[OPEN] Sandstorm Event + September Introduction Log

Given that the last time there was a sandstorm BREW had just...unceremoniously dumped the new arrivals outside to face the elements, Shibusen decided it would be prudent to send some people out to make sure the poor souls aren't left to flounder.

Outfitting their volunteers with the proper gear, they're allowed back into Death City not only to search for new arrivals but also to check for stragglers.

However, as the volunteers go through the city, they find more than just the expected stragglers and new arrivals. For some reason, there is the occasional Kishin Egg wandering around...

To make things worse, the sandstorm continues to rage, causing poor visibility and covering the streets with a thick layer of sand, making it hard to keep footing. A problem these Kishin Eggs don't seem to have when most of them are capable of diving under the sand to move like sharks.

"Whoops!" Bakura leaped back before they could get smeared against the rough stone like some pesky insect. "Looks like somebody got their role wrong!" Seconds later he had to duck and dodge again in ways that weren't overly graceful but amazingly agile for a scrawny guy like him.

Getting out of the monster's reach, he twirled the Weapon once. 'We've got its eyes and its movements are severely limited. Shall we end this game now?' It'd be better to make quick work and get out of the way before the beast's comrades noticed what happened and started hunting for them as well.

There was a short hesitation as she fluctuated between the idea of running away to fight another day and killing the bastard by ripping it limb from limb. Even if the conditions weren't favorable, the thing was already half dead anyway. 'Let's finish this.' She finally answered resolutely.
feelsgoodinyou: (remember when you tried to kill me twice)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-02 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Something shifted within Bakura's wavelength at those words, an echo like a splash of ink that was tinting the waters and sharp like the sensation of a blade being drawn. Oh, he wanted a good kill every once in a while! All the things he had gotten recently had been so unsatisfying, unsatisfying, unsatisfying...!

'With pleasure.' He waited for the next gust of wind to pick up and hide them from sight before he charged the kishin egg once more.

Nanami was not afraid of this feeling and she allowed the ink to seep in and taint the already cloudy feelings in her soul. Something to fill the void she had been feeling for a long time, something to ignite some sort of passion within her, any sort of passion. Everything recently left her lackluster, listless, lifeless.

The centipede turned looking for its prey in the brown sand-filled wind, it had been slowed by previous attacks and its equilibrium thrown off by the large void of legs on one side of its body. The former prey had become the hunter and had also become much stronger and much faster.

If it was passion she wanted then Bakura had enough. His soul had been burning for a long time, too long for him to remember when it had begun and how he had been before everything that made him him was the never-ending bonfire of rancor that sat where normally a whole plethora of human emotions would be. Bakura wasn't lonely. He also wasn't desperate, and even happiness only existed in relation to how he could inflict what he felt upon others.

It might be a hollow existence, but in a way his tenacious malevolence made him alive, more so than he felt most other people ever were whom he had encountered. Even if it was the sort of life that burned away its very source and left only ashes.

Bakura advanced skillfully, keeping the different attributes of his current human body in mind and how they would translate differently to what he remembered from his times as the feared King of Thieves. He also paid heed to his Weapon and how Nanami's previous attacks had crippled the monster quite nicely - a silent praise sneaked into their connection at that point, a brief well done - as he urged her on to feel more, to enjoy the thrill of the hunt and kill with him as closely as she could.

'Ready?' It would be quick and messy, he decided, as he faked an attack against the monster's head again.

With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Nanami was happy to leach off of his malice. In her desperation, she immersed herself in it like it was something tangible. She emerged cold but focused the fierce part of her started overshadowing the rest of her clumsy personality.

The praise did not go unnoticed; she latched onto that as well letting it push her in a slightly more positive place so as to not lose herself completely although it was still not entirely healthy. It was the spark needed to ignite the fire and she wanted to be praised by her partner more even if it meant violently mauling the monster that thought to attack them.

'Yes!' The monster bought the ploy and was having trouble correcting itself after it dodged.

Bakura replied to her words with a manic laugh as he used the chance to slip beneath the monster and slit its downside open with a long, cleaving cut. Then he started severing it's legs one by one until it could hardly move anymore before he moved in for the final kill.

At the same time the storm was picking up.

Nanami's blade was covered in monster blood and for the time being she was amused by the snapping of each leg likening it to cracking crustaceans at a fancy seafood meal. She was currently oblivious to the worsening storm as her mind was filled with more important things, mainly watching this creature die by their hands. While she wasn't exactly gleeful she was a little bit celebratory as it came to the last strike and she urged him to finish it quickly through their connection. One more soul to add to her tally.

Bakura obeyed her wish and finished their opponent with a big, forceful strike, but then he balked. Slowly stepping away from the kishin egg he kept looking around until he cursed and turned on his heels to jog back to the building he had come from, ignoring the corrupted soul they had just 'won'.

'Tch. No point wasting time here.'
morecowbell: (noo waaaiit)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-09 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
'Ah! Wait, my soul! I need that!' She protested not yet noticing any of the extra company arriving. It was just sitting there, glowing at her, taunting her.
feelsgoodinyou: (fuck off!)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-09 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
'Forget about it!' The command came sharper than planned as he ignored the sting in his leg in favor of fighting more against the wind. Now it was working against them, but at least it'd hopefully blind their followers as well. 'We've got company!'
morecowbell: (wangst)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-09 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
'But...! Nnngg.' If she had been in human form Bakura probably would have had to fight against her as well because she really wanted to go back and just snatch that soul really quickly other enemies be damned but they were already under the entryway of the building where a little bit of the sand and wind were blocked.
feelsgoodinyou: (pain never forgotten)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-09 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
He just growled under his breath and sent her a mental command to keep it in her pants as he hurried further inside, dragging the Weapon that felt increasingly more heavy and unwieldy as their resonance sank past abandoned furniture that had been neatly stacked.

Reaching a door further in the back of the shop he set the scimitar down and started fiddling with it until its lock sprang open and he could push it ajar to let them to an adjourning flight of stairs that led upwards. Slipping inside, Bakura gave Nanami a challenging look, not bothering to try and pick her up again as he slipped the cowl and scarf off his head. Sweat, sand and blood from untraceable sources had turned his usually pristine looks rather messy. "Your choice now. There are at least three others of that kind out there and probably all too eager to get close and comfy with us."

He nodded to the outside where the sandstorm hid any signs of potential hostile life as it howled on. Then his gaze lingered on the small trail of blood that he had left without noticing. Damn, that explained why he felt so off track! "Go get em if you want, but I'm going to do the intelligent thing and sit this damn storm out in a place where I won't get suffocated or eaten."
morecowbell: (paranoid)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-10 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Nanami was irritated but she knew he was right, boy did she hate the fact that he was right. She transformed back to herself when he started pulling off his sand gear and begrudgingly followed behind him while pulling her goggles down around her neck and unwrapping the scarf from her face. She hadn't managed to get off scot free when it came to being filthy; her scarf hadn't managed to keep all the sand out of her hair.

Luckily she had a small brush with her, actually she had a few small items in a small purse she had under her sweatshirt with the basics: chap stick, a couple granola bars, a small hair brush, travel sized hand lotion and some antibacterial soap.

"I don't suppose you're expecting payment for stepping in back there, are you?" She tried clearing her throat because her voice came out hoarse but it didn't really help because her throat was so dry.
feelsgoodinyou: (what's this?)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-10 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Payment?" He gave her an incredulous look as he waited for her to move past him before he shut and locked the door again. Locking their easiest escape route was risky, but so far none of those monsters had shown any skills to get past closed doors and there were more than enough windows up there if they got really desperate. The idea to self-defenestrate again with an injured leg wasn't tempting, but at least the closed door should spare them the prospect of having to deal with any unwanted followers.

"Don't be ridiculous, I can hardly demand the share of spoils we didn't get."
morecowbell: (small blush)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-11 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's rather decent of you," she knew others who would still demand it. At some point she might have been that person or at least she might have expected some sort of favor in return. She headed up the stairs while combing her fingers through her hair trying to shake out all the sand. It didn't matter how many times they resonated, Nanami felt that Bakura would always be quite the conundrum.

As she hit the top of the stairs she glanced around the room that looked like it once may have been a loft apartment but was now mostly used as storage for the cafe below.
feelsgoodinyou: (did they make a bargain offer for poor j)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Decent? Heh~" The laugh was a derisive noise in the back of his throat as he left checking the front to her and acted as a backup. He was a professional after all. "I'm the prestigious king of thieves, not some cut-throat lowlife scoundrel who has to scramble for scraps." Okay, maybe that was laying it on thick but she couldn't know about that, right?

Finding a satisfying amount of nothing he moved after her just to give in to the temptation and place a feathery touch on her shoulder as he brushed past her with the barest limb. "Besides, who says that I'm getting nothing out of this?"
morecowbell: (huh?)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-12 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
There were two things he had just said that bothered her and she'd cover both but in reverse order. "Eh? Then what do you think you could possibly get out of this-- wait," give her a second while she backs the train up, "did you say king of thieves?" She turned a bit as he passed her not taking any special notice of the touch other than that it happened and it was light.
feelsgoodinyou: (two in one)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-12 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
He stopped to give her a look. "That's what I said. Did he not tell you about that yet?" That was somewhat hard to imagine considering how much Atem just loved to refer to him as a thief.

Seconds later a small teasing smile was ghosting over his lips. "And I'd call you still being alive something. Wouldn't you?"
morecowbell: (when did he get taller than me?)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
She just blinked at him. Nanami had been avoiding talking to Atem about Bakura all together not to mention had only been a few days since the three of them had occupied the same room and they hadn't really seen much of each other due to missions. "No."

And again she stared at him blankly for a moment. "Hng.." She had meant to say something there but instead her cheeks flushed pink. "Well, if something hadn't distracted me... you know, I don't always need saving." She pursed her lips looking slightly embarrassed and irritated at the same time.
feelsgoodinyou: (go die in a fire)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-12 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
He smiled. "Of course not."

Moments later he had turned his attention back at the things in the room again as he searched through it quickly. "Fighting in a sandstorm is a harebrained idea to begin with, it's a good sign that you came as far as you did." Some more shuffling happened before he pulled out a chair and let himself fall into it with a little grunt.

"Damn, look at my leg... That's what I get for trying to do stuff like that in such a fucked up weather." Making a face he started to pick on fabric that was blotched with blood at one side.
morecowbell: (tea time)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-12 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
She puffed out her cheeks a little when he focused on other things, it wasn't fair that she couldn't kill that thing on her own. If it hadn't been such a hopeless cause she wouldn't have had to make a break for it. It wasn't like the thing gave her the choice to not fight it though. What was it even doing there in the first place?

It took him pointing it out for her to notice the blood. She kneeled down in front of him, "here, pull up your pant leg." Nanami unzipped her sweatshirt and took it off setting it aside so she could remove her small purse which she promptly started shuffling through pulling out the antibacterial soap and lotion. She then produced a few packs of moist towelettes from her pocket. Nanami was thinking about buying bulk in a whole new light now and she was pretty satisfied that she had done so with these because really, at first she thought it was kind of crazy but now she understood why commoners did it. Convenience.
feelsgoodinyou: (fancy words for somebody who cheats)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-14 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Bakura's expression switched rapidly between surprised and grudging acknowledgment at her words as he sat back and did as he was told. Of course he then used the chance to poke at the new gash that was adorning the side of his lower leg so that some more fresh blood spilled over the one that was already caked with sand.

"What are you now, my loving nurse?" He smirked but both his eyes and voice said that he was distracted. Examining his wound with his hands, he sighed. "Good, it's just a long scratch. Just use the alcohol of that bottle over there and-" Spying her towelettes, Bakura grimaced. "Okay, that works too. Just do me a favor and remove the rest of your clothes as well so that I'm distracted while you're mutilating my leg."

[personal profile] morecowbell 2013-10-14 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Stop, that's gross," she swatted at his hand while trying to take a closer look through the now oozing blood. Nanami heard him out before tearing open a towel and without a word she slapped it onto his wound somewhat haphazardly... on purpose. Just enough to sting a little bit.

The young blond smiled up at him sweetly, "can't a girl help take care of her temporary Meister?" She wanted to enjoy her quip but she couldn't help notice that the cut looked like one from a bladed weapon and not a giant monster centipede.
feelsgoodinyou: (pretty boy act lv. 10)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2013-10-14 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey~" He laughed a little pretending to wince from the sting, all the nice guy who's a bit lewd but not really that bad. He continued the charade with a thoughtful look. "Does that include more stripping? Because you'd make for a real good naughty nurse- Ow!"
