[ As Star, Natalie, and Daisy get into an act of tug-o-war over who will or won't be hit by the incoming kick, Vash wisely releases a good portion of the butterflies. They eagerly escape the confines of their cages, floating momentarily by the door, seeming to gather... strength? Light? They grow larger, individually, changing shape into tiny, magenta birds—before dive bombing the masked Gatekeeper.
The first one slams into her, knocking her back at the very last second before she can manage to hit both Star and Natalie. A second and third one strike various parts of her body, seemingly becoming absorbed into it, even as the force of them knocks her off-center and threatens to spill her—a fourth and fifth hit her squarely in the mask. The first cracks it, and the second breaks off a whole chunk of it covering her mouth.
She seems to hear both Silver and Star calling out to her, and her tail twitches. You feel... a wave of confusion and curiosity come through. However, before anything more can happen, Caracal asserts herself into the fray, attempting to tackle the still-masked girl, who hops back with super-human speed.
MEANWHILE, Not!Yato Papa takes a bullet from Vash in the shoulder so that he can defend himself from Yato's blade. ]
[ In spite of very solid efforts, it appears that the fight's still not over. Hiyori?—Roc?—Is that her name? shakes her head, and launches herself at Caracal this time, throwing several feints and jabs before trying to slide home with a solid upper-cut to the larger woman's jaw. Strangely, in all this time, she's shouting: ]
Let me help you! Just let me help you!
[ Meanwhile, Not!thePapa hasn't given up, either. He holds off Yato's attack with one blade and spin out from the other. ]
Let her go? Don't kid yourself. I had her from the moment she woke up and met her first person her. I'm a part of her. You, too. Probably all of you. It would be a lot easier to just give in, wouldn't it?
[ He pulls back his weapon and attempts to stab it forward into Yato's side. ]
[ —an opening. both hands flying up to wrap hard around Hiyori's wrist, even as her ears ring and her jaw makes a cracking sound, pulling her in as close as she can. ]
[after releasing the butterflies, Daisy lobs a glass vial over towards Wolfwood--it shatters and sprays a magic potion that increases her speed and aim for a short period of time]
[ his priority isn't blocking attacks at the moment, it's making them. while his not-dad's thrusting forward with his weapon, Yato mirrors him, stabbing his both his swords towards Fujisaki's chest and side.
Re: Player Action
instead, Wolfwood goes straight for sprinting forward and trying to tackle the girl in the mask before she can get to either of them. ]
