[Event] Invasion!

Characters: OPEN to everyone!
Location: All over Death City
Rating: Various
Time: February 2nd
Description: Witches have invaded and are attacking the city!

The attack, when it comes, happens quickly enough that Death City would have been caught flat-footed had there been no prior warning, but it's not completely unexpected because of the city's heightened state of alarm the past day. Warning sirens start sounding to alert the citizens and guests the moment a dark, slow-moving mass out in the desert to the south-east of Death City is spotted by Shibusen sentries. There's even time for civilians to run and hide before the mass is identified as an army of what looks like decaying, shambling corpses. The city's defenders are slow to move, however; most of them are distracted and are having trouble dealing with the black blood in their bodies. While agents are gathering to head out to deal with the zombie threat, that's when the witches make their move.

Portals begin opening in the skies above the city, disgorging hideous familiars: bulbous spiders and leggy ants the size of dogs. They drop hundreds of feet down into the streets and alleyways of Death City, and scuttle off in search of victims. The spiders are poisonous and can spin copious amounts of web to capture their targets, the ants spit acid that cause agonizing, paralyzing pain. Their masters bear down on the city in a cloud of black shadows--massive ravens strong enough to carry off adult men. There are five witches, women on broomsticks, beautiful if not for their crazed grins and obvious glee at the chaos descending upon the city. At some unknown signal--maybe the cackling from a couple of them--they dive in concert and disappear into different areas of the city.

Their masterful plan has begun!

[He doesn't think he's seen anyone following Ling around--he'd probably have mentioned it to his friend, especially if he thought Ling was being stalked by a person in a mask. But that's okay. He can get properly introduced later, anyway.]

A mask? What for?

[He has to call out pretty loudly over the sound of ants being dismembered. The cracks of their exoskeletons are especially loud when he breaks them with his practice sword.]

[Ling rolls underneath an ant and kicks upward, his foot cracking through its belly]

It's tradition. The bodyguards of the royal family all wear them. It shows how good they are!

[Ling rolls back out and jumps onto the back of the ant that was beside the last one. He takes a moment to give Takuto a friendly little smile.]

But if you ask me, Ran Fan probably likes using it to hide her emotions. Heh. She's a little shy.

[In Takuto's opinion, masks are certainly used for hiding. And he's never really liked that about masks.]

Sounds like a weird tradition if you ask me. But I guess most traditions are pretty weird.

[He smiles back, shrugging a little before he returns to counting how many insects he's defeated, falling into a rhythm knocking the insects off balance with his blunt sword and then cutting them in a vital area with the sharp one.]
forhispeople: (where did my younger stupider days go)

It is. I hope... someday. She'll feel okay to let it go...

[Takuto may or may not have overheard a wistful little sigh as Ling finishes two more ants, counting along with how many he's offed.]
