"Ooh..." the Auxilia-drone in Kanina's arms stretched out languidly, waking from her torpor a bit after Kanina exited the hotel, "is this a kidnapping? Would you believe it's been a while since I've gotten kidnapped?" Auxilia apparently didn't have a very... normal reaction to that. Her voice was sleepy and she sounded like she was feeling<em>great</em>about it. "Are we going to your sex dungeon?" She stretched again, relaxing across Kanina's shoulder, "oh man, that armor suit guy really knows how to surprise you. You think he's just here to talk business and then boom, everything's stars and stripes. Sorry, am I rambling? I think I'm rambling."<br/><br/>The guy at the desk hadn't objected. Had Auxilia flashed him a thumbs-up? There had been a distinct arm-raising motion.<br/><hr/>Darclight was already springing into action, though, well before Auxilia's sleepy revival. He launched off the giant chainsaw like it was a springboard and iced the water all around the Kraken, hoping to slow it down. The ice quickly built up around the kraken, solidifying the seawater enough to at least surround it with mini-icebergs. It seemed to be going well until, with one great swell, the sea monster burst straight through the frozen water like a giant tentacled kool-aid man. Chunks of the shattered ice rained down and littered the surroundings, some of them finding their way into teacups.<br/><br/>"You know," one of the hypnotized people with Whitney said, "I don't think this party was supposed to have ice tea."<br/><br/>"Well, it certainly couldn't have a-<em>nice</em>tea!"<br/><br/>"Doh hoh hoh hoh!"<br/><br/>Atlantia stopped the chainsaw in her hands! It whirred furiously for a little bit, then slowed down once it understood its proper place in the pecking order. Suitably chastised, it whirred grudgingly as if to say, 'fine, you're the boss.'<br/><br/>"Doktor!" the winged devil's wings glowed purple and she flew to meet the two, having found herself a sorcerous staff with a pattern like twining twin snakes, "use the ice to slow biologic processes while you work! I will keep the patient stable!" She flitted toward the playful sea monster, slower than Atlantia but enough to keep out of its reach, for now.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Way too many dice to link them all!
