What a nice afternoon for a walk home. Rakka walked briskly down one of the downtown streets, trying to get back to the Dians household following a busy morning of looking up some information in the library. She'd cut though the streets and ended up going down an alleyway. It wasn't the best shortcut, or the first one she'd choose, but it would get her back to the Dians house faster. As she got farther in though, she found her shortcut was blocked by a man, standing in her way.

"....Uh..." Rakka stopped, confused. There weren't usually people here, why was someone here now? Rather than confront them, she decided to turn around and leave. The way, she found to her shock, was blocked by a few more men, each of them slowly advancing into the alleyway towards her. Confusion slowly mixed with fear, and Rakka backed away from them. "Ah.... what... who are you...?"

No reply. They just continued to advance.

Fear turned to panic, and Rakka continued to back away. "What do you want!?"

"To deliver a message." The man that had originally blocked her way replied, he too advanced on her, all of them trying to prevent Rakka from escaping. She looked around frantically, searching for a way out. "Now, this can be easy, or it can be hard."

There was little doubt in Rakka's mind that these were members of the mafia she'd heard about, the ones that attacked Expresso Yourself, And Rakka wasn't going to stick around and find out why they wanted to talk to her. She fled, trying to run around the three men, but one of them managed to grab her by her coat. They struggled briefly, but the thug won out and yanked Rakka back, losing her coat in the process and exposing her wings.

"So she is one of them." One of the men remarked, eyeing Rakka's wings. They stayed away for the moment, hesitant in case she had any powers, but they were still getting closer to her. Panic overtook Rakka, and she grabbed her magic staff, holding it out in front of her. "Get away from me!"

She opened fire, sparks of electricity and sounds of fighting erupting from within the alley.

It was a nice afternoon for a walk home, wasn't it? One that saw Raye out and about as well, dressed fully in Senketsu. She wasn't sure anybody in the mafia had her face yet, but with all the random attacks going on, she wanted to be sure she wasn't caught off guard. Anybody who tried to mess with her was gonna be in for some serious shit.

"Raye. Wait."

She stopped short at Senketsu's warning, blinking down at the outfit. "Huh? What's up?"

"Something's happening. Can you hear it?"

Raye frowned, lifting her head and listening until she caught the sounds of violence.

"... Yeah. What the hell? Is it those bastards again?"

Scowling, she took off at a run, following the sounds even as the sparks and flashes of light soon faded away. It took awhile but before long there she was, staring at the sight down the alley for a moment before a familiar rage began to bubble up inside her.

"HEY!"
