[Kaito's Heart]

[soulping]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

((#dragonheart on IRC for this heart party aw yeah))

[as soon as Ed uses the ice she conjured up for him, she's got another ball of ice, that she tosses at what she hopes is the raven's neck]

ENEMY REACTION

[carptricks]

[Aoko's cards successfully crack the bird's neck, and. . . well, between the ice, the mirror sword, the mirror bullets, Diamond's heat beam attack, and Ed's lance attacks, the creature's neck is absolutely decimated]

[The screech it lets out is like nails on a chalkboard, a desperate cry from a desperate creature, and it flails around trying to regain altitude]

ENEMY ACTION

[carptricks]

[. . . which gives everyone a good view of its now exposed bright orange, throbbing heart, which is located right in the middle of the creature's chest. now that the mirrors of that area have been shattered, it's vulnerable to attack]

[and the creature doesn't even seem to care, as he sends out one last burst of jagged mirror shards at the party, a last ditch effort to maim some people before this battle ends]

Hey, Ivy, how high can you throw me?

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[secretbooty]

Hmm...

Pretty high. Wanna try?

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[showbooty]

I thought you'd never ask.

[I'm using the lance as a shield against the shards, it's still getting me some glancing cuts, but i'm not in danger of having anything vital hit like this]

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[debate_avenger]

[...Well fuck. I'm still in the air and right nearby. Trying to block some shards with her sword and arms, but... That's not exactly going to work. She's taking some pretty serious hits here.]

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[fuhrinkaed]

[Step one: Pour all his remaining energy into an orb for both hands while getting peppered in his Basically Everywhere by jagged mirror shards. It might not kill him, but damn that hurt. :')]

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[hyanaimne]

[adding to her already fine collection of shards embedded in her arm and her side now, by which I mean she's not moving and just blocking with an arm. 'Cuz moving will mean she might fall over from using too much magic, oops]

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[clocksandroses]

[. . . And that sure is a scream from Aoko as one of those shards tears through her shoulder, and another slices by her side, cutting deep. but fortunately, unlike some people, she manages to avoid getting impaled through the gd gut.]]

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[carptricks]

[gdit Aoko what did I jump out in front of you for]

[he makes to move, but flinches and hangs back]

-- Aoko!

Re: PLAYER REACTION

[clocksandroses]

I-I'm fine—

[she's totally not fine, she's on her knees and can't seem to get up again, but she is somehow finding it within herself to raise the cardgun again, this time one-handed.]

PLAYER ACTION

[carptricks]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[debate_avenger]

[Still, I'm going to try... One last teleport near the thing and just thrusting the damn shard into its heart. I'm not going to jump or anything this time though, because... seriously, I am not in good condition.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[fuhrinkaed]

[Step two: Release all your MP at once in a FUCKING BURST STREAM at the thing's heart.]

[Gonna fall asleep now kthnx what is reserving energy???]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[hyanaimne]

[aside from one or two healing spells, this is the last she's got, so better make it count with her favorite spell in the entire world]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[secretbooty]

[I'M SPENDING THIS TURN TOSSING IRIS UP IN THE AIR]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[showbooty]

[Once I'm up in the air thanks to Ivy and close, I'm going to fire off one more burst of heat ray from the lance, then spin it around and hurl it, sharp-end first, as hard as I possibly can, right at that fucking heart.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[clocksandroses]

[This gun is Kaito's. Kaitou Kid's. Stupid—stupid, stupid, stupid, but Kid could do this, couldn't he? Kaito could? No matter how much he hurt.

Push it back. Aim and fire. Finish this.

Gritting her teeth against the pain and the black spots swimming in her vision, she focuses everything she has into pulling the trigger one last time. And now, she's aiming for the heart.]

ENEMY DEFEATED

[carptricks]

[. . . all of your attacks strike true and rip right through the creature's heart, shredding it to piece]

[Its final cry is garbled, a screech that's distorted like a scratched record. Piece by piece, the bird begins to fall apart]

[Its feathers crash to the ground with loud shatters and soft tink tinks. And just like that, the mirror pieces dissolve into harmless, sparkling dust]

Re: ENEMY DEFEATED

[showbooty]

[OKAY BUT I'M STILL FALLING]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[carptricks]

. . . [nearby, from the corner where he was watching, Kaito lets out a breath of relief]

Ha. . . you guys. . .

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[fuhrinkaed]

[zzzzzz]

[the wand and coins he was carrying fall to the ground while he naps with mirror shards in him. I guess 'being unconscious' is closer to the truth.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[clocksandroses]

[Aoko was on her knees anyway, but she's just going to.

Let the gun fall from suddenly nerveless fingers and faceplant.]
