<i>The girl blinks, a little surprised that this man was this friendly. Then again, he may have seen weirder due to that &quot;Burner&quot; thing. She's equally surprised to see a certain one-man band...</i> Th-thank you... and you... <i>She points at Big Band.</i> I remember you. Where are we?

Alright... Ben. <i>She feels a bit... happy for some reason. She tugs at her mask a little as she speaks to the others.</i> I'm called Painwheel, but since Ben said his name... well, my real name is Carol. <i>It felt uncomfortable for her to say that. She's not entirely sure why.</i>

Filia...? <i>First Ben, now Filia... At least that was two familiar faces. But that's not too important at the moment. She pauses for a moment, as if expecting something to happen, then speaks.</i> I guess it's been a while since I've seen you. I just got here not too long ago... <i>The girl rubs her arm. She wasn't sure what to say, to be honest. Was Filia scared of her? What should she do? She shakes her head and focuses on the situation at hand.</i> Yes... A fight isn't what we nee- oh, damn it. <i>She growls a little and dashes forward, raising her blades in an attempt to parry the strike.</i><div class='edited'>(edited by Painwheel)</div>

<i>Well... time stop certainly derailed things. Involved a lot of sarcasm, too. Oblivious to what had just occurred, Painwheel lands by the burning girl and examines the object she had dropped.</i>

Your kind...? <i>As far as Painwheel can tell, this person is human in appearance. Other than an experiment such as herself, she has no clue as to what he could be...</i> I see. You can call me Painwheel. <i>There's a bit of an edge to her voice, but perhaps she's just being a little paranoid.</i>

You can let go now. <i>Eito's done enough. No reason for him to burn his hands. Painwheel's blades spin rapidly, and she launches herself into the air, hoping to get a better view of the blue-haired girl. Who's burning. That's gotta hurt. The object catches her eye, and she hovers down towards it.</i><div class='edited'>(edited by Painwheel)</div>

<i>Painwheel stands in front of Minato, blades ready to block any stray projectiles. She wasn't sure what the aura deal was, but the guy's defenseless. No reason to not keep him from getting stabbed. With Eito and Filia dealing with the strange girl, Painwheel waits for an opening to strike, should she need to...</i><div class='edited'>(edited by Painwheel)</div>

<i>The girl steps back, narrowing her eyes at the three strangers. The blonde-haired one is just strange, and the other two... potential enemies.</i> I'm just looking around. <i>Her voice is a bit rough, and her stitched-up mask moves a little as she speaks. The four blades attached to her back spin a little in anticipation, almost like a pinwheel.</i>

Nice to meet you, too... <i>Painwheel's red eyes dart over towards the blue-haired person nearby. She tenses up a little. They don't seem to be a threat, but they might not take Painwheel's monstrous appearance very well...</i>

<i>Painwheel shudders, feeling as if some thread had wrapped around her. But that feeling is gone now... The thrown knife, however, immediately makes her get into a fighting stance, her blades spinning like a saw.</i> What was-<div class='edited'>(edited by Painwheel)</div>
