The black bony plates took the place of her normal pale skin, her whole form transforming completely until she took on the shape of an alien creature, its segmented tail lashing behind it and a wide and chitinous plate flaring outwards from the back of the head. It hissed in a loud snarling sound, lips quivering as it looked around with apparent alarm.

Everyone else who was there fled as quickly as they could while she brought her clawed hands down, turning to regard Minako. Eyes narrowed and it let out a high-pitched sound. At the moment? She seemed to recognize her, which was probably a good thing. Still, nothing about her showed that she was able to communicate back with her lover. She was just staring at her in that strange, unnatural way.

And then, she lunged. Her body carried forward, one clawed arm reaching outwards, attempting to catch Minako in the midriff and grab hold of her.

So it didn't seem like she could get through with words alone anyway, but as she was about to ponder over a few things like how to fully deal with the situation she saw the hands going towards her. With a quick movement she moved to jump back. She didn't know what she was trying to do, but she knew to try and not get caught if she can help it.

"Vira, please stop and listen. I don't want to hurt you."

Vira-Lorr crashed just past Minako, having barely missed. She was still trying to get the hang of the 'new' form. It was unnatural and its loping, sloped shape had a center of gravity she wasn't used to. However, as she rose it was getting obvious that she was coming more and more to understand it, her motions getting more fluid by the second.

Turning her head towards her, those three alien eyes stared at Minako beadily, the snarl going again. A scream in the distance of someone that saw her caused her head to whip in there direction. her tail lashed in an animated, angry, nervous way not unlike a cat's reaction to the unexpected. She stared in that person's direction and looked about to charge them before looking back at Minako. for just a moment, she seemed almost trapped, trying to decide between attacking and getting Minako away.

So, instead she settled on roaring, arms held wide. The hissing sound she let out definitely had the native running for the hills.

As much as Minako was use to having to deal with and fight, this was simply something that she was struggling with. Mostly due to the fact that it was someone knew she and cared about so it made the situation a lot more complicated.

But with the roaring Minako covered by her ears. It was certainly something, but she wanted to at least make sure that no one got hurt. So when she could see someone she looked over.

"Please keep away, okay? I have it handled." Which was honestly a lie but at least a couple people headed off before she turned her focus back on her partner.

"Lets go someone where there is less people. Maybe I can help you... I don't know how, but I can try."

Minako saying that caused a stop in the behavior of the creature. She looked like she'd been about to start lunging forward, but her lover's words cut through and the head whipped back, baleful, inhuman eyes staring at her for a moment. Had she heard her? Had she understood? Those beady orbs gleamed in the low light and it seemed that something was heard at least.

She loped over again, though this time it was a slower motion. One arm went wide, clawed hand reaching for Minako's waist. It was... in so far as this creature was capable of being, a gentle motion. Cautious.

Things seemed to be going okay ad that was good at least. Not that she could understand from the other side if this was a good thing or not. Soon she was held by the waist and was assuming that meant she was going to be taken to another place.

SO far so good, but she definitely felt like that woman who was kidnapped by a giant gorilla, minus the huge tower.

She just had no idea where she was going to be taken.

The comparison was apt enough. Vira-Lorr began to charge at a breakneck pace through the streets, making her way back and towards her home as people dove out of the path to keep themselves safe. Her tail lashed in such a way that it nearly struck several, leaving chaos in her wake, though thankfully there were minimal screams of pain.

When she arrived at the home, though, her tail moved with greater precision, wrapping around the knob and pushing the back door open. The familiarity of the setting was juxtaposed by the angry monster trying to push her into the back mud room, its motions insistent and agitated. It had to get her out, away from the possibility of the butterflies finding her.

Minako struggled with trying to escape the grasp. It was pretty tight, so when that failed she figured defeat for now, but maybe, just maybe she might be able to grab her device.

Bit that might take a while and a tiny bit of wriggling as she tried to get it. Though a small part of her was worried about what might happen if she thought she was trying to escape though.

When the door slammed behind her, Vira-Lorr used the tail to lock it behind and snarled around before dropping Minako to her feet. She would have the chance there, on her feet, to grab her device... mostly because the beast seemed to be unaware of exactly what it was, or what impact it might have. Also, she was ... busy.

Vira-Lorr was blocking the way through into the kitchen and leaning forward, just past Minako. Another hiss and gunk splattered up along the seams of the door, hardening and starting to form into a thick, chitinous substance that was doing an effective job of sealing the entryway, making sure that nobody was passing through that passage. It was a good way to make sure she knew the only way out, one way for dangers to approach.

Minako slowly went to grab her device so that now was safely in her hand for just in case, but as she looked around she started to see if she could maybe find a way out but it seemed like the way they came in was out.

She frowned slightly as she went to check before moving to head towards a window to check that instead.

Vira-Lorr, meanwhile, was focused on every form of exit. As soon as she caught sight of Minako looking at the window, she misinterpreted that, worried the bugs could get in that way. More of the strange fluid flew, starting to coat it while she completely ignored the device in her girlfriend's hands. It was starting to harden into a strange, thick, rubbery and chitinous gunk that covered the entries as she worked feverishly, one eye continuing to check to make sure Minako wasn't making a break for it.

At least she seemed only aware of the more obvious physical methods of getting out.

Welp she really felt like she shouldn't make it obvious, but really what else could she do. She had a back up in case she honestly couldn't find a way out and there was only one window left from what she could gather. So best thing to do was to try and make a break for it now.

Running over, Minako moved to fiddle with the window, finally getting it open as she looked back. She felt like she only at best didn't have long...

Clawed hands whipped. When Minako was fiddling with the window they reached and grabbed for her shoulders, aiming to twist the senshi around. That face was right there in front of her, quivering, snarling, growling. Damnit, she was going to keep trying to do this, wasn't she? To break free? Vira-Lorr couldn't have that. No. If she kept trying, she'd get out there, and the butterflies...

She couldn't have that.

Splattering fluid came flying out, aiming to gunk up and latch Minako at the waist to the wall. She kept her face dangerously close to her lover's. The threat wasn't desired, but hopefully it would keep her still so she could get the gunk to harden and keep her trapped there. She just needed her to not try and run away for a while. Then she could think of how to properly protect her.

It went about as much as she figured really and now being unable to move and the other being really close that Minako had to turn her head for a moment. At least she managed to get her device as that was the only option she had left.

In her mind it wasn't about trying to escape for the sake of it and leaving them alone. She wanted to try and get help to deal with the situation in the best way possible. Maybe people she knew since Minako wasn't sure if she alone could egt through since she seemed to be the target.

So with much fiddling of the device she was finally able to get a message across and really... hope that whoever does answer will be able to do something.

There was a moment where the threat was very real, but once she was sealed to the wall properly and not going anywhere, Vira-Lorr stepped back. She looked at her carefully and then nodded, proceeding to focus on the windows, the various entries into the house. She couldn't truly understand Minako's motives right now... But she would understand them far better later, after people got her out of this mental state.

For now, however, she was moving from window to window, ensuring that nothing else could get in. It gave Minako time, time to send the message out, at the very least.

(OOC: Do you want to fast-forward to after she's back to herself or play this out a little more?)

[OOC: We can fast forward to after.]

That had certainly been a situation. Minako how free was dusting herself off for a moment before going over to where her partner was.

"Hey Vira... I would ask if your okay but the answer is pretty obvious."

Vira-Lorr was currently on the couch at this point. Their savior had departed now that she was herself, sitting with an empty mason jar that had been filled with the recuperative lake water in it. She was robed in a simple bathrobe and a little hunkered down.

"I'm... more myself than I was only an hour ago, yes," she murmured, glancing over but not quite able to look at her lover. "I... didn't hurt you, did I?"

Minako was making a mental note that she probably really will need a shower later, or at least to wash herself as she went to go sit down.

"No, at best you made me sticky, but thats about the worse of it."

Oh definitely a shower. They both needed one after this ordeal. But at least that was the worst of it right now. God, she didn't look up to the clear the mess out of hte house.

"Good. I'm glad," she breathed out a sigh of very obvious relief. "I... wasn't ... This isn't what I intended. I didn't know that they had that protection on them."

"I know it's not what you intended, no one really expects that of all things to happen. I mean here we deal with beasts all the time after all."

So no one could have really known. For Minako she just didn't feel like they had been much of a threat and why she didn't deal with them herself. Though what they do isn't great, but they weren't physically attacking either.

"But its something to learn and move past."

She breathed in and out slowly and finally leaned in closer to Minako, allowing herself to sigh, to shudder and to start to unclench and relax very slightly. "I know... I know... and I intend to learn from it. I don't want it to ever happen again. I'm probably going to need to rest for a day or two after this," she said softly. "And I'm going to stay inside most of the time, until they're gone. It's clear now. I can't trust myself in dealing with this problem. Someone else will have to."

"I'm glad I have you, Minako... You can be a steadying influence at times like this." Among so many other things.

Minako stayed quiet for the time being, letting the other speak and say what she wanted all the while a few thoughts going through her head. For one that it is nice to know there are ways of dealing with it without resorting to killing at least. That she was going to keep in mind and the other of what her next steps might be now.

Probably to focus more on what she needed to and put hunting on the backburner right now. Venus wasn't needed currently.

"I am many a thing, Vira~ I can be whatever it is you need me to be."

Venus would always be powerful, and an ally in a pinch, but she wasn't wrong. There was a real power in having friends willing to take risks and seek for ways to calm, to humanize those who were in the midst of their monstrous throws. Minako was, herself, as powerful as Venus in this.

She smiled sadly over at her and reached out a hand to take the back of her lover's, closing her eyes. "Just ... don't forget that you can rely on me too." A pause and a cough before she smiled sadly. "though today? I need to do the relying. I don't want to hold you back or cause you trouble. We can be there for each other." It was important to her own self-image to remind herself that, despite this failing, this moment of weakness, she was still there for those she cared for.

"Of course, I would never forget that." She knew to always rely on her friends for anything, after all she knew they could help her if needs be, although there are certain parts when she might not depending on the situation. She moved her hand to grip the others a small smile on her face.

"Even after this if I need your help, I will let you know."

Vira-Lorr looked positively on the verge of tears when Minako said that. Did she really need that reassurance to know in principle that her lover would still come to her? No. She 'knew it, and deep down there was no need to be sure, but hearing the reassurance now, of all times, it made her rest her head against Minako's shoulder, a short sob breaking out and settling.

"Thank you. I think... I think I really wanted to hear that." Because it was a reminder that any harm today caused, it was in the end a temporary thing. They could and would get past it all.
