Who: Luci Edwards, and you!
Where: Near and around downtown
When: 4/10
What: Mad make-up kit on the lose!
Warnings: Fashion disasters all over the place

[After taking care of a few things that were essential to her re-entry into Locke--talking to someone about school options, wandering around and seeing if anyone around was hiring--Luci was exhausted. Folder full of applications tucked under her arm, she ducked into a café for a bit of a recharge.

Sitting down at a table, the blond deflated a bit, ready to relax with a book (she always kept one in her purse), maybe a cup of coffee. A giant make-up kit chasing people down on the streets.

Wait, what?

Much like the rest of the people in the café, Luci stood up, gaping at the window in time to catch a poor innocent bystander get tackled by the compact on a rampage, which slammed her against the wall.

The aftermath wasn't pretty. A human-shaped outline in different-colored powders adorning the wall, what was left was a person, dazed, their face a product of some four-year old's I-just-found-mommy's-makeup-let's-be-pretty disaster. Looking proud of itself, the kit toddled off, looking for its next makeover victim.

What in the world... She should... probably do something... Locke City, what are you doing.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Luci would also like to ask this question. Can't leave you alone for a minute.

As Holly is riffling through, she might see a very bronze-skinned, extremely colorful blond chasing the rampant make-up kit down with a vengeance.]

[Holly does notice and follows after, Windy flying ahead of her to try and intercept the make-up kit, using it's powers to try and blow the kit back a few steps. Or at least hold it off long enough for the reincarnates to get there to try and stop it.]

Good job Windy! [Holly calls, catching up to Luci in the process.]

[That was extremely convenient! Ah, the joys of not having to be so inconspicuous about one's powers anymore!

Stopping a few steps behind Holly, the blond gives her a rather glittery--like, literally, there is probably a pound of glitter on her face right now--smile.]

Hey, thanks for the help!

[All right, buster, you're going down now!]

[Wow that is a lot of make up.... is her first thought, but she's nodding and smiling just after.] No problem.

[The moment they've caught up, Windy reverts back to a card and goes back to Holly. She's not a fighter, Holly's tested this out in the company of her back yard and the birds in the trees.

Now which to use? While she's shuffling through her cards, she's let herself be wide open and the make up kit sees an opportunity!]

Oh no you don't!

[Maybe it's because she's been chasing this thing nonstop for quite some time, or that she's thrown too many spells but, tossing out a snare, the kit zigs instead of zags, her spell missing by a mile.

So sorry, Holly, you're gonna get creamed. Literally and figuratively. The kit slams into her.]

Huh?! [Glancing up Holly has enough time for her eyes to widen before the kit slams into her, knocking her down. She expects it to hurt but is surprisingly not harmed just left to look something like a stage actress and a drag queen.

She can feel the make up on her face like the stuff she wears for Halloween but doesn't have much time to really do anything about it.]

E-earthy! [She flings the card out, the dragon appearing like usual and chasing after the kit that has now turned towards fleeing civilians!]

[She looks like one of the doll Ez sent from China...

Come on, Luci, stop staring, this is serious!

All right, let's try this snare thing again! Flick of the wrist and--does it connect?]

[With Earthy there to block the kit's path it does hit!]

Yes! [Holly's managed to get up and jumps a little happily!] Good job Earthy! [Yes she is cheering her magical cards, no she does not care!]

[That was actually extremely handy!

Snared in place, fighting against the magical binds, Luci took that chance to throw a Lucent Singularity at it, detonating it almost immediately. It's large enough to shield Earthy, which is pretty lucky.

It roars, which is to say, it makes a terrible screeching noise, before looking between the two. WHO TO GO FOR YOU'RE BOTH SO ANNOYING.

But so pretty, dang. Good work, make-up monster!]

[She's already shuffling through her cards again, still not using Firey, he likes to be a little too destructive and one thing this city doesn't need is more destruction. Glancing up she feels that same dropping sensation in her stomach and sways just a bit, between one step to the other she's dressed in a completely different outfit. A white and blue jesters costume with a blue hat that splits like twin tails, it's a little tight around the chest- obviously the previous owner hadn't developed anything yet but otherwise it's surprisingly well tailored.]

What in the world?

[Glancing down at herself she almost laughs. What a day- first a weird make up kit monster, now a costume to fight it in.

Pulling Watery out, she summons the card with a twirl of her staff, Earthy coming to try and help pin the kit down.] No- no you're not going anywhere.

[Magical girls. So many magical girls. Why did it not surprise Luci that this one was one as well, even if it seemed to surprise the other girl.

It struggles against the hold of Earthy and Watery, small bits falling out and trying to flee; an eyelash curler, a brush, a lipstick rolling off on the sidewalk.]

[Well shoot she can't pull another out- well she could try but she's afraid she'll faint again and that wasn't fun in the least.]

Um- Ma'am could you.. stop the brush and lipstick? [Earthy sends out a wave of rock over the eyelash curler, pounding it into the ground in what seems like a pretty solid finishing blow.]

[OHKO. That curler is obliterated.]

On it!

[She throws out another snare/lucent singularity combo, detonating it and sending the two flying. She won't be able to get out too many more than this, but given that neither item is moving anymore, she might not have to.]

[Holly jumps a little when it's shown they monsters are defeated! Phew! Earthy returns to a card easily, dropping down into her hand without any complaint- Watery though stays around, hovering just behind her. As a mermaid like figure of water peers over the top of her head, curled protectively around Holly, Holly smiles and claps.]

We did it!

[This was not what she'd thought she'd be doing today- not at all.]

Are you okay?

[Luci lets out a sigh of relief. That, thankfully, didn't go as badly as she originally thought it might, and the blond gave the other girl a bright smile.]

I'm fine, are you okay?

[Holly waves a hand.] Oh I'm fine, no injuries at all. Though, I'm starting to wonder if there will ever be a day I just get to go outside in this city without something strange happening.
