There was no Ruffnut around. There was no prinnies, as if they had understood that the girl wearing black and purple was not one to be trifled with. All this served to do nothing but infuriate Mindy Macready more, now donned in the disguise of her alter ego Hit Girl.

Lost Lash. Pissed off her mentor. Her roomie was a nut case and, worse still, she actually preferred that to being alone?! Since when had she become so dependent on that kind of feeling? She had always been a lone wolf, at least after her daddy had bit it. She had understood on the ship she was a tool, and a tool was at its best when it was sharp and willing to inflict pain. That was why she hadn't needed anyone, maybe just the occasional person to bounce off of and maybe some food and a place to squat. Then, of course, she meets the Overlord and Lash and Ruffnut, and they were this team of four crazy people all gathered together. They were all nuts and violent in their own way, and in some twisted turn of events, she'd found the closest thing to a family she had.

So why now, of all times, did she have to care that she felt something slipping away? That losing one of them shouldn't have mattered as much. Lash had not been HER girlfriend, it was Zetta's thing to get over. But here she was, in the gym complex, staff in hand. She had used an area with the least amount of mud and had started working it down until she had a nice spot of dry dirt with several dummies set up, each resembling a prinny and one resembling a certain someone.

Hit Girl went to work on them, setting one dummy on fire, and simply cutting two of the prinnies in twain. The lone dummy wit a most haughty expression she turned her spear on, quickly jabbing and blocking as if the dummy were putting up a fight, delivering fierce blows.

I can imagine. That was the word for what happened when I interrupted his date. After "painful."

[rose_liberated]

Hmmm. Adell was finding it fun however. At least, that's what he claimed. But I had to set his nose after he zigged when he should have zagged so he may have just been blabbering.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Set his nose? Did you cause that or did Zetta?

[rose_liberated]

Zetta beam to the face I'm afraid. Though he did once have to have three bullets removed after he got a bit too fresh with me.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Eep. That sounds brutal.

Really? Figured he would know better than that.

[rose_liberated]

Not at full strength-someone was stuck as a book at the time, if you get my meaning, but it was still not the kind of thing you should be maniacally grinning after tanking.

Well, he knows now, and his little siblings know to keep their mouths shut and not joke about such things.

[Tsun harder, maybe people won't notice]

[hit_girl_mindy]

I totally do. I think I miss those days.

Wait...were you actually into this guy?

[rose_liberated]

He's not any less annoying with a body, I can vouch for that.

...Not at all! In no way shape or form!

[hit_girl_mindy]

Trust me, I know.

Heh, are you suure?

[rose_liberated]

Absolutely Certain! The very idea!

Heh, that icon..

[hit_girl_mindy]

Is that what is brothers teased you about?

[rose_liberated]

The sister was worse than the brother, believe me.

[hit_girl_mindy]

A matchmaker type?

[rose_liberated]

Absolutely shameless. Where an eight year old girl gets such ideas, I do not wish to know.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Oh, they'll always try to get you at an early age to be some kind of domesticated girl. You wouldn't believe some of the garbage girl's my age say now that daddy gives them a fucking cell phone.

[rose_liberated]

...But you are nearly my age. Not less than half.

[Surprisingly young demons?]

[hit_girl_mindy]

How old are you again?

[rose_liberated]

Nineteen, though I seized both my majority and the title of Overlord a bit over two years ago.

[hit_girl_mindy]

At sixteen. Christ. I have a lot to catch up on.

[rose_liberated]

Seventeen, if it is any comfort. And don't feel too bad-Overlord Pram somehow usurped her father at age two. Nobody besides the two of them is clear on the details. She developed extremely quickly from what I hear though.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Pram...that name sounds familiar to me. But if that's the case, I'm really going to have to find other ways to get better in this place.

[rose_liberated]

...You cannot seriously judge yourself against the outer realm of the bell curve. Most demons are scantly more powerful than humans, and of those who are, few are anywhere near the level of an Overlord. And in my case, well, I'm a freak. Incarnate Overlord is my title for a reason.

[hit_girl_mindy]

That's pretty awesome, but I still expect myself to kick ass more than this, you know?

[rose_liberated]

I'm not bragging, I'm giving you a warning. Don't measure yourself against the greatest there have ever been, lest you drive yourself mad or get yourself killed trying to do the things they did. Adell is truly exceptional but even he gets in over his head. Know your limits, and acknowledge them.

Or if you would prefer...we could see just how much 'ass you can kick' hmm?

[hit_girl_mindy]

You make a good point. I'm just going by how I learned: started training when dad forced me to get shot every day, jump big distances, know hoe to move quickly and take out the enemy with lethal force. When he was gone, learned on the ship that I could push past those limits and that my potential could be greater than what I know.

...

You know, saying that warning and following it up with saying that is pretty much counterproductive.
