“Hey. Everybody and their Ganchan may be looking for your Divine Spark, but we’ll beat them all to it.” Daisy stooped down and placed her hand on Valorie’s shoulder encouragingly. “Because we’ve got the one thing no one else does: You. Just like you’ve got us.” She moved her free hand back and forth between hers and Valorie’s chests. “You counted on us to help you up when you couldn’t stand. And if this Divine Spark’s what it takes to get you up on your feet for real again, then you can count on us to find it! Whatever it takes!” She stood up tall and pumped her gloved fist into the air. “We’re sisters and this’ how we do, am I right?” She gestured to the rest of the MGS members in attendance for feedback.

What she got instead was not what she was expecting.
“Jokes on you, Rudy…” Daisy cracked her knuckles and stretched her shoulders as everyone began their assault on Marx.

Unexpectedly, Daisy started her fight, by not fighting. She hoed a patch of soil under her dress with her heel and sprinkled some magic seeds into it, burying them with her shoe.
If someone paid attention and wondered why this didn’t dirty her shoes: Magic. Magic she was about to demonstrate even more of.

Daisy then down and through a combination of Love Magic and her natural green thumb, she apparated a turnip sprout, poking out of the floor. Grabbing onto it tightly, she managed to pull an entire turnip out of the ground where one hadn’t been before.

(PwbFJknhp_1d20-1 Daisy’s Vegetable; will do 12% Damage)

“…She already lives on a farm~.” Daisy winked at Valorie as she pet her new turnip with a giggle. Bouncing it in her non-dominant hand, Daisy then pulled out a baseball bat from the magical dress folds where she kept her parasol. She then tossed the turnip into the air like a Tennis serve, and batted it at Marx with more force than merely throwing it.

Yumiko and Witch
"Whoops! Missed me! Too slow~" Marx chirped as he blipped to and fro, vanishing in t he blink of an eye only to reappear nearby as he dodged each of Yumiko's attacks, seemingly showing off. This was quickly followed by a squeak of confusion as a black holed formed closely enough to him that he was drawn in, only for him to suddenly re-appear nearby with an unamused frown upon his face. "I am calling my lawyers." he stated in a matter-o-fact tone. He then blipped back out of existence again, dodging Witch's Tachyon, before re-appearing on her head! He then promptly began bouncing up and down on top of her, pushing her hat down over her head and generally making himself difficult to deal with. "What am I talking about?? I don't have any lawyers. I guess we'll just have to settle this the old-fashioned way~!" Marx cheerily recanted, before vanishing. Suddenly a portal opened above Witch, dropping a big, heavy log perfectly upright behind her. A moment later crackling blue energy manifested around Witch's waist, yanking and restraining her against the log.

Marx then appeared before Witch in a mini judge's robe. "...Guilty! Guilty guilty guilty guilty!" he chided, before tossing his gavel at her head. "For the crime of stealing my schtick, I sentence you to..." he began in a cheery tone before abruptly shifting to one full of a sadistic glee. "...burn at the stake."

He then promptly vanished, his judge outfit falling to the ground without him. The ground around the log and beneath Witch's feet opened up into a deep pit with a 20 foot radius. Within the pit, a sea of Hellfire awaited. Wicked imp-like figures made entirely out of flames leaped and lunged over each other for an attempt to get at her, giggling and laughing as their claws of flame dug into her clothes and legs, cutting into them like burning knives through butter. The blast of heat radiating from the pit sears your lungs with every breath and your eyes tear up uncontrollably in an attempt to protect themselves from the extreme heat.

((Witch! You are being successfully counter-attacked for 50 damage. Plus a burn. DC 18 Con check to avoid being rendered Disabled (Dexterity) for the rest of the thread due to severe damage to your legs. DC 18 Int check to avoid being afflicted with fear. You are also being grappled. And worse yet, trying to struggle free of this grapple will doubtlessly cause the log to fall over into the pit, taking you with it. An ally will need to choose to rescue you.))


Serena, Orb, and Ash
Marx re-appeared nearby, looking around for someone else to mess with before being thrown on the defensive by a series of close hits from Serena and at least one from Orb, flashing them both dirty looks. He was then driven away by yet another unexpected hit from Ash's gastly, coughing a bit and squealing as he recoils from a ghostly flame before vanishing. He'd have to come back and deal with them later... There was too much crossfire to pull off any pranks here. Marx began soaring away...


Shantae
...Only to catch sight of Shantae taking shots at him from afar. Shantae, a moment before your fireball hits Marx vanishes and appears right in your face, screaming with enough force to delete you from this universe, launching you straight into another one! You hit the in the deserts of New Mexico.

((Shantae! You got SCREMMED. You take 50 damage and are temporarily afflicted by Disabled (Wis).))

...Standing across from you, now wearing a colorful poncho, cowboy boots, and cowboy hat, is Marx. He has turned his gaze down, blinding himself intentionally with the lowered brim of his hat. As Shantae shoots her magic bullets at him, he chews on something, standing perfectly still as the wind flutters in his poncho, allowing her to miss him. Perhaps she expected him to move, but no--It was just Marx, posing cooly in the wind. "--Ow." Marx lamely mutters as one shot does hit him. ...Dangit. He almost got away with it too. Uuuuuuuuuuh... This was anticlimactic. He glanced to and from where the magic bullet had hit him a couple of times before shouting. "DRAW!!" ...He then teleported over to Shantae and drew a homerun bat from a sheath hidden behind his poncho, smashing her with it in a single strike! "HAH!"

((Shantae! You are being smashed through the blast zone straight back onto Li! You take 30 damage and are afflicted with Mortal Wound))

Crash! Shantae smashes through the barrier between worlds and winds up crashing back down onto Li! Marx promptly appears next to her, still in his colorful poncho and cowbow hat, standing all stoic-like next to her for as long as it takes to hocks a big acid loogie onto her before she can get up and then vanish with a laugh, his costume once again falling to the ground.

((Shantae! Acid Slime all over ya'. You might need a bath. You are afflicted with a burn. ))


Daisy
Marx re-appears, laughing with delight, only to duck at the last moment to dodge a veggie being tossed at him. He then turns around, only for a second veggie to get planted firmly in his mouth. "Bweh--?" Marx sputters out, before spitting out the vegetable and holding up his hands in a helpless shrugging gesture. "Who owns the farm? I've been looking to buy a couple of cows..." Marx light-heartedly teases, grinning toothily at Daisy once he finished. A phone then began ringing, which he promptly pulled out of ...somewhere, holding up to his ear. "Whoops! Phone call. Yello~! I've gotta take this. Be right back..." Marx remarked, before vanishing with the phone.


Orb
...And re-appearing before Orb! "I'm ba--BWAAAAGH" Marx began to announce only to abruptly spew a giant meme laser at Orb, launching himself backwards in the process.

p_1d20+9 (Marx's Critical Meme Laser @ Orb; Does 150 Damage)
p_1d20+9 (Crit Confirm for another 150 Damage)

"...Excuse me~!" Marx politely commented, dabbing at his lips with a spontaneously procured handkerchief.


Ash and Gastly
He then tossed the handkerchief, which soared with a supernatural force behind it, expanding in size until it was quite large! It was soaring toward... Ash and Gastly! Worse yet, it had taken on likely Marx related properties enabling it to resist the efforts of ghosts to pass through it. It then attempts to wrap the two of them up and tie itself like a sack!

p_1d20+9 (Rock Em' Sack 'em @ Ash; Grapples both, blinds both while they're grappled, and poisons Ash as a consequence of being trapped in an enclosed, cramped space with poison gas pokemon gastly.)


Serena
Suddenly Marx vanished and Serena could feel something jostling her purse as Marx pushed his face through the top of it from within. "Peekaboo!" he announced, before yanking Serena down into her own purse! The purse then began to stretch and bulge in various directions in a cartoonish manner, seemingly indicative of an intense fight going on within.

p_1d20+3 (Marx's Beat Up @ Serena; Does 30 Damage. This damage also represents starvia exposure, which means it cannot be healed during this thread, effectively reducing your maximum health.)

The purse then spat Serena back out! Only she she was now wearing nothing other than a barrel with straps holding it to her shoulders, Marx's hat, and some clown makeup. Standing nearby, Marx was wearing a very convincing Serena wig, Serena's hat, Serena's shirt, and Serena's skirt which obscured his feet entirely due to not being sized for him. He was also wearing fake eyelashes and a bit too much makeup, admiring himself in a compact mirror he probably stole from Serena's purse, which he now carried in his other hand. "I think I wear it better, don't you~?" he brattily remarked before turning to Yveltal and striking a sassy pose as he pulled out Yveltal's pokeball and activated it to return them! "Kentucky Fried Death, return~!" he chirped.

p_1d20+7 (Marx's Critical Return @ Yveltal; Serena now has no pokemon left! Not unless she wants to try giving Orb orders, anyway. Summoning a new pokemon will cost an action as if she'd switched, but Marx has her pokeballs...)


Daisy
Poomf! "I'm back!" Marx announces, re-appearing before Daisy, still in his Serena 'disguise'. He then promptly grabbed Daisy by her cheeks and gave her a biiiig smooch! It was a kiss that would steal her breath away! ...Permanently.

p_1d20+5 (Marx's Critical Smooch @ Daisy; Deals 30 and heals Marx for 60 HP. Also infatuates and mind-melts Daisy. Feel that? That's the insanity. Apparently it's contagious.)

"Wa-ha~!" Marx laughs as he bounces back, only to pause and feign shock. "Wait a minute! You're not Princess Peach! And I do not settle for wannabe princesses from third rate kingdoms nobody has ever heard of. Gotta go~!" he casually sassed with a wave of his hand in his best Mean Girls impression before vanishing to go pick on someone else.

p_1d20+8 (Daisy! Marx is attempting to manipulate and hurt you. Roll INT to resist. Else take 30 psychic damage and be afflicted with berserk)


Yumiko
Yoink! Marx is appearing next to Yumiko and making a grab for her. He then begins... trying to fold her into a pretzel! With all the pain that implies.

p_1d20+3 (Marx's Origami Technique @ Yumiko; Does 60 Damage and afflicts Disabled (Dexterity))

He then casually drops a lit bomb next to Yumiko and chuckles before vanishing again, hoping she isn't able to recover from her brutal folding before it explodes.

p_1d20+7 (Marx's Bomb; Does 30 Damage)


Valorie and Witch
Valorie observed Marx teleport around the battlefield in a discreet horror. That... seemed pretty problematic. Dude could be anywhere he wanted, anytime he wanted. How was she even supposed to hit him? Take him off guard, she guessed? The sight of what he was doing to Witch made Valorie scowl, though. If he thought she was just going to stand here and let him burn her secret --...her totally platonic teacher, he was mistaken! She began to summon a pair of green fists in the air before her, ready to send them out to grab Witch, free her, and carry her out of danger. However, before she could, a group of needle-thin strings dangled down around her, latching onto her limbs, her hips, her neck... Suddenly she was strung up like a puppet! And none other than Marx was holding the controls. He manipulated and tugged them, forcing her to step back and hold up her arms. The energy constructs mimicked her movements, preventing them from advancing or grabbing Witch.

"What'cha doin', Valorie~?" Marx asked in a knowing, almost suggestive tone.
"--Nnn-Nothing??" Valorie compulsively lied, squirming against the string a bit in an effort for control.
"Gonna ruin my fun~?"
"No...?"
"Gonna rescue your Wishy Washy?"
"........Yes?"
"No..." Marx smugly whispered

Valorie whined a bit in distress, attempting to take a forceful step forward. Her leg was dragged back, however, with a jerk from the controls. "Wave goodbye~!" Marx gleefully commanded, as he manipulated Valorie's arm to clumsily wave at Witch. Her energy fist turned a shade of red and began to destabilize, wavering slightly in the air. "--WITCH!!" Valorie screamed, trying to pull against the strings in an effort to break them.

p_1d20-4 (Valorie's grapple resistance)
p_1d20+3 (Marx's Control; Deals 10 Damage)

...But a string merely tightened around her neck in response, choking her. They were cutting into her skin as she struggled against them, leaving painful injuries and bruises at her major joints. Struggle as she might. Thrash as she might, Marx was just making her do goofy dances instead of getting anywhere. ...And then something inside her snapped. A moment of clarity and strength. Valorie thrust her arm with newfound force, managing to push it out and launch one of the red energy fists at Witch with an open palm. It slammed into the log, knocking it and Witch away from the pit. As this was happening ...the strings attached to that arm cut through her, maiming the arm several times in quick succession. Valorie's energy constructs vanished, and she stared at her now useless arm in horror. She then collapsed and broke down sobbing.

((Valorie takes 60 damage and is afflicted by disabled (strength) permanently as well as mortal wound))

"...You are the worst liar." Marx scolded in an exasperated, annoyed tone.

[Kalos Champion Serena]

Serena tried to follow the jester with her eyes... her attempts failing miserably as he was just flying and teleporting all over the place.... Worst yet he seemed to be rather casually pulling off cartoony shenanigans without a care... Except these toons do not have a fun ending. However something that caught her eye during the battle was a small monochrome Yvetal... Is that what the Orbish thing turned into. It lacked some of Yvetal's killing power but still very strong. She thought about this as while the wild west showdown went on... Just then the Yvetal got blasted by a giant laser to which she went wide eyed. What was this thing *not* capable of?! "Ash!" she called before Marx disappeared... Where did he go now?

dgFhxY0Ip_1d20+10(Serena's reflexes)

Just then she felt her bag rustle... Marx was gone and could be anywhere at any moment. So it wasn't hard to guess where he was now. Looking down at him beginning to peek out she was swiftly grabbed and pulled in with a shriek.. She managed to evade most the attacks inside the bag thankfully before she was ejected out of it... And noticed her outfit was completely and ridiculously altered. "Hey! Give those back! This is not either of our styles," she calls out. This was his worst trick clearly... before the alien creature... pulled out her Pokeball. He got her Pokeballs too?! Yvetal wasn't expecting the recall being forced back into his Pokeball as he was returned and taken away from his master before the alien just teleported away once more. She lowered herself into the barrel a bit in shame. She failed to protect her Pokemon and her dignity. She couldn't fight something like him on her own. She didn't have her clothes to even defend herself and what'll she do if she can't get them back??? She closed her eyes ready to give up.... Until she remembered something. She still had one Pokemon!

"... Psst!" It seemed Orb was still alive so she ran over while Marx was out doing chaos. "Care to be my Yvetal for a moment? I need your help getting back what was taken from me," she requested. "Cover me best you can," she requested before turning to Marx. "Yvetal! Attack him," She commanded her substitute Pokemon before using her barrel as cover... What? It was the best she had right now... She aimed to jump up and grab the Pokeballs and bag off Marx's person, hoping the distraction worked under his nose

[Witch]

"... Lawyers? Seriously? You're not turning this into a court match!" Witch objects to Marx's shenanigans... However she lowers a finger as he disappears from sight. She's never seen teleportation that effortless and quick before. Then he appeared on her head and started bouncing irritably. She would try to grab him and cease his nonsense if she wasn't too busy trying to get her hat readjusted by pulling against the bounces.

Just as he stopped and she managed to yank her hat free of her head a binding force pulled her against a totem. She winced as the gavel hit her forehead stopping her wiggling as she felt the pain... At his declaration however there was a severe mix of horror and anger on Witch's face at the implication Marx just turned this into a witch trial. The emotions inside her battling for dominance. A hell pit opened beneath her too blasting her with unbearable heat. Her clothes were damaged and her legs were greatly injured. She cried uncontrollably with a grimace on her face. She was so helpless right now. If she moved too much she would fall into the abyss and she was unsure she'd get back out. She had pride but she wasn't stupid and was aware she had limits.

... She resigned herself to the poking as she tried to think of a solution... Any solution. With Marx going all over the place and beating people up while she was stuck here to a monument of witch cruelty... It was infuriating. The fear lost out to the much greater emotion. Spite, rage and frustration. She had something to fight for and she had to fight for it no matter what. She was not about to be persuaded otherwise.

YWIy0bSPp_1d20-2(disabled)
p_1d20+2(But not scared)

She gave a smile to Valorie though as she prepped to rescue her just to frown at Marx catching on and capturing her. "Valorie!" She called as her love interest was pulled away by magic strings and prevented from helping her. She wished she could do something... Anything! Her helpless right now was infuriating! She can't cast spells like this and she can't get herself down safely...

When things were looking down, Valorie injured herself to save Witch, freeing her from her torment as the monument fell over safely... Alright! Now it was time to act! Witch felt her body heat increase with her anger and soar dramatically as her outfit flickered red. Flames engulfed her before she gave a strained burst of fire to set herself free from the entrapment and complete the transformation of firepower.

(Witch has broke free of the stake)
(Witch turned into her Blazing Star Form)

This form was strong but it had a weakness she was well aware of... One she intended to resolve swiftly. "BLAZING METEOR!" she declared as she ran with a noticeable limp for Valorie. She used the falling firey rock to explode against him in a blast of orange flames to buy her a bit of time. She would hunch over to Valorie to whisper to her. "Listen, this form consumes a lot of mana so I need you to do me a favor and give me some of your power and help me from the inside. Get inside me, now," Witch ordered, not really having time to be less blunt about it because Marx could be on them at any second. It was unspoken but Witch also felt it'd be a lot safer for Valorie in there than out here. She didn't want to keep seeing her get more and more crippled and if she had to used her body as a shield she will. She would then swiftly devour Valorie into her belly, wasting as little time as she could... Unless the other made an express attempt to stop her anyway.

"There are two unforgivable sins to me. The first is persecuting a Witch by fire or other barbaric methods. The second is bringing harm to my pet! You have done both so now I'll personally send you to the fires of Hell myself!" She threatens with a blazing determination and rage filling her... Way more protective than one might be over a pet but she had to keep to the lie for both of them really... Mostly herself. Her insides are also a bit warmer than normal if Valorie was in there but not unbearably so.

(Witch is trying to devour Valorie to provide her with a constant energy source. She'll stop if Valorie halts her so consider it a willing nom. This is mechanically her third action even if she does it after Blazing Meteor)

[Sunnivale]

JbX5rrmdp_1d20+2(And she dodged the Pretzel twist attack!)

Yumiko was getting annoyed with Marx already. However unlike most joke enemies that she had faced, Marx was anything but, he had managed to dodge most of the group's attacks before proceeding to use some of his own, and some of his attacks appeared to be devastating. What's worse, the battle had already started and Marx was not showing any signs of slowing down.

At this rate, getting the spark will be difficult for the group, if they'll get it at all. "Crap, this might be one of the more tougher enemies." Yumiko said, backing away from Marx when he got near her and Witch, she watched as he pulled off multiple attacks from the group.

As Yumiko stepped away when Daisy gave her rousing speech to some of the Magical Girl members. She felt awkward, but shrugged and watched as Marx threw a bomb towards her after he tried to grab her and turn her into a pretzel.

"Ahh!" Yumiko summoned her bubble shield, but even that wasn't enough to shield her from the bomb. Some of it still managed to hit her, even if it was a little.

(Yumiko bubble shielded Marx's bomb, however her shield has broke and she gains 5% damage still from the bomb attack as it still managed to hit her.)

Landing on the ground, Yumiko quickly got up and looked towards everyone in the group. "That was my bubble shield just now that he just destroyed." Yumiko lit up her finger and aimed it towards Marx. She quickly fired the attack in question when he saw him choking the living daylights out of Valorie.

"Holy." Yumiko said quietly as she tried to create something that will scare Marx temporarily and will allow the group to land hits on him.

p_1d20+5(Mirage: Yumiko creates an illusion of the targets greatest fear to use against them. Because of how powerful the attack is, Yumiko is unable to use it again until three turns have passed, and those who are affected by her mirage will have a 100% chance of getting the fear status. (WIS))

"Shit, that wasn't strong enough." Yumiko felt bad for wasting an attack that could of helped the group. She had a chilling hunch that Marx was going to launch even more devastating attacks on the group soon, ones that will likely trophify them if they're not careful.

If some of them can even recover from this one!

Yumiko's hands became electric as she fired two shots of maziodyne towards Marx, she didn't want to risk using her diamond dust now at this rate.

[Nostalgia]

Oh wow, there were even more people around here! And it seems like they all agree that this guy is super evil apparently, so attacking them is fine... right? Seeing them vanish all over the place weaving between it all definitely felt... wrong. They must be a monster. Even worse when some of their teleports ended with... What exactly is happening to Witch? Whatever it was it should stop.

They didn't have much time to try and save them though, their new form just barely starting to try and move before Marx was right infront of them, making them jolt in surprise before being enveloped in the bright beam. Despite their surprise and their lagged response, when the time came their body flew out of the line of fire with a few (dozen) singes over their body, shaking and brushing themself with their wings with a dazed look.

That... sucked! Orb came to flop onto the ground, squishing out with a few blinks as they tried to process what was happening. They definitely understood why everyone was so angry about this thing showing up now, they were so mean! With a little flap they brought themself back up just in time to see someone being stolen from, that awesome bird from earlier vanishing for some reason. They moved to help, heading towards Serena. She seemed to be heading towards them too, letting them meet halfway pretty easily. They weren't 100% sure what she meant by 'cover', but they knew attack!

They brought their wings together, gathering up another ball of energy to send flying towards Marx! During that first attack they caught something interesting from the side, Serena was fighting too, and doing something that looked pretty interesting!

Okay...maybe using gas in a tunnel wasn't the best idea. He still has trouble minding his surroundings. "WAH!!" But Ash leaped away from the creature's grip, rolling on the ground before his barely got back on his feet and ran some more.

"Pika!" His faithful rodent hurried alongside Ash, scowling back at the nightmare creature. He'd attack, but they're bound to the rules. Gastly is Ash's active Pokemon, so Pikachu can't fight unless Ash recalls it.

"I'm going to need some more healing to get rid of this Mortal Wound, Daisy." Shantae would say as she starts to ready herself with another boost, this time the Half-Genie bolsters her offensive capabilities with some Monster Milk.

Shantae Drinks her Monster Milk, Boosting her STR modifier by +2 to offset the -2 STR debuffs from the Burn status!

“Didn’t your mama tell you to eat your veg-? Hey!” Daisy began to taunt before shielding her chest with her forearm at Marx’s comment. “Come back here! I’m not through with you!” She complained when Marx poofed away to answer the phone. Daisy quickly realized, if she had time to pout about it, she had time to water the seeds she just planted. Hastily producing a watering can from between the folds of her dress, Daisy poured a sprinkling of love, and by love we mean water infused with love magic, to supercharge the growth of the Piranha Plant seeds. With any luck, they’ll be sprouting before he gets back.

Unfortunately, not soon enough, as Marx returned looking even more like a fashion crime than before.
“Uh uh honey That hat with, with that blouse does your complexion absolutely no favor-Mmf!” Daisy tried to critique before Marx made a bid to grab her by the cheeks and smooch her on the lips.

“Bah! Pitooie! Bleh!” Daisy pulled herself free and immediately wiped her face, almost smearing her make up off into her glove. “Why you goshdarn screwy little…!” She fumed, hopping up and down in place before feeling woozy. Her heart rate increased and her jumps became lighter and slower to descend. “…handsome devil you~.” She cooed in confusion as poorly cut-out Heart Leaves began to flutter and swirl around her.

The Heart Leaves tore in two at Marx’s cruel words. “W-what? B-but I…I’m not…” She whimpered upon hearing this. “I’m more than just…No…No! How Dare You!” The Heart Leaves dried up and ignited. “No one disregards Princess Daisy like that!” She growled, the hearts in her eyes catching fire as well! “Not Bowser! Not Helen Gravely! Not the Mario Toy Company! And Especially not a Pipsqueak like Y…” She could just…She had half a mind to…Aw she couldn’t bring herself to hit that cute crazy Casanova, could she? Sure, she could. She was no stranger to tough love, and this looked like a job for tough love magic.
“Anyone who thinks they can, can Kiss! My!! Butt!!!” She battle-cried, water in her eye, swinging her hips around and jumping butt first to beat Marx in his two cheeks with her two cheeks, coated and reinforced by her frilly orange dress as if it were a boxing glove. A butt-punch that would result in an explosion of disorienting flower petals fluttering about and clouding all Marx's senses if it connects.

(p_1d20+6 Crit confirm!)

Folding her arms and crossing her legs, floating mid-air for a moment, still absorbed in the emotions of what she just went through, Daisy only now realized her friend Shantae had called out to her for help.
“Oh my! Of course! Right awae, Shantae!” She floated down beside Shantae, retrieving a teapot from where she put her watering can away. As if she carried a tea set in her dress, she pulled out a porcelain buttercup-shaped tea cup complete with saucer and poured some Happy Flower tea, boiled with the fiery passion of her soul and infused with love magic for extra healing potency. No matter what any man ever made her feel, Daisy would never, could never lose sight nor forget who the true loves of her life were. “Here, drink this! Before that heart breaker comes crawling back.”

(Daisy's cup of Herbal Healing: heals p_1d15+0 damage.)

...She might have missed the tea cup and spilled some in her confusion.
