[Event Log] Mission #202 - San José

Characters: OPEN to those who signed up for the mission here, assigned to San José
Location: San José, Costa Rica
Rating: Varies
Time: May 29th
Description: It's an evacuation! Get people out of there and keep the kishin eggs off of them!

They arrive to sirens, frantic car horns, and shouting voices. The local police are frantically trying to maintain some sort of order: Between soul-eating monsters, panicked people and worse - people who step forward and swear they can take them on - they have their hands full. They're awfully glad to see you, and are happy to point you in the direction of where they'd last seen monsters.

But there's no need to be pointed, they're everywhere, both old and new as they're attracted by the fear and the promise of a feast of souls. Combined with spiking madness making them inconsolable and the shadows passing overhead - witches here to catch a damn good show and 'help things along' - the people here are in dire straits.

It's your turn, agents! Get the civilians out of there, and give the kishin eggs hell, but don't let a witch spot you!

"Double time! Move your asses!"

Kanji Tatsumi, ever so sensitive. But barking orders was what got people moving, especially when there were monsters about. Though there was a language barrier, the civilians didn't even need to be told twice, especially as he gestured them through the foyer of the third hotel they'd begun clearing out today. When you had kishin eggs climbing on walls and smashing windows to feast on the people inside, a full-city lockdown sure as hell wasn't working.

Fortunately, they hadn't seen any of the monsters in the first two buildings... whether it'd stay that way was debatable.

"Gonna need blade form for this again." He was starting to get used to using the gunblade's first form, but lately he'd been wanting to test something out in close quarters. What better time than now? And blowing holes in the walls wasn't going to help if there were any of the immature demons in the building as he made his way inside.

"Sure as hell hope people'll be more cooperative here than the last one..." He wasn't much in a mood to bodily lug another enraged, screaming person.

Whatever he had been expected, whatever bit of experience had been gained from the last mission he went on with John, the mass chaos and the Madness hitting him almost hard enough to cause a minor lapse in focus sure as fuck wasn't it. His hands clenched tight to his two weapons handles, so fucking glad they took care of the minor issues during training this morning and were told to transform before they went through the mirror. There was no fucking way he'd be able to handle them arguing over stupid shit right now.

It felt like his emotions were out of control, like he was about to burst, but he had to grit his teeth and try not to let it consume him. Fuck, he'd just got here and already this shit was trying to kick his ass. But there was no time to panic, no time to wonder if they were ready for this. Because there was disaster and fear everywhere, and they had to help. He wasn't going to just stand around like an asshole by the mirror entrance, there were others behind them who could take care of the kishin close by. No, he took off running to where the most commotion seemed to be, where they would be needed most.

"You guys ready for this?"

"All right, kid, hope you're ready," Auron said to the Weapon at his side.

Shibusen hadn't been kidding about this place really having a problem. Judging by the screams, kishin eggs were everywhere.

[Due to the high levels of Madness, Eve had Keroro transform even before they left.

Once they were there, Eve focused more on taking out the Kishin Eggs. It was difficult, even here, to get panicking civilians to listen to a little girl even if the police were willing to trust her with this.]

Mello stepped through the mirror with Near, already changed to his Rubik's cube form, in hand; he'd even already solved four of the cube's sides, expecting the chaos that would result from a city being mid-evacuation.

He wasn't prepared for this, though. Arriving Shibusen agents were getting mobbed by people wanting help, and he was no exception, a young man seeming to appear out of nowhere to clutch his arm and rattle off a breathless story about monsters, and they were right down that street, and his sister was missing, come on!

Mello shook him off. "Over there," he snapped, pointing to the evacuation route, which was nicer than the guy deserved. He couldn't even estimate how many kishin eggs were between them and the street the guy had pointed out. As if that wasn't bad enough, the madness was already beating a steady pulse against Mello's mind, the sound of flames coming with it as always, and he couldn't be certain they weren't real. He gritted his teeth mentally and physically, reached for Near's mind, and stepped into the battle.

About a dozen, trying to get into that building, see them? Hit them hard.

[Seriously, there IS such a place, and Edgeworth and Genesis are in it. People were everywhere - panicking, trying to watch the action and at the same time searching for a safe vantage point, or summoning up their reckless bravado to try and fight alongside Shibusen's agents.

Today, Edgeworth's Meister ability was best directed toward the masses of innocent people who were just fast food to the kishin eggs roaming about. And once again, the prosecutor's linguistic skills came into play during a mission as he yelled in Spanish, drawing power from within himself and the Rapier - Genesis - in his hand.]

Leave immediately! Evacuation is this way! [And instead of pointing with his index finger, he would point with the broadsword. And when a man stayed behind to snap a photo of the carnage, Edgeworth rounded on him and barked a full Soul Talk-infused order in Spanish into the person's face.] Do you have a death wish?! I said, leave! [The man yelped like a little girl and ran off to join the others, narrowly managing to avoid dropping his camera.]

[But obviously the kishin were not going to wait until all the civilians were sufficiently out of the way to direct their attention toward Edgeworth and Genesis. Edgeworth had no choice but to promptly turn toward the kishin eggs already stalking them, holding the broadsword out and meeting their challenge.]

Well, this was certainly something to see. Judai didn't know what he had been expecting, but it definitely wasn't this much chaos. For a moment, all that filled his eyes was the sight of entire villages thrown into disarray, people dying by his hands, but then he shook the image off (by literally shaking his own body) and tightened his grip on Johan's haft.

"This is insane."

He didn't waste any time, though, before stepping in to protect some people just trying to get away from one of the monsters. "Hurry up, I've got this." He didn't spare them another glance as he swung Johan, hoping mostly to keep things at bay long enough for people to get to safety.

It was gonna be a long day, wasn't it?

To be perfectly honest, Yako hadn't chosen the Japanese-styled park to defend. She hadn't even known Costa Rica even had a park like that, but it only served to deepen her aggressively protective feelings. Sasha's influence kept her more or less free of the Madness Wavelength, or at least free enough to be semi-rational.

This wasn't their first mission together, but it was their first as an official partnership, and for all that they both thought nothing much would change, Yako wanted to make sure Sasha knew he could depend on her, even more than she usually did. Her soul pulsed out a warning when she noticed a change in the screams echoing around their deceptively tranquilly-designed surroundings.

"I think one of them is headed our way, Sasha."

Getting into the hotels where kishin eggs had started to gather was like swimming upstream due to the flood of people trying to escape. He held Holiday in one hand at his side as he tried to get through the masses. There weren't enough places for him to climb along to get directly to the eggs.

He rolled his eyes at one official shouting for people to leave in a neat and orderly fashion. Kishin eggs running around, witches flying overhead, and these people expected evacuees to do so orderly?

This is insane...

[Pausing in her steps to look back at Atem, Cupid frowned and looked up at the street sign, making sure they were on the right path to the area they'd been told needed their help. Not too far off, a kishin's screech could be heard, and she tensed, looking over at Atem nervously.]

...maybe I should transform... just in case, yeah?
