Platinum also put aside her abstract philosophy to focus on the new threat which had emerged. She followed Vert as he tried to push his way through the crowd, but the Huntress was honestly a bit confused as to what was happening, having not heard the mayor's earlier foreboding comments due to being lost in her thoughts. Though she was picking up the situation pretty quickly at this moment, given how overtly clear the villagers' intent was, but only when her companion whipped out his pistol and threatened physical violence did she really realize that she had to spring into action.

HWAT, was literally what she was thinking. 'Wait, what?" was what she actually said, but by then Vert had already pressed forward with his big words and a frighteningly serious expression, which made it impossible to think that he was just making an empty bluff, as angry boys were apt to do sometimes.

She whipped her head side to side to quickly evaluate the situation. Kreutznauer was standing off some ways, and Oliver and Tanner were close by, while the disorganized crowd of villagers was rushing to dismantle the trucks or watching the Hunters with a barely concealed apprehension written all over their faces. A plan was rapidly forming in Platinum's head, and she dashed over to the two Huntsmen-in-training first.

She ran up to them quickly and looked both males in the eyes before saying, "Oliver, Tanner, can you guys stop Vert before he starts a rampage? I'm going to try to talk to the villagers."

She then dashed over to Kreutznauer and batted the camera out of his hands and onto the packed-dirt ground. At this point she has no time for formalities.

"Professor, don't make me call you a hypocrite! See if you can - actually, you're supposed to be the leader here, do something useful!" She wasn't comfortable with giving her superior an order, so a suggestion was all she made. Although in his state he may or may not be able to do anything... she thought.

She then pounded over to the nearest truck and clambered on top of it. She unholstered her gun again and fired three shots into the air to get everyone's attention.

"Shut up, all of you! Look, I get that you guys are trying to stop us from leaving 'ever', but have some foresight please!" She whipped out her Scroll, and its lit screen beamed out a tiny electronic light as she waved it over her head.

"Maybe you guys are still living sometime 500 years ago, but this thing here is called a cell phone! And we can call people far away with it, and every one of us travelers is equipped with one of these (addicting) useful devices! And because there's also something called data, we can make long-distance calls to Beacon Academy's aircraft to pick us up if we're in an emergency situation! So you're poorly thought-out attempt to 'keep us here forever' was all for nothing."

She took a deep breath. "So how about instead of pointlessly trying to cripple us and make us hate you, you work with us so we can do our job properly? And if you hate it here so goddamn much, then just, I don't know, freaking move somewhere else!"

She scanned the crowd. The most she can do is hope her little talk can cease the blatant robbery. it would be nice if Laura or Asura could show up and help contain the situation.
