"W-wait up!"
Karin chases William in hot pursuit.

Karin looks towards the guy, then looks around, whispering under her breath to Will.
_{"If he IS being followed, we should try to blend in, look around to see if someone IS following him. You go ahead, I stay behind you?"}

"Well, I don't know! I'm the beautiful goddess of healing and water, not strategy! Stupid showoff Megara with her stupid wargames...."

Meanwhile, Keith and Orobas continue their boxing match, Keith retaliating with a haymaker.

(Jarvis' Charisma activates!)

Orobas staggers backwards after retaliating with a single punch to Keith's gut, wiping some blood from his lip and spitting to the side.
"Haven't had a fight like that in years. Come on, hit harder, boy! I ain't got all day!"

Selene pops a heal on Kiri-I mean Kazuto. Sadly, magic allergies are a thing.

Selene heals Kazuto!
Kazuto is healed for 19 HP!

XP: 56/100

Bernie, for her part, looks incrediblly....distraught after the fight ends. She looks more than frazzled as she stares at where the monsters were but a moment before.

This whole thing was a mess. This definitely wasn't what she'd signed on for, not at all. Scarlet was going mad, Idunna was panicking, Lilly was panicking, and nothing was right.

All she wanted to do was learn to play the violin. Not....fight lightning monsters and suddenly find herself in the middle of what looked like a war zone having to fight for her life. That happened to TV show characters and characters in old manga. It didn't happen to people in real life. It shouldn't.

She robotically takes up a position in the phalanx, carrying on almost on autopilot.
"W-what's....going on?"

"No, I just saw that fight; those punks were my underlings, not that I cared about a bunch of good-for-nothings. I got a different reason to want to kick your ass."

"I've been pounding punks like you into the dirt since before your mother was born, boy! You're just another one on the pile!"

Serena does the one thing she's good for.

Serena heals Keilee!
Keilee regains 18 HP!

Meanwhile, Vlad does the one thing he wants to be good at.

Vlad performs Marcia!
Marcia may move again!

And finally, 42-1 does one of the many things he knows how to do.

42-1 heals Keith!
Keith regains 16 HP!

~Allies' Turn~
Kazuto moves forwards, unsheathing both of his blades.
"....was that a fucking Guilty Gear reference? Whatever, doesn't matter. You two just stay behind me and let me handle this. Can't be having my healers die on me, right."
Man, these guys don't stop coming, huh? Thought I cleaned out the place when I went through the dungeons to get out.

~Enemies' Turn~
"You look healed up to me! Come on, Piper!"
Orobas lands the first punch on Keith, delivering a well-aimed punch to the gut.

Orobas initiates!
Hit Rate: 77 to hit!
Hit: 43, hit!
Keith takes 8 damage!

Keith retaliates!
Hit Rate: 81 to hit!
Hit: 50, hit!
Orobas takes 9 damage!

Keith regains 5 HP from Sanjuro!

Orobas is a little slower than he'd like to be, and a little more open, and lets himself get smacked right back by Keith's gauntleted fist.

Lycia moves a little away from 42-1, but not directly in front of him, to give whoever would like to come in next some space. He's not talking, but from his aura, it about feels as if he's.....exasperated? If you can really tell that from the facial expressions of a hellhound anyway. Whatever it is, it's the same energy the group could often sense from Jarvis, Rosencrantz or any time from anybody whenever Serena opened her mouth.

Meanwhile, over in the kitchen, two werewolves meet the business end of Kazuto's swords.

Unfortunately for Kazuto, though, while finishing off the other werewolf, a mage manages to take the opportunity and nail Kazuto directly with a shard of ice while he's distracted.

Minor Magus of Envy A initiates!
Hit Rate: 94 to hit!
Hit: 92, hit!
Kazuto takes 8 damage!

Kazuto cannot retaliate!

He's not looking too great.
"I can do this....all day."
".....could use a....little help, though."

As Marcia, Jenkins and Shoes approach the kitchen, they are suddenly aware of several things.

Firstly, that there are demons occupying the kitchen.
Secondly, there are sounds of fighting going on in the kitchen.
And finally, that the demons are heading inside the kitchen to fight whatever's in there.

Either there's some stragglers who didn't get out yet, or some Good Samaritan decided to break in to help. Either way, this quick trip to the tea closet might be a little longer than expected.
