We Have All Been Genderflipped 2.0

"Yeah... But maybe we should discuss it with those two," He gestures towards Mikaela and Alexa with his head ", first. They seem to know this girl."

"Hello," He greets Mikaela.

The girl raises a blood covered hand to Mikaela. " Hey." Turning to her sister, she asks "How are you?"

*She opens her mouth, clearly about to say something, then rethinks her thoughts. Slowly, she reaches back and removes her shield from her back again, strapping it to her arm. She then double-rethinks her thoughts.*

"What if some'n er somethin's waitin' 'round a corner, or behind a door, an' they or it tries t' kill ya? Maybe ah shoul' go first, jus' in case..."

Erika, upon hearing more people enter, turns around and emits a hiss of despair, preparing to retreat for a bit more, in utter disbelief. "H-how in the world did you all find me so fassst?!?" She hissed, her posture leaned back, like she was trying to keep her distance like a child who did not want to eat vegetables as she involuntarily hisses a bit, her hair a mess for now, probably showing it as a sign that she did not get much time to relax, if any. Her location in the structure was more to the left of the front door and not near any doors. Clearly, she is definitely not in search of conflict, and is in fact, quite afraid with the group entering, also catching eye of Shiro and Kuro. "Thisss iss... hiss... not a good day for me!"

Nina turns around looking at the woman, smiling as she points at her footprints - which are deeper than her body would suggest them being.

"Clad in metal we stand, weapon in hand, staring at the opponent.", she whispers as armored gauntlets form on her hands.

*Deltora turns and stares at Erika for a few seconds. Her eyes show a trace of recognition...*

"...So ya weren't jus' me eyes seein' thin's, huh... Ey. Lis'n. We weren't goin' sp'cific'ly after ya, so no need t' get all antsy 'bout us, 'kay?"

*She flashes a glance at Nina, obviously wanting her to stand down, then focuses on Erika again. She still has her shield out, but she makes no move to either approach or get away from her. Instead, she stands there, looking rather calm despite everything.*

"I'm tired, hungry, and feel like I've been run ragged, sister.", Alexa replies before turning to Mikaela. "Ah, there you are, Mikaela..."

Eisen felt slightly uneasy to Asagami's grin, but after assuming it was just a harmless tease, she smiles and nods in agreement to Asagami's response. "I agree that we should."

She sees a good bit of the rest of the group get up too, and sees them interact with each other (Eh, not in the mood to talk with a crowd), as her eyes shift around to scan the place. But what caught her interest was the large mansion up ahead, no longer obscured by the fog. Eisen tilts her head in the direction of the mansion. If there's one thing she tended to do when lost, it was to go to the nearest building to ask around. "Maybe we could go over there to that mansion to ask around for help, and for shelter."

It's telling that Eisen doesn't feel like interacting much with the others at the moment, the introvert that she is. She holds her phone around instead as more words type on the notepad by itself, as she attempts to check for any data roaming connection.

"Let's go." she begins walking towards it, hinting for Asagami to move along.

Mikaela grins. "Good to see you two haven't been snatched up by any of the forest-dwellers", she said, snickering ever-so-lightly. She then turns to Daydre, jumping a little as she puts out her arm to block his potential path towards the sisters. "Who are you?", asked Mikaela, taking on a wary expression.

As others began to pile into the mansion, the twins reacted quickly. Kuro immediately shuffled to stand behind his twin, who eyed the odd group in a stoic manner. The serpent-like individual seemed to be fairly fearful of the newcomers. Kuro frowned, expression wavering in a fearful manner as he looked all around. One girl in particular seemed to be gearing up to fight, as gauntlets formed around her hands... Were he and Shiro not the only individuals with powers around here? The atmosphere in the room became too tense for him to bear.

"Hey, wait!" He piped up, gaze nervous as he looked towards Nina. "T-There's no need to start a fight right away. Instead, m-maybe we should try to reach an understanding? Were all of you summoned here, too? I m-mean, my brother and I just kind of woke up here." It was clear that Kuro was going to do most of the talking, as he usually did. Shiro hung back, looking at all the strangers in a blank manner. If any of them moved to attack Kuro, a fight would begin. And admittedly, Shiro wasn't in the mood for a quarrel at the moment, so he allowed Kuro to speak more.

"W-We were planning to head towards the roof to get a better look at our location." Kuro hurried to speak, glancing all around with wide eyes. "I'm Kuro, and this is my brother, Shiro. It's... uh, nice to meet all of you."

Emily shakes her head. "No, I meant..." Emily raises her hand to her head and taps her index finger on it.

Kit scratches her head as she watches the trio. Why are they taking their friend's injury so casually? At this point fooling around with her head knocks her hood off, exposing pointed furry ears. As the air stirs the tiny hairs on said ears, her face turns red and she quickly pulls the hood back down. "Nya!"

"I'm... Daydre.." There's that pause again, like he doesn't remember his own name. "Hey, shouldn't we be getting her injury treated?" He gestures towards Emily.

Kit's nya draws his attention and he catches a glimpse of her ears. "?"

Nina nods as the gauntlets disappear int her hands again the same way as they emerged -flowing like quicksilver into the rings.

"I merely responded zo the question of my defense.", she answers, clearly both amused and annoyed, "I apologize for my actions."

Erika shudders, before her guard surprisingly drops. "Wait... you lot... aren't after me?" From fear to confusion, Erika's expression changes like the seasons. "...well... as for me, I've been fleeing from the other part of the path... namely from those who wanted me to die..." She then uttered under her breath, "Cursed hunter's guild..." Her attention was renewed upon the entire group, including Kuro and Shiro. "...needless to say, I kinda went here... more to avoid the attention of those who would want me to die... and I've learned quickly that my plan did not go well, but... that's not important now... it's good to see some people who... well... don't freak out and run, let alone try to mangle me." She admits, a slight hiss evident as she looks to the floor, a bit winded. "I suppose I owe an apology for sneaking about and trying to not be noticed and all... it's just with the people after me, I couldn't exactly take chances with witnesses." She apologizes.

Kit can feel Daydre looking at her. She pulls her hood down tighter. "Y-ya know, I could just go to the house myself. I'm sure they have a phone and could call an ambulance for you. I'll be back soon!" She turns around and runs for the house.

"Ah, wait!" Daydre reaches after her uselessly. His hand hangs in the air for a second before he drops it again.

"Hm...", Mikaela pondered, "I suppose it would be for the best." She notices Kit running for the house. "Wait, I- ... Didn't even get to meet you." Mikaela gazes at the distant mansion and turns back to Daydre. "Maybe we should get my clientele to that building over there.", she suggested, "Hopefully, the owner is kind enough to let us stay for a spell."

Kit is running through the mansion's gate. I told you this was a bad idea. Why don't you just listen to-? "Shut up shut up shut up!" She calms down a bit as she gets to the open doors. "That's...unexpected." She walks in slowly and cautiously. "Hello? Your door was open. There's somebody seriously injured outside. Do you have a phone? We just wanna get some help."

"Indeed we shall." Walking behind Eisen so as to guard her back and watch out for threats, the ever attentive hunter meandered on the path until the two of them were brought to what appeared to be a mansion. Other small groups of people were about, which heightened the girl's attention once more, muscles slightly tensing up like a spring and ready to be unleashed should the situation go to pot. "Such a mysterious place, this is. I hope we get answers..." Stopping a fair distance away from the doors, the girl checked out for any telltale signs of traps and other unsavory devices with an experienced eye to find none.

Unfortunately, "Eisen" found nothing but cellular reception in the area as she searched. Regardless, it would be something.

Inside the mansion, it didn't seem like there was much, or in fact, any noise from anywhere inside. Unfortunately, the clamor of the various people inside made it hard to tell in any case. Thankfully, however, to even the trained eye, the mansion was devoid of any traps or snares.

It seemed that Asagami was quite the cautious one, as Eisen noted that she was trying to look for anything suspicious as they walked down the path. Better safe than sorry- after all, a few of the people in the area seemed to be... prepared. It helped to have a cautious partner around when Eisen herself wasn't skilled at combat in the slightest, and Eisen was happy for that, smiling as she walked.

The fog had cleared for the most part, allowing the lady to bask in the warmth as she appeared to continually type on her android without actually touching the screen. It was a pity that there wasn't any data roaming or wifi around the area, which Eisen temporarily frowned at a bit before smiling again, but cellular reception seemed to work. The SMS message app came up as the phone automatically wrote a message while sending it to another person.

It wasn't long before they both reached the doors of the mansion. Still holding onto her Android phone, eyes mainly focused on it, Eisen replied with a more confident smile. "Let's go in. We could get answers from the others who arrived here."

As Kit walks further into the mansion, she notices two women at the door. "You...you don't happen to own this place, do you? I'm trying to find a phone or something. To get some help."

The young lady was huddled in some bushes near the wounded girl and her friends. She considered the idea of offering one of her blankets, to help staunch the bleeding, but at the same time she thought of the potential embarrassment of approaching strangers when one has only some sheets to cover themself. She decided to pick a third option. She pulled a quilt off of her shoulders, rolled it into a ball and chucked it in Emily's general direction before ducking down and moving over to another set of bushes.

Clientele? Guess she works for them.. But what does she do?.. Maybe she's a bodyguard or something.. She seemed rather protective of those two earlier.. There is abject silence as Daydre follows his train of thought.

... Daydre then realizes that he hasn't answered Mikeala, and jumps around to look at her. "E-er, sorry. Yeah, we should get her in there before something happens."
