And I can't leave Emerald City now, what with all that's going on!

Dizzy admitted, leaning back in her seat after Esther helped calm Amy down a bit, "It might not hurt to pull in a little extra firepower ... either of you two heard from She-Devil lately?  If the Golden Dragon Society is tangled up in things, we should probably at least tell her what's going on."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Both girls shook their heads. "No," Amy answered. "Last I recall she was deep undercover in the Eastern District, and she hasn't been at school the past few days last week. I hope we find her soon..."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><em>--The fitting shouldn't take more than half an hour, I'll grab my bike and catch up to you.  When she gets like this, it's easier just to give her what she wants while being vague about what you're doing.  <br/><br/>--If she presses, say I want to I'm going to grab some parts from Sam's and work on Amy's car, hang out around her place.  Maybe throw a romcom in the DVD player and nosh on an icecream cake, do a little classroom review in preperation for a test.  Pick geometry if she asks which course, her interest should dwindle.</em><br/><br/>She came out wearing a pair of white overall shorts over a black t-shirt, a black and white cap perched on her head with a somewhat derpy looking cartoon panda on it largely hiding her red hair.  It was cute, she happened to really <em>like</em> this silly little outfit.  More importantly for her purposes today, however, it was quick to get in and out of.<br/><br/>"When am I expected?" she asked, adjusting her cap and checking herself in the mirror, taking a half-turn to see how the fit pulled as she twisted at the waist.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Explaining absences came naturally to rebellious teenagers, and with the duties of masked vigilantism this skill became honed to a fine art. Armed and equipped with Dizzy's instructions, Amy and Esther took a seat opposite Ms. Harper with smiling faces.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">All of the members of the High School Heroine Society and She-Devil gain 1 Power Point each.</div></div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;"><strong>Meanwhile, in the Eastern District</strong></span></span><br/><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/AQttUY6.jpg?1)</div><br/><strong>Hero Points:</strong>2 (She-Devil)<br/><br/>Settled by Chinese and Japanese immigrants in the late 19th century, Emerald City's Eastern District is more a cultural name than a geographic one. Situated between the higher-lying Sunset and University Hills, it is home to Chinatown and Little Osaka, with a smattering of smaller immigrant communities from around the world. The stately multi-story Chinese Benevolent Association buildings expanded their business from humble beginnings to proud historical landmarks and philanthropic organizations, while quiet Buddhist temples sat nestled in the intersections of louder, busier, congested roads.<br/><br/>There were of course businesses catering to tourists and locals, and an unassuming massage parlor sitting at the dead end of a small back road wasn't out of place. There was a larger number of parked cars in the area, and the 100% male customer base sitting in the front lobby and open picture book on the counter with photos of attractive Asian women gave a hint as to what kind of massages really took place.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/HrZqqaJ.png?1)</div>A kindly-looking middle-aged lady chuckled softly as she counted the wad of bills in front of her. "Ah, a good choice," she said, not entirely paying attention to the paying customer. "You can find her in the back, third door to the right."<br/><br/>The woman's form flickered briefly, betraying only the slightest hint of auburn hair and more Caucasian-looking features, her shadow casting a pair of wings and horns.<br/><br/>"Oh, one more thing," she whispered as she leaned over to the man. "She's sterile and clean, so if you want to<em>feel everything,</em>you can."<br/><br/>She chuckled again, a more sinister tone to it as she reminisced about her latest catch. "Think you could be a monster slayer, eh? By the time he and the next dozen men are through with you, you'll be a monster layer, hehehehe."<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">And so we learn of the deliciously dire fate of She-Devil in...</span></span></div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;"><strong>Beautiful Prisoner of Lust!</strong></span></span></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Due to effectively failing her save against the Hellqueen's Phantasms, She-Devil starts out with 1 more Hero Point than usual</div></div>
