The shadow makes her look up, and right above her is Rita’s fully-sized armored skirt- and she’s looking right under it. There is the butt, of course, under thick leather pants with even more armor by the knees- but that split second is stolen by what’s around it. Akin to the drawings on a pyramid, the insides of Rita’s skirt depict pictures of battles, huge swords, of odd demons and warriors, of demon-warriors with white hair and arms with tattoos. Yet the story is cut short; Rita lands in front of her right on the rope, so hard that the recoil sends Lucinda upwards, who isn't sent to the skies by the blessings of a single hand. The teenager in front of Rita loses its balance but regains it when the knight lets it rest under her candy pole, risking her own.
Now clutching onto the rope with her whole body, cursing the day her parents were forced into an arranged marriage, the pretty blonde regains her balance and drops her body under her again, not daring to look down. Ahead, Rita is walking on the rope, dragging it down, her center of gravity made very stable by all that steel.
ರೃ <span class="mu-s">Lucinda</span>: <span class="mu-i">(May I ask what the HELL is wrong with you?)</span>
凸 <span class="mu-s">Rita</span>: <span class="mu-i">(W-what?! Where are you?! Lucinda! Where are you?!)</span>
Lucinda is about to answer when she finds her hands stepped on, and she’s about to curse when she finds them stepped on again. Terrified, she twists her neck around. The hordes of Familiars, frame by frame, are now making for the rope, one after the other, some not even carrying candy canes- as the guards still devour the ones that don’t carry a proper card. Gritting those very white teeth as her fingernails break one by one, drowning painful screams with anger, the next monster to step on her is caught in a net and sent spiraling down- and the one behind it too.
凸 <span class="mu-s">Rita</span>: <span class="mu-i">(TARGET REDIRECTION! TARGET REDIRECTION! TARGET REDIRECTION!)</span>
From the land, the Familiars continue to fling bug nets at Rita, and these stretch when the Familiars blow on them with the human mouth that the eye inside them has for an iris. One after the other, the Familiars continue to catch their own with them, some going as far as to take the bounty away as if they would have caught her. Then the rhythm gets intense. Rita starts parrying the bug nets with her candy pole as she continues to redirect their attacks towards them, but when a lucky strike sees her facing five at the same time
ರೃ <span class="mu-s">Lucinda</span>: <span class="mu-i">(..!)</span>
Rita falls too.
