[ With the Ringmaster cutting off the kidnappee’s radios, it seems as good a time as any to use them again -- particularly since some particularly concerning developments have come to light. ]
As you’ve probably heard, some of our people got kidnapped at CY-Ren’s concert. [ If Lambert sounds incredibly reluctant to talk about this, it’s because he is. ] She’s also apparently managed to turn some -- maybe all of them -- into Harbingers like her.
[ Rita, on the other hand, shows no hesitation as she barrels ahead into an explanation. ]
For those not aware, Guardians and Harbingers both draw power from something called a 'Spark'... a physical manifestation of one's greatest passion or desire. For Harbingers, that passion has been inverted and twisted to serve the purpose of the Void... to destroy all living things. In other words, they've been brainwashed, and with their Sparks awakened, they're also incredibly powerful.
And now they’re using those powers to… [ Lambert pauses again. This is the part that sounds really stupid to him: ] … cause trouble around the city. Funny thing is, can’t say we’ve seen CY-Ren around at all. Can’t be a coincidence.
...Right. I don't know what their goal is, but maybe they can tell us, if we manage to recapture them. There has to be a way to get them back to normal, too.
As they are now, they're too strong to take down with normal means, but we have one new tool at our disposal. Through some sort of awakening, some among us are now able to manifest our own Sparks and fight back using the power of Creation. This should give us the edge we need to beat the Harbingers... and CY-Ren.
[ ‘Some sort’ of awakening is one way to put it. To wrap it up before this goes on too long, Lambert finishes: ]
But first we need to know how many of us there actually are. So speak up. That goes for anyone who’s run into the Harbingers too -- if we can figure out their movements or catch one of them, maybe we can figure out what this next ‘concert’ of hers is going to do this time.

[The cat paw pulls back into the book, disappearing. The page returns to normal.]
I suppose that technique could have its uses... even if it looks kind of lame. [That's about as close as she'll get to complimenting the goo-splatter technique. Maybe he'll show her something more interesting if she ups the ante with a stronger attack spell...] Ready for more?

[Whine whine, it's all ridiculous. He's not ashamed of being silly, but she won't let him own it. He takes a few steps back and waves his wand in emphasis.] Throw whatever you want at me, I can take it!
no subject
Whatever I want, huh? [Rita can't help but smirk at that. She looks almost gleeful as she holds out a hand and silently commands her book to seek out a new page.] I hope you know what that means.
Arise! Entwining Inferno!
[Again, the book tilts to face Yuya, but this time, three streams of fire burst forth from the open pages, twisting around in a braid-like pattern as they shoot toward Yuya.]
no subject
Since this is a test of his Guardian abilities, Yuya holds back the urge to use his shield. Instead he holds the wand firmly and waves it slower, producing a very larger bubble.
That just about bursts on impact, not strong enough to hold back the barreling fire past the initial burst. He tumbles backwards to dodge the flames as they, presumably, explode in his face.]
no subject
Hey dummy, is that what you're going to do when an enemy attacks you like that?
no subject
[Maybe he should have accepted Gon's help as a familiar... if only to have someone else's brain besides his own.]
