"Well this is a treat for me personally! Welcome one and all to the next match of WWLi. Today we'll be seeing two members of the Magical Girl's Society going at it. Raffina, our resident fashionista and health enthusiast, not to mention martial artist, versus Lidelle, princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and wind sorceress. Lidelle is very young, and although she's quite famous with the Mushroom Kingdom for being an heiress to the throne, as well as the pride and joy of many a member of the sisterhood, Raffina I think included, I don't think her popularity has spread a lot outside of that. Today, however, she'll have the chance to change that! All she has to do is prove she can subjugate her opponent under her royal authority and endure the rigors of the audience's challenges and requests~! Considering she's the champ's daughter, I don't think I'll be alone in rooting for her~"

[Mari]

Raffina squirmed with something resembling terror on the outskirts of the arena, anxiously checking herself over in a compact mirror and obsessively making sure she looked her best every once in a while as she waited for the fight to start. Hearing Blue's words did nothing to make her feel less insecure about herself. She hadn't really anticipated she'd get matched up with Lidelle of all people. That was second to maybe Amitie in terms of fights she wasn't prepared to have. Was she scared of a little girl?? ...She was scared of a little girl. God she hoped the audience didn't notice. She wasn't certain about that, though. Blue even kinda called out her feelings toward Lidelle there, which was ... odd. She had no idea Lidelle and Blue were friends. Moving out onto the field, Raffina did her best to smile and pretend nothing was wrong.

...Same as always.


"I hope you have a plan, Miss Lidelle! This is a battle for dominance, which means I won't be able to hold back like if we were training. 'All is fair' in love, after all."

...Oh, is that why you got your butt kicked in training, Raffina?

[Mari]

"The match-up has been decided! It's a royal rumble and a role reversal match, meaning each fighter has their powers and abilities swapped, and each fighter gets to bring in a friendly ally to help them battle! ...Now all we need is Lidelle and her teammate~"

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Lidelle stood next to her entrance to the arena, steeling herself for the fight ahead.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, but her self-imposed trial of proving herself to be more than just pretty words had already reached a wall in the form of Raffina. She halfheartedly wished her opponent was someone else, so that she wouldn't go down in the 1st bracket. She had improved her skills a bit...or, well, that's what she wanted to think, but she still couldn't hold a candle to what her classmates could do.

...Well, there was the dragon, but...

She shuddered and shook her head. This wasn't the time for her lack of confidence to overtake her. She was here to win! And if she wanted to win, she needed to at least act confident! Once Blue's introduction was over, Lidelle meandered over to the arena and drew breath, before addressing her first opponent. "...A plan's only good if it's a secret! I can spoil one thing about it, though. It involves taking you down." she replied, mimicking Raffina's pose as she smirked. "Don't try to lose so quickly, now~" She teased with a smirk.

The match had reversed their roles, meaning Lidelle would have to put her rather frail and untrained arms and legs to use. Now, as far as bringing partners are concerned, Lidelle admittedly hadn't arranged someone to help her.

Still, she knew someone who would immediately go to her aid.

"Has someone called for a teammate~?!"

Leaping from the audience seats and landing neatly by her little sister's side, was perhaps the most radiant of all the princesses. Some of the crowd cheered on the Puyo-capped blondie as she waved at the audience she very briefly was a part of. Afterwards, though, she turned to Lidelle. "Hope you don't mind me barging in~" she remarked, cheerful as ever, prompting a small giggle from Lidelle. "Even if I didn't want you to, you'd do it anyway." "You have a good point. Still, ready to kick butt, metaphorically and literally?" "Not sure about literally, but metaphorically..."

"...heck yeah."

With a firm nod to each, the two princesses fist bumped, turned to Raffina and slid into their battle stances, ready to get this show on the road.

[Mari]

"A wise old Kantonian proverb says: If butts weren't meant to be kicked, they'd be located somewhere harder to reach! ...And probably a little smaller of a target, too! Hehe~ Anyway, seeing as you'll both have your abilities magically swapped during this match, I've made sliiight minimalist alterations to the wordings of a few audience requests, altering them just enough to make sure they're still possible. Now all we need is Raffina's partner?"

...Raffina stonefaced rather hard when the implications of this match became clear. Not only was Lidelle giving her the sass and posing her defeat, a humiliating prospect even without the whims of the audience, she was going to have to fight Amitie too?? ...And use magic?? Raffina screamed internally. No. No! That wasn't fair! She couldn't do magic! Sure enough, her magic pouch had vanished, appearing over in Lidelle's possession instead. The look on her face was ... priceless, to say the least.  She took a moment to read over the appeals while Blue talked. Seems the audience didn't want them to hold back either. ...Well, she could safely rule that appeal out. She doubted Lidelle had the guts to try that one, pun intended. She kind of had a hard time imagining her rapping either. Maybe the situation wasn't as hopeless as she thought?

Raffina turned back about to address Lidelle, leaning forward a bit with one hand upon her hip in a rather sassy manner. "H-Hah~! I hope you can maintain that winner's attitude throughout this match, Miss Lidelle! You'll have to bring some serious heat if you want to cook my goose. And I don't stay down easy~" Raffina stammered out rather competitively, her voice cracking at the beginning there. She... wasn't the best at hiding when she was nervous. Especially around Amitie. Are you sure that's the way you want to phrase your taunts, Raffina? She then stood back up for a moment to address Amitie, the nervousness plainly visible upon her face once her competitive bravado was finished. "...M-Miss Amitie." she timidly greeted. She just didn't have the heart to engage in even friendly trash talk with Amitie. It was too hard! Her brain always filled up with dumb romantic one liners from all the books she'd read that didn't even make sense in the given context!

"--Um... E-excuse me!!" an equally soft voice chimed in, timidly pleading for everyone's attention. From nearby, a familiar face emerged! It was an often shy doppelganger, here to fill in for Raffina's teammate! Rider's ears fidgeted every so often at the various sounds of the stadium

" . . . I um--.... I-I found you! You-you... Faker." Rider exclaimed, pointing a sleeve obscured ...hand at Lidelle. This caused Amitwo to lose it somewhere in the stands at the irony of the situation, whooping and carrying on. Next to her, Shin!Arle pretended not to notice Amitwo's antics and instead made a heart with her hands for Lidelle. A silent statement of love and support from the stands. "Sorry." Rider quickly and sheepishly apologized, momentarily hiding her face with her hand in embarassment. Raffina glanced over to her. "...Now is the time for roughness and assertiveness. Not apologies." Raffina lightly corrected, concerned that Rider might not realize this was a serious fight. A serious sport-fight, but a serious fight none-the-less. "Oh, s-sorry, Miss Raffina." Rider replied, perhaps missing the point entirely. She then turned to address Lidelle again. "...I found you~!" Rider stated in a matter-of-fact tone, once again pointing at Lidelle.

((Rider is parodying Sonic Adventure 2))

Meanwhile, Raffina made a flustered attempt to imitate Lidelle's magic! "V-Vento!!" she incanted, a ... wild and uncontrolled series of windy blasts rushed from her fingertips. They lacked the fine edge that Lidelle's did and were generally inconsistent and a bit choppy, but they might still manage to give her a good hard swat if she weren't careful.

p_1d20-4 (Raffina's Vento @ Lidelle; Does 8% Damage)

Raffina then rushed Lidelle, turning about and thrusting her hips backward, such as to throw herself backside first at Lidelle! She made a point of bouncing into the air as she did so, such that Lidelle would get a face-full of skirt if she didn't manage to get out of the way. More importantly though, this was so that the ensuing heartsplosion would hopefully knock her to the ground instead of knocking her away.

p_1d20+1 (Raffina's Hip Bash @ Lidelle; Does 27% Damage and has a 30% chance of afflicting infatuation)

"Whoops~" Raffina playfully remarked, feigning demureness even as she very deliberately moved back and lifted her legs out from under her, attempting to fall down on Lidelle and sit on her to keep her from getting back up! Incidentally, this was also a butt slam! Only she didn't get up after she was done.

p_1d20+3 (Raffina's Sit-Based Grapple @ Lidelle)
p_1d20-2 (Raffina's Butt Slam @ Lidelle; Does 14% Damage and afflicts mind-melted)


Nearby, Rider hesitantly turned her attention to Amitie for a moment. "...I guess we're opposite team partners~" Rider softly stated before moving to look over the audience requests. ...Huh. Borrow a pot from Raffina? That sounded kinda fun. Like teamwork~! However, as she continued reading one appeal in particular stood out to her. ...'You are now self-conscious about your horns'. Rider flinched and her face turned a bit red in response, her arms slowly lifting up to cover her horns with her sleeves, glancing around at the audience in confusion.

"...Please... Don't look...! Letargia!"

((Rider is indeed self-conscious))

However, as Rider squirmed in discomfort, a chilling feeling began to stretch across the stadium, as if the temperature had just dropped rather abruptly. It nipped at one's skin, passing straight down to the bone, and the batteries in people's electronics abruptly began to drain and fail. The flashing of cameras abruptly stopped after a few moments as the audience found their cameras abruptly turning off and staying off no matter how much battery they'd had moments earlier. It also sapped at the life energy of those nearby. Namely, Rider's opponents.

p_1d20+2 (Rider's Letargia @ Lidelle and Amitie; Does 18% Damage and overheals Rider for every enemy who fails to resist. Targets CON. Counts as a ghostly appeal! ...Even though Rider isn't like Amitwo.)

[TheSpatialWeeg]

No voice crack can escape those darned ears of hers! Lidelle's face peaked in surprise at that. What was going on underneath that demeanor of hers? She was up against Lidelle, the weakest of all her magic school peers! The mystery just went deeper when a flash of panic graced her face after the rules were clear and after the pouch was magically warped to Lidelle. Hmm, suspicious.

"Hey, is it just me or does Raffina look a bit...off of it?" Amitie asked. She apparently hasn't properly caught onto Raffina's stumble. Or is she just trying to spare her from further flustering before the match can begin? "...Probably?" Lidelle replied, shrugging. Maybe she shouldn't dwell on that. “...Say, maybe we should fluster her so hard she can’t fight properly!” Amitie whisper-suggested, causing her small sister to attempt to stifle her laughter.

Oh hey, Rider was gonna be Raffina's partner, huh? Both were wearing the exact same outfit...this shouldn't get confusing. Not at all. What was she--oh wait, she got that reference! "Faker? I think you're the fake Lidelle around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Ha! You're not even good enough to be my fake." Lidelle boasted, overdramatically moving her arms around while saying that. She winked towards Shin!Arle, acknowledging the sent support.

(Lidelle quotes SA2 as well!)

“I’ll make you eat those wo--pfftahahaAHAHA!!” Amitie chimed in before bursting into laughter. There's a bit of silence before Lidelle quickly added. "Just kidding. You're pretty good!"

"...Say uh, can I have a moment to say something to Liddie? It'll be quick, I promise!" Amitie asked, recovering from the burst of laughter before crouching to her little sister and whispering...something in her ear. Lidelle whispered back to her, and Amitie whispered once more. A devilish little smirk were on both of their faces.

Once they were back to their battle stances, the battle had begun.

Lidelle was caught unprepeared for Raffina’s attempt at her basic wind spell, being buffeted twice by it before managing to escape the third iteration. It was then that she saw Raffina fire herself butt-first onto her! With this speed, I won’t be able to--! In a flash, Lidelle braced herself, as a green bubble shield enveloped her, absorbing the hit of the hip bash.

By the point where Raffina would try to sit on the smol, Lidelle was alert and waiting. She had leapt back a great amount, so there was only one place for Raffina to sit on: the cold, hard ground. The temperature drop did not went unnoticed, but unlike a shivering Amitie, Lidelle was unaffected by it. Still, that was...odd. Too odd.

“Y-yowch...i-it’s s-so c-cold, I-I feel like i-it’s hurting m-me…” Amitie stammered out. “I-I t-think I n-need to heat things up! Flame!” she continued, then chanted as her hand was covered in flames, before firing a salvo of three fireballs straight at the air condition--I mean, Rider.

p_1d20+4 (Flame @ Rider! 7% damage, combo attacks)
p_1d20+4 (Flame Combo 2!)
p_1d20+4 (Flame Combo 3!)

“Now it’s your turn! Lightning Bolt!” Amitie chanted once more, before thunder echoed from the heavens above and lighting descended below at terrifying speeds towards Raffina! “And Fairy Fire!” And she chanted yet again, raising her hand as she began to float. A rune appeared below her, and soon afterward, shot a ring of light at her foes!

p_1d20+4 (Amitie's Lightning Bolt @ Raffina! 30% damage, 40% chance of Paralysis)
p_1d20+4 (Amitie's Fairy Fire! AoE, 15% damage +5 bonus if a foe is Undead)

Lidelle wasn’t gonna sit off the action, though, no siree. Taking a deep breath, she advanced towards Raffina, and once close enough, leaped in the air. “Grêle!” With that chant, she began sending to the pinkette a series of ice-infused kicks to her face! Straight after the attempted onslaught of small feet, however, Lidelle would shoot a rainbow straight to the other’s face too! Only after that would the smol land on the ground and step back a tad to gain space.

Rider sheepishly giggled along with Amitie and Lidelle, just kinda lowkey happy to be a part of things. "--Oh, sure!" Raffina replied. The fun of fighting with friends! Getting to have pep talks without fear of a sucker punch. However, Raffina couldn't help but feel nervous as she watched the opposing girls whisper and chatter. What were they..? Were they talking about her? Did she just catch a glance? She could feel a chill down her spine--clearly a premonition by the way--and anxiously watched from a distance until they were finished. For some reason she felt relieved to be fighting now. And really, what was more terrifying than gossiping girls?

A couple of yelps could be heard as Rider, distracted trying to hide her horns from the audience, was pelted with fire and knocked over, falling on her face. Raffina just kind of did a doubletake at her where she laid on the ground, still covering her hair buns. ...Well that wasn't very graceful. Her attention shifted to Amitie at the other's call though and she readied herself!

A disorientated Raffina staggered about in a daze, just kinda screwed up upstairs after getting hit by lightning. Ow! What was kicking her?? Ow! Another foot hit her! She reflexively ducked and, by sheer luck, managed to dodge Lidelle's last kick before a heart explosively launched her backward. She staggered and fell over onto her botom for a moment, her face turning nice and red as she began to recover her composure from that sloppy display. ...No wait those were bruises. She was hurt. Oh hey look! She's also mad. Mad and with frazzled hair and bruises all over her face. She stood back up to face Lidelle "Oooo..." Raffina huffed. "That better not be the best you've got--!!" Raffina angrily blurted out, her temper flaring. But then something weird happened. She ... exercised restraint. Weird, I know. It seemed hard for her, too. Her fists trembled and she began to flail her arms in the air in a goofy, childish rage as she continued. "B-Because... I-I really want to see you sh-shine!!" she stammered out in outraged tone that didn't match the encouraging things she was saying, her voice cracking a bit again. She then stopped, still seething, and began marching toward Lidelle, though she had a slight yet noticeable limp now. When she next spoke, it was in a softer tone. "Try and stop me from shining brighter." she growled out. "Uragano!!" Raffina incanted, abruptly vanishing--or well, trying to anyway. The attack was kinda unstable such that streaks of Raffina could be seen passing by in the air before she re-appeared behind Lidelle! Regardless, she attempted to take Lidelle off guard with two er... very weak typhons from behind. She was trying so hard to make them work too! And to an extent they did, but wow.

Raffina then held out a finger, taking aim and launching a blast of wind energy right at... Lidelle's behind! Seems she wasn't above trying to embarrass Lidelle, at least.

p_1d20-4 (Raffina's Gale Destruction @ Lidelle; Does 25% Damage)

Meanwhile, Rider eventually got back up, sheepishly brushing her dress off. She seemed to have mostly recovered her composure, however, she was still anxiously looking around at the audience every so often to check if anyone was looking at her horns. The chilling feeling though. That... didn't go away!

p_1d20+2 (Rider's Letargia @ Lidelle and Amitie; Targets CON, Does 18% damage and heals Rider for 3% for every target it hits)

"Um--...I-I'm sorry..." Rider timidly blurted out, throwing her arms up into the air, which convulsed around the stadium, a sudden yet brief breeze traveled inward toward her, condensing into visible energy around her arms. "Fulmini!" Rider incanted, the air igniting with a bright flash of light and forming arcs of electricity! She thrust her arms out, and the electricity lunged out toward Amitie, threatening to give her some shock therapy!

p_1d20+4 (Rider's Fulmini @ Amitie; Does 20% Damage)

After a few moments of pulling an Unlimited Power on Amitie, Rider stopped as the last of the energy slipped away from her arms. She then glanced over at Lidelle. She then hesitated a moment, seemingly considering what she was about to do. " . . . Impeto!" she reluctantly incanted, once again thrusting her arms out. This time, shockwaves of barely visible energy shot through the air. They did not hit with kinetic energy, instead passing through one's body and causing violent vibrations strong enough to result in injuries both internal and external.

"...It's okay. I know you're mad at me for kicking you in the face." Lidelle replied, rather bluntly. Someone's not being fooled here. Or it could be because Raffina's was currently pretty easy to read. Amitie seemingly noticed her outburst too, since she shot a rather...disapproving look at the pinkette. "...Y'know, I think you should hand over the victory to us. You can't dominate us, because I have pants!" Amitie declared boisterously. "...Pants?" Lidelle parroted, clearly confused. "Yep! Wearing pants when you're in a relationship is the sign of being the dominant one. It's the law~!" Amitie replied. "Ooooooooh. Pfft." Lidelle voiced, giggling a bit.

((Amitie has just wasted a turn of hers to assert her dominance. Or joke about having the pants in the relationship.))

Well, the time for banter had ended, because Raffina was attacking Lidelle again. She knew Uragano pretty well, though, and the attacks were dodged easily. However, being blindsided by the Gale Destruction and an Impeto actually net her a flight towards the wall of the Arena before flopping at the ground and staying there without motion for a while.

A while enough to cause a bit of a...reaction, so to speak.

"......" Amitie stood silent, watching her sister being thrown at the wall mercilessly. The cold no longer bothered her, as she clenched her fists. "...So, we're gonna play that way, then." ...oh crud, that voice tone never, ever bode well. She turned back to Raffina, a piercing cold glare replacing the usual carefree face she had a while back. Such a face always looked off when worn by someone as bubbly and cheerful as Amitie, which probably contributed to it being rather...scary to behold. "Fine. Have it your way, then." she spoke again, her tone ice cold as she began charging a spell at Raffina...

p_1d20+2 (Amitie's Fulmini dodge.)

The shock from the arcs of lighting managed to hit the blonde, but her expression did not change. Rather, the glare turned to Rider and...softened a bit. Amitie then canceled the charging spell. Huh, maybe Rider being almost identical to Lidelle managed to calm her down--"Cyclone Whirl!!" ...Oh, nevermind, she went and cast a wind spell at Rider. After that, she went back to her business and charged up a familiar projectile of raw mana..."AKTINA!" she yelled as she shot the thing at the pinkette.

p_1d20+5 (Amitie's Cyclone Whirl @ Rider! 15% damage)
p_1d20+5 (Amitie's Aktina @ Raffina! 26% damage)

Lidelle wasn't out for the count just yet, though. It took her a few seconds, but she got back up. Her hair was slightly messy, her clothing sustained slight damage, and she now had a little gash on her head, dropping some blood...but despite that, she sported a smirk.  "...You kidding me? I had worse than this." Lidelle spoke up. It was a lie. It hurt, hurt real bad, but...crying wasn't the expression of a winner. This was nothing like her, she was aware, but...how else is she going to have everyone else look her as a competent fighter...?

"...If you keep treating me like a baby, you're not worth even the warm-up."

After that boast, Lidelle leaped into the air and covered herself in ice before coming crashing down on the pinkette. if the attack connected, Raffina would feel the brunt of a torrent of snow...and possibly Lidelle on top of her at the end of it all.

Raffina just kind of blanched for a moment, sheepishly grabbing at the hemline of her skirt in a self-conscious manner. "--H-Hey, what kind of--??^{((logic is that??))} Are you--??^{((saying you're the man??))}" Raffina stammered out in an abjectly confused manner, looking down at herself with a very flustered expression on her face. She had so many conflicting feelings and exactly zero clue about this loving other girls stuff. Hey when did they cement their relationship anyway?? Was it the kiss?? Was that how this worked? She was highkey intimidated by that look Amitie was giving her. What did she do?? Was it because she wasn't good at hiding her feelings? Did she push too hard?? Raffina froze up as a burst of anxiety came over her.

...And promptly got pummeled with attacks. Raffina staggered backward, and was promptly slammed against the ground by Lidelle's attack, leaving Lidelle on top of her and hitting her head very hard in the process. The world spun, and for a moment it seemed like she might just lose consciousness. A few moments later, she managed to pull out of her and grimaced, realizing Lidelle was holding her down. She seemed slightly out of it, but grimaced indignantly at her situation. Raffina squirmed and kicked underneath Lidelle, trying valiantly to fight her way free!

p_1d20+4 (Raffina attempting to break free of Lidele's grapple; It was a critical grapple, so y'know. Failure)

Only to find herself unable to overpower Lidelle even in a contest of physical strength. Her cheeks turned a bit red at this in disbelief and Lidelle could just see the confusion racing across her features, the shock and indignation at being overpowered by the smaller girl. The resentment... Her composure was visibly cracking. And then she leaned up and opened wide, attempting to use the only weapon she had that wasn't pinned to the ground. She was trying to devour Lidelle!!

p_1d20+4 ((Raffina attempts to use her cookpot to devour Lidelle! ...But in all fairness, it doesn't make any logical sense for her to be able to succeed while Lidelle is overpowering her and holding her down. So this should probably auto-fail.))

...Only she wound up snapping her teeth at the air rather uselessly and growling in frustration, unable to get any leverage against Lidelle with which to push her in. It was a panicked and desperate attempt to get Lidelle off of her that probably didn't accomplish much besides make her look foolish and maybe surprise Lidelle. She could feel Raffina trembling a bit with rage in her grasp--or perhaps fear? Maybe a little of both? "Y-You..." Raffina seethed, but she just kind of trailed off and fell silent. Her head was full of panicked screaming and she didn't know what to do. She awkwardly attempted to headbutt Lidelle, but this failed for the same reason devouring her had failed.

"Um--...Miss Raffina?" Rider called over. "Should we stop..? I'm not sure ..." Rider awkwardly began, clearly uncomfortable with the way Amitie had just looked at her. This whole fighting thing was pretty new to her and she wasn't confident she liked it. Why did she have to make her friends mad..? "--Yes!! Keep fighting! You don't just give up! Not while your allies are down and counting on you!!" Raffina irritably scolded, startling Rider quite hard. "S-Sorry!!" Rider blurted out in response, clearly somewhat upset by Raffina's yelling. "...And just as soon as... I get free, you can count on me." Raffina sharply added, squirming rather hard again in a second bid to escape. Yet, it was no use. For at least the time being, she was helpless in Lidelle's grasp. Moments later, the audience would fall mostly silent as a sharp wave of cold washed over the entire stadium, burning everyone it touched and stealing their energy away. Several people panicked and could be observed passing out in the stands. This no longer felt like mere cold. A more discernible tug could be felt. A burning sensation. That tug... was pulling in Rider's direction.

p_1d20+2 (Rider's Critical Letargia @ Lidelle and Amitie; Targets CON, Does 27% damage and heals Rider for 3% for every target it hits)

((Rider has absorbed some of Amitie and Lidelle's essences!!))

Rider took a deep breath to try and calm herself. The first indication that anything was weird would be when she opened her eyes. Her gaze rose to Amitie. Her eyes were green instead of her usual blue. She then blinked. They were blue again.

(...Why do I feel different? Hold on--)

Rider's eyes widened and she seemed to take a deep breathe. She then promptly emitted a supernatural SCREAM of a roar that sent a shockwave racing across the arena, passing by or through Amitie and shaking the arena walls rather violently on impact.

p_1d20+2 (Rider's Gale Force Breathe @ Amitie; Targets CON, Does 22% damage and stuns if Amitie fails her resistance roll by 6 or more. Also has a 50% chance of paralyzing)

If one were to observe Rider after emitting that terrible roar, they'd be able to observe that her pupils were now like slits, and they might even catch a glimpse of scales beginning to grow over and replace her skin. However, a very flustered Rider quickly hid her face in her arms. "E-Excuse me...!" she softly cried, humiliated by her outburst. She just couldn't catch a break with these apologies. And then, another feeling came to her. She snapped to attention, her ears perking up as if she'd been startled by something. She then started running at Amitie, turning about at the last moment and throwing herself booty first at Amitie!

p_1d20 (Rider's Hip Bash @ Amitie; Does 26% damage and has a 30% chance of afflicting infatuation)

A soft squeak of surprise would escape Rider if she hit her mark, somehow not having expected the heartsplosion. She would land nearby, giggling light-heartedly at what she'd just done. "...I think I liked that one. Hehe" she remarked. Was that a hint of cheekiness in her tone? Noteworthily, she declined to apologize for that one. She wondered, however, if Ms. Accord would've approved. ...Peach probably would've, though, and that made her feel a bit less insecure.

p_1d100 (Paralysis resistance? What's that?)

The mysterious cold had reached a 'boiling point', so to speak, as some weird burning tug-y feeling started to make itself known. Despite this, the two combatants that the attack was supposed to target had not reacted much. Amitie grit her teeth as she kept on moving...well, at least before she got blown away by a roar, and Lidelle was too busy with what was

Lidelle saw Raffina's attempts at resistance flop badly. The focused look quickly gave to confusion, and then...tears? Was she crying? Why? Despite the tears streaming down, her face contorted into one of anger as she (erratically) attempted to stomp on Raffina repeatedly, accidentally discharging a bit of cold alongside the legs.

After the outburst (and assuming Raffina didn't escape the smol's grasp), she grabbed the pinkette by the collar, staring down at her with a glare that gleamed a rather ominous yellow. "...Are you...going easy on me?" Lidelle asked. Her tone was cold, bordering on emotionless. "Well, are you?" she asked again, her tone and volume remaining the same, but her anger was slowly but surely dissipating from her eyes. "Am I not...good enough to make you go all out against?" The yellow gleam was gone, and only sorrow remained on her face. "...that's fine." A smile crept up, though it was quite blatantly false. If Raffina was still within her grasp, she'd let go of the collar, but kept herself on top of her opponent. "Heh...maybe I was crazy after all. I'm still...weak and pathetic. Even Rider's stronger than me..."

(Why am I lagging behind? What am I doing wrong? Am I just...supposed to be weak? Is that just...how it has to be?)

"..." There's a bit of silence from her...well, unless you count the sobbing and hiccuping. "S-still...e-even if you don't f-find me worthy of fighting y-your fullest...I'm...I'm gonna give it my all to defeat you! I wanna win! I'm g-gonna show everyone...that maybe...I can be strong too...one day..." she stammered out, her tears not hitting the breaks anytime soon. "A-and...to prove to you that I'm serious a-about this..."

Lidelle would then reveal to Raffina - and by extension the audience - that she had a cookpot with her. "...I-I uh...got this from...Arle. T-the one in red." Lidelle attempted to explain. "I-I'm...willing to bend my rules for the sake of...coming on top." she admitted, and then started to put the item to use...

p_1d20+2 ((Lidelle uses the borrowed cookpot from Shin!Arle to devour Raffina!))

Whether or not Raffina would end up resisting, Lidelle would then shift her targets to Rider, quickly firing a small rainbow at the other. "I think...that's enough bullying Amitie, don'tcha think...?" She joked, though she didn't laugh. She became rather emotionally numb because of her prior outburst.

p_1d20+2 (Lidelle's Love Magic @ Rider! 18+2 = 20% damage!)

"Pssh! D-don't worry about me, Liddie." Amitie said, coughing a bit as she recovered from the roar attack. "I have a lotta energy to spare!" she attempted to reassure the other. It was then that she noticed her legs being a bit numb, and Rider trying to hip bash her.

...Yeah, no, she wasn't gonna take any risks.

As she braced herself, a bubble shield had enveloped her, tanking the booty attack meant for her. "Nope! Denied!" she would say as the shield shrunk.

(Amitie shields the Hip Bash! 50 > 14 Shield HP!)

Once she was in the clear, Amitie took a deep breath as she was surrounded by a pink aura. Her outfit slowly shifted, becoming noticeably frillier than her usual gear. As she exhaled and the pink aura burst slightly, her outfit would look like something Peach would've probably made if she ever had the chance to redesign Amitie's clothes.

(Amitie's activated her Frills of Justice! +2 bonus to all her stat rolls...with the exception to the Charisma-based ones, which gain a +4 instead for 3 turns!)

"Sorry 'bout this...but if Liddie's gonna pull out all of the stops, then I will too!" she would say to Rider as she would start sucking air in with her mouth...this motion was so strong, it would start to pull Rider towards Amitie if she wasn't careful! Wait...was she trying to...?!

p_1d20+7 (Amitie's CRITICAL Devour @ Rider! ...to be honest, I'm not sure if this supposed to deal damage, but it is a grapple!)

"Bayoen!" Amitie would then chant, her eyes shining as she made an adorable pose, which was all but accentuated with her frillier equipment. Two translucent green flowers floated above both Amitie's and Lidelle's heads, tending to their wounds.

Raffina softly whimpered and yelped in pain and distress as Lidelle stomped on her face, further messing it up. Wh-Why did she keep going for her face?? That was one of her most valuable assets!! And... well... she was starting to look pretty... not pretty. Those were some pretty nasty bruises, especially that one on her eye. It looks like she was half blind! Her nose was lowkey broken. And worst of all, ...her makeup was ruined! She was still holding on, however, barely able to continue fighting.

And then... Lidelle... accused Raffina of taking it easy on her. ...Huh? Did she think she was letting her re-arrange her face like this?? That was--...Actually yeah, she could roll with that. Yeah! She was totally letting Lidelle win. That was all. She could let everyone believe that, and it probably wouldn't be too hard to deal with Lidelle later. Nothing a short talk couldn't fix, right?

...Oh hell, Lidelle thought she was taking it easy on her. And she was mad!

Raffina was just kind of quietly and warily watching Lidelle with her good eye, unsure whether she should struggle or feign helplessness until she could figure out a smarter plan than just embarrassing herself. Oh gosh she hoped Lidelle didn't step on her other eye. She would so hate being blind--...Was that--...Raffina grimaced slightly. That traitor! Hold on, did that mean...--Raffina emitted a fittingly girly yelp of alarm as she was pulled in and gobbled up whole!

((Lidelle gains a +1 to her strength and constitution modifiers from Raffina!))

Vanishing into the depths of Lidelle's stomach, Raffina was squished into a ball by its rather slimy embrace. For a moment she was stunned, her face turning red as a tomato as she took in her surroundings. The many little movements around her, the audible nearby beating of a battle-ready heart. A very wet heat. And then... she began to squirm and push out against the walls of Lidelle's belly, as if attempting to squirm her way free of its embrace! Of course, this was ineffective and mostly just resulted in some swaying and distending from Lidelle's belly, as well as a few more pronounced protrusions in the vague shape of a hand or foot that even still probably went partially hidden by her dress. Much as it probably felt a bit strange, it was also quite weak and basically painless. Raffina was being squished and squeezed to such an extent that she was really wasn't getting anywhere trying to overpower Lidelle's stomach muscles, which easily squished her back down moments after each push and shove.

((Raffina uses Vento! It does 8% damage. Lidelle can roll 1d15+2x Con to resist it and lower the damage it does, with extra offset being added to the damage she does via digestion))

((Raffina uses Vento again! 8% Damage))

((Raffina uses Vento a third time! 8% Damage))

"L-Let me out!! I refuse to be your lunch!!" Raffina's indignantly shouted, her voice cracking several times in a rather embarrassing fashion. You could just hear how red her face was. And Blue's comments certainly didn't help there! She was shouting as loudly as she could manage. Which... wasn't very loud actually, considering how muffled her voice was inside Lidelle. But Amitie might be able to hear her if she was nearby after she was done with Rider. 

Speaking of Rider...

Iph|6LbOp_1d20+1 (Rider's love magic dodge; failure!)


Rider clumsily just kind of froze up and got floored by Lidelle's love magic, falling over with a squeak of alarm as an explosive force bowled over her. She got back up and timidly bowed her head. "I-I'm sorry... I just wanted Miss Raffina to be happy with me..." Rider quickly apologized and explained. She seemed incredibly nervous. As she spoke though, she turned to try and glance around for Raffina, only to realize she couldn't find her. "...Raffina..?" Rider asked in confusion, not immediately spotting her teammate. For a moment that spooked her, but her ears perked back up as she turned back around and  noticed Lidelle was looking a bit rounder around the mid-section. Her ears fidgeted a bit. Those were definitely Raffina sounding grunts of distress coming from in there. Then she observed movement and you could see her eyes widening with realization. And then... she... smiled? 

Lidelle and Amitie could observe Rider smile for a brief moment before quickly hiding her mouth behind her sleeves. She then hid he By the looks of it, she was fighting back a giggling fit. Did she--...Did Lidelle... eat Raffina?? ...Don't laugh at your teammate's failures. Don't laugh at your teammate's failures that's mean! Don't laugh--...The cutest, timidest little involuntary giggle escaped Rider and she promptly hid her face for a moment. Yeah, no, that was hilarious.

"...Is it okay if I feel kinda good about what just happened?"

"I mean, I know Miss Raffina probably doesn't. But seeing Lidelle turn someone I used to think was really strong and powerful into a snack makes me feel... ...strong, and powerful~! Like m-maybe I could be that strong too if I tried hard enough... After all, you're me, right~? ...I'm sorry if I'm talking too much. I just think you're both really pretty and cool. ...Especially right now~ Ehehehe"

Rider was beaming brightly at her opponents, overflowing with appreciation and admiration. ...And then the wind kicked up. Rider snapped to attention and looked... in the opposite direction of Amitie. ...That was pretty powerful wind. Where was it coming from?? She didn't have much time to think before the intensity of the vacuum got strong enough to start pulling her in. It was only then that she looked back and noticed what Amitie was doing. A squeak of alarm escaped her and she began trying her hardest to run away!

p_1d20+1 (Rider's Devour Dodge! ...Failure)

...Only to accidentally step on her dangling sleeve after a moment and go tumbling to the ground, only to get immediately plucked off the ground and pulled back into Amitie! With emphasis on 'into'. Rider plopped down into Amitie's belly with a muffled kerplunk. Well--She didn't feel so strong now anyway. And when she'd imagined herself wearing Amitie's beautiful dress moments ago... she hadn't quite imagined it like this! Amitie could feel her wriggle and squirm a bit, but as a certified wimp her squirming mostly just felt more like an oddly paced belly rub than an attack. A distressed whine escaped her, and moments later... "--Wh--...E-Everything's pink!!" Rider's muffled voice blurted out in surprise. She wasn't sure what she'd been expecting, honestly, but a girly, almost pastel pink wasn't it. "A-And... gooey..." Rider added, whining a bit more. She didn't need much more motivation to try and find a way out.

Amitie would be able to feel Rider attempting to push upward against her chest in a bid to free herself. However, after a few unsuccessful pushes that failed to get her anywhere, she resorted to trying to fight her prison... by shocking it with electricity.

(( Rider's Fulmini! Does 20% damage which Amitie can lower with a 1d15+2x Con roll same as Lidelle ))

...But, the thing about that was, a stomach was a muscle. And when you apply a strong electric current to a muscle they generally tense up and constrict as hard as possible. Thus, by shocking Amitie from inside her stomach, Rider inadvertently caused it to squeeze her as hard as it could, inadvertently squishing her in a somewhat painful manner, like being hugged except way too hard and from all directions. Rider gasped in pain, but found it very difficult to do much more than wriggle a little while she was being squeezed like this. Of course, after the moment passed and the electricity was gone, Amitie would be able to relax her abdominal muscles and let up a bit. ...Or, she could keep them tensed, or even flex them if she wanted to be playful about it.
