"It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack, not rationality."

[There's a familiar girl walking the streets of Luceti today with an intense, focused expression, newly returned from her mallynapping. But those who know her will quickly realize that something is very off. Very, very off.

The more innocuous difference is that she's taller, with longer hair and a more mature face, though she still wears her yellow-and-black striped jumpsuit. She's also toting around a katana -- an odd choice, considering her weapon of choice as a Hero.

Ah...Heroes and HeroTV. That's where things start to get interesting with this one. If you come up and talk to her, maybe you'll find out just how interesting they are.]

[The Bride of Heroes is through with talking. She is not compromising on this -- she wants your head on a platter and she's going to get it. She is angry at the utter betrayal of her ideals and her friends...because it's easier than grieving over it.

Pao-Lin smashes her frozen hands into a nearby lamppost, finally shattering the ice and freeing her grip. She rushes Kazooie again.]

/hoping this tag is okay, sob

[talontrot]

[Well, Kazooie is angry too, as a fellow hero. This isn't fair. She did nothing wrong this time.

Only the Malnosso did. And now Kazooie is being punished for it.

There are only seconds to react, now, and Kazooie hurts a little inside when she does this - but she has to, she has to fight back, she can't just let Pao-Lin hurt her even if it is her friend -]

I'm sorry!

[She means it, even as she spits the Fire Egg.

... It'll hurt, if it hits. It sets the target on fire, after all, and even cartoony flames hurt.]

/it is more than okay, LMFAO (and mild compared to what we're actually planning)

[lightningbride]

[Holy shit, that was definitely not expected. Pao-Lin swings her sword at the last minute, slicing the projectile in two. Another slash fires a whip of lightning in Kazooie's direction.]

oh yes indeed 8|;;

[This time, Kazooie is ready, and though the shock dances through her system, she mostly shakes it off - it hurts, yes, but not enough to throw her off.

Retaliating with another volley of Fire Eggs - this time, though, she aims slightly lower than Pao-Lin, intending to set the ground on fire as well for a distraction. While that's happening, she'll high-tail it out of here, hopefully...]
