[attr="class","character-spring-1d"]She really believed she was a time traveler from way in the future. Now that Hilda thought about it, it was not impossible given their circumstances. Still, there was an entire geographical displacement that this young lady attributed to her situation. It was certainly a new take on it. “Is that so? Well, I will have to visit this Wutai should I live long enough to see it.” Did it not bother her that she may not see her country again?
Hilda gave a surprised expression. “My goodness. No, not poison. It simply makes the wine sour. I am not THAT kind of lady.” My, My. It seemed everyone assumed the worst from her. Did she have that kind of appearance? She gave a slight huff in annoyance. Yuffie’s bragging came out like she had sucked helium out of balloons. It was amusing, if not stealthy.
“You do have the gist of the issue here.” She told Yuffie gently, her hands neatly folded on her lap. “I bother with the small details in order to convince them to give the money over to the right person.” She shook her head and gave another soft sigh. Her eyelashes lowered to hide her eye roll at Yuffie. This was starting to cost time they could be spending putting the plan into action. “If we steal the money, then they will look for it, will they not? In addition, if they find it in the hands of what we deemed the right person, what do you think will happen? They would accuse Baroness Melody of stealing and not only take it from her, but close her charity. They may even put her in jail.”
Hilda stated sternly and shook her head. “The consequences are much too dire to dare something like.that. But feel free to pilfer their pouches for yourself. The main sum must go to charity through the politics here.” Hilda hummed in thought, “In fact, you could steal their vest buttons or broaches. They are worth much.” And it would leave them embarrassed to see their clothing dismantled. Hilda could not hide a smile at the thought.
“I see. Let me try to reverse my spell.” Hilda made small gestures and murmured a gentle rhyme to mimic reversing the spell. However, she did not want to lift her from being mini just yet. Instead, she touched her fingers to her brow and gave an apologetic look. “Oh dear.” She started. “It seems I spent much of my magic tonight. After the dinner tonight to regain my energy, I shall be able to revert you to your form then.”
She stood up and moved to reopen the glass doors from the balcony. “Shall we then?”

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
So, Big Dress Lady wanted to visit Wutai did she? Well, that didn't surprise Yuffie. Non-Wutians always wanted to visit. That was how Shinra had turned it into a tourist destination. Personally, Yuffie hated that, but she figured that she could still support her new friend. Possible friend. Well, she had no idea what her name was, but if she had magic, she had materia, so she was a friend in the sense that Yuffie would hang out with her until either she learned her name or figured out how to steal all of her materia from her. Either was good! "Well, actually, in my time, we're kinda moving away from the whole 'tourist destination' thing. It was forced on us for a while but now we're free! But it's okay, I'm totally a big deal in Wutai, I can get you in," Yuffie smiled, apparently not quite comprehending that they were (by her reckoning) in the past and therefore the future of Wutai hadn't happened yet...
"So I'm gonna make the wine taste gross? Wine ALREADY tastes gross. I snuck some out from the Highwind when we were celebrating saving the world. I dunno how you grown ups drink that stuff. It is REALLY yucky," she remarked, wrinkling her nose, obviously not having acquired a taste for wine yet. "But okay. Make the wine even grosser. I can do that!" she beamed.
"Huh. Darned consequences. Always gettin' in the way of my great plans," Yuffie sulked with her arms folded when Hilda pointed out all the reasons just stealing the money was a bad idea. Why didn't the victims have the good sense to just give up when they got stolen from? People were always chasing her down to reclaim their property. It wasn't fair!
"We could just bust her outta jail afterwards?" Yuffie suggested, but she could already see Hilda wasn't buying the idea. "I'm Yuffie Kisaragi! Champion of the Earth and Sky! Defier of Evil! I can totally save somebody who's innocent from prison!" she went on cheerfully, but she could see the idea was already forgotten.
"Hey, I'm not some petty thief. I don't jus' steal 'cause I want money," Yuffie protested. "But I do totally steal gil when it shows up people's dumb faces," a sentence that probably made more sense in her head. "Plus, stealing their buttons? That'll be so funny when their pants fall down!" she giggled, already amused.
And then she revealed that she couldn't make Yuffie normal size again. "You mean I gotta do all of this as tiny?" she asked. "Wow, lady, you're lucky I'm the world's greatest ninja. Even being shrunk won't stop me. TINY YUFFIE, GOOOO!" she cheered, throwing her hands up in the air. "Uh, of course, carrying all those pills for the wine is gonna be super hard this tiny, but I can do it!"
[attr="class","character-spring-1c"]"A Night of Art"
[attr="class","character-spring-1d"]“Is that so? Oh. I wouldn’t want to impose or set the wrong impression by visiting though.” If they were forced to be a tourist destination under oppression, Lady Hilda did not want to be the one to offend an entire nation simply by coming to visit out of interest. “A ‘big deal’ too? You must be a princess then.” She unknowingly meant it as a tease.
This Yuffie certainly had the energy, but lacked the skill for follow through. Even if her intent was kindhearted. Or perhaps, Hilda did not know her well enough to really understand her skill level. Were all ninjas like this? She never met one before. Certainly curious. Though, she still did not understand her reasoning for stealing.
“Dear Champion, the fate of tonight rests in your hands.” Hilda decided to milk it. After all, Yuffie seemed to be. “You have my deepest gratitude for accepting my plight. Even when I cannot restore your right away.” Hilda lowered her lashes and bowed her head.
Hilda looked down at the pills again. She did have a point. Would be hard to carry them when you aren’t quite normal sized. Hilda gave a soft smile as she removed a silk handkerchief from her sleeve. She neatly took the pills and folded them inside the handkerchief, before moving to tie it on Yuffie like a little backpack. “How is that? Or I could handle the wine, if you prefer.”
Hilda could do it in three easy steps: Mini the cork, place the pills inside, and restore the cork again. No one would be the wiser.
“Now come along. We have to return or it will be over and we missed our chance.”
She pushed open the door, and let the cool air of the inside brush her hair. Well, she had her work cut out for her. She waited to see if Yuffie wanted another ride along the fabric of her skirt.
Down the hallway they tapped back. The guards seemed to be vigilant, but no longer actively looking. They allowed her back in wordlessly. The room was now being set up for dinner as the last performer played. For now, people were congregating in social circles. She hoped Yuffie would hop to her tasks, while Hilda went about doing her own...sabotage mission.
It sounded so ominous when she thought of it that way.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
The Big Dress Lady fretted over causing a scene if she visited Wutai, which, well, unfortunately wouldn't happen, because the amount of visitors to Wutai had been so high lately nobody would think twice about her. Although they might question her weird big dress. She wore a big grin, well, a big grin given how tiny her face was at that moment, when the Big Dress Lady called her a 'princess'. Usually Yuffie went back and forth on whether to boast of her 'royal title' (not that there was any such a thing, but a lot of people labelled her as such), and in this case, she settled on yes, boasting about it totally made sense. Since Big Dress Lady seemed so posh and stuck up that being able to trump her on poshness was totally worth it! "Weeeeeell, not to brag, but yeah, I'm kinda totally the princess," Yuffie said proudly. "My Dad rules all of Wutai and I'm his daughter, and nowhere else even has rule like that these days, so all you Shinra peeps dreaming of fairy tales and princesses and things are like, dead jealous, 'cause I'm the ONLY real princess in the world. So ha!" she beamed. "Mostly, anyway. We don't really use the title. That's, y'know, not a Wutai thing. Anyway, I'm not ONLY a princess! I'm also Wutai's Greatest Warrior! I fought to the top of the Pagoda and defeated my Dad and everything! So yeah! I'm a kick butt warrior AND a princess!" She threw a couple of her usual air punches to demonstrate this kick buttness, just in case the Big Dress Lady had forgotten.
Yuffie positively beamed when Hilda addressed her as a 'champion', expecting her to save the day. "Don't worry, Big Dress Lady! The Champion of the Earth and Sky is ON IT! They'll never stop me!" she beamed proudly. "Let's do it!" she jumped down, taking the newly secured backpack, and caught onto the bottom of the Big Dress Lady's ... big... dress. "ALRIGHT, BIG DRESS LADY, TALLY HOOOOOOOOOOO!" she called, throwing a tiny finger into the air. Yes, poisoning the wine (which is how she thought of it) was going to be a bit harder at this size, but she was a NINJA, she knew how to be stealthy!
....Well, she'd heard about being stealthy.
Well, she'd read it on the title of a lesson she didn't bother to go to once.
The point is, she could sneak around! How hard could it be? Nobody would be looked for TINY YUFFIE! And then she could slip the pills and she'd have saved the day from whatever it was Big Dress Lady wanted her to save it from when she had stopped really paying attention or worrying about those things. She was sure it was a very noble cause! Big Dress Lady seemed to think so. And that was what was truly important!
Well, that and causing trouble. If she was stuck in the past, she might as well have some fun!
[attr="class","character-spring-1c"]“A Night of Art”
[attr="class","character-spring-1d"] It seemed Yuffie had quite a bit to say about her own station. Though in truth, it was difficult to parse what was fact from fiction from this young lady. Had she read an action book? Or was she really a princess? “I beg your pardon, but I have no relations with this 'Shinra'.” The fact the girl stated Hilda was ‘you Shinra peeps’ made it harder for her to understand whether this was a story or not. She raised her finger tips to her lips, as Yuffie demonstrated her prowess. She decided to play alone. “A warrior princess. Your people must be well-guarded indeed. I am ever honored by your assistance.”
Enthusiastically, the mini-ed ninja jumped onto her skirt. Thankfully, even if the girl’s voice was still loud, she was small enough to not be seen.
The hall was filled with the music of the final performance for the competition. Once completed, there would be dinner with the judges. Then, the judges would go to a room to deliberate the final decisions - the winner’s choice of where the funds should go. Dinner was the only chance to make any influence here. Hilda gently walked through the crowds to where the hor d'oeuvres tables were now slid against the wall near the kitchen. Maids and butlers were coming and going as they set up for the dinner. “In there,” Hilda murmured just loudly enough for Yuffie to hear. “It’s the Petrus Bourdeaux, dear. When you’re done, don’t forget a few vest buttons along the way.” Some people missing buttons would be quite the embarrassment.
Once Hilda dropped Yuffie off, she turned to the rest of the room. Lord Albrecht would have his wine ruined. She supposed Lady Carnegie would be easiest to approach. She eyed the room for a moment, before spotting Lady Carnegie in a social circle midway in the room. Hilda eased herself inside of the conversation. “Lady Carnegie, are you enjoying the performances this evening?”
Hilda already found a way to spoil Carnegie’s reputation tonight so she had less leaning with the judges. It also required no words. Hilda’s eyes trailed down to the other woman’s sleeve where there was a stain from cake frosting.
“I especially love this final performance. The violin is so full of soul.” Lady Carnegie’s eyes trailed down to her sleeve, just as Hilda shifted her gaze to pretend she had not noticed. But, by then, everyone else in the circle also was gazing at the stain.
“Isn’t it? It’s like they are playing from their heart.”

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie just grinned up at the Big Dress Lady as she denied all involvement with Shinra. A LIKELY story. Besides, even if Shinra didn't exist or whatever, that didn't change anything! She was still clearly a Shinra-y lady. All big dresses and fancy dances. She bet this was what Shinra executives did all the time. Like that horrible Scarlet woman. She would have been right at home in a place like this. "So you should be, Big Dress Lady!" Yuffie replied proudly, when she said she was honoured by her help. "But don't worry! The Great Ninja Yuffie ALWAYS helps those in need!"
And right now, the neediest person just so happened to be HERSELF! But she didn't say that bit. Instead, she slid down from Big Dress Lady's dress, ready to head to the kitchen and spike the wine. She grinned to herself as Big Dress Lady advised stealing a few buttons. "Oh, I will," she smirked, lifting a big pearl she had pulled from Big Dress Lady's, well, big dress, as she had slid off along the way. "I wonder if there's a way to make this thing grow big with me when I get back to normal size?" she asked nobody in particular, before she hid the pearl under a nearby table, and set off towards the kitchen.
"Okay, Yuffie, time to show 'em what a stealthy ninja you can be!" she announced to absolutely nobody, and ran into the kitchen. She started singing under her breath her very own stealthy infiltration theme as she snuck around, but fortunately, the kitchen was busy enough that nobody could hear her as she approached the bottles of wine.
With some quick ninja flips, she leapt up onto the table, and snuck towards the bottles of wine, where she saw them gathered. "Okay, now just to pour it in the... the.... uh?" she paused, thinking. "The Peter... Borderoo?" she repeated, trying to remember what Big Dress Lady had said. She dodged between the labels, still singing her theme tune, looking between them. "Aw, none of these bottles are called Peter!" she pouted. "Oh screw it, I'm just gonna put a bit in all of 'em!" she said with a grin. After all, she didn't care about Big Dress Lady's plan, she just wanted to ruin the fancy party. She started sneaking between the bottles, putting drops of the liquid the lady had given her in, when suddenly as she was crawling up one, somebody threw some kind of towel over her.
Plunged into darkness, she was suddenly aware that the bottle she was clinging to was being picked up and placed in something, covered by what must have been a cloth. Her eyes went wide as suddenly she landed in an ice bucket, along with the bottle. "AH! COLD! COLD! COLD!" she shrieked. "FIRAGA!" she yelled without thinking, firing a fireball at the ice to melt it. Which of course caused enough fire to light the cloth over the bottle on fire, and suddenly it went up.
The waiter carrying the ice bucket and bottle yelped in surprise, dropping both. It hit the ground with a smokey, fiery mess, and Yuffie rolled out. She was aware that the waiter was staring down at her and a lot of people were gasping. And she was still tiny. "Wuh oh. CHEESE IT!" she yelled, and ran as fast as she could towards the nearest window for an exist, ducking and diving underneath tables as guests shrieked....
Where was Big Dress Lady!? She was meant to have Yuffie's back!
[attr="class","character-spring-1c"]“A Night of Art”
[attr="class","character-spring-1d"]Hilda gave a soft, disappointed sigh to have a pearl missing from her own dress. That was quite counter to what she had in mind. But she could hide the defect well enough with a proper position of her arms. She would have to take her pearl back so she could have a tailor fix it. Or, depending on her mood later, she would let the young lady have her momentary victory. Still she focused on the conversation with the group about the performances. Lady Carnegie was just exercising herself to use the resting area, when there was a call for dinner.
The banquet’s dinner tables were set up with elegant white linen and red table runners. The tables were extravagantly set with silver plates and utensils. There were pot roasts, roasted chicken, and all manner of other side dishes. It all smelled rather good. A soup and salad were already set for participants. AN announcement was made for people to take their assigned seating.
It was during this process, that one of the waiter’s dropped a bucket and let out a surprised yelp. The bucket splashed its contents across the floor and something in it was on fire. Then there were a couple of other yelps then Hilda could see something small skitter along the floor towards the window. She gave an unamused look and touched her temple. What had Hilda expected to happen? Hilda made small gestures and the window wanted to float open with her magic, but the latch vibrated and kept it shut. If Yuffie could unlatch it, she’d be free to escape.
However, Hilda could not stop her from being seen by everyone. It was too late for that.
Already there were attendants to deal with the small fire that now occurred. The cloth was snuffed out with a bit of water and stamping. Though there was a lot of commotion and pointing. The guards were already entering back into the hall searching for the mini-ed Yuffie again. They had but to follow the surprised gazes of the crowd.
Once Yuffie reached the window, she would mutter another quiet spell of “Esuna” to turn Yuffie back to her normal size. Hilda could not tell if Yuffie simply did not want to go with the plan or simply botched it. Either way, Yuffie posed enough of a distraction for the night. Perhaps, it would even postpone the judging. Either way, the girl attempted to steal one of Hilda’s pearls and caused quite the commotion tonight. Hilda was losing her patience. This would all the further aid Yuffie would receive.
