Hazard  A suit of orange armor plods down the many streets and by-ways of the Overcity, carrying an oddly out-of-place igloo cooler. There is a deep bass sounding from inside the helmet, but the seal on the suit is so tight, the actual song is mostly dampened out.
00:25   DrEvilKitteh    A curious sight soon enters this armor's vision: a girl, sitting cross-legged atop a metal streetlight. She has an item in her hands and appears to be doing something with it, and is facing to the left, relative to the armor. Distinctive snow-white hair trails down her back. As of right now, she doesn't seem to have notice the newcomer--if so, she's ignoring them in favor of...whatever it
00:25   DrEvilKitteh    is she's doing.
00:29   Hazard  The red helmet tilts up to look at the argent haired maiden. An illuminated reticle clicks into place on the inner HUD of the vizor, including a tiny box. "Oh!" Comes a slightly tinny-voice from the vent on the front of the mask, "Mirabelle? What are you doing out here?"
00:34   DrEvilKitteh    The pale girl glances sideways at the armor. It takes a moment for her to place the voice. “...Samantha?” A welcoming smile blooms to life. “I hardly recognize~ you past that armor.”
00:39   Hazard  A field of hexagons spreads across the armor, highlighting edges with glowing light before the armor behind them vanishes. Lastly, the helmet itself glows and vanishes. A river of chocolate hair flows from a pale, bespectacled face, all brushed and combed smooth. She wears a tee-shirt depicting several US presidents as Robot Masters, with Obama in the middle
00:39   Hazard  as mega man.
00:39   Hazard  "Yeah, It's a bit depersonalizing, isn't it?"
00:42   DrEvilKitteh    “Indeed it is~. One can barely make out the form~ of the girl within~.” Mirabelle's hands absentmindedly continue their work. “And how have you been since our first encounter~?” There's a sly glitter in her eye at that.
00:45   Hazard  "I managed to make good on a rather profitable mission." So why has the joy drained from her eyes? "It went well." Says the liar. "I'm on the top of that client's contact list for further jobs." That was not a pretty emotion that flitted through her eyes.
00:54   DrEvilKitteh    Mirabelle merely cocks her head at what she can see in Sam. “You need not be so untruthful to me, Sam. 'Tis fine if you do not wish to go into detail, but I am hardly one you need to sugarcoat things for.” She looks straight ahead, if only for a moment, before returning her gaze to the armored girl down below.
00:57   Hazard  "We... uh... We had some civilian casualties. Mission accomplished, but, it was pretty bloody."
01:02   DrEvilKitteh    “I see.” Mirabelle's hands pause. “'Tis unfortunate when others pay the price during a battle.” She reaches over and pats the long neck of the lightpost beside her. “Would you like to join me? I will carry you up if you wish,” she offers.
01:04   Hazard  There is the barest kiss of blush to her cheeks, as she forms her armor again. With a burst of white light from her boots and back, she launches herself up to the lightpost. "Hey, this thing is sturdy. I guess it would have to be with all these magical girls jumping up here for dramatic pre-battle monologues."
01:09       *** Tang joined #MGChronicle
01:12   DrEvilKitteh    “But of course~. I surmise they also must needs support the weight of a whole flock~ of Magical Girls at once, should the need arise~.” Mirabelle, meanwhile, is still wearing her standard jeans and v-neck shirt, today colored forest green. In her hands is her journal and a pencil, which she uses to sketch the view before her. It's understandable, considering the view through the alleyway
01:12   DrEvilKitteh    directly across from her streetlight: the Overcity dips and rises in the distance, and glows like so many multicolored gems within a myriad of buildings and structures, each unique, some familiar, some completely alien.
01:12   DrEvilKitteh    Although she has her back to Sam, Mirabelle is able to peer over her shoulder at the chocolate-haired girl as her hands continue to sketch the scene. “Apart from that unfortunate series of events, have you been well?” And, naturally, she won't complain if Sam decides to get close or even touch her.
01:14   Hazard  "Yeah, I guess." She peers over the snow-headed girl's shoulder to look at the sketch, and a hint of smile pulls at the corners of her lips. "How about you?"
01:19   DrEvilKitteh    Mirabelle giggles softly and leans back against Sam. “I, too, have been well~, and I am better now~.” She bats her eyelashes at the other girl even as she gives an awning some more detail in her sketch.
01:21   Hazard  "Oh?" Comes the mechanical voice from the helmet. "Why are you better now?"
01:23   DrEvilKitteh    “Because I am now in the presence~ of a friend who is quite the cutie~,” she purrs in answer.
01:25   Hazard  Good thing this suit is equipped with a Varia module, or Mirabelle would feel it start to heat up. "Uuuuuh-uh... Then I guess I'm doing better then, too!"
01:27   DrEvilKitteh    “Flatterer~.” Mirabelle giggles coyly, even as she begins to put the finishing touches on her sketch.
01:28   Hazard  "You started it." She rests her cooler on her lap, taking a moment to check the frozen mass inside before slamming it shut and wrapping it up in "caution" tape all over again.
01:33   DrEvilKitteh    Sky-blue eyes flick to the item in question. “Ah, yes, I have been meaning to inquire as to the contents of that cooler. If it is not a secret~, of course.”
01:35   Hazard  "It's an organic bioweapon that feeds on the life energies of any creature it comes in contact with, all while attempting to build up the energies necessary to grow into a bigger, scarier form. It's called a Metroid. And it gave me my powers, surprisingly."
01:37   DrEvilKitteh    “Fascinating.” Mirabelle tilts her head and knits her snowy brow. “...Metroid... I think I have heard that somewhere before. I am unsure where.”
01:39   Hazard  "Was the planet devoid of all life, or were you just playing video games?" The smile somehow is obvious through the visor.
01:41   DrEvilKitteh    Her head tilts a little more. “If that is a reference, I am afraid I do not understand it.”
01:43   Hazard  "Until I actually met this little guy, they only existed in video games. If they really did exist outside of him..." The helmet shakes left and right. "Not good."
01:44   DrEvilKitteh    (Did you mean "outside of them"?)
01:46   Hazard  (Him, as in her little dude in the cooler)
01:47   DrEvilKitteh    (Alright.)
01:51   DrEvilKitteh    Mirabelle nods gravely. “'Tis a massive multiverse. I do not doubt 'tis possible, nor do I doubt the existence of worse creatures than it.”
01:53   Hazard  "Well, there are still Trump supporters, so I can confirm that." She chuckles. (No offense, if you are such. She's a staunch ultra-feminist, so she hates Trump with her whole heart.)
01:55   DrEvilKitteh    (Nope~)
01:56   DrEvilKitteh    Mirabelle blinks. “...That is a reference to...an event on many of the 'common' Earths, yes?”
02:00   Hazard  "There are multiple Earths? Oh, I guess there'd have to be." She leans a bit of her weight on Mirabelle. "Nevermind, he's a nasty man."
02:03   DrEvilKitteh    “Indeed, there are many of them~.” Mirabelle finishes the last detail on her sketch with a small flourish, afterwhich she snaps the journal shut. Despite the armor, she shifts to the side so she can snuggle closer to Sam. “Some say the Overcity touches an infinity~ of worlds.”
02:07   Hazard  There is an electric tingle in the air and a glow. Suddenly, the space that was once occupied by armor is void, and the two girls bump into each other through the missing few inches. "Infinity. Wow. It's kinda hard to grasp, actually."
02:09   DrEvilKitteh    “Mortal minds are not made to fully grasp~ such concepts.” Mirabelle's smile widens at the proper bodily contact, which she quite enjoys. “Not that we are entirely mortal~.”
02:10   Hazard  "Understanding god with an overclocked ape brain... yeah, I got it. So... Mira... Um..." She bites her lip, holding back the next words.
02:11   DrEvilKitteh    “Yes~?” Mirabelle idly twirls a lock of fluffy hair about her finger.
02:17   Hazard  "I'm... I-uh-I..." She shifts uncomfortably. "I was wondering... are you... seeing someone at all?"
02:21   DrEvilKitteh    “I am seeing~ someone right now~.” Mirabelle's impish smirk and flirty wink serve to indicate that she is joking.
02:23   Hazard  "Oh." Escapes the mousy twig's mouth, and awkward courses through her body like an electric current. "Who are they? They must be really lucky."
02:26   DrEvilKitteh    “I meant,” Mirabelle says, lifting a hand and raising her index finger, “that I am currently 'seeing' one person: you~.” She emphasizes the final word with a light boop to the nose. “But to answer your true question, I am not. Although I do have my sights~ on a few possible candidates~.” Her smirk grows larger, and threatens to show a sliver of her pearly whites.
02:27   Hazard  There is a quiver to her eyelash, not so much a flutter as it is far less intentional. "And what... are the qualifications for these candidates?"
02:28       *** Carmine quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
02:28       *** Jar_Mimic quit (Quit: Leaving)
02:37   DrEvilKitteh    “Hmhm~.” Mirabelle leans a little closer. “Qualifications~, you ask? Well...” She lets her tongue slide over her lips as she mulls that question over in her mind. “I enjoy~ cuties, but they are in no short supply~ in this place. Cuties who are intelligent~ are commonplace, as well. No specific type of personality interests~ me the most--though I do find myself fond~ of sweet and
02:37   DrEvilKitteh    kind girls. But perhaps the most important qualification would have to be...a willingness for the other to give their hearts to me, completely and totally, just as I shall give myself to them, wholly and entirely. Jealousy~, some might say. Faithfulness~, others might say.” A soft giggle.
02:39   Hazard  "Head over heels, fanatical?"
02:42   DrEvilKitteh    Mirabelle gives one of her elegant shrugs. “I will not share my love, nor will I permit my partner~ to share their love; theirs belongs to me and me alone, and mine to them and them alone.”
02:44   Hazard  "That makes total sense. I never could understand cheater mentality." She shrugs. "It just doesn't make sense. People are hard. Having multiple people like that? Too much."
02:46   DrEvilKitteh    “Indeed.” Mirabelle tilts her head and lightly nudges Sam with her shoulder. “But do tell me, for what reason~ did you ask such a question~? I would be ever so delighted~ to hear it~.”
02:47       *** Aristocat quit (Quit: *vanishes in a puff of memes*)
02:50   Hazard  "Wellum..." She says, but is it audible through the steam erupting from her blushing cheeks. "I guessumthat I'vebeenthinking'boutyousincethatnightandmyheadiskindafuzzyaboutitandIheardyouwerekindaflirtysoIwantedtoknowwhatyouthoughtofme....Or something like that..."
02:51   DrEvilKitteh    “Would you mind saying that a little slower~ and enunciating a little more~?” Mirabelle's smugness rises as she speaks, as evidenced by her devilish smirk.
02:53   Hazard  "I heard you... were a bit flirty. And I wanted to know... IFYOUWEREJUSTFLIRTINGORDOYOUREALLYLIKEMEATALL..."
02:56   DrEvilKitteh    “I am, indeed, quite flirtatious~,” she states with a mischievous giggle. “'Tis true that I flirt with many~, if not nearly all~.” Mirabelle's hand rises so she can gently stroke Sam's cheek with her fingertips. “...But it ought~ to be said...I do like what I have seen~ of you thus far~.”
02:58   Hazard  The stick stares straight off at the random horizon of buildings. "I... Uh... I like you too... Which is kinda new..."
02:59       *** Raincoat quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
02:59       *** Raincoat joined #MGChronicle
03:00   DrEvilKitteh    “Oh~? Does that make me your first~?”
03:01       *** POJO joined #MGChronicle
03:03   Hazard  Oh, hey, the streetlight has a second, red streetlight on top of it. "Well... I guess... I mean, I never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before. Nobody even asked me to dances in school either."
03:10   DrEvilKitteh    “A pity. For those who missed out on such an opportunity.” Mirabelle's hand shifts to gently run her fingers through Sam's chocolate waterfall of hair. “...Now, I must warn you, you are not the only one whom I 'like'. There are at least two other promising prospects, though they are also interested~ in one another in addition to myself~.” The actual situation is a bit more complex,
03:10   DrEvilKitteh    but that's the gist of it. “So long as you understand that, 'til such time as a decision is made, I will happily entertain the possibility of being in a relationship~ with you--hugging, holding hands, dates, cuddling, kissing...~”
03:10       *** Tang quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
03:12   Hazard  Oh, hey, the sun just came up. Nope, still an embarrassed, nerd girl. "Also things I haven't done. Why am I telling you this! Ohmygodthisissoembarrassing!"
03:13       *** POJO quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
03:14   DrEvilKitteh    “Fear not~, I do not mind teaching~ you of such things~.” To seal the deal--and perhaps Sam's fate if her heart is unable to withstand it--Mirabelle leans closer and plants a kiss on Sam's cheek, lips brushing the corner of her mouth in the process.
03:17       *** Eprlide quit (Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de)
03:17   Hazard  Her fluttering heart rips free of its cage, grasping at the nerves of her chest and pulling hard. It yanks especially hard on those nerves controlling her neck, and her head turns just after the kiss.
03:18   Hazard  Two colors of eyes stare back at Mira, zipping around to try and slurp in all of the fae's features at once.
03:19   DrEvilKitteh    Playful sky-blue eyes gaze unblinkingly at Sam. “Hmhm~. Would you care for another~?” she murmurs, face sloooowly drawing closer once again.
03:21       *** Tang joined #MGChronicle
03:21   Hazard  That grasping, fluttering heart turns arsonist, igniting everything in her body to action. She snaps forward, pressing her lips to their target. She does so a little /too/ hard, and immediately bounces off. "Ooop. S-sorry."
03:22       *** POJO joined #MGChronicle
03:25   DrEvilKitteh    The fae can't help but lean back and let out a clear, mirthful laugh. “Oh~, you are terribly~ precious.” Mirabelle then cups Sam's cheeks in both hands and guides their lips together. Properly, this time. The kiss is simple and chaste, or at least that's how Mirabelle starts it. She's content to remain that way for a good length of time, as long as Sam's comfortable and willing.
03:29   Hazard  And that girl, so unsure and so awkward, melts in the fire of her arsonist heart. With each shift of the lips and face, a bit more of the glacial dam gets chipped away. Floodwaters once held back find perch to drip from, and though they start to flow from the corners of her eyes, the dripping cannot quell the inferno.
03:29   Hazard  (I think I got to artsy with that, because re-reading that, it is so lewd.)
03:30   DrEvilKitteh    (Oh, definitely. But it's so damn perfect, too~)
03:31   Hazard  (This scene alone has given me two shirt concepts.)
03:31   DrEvilKitteh    (Hahaha, wonderful.)
03:32   Hazard  (One being the shirt she's wearing, the other is based on the line "Melts in the Fire of Her Arsonist Heart")
03:34   DrEvilKitteh    Well before the kiss ends and their lips part, Mirabelle's arms elected to encircle Sam and pull her body snugly against her own. “...And...how was that~ for your first kiss~?” the pale girl inquires in a breathy voice once they finally do part.
03:37   Hazard  "ah" It wasn't a word, or even a sigh. Just the barest of peeps. If it were written in a novel, it would use 3 point font. But that sound conveyed it all. Her eyes slowly lift, and bits of tears struggle desperately to cling to her thin lashes. They fail, and stream down her cheek."Ah."
03:41   DrEvilKitteh    Mirabelle smiles kindly as she lifts a hand to gently wipe some of the wetness from Samantha's cheeks. She does nothing more than that, instead giving the smaller girl some time to process.
03:42   Hazard  "I... That was... Weird but... Really nice. You taste good."
03:46   DrEvilKitteh    “I enjoyed your taste as well.” Mirabelle continues to gingerly wipe the tears off, though considerably slower if Sam's still crying. “So...I suppose 'twas a success~ as far as first kisses go.”
03:48   Hazard  Sam reaches up and feels the warm dampness of her skin just under her eyes as the tears stop flowing. "Whu...Why was I crying? That was really good. I...I'm happy. What..."
03:51       *** Puchuu quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
03:51   DrEvilKitteh    “Joy, perhaps? An abundance, so much that it overflowed?” Mirabelle theorizes, still wearing that soft, kind smile. “You said earlier that you had never done any of those relationship things, after all. Perhaps that is why?”
03:52       *** Zene|AFK quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
03:54   Hazard  "I dunno. I don't get it. It's like... you kissed me and I felt... so small. I'm not making any sense." She says leaning forward as a smile threatens to rip her face in half. She giggles with an effervescence only present in the first kiss. The giggles rock her back and forth.
04:01   DrEvilKitteh    “It does make sense, in a matter of speaking.” Mirabelle reassuringly rubs the other girl's back. “But I would wager that my guess is not far off the mark~.”
04:04   Hazard  She turns her face back up to Mirabelle, all manners of different emotional signs dancing in circles around her head. Tears, laughter, blush, and whirling eyes. She lets out one more laugh... and vanishes. In her place, a panicked yelp in a dotted-line silhouette of a girl.
04:04   Hazard  "I'm okay!"
04:04   DrEvilKitteh    (wat)
04:04   Hazard  (She fell)
04:04   DrEvilKitteh    (Ohhh, I thought she may have sped away or something.)
04:05   Hazard  "So, um... See you around the Wand, maybe?"
04:06   Hazard  Comes the call from the ground.
04:07   DrEvilKitteh    Mirabelle giggles girlishly at Sam's antics. “Yes, of course~.” She directs a coquettish wave towards the girl below. “I look forward to our next encounter, Samantha dear~.”
04:08   Hazard  Sam giggles again, forming her armor as she jogs down the street.
