>>9845842Lillith charges into the mansion, charging through the painted oak door and rendering it incapable of ever being used again, Kumome soon follows, jumping over the splintered remains. They aren't greeted by guard. Not by sword, or shield, not by Senator Creampoof and certainly not be Raging Red. Only one figure sits on the stairwell in front of them.
>Oh, you are just incorrigible sweet Lillith>Did you perhaps think that you were running into battle? Or into rescue?>The word on the street is you've been playing housekeeper recently, but I know that just like me>People don't really change>You've tried to change too huh Kumome?>First you're doing your ninja pantomine scthick and then what? Detective?>Well sorry darling but only one girl I know plays that part well and I know she didn't lend you a finger>But me? Oh, sweet Kuro's giving me the whole helping handStrapz giggles and Lillith, having heard enough makes a stomping path towards her but Strapz produces a key that glistens enough to keep the peace
>Nah uh uh Lillith>Hold your horses for a mo>Not that I wouldn't love to go a round with you, trust me I would>But I hardly think the situation is fair, after all between the two of you and the sleeping beauty outside trying to play the role of hero for sweet Red>What am I meant to do as the sole antagonist?>I've gotta even the odds a little you catch my drift?>This key here, it belongs to Red's shackles>Or maybe it doesn't>Maybe the one Zuni is holding does>Maybe the one Black Winter has does>And hey! That makes three keys held by three of us and three of you!>You following me Lillith, I know math ain't ya best subject>So that's the gig! Three of you, three of us and a big show right around the corner?>Let's play girls!
