"Cinder, I have absolutely no clue how to beat those girls!" Emerald whined, tending to her new wounds.
"Hush and let me think." Cinder replied harshly, the tension in the room reaching an even higher level.
"I mean, their auras are too powerful. We can't disable their semblances in any means possible short of killing them, which is a feat within itself." Emerald mumbled, wrapping a layer of gauze around her right shoulder.
"Well perhaps what we need is to make their power detrimental, instead of taking it away?" Cinder suggested, the question hanging in the air.
"How do you suppose we do that?" Mercury asked, finishing his set of pushups with a sigh.
"Have you two heard of 'Bliss'?" Cinder asked, an evil smile blooming on her face.
"The failed semblance-boosting agent? Wasn't it taken off of the shelves because of its potency?" Mercury replied, his face growing a smile wider than Cinder's.
"So we drug them? Great plan, Mercury." Emerald groaned, tapping in the password for her scroll. "What are we supposed to do? Stab Pyrrha freaking Nikos in the neck with a needle?"
"Not quite, Bliss is water-soluble." Cinder mused, closing her own scroll and Emerald's in quick succession. "Emerald, buy about a hundred water bottles. For safe keeping."
"But I don't have the-" Emerald started before 200 lien were shoved into her hand. "Nevermind then."
