Locke

A tall muscular man dressed in a tank top and military style pants stood just outside the gate, leaning on the brick, arms crossed.  The man raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed by the couple.  "Well at least you look like you're in decent shape."

Nanako

The squirrel girl watched as they all wandered off, Nanako tapping her foot for a moment before glancing down at Steaven.

"So, whaddya wanna do?" she asked, all but bouncing on her feet energetically.

[SINIB]

Tsumiko

The shadow remained there, watching the thugs from the well, shadows. Meanwhile, on a rooftop nearby, Tsumiko laid on top of Thea, panting, holding back her laughter. "We're so-fucking stupid. What were we thinking!?"

[YOLF]

Edelgard

She could no longer afford to keep up the monstrous strength that had made her latest moves so effective, but still she swung with all her power. She felt the doping leave her, soreness and shortness of breath replacing it (pain, but only a fraction of what it should be, thanks to the air thick with astral taint), but brought the heavy head of the polearm against the thing anyway.

Too late. The light enveloped Edelgard, flooding all her senses with a wretched cacophony. The force pushed her away, diverting her strike as it burned every inch of her, but she refused to loosen her grip. She roared as she failed to keep her feet on the ground, but the sound was amorphous with everything ringing in her skull.

In an instant, she couldn't tell up from down, but no! No, NO! Edelgard protested to herself, trying to hold on. This bastard, these monsters, whatever spawned them! They'd die before speaking for her! They were no good and she'd tear them all apart if she had to, and fuck her peace and damn their words!

The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak before this onslaught, and cried out as it overtook her. Edelgard, charred and beaten, went tumbling through debris and dust, crashing through one, then two walls before her consciousness drifted to silence. Her spear remained in her hand.

Thea

Not an unfair summary of what had taken place, to be honest. Huh, Tsumiko's chest was a lot heavier than Thea had - no, no, focus. That had been the problem from the start!

She pat her partner on the back and pushed those thoughts aside. "A simple mistake. We'll just have to go the direct route now."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Othinus

I grow weary. The redhead was a mystery to the future, but Othinus could infer much from the bullets which would enter the fray. All this she knew and more as she twisted back into a woman. She released the spear and pinned it between her elbow and body to allow her hands freedom. With incalculable experience each finger drifted into a familiar pattern in the barest instance, little more than a twitch of a finger for her.

One formed a mighty barrier which could withstand a salvo of artillery without shattering. It was a shimmering, golden wall flatter than paper and shimmering with text. Stretching a dozen meters above, below, and to the sides, it served as a fine defense for as long as it lasted. The other rune burned into being as a sudden downwards current of wind as nature itself was bent to her will. The same power which had a moment before propelled Othinus so high was now martialed to send Lily hurtling back to the earth.

Thugs

The thug reached out, his finger inching close to the shadow.  For some reason he thought maybe it would be touchable?

The leader of the small squad glanced at him with a raised eyebrow.  "What are you doing?" he asked, turning towards the bumbling underling.  "Hurry up and search, they might have already left."

"No I feel like...." he said, his finger inching closer and closer.  It was soft, cautious, but with a healthy amount of pressure.  It was like a kid pressing a button he was told not to touch.

Tsumiko

All he was able to touch was a wall. He felt solid stone, exactly how he was supposed to.

She pressed Thea down, ignoring her. She was concentrating on subtly expanding the shadow into all of their natural shadows, splitting them off into independent entities. It was difficult to do so many at once, and the girl began to pant from the strain upon her magical circuits.

[yinsukin]

Steaven

Steaven shot Nanako a contemptuous glare.  "Look!  Just because you have a fluffy body doesn't mean I will play with you."

Fluffy body ugggggghh!!?!

Whatever.  She would get the point.

Thea

At first the empress' face grew warm at the abundance pressing down on her chest, her partner's thoughtlessness making her prior distraction worse. Much worse. Her breath caught in her throat as she considered neglecting the mission just a little more.

But then she felt it, the psychic energies flowing out from Tsumiko into the shadows of the men whose minds she could sense. If this was causing some strain on her... Thea pushed her own distraction aside. She touched Tsumiko's forehead, and tried to subtly nudge her mind with tactile hallucinations of comfort and relaxation. A simple trick for pacifying people turned to a form of pain relief.

[Panda]

Nanako

Nanako giggled at the boy's insistence, his stubbornness proving almost irresistibly cute. Almost. The squirrel girl glanced back before zipping back to the nearest couch with Steaven in tow. She put the boy on the couch on his side, resting his head snugly on her thighs, and idly patted Steaven's head, humming absentmindedly to herself.

"Alright! We can just rest a bit instead, then," she said.

[yinsukin]

Suerte

Well, she could propel Lily again, but there was no point in that.  Instead, she aimed the gun where the blond would come down.  A small mechanical noise was followed by a shot that flew through the air towards its target, more with actual skill than raw luck.  When the "bullet" struck, it hit her from the side, threatening to throw her off the building.

[yinsukin]

Steaven

Steaven did not even have time to protest before he realized he was sitting on a couch next to Nanako, staring at that orange fur.  His head was laying on something tight but...soft like a freshly bought pillow.  It was thighs.  He was laying on thighs, Nanako's thighs!

"Y-yeah! Thats better!"

Like hell! He couldn't rest now.

[Bern]

Lily

Right after she changed her course a massive draft of wind blasted her from above and slammed her down into the streets below, a large crater forming upon impact. The wind blasted on with relentless force choking the very fire she was generating and putting it out, it even prevented her from getting back up as she was pushed further and further into the street. With no way of retaliation, the elemental was forced to endure the power of nature for now.

[Panda]

Nanako

As the squirrel girl sat there, draping her tail along Steaven like an oversized side pillow, she couldn't help a small sigh as the warmth surrounding her and the comfy chair started to get to her. The patting gradually slowed and eventually stopped as she relaxed in her seat, eyelids drifting closed And ears drooping as she opted to rest her eyes for the moment.
