Mia, we need to talk

[KonokoHasano]

"Awww, isn't sisterly bonding such a great and lovely thing~?" Konoko said, hanging upside-down from a tree branch by her legs. "Err... hope you guys don't mind me interrupting. I was relaxing in the tree when I saw you guys, and I couldn't help but hear."

[A Stranger]

From beneath the bench Blaze had been sitting, comes the mechanical tinkle of lullaby. If any were to look down under the bench, the music seemed to be coming from a small box with mirrored surfaces, that had a delicate silver latch on the front shaped like a bow!

[Miku-chan]

Mia was about to reply to Konoko when her most excellent hearing quickly zeros in on the sound as her body stiffens in anticipation of attack..."...Blaze, Konoko, did you hear that?"

[KonokoHasano]

Mia was about to reply to Konoko when her most excellent hearing quickly zeros in on the sound as her body stiffens in anticipation of attack..."...Blaze, Konoko, did you hear that?"

"I believe it's coming from under the bench." Konoko said, pointing.

[Blaze]

Blaze already has a gun in her hands.

"Yeah, I hear it..."

[A Stranger]

The innocent tune continued to play without interruption, but each time it was repeated, it sounded a little faster than before!

[KonokoHasano]

Konoko hmms and holds her hand out, firing an energy blast towards the box under the bench.

[Blaze]

Blaze turns her gun downwards and fires it through the bench at the source of the noise.

[Miku-chan]

Mia looks down at the object and tries to grab Blaze and Konoko just as they fire..."Crapcrapcrapxrap and crap...it's got a reflective surface you guys..." she yells

[Blaze]

Blaze stops just in time, her finger stopping just short of when the trigger would be fully pulled.

"... how do you know?"

[A Stranger]

Blaze may have managed to halt her fire, but Konoko's bolt strikes the box, flipping it over as it was blown apart in a shower of cogs and springs, the music coming to an abrupt end. The sound more than likely masked the whizz of a bullet through the air however, as it zipped between the three and caught Blaze on the back of the neck. It stung like hell, but this was not a bullet meant to wound it's victim, and a warm tingle began to spread through the demon hunter...

[KonokoHasano]

Konoko pointed her hand towards the direction of where the bullet came from and fired off a psionic blast pulse!

[Blaze]

Blaze is hit in the back of the neck! She cries out and touches the area with hand hand, spinning around and firing wildly in the direction of the shot with an Uzi!

[A Stranger]

No foe was visible in the park, no cry of pain came as Konoko and Blaze unleashed their attacks in the direction they thought the bullet had come from. The tingling spread up and down through poor Blaze, making her head feel a little cloudy. As her fingers brushed the back of her neck, the bullet fell to the floor, but it's damage had been done.

[Blaze]

Blaze rubs her hand against the back of her head.

"Feel funny..."

She sits back downa nd rubs her temples, trying to clear the fuzziness clouding her mind.
