Mass-Interaction in Desset

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Who: Draftees.
What: FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES... or wander around. idfk.
When: Anytime this week.
Where: Desset City
Summary: Mass-interaction post in the city for the poor souls who've been drafted.
Rating: Anywhere from PG to R.

[With permission from the mods, I've gone ahead and put up this... post... for everyone who was interested in actually threading in the city. You can either prose or write in first-person; totally up to you. Actually threading a fight with the Third Party is also optional. Just keep in mind that if you do you'll have to be the one controlling the enemy's actions and whatnot. If you're not sure how to go about that, just remember the information they've provided us with. They're not very tough, but if you still need an idea with how they fight, just read up on this a bit. Please do remember that the enemies we're fighting are weaker compared to the ones previously fought, though. |D;

But yeah. Mass-interaction, guys. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.]

They said that if nothing was done about them, we'd be attacked again. S-So I wanted to help protect the village.

[He gives the owl a look. The owl tilts its head, almost innocently.]

I suppose that's why you need a saddle for riding something like an owl. At least you weren't dropped into the midst of enemies. [Trying to be a little optimistic here.] How many cultists did you see?

[And Yuber is just as determined to kill Kain. Except he's killed plenty, alone. He doesn't work well in groups, not even with the evil trio of Windy, Neclord and himself (though they did indeed make an evil trio).]]

[But to Yuber this was just a pathetic attempt. Of course, spears did have a disadvantage of being slow since they are larger weapons,. Yes, they can do a lot of damage, but they have to hit first, and considering Yuber's sheer skill at dodging things, that just isn't happening now. He's out of the way quickly and hitting Kain with both swords again.]

[But hurting Sora was so fun. It was just a shame the boy didn't die.

And Yuber definitely sees Ted, of course he's not outright attacking, he just wants to taunt Ted because it is too fun and he so rarely gets the chance. He's going to move towards Ted at a slightly faster pace than the boy is moving at to slowly gain ground on him.

And the demon is smirking, though it may be hard to see.]

[... He honestly didn't believe the Malnosso, but then, Noel was a lot nicer than him when it comes to these things.]

You're a good kid.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Funny thing about that... [Coughs. That was not exactly an experience he'd rather remember. Good thing it was only about two or three of them.]

Quite a lot. I spent most of my time avoiding them though.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[Oh, damn you. Ted notices that smirk and pauses, because running would just make Yuber chase him faster and really, if he was going to be caught, he might as well not exhaust himself beforehand.]

What do you want?

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Kain's not going to make this TOO easy of course, and he still has it in his delusional mind that he can still emerge victorious from this.]

[He makes a hateful expression and then again tries- only partially successfully- to block the swords. Kain's hit again, this one to the side. He's going more on the defensive for a bit now. But he's also gotten a bunch of battle items while in his room, too, and he takes out a Speed Drink to get a Haste effect on himself.]

[Another jump! He comes zooming in faster than the last one... though not nearly as accurately due to injuries still throwing him off.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He pauses at the way Ted trails off.] ...You were actually dropped amongst some of them?

[chikaidestroyer]

Have they been recalling you to rest? [He has to inquire, since he is trying to figure out how the Malnosso decide to remove people from the battlefield.]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[He nods, sighing.] That mostly explains why one scroll was destroyed.

[chikaidestroyer]

You still have arrows, at least? [Not that Ted was likely to have used them if he had been running.] We will likely be out here for awhile longer. [...An understatement; he's still got at least nine hours before he'll be recalled to rest.]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[He nods, showing him his quiver. He had used some at a few points, hence there was an obvious space where some arrows could have occupied, but otherwise it was mostly full.]

It's a little more quiet on the field than I would have expected though. [Considering they were supposed to be up against 200 enemies. He stretches his leg experimentally, trying to see if it still hurts. He lets a little hum of approval when he didn't feel any pain, just a bit of stiffness.]

[chikaidestroyer]

It's a very large city. We're used to 400 residents in the confines of the village. [He gestures vaguely.] It isn't anything like how we usually fight our battles.

I can't say that I like it.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't doubt it. You're used to something more large-scaled, I take it?

It probably doesn't help that people basically scattered themselves all over the place either. [No organization whatsoever. Not that he did any better getting lost though.] No plans, no formation... This isn't any different from going out on the field to fight monsters. [Only they weren't really monsters.]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

No, I'm here to give you a well-deserved ass kicking! [Ragna slams his fist into the palm of his other hand to deliver some emphasis here.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[... ;;]

Still, they really shouldn't have sent people who didn't want to go. [...] Have you been okay out here, Ted? [She... actually doesn't see Ted as the fighting type.]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I've.. had some encounters. [Because that stupid owl dropped him from who knows how high in the middle of a group of enemies. Yeah, fun times.] It's nothing I couldn't handle though.

[chikaidestroyer]

[dryly] Much more large-scaled.

The Malnosso don't make it any easier for us, since we aren't being recalled or sent out at the same time. I haven't returned to our quarters until long after nightfall. [pause] Have you noticed any patterns yourself?

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Not much, to be honest, aside from the fact that I normally get back to the quarters by midnight. [He looks around for a moment, habit mostly, trying to see if there were any nearby enemies.]

We should probably move to a less visible area.

[Locked]

[chikaidestroyer]

[It's awhile later before Albert responds, as he can't stop to watch the video out in the open. He looks at what Derek has been recording once he has taken cover in a building. The recording of the him reaching the edge of the city and its barrier is interesting.]

So the barrier is up even with the cultists here.

[chikaidestroyer]

[He files away that information until he can talk to other draftees, then follows Ted's gaze.]

Indeed. We're already more visible than necessary. [...A pointed look at the giant owl.]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

... Couldn't you leave him behind?

[chikaidestroyer]

I could. He provides decent transportation at times. [Another wry look as he considers what Ted is saying.] ...Yes, we can certainly leave him behind. [If the bird doesn't try to follow.]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Not now. [Since they were all out here, and he supposed the owl was an ally.] I was thinking he might be safer in the quarters at least, but if he can be used for transportation... I suppose it's a good reason as any here. [Definitely not a bad reason to bring him around at least.]
