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 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.]
