Damn it, Yuuka! Again
Entropy Judge
Recurring Bouts of Misanthropy
[X] She's not supposed to be out here, and she's been very provocative. Have her removed from the mansion.
"Yu- Yuuka -" The magician, paling and clutching her staff tightly, starts to say something, but breaks off and jerks her head toward you as you start speaking.
"Yuuka Kazami. You have trespassed beyond the areas where guests are allowed, of your own volition and intentionally. You have been provocative, hostile, and openly threatening toward guests. You are no longer welcome here. You will leave now." She blinks, unmoving. "Sakuya. This youkai has violated our hospitality. Escort her to the gate and see that she leaves." Sakuya bows.
"Yes, Lady Flandre."
"No." Your eyes narrow at Yuuka's refusal, Sakuya inhales sharply, and Mima trembles and works her mouth violently. "You aren't the head of this place. That's your sister, and the only person who can kick me out is her. So if you want me gone, then -" An emanation of power cuts her off, and a glowing circle inscribes itself in the ground around you. It takes less than a second, and then you're standing in the front lawn with your friends and servants, and Yuuka - both of them - and Mima. The Yuukas glance at each other, then one slides into the one who'd been talking to you. Remilia looks back and forth between you and Yuuka, surprised by your appearance, and walks toward you, leaving Nanoha and the others behind. Your clones notice that images of the scene are being displayed in all guest-accessible areas. The youkai couldn't have desired this - she was probably expecting a private discussion, or perhaps that you would back down instead of pushing through and forcing her to leave. She definitely wasn't expecting Patchouli's intervention … you aren't sure what you feel about the magician spying on you, but for this, you're at least somewhat grateful.
"… What, precisely, is going on?" Your sister's voice is quiet, but very obviously annoyed.
"She tried telling me to leave," Yuuka says, gesturing at you with an elbow - and Remilia's eyes widen before her head tilts ever so slightly to the side and she fixes her stare on Yuuka.
"So what are you still doing here, youkai?" Yuuka blinks, surprised at Remilia's response, and your clones notice the movement of several youkai toward the judging area. Aya, of course, although she looks more like she's doing it out of obligation rather than her own desire. Yukari, too, and Yuyuko, and Yukari looks furious about something. Remilia's simulacrum moves closer, following her sword-bearing companion. A green-haired youkai wearing some kind of uniform dress - a blue base with balanced red and white accessories. Yuugi, too, walks toward the area, frowning at Yuuka. "Flandre is my sister, youkai, not a subordinate or a guest - her authority here is precisely and entirely equal to my own. If she tells you to leave, you will leave." Yuuka scoffs.
"Now who's the youkai not acting properly, hm? Youkai are supposed to attack humans - that's what I was told by that babbler from Hell. Now you're protecting them! Trying to drive me away because I want to do what I'm supposed to do, what you're failing to do! So what if they die? So what if you die?" She lunges forward, parasol thrust forward at your sister. Nanoha and Fate, both still in the line of fire, stand as if ready to act, while Vita pushes in front of them, transformed and holding Graf Eisen protectively. "Well? What are you going to do? Be real youkai? Or be a fake like your sister?" Mima scrambles back, apparently desperate to disassociate herself from Yuuka, and the only thing keeping Yukari from advancing is - the simulacrum, who points to the militant youkai and pushes her in that direction. More important is the reaction of the rest of the youkai - the atmosphere chills noticeably, and you don't think anyone is supporting Yuuka.
It's not her position - no doubt there are youkai who wouldn't mind your sister's death, or who think that youkai should be terrorizing humans more frequently. But to openly threaten guests at a party? And the host? Remilia simply sighs and waves her hand to her side - toward the gate. "I will let you keep the dignity of removing yourself." Yuuka remains motionless for a moment, then straightens up and swings her parasol to a useable position, opening it mid-motion. Then she strides toward the gate, unhurried and seemingly unworried. You glance at Mima, who looks around fretfully, then bows to you and then Remilia before hurrying after Yuuka. Remilia watches them leave, then quickly walks up to you, plainly worried. "Are you alright?" You nod slowly.
"I'm … fine. Angry. She -!" Before you can launch into a tirade, your sister hugs you, wraps her wings around you, squeezes you tight. You hug her back, holding the embrace for nearly a minute before slowly releasing her. You smile tightly, then shake your head. Yukari is discussing something animatedly with the other youkai, but Yuyuko is frowning in the direction of the gate. "… She threatened Lulu and Ilya," you say quietly, just before Agito and Megane run past you to fuss over Lulu. Ilya sidles sideways to give them space, only to be ambushed by Illyasviel and Deis, who pull her aside. Only Satsuki and Sakuya are near you now, and Sakuya gently nudges your servant away, leaving you and your sister some semblance of privacy. Remilia's face plays out several expressions - irritation, tiredness, frustration, worry - before settling on weary resignation.
"I'll make arrangements so that she doesn't interfere with your trips, and I'll add some provisions for her coming here. Apart from that … she's proud, Flandre, prouder than you and me. She won't apologize, and I doubt she'll forgive this embarrassment. She probably won't try anything anytime soon, not unless it's subtle - she's not stupid, no matter how unstable she is - but in the future, if you leave the mansion, be careful, please." You nod and Remilia relaxes, smiling worriedly at you. "Thank you, my dear, wonderful sister." You smile back, but it falters when your clones relay the guests' mood to you.
"Did … did I ruin the party?" Remilia blinks, then smiles warmly and shakes her head.
"No, no, Flandre dear. Things will be winding down for the next couple hours - even if Yuuka hadn't caused a scene, most of the important people would have been gone in an hour or so, leaving people who are trying to feel important, people who just want to have some good food, and people who are taking advantage of the mansion's neutrality to discuss business or important affairs." She frowns, and you slump; that neutrality is going to come under suspicion, now that Remilia is making moves and you're getting into fights with Yuuka … especially with her parting accusations. Before your mood can spiral any further, however, Remilia places her index fingers against your cheeks and pulls your head up, then leans forward to kiss you quickly on the nose. And she doesn't let go, holding your head still with a mischievous smile on her face - at least until you finally stick your tongue out and smile back. "There, that's my wonderful sister. Mm … just a quick warning - if you want to take your friends to the kitchen to relax, Mami Tomoe and Kyouko Sakura are working in there." You nod. And the library isn't off-limits, but Patchouli's guests are there and probably irritated … Ilya might appreciate the new statue, though.
