Woods | 7/13

[shadow_possession]

[there almost seems to be more darkness in the woods lately, thanks to the Shadow Immortal's presence. he's hiding in the shadows and waiting, using his senses to feel out for any human life that approched his hiding spot.

Dainn had a plan in mind, but he needed the soldiers to come closer. he just needed to wait a little longer.]

Come on out...

[niteo_npc]

[A few of the soldiers - young, scared yet brave, trying to prove their worth - had split from their squad, taking to scouting the woods together in a small group of three. They whispered quickly when they needed to talk, searching all around in an effort to try and keep their guard up, though the fog made t difficult to see well.

They walked through the brush as quickly as possible, seeing nothing and expecting everything, but at the same time they weren't sure what to expect. They continued down the damp path, sticking close together with their rifles in hand, ready to shoot.]

[shadow_possession]

[humm...there's some life. well, time to get to work~

Dainn sends out a shadow claw and it runs across the ground away from him, snapping leaves and sticks as well as it can. he needs their attention drawn for just a little while and hopes that he could split up their groups into smaller ones and pick them off one by one. and if not...well, he had a plan for that. but no need to be flashy just yet.]

[niteo_npc]

What's that?!

It's getting closer!

[The soldiers took a couple of steps closer to each other, making sure to keep their backs together so that nothing would sneak up on them. They each at their guns at the ready, pointed at the ground while they frantically tried to search the visible ground for the source of the sounds coming at them.]

[shadow_possession]

[smart move. Dainn thinks for a minute before sending out a spread of Klorofolun. the balls of Dark Matter glow black and red in the fog and move closer to the soldiers. hopefully, no one is dumb enough to try and touch them, since they tended to...explode when something made contact with them.

in the meantime, that claw makes it's way as quietly as it could towards the group with the aim of dragging somebody off so Dainn could easily kill the unlucky person. but that all depends if the Klorofolun is enough of a distraction...]

[niteo_npc]

[Distracted they'll get. The small group of three takes several steps back once one of them spots the floating orb. Should one of the soldiers get dragged off, you can bet that there will be flailing and screaming from said soldier.

And possible help from the other two to keep their captured comrade from being taken wherever it is he's being dragged off to.]

ANYWHERE | ANY DATE DURING INVASION

[and_above_all]

[It was no secret to Kiriko that he was nothing like other men of his squad - his kind disposition was more hindrance than help during wartime, he had no thirst for blood, no ill will against another race. And still the man is full soldier today, determined to protect his men in a cause he believed in. A combat medic once more, Kiriko carries a rifle in his arms and supplies around his shoulders.

Kiriko darts from place to place - watching enemy and ally with equal attentiveness. He must grab for the cross and dogtags at his neck before he has the strength to draw his weapon. Taking careful aim at a Credintian soldier nearby, a few shots to the head regrettably clear his path forward.

There's a moment to catch his panicked breath - and he grips his medical bag and sets off like a shot towards a friend nearby. No matter how difficult it might be to get to them, or to save them... No one is dying on his watch.

It isn't long before he finds you, calling you by name as he approaches.]

-How are you holding up?!

Re: En route/anytime.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Raven had been patrolling, and while she'd hidden well in the fog, it was also more difficult for her to see. So while she'd been down on the ground, she'd gotten surrounded. Not that she was that worried, as she'd managed to erect a barrier in front of her to block the strikes, knocked out one group, and was now about to focus on the other.

Then she heard Doc's shout.]

Doc...stay back for a moment!

[Her hood billowed around her with her dark energy, eyes-white as she worked. The Dark Energy dome protected her as she gestured--more dark energy sweeping the other group off their feet and removing their weapons. Dropping that dome, she gestured again--murmuring her mantra beneath her breath, to knock the rest off their feet the same way.

It gave her room, and while the soldiers were regrouping, she levitated, shifting and focusing. A large dark-energy raven silhouette appeared, cawing, as Raven sent out energy from her soul-self and astral-form. Seeking to knock the soldiers out, unconscious, not to harm them.

Meanwhile doing her best to keep part of her attention on Doc, and where he was, since he was obviously coming to help.]

Re: En route/anytime.

[and_above_all]

[Kiriko's breath caught in his throat as he saw the soldiers advancing on her, and he hid himself, watching behind rubble. She was powerful... There was a reason Yukio had wanted all those who could use their magic to do so. To be caught in her power would be a horrifying experience for a soldier...]

[As they regrouped, a dark, protective fear stirred in Kiriko and he lifted the barrel of his rifle onto the top of his hiding place. He took his time aiming, until he could take out a few soldiers himself with a shot to the back of the head, even though Raven had shown she could strike most down harmlessly. What could he do? He could not stand to see any of his young friends be hurt, even if it meant killing.

But his trigger finger froze as he saw the "bird" swoop down, and he gasped.]

Raven...!

Re: En route/anytime.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Her astral form could be rather impressive, but Doc was not one she wanted to scare... Fortunately, she really was seeking to just knock out, unless forced otherwise, and with the retreat of her Corvus-form, she turned her attention to him. Still levitating, hidden in her blue cloak and cowl as always.]

I'm alright...I'm...sorry if I scared you.

[Floating closer as she spoke, she honestly hadn't meant to scare him, although she was glad to see he was armed, and he didn't seem hurt so far.]

Re: En route/anytime.

[and_above_all]

...No, no. [He sighs a bit shakily as he looks at the knocked-out soldiers. It was... just a bit of a shock. He knows it was necessary.]

I'm fine. I'm glad to see you're okay, too.

[He wishes he could see more of her face under that cloak and cowl, to see if she's getting tired...]

Re: En route/anytime.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Nope, no getting to see that Doc. When they're safe again, then she can pass out and rest. Not before, not when she can do a LOT, and do it well.]

I'm fine for now. I...know they're coming to kill us, but...I don't want to retaliate that way if I can avoid it.

[It's odd, how she seems almost ashamed of that. But Kiriko knows some of what she can do, and it can't be pleasant to have a psychic sense of Empathy, when you can sense your enemies emotions and they die.]

ANYWHERE | ANY DATE DURING INVASION

[bluedemonflames]

[Rin stands with his back to Kiriko, attention trained on the now fallen soldier not far from him. His shirt is blood stained from what looks to be the exit side of bullet wounds to the chest and he's covered in smears of blood and mud hear and there from fighting. His sword is drawn, blue fire running down the blade, and there are two flames on his head looking much like horns.

Hearing the friendly voice he turns towards the doctor, looking him over with concern. His features seem to have taken a turn towards the more demonic with his elongated canines and longer pointed ears.]

Could ask the same thing about you doc.

Re: ANYWHERE | ANY DATE DURING INVASION

[and_above_all]

[Kiriko is extremely concerned for Rin when he sees his damage from the fight, and is about to reach for his medical bag until Rin turns around. The shock causes him to fumble, dropping the pack onto the ground, and his jaw involuntarily drops. He tries to speak, and his accusation is more like a frightened squeal than a friendly greeting.]

You're a...!

[He swallows. Holy shit, not a good time to bring this up.]

I mean! Jesus... I'm fine! You look like hell!

ANYWHERE | ANY DATE DURING INVASION

[bluedemonflames]

Eh?

[He stares a second and then seems to remember just what he looks like. he holds his hand free of his swords out in front of him and shakes frantically.]

N-no! It's nothin'!

[He sheaths his sword and reverts right back to how he usually looks as he does so.]

Don't freak out, okay?!

Re: ANYWHERE | ANY DATE DURING INVASION

[and_above_all]

I-I'm not freaking out!

[He's freaking out.]

Er... Guess you d-don't need medicine, then!

[A pause. He remembers the time that Yukio summoned some sort of demons..]

Shit.. Shit! Does Yukio do this, too?!

Re: ANYWHERE | ANY DATE DURING INVASION

[bluedemonflames]

[He touches at one of the blood spattered holes in his shirt.]

It's already mostly healed. And I told you don't panic!

[Even though the sword is sheathed a few blue flames flicker across Rin's shoulders since he's so worked up.]

No! Yukio ain't like me! He didn't get it!

Various-places as needed/Various times.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Well, the order was to 'scare them'...and Raven was good at that.

She could sense them, with her Empathy--sense the determined resolute fear and anger, that made them feel this was necessary.

It wasn't so very difficult--even if it made her feel sad--to nudge those emotions just a tiny-bit, making troops jumpier. Any group she found, she hid herself and projected that fear, and suspicion, making them question each other and worry.

Adding to it, she used her powers--dark energy to create sounds, and shapes, always just out of sight and hidden.

For more hostile groups, she produced more--creatures and silhouettes and shapes that were more like her Father's minions--that made her feel inwardly sick and worried.

But she WAS going to defend her town, her home for now--regardless. She was going to protect those here she cared for, and she was her father's daughter--though she hated him and fought to not be like him--she knew she could be scary and thus she did her best.

Every group she found, she did her best to teach the meaning of terror, and to heighten divisions. Hidden as she could be, but if need be she fought and defended herself. Pushing herself to her limits.

Ye olde neighborhoods~ | Anytime

[shunshinoshishi]

The fog helped. He found himself using himself and his clone to run around towards the old neighborhoods under cover of the thick fog, the sounds of his feet taking off and sandals pattering all over the deserted and otherwise silent streets amplified-- just enough to hope that the sound would attract the attention of the soldiers and draw them in.

He dashed into one of the houses, kicking up cobweb-covered pots and pans on purpose. Having sprung up onto an old cupboard, he crouched, waiting in the shadows with his hand to the hilt of his tanto.

Watching, waiting, listening, hardly ever breathing, aware that the chances of coming out unscathed from those bullets was very, very low...

He couldn't let them get to the apartments. He had to make them believe there were people around here...

Uh... wandering at night! 7-17

[alma_karma]

[After several days of hiding out waiting in the apartment building, Alma couldn't take it anymore. It felt like everyone was out fighting and risking their lives but him... which he knew wasn't technically true, but he was too worried to count technicalities. He knew he should stay put. Knew he should wait for his friends to come back and for this all to be over, but... it was quiet now. Every day had brought fewer and fewer gunshots, fewer screams, and longer periods of quiet.

As night fell the boy gathered his courage and snuck quietly out of the apartment building. He wouldn't be gone long, or so he told himself. Just long enough to peek around in the places he last knew his friends to be.]

[beanstalk]

[Kanda was tired. He had stuck close to the apartments throughout the past week, and he would be lying if he said he wasn't injured. He had poorly patched up injuries from bullets, things that could be taken care after he was sure the soldiers were gone.

He hid out in a partially collapsed house and was on his way back to it for the night (he checked in on Alma in the mornings, before he went out to fight), when something - someone caught his eye.

It was Alma.]

What are you doing out here?

[alma_karma]

Yu? [Alma peered through the falling darkness, but the exorcist's voice was more than enough to confirm his identity and the boy quickly scrambled forward toward his friend.

Yu was okay! So far as he could see at that moment.]

I was worried...

[beanstalk]

[Kanda couldn't help but let out a breath, moving to kneel down to Alma's height. One thing he knew was going to happen was he was going to get a hug. A tight, worried, Alma hug. (The pain was always worth his hugs.)]

We're all fine, if not a little roughed up. I promise.

[alma_karma]

[Kanda's prediction proved accurate, the boy immediately bounding over to wrap his friend in a tight hug.]
