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.

[The strike momentarily knocked the second Kishin Egg back, and fortunately Nataku struck out at the beast as it came in for another sweep at him.]

If that time comes, then I would be honoured to fight by your side.

[soulparadox]

[ The ribbon wraps around the second beast's neck to strangle this time. It takes a bit more energy to twist into a blade than it is to simply keep to its normal shape and injure. ]

Honor. Yes, I will feel honor, too.

[aiursfavoredson]

[Tassadar pulled back once Nataku had taken care of this particular Kishin Egg. The words his Weapon spoke caused a feeling of amused fondness within him, but that didn't stop Tassadar from charging at the next opponent as he maneuvered himself to bypass the crazed humans.]

[soulparadox]

[ He may not be allowed to harm the humans, but he would not let them hurt Tassadar. The ribbon lashes out to slam them into the nearest solid object, even if it were one another, just to help the Protoss pass. ]

[aiursfavoredson]

[He sent a wave of gratitude through their link as Nataku forced the humans out of his way. It made for a far easier charge, and the templar rapidly closed the distance.

Lowering his body, Tassadar moved to ram his armoured shoulder hard into the first, using his momentum to force the others back and off balance before he would continue the attack.]

[soulparadox]

[ Wrapping once more around Tassadar, he wonders if they are getting smarter or not. He does lash out after the Protoss forces the others back, to further give the alien room.

The end wraps around the neck of one of the nearest Kishin Egg. It merely is a thought if he could decapitate it before the others could regain their steps. ]

[aiursfavoredson]

[While Nataku dealt with the nearest Kishin Egg and lashed at the others, Tassadar turned his attention to the few coming in from behind. Reaching out to grab the Egg his Weapon had a hold of, he spun them around to toss the creature back towards the three approaching.

That would give them enough time to deal with the two now behind them. There was no doubt within him that they would.]

[soulparadox]

It seems like they really wish for us to die.

[ Releasing the Kishin Egg that was once in his grip toward the three approaching, he lashes out at the ones now behind them. The ribbon swings to grab onto the leg of one to trip into the other.

Immediate plan after that is to twist once more into a blade to impale one of them before either can get up. ]

[aiursfavoredson]

Indeed, but neither of us will perish on this day.

[Tassadar didn't hesitate to attack the moment that Nataku had tripped up one of the two Kishin Eggs. The few behind them were scrambling their way back to their feet, but the templar was already upon his newest target.

Sensing Nataku's shift, Tassadar struck out to impale the creature with his Weapon's blade-like form. It sunk deeply into the flesh before he twisted and pulled it up along the creature's torso moments before withdrawing.

Taking the opportunity while Nataku held that form, he swiped out with a wide, but powerful arch towards the incoming Kishin threat.]

[soulparadox]

That is what you always say, and it is what I always believe.

[ It is interesting to have these sort of talks with Tassadar. It was not as though he were not concerned or frightened about their current situation. He vaguely felt both of them, but there is a confidence in being able to speak to him in this way. Like the Protoss knew the future, and that is what he would like to believe.

While still in the bladed form, he is able to cut deep into the incoming threat. Across the chest -- deep enough to get stuck into the flesh as the ribbon starts to pull out once caught in the muscle. ]
