NPF Avatars: A story of Seals, Tears, and Betrayal

[Arhra]

Shrinking down to less than half of her original size and also making the discovery that clothes didn't change size and, in fact, seemed to fall off rather easily, it could be easily said Arhra's current state of mind was fluctuating somewhere between horror and rage.

Then Newb had made his escape and unintentionally caused her to grow once again. Joy joined the emotional throng, followed a few seconds later by despair when Arhra realised she was still slightly shorter than she had been initially. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. She didn't make any move as Newb started to pull the blanket that was her only covering off her, a sure sign something was terribly wrong. Arhra just stood there, mouth slightly open and her red eyes had a manic, unfocused look to them.

It seemed they'd broken Arhra.

Yuri was confused. She'd felt a sudden cocktail of volently conflicting emotions pour through her link, showing Arhra was evidently suffering from some duress. She didn't know what to make of them. Being drunk didn't help.

Using the power of drunken logic, she thought of how the use of Arhra's draining power had seemed to make Arhra happier and so Yuri scanned the horizon blearily, looking for enemies. Her gaze went right past the moderator boss guy and then snapped back. He might be some sort of enemy, and that was all the motivation she needed. Taking a swig from her bottle of hooch, she charged drunkely at him, using one of the most feared hobo based magical girl styled attacks known to man. Admittedly, there weren't really that many. Yuri covered the distance in that deceptively fast drunken stumble and yelled out the name of her attack.

"BUM RUSH!"
