Things became a tiny bit awkward when Doll almost immediately scolded Echo for being late. "It's alright, if we're fast we can make it." Flo said in a warm sort of voice and Doll just gave her a stare. "Being late means more innocent humans are killed." Doll said and Flo almost floundered under that harsh tone. "A Rank 10 like us would have been there early to save as many as possible." Rank 10, huh? So that means that these two were among the best of the best in the Tower Society, and that made the pinkette wonder if it was possible for her to one day reach Rank 10 with luck and time. "It's good to see you, Echo, I got my inhaler! Let's go!" Doll was almost definitely disapproving and Christopher was almost restless, she could see on his face he'd rather be hunting down other Demon Barons that caused the Second impact rather than help the small fry get bigger.

So the four of them piled into Chris's car, following a signal that would locate their mark. "Annalise Stark is a demon that enjoys the use of puppets." Chris briefed them on the mission. "Expect her to have abilities that can disable a part of your body if you aren't careful." Disable? That sounded frightening... to anyone that didn't know how to think of multiple ways to win a fight. "It's your first hunt, so if you lose, you're just a disgrace to this Society." Doll said with a scalding inflection as they approached a park that was on fire, children were running and screaming and parents were trying to find their little ones to escape with. A demon was there, looking like a giant marrionnette, pulling a giant needle out of her eye to stab into her leg, making one girl suddenly fall over, her leg now useless. The demon fell as well, crawling with thin spindly limbs, catching up to the child and snatching her into her mouth.

"Here we are, your first real hunt. Well, Echo's fourth first hunt." Doll added with a haughty frown. Flo was frowning - this was definitely going to be a conundrum. Annalise Stark pulled the needle out of her leg then, regaining movement, inserting it back into her eye socket. "I have an idea." Flo suddenly smiled, a plan coming into her head. Of course it would be idiotic to just say it aloud. "Look how she hunts the children one by one, using only one nail at a time." The pinkette hoped her thoughts would transfer through the TB. Chris was scanning and then he nodded. "Synchro Rate at 62, not bad at all. Do your best, and remember, we're only here to save your life. Pray it doesn't come to that."

[color=#4ba348]"Fight her as normal, aiming to break her long thin limbs, and when she pulls the nail out I'll jump in front and take it for you so you still have your whole body available." That was the plan, all she could do now was hope for the best. "Echo, let's-" Okay, first, she needed to cough, quickly inhaling the mist from the puffer with a press of a button. With that done she left the car, heading closer to the tall demon stalking through the park, looking for more victims to devour. "This is the Tower Society, stop at once!" Almost immediately Annalise aimed herself at Echo and pulled a nail out from her large red eye. Flo grinned then and hopped in front, suddenly losing control of her leg, falling down onto her front. Searing pain, as if her leg had been pierced with a nail and Flo grunted but kept her wits about her. "Go, kill her quick, as fast as you can!"
