Richard Maxwell

“Shut up. Just shut up.” Richard snapped, looking down all while wiping the girl’s face off.

Caressing the girl’s cheek, he let her hair flow between his fingers before hugging her again.

“I’m not doing this because I give a damn about you. It’s just that you’re crying so pitifully I can’t help but want to puke. You are pathetic, you make me sick to my stomach. So sick I think I’ll go crazy any moment. I’d probably feel better if you just dropped dead, but I don’t even care enough to bother. That is how pathetic you are.” He snapped, harsh words without a tint of emotion.

“But that’s no good. I’m not feeling good at all, and it’s all your fault. It’s not like I care, but you are littering this whole damn place with your tears. If you keep this up, the whole place will be dirty again and there won’t be anyone left to clean it. I can't stand to see someone cry. That’s all.”

Then, he got up and wiped her eyes with his scarf again. Sighing, he bit his lip and turned around.
He really was a terrible actor.

“Come. You can’t stay with rags all day. “

Christina Summeria

Somehow the man was pushed back in the air, away from her, and so Christina did the only thing she could, she rushed at him as the man ran back with great speed. He was faster, so she decided in a split second she had to attack another way.

And she skidded to a stop and her spear was thrust forward. Again the mechanism triggered and shot at the man, shooting though the air like a controlled cannonball.

What she didn't know however was as she ran the boys magic began to work, trying to cool her armor. However, as soon as the power tried to enter her armor it was purified, removed from the world. This was part of the blessing, part of the might of the Saint left in her armor.

It would not allow something of that kind, something of the inhuman nature such as magic or this power to harm her.

Sakagami Kenzo

Sakagami's face quickly turned from disturbed to livid. As soon as the man's mouth gaped open and revealed the bloody remains of the man's tongue, Kenzo's glared turned into one of murderous ire.

Tesshō

In a flash, his palm pummelled the man's chest. But instead of causing any harm to the possessed body itself, the contacted area glew gold. A simple exorcism technique, one that he didn't like to employ one bit. But that child had left him no choice.

"I told you I'd get real angry." he growled, a bead of sweat dropping from his face. He wasn't quite proeficent enough to handle the backslash completely just yet, but he didn't have the time to prepare a proper ritual. This had to do.

[Panda]

Adjutor

Okay, the ice was ineffective. She's not quite as fast as us...

Just as Adjutor brought himself to a stop, preparing to charge back in, the woman skidded to a stop in turn to thrust her spear forward.

Without bothering to reconsider the action, Adjutor slipped out of the way of the spear, Rahab freezing the moisture around the shaft of the spear as he did so, encasing the shaft of the weapon in a block of ice.

[Knick]

Christina Summeria

The man dodged her spear, he simply moved to the side, avoiding the impact, and began to rush at her.  But with a small adjustment with her fingers, and with the direction given by her will, the end of the expanded spear bent, the spear edge moving to intercept him and sever his legs.

However, as he rushed his magic again began to try and work, trying to condense and freeze the water vapor around her into ice to lock away her spear.

But as it began, as soon as the smallest bit of magical ice tried to form upon the spear, it was cleansed the be powerful blessings held by the weapon.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Urthemiel

Frost danced between Urthemiel's fingers as the stranger moved at ridiculously fast speeds and created a portal to pull out his sword and transport his strike at the demons. It was rather fascinating considering that the only thing of equivalent nature woould be an Eluvian yet this boy seemed to be able to generate these openings by himself. It was a curiosity but the Old God had learned by now that expecting anything normal in this place was foolish.

However he did seem to underestimate the force necessary to bring down even these dregs. The demon was still alive if barely and hurtled a bolt of fire at him as its compatriot let loose a large torrent of flame from its hands. Despite this the main danger was the Tear since shades began to enter through the wound in the Fade along with more rage demons.

"They won't be stopping anytime soon. An opening into the material world with the Veil this thin is too good of an opportunity to pass up for them."


Ghost Child

The man stumbled and fell onto his back after being hit by the technique. Ghost Child frowned as his control and effect on the toy grew slack. It was so slow and weak now, and that was boring. So he abandoned the unconscious body and allowed it to choke on its own blood before pouting.

"You broke him! I was supposed to break him. Now I can't play with him anymore."

He gave the still body a forlorn look before wagging his finger at the redheaded man. "You should have finished it, mister. Now it will be all sad if it wakes up. Sad things aren't very fun to play with y'know."

[Panda]

Adjutor

Okay, ice just isn't effective. Perhaps magic altogether would fail agai-

Spear, aimed for your legs!

Fu-

Without thinking much of it, the teen dove to the side, the spear passing over his head, before rolling to his feet, now some distance off from the woman with a covered manhole just behind him. Adjutor quickly reaches behind him, Armogarians securing a hold on the manhole before he hoists it up and hurls it straight at her like an extremely heavy frisbee.

[Knick]

Christina Summeria

Her attack was dodged, and in that moment her weapon snapped back to her, turning back into a normal lance.

Then she quickly spun her spear, cleaving the oncoming projectile in two, the spear-head emanating a slight white light the moment it touched the manhole cover.

Then she did not move, she simple stood there, entering a stance and closely observing her enemy.

[Panda]

Adjutor

Okay. Focus. That thing is horrifying at range, but spears need room to be effect. Swords don't need nearly as much, and fists even less so. Now keep her off balance.

With a moment's focus, icicles suddenly burst from the ground directly under the woman, aiming to impale her, making the ground itself an unsafe zone. At the same time, Adjutor charged in, Valmanway in one hand as he called  Rahab to the other and froze the ground they stood on.

[Panda]

Michael

Michael took a moment to look at the two, then at the clearly uncomfortable kid.

"It's okay, kid," he said, patting Roxas on the shoulder, "Chances are you'll understand this stuff better when you're a bit older, but let's just say that those two probably need a moment to themselves."

[SINIB]

Sepulchure

Sepulchure was disappointed as he observed the great being casually destroy his army. He was sure that even while restrained by the immeasurably powerful bonds that must have been used to contain it, taking the reigns on its power would have been a great boon. It was a pity that it had been destroyed before he had been able to act, but in the end, it was only the most minor of setbacks.

He allowed the gnats to fly far away. Their escape was absolutely meaningless to him. There were far more pressing matters to pay attention to, after all. Even if he would be unable to capture such a grand existence, he wanted to see what it would do. And so, he watched it.

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura looked back and forth frantically between Rin and Shirou.

“Sakura, what's wrong? And, Rin, Sakura is only two years younger than me, and she's my wife”, he said, before his pain-addled brain did a double-take.

"Wait, Rin, why are you even here? What is going on?" he continued, thoroughly confused at the situation.

“S-Senpai, that’s what we should be asking you!” Sakura started. “What are you doing here?” Sakura avoided eye contact, blushing profusely. As Rider spoke and her gaze wandered, she noticed Rin’s clothing sprawled on the floor, covered in blood. Sakura quickly looked up at Rin, and noticed she was clad only in a towel. She acted quickly, her shadow coming into existence and forming a blindfold over Shirou.


“That’s right, we’re not married yet! You haven’t even proposed to me!” Sakura began to berate him. “Wait--” Sakura looked closely at him, and saw a much older man than the one she had left upstairs. “Do you have your own Sakura?” She asked hesitantly.

[Knick]

Christina Summeria

Ice began to collect at her feet and her eyes widened, jumping back just as the exploded into spike, scraping against her armor slightly.

“Tsk!” and she continued to backpedal as the man closes in on her. She flipped her spear, and held it parallel to the ground her back.

Then she swung it, and it segmented. Like a whip it shot out far faster than it would straight.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Sakagami Kenzo

"Oh, you want to play?" the demon sneered.

"Okay, I have an idea. Do you like hide and seek?"

[Umbra of Chaos]

Ghost Child

The eyeless kid took a moment to ponder the question before nodding. "Yeah! Are you going to play a game with me, mister? You didn't want to play a game with the other toy. If we play then I get to hide first."

Ghost Child seemed rather excited. Maybe the tall man would use his swords to chop up some of the other toys after they played!
