Florence
Florence had been immediately evacuated the moment Shibusen Florence recieved word from Death City about the danger to its population. Most of its citizenry had left, but the sentries, guards, and local militia (and mafia) had stayed to bravely defend the city. These were unfortunately the ones being affected by madness, to turn against each other with the same determination they had attempted to show their duty.
The streets of central Florence are plunged in chaos, with torches lit and some structures burning. Those who have managed to resist the madness to try to salvage the museums are hardpressed to defend themselves against those that have become crazy, but the light rain in the afternoon helps.
Frankfurt
It's cold and grey in Frankfurt but the streets are busy with activity. Germany has deployed its military to assist Shibusen Frankfurt in evacuating the people into shelters and taking down those that have begun to go mad. The problem is that even with their haste, it's still not enough, and they are becoming more overwhelmed by the hour. A number of makeshift forts and shelter are scattered throughout the city, requiring help to get through the crazed people outside. Kishin eggs in random areas are taking people down one by one in a frenzied eating craze.
Prague
The Prague agents are unlucky today with the weather, with the cold and chances of light snow. They're given coats or jackets before they leave Shibusen Prague, but are quickly urged on to the northwest part of the city. The heaviest of the violence and damage becomes concentrated there by afternoon, with people boarded up in buildings and kishin eggs preying on the people outside.
Vienna
It's snowing lightly in Vienna when the agents come in, and it seems that the situation there had gone from all right to downright crazy in the minute it took for the madness wavelength to sweep the city just an hour before. There is chaos as people run from murderous citizens and the police try to take them down. The prisons are already overflowing, some with people desperate to protect themselves from attack.
It doesn't take long before the first kishin eggs appear, people who accidentally kill others and eat their souls in madness.

He was best off not focusing on that, as difficult as it was. He needed to focus on his other self and whatever aid he could lend to him in weapon form aside from simply existing. Something was clicking between them, but if this was resonating or not he couldn't be sure He'd figured he'd just know when that happened, but maybe it wasn't so simple.
At their level of skill, and Davesprite himself wasn't even aware of this, a small increase in speed is about as much as he can give.
no subject
The small increase in speed is better then anything, honestly. Dave wasn't even sure how to use his meister ability yet. That was something that he hadn't really figured out and he hasn't exactly had a lot of time or chances to use it.
Even as he lay the first hit on the closest kishin egg, he was already keeping in mind where the others were or if there were any close by that might approach them. This was not the place where he wanted to get any unneeded injuries. And he had to make sure Davesprite didn't get into any trouble because he was a shitty meister.
no subject
And providing a little friendly banter might make things easier for his partner too, though he didn't want to overdo the jokes. This was himself, and he knew himself, though he also didn't do much talking when fighting solo, so this was a new experience. It wouldn't do to annoy himself either.
Man. Annoying himself would just be all sorts of failure.
wow I can't take this seriously anymore. That icon hahaha.
The friendly banter did help in keeping his mind off that this was really pretty real and that if he had let himself get hit, that would have hurt pretty bad. The thought of maybe dying in the back of his mind was annoying and he'll just replace it with the small conversation he's having with Davesprite.
He held him up and leaped to cut through the first kishin egg. Better keep track on how many they get through. Shits gonna be a wild ass ride.
haha sorry
When Dave attacked, he did his best to be, well, a weapon. Was there some special way he was supposed to act? Some mental process to put himself through? Light as a feather, stiff as a board? Yeah, he had no clue. The only thing to do in a situation like this was to work on instinct, so that's what he did.
no subject
"This just got one hundred fucking percent way too real for my blood." Dave scrambled back to his feet and charged at the Kishin Egg that tried attacking him.
no subject
It was his job as a sprite and a weapon to protect his alpha self. No matter what was said, he couldn't not default to that in the middle of combat. He was still hard-wired for it.
"Go for their legs. Aim low. No point in playing nice."
no subject
But he does listen, because Davesprite was him and the other knew his shit better then he did most likely. He's never completely sure about the stupid time shenanigans, but he trusted the other. And incapacitating them was a good way to get around things. It would give him time to incapacitate the other ones and maybe he can take them all out all at once after.
no subject
Of course changing back might be a different matter, but there was no way he was coming out of this making a mess on his Alpha bro's shoes. He could handle this like a pro.
"See if anyone needs help, too. If we can gang up, it'll be easier all around."
no subject
"I think the question is, who doesn't need help in this shithole? I think just trying to clear the area we're in should be enough. They have other people positioned in other parts of this city. I'm going to be an ass and assume they can handle their shit as well as we are." Which, surprisingly, is better then Dave had thought they would do.
He cuts through one of the Kishin eggs before it can consume another civilian.
no subject
Ew, not focusing on enemy insides was definitely the proper thing to do. Because those were just downright nasty and he'd technically been the one doing all the slicing, even if he wasn't wielding himself.
Or. Actually he was wielding himself, just not in the way that... Yeah, this wasn't going to get any less confusing any time soon. Slicing and dicing, bro. Just have to focus on that. And not what that caused. He really needed to stop thinking in circles while he was at it.
no subject
He could vomit lunch up later. That shit was gross. Wow, way to not concentrate on gross things.
"You keeping count of these suckers going down? Gotta make sure we have bragging rights when we get back." Not that he will most likely. But it might help keep their minds off the actual deed.
no subject
"I've got your numbers, bro. We'll rack up the biggest high score, and our initials are already the same so it won't be hard to mark us on the charts. The real Street Fighter ultimate edition." Though he knows neither of them actually care about having a high score in anything related to the killing of sentient beings. Just because it was obvious to everyone that they had a conscience didn't mean they had to flaunt it.
"Doing alright?"
