Who: All Draftees
What: Killing Third Party members and taking names
When: 7/26 - 7/31
Where: Sirry Crags
Summary: Mass-interaction for those out on the battlefield. Feel free to make team threads along with individual ones or however you wish. Action tags are fine here along with prose. For those plotting mischief, this is the place to do it.
Rating: R for the likely violence since killing will most definitely happen, but this is more for interactions during the battles.

[And early on the 26th everyone gets sent out. Thanks to Caesar's organization, most everyone has been placed in groups, even if some people plan on leaving their groups at some point. Check out this post for the details. If you haven't posted to this post and want your character on a team, please do so.]

Special note: Ignore the comments that said there would be 400, that has been retconned and we were told 1200 Third Party members from the start. Enjoy killing them off and taking names.

Special note 2: I asked Akai if any of the Third Party will be coming and dealing with their incapacitated allies, and they will. So assume that unless something is done to prevent this, those injured Third Party members may come back later healed and ready to attack again (though possibly not as effectively).

[Unlike Yuber, ν-13 was assigned to a team... but that's not to say she's all too happy about having to fight alongside others. Far from it, actually; with how her Drive works, fighting together with others can be problematic, to say the least.

By the third day, she's just about had enough of attempting to work together with a large group - later in the day, in fact, she's going to run off on her own... or, in less polite words, she's ditching her team.

From then on, it's really only a matter of time until she runs into the demon, and more likely than not, it'll happen sooner rather than later. It's high time that she checked how he's holding up, after all, meaning she'll be actively looking for him after wandering off from her team.

When the Murakumo finally does spot him, rather than actually move toward him or say something, she'll attempt to stay out of his sight for the time being, a slight distance away from him. She'll just... watch for a little while, mostly to see how he's holding up, before doing anything else.

...Of course, considering both her visor and the lights on her armor emit colored light - red and green, respectively - he should easily be able to spot her if he looks around, even if she is trying to stay out of sight.]

[She might not recognize him at first, with him requesting the black armor he used to use, he resembles both Kain and Golbez in a way. Interestingly enough, when he's wearing the armor, he prefers his hair loose which makes it harder to recognize him offhand.

But knowing Nu, she probably won't have a hard time figuring out which black armored person he is, since he will have demons nearby assisting him. And she'll find him and three female demons fighting a few Third Party members. The female demons also have wings, so they are working on knocking the enemy out of the air and into Yuber's range so he doesn't have to use magic as much.

The demons all seem to be holding up find. Nu will be able to tell that heavy plate mail does not impede Yuber's fast and fluid movements too much, he's just not exactly moving any faster than what she's seen in the barrier. It's obvious he's just as used to fighting that way as he is in the clothing he normally is seen in, but the effects of his kidnapping are likely affecting his speed and reflexes to some degree still. Not enough that he's having any obvious problems.

Once the four of them have dealt with the small group of TP members, Yuber will look around for more enemy and notice Nu then. She's at least easy enough for him to recognize and to know is not a danger in the least bit, unlike some of his supposed "allies". He'll give the demons orders to watch the skies for more enemy coming and go over to see Nu since he's sure she's coming to check on him.]

[She doesn't recognize him right away, but the demons do serve as a clue to his identity, at least. He did mention his ability to summon when they talked back at the quarters, after all.

...Though admittedly, she's... not entirely sure if she approves of his choice of summons. That aside, however, it looks like he's doing fine, which is definitely reassuring for her.

Once he notices her, ν-13 simply greets him with a small smile. She doesn't do anything else yet - she doesn't move from her spot, nor does she speak up. Talking can wait until he's a little closer. One thing is noticeable about her, however; despite all the fighting going on, she doesn't seem to be visibly injured at all. Even her armor doesn't seem to have sustained any damage beyond a few minor scratches. It's... a bit strange, frankly.]

[Her armor may look undamaged, but his is obviously not. It's quite old and looks like it's been through many battles though still in overall good shape, and that will be easily seen once he gets close enough.]

So you finally ditched those humans you were with. Will you be fighting with me then?

[Yeah, close-up, that's... rather difficult to miss. And warrants a little bit of concern from the Murakumo, but she's doing a good job at hiding that fact right now.]

Hmm... If you're okay with it~ [Fighting together with just him should be less troublesome than with a moderately sized group, that's for sure.

...Though she could certainly do without his summoned demons. Not that she's saying that out loud for the time being.]

[That's good, but it's at least easily explained. If she knows anything about armor, there's plenty of evidence to the fact that this armor is centuries old.]

I'd find it quite entertaining. I'll have my demons scout farther afield then. [Because that makes sense of course. Nu is a ranged fighter mostly, his ranged attacks are limited overall, so the demons were helpful to get the enemy out of the air, and also to warn of incoming enemy in case his reduced to human level reflexes missed any signs.

And he does give the orders to them, they go off in different directions to scout the area.]

[Which is why she's not bothering to bring it up. It still warrants some concern, but not enough to mention it.

She won't speak up again until the demons leave, though, instead opting to watch them for a moment. Once they fly off, though...]

...Couldn't you use something different as scouts? [That's not a slight hint of annoyance in her voice. Really. It's not.

...Okay, so maybe she does sound ever so slightly annoyed. It's... probably nothing, though.]

[He's confused at first as to why she would even sound annoyed, then he realizes, the demons are female. Could that be a bit of jealousy perhaps?]

I could if I want to have less effective scouts. They are the only type I can call upon who can fly like the enemy can. On this terrain and with these enemies, they are the best.

[Well... damn it. She'd really rather have them gone, but relying on the assistance of something less effective instead is... likely not a particularly good idea. It's a little too risky.]

Are you sure you can't call on anything just as effective as these? [An alternative would be nice, but if there isn't... she'll deal with it. Hopefully, anyway.

...Hmm.]

[Jealous much? Hey, at least he's sending them away to have time alone with you.]

I'm quite sure. That type of demon is the only one that comes close to my level of power and intelligence. [He's going to smirk, and she will be able to see that much even with all that armor.] Are you jealous of them or something?

[Typical male thinking of course, he thinks the fact that Nu is jealous is a good thing.]

[... ... ...What. Did he seriously just ask if she's jealous of—

...What.

... ... ... ]

[It actually takes a moment before she says something in response to that, but when she does, her tone is... suspiciously sweet.]

No way. Why would I be jealous of them? Geez...

[She just doesn't like them. That's all.

Though... dislike and jealousy aren't mutually exclusive, are they?]

[That pause said so much more than her words of course.]

Maybe because they are female demons? Unfortunately there are no males of their particular type to summon instead.

[ ... ]

...That's really not a good reason. [In other words? He probably guessed right.

Continuing to talk about this might... not be a particularly good idea, though. Even though she's still talking in a fairly sweet tone for the time being, that slight hint of annoyance is slowly creeping into her voice again. It's not too noticeable right now, but... it's still there. And that's probably not a good sign.]

[Of course he did, because it's a valid reason to be upset about female demons being near him, not that he's ever given a damn a female demons.]

Then why mention it? They are merely servants, not my equal like you are. [And it's probably a good time to change the topic, so he will do so now.] I can think of better ways to amuse ourselves now. Let's find some of the enemy to kill.

[Not that she knows that last part, unfortunately.

She's not going to respond to that question, though. Mainly because... she's honestly having trouble thinking of a way to answer that.]

All right. There should still be some of them nearby, right? [Considering how many of them she's seen so far, there's bound to be a few more in this area...]

[She should ask. He'd be quite blunt and direct about that if she actually asked.]

I doubt the humans have been able to wipe them out. There's also some idiots leaving them on the field alive.

[She should, all things considered. The thought's not really crossing her mind, though.

And that second statement? That's enough to earn him a small headtilt.]

...Why would they leave them alive? Aren't we supposed to get rid of them?

We are. Some idiots here seem to think that means leaving them unconscious.

...Why would they do that? [What's the point of sparing a threat that they've been told to eliminate? That's just... That makes absolutely no sense to her.]

I sure don't understand human thought processes. [And being given human weaknesses sure isn't helping him understand why humans can be stupid. He still has the ability to kill despite a human body. Why do humans feel the need to complicate matters so much?]

I really don't understand them, either. Isn't it normal to get rid of someone who tries to kill you? [Because that's pretty clearly what the Third Party members are doing. So why leave people like that alive when you can do something about them? That's just... stupid.]

That is the way things are in my world too. If you don't kill, you get killed. [Of course, Yuber is speaking of the actual world he comes from, not the human realm he was in most recently. Monsters and demons have a far more logical way of thinking.]

And that's how it should be, right? [Meanwhile, ν-13's basing what she knows from her world, too. If something's a threat to you, then you eliminate it. No need to complicate things by letting threats like that live.]

Unless you really want to die that badly, that is. [Really, that's about what Yuber thinks, humans must want to die badly because they do stupid things that make them less able to defend their already weak selves.]
