Nature Takes Its Course

[Raleigh]

*The blades vanish as if they were never there.* Hm.. probably. There are tests to make sure but I'd figure she represents it enough to be considered its avatar. The concept is at least similar to how I created some of the element control gems in my main weapon.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: *nods* ...That's good. One crisis averted, at least. *glances up at Acutus* ...Which means you can stop hyperventilating.

*gets herself under control* Hah... all the same, I think I'm going to have to update the Brotherhood's files on Viridi. I've seen everything that needs to be seen here. *warps away*

Ellen: ...Though now I'm wondering if scaring her into submission was Viridi's secondary objective. She's always hated Color energies, and this would've been the right way to make a statement to the Brotherhood.

[Raleigh]

Well one could hardly blame Viridi given what she is. Not too unlike if you were an aspect of order and some chaos nexus decided to take up residence in your hair from her perspective.

[AmbushCat]

*An image of Viridi materializes close by.*

Right on the dot, Raleigh. The best way to deal with a flaky scalp is some top-of-the-line shampoo.

Ellen: ...Reset Bomb-scented V05. Nice.

[Raleigh]

Could be worse. At least she isn't using the Himitsu method of dealing with things in her hair.

[AmbushCat]

I like my hair uncharred, thank you.

Ellen: ...Is that even a word?

I'm making it one.

[Raleigh]

I think we'll have to let that one pass. When the world tells you something is a word you might as well go along with it.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Fair enough. Viridi, anything on what happened that you'd like to add?

Just that your guess was correct. Aside from reclaiming what belongs to me, I wanted to send a clear message to the Brotherhood. Ovalisks, plushies, Ovalisk Plushies, giant mecha, dragons, Himitsu-grade insanity, Color energy... I'm not intimidated by any of those things. If they want to keep up with me, they'd best bring their A-game.

[Raleigh]

That smacks of challenge. I really shouldn't antagonize a planet though so I'll ignore it.

[AmbushCat]

Come to think of it, it's been long enough since the old era that I don't recall what it was that killed me and my lieutenants in the first place. If whatever it was hasn't noticed me after a few years, it's probably not around anymore.

[Raleigh]

Well that wasn't a waving a flag or anything.

[AmbushCat]

*shrugs* True.

Anyway, that's it from me. I'm out. *image fades away*

Ellen: ...Can I bother you to take me back to town, Raleigh? My ride up and vanished on me.

[Raleigh]

Of course. Ever rode on a giant sand worm?

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Can't say I have. I'd probably take it over elephants any day, though.
