[Beachside]

Uh-oh! Looks like drama is a-brewing at this mirthful party of fun and frivolity! For here draws near one of The Alexandrian's characters, and most of them officially have major, major, unmistakable issues!

Especially this one!

Clarissa materializes out of a roiling and twisting black vortex that leaves the area it occupied feeling oddly empty after it destabilizes, folds in on itself, and collapses back into the nothingness from whence it came. I'd speculate that she's not here to have fun and frolic in the sun on the sandy beach near the bloodbath we saw fit to name the ocean for some reason or other from her dress.

She's wearing a pitch black uniform hugging all of her curves. The pants appear to be made out of a glossy, coal-black latex-like substance. It isn’t real latex, though. Those things rip and tear so easily! Not good armor for any situation at all, they are. The shine is fashionable only. No telling what the stuff actually does without prodding it first, though. Coupled with the black leather belt with the fist-sized buffered gold skull-shaped buckle, it looks really, really nice on her. Or maybe she looks really, really, really nice in it. Hard to say with reasonable certainty. Those high-walled spit-shined military black boots go well with it too. As a top, she wears a polyester midnight-black military dress coat with a black v-cut t-shirt underneath it. Of course, the top button is unfastened to provide some level of hypnotic advantage and initial distraction to some specific enemy-types. Purely for tactics, you know. Sacrifices for an art. Or maybe art for a sacrifice. You never can truly gauge that with the finicky Clarissa. And is that a…SS cap she’s sporting? No. The insignia is all wrong. It is the same stylistically but the insignia is a flat red metal handprint. This insignia is located both in the center of the front of the cap just above the brim and atop the spot where her heart would be were Clarissa human. The black leather gloves are an elegant touch too.

Yeah. She's not going to be able to blend in with the crowd here. Not like she intended to in the first place.

Heck, she didn't even expect for Dave to have retreated to a remotely populated area!

"Umm..."

This catches her completely off guard!

Oooo! Dave just had to steal her gimmick and force her to chase after him!

At least she can surmise that he can't be too distant from her present location.

Hmm...

She's so gonna need a scouter.

So Clarissa yanks one out of her pocket. It dangles between her fingers before she mounts it upon her head.

"Oh, he'd better be somewhere around here at this party."

"Hello everyone! I'm just an average, everyday partygoer. Pay me no heed! None at all!"

Cue nervous and entirely false laughter!

"Heh, heh, heh?"
