NPF Avatars: The Champion of Order

"D'oh," Mauve said to herself, recovering from her initial shock at being killed, brought back to life, and transported back to the NPF. "I didn't get to do anything godmoddy. I guess I shoulda actually tried to DO something during that last battle. And now it's too late. Unless Raiden decides to pull a 'I'm A God And You Totally Didn't Hurt Me' move."

"Oh well." She held one fist above her head and stood on one foot in an traditional Anime Girl Victory Pose. "Next game, I'm gonna blow something up! I solemnly swear it upon the graves of my ancestors!" She lowered her hand and looked down at the ground. "I wonder where my ancestors are buried."

She stood silently for a long moment, reflecting on past events. The unmasking of Otaku Son. Raiden's transformation. Raiden's apparent defeat. The bag of gummi bears that was hopefully still on her dresser. So many things to think about.

Suddenly, she realized that she wasn't alone. Dark Twiddy had sidled up to her while she had been wondering if gummi bears could go stale after extended periods of time, and whether they'd still be yummy if they did. Mauve crossed her arms and her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

Oh great. And now Captain Egomaniac decides to come over and point out my many flaws. Yeah. This is JUST what I need. Mauve considered going for her knives before the Dark One had a chance to react, but then she remembered that her first knife had been crushed in Raiden's fist and the second one was lying on the floor in the throne room somewhere. Poo. Of course I have to get the guy with the high magic defense. Oh well, I'll just have to improvise.

Mauve was just trying to remember if she still had a piano wire in her pocket of near-infinite holding when Dark Twiddy decided to speak.

“Hey Mauve…" Here it goes. My moment of pseudo-tranquility will abruptly end in flames and blood. "...would you like to go to the Archmage Dance with me?”

Mauve automatically opened her mouth to say "Yeah? Well I didn't see YOU do much during that battle either, Sir Faints-A-Lot!!" but luckily she caught herself. She stared blankly at him for a moment.

No snide remarks? No infuriating little comments about her powers? What was wrong with him now??

"Who are you and what have you done with Dark Twiddy?" Mauve asked.
