<span style="font-weight:400">Prisma sat there, a surprisingly modest pose considering her current state of dress, the subcore hiding herp and her arms pressed to her chest in shock.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nothing happened just now,” she said.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We all heard what just happened,” ina said. <i><span style="font-weight:400">And I got more info than that.</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, right, I’m asleep,” Prisma continued. “I don’t know why I didn’t realize earlier. ina gets undressed a lot, but she only ever getspletely naked in my dreams.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Tira let out half augh before Flora’s hand pped her mouth shut.
<span style="font-weight:400">“ina,” Temmie said, “those bindings had me unable to process from this unit, but I have now regained ess to this core and am beginning initiation protocols. Excellent work.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“It talked!” Prisma said, throwing this version of Temmie rolling across the floor as she scooted her way to the wall. “I mean, nothing talked! Everything’s fine!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Do <i><span style="font-weight:400">not </i><span style="font-weight:400">throw me again, Miss Fireguard!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh gods,
<span style="font-weight:400">The door cracked once, the shouting from the bouncers outside growing louder as the seal keeping them at bay weakened.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fuck,” Tira said, pushing her way away from Flora, any sign ofughter long gone from her face. “We’re gonna have to plow through them to get out, <i><span style="font-weight:400">really </i><span style="font-weight:400">plow through them, aren’t we?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No!” Flora shouted, backing away to the far wall herself. “Not again…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Carly stepped into the middle of the room, pointing just past Flora. “I think there’s another way. That wall, I feel people on the other side, drunk people. I think it’s another bar, and if the walls are just wood and not stone, then—”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll take care of it either way.” Flora pushed herself back and readied her leg to strike, her heel turning the color of stone, shaping itself to be more like an axe than her foot. “Ready?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wait,” ina said as she picked up the subcore, tossing it to Carly. “Put that in your bag.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“The nerve of you people tonight!” Temmie said as Carly plucked her from the air. “I regret preparing this for you at all, and while I am still regaining my full functionality too!”
<span style="font-weight:400">It had been dyed, so much so that ina had forgotten it was even going to happen, but as Prisma was just standing up crystal dust began to swarm around her, causing her to scream once more. <i><span style="font-weight:400">Oh! I can do that too, </i><span style="font-weight:400">ina realized.
<span style="font-weight:400">ina focused on her own ss gear just enough to start materializing it, but she was really focused on Prisma. As the dust settled around the girl, falling slowly over her, it revealed a suit that at first nce seemed not too unlike the Endrin uniform. It was simrly cut to Prisma’s body, but colored a deep ck with red highlights, with long ck pants instead of a skirt. It also differed in a few other ways, namely the cape falling from her shoulders, ck on the out and red on the inside. Most differently of all though was probably the fact that there wasn’t an undershirt where ina would have expected one, just bare cleavage right below the ornate bow. Capping it all off was her hair, pushed back away from her face and held by a gold tiara, the color of which matched the borate rapier hilt hanging at her waist.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m not naked?” Even with the look of bewilderment she sported, she still somehow looked regal in this moment, more like nobility than anyone or anything ina had ever seen.
<span style="font-weight:400">ina was brought back into the real world with another crack, this time one of the door’s boards flying through.
<span style="font-weight:400">“They’re there, all five!” a voice shouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Flora!” ina called out.
<span style="font-weight:400">“On it!” There was a third crack as Flora whipped her foot around, mming into the wall and blowing chunks of wood and splinter through to the other side. Gasps and screams came through the hole she made, but before she could wind up for another blow, the door behind them gave inpletely, and Shein’s minions started flooding through.
