[ There are a few slight moments of silence - perhaps, if you listen closely enough, you can hear some slight sounds of nature from the forest's edge in the background - before a girl speaks up with a quite deadpan (and calm, considering the situation) tone. ]

Am I being reduced to this again this soon already? I really must be popular with all of you witches. So, which one of you do I have the honor of dealing with this time? Bernkastel again, or even that Featherine witch? ... Either way, you can come out and start laughing now. If you're looking for your cue, this is it.

[ She pauses for a moment, as if she actually does expect someone to pop up. But when it doesn't happen, she just continues talking. ]

It's pretty inconsiderate to let someone waiting after dragging them in, you know. Although I guess I should expect as much from the lot of you.

And what's up with these wings? 'Sure, let's give her pink wings this time just to see the look on her face, ahahaha' or whatever, right? I'm not laughing, but surely you predicted as much.

... Any normal person would start to think I'm going insane by now, like I'm talking to myself. Ah.. it's useless, it's all useless. Does anyone who's not me feel like speaking up already?

That's even better. If you ask me, just downright fighting them is preferred over going to beg them. So I don't mind that sort of idea at all.

I think... it's better if we can return home without fighting. However, we can't just leave this place in a state where other people could be brought here next, or where we could be brought back.

[repudiate]

It's not as if they'll all decide to let us go someday because we've been behaving so well or whatever. And since getting out of this place will require some sort of action, I'd rather have it be fighting than some pathethic last resort.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I also believe the Malnosso are our enemy. But, I don't want to think about fighting first.

[repudiate]

It's not like I'm jumping up at a chance to fight.. But if it's necessary to reach my goals, I'll do it without hesitation.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Mm. It's the same for me. If we have to, I definitely won't hold back.

[repudiate]

That's good to know. If we do end up fighting against them, after all, I bet it wouldn't be a very easy fight. I don't know what sort of powers they have, but if they were able to pull all of us into here it probably won't be something we can just laugh off..

So the more people we have to fight, the better.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I think so, too. It's best to work together here, in these situations.

[repudiate]

Normally I'm not really a fan of that sort of thing, but even I realise it's necessary in this place. Nobody could take the Malnosso on alone.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you want to try to work together.

[repudiate]

I'm not stupid enough to think I could just make it on my own. That's just it.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

There are people who won't go that far.

[repudiate]

I guess you'll always have that sort of people as well, no matter the situation. Makes me wonder if they just lack common sense.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I think they're just used to being alone.

[repudiate]

[ So is Ange. But she doesn't say that. ]

That's still no excuse. Sometimes you have to give up your usual habits when confronted with things like these.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But they might need time before they can change.

[repudiate]

They don't even have to chance their habits permanently or whatever. If they can just cooperate for a moment, long enough to fight those things, then it's okay.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

That much should be possible, shouldn't it? [Even if the senshi hadn't been able to come together as she hoped, back in the beginning, they'd been able to work together when they had the same goals.]
