magical girl mini event 1

[soulping]

You find yourself on top of a building. There's no goodies, no sign of even the echo themselves, but the rooftop is a tiny greenspace complete with flowering bushes, a tiny pond and a few cooing pigeons. It's an empty, miniature garden overlooking a busy city.

Below you, the streets are packed with cars jammed in stop-and-go traffic. People throng the sidewalks as they walk to and fro, talking on their cell phones, looking at their watches, hurrying to catch a bus or train. Adjacent to you are yet more buildings, some towering far into the sky and decked with giant tv screens mounted to their sides. Blaring lights and music and moving pictures pierce the quiet of the cool twilight sky.

Take a moment to appreciate the peaceful modern life around you.


[ Welcome to your mingle! It will last an hour.]

[ well. that. sure was a window she just slammed her bike into.

glass goes spraying everywhere and the citizens below suddenly have something else to be screaming about ]

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

[HOPE YOU WERE BUYING UMBRELLAS IN THERE, SUCKERS.]

Re: ROUND FOUR

[soulping]

[ you get the sense you should probably wait for the rest of your team to catch up; something in here doesn't feel quite right... ]

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

[She lets out a low grunt, stopping soon after her bike touches down inside the store.]

...what's this feeling...

....tch.

[She's just gonna stop for a sec, to get the lay of the land.]

Re: ROUND FOUR

[kungfusion]

[ Hopping in after, shielded by a shield of petals above her head. ]

Geez! Could you be any more reckless?

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

[She stops, an unsettling feeling shooting up her spine. She gulps, slightly, and looks around, glowering at Ren once she jumps in.]

Yes.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[soulping]

"Why would you do that!? You could have hurt those people!"

[ The Emissary isn't altogether too pleased with you, either. ]

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

You said there's a large disturbance. That means we need to go quickly, right?

Don't ask for my help and then complain about how I give it, you bat-thing. [Glare.] Now hurry up and tell me where the disturbance is.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[soulping]

Emissary of Light! Not bat-thing!

[ HUFF PUFF ]

We have to wait for everyone to be here. You need to work as a team for something this big!

Re: ROUND FOUR

[kungfusion]

Well, don't be.

[ Yeah, she feels that, too. And she doesn't like it. Almost as much as she doesn't like YOUR FACE, ohhh! ]

Let's try to get through this without destroying anything more than we have to.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

Cheh.

I'll focus on the Reaper. Don't expect anything besides that.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[suzinkazan]

Do they not have collateral damage where you're from?

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

They do.

And I don't care there, either.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[suzinkazan]

Charming.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[secretofthefox]

[Well, once he's melted the glass that YOU RAINED DOWN ON INNOCENT PEOPLE and climbed up the rest of the way...

He's not gonna hit you, but he will glare at you.]

We're supposed to be protecting people, right? Raining glass on them is not how you do that!

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

We're supposed to be stopping the Reapers. That's what I'm doing. You don't like it, I'll do it myself.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[secretofthefox]

Idiot! Stopping them can be done without hurting anybody else, you know!

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

Bite me, foxy. I don't need a backseat driver.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[barrette]

[ CHARGING UP THE ESCALATOR because she got in without raining pain down on the poor shoppers ]

There you are!

Re: ROUND FOUR

[tormado]

...why didn't you just take the window like everyone else?!

Re: ROUND FOUR

[barrette]

I found a way in that didn't endanger the people we're here to save. Had you waited a few seconds longer, I could have brought everyone through it with me.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[soulping]

[ now that everyone has made it-- ]

It's in the back!

[ it points towards the back of the store, past some aisles of chocolate, stuffed animals, women's shoes and purses ]

Re: ROUND FOUR

[kungfusion]

Better proceed quickly and with caution. We don't know what it might do.

Re: ROUND FOUR

[secretofthefox]

Good plan.

[He's going to sneak to the close end of one of those stuffed animal aisles and attempt to use Fox Senses to smell/hear what's waiting at the other end.]

Re: ROUND FOUR

[suzinkazan]

We should all try to hit it together.
