Characters: The Watch & OPEN to everyone
Location: Death City
Time: May 10th-13th
Rating: PG-13 for now
Warnings: Potential violence
Summary: The city is in chaos and the Watch is trying to do their job, but it's a little more than they can handle on their own.


The civilians have taken to the streets in a formal march of protest, holding signs both insulting and critical; some simply vulgar while others call for action- for change. They come from everywhere and don't stop until they reach Shibusen's stairs to rally with a growing mob of protesters. Shibusen agents gifted with Calming Wavelength stand by to allow attempts at mediation, but while they aren't violent, the protesters remain unyielding in their convictions.

In other parts of the city, trouble-makers work tirelessly to disrupt or sabotage businesses, paint graffiti over any untouched wall of known guest establishments, and harass the unusual-looking passerby. Don't go out alone, or you might find yourself cornered by these troublemakers with unpredictable temperaments.

The Watch is on the move in every district, working to protect its citizens and try their hand at peacemaking, but they're stretched pretty thin...

What are you talking about, it was totally the right idea. Except not really, but it was really too late now.

Chika sighed as they moved in closer, sinking into a fighting stance as she saw them come closer, wooden sword ready to defend herself. There was no way she was going to throw the first punch though, if they really wanted a fight, they were going to have to start it themselves.

Aqua, likewise, settled into her usual fighting stance, with her transformed arm held out to the side. "They don't look like fighters, but don't let your guard down." It never hurt to be careful after all.

It wouldn't be long until the first attacks come from two men at the front. The one who had been speaking went after Chika.

Don't worry Aqua, Chika had no intention of letting her guard down. Of course, she had a bit of a problem with saying that, because one of them came charging towards her.

Chika dodged to the side, moving to hit him in the side with her wooden sword and wait for another attack.

/sob. Fight logs are so hard to write. ;A;

Aqua was just going to have to trust Chika on that as she had her own attacker to contend with. It was as she said, they were untrained. It was easy enough to move out of the way of his attempt to hit her and retaliate.

The man Chika hit cursed, and grabbed his side for a moment before charging again, swinging his fist forward in an attempt to punch Chika in the face. It wasn't enough to take him down, but the hit left his side feeling tender.

If this had been when Chika had first showed up in Death City, she would've probably been scared and stay staring at the man, an easy target for his first.

But she had been here for almost half a year now, training constantly the entire time. This guy didn't stand a chance, not now.

Chika ducked under his punch, striking her sword into his stomach before pulling back and moving to slip behind him and follow up with another strike to his back. Hopefully he wouldn't be able to bother them much more while they moved to finish this fight quickly.
