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.

It was an odd sensation, feeling a part of herself stabbing into something, but it was so much better and substantial here than it had been with the toadstools. Asuka's joy redoubled at the feeling and she was so distracted by it that she didn't notice the Kishin egg that was using their attack as a means to come up behind them until it was almost upon them.

'...SHIT! Chika, duck! Quick!'

Well, hopefully that would be enough warning...
scatterflower: (annoyed)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-10-05 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Chika definitely didn't need to be told twice. As soon as she heard the word 'duck' from Asuka, Chika was ducking. And it was wasn't a second too soon, as claws were stabbing right where her back used to be.

Chika spun around and slashed Asuka at the creature this time, hoping that she'd be able to hit it without having seeing it. She wasn't too optimistic about their chances of that happening though. At least not enough to do serious damage to the thing anyway.
kimochi_warui: (trying to find anything you can feel)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-10-16 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Asuka cursed as she realized that the wild stab had only managed to hamstring the thing. Sure, it would down it for a few seconds, but it wasn't going to stay down for long with such a superficial wound. Her mind raced quickly through their options, because she wasn't exactly a weapon that was meant for close quarter combat or even quick combat.

'Move back as far as you can. Get some distance, quick, before it comes at us again.'

It was the best option, of course. Because it would take that long for Chika to bring Asuka around to a striking position again anyway. And it would be better if they could strike something fatal this time.
scatterflower: (determined)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-10-16 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Chika nodded, still facing the creature as she moved back, pulling Asuka back up into a guarding position. She wasn't stupid, and though she wasn't trained for combat like Asuka was, she could tell that they had barely done anything to this creature.

Still, there was only so much backing away that she could do. Hopefully she would've moved far enough away for them to be safe and able to counter whatever it was the kishin was planning on doing next.
kimochi_warui: (the screams all sound the same)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-10-20 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
'Slash at its midsection,' Asuka instructed, trying to maintain a calm tone. It wasn't like this was a very BAD situation, it was just that she'd usually like to have a little more control at a time like this.

'And if it rushes you, just stab and dodge!'

Which was probably a good word of advice, because moments later the Kishin egg was rushing towards Chika at full speed.
scatterflower: (annoyed)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-10-21 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds good to me!" Chika shouted, stabbing instead of doing the slashing and moving to make damn sure that she wasn't where she was before. So that there wasn't anything there for the stupid soul eating asshole monster to hit.

Hopefully Asuka would go through it in the way that usually left these things dead. But if not she was going to pull her partner back out and moved to slash at the thing against. Or stab it. Or stab it and then cut off it's head. Or anything that would result in dead monster.
kimochi_warui: (i would just stand and stare)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-10-25 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Fortunately, Asuka slid home this time with a solid noise. She could tell that she had gone in at a vital spot almost immediately, and the delight of that realization rang through the resonance.

'Perfect! You hit it dead-on. What a lucky break, huh?'
scatterflower: (okay I really have no idea what you're t)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-10-26 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Chika sighed in relief, pulling Asuka out of the creature as it disintegrated into it's soul. "Hey. That was a little too close for comfort..." she mumbled out, looking around and clutching her friend just a little tighter.

They, well, there were still more of the Kishin eggs to take care of, and Chika's eyes were darting around the area furiously just to see if she could find any of them.
kimochi_warui: (what would you think of me now)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-10-29 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
'Just a little?' There was a hint of sarcasm in Asuka's tone. She really wished they hadn't gotten into such a close scrape. Of course, that made her all the more vigilant, even if she was silently berating herself.

'Seven-o-clock, there's another one. It doesn't look like it's spotted us yet though.' That's right, Asuka wouldn't let anything get the jump on them again.
scatterflower: (depressed)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-10-29 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm trying not to freak out here, Asuka," she said, taking a few more deep breaths as she looked around. "God... I don't think I've had such a close call since my brother and I tried to fight a witch."

She nodded when she heard Asuka's comment, turning to face in that direction to see if she could see the creature. And sure enough, there it was.

Now all she needed to do was get closer to it, and keep it from noticing them. So that's what she was doing, inching towards the creature as she readied herself to stab Asuka at it.
kimochi_warui: (row row fight the power)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-10-30 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That was something that caught Asuka a little off-guard. 'Your brother...?'

But she really didn't have time to pursue the subject at all, seeing as they were right in the middle of a fight and busy sneaking up on another Kishin egg. It didn't seem to notice them creeping closer until the very last moment, when it turned to find a surprise waiting for it.

'Ha! Too late!' TRIUMPH.
scatterflower: (hey)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-10-31 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Chika smiled as Asuka went through the kishin egg, the creature bursting apart into that soul after a few moments. "Yeah. My brother was here a while back. BREW sent him back home though. But now's not really the time to talk about this."

Chika turned her head, looking around. So far she didn't see any more Kishin eggs where they were, but that didn't mean that they were all gone. She doubted that they were all gone, actually. "You see any more of them nearby?"
kimochi_warui: (i wanna take you to a gay bar)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-11-05 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Asuka made a quick mental note to ask Chika about her brother more later. Obviously, it was something important to Chika and, well, Asuka was smart enough to know that getting to know the person she was teaming up with would probably be a very good idea.

At Chika's question, she widened her search, looking all around them carefully. 'I don't see anything right now, but that doesn't mean anything...' In that moment, something caught her attention and she focused on it intently.

'There's something moving under the sand, a little behind us... I can't tell what it is though.' Probably nothing good.
scatterflower: (determined)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-11-06 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And Chika would be happy to tell Asuka more about him! Especially if it meant that she got to complain about how he acted back home and stuff.

It was something that little sisters were supposed to do, after all.

But right now focusing on the mission was definitely more important. Especially with all of the monsters swarming around them.

"That's not good," she mumbled out, turning around as she tightened her grip around Asuka. "Can you tell how far down below the sand it is?"
kimochi_warui: (i know we can't forget the past)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-11-06 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Asuka was concentrating everything she could on the presence under the sand. At the same time, she was running some quick calculations in her head.

'It seems to be only a couple of feet down. Maybe coming closer to the surface. I think it's heading towards us now.'

As if on cue, the lump of moving sand made itself perfectly visible to the naked eye, growing large as it moved...
scatterflower: (okay I really have no idea what you're t)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-11-07 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Chika clenched Asuka a little tighter, fighting off the urge to stab her partner into the sand right then and there. Because while it was probably a Kishin egg, Chika knew that there was still a chance that it was something else.

Something that the two of them might not want to stab. Though once it breaks free, if it does turn out to be a Kishin egg, Asuka's going right through the things throat.
kimochi_warui: (i wanna take you to a gay bar)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-11-09 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And of course, it chose that moment to break free, only a dozen feet in front of them, and it was, in fact, something that they really did want to get rid of. 'The damn things are so stupidly cunning! Ugh!'

Asuka was obviously not pleased with the fact that the Kishin eggs could sneak up on them underground here. But at the very least it had decided to come out while it was still some distance away, and it was heading towards them very determinedly.
scatterflower: (determined)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-11-10 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Chika's eyes narrowed as the kishin egg charged towards them, her grip on Asuka staying jut as tight as it was before as she waited for the creature to come within striking distance.

But once it was there, she wasted no time in stabbing at the creatures head with the pointy tip of her partner. Hopefully the attack would be enough to take it out with one strike. But if not, Chika was already moving to pull her out and stab with her again.
kimochi_warui: (waking up at the start of the end of the)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-11-16 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Fortunately, the attack hit home easily and the Kishin egg went down without much of a fight. Unfortunately, there was another one popping out of the sand right behind it a moment later. Whoops!

'Seriously?? I think this one was hiding the second one!'
scatterflower: (annoyed)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-11-17 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh come on! What the hell, things weren't supposed to go like this. "These things are really starting to piss me off!" Chika shouted as she moved to stab Asuka at the new one again. She had been slightly confused by the second one, and didn't manage to strike it when she had planned on attacking the first one again if it hadn't died.

"Try to see if there are any more of them under this one too!"
kimochi_warui: (i wanna take you to a gay bar)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-11-20 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Asuka was already searching as Chika spoke, wanting to make sure they didn't get caught off guard yet again. She could feel herself being stabbed through the second Kishin egg, but she paid it no mind while she looked.

'Nothing nearby. I think this guy's as good as dead too. Good job, Chika.'
scatterflower: (that was really tough)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-11-20 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Chika let out a sigh of relief, pulling Asuka out of the Kishin egg... and then stabbing the girl through it one more time. Just to be sure.

"That's good. Let's... keep searching," she said, taking a few deep breaths. It might need to wait a little bit, until after she recovered a bit, but hey. It's not like it'd be that much of a problem. Other than being a little winded she was still ready to go.
kimochi_warui: (what's done is done it feels so bad)

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-11-21 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
'Of course, I'm not about to stop looking for these bastards.'

And that was exactly what she was doing. Most of her attention was directed outward. There had been enough close calls today already, and she did not want to encounter any more. It would be better for the both of them if she just focused on the task at hand.
scatterflower: (okay I really have no idea what you're t)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2013-11-21 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Chika gave Asuka a small smile, looking around herself as she finally caught her breath, not having to worry about breathing much harder than normal anymore.

But so far, she wasn't seeing anything. She didn't dare ask Asuka if she saw anything, because she knew that the other girl would let her know as soon as she saw something. But... not seeing something yet was really, really unnerving.

[personal profile] kimochi_warui 2013-11-22 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Asuka was making sure to keep a close eye all around them, especially in areas where Chika couldn't look herself. But she wasn't really seeing anything.

'I think this area's pretty clear.'

Just as she spoke those words, she glimpsed something skulking by behind a building. She pointed it out to Chika. 'Well, maybe not as clear as I thought...'
