"Same... not the goddess part, but more of bounty hunter stuff," Lapis says while standing off to the side, knowing that ever since she became involved in unsavory work, she's been restless non-stop.

"Not a bother, dear", Bayonetta replied. Though, she realized, possibly because of the circumstances of their arrival, the state of the city, and that the seemed to be without direction or clues...Kalifa said:
"But I am under the suspicion now, that whatever is in store for us, is already out of our control. Considering we are without the ability to find our intended target and without means to communicate with headquarters. We may very well have to play one more murder game to defeat Akibahara."

To Shiki, she shrugged a little. "It's just the name of someone I once knew. You mentioned Mystic Eyes, and it reminded me of her. And your similar names..." She looked down in thought for a moment, adopting an apologetic look when looking back up at Shiki. "Doesn't matter, I guess."

Well that was troubling. More to the point... it wasn't exactly her problem.Bayonetta said:
Or was it?
This demon's mere presence had likely been what had pulled her to this world as opposed to another. If its goals were multiversal domination... that would include her own. Eventually.
Plus
"Does this coalition possess magic?"
If they did, they may very well be her ticket out.
And if she helped slay a crazed demon lord, she'd hope she'd be affoarded at least a ticket back home

Ridley nodded once again as Joseph listed off his powers, still seeming pretty calm and bored. She did seem a little amused by Joseph's ice cream comment.. But not much more. "Hm. You seem more like a.. cake, kinda guy to me," she joked, golden eyes gleaming. "You all are making me sooo envious with all this power talk." Definitely sarcasm right there. Though, Ridley had (un)admittedly felt envious of her 'Cuz; more than a little. The amazing chosen one who'd broken their family curse? The same curse that made Ridley be claimed for dark, against her will? The beautiful, perfect, Natural.
Ugh. Just the thought made Ridley sick.. And sad. Maybe that was why she'd grown so far from Lena; she was hurt that her cousin had what she couldn't. What had been stolen from her the day she'd been claimed for dark. That day.. She'd had so many things stolen from her. Her family's love, all chances of being well-liked, any chance she'd ever have of actually starting a family or having a real lover..
All because of that damnable curse.
On the other hand.. Teresa was still clearly in something of a daze.
"H-huh..?"

Claire shook her head at Aqua. "You're within your right. People like us, we have to pry a little." Despite that, even the most truthful of people sometimes turned out be hiding terrible secrets. She would have known. Perhaps those that kept themselves somewhat guarded were easiest to trust. "Aqua, please, don't apologize for trying to be understanding. I'll tell you if you've gone too far."
To Shiki, she shrugged a little. "It's just the name of someone I once knew. You mentioned Mystic Eyes, and it reminded me of her. And your similar names..." She looked down in thought for a moment, adopting an apologetic look when looking back up at Shiki. "Doesn't matter, I guess."
"Huh? You mean... she has Mystic Eyes too? Well, with the kind of people I know, I suppose that's not too strange, but still... same name as me, huh? Jeez, that'd be pretty freaky if they turned out to be specifically the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception like I do," Shiki commented in response to Claire, pocketing his hands with a breath, "Unless you mean to tell me she would also go on about seeing lines of death that no one else could see, hmm?" He'd ask somewhat light-heartedly, before examining the look on her face, as though she had some sort of aversion to him. Or something like that. Either way, it caused him to frown a bit, and it bothered him a bit, "Jeez, don't give me that look. Alright? Look, I guess I was wrong about you, so there. Ah, sorry... for giving you trouble back there."
Ach, what a pain for him. Maybe he shouldn't have brought it up, but in the end, he'd rather not stay uneasy with someone he, in actuality, barely really knew for no good reason. If he could help it, he'd rather get along.
Heh, either way, I suppose this Claire couldn't have been a Traitor in the Game she was in. That'd just be ridiculous. Two Claires being Traitors in these Murder Games. Who would ever fathom that?

Shiki said:
He kept quiet when Claire was talking to Aqua about her past experiences in a Murder Game that was not the one he was from, thinking about how truthful she was, before she would focus her attention towards him.
"Shiki... Ryougi?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow at Claire's question. Someone with his first name, but that last name? Interesting. "Well... back home, I had heard about the Ryougi clan before; they're part of the Demon Hunter Organization alongside the Asagami and Fujou families, but to answer your question... No, I don't know anyone like that. Why do you ask?"

MASTER AQUA
Listening to Shiki's conversation with Claire, Aqua couldn't help but wonder if the name of this person Claire asked about had anything to do with a murder game. These days, it seemed murder games just about connected everyone who knew each other outside of the multiverse. The games caused so many people, who were never meant to cross paths, to find each other. In some ways, it was a blessing. Had Aqua never fallen into a murder game she never would've met Aoko. But still, if the murder game never would have occurred, so many lives could've been saved...
"Ah, okay; thank you," Aqua replied to Claire. "My friends just used to tease me saying I was... motherly." She smiled. "If I am, I don't mean to be. It's just in my nature to try and... assist people and clean up messes." Aqua shrugged. "But anyhow, if you ever do need to talk, I'll be around. I'm a good listener and I'd never judge you. I had a close friend who... killed someone who was like a father to me. And yet, I've never judged him. I always try to stay neutral if I can. For every action taken, there is a reason behind it."
After a moment of speaking, Aqua realized Abel was lingering behind them. "You okay?" she asked him, wondering if he felt awkward in their current situation. She stood with the group, waiting for a reply, while clenching and unclenching her fists--flaking a bit of dry blood off her fingers as she did. Her hands were starting to ache. Aqua always put off healing herself for as long as she could, but if the pain didn't fade she knew she would have to cure herself fairly soon...

'Well, we're all still looking forward to seeing your skills on the Battlefield. Still being mysterious about what you are and what you do?' Joseph then looked at Teresa. 'Are you alright, Death Angel?' He felt uncomfortable calling her Teresa-it bought back too many bad memories. Was she still suffering the trauma induced by the Flaming Vortex enchantment he used earlier?

"Right now, we appear to be scrounging around the ruins of a city." Kalifa said. "We haven't found any hints as to where we should go. No one has given any hints as to the whereabouts of the Arch Demon."Bayonetta said:
Kaku approached the group. "A Murder Game. That's what I was afraid of. But if this is the case, then its host has yet to show themselves."
"From what I've heard, some of them do." Kalifa said. "The woman known as Cereza or Bayonetta is an Umbra Witch. Or so I've heard. She possesses several magical skills which she uses in combat. From what I've heard, her power level may exceed any we've measured."Alice said:
Kalifa wondered what Fukorou would make of Bayonetta. What were Bayonetta's power levels? If Rob Lucci, the most powerful member of CP9, rated 4000, how would Bayonetta rate?

Aqua always put off healing herself for as long as she could, but if the pain didn't fade she knew she would have to cure herself fairly soon...
Left in his own world, Abel had been thinking back on the past and how similar his current situation was to the lockdown. Thrown into a crazy situation, left without understanding of the place I'm in... Man, I just can't catch a break... Well, at least I'm came on purpose to help others and there's no random hostile monsters this time. I just wish Atsuro was here. He would be able to connect to the internet and find a reason for this stuff going on... A soft sighed escaped him as he missed his best friend. Plus Yuzu and Midori would have brought smiles to our faces, Keisuke and Mari would have been voices of reason, Kaido would have my back in a fight, and Amane... He shook his head when the priestess came to his mind, "She would have been trying to help everyone here..."
It was then that he realized that Aqua was asking after him, "H-huh? Oh, y-yeah, I'm fine. Just remembering my old friends from the lockdown and thinking on how great it would be to have them back..." He shuffled his feet, trying to resist the urge to mention how awkward he felt here. Maybe I really should go back to Naoya. Aqua's got her own friends and I have mine... However, his eyes drifted down to her hands, and a realization hit him, "Aqua, are you still in pain?"

"Frank, my dear, these aren't all your little daughters, are they? Because if so, some is going to have to introduce you to some proper family planning."
@BarrenThin
His scowl deepened. "I'd prefer you didn't joke about me having children. No, Lisa is it. And she's only here because of multiverse bullshit." The old man didn't seem inclined to explain. Granted, she hadn't asked.

Booker had remained quiet as a few more people had joined their group, a fellow Murder Veteran as he called them. He nodded quietly at Bayonetta. However, his attention was peaked when they started talking of magicKalifa said:
"If I may interject, I possess Magic as well, well it's like magic." Booker corrected himself. "I'm also well trained with firearms and close quarter combat as well." Booker smirked, he didn't boast a lot, but it never hurt to tell others his skill set

"No," Aqua quickly replied to Abel, glancing away. Although Aqua was more than happy to assist others with their own pain, she didn't like to let hers own show. Ironically, Aqua didn't follow her own advice that she had given Claire. The blue-haired keyblade master was never open and upfront about her pain unless she had to be.
"I mean, well, maybe a little..." Aqua finally admitted, unfolding her hands. She winced looking at the cuts on them. "Guess I'd better heal them, huh? I shouldn't put it off for much longer." Without another word, Aqua's hands glowed a gentle green light. When the light faded, Aqua's hands were healed--not a trace of the cuts from before on them.
Sadly, however, healing her wounds fixed one problem but only created another. Aqua had exhausted a bit too much of her magic. The master had forgotten just how much the use of magic had put a strain on her last time she was in a murder game; and having used three spells in such a short amount of time tired her out. Not to mention, she had already been a bit tired from her late night training session she had at the Coalition before leaving.
Realizing her sudden fatigue, Aqua moved away from the group. "Excuse me," she mumbled, moving away from the others and quickly taking a seat on the ground. Short of breath for a moment, Aqua closed her eyes and said nothing. She just needed to rest for a few minutes.
