GYM Deluxe: Cross Tag Magica
<i>Another pair of girls would end up entering the building in a rush, a brunette girl with twin braids and freckles dragging along with her another girl with elegant, black curls. They looked slgihtly older than the two that were initially in the GYM, and the girl with long, curly hair was obviously not supposed to be spending her time here with all the complaining she's been doing.</i>
Girl 1: "Oh c'mon! It'll probably be fun! I've heard a lot about this place."
Girl 2: "You know damn well I was supposed to be at a meeting. I so could've spent a lot more time on the vacation cruise too!"
<i>They looked around, the brunette's eyes darting everywhere with excitement, while the curly haired girl's eyes seemed like they were scanning the place with skepticism...and familiarity. A wave of nostalgia hit her as she glanced towards the brunette.</i>
Girl 2: "Keilin. You've never been here. What made you come now?"
Keilin: "Oh, Malloryn, you've been here?"
<i>The curly-haired girl aptly named Malloryn had sighed out, her eyes now locking with the other pair in the establishment known as the GYM. She took off her shades and walked up to them, giving them a bow.</i>
Malloryn: "Sorry for the trouble. Do you two own this place?"
<i>Keilin, however, just shyly waved from behind her, visibly shaking a little in her shoes as she had finally caught on with the fact that there were other people in the establishment.</i>

<i>Malloryn seemed to be lost in thought once she had raised her head up, aptly shaking it and giving them a curtsy with her short, navy blue skirt. Keilin, however, was actually shivering a bit as she looked at the two, and how casually they are taking the sparring.</i>
Keilin: "Uhm, Mal, am I the only one worried abou-"
<i>Malloryn had slightly turned her head towards her, giving Keilin a bit of an irritated glance, which then she shut up and promptly responded with a nod, now indicating that she's just going to muster up some faith and confidence, since she is the one who dragged her over here anyway.</i>
Malloryn: "Ah right, my name is Malloryn. Over there, is Keilin. We're...great friends. It's just that I've been a bit busy as of late. My dearest older brother being the manager of a big company and all..."
<i>Once she had finished that statement, Keilin finally felt the need to go over there and talk to them herself, twirling one of her braids as she made some shaky eye-contact with them.</i>
Keilin: "Well, now that that's settled, as you can tell. My name is Keilin. You two already are getting fired up, so I don't see why we should stall any longer."
<i>The two girls finally decided to take their own positions on the ring, Malloryn on the side facing Homura with confident smirk, whereas Keilin is actually jittering a bit as she looked over towards Madoka.</i>
Malloryn: "I hope I haven't gotten rusty. You two can go first, it's my pleasure."
Keilin: "Mal, you're lucky you got the chance to fight!..and yeah, what she said. First move is yours."
<i>Despite the fact that the two seemed to not be ready for anything at all, Malloryn's posture would be seething with confidence and grace, while Keilin almost looked like she was sweating bullets. Either way, one thing was for certain, they were going to fight.</i>

<i>Malloryn scoffed, throwing her shades down on the ground and stomped on them, looking right at Homulily with a horribly smug grin and a glare that stares at the clock of Homura's summon..</i>
Malloryn: "Well then, let's show off, Hervor!"
<i>It was only then that a black opera mask with horns had appeared on her face, Mal's hands jerking towards the mask to rip it right off, revealing a summon of her own. That of a being covered in shadows that just screamed royalty. The being summoned had a flowing fur cape, and pale armor in which the colors simply shrieked. They had on a helmet that covered most of the head, but let out it's long, blonde hair. The one aptly named 'Hervor' immediately went to intercept Homura's summon, guarding her from the initial attack by putting it's arms out in front, revealing the blades that were hidden from her foe's view. However, it didn't really account for Madoka's thunder attack.</i>
Malloryn: "Try and do better, darling!"
<i>A deep voice said in a disappointed tone, a few medium jolts of electricity that came from Madoka's persona immediately darting back towards Madoka herself in retaliation. Hervor backed off, pushing away Homulily's guillotine blade, letting Malloryn rush towards the summon and thrust the sharp end of her parasol towards the summon as she jumped upwards towards the ceiling. Malloryn, now outfitted in a horribly lavish and darkly colored dress with a black chest plate that had a bit of an exaggerated bust size, was simply floating in the air as she let her parasol out, looking down at both Homura and Madoka. It was only then that a snap could be heard, and suddenly, the floor beneath Homura had started to heat up. An explosion of fire would occur seconds later, bringing Homura up where Mal is if she were to stay there. There was also the sound of firecrackers popping once the explosion had faded, letting small bursts of fire spread around the area, most likely hitting Madoka if she didn't dodge it.</i>
Keilin: "Don't forget about me!...help me, Mary..."
<i>The nervous girl said from across the room (at least not the persona summoning part), her eyes stop faltering as she glared at Madoka, her face now having a golden mask that had three eye-holes to represent that of a carnival mask. Like Malloryn, she ripped it right off in order to reveal her own summon as well. It was that of a feminine figure that was hunched back, carrying a horribly large and broken rectangular sword. It wore a dainty dress reminiscing a queen's as well, but it was all bloodied as there was a noticeably large blade that was stuck in the back of it's neck and it's head was simply just a bucket wrapped in cotton bandages, though it let it's unevenly cut and long red hair.</i>
<i>Keilin herself was dressed in a tight dress, with pauldrons and gloves that were also asymmetrical to one another. She carred two swords that seemed to be two seperate parts of scissors. The swords sliced the air, knocking away the two arrows that Madoka had shot towards her while also making an energy construct that had formed an X to be going towards Madoka in retaliation.</i>

<i>Keilin would immediately rush towards the door after Grimnir had busted through in an attempt to fix it, mostly to avoid conversation as well as pretend to do something helpful. Even though she has absolutely no idea how the door actually was put on in the first place.</i>
Malloryn: "Aw, that's precious. It shows how much you care for her..."
<i>Malloryn would drone on to reply to Homura's little explanation. Her eyes glancing back towards Keilin as she gave her a stare that would be enough to turn her into stone. However, Keilin just waves awkwardly back at them, and Mal just chuckles in advance.</i>
Malloryn: "Though, I admit, you two actually did very well in the fight. It was a nice surprise that waited for me when dear Keilin dragged me off from my little vacation."
<i>She takes some sugar from the bowl given to her, and pours it into her tea. Aftwerwards, she takes a sip, and sighs. Afterwards, Keilin would actually appear right next to Mal, facing Homura and Madoka.</i>
Keilin: "This has been fun, but I think we're going to go. Right, Mal?"
<i>Malloryn takes a bit of time to look at Keilin's friendly smile, and then stared back at Homura and Madoka as she drank all the tea she had gotten in their face, the tea most likely still being hot by the time she had gotten it. She raises from her seat, and simply gives them one last bow.</i>
Malloryn: "Right, I do think it's time to take part. Ta-ta!"
<i>and with that, they left out the door...at least, where there was space for a doorway, since Keilin couldn't actually bother with putting the door back.</i>

<i>Malloryn was utterly shocked at the shadows that had flew past her, not even having any time nor way to act, her eyes simply turned blank as she stared towards what would seem to be her imminent death. However, Keilin would easily snap her out of that trance, holding onto her hand in order to pick herself up.</i>
Keilin: "Awww, they're so cute toget-"
<i>It was only then that her head had jerked behind her almost as if she were an owl, facing Keilin with an icy cold stare that would stop her in her tracks, her boot rising up in order to try and stomp at Keilin's shoe. Keilin dodged this however, and she immediately stumbled back in fear, the impact from Mal's boot making a visible crack in the floor.</i>
Malloryn: "You and me are going to have to talk about this..."
<i>Her voice was as cold as her stare, and it had seemed to make the whole area silent, but it had passed quickly at the mention of tea. Malloryn giggled as she turned back towards the other two. She gave them a giddy little curtsy with her skirt, now a bit dirty from the fight, as were Keilin's clothes, who had let out a breath of relief after Mal's attention was thwarted away from her.</i>
Malloryn: "Right after we have ourselves a nice cup of tea! I do thank you for that, Homura-san! It'd be a delight to have some!"
<i>Keilin worriedly looked over at everyone else, and then spoke towards both Madoka and Homura as she gave an apologetic bow. Her words were a bit jittery, and Mal simply gave a little sigh in response.</i>
Keilin: "I'm, uh, sorry about that...I hope you can forgive me!"
GYM Deluxe: Cross Tag Magica
<i>Malloryn's confident smirk was immediately washed away, now replaced with a bit of a confused expression, which leads her enraged and off guard. Keilin immediately reacts badly to the noxious gases that have been brought into the cube, coughing up a storm from the inside.</i>
Malloryn: "Ugh, are you serious! Who even uses these skills!"
<i>She brought her hand downwards, making a gust of wind erupt from behind her, merely grazing her and bringing the noxious gases out of existence. As if this wasn't enough, a trail of ice crystals had made it's way around the tornado before it struck, breaking itself into multiple sharp ice stalactite crystals that would try and pierce Homura where she stood.</i>
Keilin: "What's...happening?..."
<i>Keilin fell onto the ground, but not before a sudden dark force had pulled down Madoka down onto the ground, jerking her downwards and making her fall onto her knees. This wouldn't be much of a problem if now she could clearly something burrowing itself through the ground.</i>
<i>If Madoka couldn't get herself back onto her feet, she'd be met with the same whip chain that was used to try and hit Homura, burrowing itself through the ground and attempting to hit Madoka directly with the sharp end of the square blade still intact coming straight for her first in an attempt to perform an uppercut. While it wouldn't impale, it'd surely make a hurtful impact.</i>
<i>Finally, the cube would take a bit of force from the tornado, not instantly breaking, but the sound of noticeable cracks were heard as clearly as a shattering glass window. After the messy impact that came from it, there would only be Malloryn standing, panting heavily as the others as she glared at them. Keilin was lying on her knees, letting out loud breaths from behind Malloryn.</i>

Keilin: "Oh god, no!...Help me, Mary!"
<i>Keilin was now shaking in her boots as she looked at the tornado that's coming her way. Her breathing became jagged, and suddenly, her two swords had formed together, a purple blade of magic erupting from it. She screeched, slamming it down on Madoka in order to take a potshot at her, not really knowing what else to do at the moment.</i>
<i>Right after that, her persona she desperately called "Mary" would stand beside her, hunching, looking down on the floor. The horribly big blade she was carrying would soon dis-assemble itself, forming into a heavy whip chain. It curved around like a snake, making it's way towards Homura as well in a bit of a clunky manner.</i>
Malloryn: "Hmm...impressive. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, dear Keilin is already getting flustered..."
<i>Malloryn however, was already in the air, pondering and casually floating with her parasol out. She decided that the only thing sensible to do was to try and get back to where Keilin was, and floated her way back to where she was.</i>
Malloryn: "Don't worry, this isn't too much of an annoyance."
<i>Her voice was calming, gentle, and quite honestly, not too fitting with her stature. But it was all Keilin needed to calm down, retracting her swords and letting them back into two once again. She looked towards Mal, nodding, and decided to step back a bit.</i>
Malloryn: "Alright, maybe we should try something else, shall we?"
<i>Once again, two snaps were heard, and then, a faint giggle at the end. Very suddenly, a massive dark cube had entrapped both Malloryn and Keilin, taking up half the room and stopping right in front of where the tornado was. However, a tall stake had fell from the ceiling, landing in the eye of the tornado. Once this happened, the stake erupted with electricity, bursting into a burst of thunder right in the middle of the tornado in order to try and make it explode in the middle of the room and hit the cube protecting Mal and Keilin, and try to directly hit Homura and Madoka.</i>

<i>Her eyes went blank, but not out of fear, but out of...something. It was a vague and unreadable look, but one could first assume disappointment coming from the girl.</i>
"Hmmm, why do I have a feeling I should know what's about to happen?"
<i>She closed her eyes and sighs out, flipping her curly hair to the side once again and taking on an even more bored tone. With a scoff, she continues, her heels clicking as she made her way besides Nanaka.</i>
"To think I gave up an appointment for this."
Destroyer of Worlds: Closing the Divide
<i>Another girl walks into the building, quietly humming as she glances over at mostly everyone in the room with her. A grin turns into a slight chuckle, which she then flips her long, curly hair aside to gaze at everyone else.</i>
"What fine people we have here. My name is Malloryn, I just attended for a little trip down memory lane, you see. Since this is the place I do remember the most. Even if I wasn't here most of the time..."
<i>She takes out a blue rose from god knows where, holding it in her hands as she took one more look at everyone. Though the girl was clearly fancy...this first impression also made her look very absentminded.</i>
Destroyer of Worlds: Closing the Divide
"Ah, that I'll do Nanaka. And uhm,"
<i>She throws her rose behind her and follows the man through, her own outfit now changing to look like that of a flowing, victorian gown. She had on an opera mask that covered her eyes and carries a parasol with a sharp tip.</i>
"Yes, I do in fact remember you too Mona. Glad to see you again."
<i>Malloryn gazes at the scenery that's presented in front of her, tapping her heel in a a slight bit of impatience. She checks her nails with her free arm and opens up her parasol in the other to give herself a bit of shade.</i>
"How quaint. A trip down memory lane, yet these are memories that I haven't even experienced myself."
