TOWN SQUARE

[niteomods]

7/13

[rightsiderequiem]

[Dextera has taken to hiding as best as he could in the town square. he knew how to hide pretty well - sometimes fighting the Meta-Beings was simply not worth it - and since these were normal humans, Dextera really didn't want to fight them. but if it came down to it he'd kill them.

for now, however, he'll stay in his hiding spot and watch and see. there wasn't much to do unless he understood more.]

[hebi]

[Sasuke had been on his way back to the apartments from spending the say by and around the rec center, fighting and scaring off the soldiers. He was weary, though by no means too exhausted.

He stopped when he saw Dextera, pausing for a moment.]

You get caught out here during the excitement?

[rightsiderequiem]

[the mute shakes his head and pulls out the device so he can write something down.]

No. Came down here to help.

[he even brought the Atonement Sword - though the weapon looks far too blunt to be any use, oddly enough.]

[hebi]

[Leaning a little closer to the device so that he can read it, then glancing at the sword. It doesn't...yeah, it doesn't look like it'd be able to really cut anything, even plants.

Maybe it could just be like...a club. Provided the upper body strength is there.]

All right. Just take care of yourself, okay? Death here is likely what you're unfamiliar with.

[rightsiderequiem]

[it's a weird weapon for someone who was weird.

he just looks a little...sad, when Sasuke says that. it's fine. dying was just dying.]

I'll be okay. Dying isn't so bad.

[hebi]

[A weapon is a weapon in time of war, no matter what it's shape.]

No. Dying here, for all we know, lasts for a while. It was four months before I came too, after I was killed. Don't even bother trying to risk it.

[rightsiderequiem]

[he doesn't respond to that. time was meaningless to him when it came to death. one minute to four months...it didn't matter.

instead he pokes his head out of his hiding place, looking to see if there was anyone there before typing out something.]

Can you hear anything?

[hebi]

[Kid, you're going to have to learn to listen to people when they're talking to you. Especially when Sasuke's been here the longest and was also the only one to be killed. 8| Alas.]

There's a possibility that it was a few soldiers. They seem to be breaking off in small groups to check things out in the city.

[rightsiderequiem]

[he's dumb, okay? >_>]

You're okay with fighting if they come here? [just to make sure. he didn't have a problem with his own death, it was others he minded.]

[hebi]

[That's why he was trying to tell him! Well, just so he's aware that death here =\= death at home, anyway.]

I'm a fighter. It's my job.

[rightsiderequiem]

[you mind have to tell him more than once. his skull is rather thick.]

Okay. Maybe I should move. Might make them move too if they saw me.

[hebi]

[He wouldn't doubt it, fortunately. But while soldiers are gaining ground on them, it'll have to wait.]

Are you sure you want to fight?

[rightsiderequiem]

I can fight. [that does and doesn't answer his question Dextera, but that's the way it's always been.]

[hebi]

[Bit of a frown.]

Yes, but do you want to?

[rightsiderequiem]

Yes. [as much as he didn't want to kill normal humans, Dextera knew it had to be done.]

[hebi]

Than make sure you don't get killed.

[and_my_pickaxe]

[Lin had taken some guns from the armory, but having little experience fighting with one, she was too afraid to charge into battle. Instead of fighting back, Lin tries to hide herself in the square, but is panicking far too much to think clearly or to soften her heavy breathing...

It isn't long before a soldier finds her. Instinctively, she charges at him with her machine gun, and manages to get a shot. But once he's down and dead, she continues to shoot. Shooting and shooting... not stopping until his corpse is pulp and the magazine is empty.

When it's over, there's a nervous chuckle as she smiles sadistically to herself. Her expression changes suddenly when she gets a good look at what she's done.

She drops her weapon. Her shrill cry resounds across the square.]

E-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

[comradely]

[ There's no way Obito could have missed that shrill cry, it send shivers down his spine. It sounded bad, really bad. He didn't allow himself to think, if he did he would hesitate and he couldn't afford that right now, and made his way over to where the cry had come from as fast and as silently as he could.

It didn't take long for him to skid onto the scene, finding a woman and. . . a very mangled body. His stomach turned and he quickly ignores the feeling. He'd seen plenty of bodies before, but not one in the horrible condition this one was in. That, and he'd never really gotten used to the sight. He didn't particularly want to either. But much more important was the woman and that's what Obito focuses on. ]

Hey, are you okay?

[and_my_pickaxe]

[Very much defeated by what has gone on, Lin is too far into her own thoughts to notice the stranger approaching. Though she has dropped her gun, on her back is a pickaxe-like object, which she reaches for in a daze after she's stopped screaming.

When he speaks, she scrambles away from him with a cry, raising her pickaxe in self-defense. But once she notices he is one of the group, she lowers it very slowly. The woman begins to speak with hysterical sobs as the pickaxe shakes in her hands.]

Okay?! Okay?! We're going to die...! All of us!

[comradely]

[ Instinctively Obito holds up his hands in both a gesture to show he means no harm and one for her to calm down. With all the noise she was making, she was going to attract more unwanted attention in no time. He takes a quick look around to make sure no one else was approaching before taking a step towards her, hands still held up in front of him.

He tries to speak as calmly as he can, but it's still in a hurried shushing voice. ]

Please calm down. We'll be fine, I promise. Let's get you out of here, alright?

[and_my_pickaxe]

[For each step forward he took, Mayuzumi took a cautious step back. How does she know she can trust him?]

How?! Where can we go?!

[Most of the place was crawling with soldiers...]

I'm tired. I don't want to kill anymore!

[comradely]

[ He stops when he notices trying to get near her is pretty much futile. However, they didn't have much time out here in the open. No doubt more soldiers would show up very soon. ]

Then don't fight if you don't want to! Either way, you can't stay here. I'll take you to where miss Elizabeth is.

[ On the roof with Elizabeth was the safest place he could think of. He holds out one hand urgently for her to take. They really didn't have any time to dawdle, he could hear more soldiers coming. ]

[and_my_pickaxe]

No! Not her! Not that bitch...!

[The prospect of Elizabeth laughing at her while she cries is too much. The shock snaps her out of her fear, and she raises her pickaxe again, having not realized that the distant footsteps are coming towards them.]

I'd rather die...! Get out!

[comradely]

[ Whatever reaction Obito had been expecting, it certainly wasn't that. The one time he'd spoken to Elizabeth, she'd been kind and most helpful so to think someone would have such an averse reaction to her was surprising and puzzling. Not that he currently had the time to question it.

He was at a severe disadvantage here, he hadn't gotten the time to get adjusted to the fact he only had one eye now. His depth perception was gone and his coordination was, to put it mildly, rather poor. Close combat was something to be avoided as much as possible. So he had no choice but to jump back a bit to make sure that pick axe wouldn't come down on him as he quickly goes through the seals necessary for Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

It takes no time at all and he's creating a wall of fire between them and the appearing soldiers with the jutsu. It should buy them some time. ]

I'm just trying to help you, hurry up and get out of here!
