[Immediately post-Wonder Quartet]

[Private Message to Reiji:]
I protected your Keystone, like you wanted. You can consider this the end of our arrangement.

[Private Message to Hibiki:]
Hey. I'm gonna do my own thing from here on out. Take care of yourself, okay?

[Event:]
[Alexandra is immediately approaching a few people after the climax of the Wonder Quartet and Yuya's duel with Reiji. Top of that list includes Yuya, Yuma and Labrys. Before, in between or after she's spoken to those people, she's open to be approached by anybody else who was present in the Quartet.]

Oh, how aggressive, Cestus. But I do agree, we should be taking our parts in this. *Chakram rubs the back of his neck* Even if Skadi doesn't end up making an appearance, they could still send others to manipulate these people. Either way, if someone's attacking where we live now, it's not exactly none of our business.

[all_for_not]

Or even worse, they could use the dimensional travel to slip through and start feeding.

*that. would be patently worse, huh*

[grimgrimwar]

[Geez, Alex hadn't even thought of that.] Yeah, uh. Stopping this before the demons get involved would definitely be. Good. There's some more details about all of this...about what these guys can do and uh. The fact that they've been in this dimension and attacked people before. I can come back and we can all sit down and like. Talk about what we're gonna do, but I gotta take care of some stuff first. I gotta... [She grimaces.] I gotta call somebody as soon as I can.

[tachyonparticle]

... Alright.

Would you like me to take you back to the mainland, then?

[grimgrimwar]

M-mmn. I think that'd be best. Is there a way I can easily get back?

[all_for_not]

A boat. *... well, don't fix what isn't broken.* We don't have any stable warp set-up for those who aren't capable of creating gates, sorry.

[grimgrimwar]

I can make a boat.

[grimgrimwar]

Uhm. ... Maybe I can. Learn how to create gates myself? I do... [She concentrates and a red aura springs up around her and quickly shrinks to a few red wisps circling around her. Part of her hair turns red to match it.] I still have this.

[all_for_not]

*you can see how Failnaught looks uneasy, for... a reason you can probably guess, but he continues* It's very possible that you can, but the lack of a Core means it won't come naturally to you. However... Next time you come, we can see if we can teach you how to do it.

[grimgrimwar]

[Alex catches how uneasy he looks. She dismisses the aura and her hair goes back to normal.] Okay. Thank you.

[tachyonparticle]

Still, we can probably take our leave for now.

*the gateway forms again behind her and Alex.*

Failnaught, when I come back, there is something I'd like to speak with you privately about. So please wait up for me.

[all_for_not]

*he has half a mind to ask "about?", but he decides he'll find out soon enough.* Fine. Don't make me wait too long.

[grimgrimwar]

It was nice seeing you again Failnaught. It was nice to meet you officially, Lancea, Chakram. [Beat. She gulps.] ...Cestus. I'll...see you later. [She bows and then leaves through the gate with Labrys.]

[spectrecestus]

Hmn.

Seemed nervous.

Think it was because of you, Chakram.

[lanceandram]

What-- me?! She wasn't even surprised when Lancea popped up! She wasn't scared of me, but maybe she was hiding it to spare your feelings? You should be grateful that it didn't cause an issue...

[all_for_not]

*he considers saying it. "No, Cestus, she was probably nervous because of you leaning in before like that." ... But he decides he should take his leave now that Chakram's bought into it. Let them have their fun.*
