[...

Hesitates. Briefly. Then, nods.]

I'll bring one.

[She steps forward to press her fingers against the helmet, lightly, fondly, comforted by this---]

Re: ???

[infiniteregress]

[Then turns to the table, and stares down at her work]

[In a murmur:]

Perhaps... we really are trying to do the impossible, my knight.

[She looks down at the black shards as she says so]

Re: ???

[mirroronthewall]

[Raises hand. Makes a cutting gesture.]

No.

Still doable.

You have. Sacrificed too much.

For it not to be.

[Hand touches her shoulder.]

Will bring you. The materials.

Next attempt. Successful.

Re: ???

[infiniteregress]

[She stays quietly in place, almost cradling the black shards, hunched over--- until the hand touches her shoulder, and she looks up again]

If we could separate the mirrors from---

[suddenly, her head jerks around, as she's noticed they're not alone]

Re: ???

[infiniteregress]

[this would be about the time that Cowboy and Coin come crashing in from the above floor.]

[Aaaaaand, Armin, Kaito, and Crobat all tumble in from a secret passageway.]

[mirroronthewall]

. . .

[Turns head. Sees them all.

Black sparks crackle over armor. Approaches them. Hands make fists--

Re: ???

[mirroronthewall]

[Foot slips. Drops to one knee. Posture slackens again.]

[Low growl escapes helmet. Voice echoes. Throughout tower.]

GET IN HERE.

INTRUDERS.

[Unhappy. Understatement.]

Re: ???

[carptricks]

[ah]

[well]

[shit. so much for stealth. Dark Helmet drops to the ground and sends out the warning, and Kaito's hand darts to the hilt of his rapier]

Nyssa.

[addressing her, because of course he is, because she is the one who controls her minions]

We didn't come here for a fight.

[endsintheocean]

We really didn't!

[Holding up his hands LOOK HE IS AN UNARMED COCONUT]

The door was open and we were curious, that's all. We did not intend to intrude on your privacy!

[infiniteregress]

[Nyssa looks furious]

[to say the least]

[and she's clutching her black shards protectively]

How did they get in here---

Re: ???

[primalforce]

Maybe you didn't, but I sure as hell did.

[ His grip tightens on his riot shield.

He's got a bone to pick with you. ]

Re: ???

[carptricks]

Have you guys ever thought that many talking things out instead of trying to use brute force would be much more well received?!

[he takes a step back, 'cause yeeeeah he is well aware of that bone's existence]

Re: ???

[reguilded]

[And he's there in an instant, all of the beyond human Guild speed reflecting that of Rook himself.

His lightsaber is already out.

He does not look amused.

This doesn't bode well where his equally ridiculous Guild strength is concerned for the people he's unamused at.]

Re: ???

[primalforce]

[ Ochre teleports into the room, riot shield in hand. ]

How the hell'd they get in here?

Re: ???

[mirroronthewall]

IRRELEVANT.

[Speaking to both Kaito and Ochre.]

BRING THEM TO ME.

Re: ???

[primalforce]

On it.

[ He bounces his shield in his hand, and starts approaching the intruders. ]

Maybe if ya hold still, this won't hurt as much.

Re: ???

[anewboy]

[WELL SOMEONE LANDED ROUGHLY. And he's giving a groan before wincing as he gets up and eyes widening at the helmet dudes exclamation]

Oh great

[Aaaaaand another groan]

Re: ???

[brakeup]

[idk about Kaito but he is ready and willing to punch and/or shoot her and her minions as necessary, holding his gun up-]

[but he pauses when Dark Helmet goes down. Attacking an enemy unable to fight is another thing. He'll ask the question everyone is thinking instead.]

What are you trying to do with those shards?

Re: ???

[mirroronthewall]

SILENCE.

[Points towards him. Close to roaring.]

GET HIM.

Re: ???

[primalforce]

[ Well, you heard the boss.

Ochre turns towards Crobat, bouncing the riot shield in his hands before teleporting the distance between them, swinging the shield overhanded towards him, blunt edge first. ]

Re: ???

[otay]

[ and ANOTHER teleports in, it's a party!!

he's got his Nyssa-loaned sword out, pointing it right at the intruders. ]

The idiots got this far! Finally, some action.

Re: ???

[primalforce]

Yeah, and who the hell let them in?

Re: ???

[myhouse_myrules]

[Falling through floors is NOT his idea of a fun time. Especially when that causes a bit of pain but how's that saying go? Walk it off. Or y'know, something like that. However, seeing the helmet... yeah, he's going to just...

Stay away. This was NOT good!]

Re: ???

[anewboy]

Weee should probably try runnin'.

[JUST A SUGGESTION. BECAUSE. Y'KNOW.]
