Oh... Neo's head started to spin... she was about to lose both the control of her semblance and her balance for a moment!

" I think we did well, wouldn't you say? " Smiling! A little smugly. Because she knows she won.

Even for Cinder, that sounded excessive, she wouldn't step to those extremes to try and convince someone… would she? She couldn't be sure, not entirely. But she isn't about to let her go so soon either! Using Hush's curved handle to pull on Cinder's arm to keep her there. ++

turning hesitantly, about ready to give up. " ....I don't know what I'm doing anymore- I'm practically a literal demon... but for what? " Another moment of silence befalls them. " I'll just leave with...I was wrong to use and hurt you. A-again... I'm so sorry. " She'll go to make her exit now.

Grabbing it and using it on Hush!

Ultimate Iron Spider 🏳️‍🌈 (parody)@webwarrior.bsky.social · 2h ago

"I developed a dissolving agent. Here. I'm sorry it went down like that."

She can't... Neo quickly just finished filling her bag and started to make her way out of the store. Can't keep that semblance up for much longer!

Blinking her eyes cutely. She can't stay mad, though!

Evil gremlin smile?

Winking... Older sister secret!

.. How'd she do that?

. . . . . . Croaks too?

𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤!@thegrimmgirl.bsky.social · 1h ago

...... Croaks.

Imitating, don't question it… she can.

Neo looked a bit annoyed at the fox!

ᴄᴜʀɪᴏꜱɪᴛʏ ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ..@cheshirefoxx.bsky.social · 3h ago

Well, looks like we have a winner then!

The girl just rolled her eyes, clearly not believing a thing. Cinder said sorry the first time Neo got mad at her too and then backstabbed her after! It had been a while since she saw Cinder, she didn't know what had passed in her life, ++

ℂ𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣 𝔽𝕒𝕝𝕝@fallenflame.bsky.social · 3h ago

It takes her a moment, eye tracing back up to meet the angered gaze that was piercing down upon her. " You have every reason to hate me. I won't talk you out of that.. " She let out a whine. " I know it doesn't make up for everything and you probably want to kill me... But I'm...I'm sorry. "

Maybe… she should be honest. If anything, it was a good moment to check if that huntress really would be the accepting or forgiving type or not. 📱 "Me and a couple of others, with an army of Grimm, destroyed the Academy."

Summer Rose@sunderedrose.bsky.social · 3h ago

Summer's eyes widened, she was somewhat in shock hearing that. Something like that... something like that doesn't just happen... "What... What happened..."

She still looks grossed out! It wasn't coming off from Hush!

Ultimate Iron Spider 🏳️‍🌈 (parody)@webwarrior.bsky.social · 3h ago

"Look, it's better than it was."

Still enough to give her a good edge over Neo's speed... She also was quite slow, focusing on keeping her semblance in place!

ᴄᴜʀɪᴏꜱɪᴛʏ ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ..@cheshirefoxx.bsky.social · 3h ago

Ahri didn't spam it like she did before, at least. She used it only once or twice!

Trying to shake Hush clean?!?! . . . . 💢 Also... Organic? She made a grossed out face!

Ultimate Iron Spider 🏳️‍🌈 (parody)@webwarrior.bsky.social · 14h ago

"Don't worry! It dissolves in, way, two hours. It's all organic as well. Literally. Right from my wrist." They go off, stronger than before and covering Hush.

There was NO way Neo would be able to compete with Ahri using her semblance! But she still tried... Ahri would fill her bag a LOT sooner than Neo, though...

ᴄᴜʀɪᴏꜱɪᴛʏ ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ..@cheshirefoxx.bsky.social · 15h ago

Ahri was using her semblance to take as much as she could get her hands on!

Neo slowly nodded her head, that did kind of sound like her... The second Neo wasn't useful for her, she was thrown at the Ever After! 💧 Actually, Neo could still be useful! It was just petty revenge... She walked next to Mercury and tapped his back.

𝙈𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙮 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠@sterlingstriker.bsky.social · 15h ago

Mercury was sorta good at picking up on the signs she had, of course he'd have to take time to realize it. "Oh, well after that Beacon incident one of my legs went out and I couldn't make it out. Left me for dead! Almost felt offended. Either way, she left and I had to strike it out on my own."

That HAD to be an act... It wouldn't be the first time Cinder tricked her by pretending to feel bad... The girl kept her arms crossed and raised an eyebrow... She was going to wait for the other to continue.

ℂ𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣 𝔽𝕒𝕝𝕝@fallenflame.bsky.social · 18h ago

To everyone who knows her, she's a power crazed lone wolf. Yet here she is, completely disarmed and paralyzed by the idea of confronting Neo. For once she probably seems like less of a monster than usual. " . . .I - " What to say? She rubs her arm, then looks at the ground glumly.

Cinder Fall hesitating? Neo stayed still for a moment, was it seconds? Maybe even a minute? Like a predator waiting for the right moment to strike its pray. Then she crossed her arms, still looking very angry, but part of the hostility seemed to have died down.

ℂ𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣 𝔽𝕒𝕝𝕝@fallenflame.bsky.social · 18h ago

She makes eye contact, then looks off and away while dropping any pretences. " Right. " Suddenly she feels a twinge of unease hit her gut. Anxiety? . . . . . . " Are you. . .sure you want to do this right now? "

The girl didn't forget what Cinder did, how she used Neo... And the look in her eyes made that very clear. Filled with hostility.

Web grenades?!... 💢 Neo opens Hush in front of her to protect her from those...

Ultimate Iron Spider 🏳️‍🌈 (parody)@webwarrior.bsky.social · yesterday

"Geez. I can't help but sense some hostility there." Thwips web grenades at her.

He ditched her? Mercury? Neo looked surprised at him, eyebrow raised. She pointed at him and made an interrogation mark im the air with the finger, of course she was curious to know what happened.

𝙈𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙮 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠@sterlingstriker.bsky.social · yesterday

He wasn't always the most empathetic, a slight head tilt and a half pout at her sad expression. "Well, if it makes ya feel any better ya found the most charming one from Cinder's group." The other jokes around, cracking a very small grin. "Well formerly at least. Ditched her a few months back."

Neo was at work already! Bag in one hand, the other swiping at all the jewelry next. She clearly didn't care about value, just the quantity.

ᴄᴜʀɪᴏꜱɪᴛʏ ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ..@cheshirefoxx.bsky.social · yesterday

They can take one bag each! Could make it a contest to see who gets the most jewelry, even!

From her expression, she clearly didn't took it as a compliment...

Ultimate Iron Spider 🏳️‍🌈 (parody)@webwarrior.bsky.social · 2d ago

Easily dodges. "Hey, I'm giving you a compliment! Sheesh!"

Rolling her eyes over that first comment... Almost reminded her of Cinder. When she heard the second one, her expression did change to a slightly sad one, nodding her head. Roman's old hat ever so present on her head now.

𝙈𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙮 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠@sterlingstriker.bsky.social · 2d ago

"Ever the talkative one I guess." There's a shrug from the other, tucking his hands into his back pockets. Gives her an up down. "See you're rocking a new outfit, sorry to hear about what happened to Roman."

Nodding her head and giving her the thumbs up. Neo will go with Ahri to grab some bags for them to fill.

ᴄᴜʀɪᴏꜱɪᴛʏ ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ..@cheshirefoxx.bsky.social · 2d ago

" Clever girl. Now I don't even need to use my semblance much Should I fetch us a goodie bag? "

Kicking his chin.

Ultimate Iron Spider 🏳️‍🌈 (parody)@webwarrior.bsky.social · 2d ago

"Aww! So smol! Oh, you're adorable!"

Ultimate Iron Spider 🏳️‍🌈 (parody)@webwarrior.bsky.social · 3d ago

@neopolitanillusion.bsky.social "If evil, why cute?"

. . . . Yeah, Beacon was gone... partially because of Neo... 📱 "Beacon is no more."

Summer Rose@sunderedrose.bsky.social · 3d ago

Summer thought about it for a moment. "She would've been at Beacon as a huntress right? You've seen her far more recently than I have..."
