EVENT: Witch Attack on the City!

[soul_mods]

Characters: Everyone and anyone
Location: Anywhere in Death City!
Rating: PG-13
Time: August 23
Description: There's a Witch attack on the city and, to make matters worse, there's a dangerous individuals while Meister powers go completely out of control



The evening before there had been a PSA going around the network and the radio to watch out for an individual causing trouble in the city and a reminder to please stay indoors if possible.

Then around midnight something distinctly...strange happens. At first, Weapons probably won't notice, because it's only Meisters who suddenly find their powers flaring up for no apparent reason even when they're not trying to use them.

There's a two hour window where the abilities become stronger until it's practically impossible to control before the alarms in the city sound.

Kishin Eggs have been spotted entering the city in droves and this time they haven't come alone...

Amaterasu noticed, troubled. They wouldn't be able to fight eggs like this.

"It may."

[00110010_00110011]

Relaxed state did make it easier to open mind more fully than usual, without constant worry of sheer volume of data being overwhelming. Psii let all mental firewalls down, and reached out.

Like this?

[motherofthesun]

The difference between experience was obvious. Still, having him open up a little more did seem to help draw in some of her ability. Not enough to 'sober' him in any sense of the word, but it was better.

"Yes. Just like that."

[00110010_00110011]

You'll have to tell when to send you energy.

Without ability to sense urgency, knew he wouldn't be a good judge of when she needed it.

[motherofthesun]

"Alright. And when I do, I'll buy time so you can charge up."

With that, she took off, paws pounding against the cobblestone. Seemed like the familiars were wise to keep away from her, but the kishin eggs were taking their time. They couldn't pass up a meal. "If you would pass some energy now."

[00110010_00110011]

Psii sent pulse of energy outward, trying to match approximate strength of usual moderately strong blast. Was very difficult to judge, because all effort seemed much greater than usual.

There.

Still felt no more than distant, mild curiosity about kishin swarming streets.

[motherofthesun]

"Thank you."

Though it wasn't too much energy, they could still take down an egg. Having some mild curiosity digging in the back of her mind was not helping, but it wasn't enough to stop her from tackling an egg.

[00110010_00110011]

Psii observed fight with same detachment as everything else. Knew ought to try to shake it off, but only in most intellectual sense.

Could try letting you have more control over energy?

[motherofthesun]

"Is that possible?"

She never heard that being a thing, but if he could manage. Still, she didn't want to control him.

[00110010_00110011]

Was able to do it with former partner. Though was not... in current state.

[motherofthesun]

"Well... I'll give it a try."

She doesn't know if it will work, but she's going to try. Her soul proceeds to reaching, drawing his strength.

[00110010_00110011]

Psii tried hard to focus and channel energy outward, so that Amaterasu could take and do with what she would.

Using physical action to direct seemed to help.

[motherofthesun]

"Physical action. I can do that."

She just needs something to hit. Ah, there was an egg on the prowl now. She tossed herself sharply, aiming to blast the thing right in the face.

[00110010_00110011]

[Even without Psii giving energy a push, it's enough to knock the kishin down. He knows should be impressed, but that's just as distant as other strong emotions.]

See? Thought would work.

[motherofthesun]

"Let's try... this too."

Swinging the power around, she 'grabbed' a garbage can and chucked it at the downed egg.

[00110010_00110011]

Psii remembered just in time was supposed to add own power, and focused on helping Amaterasu aim can, which hit egg head-on.

Sorry. Wasn't really paying attention.

[motherofthesun]

That was incredibly sloppy, but the egg was down.

"Well, we might be in a spot..." More kishin eggs were rushing them. She would have to do this fast!

[00110010_00110011]

Psii wished could feel anything other than calm. It was less soothing and more like blanket smothering normal emotions. Analysis of situation told him needed to send more energy to Amaterasu, so he did.

On other prong, if your ability is problem, resonating less might help more?

[motherofthesun]

"I don't believe resonating less will help in this case."

As the Meister ability just floods out. Resonation wasn't really required for its uses. The egg was pushed back by Soul Menace which seemed stronger as it punctured the offender multiple times. Calming Wavelength was momentarily halted until the attack faded.

[00110010_00110011]

Psii's thinkpan cleared all at once, and alarm quickly rushed in to replace fog of calm.

Am so sorry! Have been terrible Weapon.

To make up for it, charged up large amount of energy to send to Amaterasu, and waited for her word.

Should use outward blast, like before?

[motherofthesun]

"It's fine, Psii. The Witches have done something; I can't contain my ability as usual."

Taking in the energy, she charged forward to take on the next eggs and familiars with a roar.

"Yes! Let's do that!"

[00110010_00110011]

That explained a lot. Psii tried to fight effects, but as soon as Amaterasu stopped using Soul Menace, apathy returned.

But energy Psii had readied didn't diminish, and he was still able to send it out to her.

Effect of calming wavelength was switched off for minute there...

[motherofthesun]

"... Of course. Soul Menace is another Meister ability."

So the two couldn't be working at the same time. But, it wasn't like she could just have Soul Menace on all the time. It wasn't her normal ability.

The next few eggs fell until the blasts she sent their way, the power overwhelming.

[00110010_00110011]

Oh. That makes sense.

[Tries, again, to make self feel anything more than mild curiosity about battle. No luck.]

What do you need now?

[motherofthesun]

"I'll need another energy blast... but allow me to clear your head."

The next moose was leapt over, her four paws landing on its head as it tossed, sending them flying. Her legs splayed, she landed on the roof and raced forward. Up here, she had a better idea of what was happening. Destruction everywhere as usual and people stopped running as soon as she strayed close.

Eyes locking onto a rather large egg, she sprung down from the roof and seized it in her fangs, twisting around and slamming it into the ground. While stunned, she shifted abilities and pierced it with another Soul Menace. She wouldn't be able to keep that up, but anything to help Psii.
