EVENT: Retake the City

[soul_mods]

Characters: Every who signed up to retake the city
Location: Death City
Rating: PG
Time: July 4th
Description: There are Kishin eggs in the city. Like, everywhere. They've pretty much taken over and we can't have that, now can we?



Early in the morning, the sandstorm finally began to fade. By noon, it was gone completely, leaving behind far too much sand for comfort. The city is not in the best shape, having taken damage from the elements as well as the Kishin Eggs that are crawling all over the place, who seem to have made this place a new home.

They could move under the sand (and were quite fast when they did) and the fact that apart from their mouth the rest of their orifices was quite small it's clear that they were built to move like that. There's also the pesky fact that the city has buildings and alley ways they can hide in. The fact that Death City is layered like a cake is also a problem as it creates a lot of place for an enemy to jump down and ambush unsuspecting victims.

Of course, it's easy enough to repay in kind.

Either way, the familiar streets of Death City is now a battleground and the objective? Take back the city.

[peacocked]

[he definitely doesn't seemed bothered whenever takuto brushes the stray hairs out of his face. in fact he kind of keeps slumbering on peacefully. this is a side he only shows his closest friends, those who matter the most to him. those he'd give his life up for.

when he finally comes to he sits up slowly and rubs his eyes.] .....Takuto?

[tauborn]

[And he puts the book down pretty quickly because it was kind of boring, and Sugata being awake is much more interesting.]

Still here, sleepyhead.

[He's going to be kind for about ten more seconds before he turns to teasing, so enjoy it while you can.]

[peacocked]

Did I just.... [oh god this is mortifying. he can't even bring himself to finish his sentence.]

[tauborn]

[Takuto nods.]

You don't even remember going through the door, do you.

[peacocked]

[he shakes his head.]

I don't even remember making it to the complex.

[tauborn]

Then you don't remember that you owe me a hundred deathdollars, either.

[Obviously.]

[peacocked]

[really. s i g h s.]

I'm sure I would have remembered that conversation.

[tauborn]

Then maybe you'd better look in the mirror.

[All he'll see is a crease on his face from Takuto's pants, but he's hoping Sugata thinks he drew on him.]

[peacocked]

[he touches his face. if you drew on his face there will be words, takuto. and of course he checks the mirror.]

Oh.... real funny.

[tauborn]

[He giggles a little. Sugata probably would have woken up from the feel of the pen, of course. And then Takuto would have been in trouble. But no, Sugata is perfectly fine.]

You seemed to sleep pretty well.

[peacocked]

[he nods his head.] I got a decent nap in. I'm not sure which day has been the most exhausting. Because it feels like they've both been equally. How did you fair today?

[tauborn]

[He sighs and slumps a little on the couch, letting his head roll back as he stares at the ceiling.]

I made it through everything alright. Ryou's in the hospital, though.

[peacocked]

He... what happened? Is he alright?

[tauborn]

[He lifts his head up with a shrug.] He'll be alright, but I'm not really sure what happened. He got it pretty bad from a Kishin egg while trying to protect Mizuno, but something else must have been going on if he wasn't in his weapon form.

[He shakes his head and sighs. He doesn't have to tell Sugata about what's likely to be the cause of a weapon not being in weapon form.]

[peacocked]

[he can definitely name a few. one he knows from experience. but when he mentions mizuno his mouth drops.] Is she alright?

[he knew the other girl didn't have much training to rely off of. so he can only imagine how things might have went.]

[tauborn]

She's fine. Only Ryou was hurt. [Did you really think Takuto would let anything hurt Mizuno? He failed to protect her at Southern Cross Island, so he might always be looking for ways to make it up to her here.]

[peacocked]

Oh that's.... that's good. [good, cause the southern cross islanders need to stick together!!!] It's unfortunate to hear about Ryou though. But thankfully you got to him before anything worse could happen.

[tauborn]

[He sighs.] I just wish I knew what he'd been thinking. [And then he shakes his head and peers at Sugata with something like a smile.] I guess I'll find out later, and there's no use worrying right now.

I was pretty surprised to see your cat, though. I guess he and Firecracker got bored staying indoors?

[peacocked]

I'm sure he'll tell you about it later, as soon as he feels better that is.

[pointed look at jasper.] Yes he.... got the slip on me when I opened the door to the hall to give Firecracker his daily walk. He ran, so of course Firecracker had to run after him too. Thank you for finding him. I don't think I would have been able to make it back for him after how long it took me to find Firecracker.

[tauborn]

[He grins.]

Don't worry about it. I'm glad you went to look for my dog after I ended up pushing him onto you during the storm. He seems no worse for wear.

[He nudges the dog with his toe, and Firecracker rolls over in his sleep, huffing contentedly as he snuggled back up to the carpet.]

[peacocked]

What was I going to do Takuto, leave him to survive in the hall? [he shakes his head.] I would never. Besides, now you owe me a favor.

[tauborn]

[Takuto laughs.] I just carried you home and let you sleep on me! I think we're even in terms of favors.

[peacocked]

[he chuckles a little as he leans forward.] I suppose you are. [a beat.] Thank you.

[tauborn]

[He waves his hand.] It's nothing, really. You'd do the same for me.

[peacocked]

[he nods his head.] It's what friends are for.
