EVENT: Retake the City

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.

[...stunned? well, not like he's going to complain about what happened here! he grins at that, nodding with enthusiasm and he takes aim once more.]

Watch this!

[and he lets go...! it hit yet again!]

Heh, that's what I'm talking about!

[ It would be hard to not sense the feeling of approval that's coming from Masako right now - she's practically radiating it. ]

You actually got one, Heisuke. [ Even though she doesn't say "I'm impressed", the feeling somewhat adds the words for her without her having to actually say it. ]

Although I suppose it's only expected of a captain of the Shinsengumi.

[heh!! he grins at that, so so proud!]

Well, what'dya expect? Too easy!
huntressing: (come down through the air)

[personal profile] huntressing 2013-10-07 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
This is just our first one though. I bet a lot more of them are out there, they're just hiding in the sand. Make sure to keep an eye out for them as you go around here.

...You're no fun at all.

[but he knew that already, either way!]

Still, did you do something to the egg, it seemed stunned for a sec.

[ SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT FUN IS, HEISUKE.. you're the one who's supposed to teach her that stuff! Although she would say she doesn't need to know. ]

I thought something was odd as well, but.. usually my gun didn't have that kind of effect back home. It's rather strange, but I suppose it's another one of this place's side effects.

Hm.... I wonder.... did I get some kinda special ability too?

[as he ponders this to himself he's distracted for a moment, another kishin egg coming up from under the sand, approaching them both. it takes him a moment but he can feel its presence, he quickly turns and sees it.]

Shit-!
huntressing: (so boys come back to me)

[personal profile] huntressing 2013-10-13 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .. Shit indeed.

She can see it from the distance, from just how fast the Kishin egg is moving. Heisuke is not going to be able to shoot in time, not with how he's not even experienced with a weapon like a gun yet. So in a split second decision she can't even put much thought in, Masako transforms back to her normal self in a blink, and since she's still holding his hand like that she can easily pull him out of the way of the Kishin egg's attack - it speeds right past where Heisuke was standing only a moment ago.

Although the pulling away plan didn't do too well either - it made Masako fall into the sand to the side and since she was holding Heisuke's hand, it ended up pulling him along so he's practically on top of her now. ]

[he wasn't expecting that, not at all.

he was going to attempt to move out of the way on his own, but it seemed like she had started to react sooner than him, changing and even pulling him. it was like a big confusing mess, but before he knew it he was on top of her, grunting a little at the new position he was in. there was a moment where he stared down at her, but he soon realized that she saved him, and like hell he could just let her keep doing things like that. he was the meister and the guy here, he had a duty to protect her at all costs.]


Masako, move!

[it was him who stood up, seeing the kishin egg coming back yet again and he pulled her up with him, pushing her aside as soon as they were out of the way. he moved to dodge as well, rolling to the side and it was then that he realized they were both at a distance here from each other.]

Tch... not good! [they had to get back to one another!]
huntressing: (boys come back to your senses)

[personal profile] huntressing 2013-10-14 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She can barely even process what's happening. One moment she's lying there, slightly dizzy, and the next she's being pulled up to her feet, away - and then Heisuke is suddenly gone. By the time she regains her composture she can see he's actually quite a distance away from her, and with that Kishin egg still here..

Fine, only one solution then, huh? She takes in a deep breath. ]


Heisuke, if you don't catch me now, I'll make sure to crush you later!

[ No way she's going to pull off this effort just for it to miss. But Masako jumps up in the air, in his direction too - and then changes into her Weapon form mid-jump, the change in weight giving her enough leverage to fly his way as the gun. ]

Crush.... ah!

[he has no time to even argue with her words, as soon as he sees her flying through the air, in her weapon form, he runs towards her, reaching out and he catches her! he turns towards the kishin egg, taking aim yet again and he pulls back the slingshot, letting go another ball and this time it's a direct hit!]

Perfect!

[ At least he did do a good job of catching her, she does have to admit that. When he hits another one of those eggs, she can't help but wonder how many there just are though - it's hard to tell with all this sand around. But she tries to calm down and focus, and it's then that she can almost feel it. Aside from just feeling his soul, his feelings, whether he's hurt or not, she's a little more aware of their surroundings too like this.

... ]


I can't sense another one.. I think. [ She's not entirely sure, after all, it's all still new for her. ]

[personal profile] statures 2013-10-19 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.. wow.

[heisuke sighs, feeling a little more relaxed now at least. he looks down at the 'gun' in his hand, smiling.]

You did a good job too, Masako.
huntressing: (with one motion drops the curtain of war)

[personal profile] huntressing 2013-10-20 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .. Huh? What's.. that feeling? Happiness, relief..?

It's a little strange, since she's so unused to it, and it's why she decides to slowly change back into her usual form, letting go of his hand so she at least doesn't have to constantly feel what he's feeling. Still, she can see the smile on his face so clearly and it reminds her so much of the feeling from just now.

For a moment all she can do is stare at him. ]


.. I didn't do much. I'm just the Weapon, after all. Whatever you think transpired, it's all thanks to yourself and your own skills.

[personal profile] statures 2013-10-21 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hey hey don't think like that! Even if you're the weapon, without you I wouldn't even have any way of fighting them! You're a real lifesaver you know that?

[he laughed, grinning widely at her.]
huntressing: (ride the limited express train)

[personal profile] huntressing 2013-10-24 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well.. you could have gotten a more convenient Weapon that you would be actually used to, so in that sense your partner being me would only be more of a burden.. [ They're partners either way since she practically forced him to, right? In a moment of surprise - and therefore weakness - she can admit that much, it just slips right out of her mouth. ]

Even so, you are that happy?
statures: (∆ 05)

[personal profile] statures 2013-10-26 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... a sword woulda been better, but hey you're great too.

[it's all true.]

Why wouldn't I be happy? We took down our first set of enemies as partners!
huntressing: (with one motion drops the curtain of war)

[personal profile] huntressing 2013-10-26 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "We took down our first set of enemies as partners"..

Is it really something that special? Sure, they're partners, but it's just since she needs someone capable to fight with, he was the most convenient option around, but.. when he puts it like that, he makes it sound so special. As partners.

To Masako, who's ever only been close to her family, it's a very new and strange occurence to hear those words. ]


.. I see. So such a thing makes you.. happy. [ Someone being happy just to do something together with her..

Could that really be something she reached, somehow..?

Yeah, Masako is totally acting strangely here compared to how she usually acts. ]
statures: (∆ 69)

[personal profile] statures 2013-10-29 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it does! Aren't you happy about it too?

[yesyes she needs to be excited too!!]
huntressing: (just do everything as you please)

[personal profile] huntressing 2013-10-31 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT EXCITEMENT IS.. probably.. ]

Not really.. well, I mean, I didn't see why it was supposed to be so special. Of course we would have taken it down together, that is why we are partners.
