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.

Comments

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Anger rushed through Akiha again. She gave Sion a clear chance to apologize and she's not taking it. So be it then. The pile was there and the meister raised her hand with the staff in it, preparing to throw.

And then she suddenly ducked, her combat senses picking up the attack from the kishin egg she'd left when her and Sion started arguing. The creature sailed over her and its landing caused the pile of poo to scatter. Akiha barely managing to get her arms (and the staff in hand) up to shield her face from it.

Both of them now with that stuff on them, Akiha growled and threw the staff at the egg. The force of the impact stunned the kishin egg and then Akiha was on it. Grabbing the staff, she hit the egg in the head over and over and over again, yelling at it over how long it was going to take to clean all that off them.

...she was still hitting it well after it had died and the soul rose from it.]

[computations]

It is dead, Akiha!

[As if that needed to be repeated. Instead, she was just getting tired of the dull noise of the staff hitting and being coated in more and more blood.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Apparently it did since Akiha didn't even recognize it was dead until Sion said something. Finally ceasing to beat the remains, she grabbed the soul and threw it against the nearby wall.

...at least it just bounced off it and continued to float there.

The meister picked herself off and sat down with her back against the wall a bit away from the mess and cradled the staff in the crook of her arm, letting it rest against her shoulder. Eyes closed, she tried to calm down.]

[computations]

Having outbursts like that is dangerous, Akiha.

[Said once she is a bit more settled. But the danger there is pretty obvious.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

I was angry.

[computations]

There is still a level of caution both of us need to exercise.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Which means you should know better than to incite me in the middle of battle.

[So not taking the blame for this.]

[computations]

Amazingly, people can control their own tempers. It is quite a novelty to hear, I know.

[ritsu_kouyou]

And some people should be smart enough not to push big red buttons in the middle of a dangerous situation. Then again, I guess intelligence and common sense don't always coexist.

[computations]

[She would love to make a smart comment here but their resonance is getting very, very shaky. Enough so that mental static is becoming the predominant noise at the moment.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha lets go of the staff, leaving it simply resting against her shoulder. Head leaning back against the wall, she closed her eyes and took slow, deep breaths.

They both needed to calm down, but if Sion was expecting an apology, she was dreaming.]

[computations]

[If Akiha was expecting one too, she was absolutely dreaming also.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[No one was going to get an apology, but after calming down some, Akiha got to her feet and took Sion with her. She walked over to the restaurant's mop sink. Turning on the water, she used the hose to spray the staff down before setting it against a wall so she could fill a bucket and at least try to get some of the mess off of herself.]

[computations]

[They were just going to have to get over it, in time. Either way, Sion appreciated being cleaned off so she wouldn't have to transform and be gross.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[At least Akiha's hair had been pulled back, so there wasn't as much in it as there could have been. It was still disgusting and she spent the next fifteen minutes with a towel and water, washing as much off as she could. By the time she was done, she at least had her skin and hair taken care of, with her shirt as clean as she could get it. Unfortunately, that left a lot of wet semi-see-through spots on her white blouse, but it wasn't like she had anything for anyone to see.]

I'm going to have to throw these pants out.

[computations]

You were hopefully expecting that. It is impossible to go through missions like these without some kind of secondary source of filth.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Why do you think I ceased wearing my good skirts on missions? [She sighed.] Usually I can get my clothes clean enough to wear on a few more missions, but I'm not even going to try to salvage these pants.

[computations]

Thankfully for you, thrift stores exist.
