*Roll for sanity check.*

*Milo starts firing at the clown every time it appears*
*he snarls again in anger as the shots don't appear to be hitting their marks*
*he notices the balloons but kinda dismisses them as important*

*the Space Wolf alternates between taking shots at the clown, an firing at the balloons that suddenly appeared out of nowhere*

OOC:

*Yuki scampers into the kitchen and hops onto the table to present herself*

Rachel: Beautiful... I-I like that!

---
*Ciri nods, and pulls off her robe slightly.*
*Her face has a few more scars, and her arm has numerous gashes running up it's length.
*Her hand has a slight twitch, as she follows Taeria.*
Ciri thinks :This is real... this is real... this is real...

---

Thaddeus: You are very beautiful..

Taeria: C-Ciri... you are all hurt.. w-what happened?

*Yuki tilts her head adorably and scampers to give Iris and little 'hello'. The little fox pads toward Hanna and its ears perk up*

*He's pretty much going to run out of ammo soon if he keeps this up*

*Hrorki keeps taking carefully aimed shots at the clowns that appear, but every once in a while he has to reload his pistol, which is rather awkward to do with just one arm*

*Hanna pulls back slightly*

Hanna: I-Iris it's getting closer! W-what do I d-do?

Administering nanophage bombardment. Please retreat to safe distance.

*Two more arcs of glittering silver nanophage erupt from the dispersor on ESCHER's arm, and rain down upon the crowd of clowns*

*Sanity check is a mild failure, and ESCHER's ætheric sensor array fails, as it goes into emergency shutdown at exposure to the clown-anomaly*

*Yuki curls up into a ball and plays with her swishing tail*
*She yawns and stretches gently*

Rachel: O-okay... Senpai.
*She tries to cover herself, and blushes wildly.*

---
*Ciri wipes away Tae's tears, and shakes her head.*
Ciri: It's okay... it's okay... I... fought some things while I searched for you.
*She kisses Tae, and nods.*
Ciri: Everything is fine now... you are back... you.. you are real.

---

---------------
*Taeria leads Ciri into the bathroom and they begin to both wash up*
----------------
*Yuki gently moves forward and allows Hanna to pet her. Yuki makes a little fox noise*

*Rachel blushes more, and waits for the bubbles to cover her up.*
Rach: Your too nice... Senpai...
*Sinks into the water, and watches Thaddeus chuckle and such. She smiles, and giggles.*

---
*Ciri has way more scars, but tries to play it off as no big deal.*

*Hanna squeaks as she pets Yuki*

Hanna: S-so soft!

*She is now petting with both hands*

*Since he was an idiot and used up all of his ammo, Milo is now resorting to throwing rocks at the clowns*
*he has a pretty good arm though, and the rocks are hitting with a respectable amount of force*
*internally screaming at his own stupidity*

*Hrorki awkwardly holsters his bolt pistol, and then he primes and hurls a frag grenade at the biggest concentration of clowns that he can see*
