[QUOTE="pathfinderq1, post: 7025928, member: 48394"] Warp paused for just a moment, "watching" Kitsune first, then the Shadow, then Princess Starlight. After a second or so, waiting to see if anyone else wanted to chime in, she took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. "Listen, please don't take any of this the wrong way. I'm [U]really [/U]sorry if I'm not sounding like I'm fully on board here, but this is all really pretty new for me- if this wasn't happening right here, right now, I don't know if this costume would have ever seen the light of day. I wasn't sure if this was the right path for me." "But now I'm sure. And I'm here." She turned to the Shadow for a moment. "And popular word says you are kind of the [I]jefe[/I], the guy in charge- so I'm willing to do what you tell me." Then she turned back to Kitsune. "But I want you to understand where I'm coming from- the better we know each other, the better we can work together, and we don't have a lot of time to figure these things out. The question you answered wasn't the question that I asked. I figured we wouldn't have to HANDLE the evacuations- I wanted to know if people had THOUGHT about them.
