Characters: Everyone who signed up here.
Location: Norway
Rating: Various
Time: 20th of Feb, before the tsunami
Description: Shibusen agents head out to stop an all-out Kishin Egg attack on the citizens of Norway.

[The country had been bombarded with an influx of Kishin Eggs over the last few weeks, but Shibusen agents have been deployed to help defend Norway! These aren’t your regular Kishin Eggs though. These eggs have been feeding on the helpless human souls throughout the country, and have grown in strength and power! Be careful when going up against these foes or they might just get the better of you!

Those heading through to Norway will find there's a chill on the air. The air is so cold that it felt as though it would cut right through to your bones! So wrap yourselves up warmly.]

[ooc: The log format will be the standard format: [Character/s][Time][Open/Closed]. The threads will be the usual make your own style.]

[Kanji and Megumi][Noon and Onward][Closed]

[topgun_textiles]

Any local would roll their eyes and tell you 'Welcome to Norway' to anyone who showed up during the winter months and complained about the cold, and probably ask why the hell you visited in the first place were it not infested with monsters at the moment.

Kanji thought slightly ahead, zipping his leather coat up over two layers of clothing and pulling a knit hat down over his ears, before all but shoving a pair of gloves, a scarf, and a hat on Megumi just in case. H-he had extras lying around, okay!?

The cacophony of battle all around them, the teen turned a shade-covered glance to the woman and started cracking his knuckles. He'd helped in securing the area around the mirror, and was more than ready to jump right into the fray.

"Let's go, Doc!"



[ooc: Up to you if you wanna keep it prose or switch to action, Shiru! :3]

[Aqua and Takasugi][Late morning][Closed]

[blue_wayfinder]

[There was probably something ironic that both times they were in Europe together it was because they were dealing with some sort of wide-scale attack. But Aqua was determined not to think too deeply on the situation.

Focus on the fight: it was easier that way.

She made sure the ends of her scarf were tucked securely in her coat before turning to her partner (she hadn't thought she'd get the chance to call him that again).]

Ready?

[Eve and Keroro][Noon][Closed]

[nolicenseyet]

[Eve now habitually checked the weather report of wherever they were supposed to be going on a mission to. It saved a lot of headache later.

Luckily it didn't look like there was going to be a storm or rain today, so they should be fine.

But it was cold, so she made sure to dress as warmly as she could. She pulled the hat on her head a little more snugly on her head.]

[Chika and Waltz][Time][Closed]

[threefourtime]

[Waltz had transformed at his earliest convenience. While winter in Forte was cold, it was never quite this bad. The cold here was more like the frozen country of Baroque and the reminder of that place dug up a lot of memories that he'd rather leave buried.

But even without those memories Waltz had never much liked the cold.]

Do try not to get killed out there.

[Giroro and Sapphire][Noon][Closed]

[this_is_keron]

[Giroro insisted that he wasn't cold. He wasn't cold at all despite not having put on even a scarf. The high body fat percentage common to Keronians made it so he wasn't cold at all!

...okay, maybe he was still a little cold, but admitting it and putting on a scarf would be admitting defeat. And like hell he was going to be beaten by this weather!

He hadn't transformed yet, standing with his arms crossed and staring towards where their fight is going to take place.]

I hope you're ready. [After all, it's too late to back out now.]

[scatterflower]

*Chika shivered, holding Waltz in her hands and freezing despite being completely bundled up with all the winter survival gear she could wear while still being able to move.*

You say that like people plan on dying.

*Still, she could kinda see Waltz concern... maybe.*

[pathofstrength]

[Sapphire had expected cold...well, she had expected "cold", the kind of "cold" that someone born and raised on a perpetually balmy island would dream up while looking at picture of pleasantly snowy landscapes. Luckily, she had friends in Death City who were better educated on cold weather and convince her to wear something insulating. It wasn't really enough, but it took the worst of the sting off, and at least it was light enough that she could still move around in it.

She's crossing her arms, too...but for warmth, not image.]

A' 'cos I'm ready. Those nasty eggs ain't gonna know what hit 'em!

[She's already leaning forward, looking over the landscape. Those rocky slopes were no obstacle...and the cover of trees wasn't quite like what she was used to, but in a pinch it could work to give them recovery time...]

This's my first time fightin' somethin' like this, but even so, I won't let ya down!

[Minato and Naoto][Noon][Closed]

[pishirogane]

She made sure the previous evening after other affairs to prepare for today. One matter covered was the coats, making sure they were protect both herself and Minato from the chilling Norwegian weather. Second was making sure they were have sufficient first aid supplies in case. The reported number of Kishin eggs and their difficulty meant they had to be careful.

Naoto felt the icy wind nip at her exposed face. She raised her scarf up a bit more to mask her mouth and her eyes narrowed behind blue-framed glasses (they helped reduce the wind irritating her eyes). There was the unmistakable sounds of battle: the screams as people were killed, the tangled roars of the various kishin eggs, and the sound of fire crackling over the buildings reduced to rubble.

"Let us not waste anymore time, Arisato-san..." She took a second to assume her Weapon form.

[Amaterasu and Mickey][Morning][Closed]

[motherofthesun]

[Compared to the constantly frozen land in the North, her fur still did the trick to keep her body warm. Her paws set upon the permafrost ground heavily as they stepped out of the mirror and her ears were high. Immediately, her stance shifted when the destruction was made clear, the haze of the travel leaving her.]

[Crouching, she growled loudly, not caring which Kishin heard her first which was made evident when she let out a vicious snarl. Which one wanted to be first?]

[this_is_keron]

Hn. [This time was different than what happened during the last attack on the city. He'd partnered with others then out of necessity, but this time it was because he genuinely acknowledged Sapphire's fighting spirit.] It's not like I've ever fought these things either.

[He uncrossed his arms.] Let's go.

[threefourtime]

[Mostly he was concerned what would become of him should anything happen to her. But there was still a degree of concern for her...sort of.]

Very few people ever plan to, but there are far too many who get into situations they cannot get out of simply because they misjudged their own abilities.

[He didn't sound particularly sympathetic.]

[scatterflower]

*Chika sighed.*

Fine. Fine. I'll try not to die. Just make sure you don't misjudge your own.

[pathofstrength]

Heh! [She nods emphatically and starts forward, listening to be sure that she and Giroro are staying within reach.]

We should try an' get one on it's own, so we'll know just what it is we're dealin' with!

[Eyeing the high points here - trees, hills, tops of buildings. If these opponents can't climb, then that'd be a good bet for distance attacks.]

[Yako and Yami Bakura][Late Morning and Onward][Closed]

[itaidakimasu]

Yako shivered lightly, curling deeper into her jacket. She had actually had to wear jeans for once, and the chill was still seeping through. It served as a decent enough cover, however, for why she was sticking so close to the disagreeable Meister she had arranged to work with for the time being. The Madness Wavelength still scraped at her, the way it did every time she left the safety of Shibusen, so she did her best to drown it out by synching up her wavelength with his as much as possible without forming the connection yet.

"Are you ready?" She put the confusion over his identity out of her mind, for the moment. They had bigger things to worry about, for the moment, such as the monster rampaging at the other end of the street.

Re: [Amaterasu and Mickey][Morning][Closed]

[kingofdisney]

*Mickey was already transformed, resting and ready for whatever was going on in Ammy's grip. It made things a lot easier. Sure, he could already kinda understand her as normal, but at least now there was definitely not going to need to be any guesswork at all.*

You ready for this?

Re: [Amaterasu and Mickey][Morning][Closed]

[motherofthesun]

I was just about to ask you that. Here comes the first one!

[Her paws splay as her claws bite the ground, the first Kishin egg approaching that sees them as nothing more than morsels with its gluttonous appetite. The Kishin has transformed strangely; oddly curved jowls trying to take the form of a beak and loose tangled of feathers and fur fly over its body as it runs on large claws.]

[The wolf lays low, waiting for it to come closer. It looks awkward on those feet, but its mouth is red so it must know what it's doing. When its close enough, she fakes left and moves right, ramming her side into the kishin on purpose to watch it tumble, its feet flailing as it rolls back up. That appears to have made it angrier. She just snorts]

[Toph and Temeraire] [Morning and Onward] [Closed]

[blindrockstar]

Toph hated Norway. It was cold and...cold. She was barefoot, did she really need a reason other than 'cold' to hate this place? Honestly. She'd bundled up, naturally, but they hadn't invented a way to keep barefooted blind girls from being, well, blind when they put shoes on.

"This sucks," she muttered as she clung to Tem's back. It was faster to ride him while he walked or flew around, looking for an egg.

[feelsgoodinyou]

"As much as always," he answered her nonchalantly, reaching out with his good right arm in a way to show her that she should transform. The spirit was here because he had wanted to see those so-called monsters and souls and if they related to the Dark Magic he knew. Earlier that day he had visited his host's home once more in the search for the warm clothes he wore now and Yako... Well, she had happened somehow. They wouldn't let them through that mirror-gate without a Weapon or Meister respectively. She had been there. Bakura wasn't picky in his choice of means to get what he wanted and apparently, neither was the girl.

Like her he had also felt the Madness Wavelength permeate the air around them like thick fog the moment they had arrived, but unlike her he was taking it in eagerly. The feint pressure and whispers were different than the atmosphere of the Realm of Darkness but it still felt like familiar ground to the tomb robber. It felt a bit like returning home and he bared his fangs in a toothy, sadistic smirk as he kept his eyes trailed on the kishin eggs that were too busy attacking somebody to pay attention to anything else. Apparently they had found themselves a child.

[this_is_keron]

[It should be easy enough to follow. The sound his feet made was pretty distinctive pikopiko sound when he ran.

He saw what she was looking at, and silently weighed the pros and cons in his head. Distance was their friend here because he was a firearm. Still, the more distance there was between them and their target the harder it was to aim. If it were just him shooting with a gun he was sure he could make the shots. But the situation was a bit different here. Even if Giroro could help fine tune her aim, he wasn't used to the way he 'saw' in his Weapon form, so he couldn't expect things to go perfectly.]

Do what you want.

[Which was just his way of telling her to do what she was comfortable with. She was the Meister, after all and he will support her to the best of his ability.]

[itaidakimasu]

Something deep in Yako snarled at the sight of the scared little boy. Her hand flew to take his before she even thought about it, sqeezing firmly before she shifted, leaving her handle nestled in his palm. The Madness Wavelength, coupled with that instinctive urge to protect had an obvious effect on her. She didn't bother to mute her hunger for once, allowing that ravenous, insatiable yearning to flow through the connection between them as soon as it snapped together.

Let's go, she prompted him, determined. He might not have been the Meister she pictured for herself, but he was there and he knew what he was doing. That was enough. They would make this work.

[threefourtime]

Don't worry about me: I would never make such a mistake.

[It was strange the way he 'saw' the world in his Weapon. Strange, but not altogether uncomfortable. It was, in fact, rather interesting. Though speaking of...

He 'hm'ed a little.]

It might be in your best interest to turn around.

[His tone was light and casual. Even if the Kishin Egg behind them was a good distance away, you'd think he would show more care.]

[shendefeng]

He on the other hand was not going to complain despite the apparent cold. They were aloft, hunting for the Kishin eggs that were wrecking havoc for this country. After being briefed, he knew that they should hunt down as many as they could.

They'd done the same to the humans here, it only seemed fair to retaliate in kind.

"I know it does, but we must bear with it, at least until we finish our--"

He cut it short, and with good reason as well: he'd sighted something, and he was closing in on it quickly enough.

"I see a Kishin egg," he stated with an air of anticipation. "A bit more than a quarter of a mile away. Ready, Toph?"

[blindrockstar]

Toph smirked. Finally. "Get me close enough so I can bend up a few boulders, first. Let's bomb the stupid thing and then go kick it's butt." She really wanted to drop boulders on something. They'd be small boulders, but boulders.

[feelsgoodinyou]

The squeeze surprised him, but he didn't show it as he caught the whip from the air. Uncoiling the whips lash into a battle-ready position he stalked forward like a king towards his subjects. He was feeling a faint sense of premonition for the bloodshed and maiming that was going to ensue, ramped up to a pleasant tingling by the hunger he was feeling from her. Ah, how long had he not done this anymore...? It had been centuries.

"In time," his voice purred through their connection as his part of the resonance latched onto hers once more eagerly, wanting everything and then more from the Weapon. "In time."

Not letting her eagerness get the better of him, he approached the kishin egg almost casually, taking his sweet time figuring out how to attack best. It had to come fast, it had to hurt and it had to make it scared of his weapon upon the first hit. The kishin egg that looked like a skinned horse and rider that had been fused together was still way too careless as it dug it's teeth into the little boys arm and tossed him up into the air. The moment both of its heads were distracted Bakura let the whip flick through the air, aiming for its more human face and head.

[Auron and Koujurou][Morning and on][Closed]

[nofarplaneyet]

*Auron hadn't even had to ask Koujurou if he wanted in on the mission. Just a nod was enough of a reply. So they joined the crowd of partnerships to help defend the frozen land of Norway.*

We'll have to be careful. These ones sound more dangerous than anything we've faced before.
