It was far too early for Nina to be carrying shopping bags yet, but she was in cheerful mood as she expected to bring back no less than a full bounty from her latest visit to fifth avenue. Not that they couldn't find these trifles in Europe, far from it, but it had a certain<i>je ne sais quoi</i>that was so delightful...<br/><br/>Someone bumped on her from behind. The statuesque Russian turned to complain, a firm grip on her purse, when she noted the tide of people. It was an awful idea to try to fight the flow in the high heels she was wearing, so she, under foreign protests, was pushed to the side. She could have been at the beach, and it would have been a tsunami. But she was in New York, so of course it had to be panic in the streets.And a giant robot.<br/><br/>Pressed against the wall, no one was paying any attention to her. She fished on her purse a few items, and brought it over her head. The incantation she whispered was almost instantaneous, and where once was a former beauty now stood a poor old lady. Manners didnt improve any, and she was still shoved... so not wasting a moment longer she conjured the gigantic mortar, took the no less gargantuan kettle in hands, and rowed herself up in the air. That finally got peoples attention, so she looked down, and... laughed. She had an image to keep, after all.<br/><br/>"Damn, they have those in America too?" As she fully recognized how big the first giant robot was, unaware there could be more. She got altitude, but once she could dive from above, she didn't waste a moment longer! She was like a sled going down the mountain, and with the unlikely magical weapon, she was going to give the robot a headache it wouldn't ever forget!<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
