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).

[Hm... So he still has enough energy to dodge. Troublesome for her, of course, but this wouldn't be particularly interesting if he weren't able to dodge an attack that simple. It's not all that bad, really.

The Murakumo doesn't give an audible response to what just happened - she does seem to be mumbling something to herself briefly, but it's too quiet to hear. Instead, she opts to attempt the same trick again... in a way. She'll be using her Drive to cause two more of the blades to appear. This time, however, rather than shooting them at Ratatosk, they actually appear behind him, though the sound they cause should once again give them away in time for him to dodge.

This time, she's following that up with something different, however; the second blade is followed by what looks like a sawblade appearing on the ground behind Ratatosk, spinning toward him.

The reason she's using that particular trick? She's attempting to lure Ratatosk over to her. Even if ν-13 herself is more of a ranged fighter...

...Well, it's not as if she's on her own here.]

[And with Ratatosk having his sword ready to attack, that shows that the demon should get ready also because an attack on Nu is quite imminent.

So Yuber will start chanting Searing Bolt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dtzkzBpMRk#t=5m22s) to assist Nu and ensure he does not get in her way, because he of all people knows how much those attacks can hurt and how tricky they can be to dodge. His own magic plus hers should make it nearly impossible for the annoying traitor to avoid being hit at all. Considering that without the power cap, the magic has homing abilities too, it will be very hard indeed.]

[He may have the energy to dodge, but that energy is rapidly running out as he is forced to leap aside yet again, the swords passing so close that he can feel the breeze from their flight on his face. He's not about to fall for the same trick twice.

What he isn't expecting, however, is that sawblade, and the back part of his blue tunic ends up as a casualty as he narrowly manages to stumble out of its way and closer to v-13, just as she wants-- of course, he doesn't know that yet. But he'll take this as an opportunity to launch a Demon Fang at her, hoping to catch her off-guard while she's attacking. Ratatosk can do ranged fighting as well...

... and that's about when the first bolt of lightning hits him and he lets out a furious curse. He didn't even see her casting, where the hell did that come from?]

[v-13 doesn't even bother to attempt to dodge or block the Demon's Fang; on one hand, because she admittedly didn't expect it, and on the other because... it honestly strikes her as something that'll cause only insignificant damage. And she's right - beyond briefly making her flinch when it hits her, it doesn't seem to have any effect on her.

When the Searing Bolt spell hits Ratatosk... she can't help but to smile a little, even if something about the smile is just off. She of all people knows full well how much lightning - or rather, electricity in general - can hurt, but seeing someone who, from her point of view, actually deserves it being struck by it is... oddly entertaining.

Once the Murakumo recovers from the attack, which, strangely, takes surprisingly little time, she dashes back just a little...]

[...And starts saying what almost sounds a little like an incantation of sorts.]

Restriction number 666 released. Dimensional interference field deployed... Murakumo unit, activated. [Though there's an audible whirrr as she speaks, the incantation seems to have no actual visible effect - aside from the sound, nothing seems to be happening. ν-13 doesn't seem to be attacking again just yet, either.

...The words likely mean nothing to Ratatosk, but Yuber, on the other hand, might recognize it if he still remembers his fight with Ragna during the previous draft. Minor differences aside, it's very similar to the one Ragna used while activating his Azure Grimoire.]

[And Yuber is going to take advantage of the slight lull while Nu is doing that. And yes, he does recall what Ragna did, and that's making the demon quite amused because he remembers just how much of a pain in the butt Ragna became after that.

He can guess Nu was wanting Ratatosk closer to her, so he's going to assist with that further by teleporting behind the boy to strike him with his two swords.]

[This is not Ratatosk's day, not at all. His heart thudding erratically thanks to that Searing Bolt, he has to force himself forward in an attempt to attack v-13 while she chants what seems to be some sort of spell. But that lightning bolt has done a number on him and his next Demon Fang goes wide, not even posing a threat to her at all. He's gearing up to try it again when a sudden shift in the air behind him alerts him to Yuber's presence.

This time he's too slow to do more than twist halfway around before the swords strike him and cut deep gashes into his back-- he's probably lucky he was at least trying to dodge or those blows may very well have been fatal. Despite the injuries, he's going to strike out at Yuber, though the blow is wild, uncontrolled and easy to avoid.]

[Unlike with Ragna, though, the incantation has no visible effect on the Murakumo. There's no black aura, and it doesn't seem to be affecting her movements at all - her speed is the same as always.

The actual effect it has on her will become obvious soon enough, however; while Yuber is keeping Ratatosk at bay, she dashes back a little further, and when Ratatosk attempts to strike the demon, she'll use the opportunity to use her Drive once more. Different from before, however, is that she's not merely summoning two of the blades in rapid succession, but two pairs of them in rapid succesion.

They're not aimed directly at the boy, however. Rather, she's trying to use the blades to intercept the attack from a distance - though they don't stay solid for very long, it would be enough to block an attack if it hits them. Of course, th blades travel very fast, so the time window for this is rather small. If anything, there's a very high chance ν-13 will mess the timing up and hit one or both of the two others rather than merely intercepting the blow.

...It's an admittedly risky move, and likely to fail, but somehow, she doesn't seem to care about that. She... doesn't seem to be thinking this through particularly well right now.]

[And Ratatosk's blow is met by a sword quickly getting in it's way. Yuber will be using that sword to push Ratatosk's own sword away and then quickly striking with the other sword.

And while he does this, he will keep an eye on what Nu is up to so that he ensures he doesn't get hit by it. He knows how she fights, but not in this form and he knows her attacks hurt a lot.]

[Ratatosk makes a brief effort to shove at Yuber to force him into the path of those blades while their swords are locked together, but when that doesn't work, he again tries to twist out of the way. But he's slowed down by exhaustion and his existing injuries, and he isn't quite fast enough to avoid one grazing his side and slicing open another wound there. With a bitten off curse, he stumbles back, clutching at the injury. This is not looking good for him...]

[Meanwhile, rather than resort to using the same trick again, ν-13 is going to use the opportunity to dash a little bit closer to Ratatosk and launch her eight normal swords at him. It's a relatively fast move, and no doubt one that will seriously hurt if it connects, but...

...On the other hand, it also leaves the Murakumo open for a little bit, seeing as she uses the same swords to block, and it'll take a brief moment for them to reappear in the air near her after the attack. Until that happens, she's not going to be able to guard against attacks quite as easily.]
