you enough concessions already?" She opened her gauntlets wide, almost as though she wanted to encompass the city. "This is our sacred ground and the only reason you are permitted to touch its soil is because of our mercy. And yet despite such showing of goodwill, why do you bring another one of your kin amongst us? You know very well the price." She flashed a grin that did not reach her eyes, instead serving as a way to reveal her teeth.

"Indeed, the whole of your world is within your hands while this is the only sanctuary we claim as ours. And as it is, we are never remiss in its cleansing, its purification, its rituals and its groundskeeping. So why do you keep violating its hallowed nature? You would find a much warmer welcome elsewhere, in a place where your world shines brighter than ours." A breath. Shatterscape moved her fingers against each other, creating an unsettling noise of metal grinding on metal. A step forward followed, bringing her further into the light, not to mention closer to engagement range.

"But maybe I only repeat myself without reason. You have never heeded my mercy in the past... Will this new blood be enough for you to reconsider the offer?"

@ERode@FroggRFlowR@CamiCat
Well. Nyxia is going to be interesting to handle. She is such a precious ball of rage.

@FroggRFlowR I took your post to be addressed to Shatterscape, so I don't think you need to edit.

@Emeth Also I forgot to mention this, but I love the small detail of how our characters interpret the kiss differently. It is a cool little detail and highlights the difference between the two.

I will be posting later today.
Apparently I'm dumb and Homura was still on the roof, talking to herself like a weirdo so I've edited out Evil Eye's interaction with her.


She could still do the extremely creepy "I am going to stare right at you from a distance that would be normally impossible for me to notice you" thing. (Is there a shorter description of that? Sounds very elaborate for such a common trope.)

Hm, can probably imagine things getting real messy real fast, with the amount of characters that'll be together soon.


Time to traumatise Homura by "killing" Shatterscape... and then she just shows up in a brand new body!
@VillamviharEyo, it was my understanding that Nonsuch and Kaeru were a fair distance away from the chaos that's actually occurring at the big ol' Miseria Summoning Party, and the only reason Nonsuch spotted the Detention Club in the first place was because of Nyxia's rainbow vomit.

Like, in terms of proximity, I had figured it was...

Nonsuch and Kaeru (vibing on a rooftop) > Lycoris (hiding on a distant rooftop) > Detention Club (mostly on the ground)

Less of an issue if Shatterscape's stance is something like "muh territory is the entirety of Hibusa" though.


The way I read @Emeth's post is that Kiyu spread her familiars all over the city, sharing her sight with Shatterscape. I also read as though Lycoris approached the girls relatively closely. The way I imagined it is that she was within speaking distance or a block or two of the others. I can edit my post if needed, but I am going to bed in a couple of minutes so it will be in a few hours.
