Frigid Climax(Ami, Haruka, Natsume thread)

[Midnight Sun]

"Hm, hold on a second," Natsume says.

Without another word she quickly removes her sweater and the t-shirt underneath. She shivers noticeably as the freezing air touches her bare skin, the only top she has on now is her bra.

I'd better make this quick. In this cold I could probably get frost bite

As Ptilol suggested, she manages to tear a few strips out of the t-shirt and use them to make a rough covering for the wound.

"I don't know how long that will last, but its better than nothing I suppose." she says, already throwing her sweater back on.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami's eyes widen to comical proportion as she watches the girl strip down to her bra, and her cheeks burn a little as she stares in spite of herself.

Oh My...she's quite...healthy, isn't she? No! Not now. Later...I mean no!

Ami struggles to get herself under control, and manages to look at least mildly composed after Natsume finishes, though her manner is a bit more timid, now.

"Thank you..." She murmurs.

[Midnight Sun]

"Artemis...he's that man that...well...turned into a cat right?" Natsume says, noticing how utterly insane that sounded. "I think...Haruka, I think thats right, caught him after he jumped down."

She then notices the odd red tinge that has suddenly appeared on Ami's face.

"Umm, are you okay?"

[Bean Bandit]

Why does this always happen? First Usagi, and now this girl... "Uhm...I'm fine, just a little dizzy." Ami blurts, then switches topics, sighing a little. "At least he's not hurt, then..."

[Midnight Sun]

"You said you could still walk right?" Natsume asks. She leans down and wraps an arm around Ami's shoulders, and helps her to stand. "We should get moving."

[Anastasia]

Nodding at all this, "That should work well enough," Ptilol nods. "Hurry up so we can get going." Cyprine agrees, smiling slightly at the display.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami sighs inwardly, working hard to keep her expression at least somewhat undercontrol, blushing a bit more as she accepts the assistance from the taller girl.

I should...I should...Oh kami...uhm. Ami gibbers inwardly, smiling shyly in thanks. Oh Kami, I'm enjoying this... she thinks with resignation.

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka comes back to join Viluy and Artemis after retrieving her Space Sword. She has a strange... contemplative look as she stares at her Talisman, as if she's trying to sort out a mental puzzle.

Something about that Space Sword Blaster seems to have jogged something... but what? she wonders.

Her eyes, on their own, track their way up the length of Viluy's leg, finally settling on her wound.  What is it about that drew my....

Haruka's head snaps up as she grabs her partner excitedly.  "Can I try something, Viluy?" she asks, as she fiddles with the weapon in her hand.  "I don't know if this'll work, mind you, but I think I remember something."

[Anastasia]

Surprised but not letting herself show it too much, Viluy nods to Haruka. "Go ahead...but what exactly did you remember," Asking with a touch of curiosity, she nods and takes your resting hand with hers. She's a damn sight warmer than the blasted mall is right now, to the joy of your skin.

[Midnight Sun]

"Hm...this is taking a bit too long," Natsume says as they slowly negotiate the steps. "Hold on..."

Without warning, she scoops Ami up into her arms, trying not to agitate the wound on her leg.

"There, much better," she says as she begins sprinting down the stairs at a much faster pace.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Midnight rolls 2d6 and gets 4."

Sprinting down the stairs, you find it dark in here, only star light points giving any illumionation as you head down the stairwell. It's unrailed stairs attached to the wall, with a central middle space that would be quite a fall if you slipped. Yet you do not as you head down into the darkness below...

It's not an ov erly long set of stairs, ending inside the ice castle.  An arched opening leads from the circular room-bottom, to what looks to be a open hallway going vertical to you.

[Liddo-kun]

"This Space Sword of mine," Haruka begins, turning said Talisman this way and that as she explains, "does more than just the Space Sword Blaster.  If I'm not mistaken, it can do things like heal, which I'm going to try," she says with a shrug, getting herself ready.

Now to give this a whirl....

[Anastasia]

* Musk-bot --> "Haruka rolls 2d6 for Space Sword related fun and gets 12."

Neptune's eyes widen in silent appreciation of that promise, keeping full view on the Space Sword as Haruka attempts to use it's powers...

And nothing happens. It doesn't even begin to glow.

Several seconds pass without anything happening. It feels as if you're doing it right, but....

Damn.

Going more normal at the pause, "Uranus, is something wrong," Viluy asks, at your rather unplanned pause.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami's eyes widen to near saucer-size, her arms automatically draping around the girl's neck as her blush turns bright red, staining her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. It's like she's teasing me, or something... Ami wails inwardly, trying to concentrate on their surroundings.

[Anastasia]

As you head down, you can begin to hear the Twins, assumidly, heading down the stairs themselves.

As Haruka's Space Sword is attempted to be used, Ptilol slowly levitates down to Haruka and Viluy's level. During this, Artemis also shifts back into human form - sans the Mercury Pen's affects.

Landing near all three as Haruka's sword tech fails, "Uranus, Neptune. That woman and Mercury have gone inside from upstairs already."
