Band Together Everyone!

[teachingpeace]

Who: Nagato and anyone else who wants to fight the corrupt police. Or be rescued from said police.
What: Freedom fighters unite!
When: Day nine, August 10th, of the event.
Where: All over Luceti, starting closest to Old Luceti.
Summary: Nagato has been keeping an eye out for anyone who has had a certain look in their eyes the last few days, and has decided to approach and unite them to fight against those who would try to catch or hurt them. Anyone with powers is welcome to catch his eye mid-fray too!
Rating: PG-13? Possibly higher depending on violence.

Nagato had, after the initial disaster of his morning, seen the veritable explosion of chaos all over the city when his senses had gotten a bit... ambitious. Still, it had been an opportunity, one that meant that he could more quickly hunt down those who would be in the most danger, either to themselves or others, and try to help. If that happened to mean being... shockingly good at taking out opposing forces to get to the people who needed said help... well he felt bad about that, but his instincts were practically screaming that this is just how it worked.

Of course, priority people to reach would be family, but anyone he found that didn't need a rescue first would immediately start getting directed to where their skills could be of use to protect people who needed protecting. Another bonus of the little sensory trick he'd picked up.

So go forth, bash heads, and be heroes!

[It was a gamble, but he needed to see things as they really were. The obvious fight was one thing, but there was something else lingering below the surface that he knew he could understand if he just found a lead. Barnaby needed an answer. It was worth the risk to him.

The policemen that flanked him would pose a problem later, but he had already calculated that risk. He could throw them off of him and slam them into the concrete if he chose, but somehow he knew that he needed to wait. His strange talent for knocking through brick walls had a limit that he understood on instinct, and he didn't want to be caught unawares when he was unable to use it

It was only a matter of time.

Later

Barnaby is riding on a wave of instincts that he didn't recognize. He had been for the last two days, a slow awareness that had coalesced into a veritable blaze of emotions that left confusion in its wake. It fueled his determination to find the source of the distortion, however difficult it may be.

But it was empty. Even in his will to survive.

Because of his limits, he's not found easily. Instead he hangs back, looking for the best means to strike to the most effect. His actions felt strange to him, as if he were missing something vitally important...

Like someone by his side.]

[teachingpeace]

[Things had been chaos, and while he'd been handling the various groups, he wasn't going to fool himself by thinking that anything was remotely near cleared up at this point. Instead, he was tracking down everyone who even hinted at familiar at this point, finding himself getting more and more adept with his abilities.

Barnaby was oddly harder, given that he hadn't properly... well, felt him before, but he finally located him, after the man had broken loose and gone into hiding, taking care to not startle him lest whatever the abilities the man had came to bore.]

I see you've kept safe.

[tsunderebunny]

It wasn't hard.

[He just needed to time his strikes properly. With a five minute cap on his powers and a long lag time between, he needed to be careful. Being recaptured for a third time was far from ideal for him.

Barnaby glanced over at Nagato, not in the least surprised by his approach as he was by his presence.]

What about you?

[teachingpeace]

I've had exceptionally good luck... though that might be in part due to the fact that every time I turn around I'm discovering something else I can do. Most of which is quite painful or shocking to the recipient. [He grimaced, then shook his head.]

Though it's making battler a simpler proposition.

[tsunderebunny]

[He glanced over, and tried to keep his own temper and judgements clear. It was hard, but he needed to be able to think?]

Then, what all have you discovered?

[teachingpeace]

Information-wise I've gotten a lead on a few points about what set this all off. Something based in the asylum, though I don't know much more than that, and there's a group who have found weaponry and intend to get it. [He shook his head.]

Personally... control over gravity, being able to fling elements at people, being able to take, feel, and I suspect give though I haven't tried, lifeforce from people, being able to transform pieces of myself... and my vision has drastically improved. I think there is likely more, but if there is I haven't done it yet.

And you? Certainly you weren't left out?

[tsunderebunny]

[Barnaby barely blinked at the newfound information. Somehow he wasn't terribly surprised that someone had found weapons in the interrim, but the fact that the asylum might have catalyzed the change was deeply interesting for him. It was something to look into later.

Nagato's description of his newfound powers, on the other hand, were deeply surprising.]

...Mine are nothing that dramatic. I'm just able to kick down walls for a few minutes at a time.

[It was a brief description, but there was too much going on in his mind to offer a full explanation. A part of him still couldn't believe that he was barely scraped by a bullet fired at point-blank range.]

[teachingpeace]

Mine have... fits and starts. There are so many things popping up I'm honestly having a bit of trouble keeping track. [He grimaced, then shook his head, waving it off. Carefully. In a direction that wouldn't incite his abilities into some kind of attack or something.]

Something as simple as kicking down walls wouldn't be as helpful in the current situation though, so I'll simply be thankful... and if you like, I would be happy to get you to your next destination in this mess.

[tsunderebunny]

[Barnaby considered himself lucky indeed, even if he did have some distinct limits that he was starting to understand. His powers had their uses, but in a fairly narrow frame. He needed to be careful.

He lifted his brows at Nagato's suggestion.]

What do you mean by that?

[teachingpeace]

I can run over the rooftops and my ability to jump is now... impressive... and I would be happy to direct you anywhere you need to go. I can sense where allies, enemies, and unsided innocents are now without too much trouble, or locate people I've made contact with since these abilities started.

I could also just accompany you wherever you're trying to go.

[tsunderebunny]

[that was...very interesting information.]

I'm not sure where I'm going right now, but I am keeping track of their movements. You'd be surprised at how useful it is to just stand back and watch.]
