magical girl mini event 2

[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 a 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.


[ OOC: Welcome to your mingle! It will last an hour. While you're waiting for the game to start, you might want to be thinking on what you'd like your character's magical girl to look like and start building them up: you can use any of the following doll makers like this one, this one, or this one to start planning.

O blessed land, eat and drink your fill, as on the first days of harvest -- As at the beginning of the barley harvest. Holy Lance!

[ It's about like she says. Spears of light erupt from the ground one after another, sprouting thorns - if they're not dodged we'll end up with a field of impaled bodies, but if they are it's a good way to create some space. ]

[soulping]

[ well, some of your teammates are more or less floating, hopefully the others are good at dodging. the reapers aren't too graceful at it; five of them are impaled on these holy light spears

the woman herself, however, remains untouched; perhaps whatever network of roots serve to create her roses are protecting her underneath ]

[withmyownfists]

H-hey! Be a little more careful over there!

[ nightingale and I nearly got turned into shishka-mahous ]

[overfull]

Ah, please excuse me -

[ Friendly fire's no good. She swings her spear in an arc to clear some of them away. ]

[withmyownfists]

[ well with that done, she can set nightingale back down ]

Thank you! I'm sorry for yelling.

[ with her other hand free, she summons her mahou scythe again and slashes out at two of the remaining reapers ]

--I think we're wearing them down!

[soulping]

[ two less reapers! only two remain, and the boss herself, who seems content to hide behind her rosebushes

those two are hanging back kind of cautiously, as though they don't want to engage, lurking around the rose bushes]

[overfull]

[ She doesn't seem too put off by it, instead focusing on making a path for them to get through. ]

Should we attack those roots?

[withmyownfists]

Yes! Do you think you can get them out on your own?

[ let's just say that NATALIE, who has the power of ICE, as well as PRINCE SAKURA, who has the power of WATER has volunteered to help you

TEAM EFFORT]

[overfull]

I -

[ A beat, while she mulls it over. It's a bad idea to try and drive that many roots out with her spears, with everyone else all over the place. She takes a look around. What does she know about gardening? ]

If that girl and that boy were to unearth them with the cold, then it would be possible for me- please take care to remove yourself.

[ So let's say that happens. It's very cool and gorgeous, in that not too detailed in these brackets way that leaves it open for the players once they wake up. ]

Thus, mankind heads toward the stars. Deneb Adige!

[ The vines don't burn. That'd be Nightingale's deal. Dredged up by the cold and wet, under Arachne's incantation they shine blindingly blue-white, then dissolve into gas and motes of light. ]

[soulping]

[ an enormous ball of fire wreathed in crackling darkness slams into the rose bush. the ensuing blaze manages to catch both reapers on fire and swiftly destroy them (they're to slow to get away.) the builing also sustains some damage: displays of food are destroyed, and part of the back end of the building caves in

meanwhile, arachne's, natalie's, and the prince's joint attacks lay waste to the root system that was sustaining the enormous bush. the remainder of the vines up-top sag and then crumple into flaming, charred bits--an is unable to regenerate. ground is a COMPLETE MESS but they must be making some serious progress, because-- ]

My. I thought they sent me doves. But here I see only pigeons.

[ she summons up three more reapers, but as the Emissary points out-- ]

She's running out of energy to summon them! Keep pressing!
