Consolidating RP Blogs

Swan looked over the woman in front of her. She was intmidating, to say the least. Was the Precure going to fight her directly? Swan gulped at the thought. Well, if she had vines, it was best to have something sharp to cut them with.

“I am Northa, former denizen of Labyrinth, and former servant of Lord Moebius.” She introduced herself, her expression unflinching even as Swan manifested her rapier. “But now my ambitions are much grander than just that.”

Tsubasa’s eyes widened as she felt the coldness of Nayuta’s hand. Also, there were vines wrapping around her hand. Tsubasa had been right all along. The woman was truly hostile. The blonde was done for- if she had elected to use her dominant hand. Which she didn’t. Rather, it had not been taken away from her bag.

As the girl pulled out the transformation item, and forced herself free of Nayuta’s vines, only a slight expression of surprise crossed the woman’s face. Shielding her eyes from the brilliant light of the transformation, she took a step back, a wicked smirk on her face.

Nayuta was once again speaking the truth. There was no denying that. Tsubasa didn’t question why the woman kept her answer vague.

“Very good. I’m glad to hear that, Mizuno Tsubasa-san.” Nayuta said, her grip on the girl’s hand tightening as she spoke. Her hand was cold, almost inhuman- but that would probably be the least of Tsubasa’s worries, considering that there were tendrils of rotted vines creeping up from Nayuta’s hand, from underneath her sleeve, wrapping around Tsubasa’s own hand.

Tsubasa let her guard down for a second when she saw Nayuta smile. It looked genuine enough. Maybe she wasn’t secretly planning on attacking her after all.

“I come from a parallel world, a world that’s connected to this.” Nayuta said, keeping her answer as vague as possible. “But where I am from is not as important as what I can do for you, Mizuno Tsubasa. You are feeling lost and directionless, are you not?”

Those words were true. Tsubasa couldn’t deny that. Although the woman in front of her was a fortune teller, the blonde couldn’t help but feel very uncomfortable. How much else could this woman figure out? The girl kept her hand near her bag, prepared to transform at the slightest sign of danger.

The girl was clearly on her guard- Nayuta could sense that much. It wasn’t exactly hard to tell, honestly, she wasn’t very good at disguising her own body language.

Tsubasa blinked in surprise. How did the woman know her name? Or what was troubling her? How much else did she know? There were secrets that the blonde was already bad at keeping. She had to stay on guard.

“I see.” Nayuta said, closing her eyes after a moment. “All around you, you see people who already know what they want to do with your future. Most likely they’ve all already begun taking steps to achieve their dreams, leaving you behind in the dust.”

How did she end up here? Tsubasa didn’t know. All that she could confirm was that she was at a slightly suspicious house with a stranger. The blonde didn’t mind strangers, though. The woman didn’t seem threatening.

“I am Kita Nayuta.” Nayuta supplied her with the alias she had taken as a human. At first, she had thought such a thing unnecessary- but lately her human form had been proving to be more and more useful for luring people in and getting their guards down. “And your name is Mizuno Tsubasa, is it not?”

“And you are only one Precure. By yourself, you are powerless.” Northa observed simply, her expression not changing as Peach charged towards the Sorewatase with a kick and a punch. Though it did not defend itself against the attacks, they didn’t appear to do much to it- rather, it seemed to absorb much of the damage.
