[Heart Game - Ed, Maya, Roxy]

[It's dark. You're trying to move forward, but it feels like your limbs are weighed down by chains and shackles. Still, you push. You push and you pull and those chains are pulled taut and strained until suddenly--]

[Something snaps]

[You tumble forward, wind blowing past your face, until you lose awareness of anything around you. . .]

((another run ran concurrent to this one here))

[That is certainly an appearance.]

Yeah, it's one of those days.

...what's with the bandages?

[soulping]

What? What's wrong with them? They're all a part of my image, you know.

[the woman says as she places her hands on her hips]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Nothin' wrong with 'em, just curious.

But I can respect just going for a look.

[soulping]

[she smiles]

Good! ♥

Now, may I ask what it is you're doing here, young lady?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I'm looking for an unsavory sort whose stolen something very important to Kaito.

[soulping]

Oh my, is Kaito-kun's heart really filled with unsavory characters?

[she presses a hand against her cheek and sighs]

Well, I haven't seen any unsavory individuals here.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Any individuals with hard to discern features?

[soulping]

. . .

[she glances over at the figures who are loading the ship, all of them with the same hard to discern features of the people in the city hub. none of them resemble the dark thief, though]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....

[Shrugs.] Hey, it might have looked diff for you. But I'll take that as a no.

Who are ya anyway?

[soulping]

Ooooh, me? I'm Kuroba Chikage. ♥

Has Kaito-kun not told you about his dear old mother?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Hmmm....dun think so. And he really should have.

[soulping]

[she pouts]

Really! What sort of gratefulness is that? What a silly boy, not even bragging about his mother to his friends!

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It really is shameful, really.

[soulping]

[she waves a hand]

Oooh, nevermind that. I suppose we've had the chance to meet now, and that's all that matters! ♥

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Roxy laughs.] True enough. I'm Roxy, pleasure tom eet you.

What might you be doing this fine day?

[soulping]

Why, I'm working, of course.

[she gestures towards the figures loading the boat]

This shipment is very important, someone has to make sure it's done correctly.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

What's the shipment?

[soulping]

[lifts a finger to her lips and winks]

Se~cret.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Tease.

[She moves over to the edge of the dock.] Well, what 'bout the water?

[soulping]

[the water is rippling right next to the docks, near where the Tiamat boat is moored. there are also bubbles popping up to the surface from below. . . like something is swimming around and around in this area]

[Chikage inclines her head]

Ah? What about it?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

What's down there?

[soulping]

Well. . .

[suddenly, a GIANT BLUE GYARADOS HEAD bursts through the surface. it accidentally sends giant waves of water coursing towards you]

[hello c:]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[rwahejiowjaepwj]

[I AM NOW SOAKED, THANKS.]

[soulping]

[YOU'RE WELCOME]

[Chikage is giggling, and the Gyarados is staring expectantly at Roxy, its tail flicking water droplets everywhere as it wags back and forth. like a dog]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....

[She huffs and concentrate for a moment....and then the water just falls to the ground and she's dry again. Go go intangbility.]

[She pushes herself to her feet and reaches out to pet the Gyarados.] Lil prankster.
