[Event Log] Mission #203 - Argentina, Bolivia and Chile

[soul_mods]

Characters: OPEN to those who signed up for the mission here.
Location: Argentina, Bolivia and Chile
Rating: Varies
Time: June 16th
Description: It's time to bring our comrades home. If they resist, talk some sense into them. And by that we mean knock them out and drag them back.



Early in the morning, all mission goers were gathered in front of Shinigami's mirror. Those who needed them were handed weapons to take along.

Once Shibusen personnel had every divided into three groups based on their destination, they began to set out.

The team headed to Argentina headed out first, followed by the team headed to Bolivia and finally the one headed for Chile.

All three arrive at different destinations but the atmosphere there were similar: quiet and grim. They will set out from the town and fan out from there.

The goal? To find the ones who were lost.

Doc Holiday | OTA before she's saved by Snake Eyes

[doc_holi]

[In the middle of the pain and the torturing and the screaming and all of that fun stuff, Holiday had idly thought that this is what it must feel like to go EVO right before coherent thought decided to abandon the rest of her mind.]

[If she were in a normal state, she would be worried about many things. Herself, for one, as the witches refused to stop their progress, insisting that she was hiding something, and the madness moved as smoothly as barbed wire through mind. Then there was Six, of course. He didn't scream for a long time until they finally snapped something in him. Whatever had happened was strange or perhaps the hallucinations had started before that point to make it seem strange. She wasn't sure. Frankly, she didn't really care all that much. She liked him better as a lizard even if he wasn't nearly as good looking, but the lizard didn't really like her. After a small scuffle, he had left her and she had lost him. She had lost her lizard. Now that's just plain embarrassing.]

[Oh well. She would eventually find him and give him a few more choice words. And if he left her again she would cut his damn head off. No rush, though. She had all the time in the world and she was just having far too much fun with her current prospect.]

[Holiday stumbled over the rocks as if she were drunk. Her clothes had been torn apart, including pieces of her armor that looked no better off than the fabric. Her messy hair hung loose out of its bun and patches of metal covered parts of her skin where blades from her Weapon form jutted out all over her body. She was also covered in a great deal of blood, but whether it was hers or someone else's she came in contact with earlier wasn't very telling. By the very vacant look on her face, it was clear that she wasn't exactly all there.]

Tagging in with Aqua and Shirogane.

[blue_wayfinder]

[Aqua had insisted on transforming as soon as they arrived. It made the most sense given that this place wasn't safe and she wasn't about to let anything happen to her Meister.

She was on edge, but focused and it carried over to her soul wavelength which hummed steadily beside Shirogane's.

When she 'saw' a figure, she knew better than to state the obvious. He didn't seem to particularly care for it, but she nudged him subtly, just in case he had been looking elsewhere.]

[thelongestword]

[He had seen the figure at about the same time that Aqua had, but there's no spike of annoyance at being nudged. He would save that for later, when the threat was over. Instead, he adjusts his grip on the handle of the keyblade and waits for this person, whether they be friend or foe, to approach.

Friend or foe, though, he was more than ready to seriously hurt them using Aqua.]

[doc_holi]

[She smelled them before she saw them.]

[Holiday stopped and slowly looked up to the new arrival(s). For a moment, she just stood there, staring at them through her messy hair, before finally breaking out into a seemingly unnatural smile.]

Play?

[blue_wayfinder]

[...there was something wrong here. Very, very wrong.

Aqua frowned, They hadn't gotten to the point where she could use her ability yet, but she worked to strengthen their resonance, anyway. It was best to be prepared in a situation like this (whatever that is...).]

[thelongestword]

[He didn't know the woman personally, but Aqua seemed to be uneasy, so he took that as an indication to mean there was something wrong and that this wasn't the way this person acted normally.

He doesn't answer though, opting to stand his ground and wait.]

[doc_holi]

[Nothing? No answer? No nothing?]

[Holiday keeps her smile for a moment more, waiting for them to speak up, yet nothing comes. All right, then. She slowly starts to hobble toward the pair.]

Have you seen my lizard? I lost him.

[blue_wayfinder]

What lizard?

[It was Aqua who answered from her Weapon form. There was no surface on the Keyblade large enough to show her reflection, however.]

[thelongestword]

It isn't a good idea to humor her.

[Shirogane is still not saying anything out loud though, because firstly, he was never a wordy person to people he didn't care about to begin with, and secondly, he doesn't want to be distracted in case the hobbling turns into an attack.]

[doc_holi]

[She kept moving closer, her arms dangling from side to side and her eyes rolling around randomly in their sockets from time to time. She didn't even noticed that the person whom she thought had answered her hadn't even moved his mouth. There were a lot of disembodied voices lately.]

My lizard. I lost him. Now no one wants to play.

[blue_wayfinder]

Everyone who was lost here was partnered. Maybe this has something to do with her partner.

[Secure in the knowledge that Shirogane was prepared, she kept talking.]

Do you know where you lost him?

[thelongestword]

[He still thinks this is a waste of time and that they should just knock her over the head with the over-large key and call it a day.

There's a definite feeling of annoyance simmering in his soul as he watches Holiday warily.]

[doc_holi]

I lost him. Lost him.

[Holiday stops her hobbling for a moment and looks at the two of them again. It's something him. Something about the look on his face. He doesn't care at all. She doesn't like it.]

[Her smile grows wider as she suddenly rushes them, her blades spiking out a little more.]

HERE HE COMES TO SAVE THE DAAAYYY

[hebi_no_me]

Knowing she was separated from her Meister was one thing - from the way she spoke of him, she'd want to be near him in a time of crisis. Six must be in even worse condition than Snake Eyes imagined Dr. Holiday was.

Hopefully Biowulf could handle it. Since Snake Eyes had plenty of trouble, apparently.

He finally saw what appeared to be Dr. Holiday in the distance - she had blades sticking out of her and was covered in blood.

He burst forward towards her, immediately concerned that that may be her blood caused by those blades, but as soon as he was close enough, the blades were clearly...coming right out of her. And most of her clothes were gone, too.

As she swayed a bit more, Snake Eyes considered reaching out a hand to steady her - unsure of how she'd react in this state.

MY HERO

[doc_holi]

Holiday had been swaying around quite a lot recently. Things were more fun that way and she didn't feel like putting out the energy needed to always stay steady.

When she noticed someone new was there, Holiday stopped moving in the middle of a stance that suggested she would just fall over, yet she didn't. After a moment, she righted herself to full height once more and smirked.

"I remember you." Her tone held less accusation and more of a... sing-song sort of tune.

[hebi_no_me]

He stared at her as she turned towards him, scanning her full appearance to see how hurt she was.

Snake Eyes nodded at her words and placed a hand on her shoulder, carefully avoiding a blade.

[doc_holi]

Holiday quickly twisted around to put her back to him to attempt grabbing the hand on her shoulder and flipping him.

[hebi_no_me]

He stepped back, avoiding her attack - and a bit surprised by it. Fortunately, her movements were relatively slow compared to Snake Eyes' usual opponents.

He held up his hands in front of her as a symbol of peace. Chances are she wouldn't comprehend any sign language at this point.

[doc_holi]

Holiday pointed an accusing finger at him, even as her grin grew into something that suggested she was saying something only humorous to other psychotics.

"You're that quiet guy, aren't you? Hard to forget a face like that."

She rushed him again, her movements much faster than average as it was being advanced by the Madness, but probably still not on his level. At least, not above it.

[hebi_no_me]

Her speed definitely picked up with her second attack, but he was more prepared and jumped out of the way, running around to be behind her.

Dr. Holiday was obviously not going to be talked out of this Madness. Especially...without having someone talk back. He didn't want to knock her out, but he didn't know how else he'd be able to stop her.

[doc_holi]

Holiday didn't slow her momentum. Her arm swung around behind her in an attempt to nail him. For what she lacked in stance, defense, and speed, she had gained it in her wild and unpredictable movements, plus her balance seemed to be pretty well maintained.

Her leg swished out from under her, attempting to trip him or something, though her blades stuck out even there.

[hebi_no_me]

Surprised at her sudden speed, Snake Eyes jumped back, a good few feet out of the doctor's range.

This may be...a bit more difficult than he'd thought.

[doc_holi]

She continued to rush him, changing her direction to match his. It's not so much about hurting him as it is about playing with him, but they both really went in the same category.

[hebi_no_me]

He jumped back further, tempted to head back into the trees he came out of. She needed to be subdued quickly. Or else she might hurt herself.

[doc_holi]

"Come back!" she beckoned out to him, "I just wanna play. Slow down."

She laughed as her arm swung down to hopefully crack against his skull.
