lucetilogs | Mission: Burying the Past in Zompania

[The razing of the buildings was going faster than Karis expected, but then again, after all that happened here? It shouldn't of been a surprise that they went down quickly. But because of this, she would have to move often to other places, as to make sure she doesn't accidentally blast someone with her magic, the toppling structures were dangerous enough as is.

The sound of the two Pokemon bashing into things caught her attention, and she would stray toward it, just to see who it was. Her somber expression did not change when she spotted Red, though kept her stride casual upon approaching him.] How goes the demolition?

[ The building they're at isn't a tall one, and the front of it is already gone when Karis makes her way over. The roof tips forward with its lower support being demolished, and the pokémon approach its collapse from the outer walls that still stand.

Red looks to Karis as she's with them, a face that he knew would be around and, actually, one he was fine with seeing. Right now wasn't a bad time at least. ]

Okay. We'll move onto the next one soon.

[ Speaking of demolition. Snorlax needs only to use his fists, each blow break and shattering everywhere shards of break, while from the top of Venusaur's flower shoots out grass-type beams - smaller than solar beam though with the same idea - that leaves what looks like just a hole but, when she grabs it with her vines, it falls apart with ease.

Good thing they're wearing suits. Pikachu turns his head from the dust, while Red just needs to wipe down the screen of the specks on the face. As what's left of the building crumbles inward the two pokémon step backwards.

So, speaking of demolition... ]

Can your magic bring them down?

[It's quite the sight, watching the two Pokemon bring down the building, Karis could just watch them in action all day, but there was much that needed to be done.

Karis nodded at Red's question.] Quite easily with a channeled fireball. Though it would be best to be quite far before I start tossing them again.

[ He thinks about asking, but he can guess pretty easily from how she says it. A big explosion, clearly. Red sort of wants to see, but at the same time, being here and asking that like a little kid...

His pokémon finish quickly with the building right then, the remains usable for nothing else but materials, maybe. Snorlax doesn't wait for any command, going on to the next building beside it and punching a hole right into the wall. ]

We could work on this street together. You could take a building away from us. [ Then hopefully the issue of being too close wouldn't be a problem. ]

Sounds like a plan. [She takes a glance toward Snorlax, watching the Pokemon begin on another building before turning in the opposite direction. Watch carefully Red, fireworks are about to fly.

While moving away, Karis pulls out a small marble from the pouch that's carried outside of the suit and rolls it between her fingers. Once at a safe distance, the marble then crumbles into dust while bright flames begin to wrap around her arm. She winds it back before swinging it forward, but immediately stops her arm once the palm of her hand is facing one of the distant buildings. In that moment, the spell is fully casted, and a large explosion sounds off right inside the building. Burning debris flies in all directions, some even landing quite close to other buildings, very few in them. She watches as the building crumbles, and eyes what didn't get torn apart by the initial blast, but instead was now slowly burning into ashes.]

[ He does watch, neck turning to only at first take what he means to be a glimpse, but she has his interest by the marble. For a second he forgets about her use of items to control her power, and mistakes it to be something more significant than what it is. That goes when it burns away.

Viewing an arm on fire should be more shocking than the interesting that it is, but their practises with flames safely covering the body takes away any worry that might've been there.

Venusaur and Snorlax both stopped in their places to watch, no particular expression on Venusaur's face than the usual, but Snorlax ends up turning back to his building with a grunt. Red, however, shows more of an impressive appearance on his face - and he is impressed.

A power like that... think of what it could do.

But any moment to spare to make a comment is taken when Snorlax roars out in his lungs, fists out and clenched tightly. Venusaur gets the right idea to begin backing out of the hole made by their previous building, growling out a word of warning to the other pokémon. But whatever, he'll do what he wants.

Which - while his attitude is always apparent when not sleeping - he shows his intent through a glowing in one fist. He backs up the arm, even taking a step back as an amount of power accumulates into that one area. A not well-trained attack, but that won't stop Snorlax from using it right now.

It works at least when he sends the punch straight into the side, and it sends the whole building exploding inward - mostly. Unfortunately, the roof has other ideas, an obvious sight to anyone watching. Venusaur's preparing to light up an energy ball towards it, while Red - who has to force himself to stop moving forward - takes that clever(???) idea of trying to slow down the rubble from reaching his pokémon, calling out his name.

-- hey karis wanna do anything before i tl;dr this tag any more ]

[~~omfg~~]

[The sound of Snorlax's roar catches Karis's attention, and she turns to see the Pokemon throw his fist into the building.] Did he just...

[By the archmages. Well the roof didn't like that, and Karis would quickly find her feet moving her toward Red and his Pokemon, almost out of instinct.]

[ And there

goes the roof on top of Snorlax's head.

There's not enough to bury him, and Snorlax's noggin' bobbing to getting knocked can be seen through the dust.

But let's not fear, for when that dust does settle, the pokémon will be standing on his feet. Still, until he makes loud intakes, one after another, after another...

And he sneezes down into the dust, kicking up more. UGH. Time for him to rub his nose and kick his feet out of the rubble and get onto the street, ready to sneeze again. ]

Snorlax! [ At least Red was covered in a suit and didn't have to worry about the dust. He pats down his pokémon's large stomach, his complaints echoing in his overalls. ] Don't do that, okay? We're not just here for a day, so be more c--

[ And with Red knocking up the dust in Snorlax's face, the pokémon releases his sneeze over his trainer.

....sssiiigghh. ]

[Karis stops, safely away from the sneezing Pokemon, sighing in relief that he was okay. She starts to laugh rather hard after Snorlax sneezes on Red.] Oh archmages!

[ Wow, so not funny. Red rubs the gross spit down off his suit, which actually helps it for the most part for all that's been clinging onto it. But ugh. Pokémon. Pokémon.

But once he's not so focused on that or the fact he pokémon recklessly pushed up the building, Karis's amusement does cause a pinch of embarrassment and amusement in one. ]

He's such a show off... [ heh. Snorlax doesn't even care, coughing into his hand and then waving it as he goes to the next building, Venusaur growling at him as she follows. ]

He can also take a hit too it seems. [Which was good, considering if it was anyone else who got caught underneath that roof...] I kinda wish I could off you a towel, but... [She doesn't exactly carry one on her.]

[ Snorlax pats the top of his head, but EHH. EHHH. ]

It's okay. [ She does make him try to brush himself off more though. ] It's not going to be any good out here anyway.

[ Oh, but speaking of items, and that Red's been reminded of Karis's way of controlling her magic. ] Have you got enough stuff for your magic? I've seen weapons laying around.

I believe so. [She pats her bag.] Though I sometimes snag some disposable stuff from inside the buildings before I take them down, just in case. [So far she hasn't had any worry about running out, but the mention of weapons does intrigue her.] What sort of weapons?

Swords? [ He looks back on a sreet, trying to recall what he saw on the way through it. ] Um... axes too I think. Knives...

[ He mumbles by the last word, thinking about the littered weapons here and there. It wasn't that long ago - didn't feel that long ago, standing back in these streets - that they were being used to strike people down -- bashed into his pokémon too.

Were there any here now in rubble of what was around them now? He eyes more closer, both lost in some curiosity and lost in his thoughts. ]

Blades, essentially. [Which she wasn't all that interested in.] Stuff that I really don't know how to use, well, not unless I use them for channels, but they'll only last for one spell. [Unfortunately.]

[ He hums, but his interest is a little elsewhere a while longer before it comes back to Zompania. Venusaur growls out a call to help with that, she and Snorlax already at another building. They're going to work on this, is that cool? Cool.

Okay. Hi Karis. ]

Do you know how to use a weapon?

[Red, what sort of question is that?] Of course. I deal primarily with firearms. [She'd throw in magic in that case too, but that should of been a given already.]

[ Well of course the magic is a given, but. Firearms, firearms -- oh, right. ]

Firearms is the guns, right? I know magic is a weapon, but...

[ But it wasn't exactly what he meant. ]

That's right, though I deal with pistols mainly. [She's used others, but feels far more comfortable with pistols than anything else.]

[ ... ] And pistols a firearm too? One without magic?

[ Firearms is still such a new thing to this boy...! ]

[He's getting it though!] You're correct on the first one. Pistols can still have magic, but must be infused with it while having the right parts to it. Most of the time though, they lack any arcane properties.

But do you use them with magic? [ There's a point to this, really! ] I know the shift hunters, the dog looking creatures, they're not really affected by magic, so just using it would be dangerous... at least, none of my pokémon do any damage to them if they attack them with certain attacks, and Pikachu can't really do anything to them at all.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It all depends on the situation really. There will be times where a bullet on it's own won't be enough, so I incorporate magic just to give it that little push to where it will be enough. Other times, it may help scare off the enemy. [But that rarely works, at least, from her experience.] If the situation at hand doesn't need magic, then don't use it. [Though she has a habit of breaking that guideline.]

[ Hmm... ]

Have you ever faced off against a shift hunter and used invisibility to try and get away?

I've...never tried that before actually. But I think that if a shift hunter is close enough, it would break you out of invisibility even after you cast it. [She wasn't sure if that was the case or not, but it was better to assume so and not take the risk of finding out.]
