Shinigami's Manor. (Shinigami's Entry)

[Warning]

Shinigami looked slightly annoyed with Mitsuko being missing but said nothing of it. As for this Nymphia currently healing her, she and her had fun but it's true that she would have to return to where she came from. "The night has been fine... The yapping cat has taken care of things while you were gone. I feel better, now...", she spoke with a bit of tease toward Nall, whether she thought what she said or not. Her hand moved to pet Nymphia's head who did her best not to lose focus but otherwise didn't mind the feeling. Nall himself pouted, being about to retort but held himself back, instead focusing on what was important, especially after witnessing everything that had happened so far the last few days.

"Oh so we're going to move. Good, I can't stay and rest my wings for too long. This place and her place feel too much like a prison to my taste.", Nall said, referring to Shinigami's house for the second one. Instead of letting Shinigami focus on what Nall said, Nymphia being done soon enough moved closer and hugged the fox, despite her being naked. If anything, that even added a nice feeling to it. "You take care of Mitsuko and Jumi like they're taking care of you, alright...? I'd like to hear happy stories when I see you all again.", she only said, making the fox focus back to her, her oddly pink eyes staring down at Nymphia. "R-right. They will be safe, if that's what worries you.", she replied then looked away.

Nymphia smiled to the answer and moved up, giving her a kiss before she stepped back, leaving her dazed but turned to Jumi and Nall. "She will be alright. Now, we can make sure that Mitsuko is fine, too. Unless it's best to wait for her here... It might not be too bad to try knocking at her door, though. At least to let her know that the morning has come.", she proposed while moving closer to them, getting ready to leave the room but making sure to give a wave of the hand to Shinigami first. Nall himself also felt a little surprised by the exchange but he liked the idea of going to see Mitsuko after waiting all night. He needed to know what was happening with his chosen Valkyrie, too. As such, he flew around.

Jumi kept her thoughts to herself on opinions of the places.  Shinigami’s house had a little prison like in the beginning, but she warmed up to it later on.  This place was more fun for her however.  As she had mentioned before, something like a holiday.  Though she could understand Nall wanting to get some air/space.  That said… “Hopefully you two won’t find my apartment too confining.”  She said, mostly as a joke.  In the short term, Nall and Shinigami might be confined there more often than not.  Until they could figure out something.  Keeping either of them around when she and/or Mitsuko were in civilian form might be an issue.

”I suppose it would be a good idea.  Hopefully they didn’t stay up too late and got a good sleep.  Back in a moment.”  It was better if Nall and Shinigami stayed put a little longer, but she did not mind if Nymphia followed.  She could have called Alexandrine instead, but maybe this was better.

She stepped over to the room those two were in a gave a short firm knock.  “Good morning ladies.  No rush to get up, but it is probably a good time to wake up and begin getting dressed and ready to go.”  She stood by the door and waited quietly, in case either wanted to respond.

[Warning]

Nall looked a bit disappointed but remained behind with a Shinigami who was getting back to earth as she put some thought about what was planned. Only then did Nall take a certain look at the naked vixen but did what he needed to, to not stare and give the wrong idea. The deathly fox didn't much care and it wasn't really new that a human or else looked at her in a way or another. She always found interesting to see the conflicted looks in some humans' eyes. A side of fear but for some, a side of desperate envy for a thing that was recognized as nothing but a threat to their world. Perhaps not as much as before, though. With the massive portal explosion, her relics were also destroyed along with her home.

Or at least, that's what Shinigami assumed. Nothing that her mother could not fix, probably. As it was, she was left to the human world as punishment for her betrayal but it was not so bad so far. She still had the mean to defend herself to a magical girl level of power. A smirk formed on her face as she eyed the cat but she soon got up and stretched up. She could not disobey her humans friends. If she showed herself, it could cause panic and most likely would put the ones who saved her in troubles. No messing up either. Perhaps a temporary nap. She felt good for now with the healing magic having made her feel relieved. Almost as good as new. For the time being, Shinigami went to lay down on the bed.

Mitsuko herself was still sleeping at the time but the knocking sound shot her awake and lift her head up, first because she was naked and next because she was not just with anyone but Alexandrine. The magical girl who had helped her before, who she had met not long before Shinigami's events. She didn't want to be discovered there by just any magical girls. Thankfully, the voice that came up was Jumi's, making her drop her head back on the pillow with a sigh of relief. Slowly, depending on if Alexandrine was awake or not, Mitsuko proceeded to get up and take a sheet for herself to cover up before going to open the door slowly, just enough to look at who was behind it. "G-good morning...", she said to them.

Nymphia herself was behind Jumi and only had a smile with the limited sight but quickly understood that she should give them some space, moving to the side to wait. Mitsuko looked back toward where Alexandrine would be at that moment, "I-It's Jumi. Maybe it's best we dress up...", the valkyrie would tell her night partner who probably had recognized Jumi's voice if she was awake. Otherwise, Mitsuko would go and make sure that she would wake up but left the door opened, trusting the two behind it anyway. She was not afraid to be seen naked by any of them, not after what they all had done or what they witnessed when Shinigami had unashamed sex with her in front of all. She was getting used to it all...

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Alexandrine was half awake when she heard Jumi’s knock and words.  She slept about as well as could be expected.  But her various troubles returned to mind.  No word from Emi.  She would soon have to look for at least Rin, if not Emi.  Try to figure out what happened.  Then decide if she wanted to approach Elie, if Exzel did not call for her first.  There was much to do, she would have to break off on her own soon.

For now though, she stood, got dressed fairly quickly.  She was sure Jumi was wondering what she and Mitsuko did, but was unlikely to openly ask.  She would leave Jumi wondering.  Though Jumi saw the restlessness in her sometimes ally, friend of sort’s eyes.  “I’m sure we won’t be hanging around here too much longer.  Other than maybe giving anyone who needs it a chance to eat or cleanup…though I intend to wait until I’m home to shower, which my new roommate could do too, if she wants.  You have a lot to deal with.  If you want to go off, don’t feel pressured to hang around.”  She offered Alexandrine, as she was still dressing.  “I may do that, at least in a few minutes.  After things settle down, might check on how you all are doing.”  She answered, curious to see how Jumi handled a proper relationship or living with people, and letting Mitsuko know she might see her again at least fairly soon.

[Warning]

Mitsuko went to change as well, dropping her sheet with no hesitation to then dress in her clothes, listening to Jumi's words. Her plan to get a shower or something could indeed wait. With what they had done and more importantly, where they had done it, she was still fairly clean for the time being. But a shower upon moving felt nice. "I may do that, yes... We still have to bring Shinigami with us. And Nall... I may call my mother later. It's best nobody knows where to find me for now.", she would tell them, while trying not to look too shy with her body. Still, she didn't know yet if Jumi had planned anything for their exit. Could a portal even be used? Surely they would not just walk out the door. That would not work.

As Alexandrine spoke of perhaps visiting later, Mitsuko hoped that they would all find a sort of peace when that would happen. Mitsuko still needed to grow stronger. For now, though, she turned to her night partner when she was more covered, "Thank you for the night, Alexandrine... I had a good time.", she told her softly, playing by Jumi's rules and seeing it as nothing but a nice thing to enjoy. "I would not mind having another night like this another time... And perhaps, we can do more, too...", she spoke more quietly at the end, not trying to hide things to Jumi or anything. "We should head back to her, now... I hope she didn't cause any troubles.", Mitsuko said with some concern, probably worried for the fox.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Interesting wording.  Some of it implied they went rather far, some might have been more innocent.  Or maybe they did some but planned to go further?  Jumi was not too surprised it was left a little vague.  But she left it alone for now.  Maybe she would try to get details out of Mitsuko later, maybe they were busy with things. She simply nodded at that and looked to Alexandrine.  “If you want to do it alone this time, I don’t blame you.  But don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it, when you decided to put an end to the damned demon-rabbit.”  Offering help with Zorn was a sensitive thing, considering what happened last time, but she made the offer anyway.

Alexandrine nodded to Jumi, then Mitsuko, and finally Nymphia.  “Maybe we will.”  She said to Mitsuko’s more pleasant offer.  Then looked to Jumi silently for a moment, before answering that.  “We will have to see.”  After that she stepped out of the room.  “Good luck, you two have a big challenge, but maybe you can pull it off.”  She stepped off, heading into the hall, to look for Rin at least.  Maybe see if Hikaru was around, before looking for Emi some more.

Jumi watched Alexandrine head off.  “We checked on them a moment, before coming here.”  She addressed Mitsuko’s concerns.  “She seemed fine, but both of them might be getting a bit restless.  But now is the trickier part.  The building is empty enough, it probably won’t be too hard.  But will have to see what to do about getting them home.”

[Warning]

Mitsuko was hearing of the demon rabbit but she wasn't quite aware of who it could be. Could a rabbit really be demonic? Hard to say... A certain fox was cute but it didn't mean that a rabbit would be in this world of magic. It wasn't very surprising that maybe something that didn't seem cute was but something that sounded cute was not. What Jumi said didn't make it sound cute at all, though. An enemy of Alexandrine, even. Perhaps if she was stronger, she could be of help too but Mitsuko didn't want to interject in that conversation. Instead, she gave her a smile for now as response to what the diamond sorceress had told her. The rest of the day was most likely going to be a challenge indeed...

After Alexandrine was gone, Mitsuko was surprised to hear about the two other's recklessness. She could see Shinigami try and do something dumb but Nall seemed to do fine, although he loved to fly around. "Restless? They have not done something bad, have they...? But sure, maybe we can ask Shinigami to take us out. How will we bring them to your home, though?", she asked, wondering how it would be possible to sneak the fox out. Portals alone were not the most subtle thing but not only that, it made sense that Shinigami could only go where she knew. None of that would be usable for this plan. "This won't be easy...", she concluded, thinking that they would not have it simple for this part.

Nymphia finally reappeared and gave them a playful smile, "I may have a way... It won't be the most subtle way but I think it will work. My magic will come to your help once more before we part.", the ribbon girl said with a certain glee. Mitsuko blinked as she finally noticed her presence, wondering what that is about, "Can you really help us? Do you have teleportation? Not a way to fly, I hope. Even if I could do this with my wings, I doubt I'd be strong enough to carry Shinigami...", she thought but Nymphia shook her head, "No, no flight or teleportation. But I can make use of mist... I will cover the city in it and you can sneak your way out. It won't be easy but it will be fun, right?", she said with a smile.

“She has not done anything yet.  But was feeling pretty confined.  Nall is looking for some fresh air too.”  Jumi reassured Mitsuko there was no issue yet, though allowing Shinigami some space/freedom to move was another thing they would have to figure out.  “Unfortunate Diamond had her own stuff to take care of, her powers certainly could have helped.  Might have been able to borrow her van until the night as well to sneak them in…going to have to get more creative.”  She thought out loud, trying to consider options.  This was not going to be easy.  But maybe it was worth considering a way to avoid the return home until the night.  Or maybe mid-day, when most people would be out.

She listened to Nymphia as she thought about these things.  “…That is an option.  Will work at least most of the way.  Just have to be careful in the halls, once we make it back and go inside.” Her own powers were not so much of a help here, especially if she had to carry someone.  “Maybe it will entertain Shinigami.”  She said with a small smile and shrug.  Anything to give her a little positive excitement was probably for the better.

[Warning]

Mitsuko breathed a sigh of relief as she heard that everything was fine for now but then, they found themselves with no real ideas until Nymphia gave one. A mist that would cover the city? That could work. Once outside the city, they would be on their own. "Maybe we can ask her to open one of her gates during the mist... But how will that work? Won't everyone panic?", Mitsuko asked while Nymphia shook her head, "My mist is not like just any mist... I think it will be known who made it. I will not be able to stay around you while I cast it. I will be heading to the front of the convention, outside. I will give a small spectacle. The mist will not hurt but it will be everywhere. When you see it, go.", she warned then left.

Mitsuko stood there for a second then looked at Jumi. "I think this is our cue, isn't it? We should go tell Shinigami and Nall about it then prepare for it...", the schoolgirl would ask before heading to the room where she remembered last seeing Shinigami and Nall. At present, the fox girl was laying on her front side on a bed, apparently napping for the time being while Nall was sitting on the bed, close to her leg. Nothing to do now and neither had any idea of what the plan was. Restlessness, depending on who it concerned, was indeed high at the moment. The both of them were a little stuck in a limbo of either sleeping or staying awake and waiting. Boredom might soon get to them if they didn't leave that room.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Jumi nodded led the way back to the other room, finding Shinigami and Nall, thinking it was a little cute watching Shinigami sleep like that.  It reminded her a little of thoughts from back in Shinigami’s house.  That amusing fantasy she had.  “Hopefully she won’t be too bothered passing time like this other days at least in the short term, but I suppose one of us should wake her up.”  While she was not looking to start anything serious, Jumi found it hard not to be tempted to wake her up in a playful manner.  Not necessarily the best choice to be the one to do it.  She looked to Nall.  “We’ve got an idea.  That will help at least a good chunk of the way.  Should be ready to begin the trip your new home.”  Her home, now the home of everyone here except Nymphia.  It might be a little crowded, but she was looking forward to it.  At least they would ready when Shinigami woke up.  Maybe the talking was enough to wake her, otherwise, maybe Mitsuko had a cute way to wake her, that was not as likely go as far as she would.  “You can wake her up with a kiss, if you want.“. She half joked to Mitsuko.

[Warning]

Mitsuko eyed Jumi as she said that one of them should wake her up. It was a little hard to avert her eyes but at least the fox was not showing anything in that position except her paws if anything. Her tail was hiding anything potentially inappropriate. Nall himself looked excited to finally leave the place, not that it was a bad place or anything but being stuck at one place forever was getting boring. "An idea sound better than no ideas at all. I'm ready to leave anytime.", he said with some enthusiasm. But first, Jumi had other plans in mind when it concerned the way to wake the fox. Something that the valkyrie should have seen coming but she was too busy looking for the moment. Waking her up with a kiss...?

Mitsuko stared at Jumi, wondering if she was serious. Even if the fairy was joking, Mitsuko could hardly tell and it was not like she didn't want to do it. "A-alright.", she let out shortly, moving closer to the fox, confirming that she was indeed sleeping or napping. Moving closer, climbing on the bed, Mitsuko hesitated for a second before she leaned close and gave Shinigami a kiss. The fox in question did not wake right away but it certainly lead to it, making her turn around some before she opened her eyes, almost instantly smirking at the sight. "What a pretty thing to wake up to... It's been a while. You're not trying to get something from me, are you?", she asked, making Mitsuko blush, "N-no...!", she replied.

Mitsuko moved back, having a better sight of Shinigami but she tried to keep focus. "W-we are leaving soon. In fact, Nymphia has an idea so it's best we tell you... She said she will cover the city in mist. You should get dressed...", the valkyrie explained nervously, making Shinigami look around before she nodded and slowly got up from the bed. Only after she stretched herself did she call upon her magic to summon her usual bra and panties, imagining that covering her naughty bits was what was wanted out from her. "Now what, we leave through the main door or through here...?", she said before she cast a portal in the room, surprising Mitsuko and Nall. At least, they could see that it lead to the roof's top.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Mitsuko actually did it.  That was pretty cute.  Shinigami’s reaction was nice as well.  All the pieces were together now, they could prepare to move, but Shinigami had a little surprise for them.  Jumi looked through the portal.  “…Would be an easier way to get out of the building…”. If only it was possible to go the whole way with one of those.   But if Shinigami could still do this, maybe she would not be as confined to the apartment after they got there the first time, she could maybe slip in and out safely after all.

”Getting down might not be awkward.”  The issue was Shinigami.  Could she get down on her own.  Jumi was sure the old Shinigami could, but it was a little uncertain what she was still capable of.  She could probably carry her down.  “If nobody has complaints, or other ideas, that may be the best option.  She said, stepping towards the portal, but not yet entering.

[Warning]

Shinigami watched the other ones with her, leaving the portal open for their use, "This will be just fine. No one will see us above unless they fly.", she said while Mitsuko thought about it for a moment but nodded and went through. "I am not as worried about getting down as I am about leaving with Shinigami...", the valkyrie said, wanting her to be safe while they escaped. Nall followed her closely. The view there was pretty, at least. Mitsuko was at least amazed on this one side of things. She was not the kind to go on roofs so casually, normally. Shinigami would wait that they went through before she went herself, closing the portal behind her as long as Jumi also followed. "It's good to be outside...", she would comment.

Now, they had to figure what to do but the answer would soon come to them. A strange light shone from the front of the building before a kind of fog started spreading from that point. From their point of view, a pink mist of sort started invading every streets and alleys around, covering the entire city slowly in magic fog. Nothing of it however was harmful to anyone, if anything would be felt at all. It was not bad to breathe it either. "Is that... Well, this is unexpected and a little pretty. It will cause everyone to stop and have to wait until it's gone. What do we do...?", Mitsuko asked, wondering what would be the best plan from there. Shinigami smirked and pointed toward other roofs, "Jump. Fly. Do as you wish.", she said.

Mitsuko stared at the fox, "W-wait, I can't do anything like that yet... Well, not fly anyway.", she nervously mentioned. Nall looked like he was trying to think of something before a figurative lightbulb lit up in his mind, "You may not fly but you can jump high, I've seen you do it before when you trained. And with my help, you could still glide...", he said with a certain pride but soon looked at Jumi, "You can fly, right...?", he then asked curiously. Mitsuko wasn't sure if she could do all that but she looked at Jumi as well, "What do you think...? Should we go over the city or find a way to go down instead...? That mist might help hide Shinigami but we will have to find our way out, too. At least it would hide her.", she told the fairy.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Jumi stepped outside, took a breath.  It was a little nice, after spending a few days in one building or another.  She looked up and watched Nymphia do her work.  This would certainly help, for at least part of the trip.  Though they would have to improvise and figure somethings out as they went.  She transformed, released her wings.  "Not just called the fairy for my appearance...that said, I can, but only so long and so high.  Won't be able to fly the whole trip."  She walked over to the edge of the roof, looked ahead the best she could.

"Sooner or later, we'll have to go down.  But maybe we should get some distance from the building.  The closer we are, the more likely people will be looking around to try to get a final glimpse of any of us leaving.  Even with the mist, better to stay a little more out of sight."  She looked to Mitsuko.  "Never did get a chance to spend as much time at the activities with you as I would have hoped.  But we can consider this another way for you to get used to your power.  Moving in new ways.  You may want or need to in a fight.  Let you make the first move, catch you if I have to.  I will stick close behind you until it looks like you get more comfortable with such things."  Mitsuko might not get hurt if I she missed a jump while transformed.  But, especially with the mist, hopefully this idea would make her more comfortable.

[Warning]

Shinigame kept looking at the area around, with buildings of different heights but some still reachable at their level. "No need to fly all the way. Go from one to another. How high can you jump...?", she asked this specifically to Mitsuko, having heard her. The valkyrie tried to remember her training but the first step was to do her transformation first, which she did as she remembered it. With a bright light, she changed into new clothes and wings forming, being the same length as before this time. "I think I can make it but if I can glide, it would be easier...", she commented, hoping she could do this. Nall went to land on her shoulder. "Come on, I will hold you but if you fall, we fall. Move your wings, Mitsuko.", he told her.

Mitsuko, tried doing what Nall said and her wings moved, almost inherently.  The issue was if they could lift her but they didn't need to this time. If she jumped and glided, they would just need to hold her in the air long enough. Nall, as he watched her, continued, "Jump like you did before then beat your wings in the air... It's okay if you don't fly like me yet. If you can slow your fall, you'll land on the other side just fine. Don't panic and focus on where you want to go. You'll do fine.", he said in a comforting way. The problem now was that she needed to jump off a building. Well, she had went through a wall before... At most, she would be hurt if she fell. Jumi would catch her too, probably. "A-alright.", she simply replied.

Shinigami eyed them before she took a few steps back. "I hope you're ready because I need to wake my body up. Follow me.", she stated while testing her paws on the roof a bit before she dashed ahead to leap from the edge of the roof. As calculated, she landed on the next roof across the street and while the sound implied that she landed a little roughly in her state, she turned around and waved for them to follow. "W-wha... She can't fly but her legs make her jump. Nall, we're going after her. Jumi, please watch my back...", the valkyrie said before she also readied, thinking only about making the jump, going after Shinigami, trusting in Jumi. "Don't think about the leap... Just do this...", she said to herself quietly.

After a little movement of wings to reassure herself, Mitsuko then dashed as well, mustering all the strength of her legs and went for the leap. The height of her jump was impressive but the curve would not allow her to make it by it alone. Shinigami kept a serious focus toward her but didn't move just yet. Nall's voice could be heard as they reached the peak of her jump though, "Get these wings moving if you want to live, Mitsuko! Ahead, not back. Glide!", he shouted, gripping her to not fall. Mitsuko did that as she perceived Nall's shout like a green light for it. Her wings then beat the air but while she did not manage to fly yet, it did slow down her fall, giving her short air jumps that didn't look anything like gliding.

Still, she managed slow her fall enough to let go when she'd land near Shinigami who sighed in subtle relief. "That was... cool. Or even, amazing right? I don't think I did this right, though...", she voiced, almost out of breath. Nall was scared for a bit but a success was a success, "Your wings can't glide all that well... You're still new at this. But you managed to keep yourself from falling down. This is good practice. Let's do it again...!", he shouted in an excited manner. Mitsuko, however, looked back to see if Jumi had followed yet or soon followed. She didn't mind going for it again but if she had been her normal self, the adrenaline might have killed her right there. Being stronger and winged felt so strange to her. So new.
