The Escort Mission

The performer stretched her arms out with a simple yawn as she looked outside towards the rest of the island. If Lia had been successful in gathering everyone up, this should go without a hitch. Of course, with her charisma, she had no doubt her fellow performer got the job done. Yes, the blonde stood still with a wide smile, fingers cracking as she pushed her interlocked hands forward as far as they could go.

"Alright now, here's the plan." Hopefully she had other members of her family to discuss this with. "We need to make sure everyone reaches their home safe, right? First, I need to know how many vehicles we have. If they're enough to transport everyone, I'll take the front of the line just in case something shows up. Everyone cool with this?" Goldilocks ran a hand over her motorcycle's shiny golden hull. She'd have no trouble keeping up at the front. Though, maybe it wasn't really necessary; after all, she hadn't seen any demons roaming the streets so far... oh, what did it matter. Even if there weren't any demons, their guests needed to feel safe. They just saw her fight, they know she can take care of whatever threat shows up, so having her at the front should only be more reassuring. Right?

Rita certainly wanted to believe this, but someone inside her wasn't quite so sure...

Lia was outside, the guests gathered as planned. She listened to Rita, though she wasn't sure. "Me personally, I am convinced that the surface is probably the safest place. There's always the probability....chance that something might happen to attack those people, also their homes may not all be on Penecia. Two of us might not be enough if they all came back." Church Adair, the father of Lia nodded in agreement. "I don't doubt you. But they are probably safer here, where would they go?" Before that question could be answered, shadows appeared on the ground, from the sky. It appeared that some of the Demons from that circle were breaking off from Standasen and making their way over to their location. What an oddly specific area to travel to. Why could that be?

Rita bit her lip and passed a hand over her chin, before pinching it lightly. What Lia was saying made sense, they couldn't all be evacuated to their home islands in time, and certainly not with only two Users available. Who could she call on... there was no-one else on her list of frie--- Who said anything about friends?

"I can understand that, and you're completely right. Just us two aren't going to be enough to protect the entire island... ask some people to check how much food we have stored and how much space we have. If we're able to house everyone here with enough supplies to last, we could mount some defenses... then, the two of us could be at least partly enough." She rubbed her temples in unison with a grumble. Everyone was assembled and they needed to formulate a plan to keep everyone safe. At least their father was on their side, and that reassured the performer immensely.

Of course, the shadows that appeared didn't serve to make Rita any happier about their situation. She looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Okay, I don't think we have much time to spare in talking. Dad, mind getting some guys to lead the people inside and hand them whatever spare blankets or anything we might have around? If they're hungry, we should try and give them enough, I'll go... buy some things later with a trolley or something." She scratched her head, then let out a huff, before her gauntlets extended. "Lia, stay with me, I think something may be closing in on us." Goldilocks then turned towards everyone with a big smile on her face and struck a pose.

"Don't worry, everyone, we'll do anything and everything we can to make sure you guys are safe and comfortable! And after this is all over, I'm paying for each and everyone's tickets to a special show!" She'd simply cut her own rations low in order to pay for it gradually...

Lia nodded, and their Father agreed and went inside to help with the efforts. They always had something for everyone, considering that they had plenty to feed, and apart from animal care and supplies, the circus compared to say, a theme park, didn't have nearly as many expenses. Was it enough to feed a crowd's worth of guests? Possibly. Lia waved her hands at the crowd. "Go inside everyone, safely. Hold up and move where directed. We will protect you with our lives, then we'll return with enough," she posed with Lia, not suggestively or anything...but the guests would slowly be brought in, as the numbers in the skies grew before they all seemed to drop in the large street leading up to the field where the circus lay. The streets held debris of various elements, but it didn't seem to bother the demons. One figure however appeared to be riding a winged one, and proceeded to get off and land on a toppled over building, to look at the two. She appeared to be a nun, with a face that while intrigued, held something inhuman on the other side. Their face seemed to shimmer, like what Rita and Lia were looking at was some sort of illusion to mask what she truly looked like. Lia looked at the woman with shattered eyes, but still bore at them, as though to tell her she didn't belong, however it did not faze this "woman" in the slightest.

"Hm...so you're the one that was roaming around the empty city. Perhaps not everyone understood the message by the Demons being here. At least you made it a little interesting while one of my foolish comrades got into a fight at Standasen. Would you enjoy speaking to me, Tamara, or are you too bold and headstrong for words?" She bowed, gracefully, though her face when returning was malefic.

Rita twirled in place as soon as the guests began to be escorted in again, staring at the demons as they dropped in. Could she take however many there were? Maybe... maybe not, though. The blonde simply whistled in response to the numbers, however, and crossed her arms.

"Lia, fetch me a beach chair, please?" She held a somewhat sly grin as she saw the woman descend onto the building, but then shook her head softly. The performer wasn't about to disregard her words, and her blood wasn't so much pumping as it was calming with deep, calculated breaths. In a single motion, though... she shrugged.

"Yep, that'd be me! And I dare say, you're the one that just made all this interesting."

Rita's smile turned into a sort of mixture between a scowl and a smirk, and she planted her feet firmly in the floor just in front of her home. Was she about to begin a fight? A fight against this woman and all the other demons too? Hehe... nah. She wasn't that reckless, not when there were obviously flying creatures around that could just swoop by them and attack the guests while she was taking care of other things...

"Alright then... let's talk. As long as my family and our guests are safe, a talk is the best place to start." Rita's eyes mimicked much of the same emotion Lia's bore, but when they seemed to worsen, she closed them for a few seconds to calm herself, then waited for whatever the woman had to say. Of course, her gauntlets hadn't left their activated state... just in case.

"Hm, perhaps you're wiser than the average human. Tell me, what do you plan to do now that there are Demons running amok and your world is in danger? I am very much interested in your actions, since you're bold enough to not run away in the face of this. Maybe you're just mindless. Or something else." Lia glared at her. "You're place is not here. Why are you bringing them all here to threaten us?" Tamara smiled. "Because I simply can. My brethren deserve to enjoy the worlds like I do."

Subject: Re: The Escort Mission Wed Mar 30, 2016 3:26 pm

The blonde placed her arm in front of Lia and took a few steps forward, before looking back and shaking her head. It wasn't worth it to say things like that now...

"What do I plan to do? My best, duh." Rita crossed her arms and let out a sigh. "However I can, I plan on protecting these people, my guests, and making sure they live through this. They placed their faith in Lia and I, after all, and I can't let that go to waste." Something caught Rita's ear, though, when the woman mentioned that her brethren, who she pictured were the demons, also were deserving of enjoying this place... well, that at least gave her an idea.

"Maybe you're not quite wrong. Your brethren, as you said, are these creatures, right? Well, why shouldn't they be able to stick around with us?" The performer let her hands drop to her side. "I find no need for threats here. I'm sure we can come up with some kind of compromise, what's your objective here?"

Tamara's smile left her face, leaving only stone where her expression should have been. "Coexistence I see is impossible for your own world. I noticed that you all shut out the Angels that attempted to protect you. What I want is simply to free them, in every world, on every plane. Come what may, I will see to that. However, since you piqued my interest, I will answer several of your questions, and then, depending on what you ask will decide if I wish to kill you or not." As she spoke, the shimmering image that held her visage changed color, and shifted until she appeared as a nun, only with different hair, and clothing. She was more buxom, and plump, however, the smile returned, just as transparently venomous as before.

Tamara: I suppose only a question for you and your friend should suffice.

Rita: So two questions. Alright. First off, what's your goal in coming to this island specifically?

Tamara: Hm, the island itself is connected to the other world no? The world that this Azores is in, and a world that another version of your islands are in are the closest to the center of all energy, life and strength in all universes. I and my compilation of "allies" refer to it as the Core, though I think of it as a heart. However right now it bleeds, and it affects the worlds closest to it. At least your mind isn't lacking in priority. You seem to have your meaningless home in interest.

Rita: I do my part in trying to keep these islands safe, all I want is for there to be no innocent deaths in this ordeal.

Tamara: Then you have returned to the wrong home. Just as the coming of myself is imminent, so will the deaths of countless lives in an effort to contain, or set free the madness that has been wrought, to my pleasure.

Rita: What comes or doesn't come isn't my problem, I'm simply trying to minimize the damage. Regardless of myself, however... I noticed you've come from above the island of Standasen. What's going on in that island?

Tamara: What a strange question to ask. A commotion has erupted between one of my allies and a small group who seem to live here. She seems ready to murder one of them, though she wastes her time. She will not win, and she is simply wasting time as to what needs to be done. Me and my brethren are simply watching above that island.

Rita: As vague as you can be, I see. Well, I suppose that's only natural. The two questions are up, but I offer you the same deal, is there anything you want to ask us?

Tamara: How "honorable". I detest that nature.

Rita: I'm flattered.

Tamara: How do you plan to go about "minimizing the damage" or so you claim?

Rita: The first step is finding a relatively safe spot for civilians to take shelter in. The next is discovering the source of this event and neutralizing it, while keeping as many innocent people away from it as possible.

Tamara: And if the cause of it includes something not currently in this world?
Rita: Irrelevant. I've traveled to other worlds before, I'm willing to do it again.

Tamara: Shrewd. So be it.

Rita: Any more questions? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that was my third. Oh well.

Tamara: I care not for your jokes. Perhaps we are meant to be foes. But I do have a proposition.

Rita: It wasn't a joke as much as it was a slip of the tongue, and me trying to fix it.

Tamara: Stay hidden along with what people you have left. I have much larger matters to attend to, and should you not interfere, you may not find harm coming your way. Do not come to Standasen.

Rita: I personally can't do that. Let them be, they have nothing to do with this, but I can't back down when I see others needing help.

Tamara: Then this conversation is over.

Rita: It was a pleasure speaking to you.

Tamara narrowed her eyes at Rita, and with a flick of her wrist, the Demons that were scattered around the began to turn their focus on Rita and the circus. It was now a fight she started. Was it worth defending her home over if she could just agree to her terms? "You will simply have to die here then. Afraid I cannot have you running around and possibly ruining it all. Perhaps your "guests" will pay the price first." As she spoke, her voice became distorted, like two voices were speaking at once, and for a split second, her body changed, revealing something growing from her body so ugly one could not describe it in enough time before she reverted to her original "forme". Tamara was amused by this human, and hoped she would put on a show before she died. Lia stared her down, and her Persona appeared behind her. "We have people to protect Rita. Let's get going."

"Oh trust me..."

"We'll put on a hell of a show."

The blonde performer extended her gauntlets immediately after Tamara declared her little battle had started, and quickly took the time to punch them together, releasing a burst of power that swarmed over her and ignited her powers as per usual. She then turned towards Lia and flashed a smirk.

"You got it... Take the left side, I'll try and bust some on the right and then come back to you." Though, she first waited to get her speed even higher, before immediately darting towards the side with a long yet stupidly fast dash, no doubt augmented by her supernatural prowess.

Tamara watched as they fought. They could easily run away and this would not happen, but here they are, risking the lives of those they claim to want to protect. What were they getting at? Was this meant to be a contradiction of humanity, or did they have an ulterior motive? She pondered this as her underlings retaliated.
