"Well, look at that. It seems little miss Chalice has her belt already."
Aliah turned toward Nick and slightly frowned. But he wasn't frowning because of the comment but due to the fact that he gripped Dark Kiva's belt; with a soft snoring coming from the Kivat perched on it.
"I was afraid of a situation like this happening. Once 'awakened' Chalice's belt immediately returns to Shanti. Fate will not allow her peace in that regard... or in the..." Aliah trailed off.
"But thankfully it was only the Category King missing. And Ryuga and Den-O helped seal it."
"Ironic really..." He muttered softly; with a touch annoyance growing in voice. "The King was missing in her deck.... and in that battle I was missing."
He began to shake the belt somewhat roughly before finally yelling "WAKE UP ALREADY!!!"
-----------------
As the water hit Chalice's overheated suit, it evaporated. But after several long moments in which K-Jake kept waiting for the steam to stop, finally releasing the water to gush upwards.
Chalice now stood soaked in the rubble-lined streets but couldn't have cared less. She turned toward Den-O with an unseen grin.
"Thanks for that."
Chalice could feel Ryuga's hesitant look. "Oh that remark?..." Chalice shook her head in annoyance... and slight remembrance. "I don't know if the others still exist. As for Mutsuki...."
Flashes of memories long suppressed threatened to break through. Through gritted teeth Chalice stated "I just don't like him is all. He...err... His cards don't like me either. If I would have used just one I probably would be a popsicle right now."
"I don't know if the Kenzaki-tachi still exist. Including Hajime. But yeah. I should be good with controlling Joker now. Seeing as to be Chalice you automatically become the Joker. No choice in that matter sadly."
Pulling a card out of her hold Chalice swiped it.[FONT=Verdana, serif] SPIRIT[/FONT] echoed as her human form appeared. Oddly her clothes and hair were completely dry.
"Well... shall we go back? I bet Aliah is having a fit right now." She chuckled softly at the remark before realizing something. "Uh... we do have a place to go back too right? A base for us?"

(OOC: I've decided on the effects from using the others cards.
Blade:: 0-2: no effect/very minor tingling in limbs; 3-4: stronger tingling, now almost burning/numbing of target limbs; 5+: near immediate electrocution upon energy release, complete loss of consciousness.
Garren:: 0-1: no effect/minor burning in limbs; 2-3: muscles began to burn/suit begins to visibly overheat; 4+: flames begin to consume armor from belt up/down, dangerously overheating, requires immediate cooling.
Leangle:: 0-1: no effect/minor frost visible on armor; 2: frost grows and reduces mobility and attack; 3+: Complete freezing from belt up/down, left unchecked will freeze Chalice solid.
I've based this on both the show (character's relationship with Hajime) and more-so on interactions in the first/second RPG.
I'll reveal what occurred slowly in flashbacks... as Chalice still hasn't come to terms with it.
The belt up/down is for Chalice either Shooting/Punching/Slashing (arms and up) or Kicking (legs and down). Just wanted to make that clearer.)
