EVENT: Battle Against the Kishin Adachi
Characters: Anyone who signed up for Mission 254
Location: Matsue City, Japan
Rating: PG13
Time: September 11th
Description: It's time to bring down the Kishin Adachi, once and for all!
Matsue was once a lovely city and a nice place for tourists to visit.
It is now a ghost town.
Some lucky citizens had managed to escape the city before things got really bad, but they are the minority. Even fewer still are those who stayed and are still alive.
Most of them are dead, or worse, they had been driven mad by the Madness the Kishin Adachi exuded and killed their fellow citizens and consumed their souls, becoming Kishin Eggs. To make matters worse, sometimes when you're fighting you'll hear the distant rattling of chains and some primal part of your soul knows, something wicked this way comes.
And then there's all the Yellow Fog...
Only those who persevere will make it to their final destination: the Adachi Art Museum where Adachi is.
It will not be an easy fight, but in order to prevent the fate of this city from befalling on another, everyone will need to try.
((OOC: Please indicate in the subject: Character || OPEN/CLOSED. There will be a separate thread for encountering Adachi. Event information is here.))

"...Then I suppose you're right. I failed Lenneth and found no solution that would reverse what happened. My hard work, my research, all I've done was for naught and it left me in self-loathing; to succeed in so many things before, only to fail here. It was something I couldn't fathom. I feel I am weak here, and 'weakness' is a word I refuse to accept into my vocabulary. I have a strength here, a strength I gain with my partner. But I suppose 'partner' isn't quite accurate right now, is it? It feels inadequate."
Lezard shrugged. "Lily Ivory, I feel, is something like my other half. Through our butting heads, I've come to learn much from her, that someone like me can indeed find alternative strengths and rise above what is expected of those of my ilk. I've committed unspeakable crimes; I've failed because of them. I do not tolerate failure, much less of myself, and will bolster my knowledge and power through my own means. There is always the opportunity to find new methods to achieve the best results, rather than the archaic 'tried and true'."
The Shadow slackened, sighed, and seemed content. With a careless shrug, he dissolved into a blue light and was gone.

"Now, you're making it sound like we're married. It's nice to know you think of me that way but it would have helped if you admitted some of this earlier instead of waiting until you were being threatened with decapitation by your double's minions." Was he trying to give her gray hairs?
Although she could see why he'd hide his past. If he'd been forthcoming about it early on, she'd likely have wanted little more to do with him and turned from him as he feared. But instead, he'd managed to worm his way into her soul. She wouldn't abandon him now. Still...
"And I reckon we're going to have to have a talk after we're out of this fog." It was going to take a bit of time for things to sink in and for her to sort out her feelings.
But for now, they had to get back on track. She looked around, checking to see if the skeletal warriors that had accompanied the Shadow had disappeared too.

And the rattle of chains.
"Understood." Lezard turned and began his transformation.
"I'll begin the detection for the souls of other pairs. The Shadow's interference clearing seems to have cleared some of the fog as well."

Book in hand again, she reached for his soul, whatever hesitation she might have felt chased away by the rattle of chains. Neither of them were going to go home with a bullet wound if she could help it. Not even waiting for the familiar bond to fully form again, Lily took off, moving away from the sound.
