You dash over to the door, glancing off a few seats in your haste to get to the entry door. Prying quickly swinging it open, you immediately have to catch a stumbling Tamako, who seemed to be pressed up against the thick piece of wood.

"Finally! Now let me through, child!" Zul says, trying to push past. Instead you grab the alien and force your daughter's hand into hers. You say to take her far away, and that it's dangerous here right now. You then turn to the mechanical dog and tell her she is needed inside immediately.

Before either Tamako and Zul can protest Hilde darts in and you slam the door closed. Turning back around, you see the the Princess on the balcony has changed drastically. The royal looks more spider-like than you imagined she'd be, with long, segmenting legs placed around an upright cylinder. Atop this is the thing is a head with a big central eye. Honestly, the only way you can even tell it's still the princess is that it's wearing her clothes. You both charge up to the stage to stand with Kamiko, and Hilde starts laughing.

"Whoa-ho-ho! Who do we have here?" Hilde says, folding unpacking herself from her dog form until she's back up to her normal size. "We going loud? We should have just done that from the start you know."

"Leave, robot, unless you want to join these two in the afterlife."

"Are you kidding? Big Girl here told me there wouldn't be any action. No way I'm missing this!" Hilde replies.

"You all know each other, huh?" The princess says. "I'm guessing this wasn't a pleasure trip."

"I mean, it wasn't for me.." Hilde says to the other creature. "So what's the deal? Big Girl causing problems? I know she's weird but she's harmless.

"Load up a #1" You hear Kamiko say just below a whisper. You assume this is to Hilde, because you have no idea what that means.

"It's not so much what she's done, but what she is." The princes says with a smirk.

"Look, I know she ain't a robot but she's alright."

"Not quite what I meant." The Princess says with a titter.
