Madness Continues [Alice Dungeon pt.2]

Took a while. Giving out the material items.

Each unit in the team earns...:

"That rabbit could use some manners... Kinda makes me want to erase him..." GioGio let out a sigh, he was quite concerned after seeing Shiina's reaction. "So, who is this 'sailor scout' exactly? I take it's someone you know." The cadet inquired with an eyebrow raised, honestly he was more worried about Shiina stressing out than the safety of whoever is this 'sailor scout', if she wanted to throw her life away, so be it. "Don't worry, we will get through this, Shiina."

Action:

It seemed that apparently some Sailor Scout person had come here before them, which would only cause Ava to stop and wonder. Who would actually come in here alone in the first place? The area was certainly dangerous and posssessed many hazards that would out right kill anyone who was normal that bothered to ATTEMPT to walk inside of it. From what Ava could gather at the time, apparently this sailor scout must have been with Shiina and whoever else had previously been here. The rabbit did sound rather cocksure of itself too, perhaps the way it looked was some form of disguise to everyone else that bore eyes upon it? The woman could only wonder, there were many questions that she didn't simply have the time to get answered right now nor the chance to get answered at all. As she would opt to simply trudge along in the dungeon following Shiina and co en route to get to Alice's location. With the way the Rabbit talked of alice, it only caused Ava to wonder. Defeating her couldn't be too hard right? Though that rabbit seemed to be rather pretentious and wild when it came to talking about her, as if he was far more than a few steps below it.

Just what were this womans capabilities? Was this her own twisted wonderland that she had created as an aspect of her power? The idea of her manipulating the entire enviroment against the small team as well Ava found rather frightening, they possessed multiple disadvantages given they were confronting an enemy on their own territory. Huh shiina, who exactly was this sailor scout person anyway? I'm guessing you gotta know them.Ava would simply ask, after all she might as well know who that sailor scout person was.Whoever that was, they probably are very stubborn to have come in here by themselves and somehow obtained this "key".The fact that this "wonderland" was still standing and alice's domain still possessed quite a few dastardly enemies within it only served to represent how cruel reality was, and how likely it was that this person had died or been captured, subject to whatever unknown autistic horrors lied further on within. Well...I guess this is it then. Showtime.Ava would remark as she followed the rest of the group torwards alice's house, hoping for the best that the person who likely failed badly was still alive. People weren't any good if they died after all.

The entire conversation, she stood still, watching in quiet, waiting for something to happen.  For the most part... a very rude rabbit.

Well this is interesting.  They handed over the key already?  This is sure to be problematic.

Most likely someone took our place without our notice.  There could be many surprises.  Though, a Sailor Scout?

I wouldn't knock it.  It was one of the very first magical girl sentai teams to make the concept rather popular.

Can you really afford to let yourself get distracted with such trivial shows?

Those trivial shows have allowed me a sense of variation in my otherwise tireless crusade to transform myself into a perfect tool for Order and peace in this communi- Wait a minute, did she say infirmary?

All of a sudden, a very powerful sense of urgency seemed to fill the room.  Whoever this person was, they were someone Shiina was familiar with.  And they were someone who were about to try something while being in a very bad shape.

//"Come on, everyone... some people need to be taught their limits for once."//

Before she knew it, the De Facto Team Leader was already rushing off at high speeds.  Then was Mr. Gionatan, then Miss Ava following close behind.

Masako decided to spare a quick minute just to give the rabbit one last word.  “We will be finishing this later.”  She declared before she rushed after the others.  Whether later would come or not was up to fate, at this point, but she was not about to let something like this go without a last word.  After all, there was always a possibility that the rabbit would have more vital information.

Though trapped here?  It seems maybe the rabbit has a right to be so upset.  This basically means they'll have to work on setting him free from this point on.  If he's still rude, Masako knows a good place where there are lots of decent counselors that can help with his attitude.  If nothing else, Seven Stars would at least have information on that.

For now, her focus was on this mad challenger of this mad mad world.

Who in their right mind would think to challenge this mad world in such a critical state?!  They are practically begging to be killed!!!

If it's a comfort, we did manage to seemingly clear the area of most of it's more dangerous predators.

It is not a comfort at all!  That, at worst, means she has a clear path to who is possibly the most dangerous person in this world!  Why in the world would anyone do something so suicidal?!

”Huh shiina, who exactly was this sailor scout person anyway? I'm guessing you gotta know them.  Whoever that was, they probably are very stubborn to have come in here by themselves and somehow obtained this 'key.'”

What Ava said did manage to put a bit of things in perspective.

... You yourself are stubborn, aren't you?  The kind that can't accept your own weakness...

She didn't reply.  Her hand gripped the hilt of her sword all the tighter as she kept close to the group.

"I.. see." It seems there wasn't much he could say that would help calm down Shiina, all he could do is trust that the Wild Card wouldn't let it affect her performance. Though no matter what, it's actually very off-putting to see Shiina actually show concern, she has been mostly calm and casual during his awakening and the mission. "I wonder though, you said she is stubborn but even then she wouldn't be doing this for nothing. Is she trying to prove something or is it just pride?" He was actually curious about what drove the Sailor Cadet to charge in alone, and some insight on her motivations might help to stop her if she was about to do something stupid.

"I got your back Shiina."

Well...That's disappointing. I'm sure everything will work out though right?Ava wasn't necessarily the best with words these days, so she said what she thought was practical at the least.

STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:

For the time being, she merely listened to the conversation at hand, having a back and forth with Eunomia.

So she has some history with this potential hot head.  That would explain the sudden urgency.

Or perhaps Miss Tsurinai is acting on previous knowledge of her connection, and merely seeks to preserve life in the same way you wish to preserve Order.

I suppose that's a possibility I shouldn't rule out.  I know nothing of anyone's past here.

//"Her name is Lisa. I spoke to her before we both became Cadets, and she seemed like at least a reasonable person then... but when we worked together, she was headstrong and stubborn, so I can't say this is too much of a surprise for me. Hnn..."//

"I wonder though, you said she is stubborn but even then she wouldn't be doing this for nothing. Is she trying to prove something or is it just pride?"

That was a line she found herself drawn too.

"Perhaps she can't sit still and do nothing," she offered as a suggestion.  "I can understand the desires not to be held down, even by your own injuries."

After all, you've done a few reckless things yourself.  Masako did not reply to her Persona.

You have a long way to go if you wish to achieve your goal of being the perfect tower of Order. Eunomia commented.

”Well...That's disappointing. I'm sure everything will work out though right?”

Optimism is a dangerous thing to have at this point.  I'd shy away from it if I were her.

I wouldn't judge anyone for it if I were you.  While I myself an a cynic, I'd rather have at least one hopeful among my acquaintances.  Even if it's useless to myself, I'd rather believe that it still has purpose and use for others.

Doesn't that make you a hypocrite?  For a pessimist, you sure are optimistic about optimisms place in your team.

Again, Masako decided not to respond.  Eunomia's methodical approach was beginning to get more and more concerning for her.

By all means, ignore it.  You're going to have to face it eventually.

Or perhaps Eunomia has a way of striking a little too close to her heart whenever Eunomia spoke.  Eunomia seemed to have a habit of treating things with such a methodical approach that the individuals were only as important as their purpose to the end goal.  It was disturbing to think that something like this was now a part of her.

Though, they're called Persona, right?  A Persona was effectively a mask that one wore to help them through society, right?

No, now is not the time to be thinking of that.  She has a mission to accomplish.  She can question herself once this mission was over and Order preserved.
