[Katherine is in full kit, cleaning her weapons when the feed turns on. Her pokemon are conspicuously absent from the shot.]

I need to work up a sweat and kick the darkness where it hurts.

Anyone want to join me in a run on one of their areas?

Ozuma, you got a preference on where I should go hunting?

I'll need to check with Lily, but we'd both expressed before that we wanted to help, so I have a feeling we're in. It'll be- well, just like home, in a way.

[There's a certain unease in her tone, but the fire in her eyes burns brightly.]

Do we need to bring anything? Aside from us and our... armaments? [She hasn't introduced Raquel, and now is probably not a good time for it.]

[Lily's face pops up a short time later.] Well, there's not much question about whether or not I'd be in for this, is there?

At the very least, this is a good opportunity to test something I was wondering.

[peacefulwinter]

[She shrugs; it really wasn't a question, no.] It's still the polite thing to do. Do I want to know what you're testing, or should I wait patiently for you to show me?

I asked this to Colin before, but results are inconclusive. Basically...

What do our powers do to the things we're fighting?

Bring supplies for a long day. We may need to refresh while the fighting's going on. Bottled water, energy bars, that sort of thing. Anything you can wolf down in a hurry.

Also, dress warm. If you think it's cold in here right now, remember that this is the civilized part of the castle...

[peacefulwinter]

I don't have to pack much else, so that'll be fine. It'll be like a picnic. Except we're expecting to get into a fight instead of just sit under a tree and relax, but that's fine, too.

Cold and I are good friends. I'll be fine, but I'll make sure Lily's ready. She will likely not be fine without help.

I'll take your word for it, but I don't want to see anyone taking this lightly. The shadows have been getting more dangerous of late.

[peacefulwinter]

Ah, that's not quite what I meant. My alternate form is aligned with ice, so I'm not particularly sensitive to the cold anymore in this one. Sure, I'll freeze if you dump me into the Arctic ocean like anyone else, but it takes more for me to have a problem with it.

[You'll have to forgive Katherine. When you say "Magical Girl" to her, she just thinks another one of Ikora's femme fatales.]

I'm not just thinking the cold, but each thing fewer you need to worry about is good for all of us.

I'm also fairly attuned to violence by now. Even like this, I can get thrown into - or maybe through - a wall and be more or less okay, though not more than once in succession. As Diamond, no, I'm plenty tough enough. I don't anticipate anyone will need to worry about me more than any other trained soldier or similar. So long as what we're fighting is tangible enough to hit, I'll be okay.
