Well-done, rare, it matters not!

[But she will nod in thanks while wiping the blood from her face with a sleeve. And then, she will move on toward some of those already burning to death--ones who can't put up much fight.]

[hoodwinking]

Heh heh, hope you don't get filled up!

[If she could. No, B.B. wasn't sure if Conchita had a bottomless stomach or not, but the Navy would sure find out soon enough.]

[justgetseconds]

Impossible!

[...She says between bloody mouthfuls. She doesn't even wait until they're fully dead, either.]

/jumps in SCARY GIRLS WEAR RED! :D

[Still keeping on her mask, Grell swings around her DEATHSCYTHE and cuts off many heads in her wake. If one follows the trail of headless bodies laid nicely on the floor, it'll lead to her. She spots Banica and gives her a cheerful wave!

HEY, GIRL, HEY!]

They do. Such a lovely color.

[justgetseconds]

You seem to be enjoying yourself!

[Oh, what a lovely trail of meals, Grell, hope you don't mind as she picks across them toward you.]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell nods, leaning down to pick up a severed head and tossing it to her.]

I could say the same of you.~! [A few officers come her way, but Grell ducks a sword and throws a body at them, making them fall.]

How long has it been since you've called your little friends?

[justgetseconds]

[Conchita takes a bite out of the head after catching it, then her grin widens when Grell suggests that.]

There are certainly plenty of bodies around!

[Head still in hand, she reaches to once more withdraw the glass from her cleavage.]

Should I~?

[redcinemareel]

Fates YES. [She answers, her breathe filled with anticipation. They have both been pretty patient all this time, so it's only natural to let loose!]

[justgetseconds]

It would, after all, be a shame for them to miss their own ball!

[She raises the glass to her lips, kissing the rim of it momentarily. But then she'll raise it high, turning it. Red liquid, absent before, spills out, rippling outward as pure power from where it hits. The corpses creak and groan, shifting and getting to their feet. Certainly not good for much besides cannon fodder and a distraction.

She doesn't extend her power very far, she doesn't need much, and she can always animate more of the corpses. For now, though, there's about a good two dozen shambling around.]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell cackles at the once lifeless bodies move again, watching the reaction of those in the crowd looking on in horror. A few officers open fire on one corpse, but it doesn't seem to stop moving at all. Those poor fools.]

Marvelous.

[justgetseconds]

A truly beautiful sight. It feels good to unleash it all once more!

[Conchita will even twirl a bit, letting the glass turn upside down and dangle in her hand. It won't break--it's magic. But it's time she get back to her feast, so she'll tuck it safely back where it was.]

I've never had more fun!
