This was definitely the first time that Shantae had ever visited another person's house, yet lo and behold, Shantae was already en-route to the location of the Magical Girl Society, and did not mind this fact despite being slightly nervous at the prospect. Plus, she had let Arle go on ahead so she could let Peach know that Shantae would be coming over and suggested a slumber party for all good magical girls to get to know some of them.

"So this is peaches house, looks pretty nice, like it would be a mansion that only the rich and famous live in." Shantae said to herself, the ever present feeling of nervousness compounded by the fact that she was about to enter the house of someone very important.

Meanwhile, someone else was watching this scenario about to unfold, at least the person knew that there was some mayhem to make when the time is right.

Poor Arle wasn't looking so hot. Getting home had been a massive struggle for her incredibly weakened body. She was now very visibly in a lot of pain again after making that short journey. She was certainly a trooper though, having not complained even a little as she struggled for basic agency. She did, however, look like she might not be able to remain standing for much longer. Goodness, I hope no predatory characters are stalking her right now! Wink wink. Flandre's tailing the duo at a good distance, too far for her to be seen if either turned around to look. She was taking advantage of the somewhat strong scent of the curry spices Arle constantly carried on her person to stalk the duo without actually being able to see them herself. "I guess the place has received a few renovations since I first visited... It used to be just a basic house." Arle breathlessly remarked, hunching over a bit as her body threatened to give out under her. The moment she said this though, footsteps could be heard from behind the two. Someone was approaching them! Arle's attention was grabbed and she straightened her posture, glancing behind her. Who was following them at this time of night?? Someone evil?!

. . . Raffina emerges into view, quickly spotting Arle and stopping in her tracks. She placed her hands on her hips, decidedly unimpressed. "There you are!" Raffina replied in mild annoyance. Arle quickly relaxed in spite of Raffina's confrontational tone, the pink haired fashionista making her way over to greet the two. "Ms. Arle, when I said to get some exercise I didn't mean all day. You have to pace yourself or you'll wind up making yourself even sicker." Raffina remarked somewhat more calmly as she approached, performing a brief visual examine of Arle's body exam. She could already tell her fears were confirmed. Arle looked even worse than when she'd arrived back at the lodge from Hell. She frowned with the quiet knowledge that Peach would be disappointed in her for not taking better care of Arle. She had, after all, taken responsibility for the other's physical rehabilitation. "Sorry..." Arle softly replied in a rather defeated sounding tone. "...Who's this you've brought home with you?" Raffina would go on to ask after just a moment, her azure gaze finally raising to acknowledge Shantae. "This is Shantae. She... helped me out when I collapsed in the square. I--...She wanted to know if she could stay with us tonight..." Arle began to explain, somehow struggling for breathe as she spoke. This alarmed Raffina a bit and she decided it was time to stop respecting Arle's personal space. Slipping an arm under the mage's thighs, she scooped the other up bridal style and held her securely in her arms. Arle seemed a little startled and flustered being handled like this, but made no effort to resist. "...Well, Ms. Shantae. Any friend of Arle's is certainly welcome to come in and introduce herself. Will you join us?" Raffina would go on to request, giving Shantae her attention. Judging by the effortless way she was holding Arle, she was pretty strong for such an effeminate-looking person.

Turning to lead the way inside, Raffina casually shifted Arle into the crux of one of her arms for a brief moment to grab and open the door--once again making the feat of strength look rather easy--and embarrassing Arle in the process. Stepping inside, Raffina stopped and turned to wedge her foot in the door, holding it open for Shantae. "Princess Peach, I've found Arle!" she called out. The princess wasn't in the foyer at that moment, but her words did draw the attention of one other person who was. Amitwo hopped up from the puyo themed bean bag chair she'd been sitting on and floated her way weightlessly over to the trio, beaming brightly at them. "Wow, good job Raffina~! We were getting really worried... Who's your new friend~?" Amitwo asked, greeting Shantae with a bright and inviting smile. She seemed like a pretty friendly sort. The sounds of some heels clicking not far off could be heard, but it might be a moment longer before Peach herself arrived.

"Sure thing, friends must try to stick together no matter what." Shantae said, following Raffina into the house. Much like what Shantae had pegged the house for, it most certainly was like a mansion that the inside was just as extravagant as the outside; compared to her lighthouse home, which was not as impressive and was the only house that wasn't designed with technology in mind. These thoughts were cast aside however as the half-genie was greeted by someone.

"Hello there, I'm Shantae. Might I ask who you are please?" Shantae said the the girl who was looking at her and giving her a smile in return. She knew that someone was coming and wanted to make a good impression as a guest.

"My name's Amitie--...two... Amitwo~" Amitwo blurtd out rather clumsily, stumbling over her words rather awkwardly. Nearby, Raffina was gingerly wrapping Arle up like a burrito in a super mushroom themed blanket. The mage didn't seem proud of what was going on, but seemed to resign herself to this. "Amitwo is what's known as a magical doppelganger. They're made out of magic instead of blood and bone for the purposes of impersonating others, usually by a magician. Most of thm are just ...spells, but Amitwo is special. She's more like us--A person." Raffina explained, at first with a certain cold analytic approach but then shifting towards a much warmer tone regarding Amitwo. "I'm just glad to be here with all my new friends~!" Amitwo replied somewhat sheepishly. twisting about to observe the Arle Burrito Raffina had fashioned at the sound of high heels approaching, Raffina set the rather exasperated, or perhaps just tired, Arle Burrito down in a chair and also turned to address a doorway leading off into a seperate room.

Sure enough, Princess Peach emerged holding a tray of super mushroom themed cupcakes, not to be confused with actual super mushrooms, and a pot of koopa tea all on a platter. One could surmise that she'd probably been fetching the treats whil the other girls got to know eachother. She stopped once she took notice of Shantae though, her azure gaze searching the other for a moment. "Welcome home, Arle--Ms. Raffina, have you brought a guest..?" Peach would ask rather curiously as she movd to sit the platter down on an end-table next to arl, not that the mage's arms were free to take anything. "Ms. Shantaee brought Arl home to us. She wanted to know if she could stay the night. Isn't that right, Ms. Shantae?" Raffina would offer to explain, casually handing the conversation over to Shantae. "Just the night..?" Peach replied somewhat thoughtfully. It was a strange request compared to being up front about wanting to join the sisterhood, but perhaps Shantae had hr reasons she supposed. "You're most welcome to stay with us, Ms. Shanta--We were very worried about Arle. She's been through a rough week." Peach would go on, folding her arms before her and approaching Shantae. She was strikingly tall for the decidedly most lady-like person in the room by many standards at a massive 6'2''. "Is everything alright..?" Peach went on to ask in concern. She had suspicions that Shantae must be running from something and looking for a place to hide, whether that be n actual person or some sort of problm. She didn't particularly mind, of course. Arle herself had joined the society looking for a place she wouldn't have to worry about the men in her life bothering her, but she was inclined to try and find out what Shantae's motivations were, if not so that she could cater to the other's specific needs.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Shantae would look at Amitwo briefly before doing a double-take, because at hearing the word doppelganger, Shantae's heart seemed to pound in her throat. "I see. This will have been my first time actually having a friendly encounter with a magical doppelganger, since the last time I had such an encounter, I was forced to fight one that was the result of my magic being taken and used against me. Said doppelganger was in fact my own magic half which I was forced to take down." Shantae said in a polite tone though it was a little forced because she had never seen any friendly doppelgangers before now. But even now she couldn't help but pat Amitwo on the head as a sign of kindness that belied her nature as a cute half-monster girl. "Do not lose sight of that hope of being with friends." Shantae added as princess peach arrived with treats for those in her house.

Shantae would have felt as though she was being x-rayed, despite peaches curiosity at why Shantae was here to begin with, Shantae let loose a sigh and decided spill the beans. "Yes, but I was thinking along the line of a Slumber party. I also heard from Arle about what happened to her, and having someone close by to help her recover will help do the trick." Shantae said as calmly as she could, though she knew peach would still be concerned. The thought of her first confrontation with her own dark doppelganger, a result of a cursed magic lamp being used to rob Shantae of her magical abilities and forced to fight said doppelganger to the death kept nagging in the back of Shantae's mind; her one and only major insecurity that even Shantae could not keep out in the open, but even though it was one of her only problems, Shantae calmly started to speak. "Believe it or not, I'm trying to keep something far more terrible from getting loose and wreaking untold ammounts of devastation in the Life Sphere, which is pretty much the reason why I came here to begin with. Trust me when I say this; you wouldn't want to see the evil half of my magic make those around you suffer. I've done my best to keep it contained so far, but even I can't keep it held at bay for long, must have started stirring when I had to get myself and my friends from my realm to safety due to the Starvia." Shantae explained with an emphasis on being cautious and choosing her words wisely, remembering her journey to the Life Sphere to get her friends{her adoped uncle Mimic, Bolo, Sky(and Wrench), Rottytops and her two brothers(abner and poe), the Barons of Sequin Land(Squid Baron, Ammo Baron, Hypno Baron, and Techno Baron), and her arch nemesis; Risky Boots} to safety after which they want to do their own thing, and leave Shantae to find a place to settle down on her own, though Risky still antagonises Shantae with a burning passion that begets the fact that while still enemies, will not hesitate to stop a more dangerous threat through the form of teeth-clenched teamwork. "If I could, I'd like to at least be nearby, as Arle is probably the first friend I had in a good long while." Shantae said sheepishly causing a small fireball to form in the palm of her hand, warm to the touch, it was the same as when she showed it to Arle As a sign of respect but showing it to those who would want to see a sample of her magic first hand.

[Mari]

Amitwo would bow her head slightly at Shantae's patting, not because she was just into that sort of thing but because she had almost no weight to her and even the gentlest of pats felt like a little shove. Regardless, she seemed to appreciate the affection. As did ... her hat. Both Amitwo and her hat both closed their eyes in anticipation of the patting. It was rather strange if one picked up on it, but probably didn't mean anything. ...Other than a strange hat. In return, Shantae would receive a little hug from Amitwo, the other's arms wrapping around her shoulders. Once again, she had no weight to her--nor warmth. It was like being hugged by an underinflated balloon. That is to say, it lacked any strength behind it. She was decidedly not a very intimidating person, which was probably why she'd been taken in. Someone so fragile and weak probably wouldn't survive if they were held to the same rigors other heroes were.

Peach, however, had a much more concerned reaction. She was glad to see Amitwo quickly attaching to Shantae, ever concerned over the magical construct's wellbeing, but this talk of a terrible evil was understandably a bit higher on her priorities list once she came to understand the implications of what Shantae was saying. "Oh my..!" the princess blurted out once the other had finished. Giving it some thought, she supposed that what Shantae was asking of her wasn't unreasonable. She normally preferred to sit down and get to know someone personally before inviting them, but perhaps a slumber party would be just as effective! New, but novel. " . . . In that case, we'll be needing a few more sleeping bags and some snacks." Peach mused aloud, apparently approving of the idea. "Oh! I can help with snacks~!" Amitwo remarked rather brightly, beginning to channel the mana making up her body into a platter of snacks! Candies, jellies, puyo ice cream, chocolates. It was all a rather grand spectacle to behold and was definitely as delicious as it looked and then some, on account of having a magical kick to it. Meanwhie, Raffina meandered off to fetch some sleeping bags.

"Why don't I let you take care of Ms. Arle tonight..? That way you can spend time together~ . . . Will you be alright, Ms. Shantae..?" Peach would offer befeore softly asking the other with concern in her tone. Arle looked up from her little blanket burrito, her eyes lighting up in recognition. "I-I'll be fine! I'm just tired. That's all." the mage bashfully replied, trying to talk down how weak she was. It seemed like she had enough pride left to want to take care of herself, but of course she couldn't in her current condition.

"It would be a good or great service to do this, after all; it is a Guardian Genie's top priority to help those in need." Shantae said, letting drop the subtle hint of her profession to those in the room. The only difference however was that Shantae gave Princess Peach an unmistakable bow during the hint drop. Shantae would then walk over to Arle and sit next to her. "You say you are fine but need some rest, it will always be of some help to know that you have friends who have got your back in any form of situation. I've also been meaning to ask you; what exactly did you mean by saying you would want me to be your plus one?" Shantae added, a very perplexed and bewildered look on her face as though embarrassed by this thought.

[Mari]

Arle's gaze followed Shantae, meeting hers as she moved to sit down. The mage burrito was too tired to protest knowing just how much trying to be independent would hurt in practice if she tried to move on her own. She wound up involuntarily leaning into Shantae just a bit, mostly because of the cushion underneath her giving a bit under the other's weight and throwing her weakened body off balance. Arle attempted to correct this, but it seemed a little difficult for her without the use of her arms or legs. She just sort of wiggled a bit, trying to throw her weight back into balance before awkwardly falling over onto Shantae's lap. She was now just kinda laying there, unable to right herself. Arle seemed pretty flustered and a tad bit guilty about invading the other's personal space like that, even if she was physically incapable of stopping herself. She probably wouldn't be comfortable again until Shantae helped her right herself. Of course, Shantae could probably just accept the burrito onto her lap with more or less the same result if she so chose.

"--Oh! Um... A plus one is a friend or a companion you bring with you to an exclusive event; It means you're our guest. Miss Raffina taught me that." Arle would reply and explain in a somewhat bashful tone. One of the few positive notes she remembered from their last sleepover. Peach found herself a bit surprised by this. Not because Raffina was teaching Arle customs and mannerisms, but because Arle apparently felt comfortable enough to invite someone in! She'd always taken Arle to be one of the most paranoid characters in the society, owing to all of the harassment she'd received before and after coming to Li. Of course, most of the harassment she'd received had come from boys and been of a certain nature, but lately, she'd come to know that that wasn't necessarily true anymore. "I think it also means that Ms. Arle trusts you a lot, and would be grateful to have you by her side~" Peach would go on to remark, a knowing smile on her face. This did nothing to soothe Arle's embarrassment, but the mage offered no protest.

And then, a face that would be familiar to Arle and Shantae entered the room! Shantae would likely be able to feel Arle jolt slightly at the sight.



Hey, look! It's ... Jester Guy? He was holding a cup of koopa tea. "--...Oh, hi." Jester Guy remarked rather casually. Not only was his face familiar, but his voice was too! Muffled by the clown suit, Jester 'Guy's voice was distinctly... effeminate. If one were observant, they'd be able to pick up on the fact that their voice was strikingly similar to Arle's even through the suit. This fact wasn't lost on Arle herself. She just sort of gave Jester Guy a funny, somewhat suspicious look. " . . . Are you a doppelganger?" Arle asked. The jester hesitated just a moment. "No." they replied rather firmly, with an audible hint of annoyance. " . . . Oh." Arle awkwardly relented. She seemed a bit unconvinced, but what was she even supposed to say to that?

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Shantae would be mildly suprised as Arle somehow fell onto her lap, she did not mind it and began to gently pet the mage burrito with a serene care that was akin to a pet owner petting their cat or dog.

The moment the jester showed up and Arle gave a bit of a jerk which Shantae would feel, causing her to look at the mysterious jester with a mixture of curiosity and inquisitiveness. "l can probably wager a guess that you are some kind of ghost memory of the past, likely as a result of some irredeemable sin of sorts. I know because I dealt with one during my recent adventure before." Shantae said calmly to the jester as she propped Arle up on the seat, her blue eyes giving the jester a feeling of quite literally being x-rayed by someone who was patiently observing the situation as well as all possible outcomes.

[Mari]

Amitwo's eyes just sort of shot wide open with alarm as she listened to what Shantae was saying. She could be seen silently yet frantically playing charades for Shantae to stop in the background, but it was a tad too little too late. One could just see Jester 'Guy' tense up, her grasp on the tea in her hands tightening. Pretty much right as Shantae finished, she abruptly threw the tea plate against the ground before whipping the cup at Shantae's head and promptly beginning to incant a spell, eliciting a cry from Arle and Amitwo. "N-Noo! Warle, stop!" Amitwo protested, floating over and hugging Warle as if to restrain her. However, as she had no weight and almost strength this was entirely ineffective. "Smite!" Warle hissed, completely unresponsive to Amitwo's attempt. Her hand rose and fell in quick succession, a bolt of lightning dropping from the sky to deep fry Shantae. Arle would be caught in the blast radius as well, obviously unable to dodge.

((...You can just decide whether you'd prefer Shantae to take the hit or not. She might also wish to protect the helpless mage burrito. It deals 26% damage, has a 25% chance of burning and an additional 25% chance of paralyzing.))

"Aby--!" Warle continued to incant without hesitation, only to abruptly trail off. A moment later, she crumpled to the ground rather bodily. To the astute, Peach had just knocked the other out with a calm vibe. The princess made her way over, taking a deep breath to calm herself before lamenting the situation with a soft "Oh dear..." that carried with it the weight of hopelessness in its tone. "I do apologize for that outburst, Shantae. This one is a bit 'troubled'." the princess went on to explain with that same sense of weariness.

{sorry for the long @$$ wait, here is the post.}

Shantae would have taken the hit, but an unexpected meat shield in the the form of a Reapette leapt out from nowhere in particular to take the blow, destroying it in the process of Shantae realising what she said via facepalming with her right and catching the teacup with her left.

"Note to self, never push that girl's berserk button..." Shantae told herself, somhow looking around to find where said Reapette came from but citing it as a lost cause and put it in the back burner of her mind until later, she would instead sit Arle back up on the seat and placed the teacup carefully on the Arle Burritos lap.

"I could see why, judging by the fact that she does not take kindly to what I referred to her as. But for now, I heard from Ashe a while back that you're good at dancing, I'm a bit of a dancer myself; despite the fact that my dancing ties into my very special talent of transforming into various creatures." Shantae said calmly as she stood up and picked up the saucer that the teacup was originally on before the jester three the teacup at Shantae, though she got away with being scalded by hot tea, she could easily heal herself with her magic if she actually took the full hit.

Meanwhile... Unbeknownst to everyone, the Reapette that had appeared to take the blow for Shantae, wasn't the only thing that was inexplicably located within the house, as a fully grown Reaper of sorts was also within, just hiding out of sight and utterly invisible to all but Arle and at the moment it merely placed a skeletal pointer finger in front of its mouth to keep Arle from crying out in sudden alarm of seeing a creature like that in her presence.

Peach giggled at Shantae's remark. "Well I do enjoy a good dance~" Peach replied rather light-heartedly. "Unfortunately, it has been a good long time since I've been able to hold a formal dance. I guess I have a bit of pent-up energy." Peach went on to softly lament. As if on cue, Ashe enters the room in what appears to be a sailor fuku. It was arguably a strong improvement over the skintight bodysuit.

"

Oh hey Shantae~! Nice to see you again. I just got back from a little mission. Would you believe me if I said I got some werewolf DNA and now I can transform into one~?

"

Meanwhile, Arle's eyes widened in alarm at the sight of the reapette. Nope! She wasn't having that. There was an intruder sneaking around in her safe place! At the very least she was owed an introduction. Before she could really call the reapette out, however, the mage burrito was distracted by a knocking at the door. The knock itself wasn't so much distracting as the way the door cracked rather audibly in response to the knocking. The door knob jiggled a bit, and then the door abruptly collapsed into a pile of dust. Flandre was left standing there holding the disembodied doorknob, which shattered in her hands after a moment. " . . . Good evening~! Looks like I won't need an invitation after all!" Flandre cheekily remarked before casually floating her way inside. Apparently the notion that vampires needed to be invited inside didn't apply to houses who left their doors wide open. ...Or y'know, didn't have a door.

"Hi Ashe, long time no see, Nice outfit by the way." Shantae said as Ashe entered the building, which was indeed a stark contrast to what she normally wore. Plus the fact that she had another transformation under her belt whereas Shantae only had one made the half-genie a little more interested in getting more transformations for herself in the future. But even that was jarred away when a sudden loud knock was heard which resulted in the door disintegrating into dust to reveal Flandre entering the vicinity. "I think we may be needing to fix that door... Pity I don't have a restoration spell to do that kind of job, but this might do the trick!" Shantae said as she performed a bit of her magic and in a puff of smoke, the half-genie vanished, in her place was a strange creature that looked like something out of Kingdom Hearts, but was more modernised by wearing pirate pantaloons, only difference was the purple bandana with the gold tiara and startlinfly blue eyes, the creature wasted no time in making and fitting a new door into the doorframe that looked identical to the door Flandre had destroyed in no less than 5 minutes. The creature then vanished and Shantae was back, looking rather sheepish. "That was first time showing off the Tinkerbat form used by my magic... Tinkerbats are quite useful for repair jobs that need doing as well as being a rather annoying enemy from my world. And yes, you needed an invite though you would have to politely behave yourself now that you are here." Shantae calmly said as she let out a yawn, showing that she was indeed tired from her justifiable reason to show another aspect of her magical nature.

Shantae would go back to where Arle was and sit down next to her, taking a sip of the tea she picked up from the tray. It was just as delicious as a Bento box lunch and quite herbal too.

The irony in this was that Shantae seemed to aknowledge the elephant in the room in the fact that she could see what appeared to be a robed figure hiding its face whilst being invisible, all while the figure itself made it's move by knocking on Flandre's head lightly with a skeletal hand. "Not quite ripe yet..." was heard in a calm demeaned, but was actually a way of showing the fact that the mysterious being was rather amused.

"Thanks~!" Ashe replied, flashing a rather enthustiastic thumbs up. Unlike Chell, she was enjoying her sentient clothes! ...Mostly because she didn't own anything else.

"What's all the noise..?" a rather sleepy looking Black asked as she entered the room, rubbing one of her eyes. She was in pajamas, with a living teddybear in the form of her snivy in her arms. As she entered though, she was greeted with the sight of Shantae repairing a door that had been reduced to dust. The entire room just sort of stopped to stare, with even Flandre developing a bewildered expression on her face. Peaech had to silently give it to Shantae. The sisterhood did not have any handywomen in it. That would be pretty ...handy to have around, actually! " . . . That is quite the valuable skill, Shantae." Peach mused aloud. She understood exactly why Shantae was embarrassed. There was a certain stigma of manliness to that line of skills, but maybe not a meaningful one. That is to say, she wouldn't pay it any mind.

However, moments after the shock had warn off Flandre quickly turned on Arle and struck a predatory pose. "Mmnn~! It's time I gave you my gift, Arlie! Then we can play forever! Hahahaha!" Flandre remarked with a passionate giggle. "aaaAAA SHEWANTSTOTURNMEINTOAVAMPIRE!!" Arle screamed at the top of her lungs in terror as Flandre lunged for her. Just then, Raffina dropped the sleeping bags she'd been retrieving and lunged out to grab Flandre! "Nope!" she blurted out rather dismissively, using the element of surprise to forcefully shove Flandre to the ground face first. ...And then the bones in her arm shattered. You could just see Raffina's expression twist with an agonizing pain as she abruptly realized she'd made a mistake, staggering backward and clutching at herself in confusion and alarm.

Shantae was startled by what Arle had said and Raffina knocking Flandre to the ground at the cost of breaking her arm, Sighing; Shantae would pick up Arle and carry her over to Amitwo and place Arle next to her, then she turned to Raffina and gently pulled her broken arm towards her. "I guess I'm going to find use for my magic somehow, but I may need some assistance in this as I think my Wish spell might not cut it in the long run, despite it being useful. Shantae said calmly as she prepared to use her genie magic again, giving Peach a nod to help her in this regard, as helping those in need was actually second nature for Shantae and naturally came with the territory of a good Samaritan who truly wants to make the most of their abilities.

It was at this point that Shantae would begin the activation of her wish spell, as her very being began to glow with an aura that was gentle and was light blue in color, directing the flow of her wish spell to Raffina's broken arm, Shantae would attempt to heal Raffina's arm as best she could.
