Do be careful today. It would be such a shame for necks to be broken instead of crushed under foot as is proper. If wished, One would be quite pleased to demonstrate as new shoes [and the video moves to show what ne's talking about] do need to be put to use.

[filtered: Deities]

Greetings fair. One does beg forgiveness for the disturbance, but if allowed, One would ask a question or three. Or more.

An exacting taskmistress~

But high standards do offer the incentive of polishing one's performance.

[ ...Just ask Diva... ]

[indecent_butterfly]

It does. [Ne knows from experience.]

Try not to disappoint.

[hellinhigheels]

Perish the thought~

[ A Chevalier takes these matters very seriously. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

It has happened before.

[hellinhigheels]

Then we must endeavor to make sure it doesn't.

[indecent_butterfly]

Yes. You should.

Any preferences on just where the chase should partake? Or should it be a surprise?

[hellinhigheels]

I intend to.

... I do enjoy surprises~

[indecent_butterfly]

If you want. Where are you now so One will know where to start.

[hellinhigheels]

The Underground. Just outside the Circus Carnivore.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Hey Karl, did ne ever show you this neat little trick of nirs? The one where ne's showsup right next to you out of nowhere? If not, ne's doing it now. ]

1/2

[hellinhigheels]

[ Whoaaaaaaaa. ]

[ Where'd you come from? ]

[hellinhigheels]

[ Oh. Whew. Not an enemy. Kinda. ]

...For a minute I was going to launch an energy blast at you.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Kind of...]

You would have missed.

[Helps to be able to slip into walls and things.]

[hellinhigheels]

So you can teleport between locations.

[ Curious. ]

Yet not outside the City?

[indecent_butterfly]

Yes. [Kind of...] And no.

[And not very far inside as it's been dampened. Not that ne's telling him that.]

[hellinhigheels]

A pity. [ Lightening. ] All the same. It must be useful for exiting a sticky spot. Or two or three.

[indecent_butterfly]

Unlikely that One would still be here if One could. [Duh.]

That would be cheating. [That smile should be more than enough to show ne already knows this.]

[hellinhigheels]

Unless you had someone you'd prefer not to leave behind.

[ Someone whose name starts with a 'K' and ends with an 'A'. Has an 'I' and 'R' in the middle. ]

[ Onto more entertaining matters. ]

... You offered to chase, I believe~

[indecent_butterfly]

[...Maybe. Although he's just a close enough stand in for the one ne really wants.]

Not if it meant finding a way for everyone to go home.

[Well maybe not everyone.]

So One did.

[hellinhigheels]

Who cares about everyone?

[ echoechoecho ]

Do I get a headstart?

[...Hatter has the advantage of teleportation and all... ]

[indecent_butterfly]

Perhaps not everyone everyone. Just those of importance.

[To nem, which leaves out two particular angels.]

Are you admitting you need one?

[That would be cheating...don't you trust nem?]

[hellinhigheels]

[ Alas. Poor Raphael and Mika. ]

From the looks of things, I might.

[ Devils are not to be trusted. Or anyone else, for that matter. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

If you must.

[So very, very true. Ne looks over Karl for a moment, noting the skirt shouldn't given him any problems.]

No flying. One is helping practice in shoes.

[Ne knows what ne'd do if the situation was reversed.]

[hellinhigheels]

[ Flying or no, Karl still has the preternatural speed. And years of playing tag with Diva come in handy. ]

Very well.

[ Half-crouching, hands on floor, as if warming up for a sprint. ]

Fifteen seconds.

[ And away he goes~ ]

[ Whether Hatter keeps her word or not is another matter. But it should be interesting either way. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Speed doesn't work well if you can't handle the heels Karl. And someone has spent years in them...years.

And seconds are such a fun way to count the time aren't they? Do you just count one, two, three and so on? Or is there supposed to be a pause between each one? Either way it doesn't matter...ne'll hold to actually doing this on foot (that was the whole point) but waiting is another matter entirely.

Ne does let him get a little distance before taking off after him however.]
