[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 snickers and dispatches a spider before it can grab for her]

I'll mark it down on my calendar! Maybe one day it'll be a National Holiday.
donttelldaddy: (Hair flip)

[Lili gives it a boot for good measure.]

You'll need to do more than that to merit a holiday.
forhispeople: (smile confident front)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-01 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm open to suggestions, petition now!
donttelldaddy: (Interested)

[personal profile] donttelldaddy 2012-04-01 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't I tell you that most people don't get lessons on how to impress girls? I've already given you one, now it's time to fend for yourself.
forhispeople: (smile- super innocent)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-01 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I didn't realize that I was supposed to try and keep impressing you! Very well then.... I'd like to congratulate you on a smashing job of taking out these ants and spiders. I'm quite in awe, and I would've been in a pickle if you hadn't been here. Thanks!

You know, you've got a very long kick radius.
donttelldaddy: (Legs and bondage!)

[personal profile] donttelldaddy 2012-04-01 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
You mean nice legs.
forhispeople: (oh dear did I do that?)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-02 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, Ling has never really thought about a girl having nice legs in the sense that they're sexy. He's 16 and it just... hasn't really occurred to him because girls where he's from always have them covered up. He just thinks it's great to for a girl to kick well.]

I think so! Kicking is more useful than punching in the kind of fights I'm used to with Xingese adversaries. You want to keep assassins away from you, having long legs is key. I guess we're pretty lucky that way, huh?
donttelldaddy: (AHAHAHAHA)

[personal profile] donttelldaddy 2012-04-02 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Lili laughs. He's not even feigning innocence, he's just naturally clueless, isn't he?]

Of course.
forhispeople: (smile confident front)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-02 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He beams, thoroughly happy to think that he's made her laugh with his kind compliment.]

It looks like we've cleaned these bugs up here. Shall we... run off into the sunset and find some more to exterminate? I could use your legs to cover my back!

donttelldaddy: (Kind of a stalker)

[personal profile] donttelldaddy 2012-04-04 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Off into the sunset?
forhispeople: (heh nice one)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-04 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! Like in all the good books. It's for dramatic effect.

Doesn't matter that the sun isn't setting. Just go with it.
donttelldaddy: (Yeah I'm hot.)

[personal profile] donttelldaddy 2012-04-04 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
I would love to, but I think someone might be looking for me.
forhispeople: (here's my wish list)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-04 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Aha! Well, you better go find them right away. If I were looking for someone [And he was] I'd be terribly worried them right now. If they see you, they'll be relieved!
donttelldaddy: (Searching)

[personal profile] donttelldaddy 2012-04-05 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. [He's right, though, she really should get going. Lili gives him a quick peck on the cheek and heads off in the opposite direction.] Be careful, Ling!
forhispeople: (let me show you my moves)

1/2

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-05 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Ling thinks it's an attack, and tries to dodge it instinctively. You aren't raised to defend against assassins by letting people get in your personal space. His hands flash up to defend but... she caught the edge of his cheek anyway it appears.]

Hey, what the--
forhispeople: (am I looking? no I'm not looking)

2/2

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-04-05 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[But she's gone now. He wipes his cheek, turning pink as he walks away. That must have just been his imagination, he tells himself.]
