Emily

"Yes, I suppose that is the case," Emily said with a slight giggle to Rider's point about the vines. Only to visibly wince at the mention of healing from any wounds. Last she checked, what she'd spotted in the woman's desires hadn't included anything quite that extreme.

"We could go together, yes," the redhead said, looking thoughtful for a moment, "But you know, this city isn't exactly safe these days, not that it ever was. The vines aren't really that impressive as far as their use in a fight, and they're probably the best trick I have for fighting back. I don't suppose you could maybe help me out there? When it's convenient for you, of course. I'd never dream of pulling you away from your friend in their time of need for my own sake."

[Aiden]

IRON=SAKURA

Sakura suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Breeze in a single swift and smooth motion, slamming the tan girl into the ground and pinning her easily with her iron strength. "Can you get out of this, then?" Sakura asked with a smirk.

Auspicious Breeze

Okay, Sakura was pretty good at grabbing people! Really good, really, or she couldn't have pulled this off. Buuuut, this was close quarters - defeating Breeze this close up decisively was pretty much impossible. She responded automatically to the attempt, flooding her body with golden light and channeling the divine skill of the sun into her own body! She couldn't brute force her way out of this, but nothing said she couldn't aim at just the right spot by the girl's leg with the side of her heel despite her current position...!

And from there it should have been relatively simple to slip her way out of the hold. And against someone who wasn't all metal inside it might have done it.

"... huh. That normally works. Oh right, you, nn, said your body is all metal..."

Now she was even kinda glowy, too. Well, that meant she had to fight dirty. Breeze adjusted her hand to just the right angle to...

Honk honk.

"... except this part!"

[SINIB]

Grigori

Hmm. Well it still seemed that she had much to learn. The whole thing was rather interesting, really. Grigori smiled a bit. "Yes, that would be nice. I don't suppose that there's anything you would like to know about me, Lady Animusphere?"

Olgamally

"Heh." Olga laughed as if Grigori had just made a funny joke. "We both know that I'm as interested in your story as you were in mine, Grigori." Olga leaned her elbows onto the table and propped up her face with an interested look. "So what's your story? Your family line must be truly ancient to have your powers. Or your world works on completely different principles, which would be a shame. I'd much rather we learn each-other's magecraft from each other. It's much more interesting and beneficial that way."

[Aiden]

Waka

They enjoyed it. Good. Waka was glad to know his cooking was still good. He hadn't cooked like this in a while out in the forest.

The oni took what was left and ate. He washed it down with the sake Engetsu gave him. Free sake made it taste better. Waka was enjoying himself with others. Strange.

"... this is nice."

[Aiden]

Nep-Nep

"NOPE."

The rejection was sudden, cutting Noire's fuming off like the swipe of a sharp blade. She turned turned to the other goddess, a strained smile adorning her face. Noire probably thought she was messing around.

"I'm sorry Noire but none of that is happening right now. You might get it sometime, who knows. Maybe you won't." She took a breathe and then continued. "Come on Gadreel we have stuff to do, and it won't do itself." The purple haired goddess moved to leave, giving the Angel a signal to follow.

Gadreel

There was something he could not discern underlying the interactions of the two goddesses now. What was it that inspired such impassioned responses from the two of them? To what end was Neptune's rejection directed? He did not wish to act in ignorance again, but it seemed he would not be given more time to examine their interactions.

He looked between the two, then once to his niece. What was the right thing to do? What did he want to do? How did the two differ?

Gadreel didn't have anymore time to waver. He followed after her. "Neptune." He kept his voice low, so the others would not hear. Not that this would impede Lucy's puppets. "Is this how you wish for such a reunion to end?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Hazel

Mason looked up at the two, curious as to where this was going to go.  In the meantime, Parker signaled the men to leave.  The group began moving towards the exit of the gymnasium.

Hazeld grabbed Mason's hand and pulled him towards her.  The boy's head was thrust into her chest.  He squirmed a little bit, but he wasn't able to escape.  "Oh don't give me that," she said,caressing Mason's cheek.  "Look at this face.  He's going to be a heart-breaker when he grows up.  I can't have you ruin that with your third rate game."

Lorenzo

The pirate stopped and the air around the three turned cold.

"Third rate you say...?" He answered in a trembling voice. "Oh, I didn't know my master was trying to be a comedian." He turned to her and his burning eyes flashed, shooting lightning into Hazel's.

This was war.

[yinsukin]

Hazel

Hazel's smile grew larger, her eyes now lit up by the lightning traveling through Lorenzo's glare.  "You heard me," she said, her voice now blatantly condescending.  She let Mason go, allowing him to take a step away from the two.  Meanwhile, she walked towards the creature, pressing her finger into his bony chest as she placed her other hand on her hip.  "You dress like a shitty cosplayer from the 70's and your comebacks are as dead as your skin."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo

There was an inaudible gasp that echoed in the gymnasium. It only took the pirate the time to recollect himself in order for him to flare up, quite literally. "Oh that's it. We're taking this outside!"

[yinsukin]

Hazel

Hazel looked at Mason and said, "You heard him, release the barrier."

The boy snapped his finger, opening his hand at the end of the movement.  The floor and walls began to glow and small balls of light detached from the glowing walls and floors, gathering in Mason's open palm.  Then, he closed his hand and looked up at his boss.  "I'm done," he said simply, as if he had just finished a homework assignment he was proud of.

The finger touching Lorenzo's chest seemed to almost devolve into smoke.  It started from her finger tip, before moving to the rest of her body.  In a matter of seconds, her body had transformed into smoke.  "I shall wait for you outside then." Her disembodied voice echoed through the room.  Then, the smoke flew outside, moving through the cracks in the building.  It formed her body outside, waiting for her new servant to confront her.

[MissingMandible]

Gojira:

So Bill got himself an attack dog, one that could actually put up a fight. And she was making a bee-line for them. This threw Gojira's original plan out the window. It was now time for direct confrontation!

"You're going to have to leave," the brunette newcomer stated, forming a more intimidating posture. "Or don't. It would be more fun that way." she added with a feral smile.

"I don't think we shall." Gojira said defiantly. This is going to be good.

"Very well," The unknown woman returned. Before Gojira could react, her face was slammed onto the table so hard that the wood cracked in two.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Paladin

He hummed then nodded. "Yes, that would work. Do you need any materials for such a project? I have little to offer, but if you are summoning a creature of ice I've re-purposed one of the back rooms as a shrine to Stribog. It is a powerful place for such elementally aligned work."


Lucy

Hmm, it would be rather dangerous to try and twist this Neptune around her finger. But, well, Lucy could make other sacrifices instead. So she gave Noire a reassuring pat on the back. "I don't think your friend likes me, Noire."

"You should go with her. Really. I'll be fine, and I don't want to get in between two old friends, kay?"


Grigori

"Well, we are certainly old. My family is an older group. But we are also inheritors of an evolving power. Each mage in our line is more powerful than the next. Without exception. The attainment of power is the most important thing for us. Technique and skill can be taught, but it is incredibly difficult to gain power." She sighed.

"I suppose that I'll have a child sooner or later. For the sake of the family if anything."

[Kat]

Anastasia

(Soft retcon since a derp on my part)

"I think I can work magic a bit better in such area, but it doesn't matter. As long as they leyline is good, I'm pretty good at controlling my magic." Anastasia reassured Paladin. "Alright. You've seen me casting those destructive spells, but that's not extent of my capabilities. That might be trivial, but uhh, I can also make ice sculptures. When I had to pay off my master's debts, I undertook many tasks just to shake off debt collectors." 

Anastasia took a deep breath and focused. She summoned ice with her magic and started shaping it into humanoid shape. She clearly aimed at making a statue of sorts, though in whose likeness it would be?

[Thedoctor]

Neptune

Neptune didn't slow down at the call from the other, she kept the same pace not even responding to it. She did however respond to the words uttered by the Angel Gadreel.

"This makes for pretty good drama doesn't it?" Getting abandoned after seeing a familiar face, how tragic indeed. "I can't really be spending time with her now... And who even naps for weeks on end...."

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

A hail of bullets blew past them, some of them passing right through her wings which proceeded to heal quickly. "Well she us a rather violent one."

And she was even chasing after them on a flying horse now of all things, not that the vampire paid that much heed, she had something more important to deal with. That being the little mission this dog had been on.

"What were these old places he visited? Perhaps they could give us a clue as to finding his current whereabouts." She stated calmly despite the literal chase going on.

[Elf]

Gabriel

You poor wolf, Gabriel thought with a sigh as Anne responded with a barrage of bullets and took chase. 

He took another swallow of his beer, tasting it and grading it.  It was lower-middle class stuff, better than what the large beer manufactures over produced but not as good as something from a small craft brewery.  He'd had better, but he also had far worse and it was drinkable.

He wasn't going to let it go to waste, and his instincts honed by his experience were telling him that this chase may last some time.  It was better to let everyone think they had got away and then surprise them from the shadows.  Even though the winged blonde triggered some ancient fear response in the back of his mind ever so slightly, but he had nothing better to do and eventually his curiosity and thirst for chaos would get the better of him. 

So he drank his beer and decided when he was finished he'd track Ron the Werewolf down.


Forest

"You do care, you just like acting like you don't," Forest said, finally able to gather coherent thoughts because her weakness wasn't currently being teased or fondled.

Sure, the haze of desire was there and she was probably soaking Marcus's pants, but she was more coherent right now.

So she bucked him off of her and stood up.  "And Lord and Lady help me if the first time we're together has you shagging me from behind!"


Rin

Rin chuckled at that and the person a couple of seats down glared at them.  Rin smirked at that person and they shrunk back.  She looked up at Joe with a grin.

"Oh geeze, I'm not even going to be working with a novice am I?" she asked.
