//"You absolute IDIOT!"//

Shiina's sprinting only sped up once Lisa became visible for certain. Those tatters, those injuries, they only served to mark her in the Wild Card's mind as a fool who refused to acknowledge her own limits. A fool who pushed too hard no matter what happened... a fool who needed to prove herself more than anything else.

And then, the sound of glass shattering echoed from Shiina's body, and a throbbing assaulted her head...

//"Kids these days should know how to own up to their issues..."// Jinguu grinned behind her mask, and she ran right beside Shiina. The group would close in on the door as soon as possible, and, if Lisa had already gone inside, the Wild Card specifically would burst in with her knives in hand.

//"I swear to God..."// It reminded Shiina too much of herself. Being headstrong, stubborn, keeping up despite the difficulties. It reminded her too much of her own upbringing with the Tsurinai family. That wish to be praised, to fit in, to have some worth in society. That wish was why Shiina was so thankful for her power, the Power of the Wild Card, the power that would allow her to change this world. //"Lisa, stop! You can't fight Alice on your own like that!"// She hoped the words reached her, she hoped they were fast enough... certainly, certainly they must have been.

//"This fire inside you, someday you must release it, Master."// Jinguu-Tennou drew her blade, the crimson steel glowing in the growing darkness as more red marks on the Persona's body pierced through it. The chokuto's sheath whirred, and a bright blue light shone from inside it.

Shiina was more than ready to fight.

Lisa vanished behind the frame of the door mere seconds before the team arrived behind her. Once kicking in the door, one would think they'd see Lisa, but instead all they'd see was a young woman sitting upon the cold floor of a lifeless room. This room, that was once her setting for a tea party had become her prison very recently. Trapped within her own mind, her own domain. How ironic for a Terrorist who craved nothing but freedom?

Madness Continues [Alice Dungeon pt.2] - Page 30 2d0ndcy

Her golden eyes peered out from behind her Mask, and the cadets would find their heads almost splitting. The room twisted and turned. Colors meshed and reality warped around the young woman who had been utterly suppressed before being freed by Lisa. Each of the cadets would lose sight of one another, as reality pulled them apart and left each of them individually before the Terrorist known as Alice. With Tea Cup in hand, she poured a glass and placed it upon a small plate. "One lump of sugar? How about two?" She asked with a giggle. "I must thank you for freeing me. My heroes! Who would have thought the very Cadets I despised would be the ones to come to my rescue? I must admit, I was taken back that my own creations would turn on me. All I wished for was friends, and now they think they can just lock me away. Too bad time will always be their prison. And as long as they're stuck within my domain, their clocks won't continue clicking." Alice spoke with a playful tone as the cup of tea would flicker before reappearing in the hands of each individual Cadet.

"That silly white rabbit. Always late to the party, yet was able to steal my precious key. It's funny, did you know they used to be my old tutor back in Sunlake when I was younger? I figured I'd bring them into my paradise, and make them my White Rabbit. But this is how they repay me? I swear it's hard getting good help around here. But you... Would you like to be my new friends?" The female gave a devilish smile as a cup of tea appeared upon the palm of her hand. She tilted the glass, taking a few sips before giving a short breath. "Ah, the taste of freedom. Though, none of us are really free, are we? Your Queen made sure of that."

A ringing in her ear, her headache became harsher...

The world shifted, everyone vanished, except for her soulbound companion...

...and an undeniable murderous intent.

Shiina did not move, she didn't even react, as the Terrorist spoke in front of her. She only looked down at the cup of tea in her hands, and her brow furrowed... Jinguu-Tennou grinned behind her mask, her piercing red eyes drilling through the darkness at Alice, as she could barely hold back her blade.

//"Is this the inside of your mind?"// Shiina's voice was utterly unrecognizable, a coldness that made her look disinterested and distant tainted her usual kind and caring tones. Maybe this is what happened when Jinguu's influence got the best of her... //"It doesn't matter. My task is clear."// The Wild Card's eyes matched her Persona's in their antagonism...

...and with a decisive action, Shiina allowed her tea cup to crash on the ground, and she took a step forward to smash the broken shards beneath her heeled boots.

//"It's funny, isn't it? Someone who wants freedom so dearly as you, being repeatedly denied that pleasure..."// Shiina summoned a pair of knives to her side, one on each hand. //"...and of course, I say repeatedly, because Prison will be your new home once we are done here. Let me say a few things, Terrorist. I am not here to be anyone's friend, nor am I here to argue about whether what our Queen is doing is right or wrong. If you truly want to be free, you will have enough power to achieve it."//

//"The strong live and the weak die. Which one are you, Terrorist?"//

It seemed the minute they walked in, something retarded happen. As the room began to distort horribly worse than that one time Ava tried LSD. Holy shit...The woman remarked at the newly found room. As The strange cat masked woman would continue to speak however, and mentioned turning a random tutor into a white rabbit. Ava would be noticeably shocked and pissed off. This crazy bitch was doing the same shit people attempted on her too for the kick of it? Friends or no Friends. I don't care who you are. You may be getting out of this prison, but your sure as hell gonna be in a bigger one by the time we're through with you!It was clear that the forgotten was pretty much triggered, but in hind sight who wouldn't be mad seeing this?

Fuck Your Freedom!

With that, Ava would throw her tea cup directly at the womans face rather roughly. Before brandishing her tattoo shadow weapon. I'm gonna kick your ass!It was clear a fight was going to happen. One way or another, they were just delaying it.

After all the hurry they went through, they got there only to find out everything was a ruse made by Alice. They should have seen this coming, much like his fellow cadets he was angry at Alice, her nonchalant attitude and taunting only made it worse, though unlike them he was going to keep it for himself, giving in to his rage would not help and it would be unfitting for a person like himself.

"I do have a soft spot for tea..." He would stare in silence at the bottom of the cup for a brief moment. "... But i refuse." The golden haired cadet would let the tea drip on the ground, and after the last drop was spilled he let the cup fall. The cadet would be surrounded by a red mist and yell in pain due to the intense headache before releasing his persona.

Pain, undeniable pain and intensity, enough that it would cause her to nearly black out. On sheer will power alone, she managed not to do so, but it only served to agitate her. Just one more thing to add to the growing bucket list of obstacles to overcome.

At attention, Cadet. Eunomia called out, snapping Masako back to reality, a very twisted and confusing reality.

The others?

Seperated, no doubt by the madness of this one woman. I recommend that you not once drop your guard, or at the very least be quick to act if you are caught by surprise.

She was ready for that. Combat, persecution, resistance, anything really! Tea was not one of the things on that list.

Interesting tale she weaves, but at least she seems honest. Shall we take that as evidence against her crimes?

Masako did not answer Eunomia. She instead choose to look at the tea she was offered. The nonchalance that this terrorist displayed, especially in her admittance of what she did to an old tutor. The very strong possibility that this was all a grand manipulation play by this very terrorist just to escape.

Irony was a funny thing, considering her intent.

One would think she would be as angry as the others were likely to be. Masako imagined that Ava is probably throwing that tea cup in a rage at her and already drawing her tattooed blade. Ava was always one to take initiative like that, it seemed.

No, she had no interest in anger. Anger was clouding. It was illogical. It was unprofessional. It was a useless emotion. Most of all, anger was poisonous. It was the most poisonous of emotions, and she refused to give into it.

She often wonders if that made her a hypocrite.

"Well, I'm afraid that is an opinion that we don't share. I can't really agree that our Queen is our prison warden where she had worked hard to maintain our Order and peace. While I have made some rather odd aquaintences during my time, and would no doubt by that logic be glade to add you to those acquaintances, I'm afraid I have a duty to perform. You've cause quite a ruckus, quite the impressive disturbance of the Order. You'll have to take responsibility for that."

Rather politely, she set the tea aside a small distance. No point ruining tea that was politely offered, especially in the strong likely hood of a scuffle.

"If you come willingly, then perhaps they'll go easy on you. I may even visit from time to time to hear your story. If not..." She flinched and shut her eyes in pain as she called forth her one inseparable ally. Eunomia appeared behind Masako in all of her androidic, mechanical glory, the perfect representation of the cold machine of Order that Masako wish to become.

"Then I will have to enforce Order!"

"Why so angsty? You're my cherished guest, please calm yourself. Your age is beginning to show." The Terrorist watched the Cadet crush the cup beneath her boots. Her golden eyes narrowed, not out of anger but amusement. "If the tea wasn't to your liking, you could have just said so you know? You talk big words for such a little girl. Telling from those eyes you were most likely spoon fed your power. You didn't gain it through the internal struggle each Terrorist had to face. Win or Lose, it doesn't really matter to me. I'd simply be going from a larger prison, to a smaller one. You never quite know just how strong you are until you're put through strife and forced to wear a mask to survive in your every day life." Alice shrugged her shoulders as she took a sip of her tea. The room turned and she sat before Ava now.

The young woman tilted her head and the cup flew pass her and into the meshed colors of the world she had made. There was no crash, or breaking sound. It was almost as if the world itself had swallowed the cup. "Ooo, Scary. You sure you're on the right side? Aren't cadets supposed to be abit more refined that that. I could always use a cell mate, how about you hop right in? I'd pick your mind, but are you intelligent enough to hold a solid conversation?" She teased with her words as she took another sip. One leg folded over the other as the world turned, and Gio was next to appear before her.

"Boy, do Cadets all have to ruin their tea in their own stylish way. I'm starting to get offended." Alice giggled as she placed her cup down and watched Gio with round, golden eyes. "Do you refuse because you think the others with you are your friends? Your allies? What happens when the order comes to bring you in? After all, your senior officer Claire surely seemed to be so special. But I was told that she's on the hitlist now. So willing to kill one of their own; the government is a scary bunch aren't they?" She shivered playfully as if scared, though the nonchalance in her voice proved other wise. The tables turned once more this time, and it came upon the final cadet.

Alice watched them with interested eyes. Well, most likely because of the polite manner they set the tea down. That was a nice change. She smiled: "I am very willing to take responsibility for my actions. Of course, not easily. I'll have to give you a fight for your money, but who's to say it has to be so serious?" Alice was willing to continue, but the sudden change in personality caused her to raise a brow. That was very interesting. An unstable mind in her domain was easy picking.

Shiina's eyes widened as one phrase was uttered. 'Spoonfed' her power? HER power? The power she longed for during all her life, the power she needed during her struggle, being integrated into the Tsurinai family as an outsider. Suffering through scorn as her parents were shamed for adopting her, being told repeatedly that she was nothing more than a black sheep in a sea of immaculate white wool...

It froze her. The gall, the nerve, she could call it whatever she wanted... But Jinguu-Tennou knew her feelings had to be put aside.

//"That's enough out of you, Shiina. You should know better than to play into her mind games. Terrorist! No, Alice! I'm getting tired of standing around here chatting. Take the first blow or I will; that is the only warning you'll have, and neither of us will comply with your tricks any longer."//

//"...right. Understood, Jinguu. My heart and actions are utterly unclouded; they are all those of justice! En garde, Alice!"//

"You're not in the position criticize my show off. Not only you are wearing very revealing clothes but the tea party was very unnecessary." Throwing the cup at Alice or the ground had been done already, and just setting it down had no impact, even if it was more polite. "Besides, offering your guests such cheap tea is much more offensive than anything we have done." GioGio added with a smirk on his lips.

"I'm sure she wouldn't become a target for no good reason. If you want to cause discord in our ranks you better step up your game." He didn't reject the tea because of the others, other than Shiina the other two cadets were work colleagues at best, they were miles away from having a bond. "If you are expecting to talk your way out of this, you're wasting your breath."

.... right... Masako thought, finding their comment somewhat offputting. They sure seem to be quite confident.

What I wouldn't give to have the others here with me right now...

Buy time, gather what you can. Surely the others are confronting this connundrum in their own way. If they really are reliable, they should be able to break out. Meet them halfway.

"You'll forgive me if I'm having trust issues, I hope," Masako replied, "I'm already of a predisposition that makes it difficult to trust someone behind a mask. Though, I do appreciate what forwardness you're giving." She decided to chance this forwardness. Buy time, gather information. From her initial first impression of this girl, she's... exceedingly confident in herself. Perhaps she can afford to be so casual in her conversation. Should she just press the attack?

By herself?! With only her sword skills and a standard issue gun that she refuses to touch?!

No, she needed to press this carefully, analyze and strategize. She has to be careful as to how she pursues.

"Then let me match your forwardness in kind. I myself am a rather serious person. What distractions I allow myself are only on my free time. While I'm on duty, I intend to see it to the end. So I hope you'll forgive me if it seems I 'Cheshire' of these games."

Eunomia is as mechanical in her outward appearance as Masako, as cold and calculating and as stoic. Eunomia chooses to be as such because it is what it believes will get the job done most effectively.

If it were not for this, mind you, if she had not chosen to act with the same level of stoic professionalism as Masako is trying to have, she would have instead smacked her forehead in disbelief at Masako's very poorly timed pun.

Ava would sneer as Alice attempted to say her words. Truly this woman was rather misguided in how she acted. Said the almost naked woman who thinks turning people into creatures against their will makes her suddenly better. This entire scene alone demonstrates how pathetic you criminals are. Stalling around while prancing nearly naked while harming innocents? I doubt your intelligent enough to hold a solid conversation if all you can do is play head games with us while looking like a fool.Ava was confident in herself to take this woman on as well. What on earth are you talking about by this...Internal struggle? It took alot of effort to bare it all nearly for us to see?Is this your idea of freedom? Try what you like. Your not convincing anyone here to support you. Ava bantered back as she respositioned herself. Answer me this however... Why did you transform your teacher into that creature? It's funny. You act like we are the bad guys, here to just lock you up, "the wrong side".but all I see is victims ruined by your retarded facade you put on this place. Who's really the villain here?

Her shadow weapon was ready and out, she was certainly just waiting for the fight to begin.

The world continued to turn around them, however the Cadets would find themselves back amongst each other. Lisa could also be found within the room, kneeling down upon the table with her wounds overcoming her current state. She used her blade to brace herself as Alice glanced towards her with a smile before looking back towards the others. "I bore with conversation myself, so I'll end it here. You all are so deadly serious with me, so I'll give you what you want. Here is your prize! The fight you've all wanted oh so bad!" The young woman spoke as if she were excited, but honestly was just mocking of the group. She had probed their minds for a reason. A reason they would never know until later in their journey as dogs of the Government. Standing from her seat, she poured the remaining tea from the kettle upon the floor. It continued to spread across the room, filling the entire space with its sweet aroma and warmth.

This Terrorist seemed to be ready to meet their challenge, win or lose. There was no worry or hesitation in her eyes, as if she had already won regardless of the outcome of this small bout. Her loyal Persona, the Cheshire Cat, appeared behind her as an esper that grasped her shoulders and peered at her guests with golden hues. A sickening smile came across its face as their battle commenced.

//"Finally, some action!"// A twisted grin crossed Jinguu's face as her blade glowed in a frosted hue... but soon vanished as Shiina shook her head. //"And finally, a chance to put an end to this farce."//

//"Tsk, tsk... if you were to ask me before, lobbing your head from your neck would be the highest priority for me right now. But unfortunately, I don't believe this world is any real for even a second. That gas outside... you made it as well, didn't you? Who's to say you didn't do the same to us now?"// The Wild Card extended her hand, and her Persona's form condensed into a ball of light before reforming as a Tarot Card of the Magus Arcana, floating atop her palm. //"Fortunately, I had the power to dispel it then, and I still hold it now!"// In the next flip, the card shifted to the Fortune Arcana, and Shiina crushed it within her hand...

Masako isn't sure what's going on at this point, but muscle memory seemed to have an idea. It put her right where she was most comfortable, at the rear guard.

Not the most ideal place if she was to try and tend to someones wounds, but she didn't really trust this. Trying to tend to the wounded Sailor Scout (heh, she does kind of remind her of one) really opened anyone up to a first attack by this Terrorist. But maybe she could soften the blow for someone who was in a better position to help?

First, she locked onto Alice. Her auto-analysist skill needed a target, after all. Then, while the opening was still there, she called upon her unique skill. If she could slow down Alice considerably, that should make it easier for anyone else attempting rescue, right?
