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).

[Vash can be found mostly sticking to his group. He’s taking his challengers by knocking out or crippling them, although he may fall behind at points in order to stop and help any Third Party members that may have possible fatal injuries. Anyone who may get the great idea to finish off any of the people he’s stopped will find a warning shot being fired their way.

Not only that, but he will probably be getting on the bad side of most of his teammates. When he doesn’t have his hands full fighting he will be doing his best to stop other characters from landing killing blows. Not that he’s doing it all the time, just when he can, and he won’t be hurting his teammates to stop them.

When the fighting slows and they get a break he is going to be mourning the lost. Literally standing there and quietly crying over the slaughter. So there are plenty of times to yell at him or even people outside of his party to find him if they really want to.]

(ooc: I’m open to conflict and Vash being injured. Not looking to kill him, but otherwise feel free to go nuts at him. I also realize not everyone wants a pacifist getting in their way so I figured I’ll try to keep all of Vash’s ‘heroic’ acts here. Or feel free to send me a message if you’d like him elsewhere.)

[Rydia will remain with her group at all times, if it can be helped. She's quick and decisive when it comes to their enemies, blasting them with lightning, ice, and additional spells. Even that whip sees usage, mostly in hopes of seeing its paralysis-magic take effect.

Despite her power, Rydia isn't reckless. She'll be hanging in the 'back row' so as to use her magic unhindered, while protected by those more adept at physical fighting. Overall, she takes care to remain relatively close to Cecil, Golbez and Kain (when the latter isn't in the air), though won't let any of them hinder her from doing her part.

Since her healing magic doesn't work outside the barrier, she'll be relying on Cecil's meager healing skills or the group healer, though will do her part with actual first aid, should their magic run out. It's also inevitable that she'll become wounded in the fighting, but she'll behave long enough to get healed. Whenever there's a lull in the action, she'll be doing things like encouraging others to rest for a moment, pass around rations, and so on. As much as she can, Rydia will want to take care of everyone.]

[China will be ~~stalking~~ following any members of his team, presumably from an area of higher elevation, his rifle slung over one shoulder. Where it's needed (and wherever he sees team members stopping to fight in close-range), he'll be dropping into a crouch and sighting through the scope to assist in taking down any of the Third Party members from a distance.

During any moments of downtime, he'll be stopping to sit on the nearest rock to check and reload his rifle and pistol to assure they're still in working order, expression unreadable. He may also slide down the slope to check on any teammates close by, but will eventually be returning to a higher spot to keep an eye out.]

[OOC: Members of Team A(wesome) feel free to post here with your individual threads or kickstart any plots you have with other characters! Same goes for anyone interacting with them. 8|b]

[Golbez is one of those unique fighters who is halfway between frontline combatant (due to his heavy armor and the sheer force his punches pack) and rearguard mage (due to his arsenal of deadly magic spells). He's positioned himself at pretty much the direct middle to take advantage of both of those states, giving him room to prep a few spells of his own while allowing him to strike directly at any Third Party members who get too close to the rear fighters.

This also places him at possibly the ideal spot to bellow orders and be heard by all of his team, which he will be doing. Whether a character listens to his commands is entirely up to the player, of course, but it's worth keeping in mind that Golbez A: is very large, B: possesses a deep, authoritative and commanding voice, and C: does seem to know what he's doing.]

[High above the skies of the combat zone, a lone fighter jet (http://gallery.top-aviation.net/albums/userpics/10009/AC4_SU37.jpg) tears through the sky. It's impossible to miss the loud roar it makes in the sky, ripping the air into contrails around its wings. It moves faster than sound, but maneuvers gracefully and quickly, swooping down like a bird of prey, launching barrages of gunfire, missiles of various sorts, and bombs. Very little stands to oppose it up in the sky and any Third Party members who attempt to draw in close to this plane are shredded by its vulcan gun.

Thirteen has kept his journal in the cockpit. The lack of issued radios make no other communication viable, though this will do in a pinch. For the moment, he's prowling the skies looking for prey, and he opens up a voice line.]

Yellow 13, skies are currently sterile. Any groups that need air support, request it on this line. Group D, report status. Over.

[Yuber was not assigned a team, because for one he didn't attend the planning session, and for another, Caesar knew better than to place the demon with others that he could not work with.

He isn't going to confine himself to any one area, in fact he plans on being in all of them during the week and concentrating on the areas that have the most to kill.

Expect to see a few demons with him, he has a few he can summon who are perfectly capable of flight to aid him, though he will only do that if the numbers of Third Party are high in an area, otherwise he'll just use magic to knock them out of the air and kill them on the ground.

And anyone who leaves TP people knocked out and not dead can expect that he will kill them if they are not off the battlefield.

But otherwise, anyone who has fought him before, or fought with him may notice that while he's still quite strong, there is something that seems off. He's not dodging quite as easily as he normally would for one thing. Not that it is preventing the demon from taking out many TP members, but it is causing him to get injured more readily and actually need the rune scrolls he requested.

Oh, and he's wearing the same black armor (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/99049477/23591872) he wore last draft, which is at least helping keep his injuries down for all that his senses are at a human level rather than his normal inhumanly good senses. He also now casts a shadow and can be more easily tracked down than before.]

[Toph will be sticking close to her teammates, counting on them to warn her of airborne attacks and to keep them from reaching her. She'll be using her GODLIKE EARTHBENDING POWERS to get the wounded or crippled enemies on the ground, immobilizing them so others can kill them, or burying large quantities of them under the rock and crushing them. Her face is kind of pale, if you want to take a close look, and she seems to be a little distracted, but still keeps fighting.

If it seems like your character needs help in the shelter variety, prepare for a rock shield from Toph.]

[On any given day of the week, Caesar can usually be found chilling at rest stop #5, also known as the base of operations. It wasn't really the best place to hang out, given the, uh... mess. All the blood and other signs of previous struggle here were a little unsightly. But hopefully it wouldn't bother the others too much.

What's Caesar doing there? Generally keeping himself busy. Looking over that map for the millionth time, keeping track of progress, and definitely not napping. He might head outside of the building every once in a while, but he won't go very far, for obvious reasons.

Most people have a place to be, so if Caesar catches someone where they shouldn't be, he might be disappointed if they don't have a good excuse. :| Still, if someone needs him for something, he's here.

And if you don't want to bug Caesar? Have fun relaxing in a place where people were very obviously killed not long ago. :|;]

(ooc: And- feel free to use this as a general thread for all Team G/base/whatever interactions as you please!)

[Out on the battlefield, Sonic is hard at work, cruising around and using his quills and his speed to take down as many enemies as he can.

He is, however, keeping his eyes peeled for any teammates. After all, he's used to teamwork.]

[Litchi's sticking as close to her teammates as possible. She might not be the fastest fighter -- certainly not capable of keeping up with the jets, speedy hedgehogs, and racers in her team -- but she's really pulling out all the stops to make sure her teammates stay safe.

This is the power of the Boundary.

Once her bo staff mows through a solid line of Third Party soldiers like so many straws, and once the glaring blaze of an All Green attack has died down, Litchi pauses for a breath. Time to see if everyone else is still alright...

...even if her body is beginning to really ache.]

[The battle finds Presea more or less doing her own thing, though she sticks close to anyone capable of healing for obvious reasons. She's spoken to Raine about their "objective" - to defeat the Third Party - and is on the offensive, though takes to running off when a large group of them comes her way. Presea's not stupid, and would rather not risk her life in a war she did not volunteer for.

She's also taking this moment to test out her regained strength. Team mates and those of Team A may be able to see her swinging her enormous axe at Third Party members one by one, each hit doing more and more damage as she increases the "output percentage" of her Cruxis Crystal's strength.

As for damage, she sustains a few cuts from the bladed weapons they carry, but doesn't seem to flinch in the slightest. Being unable to feel can sometimes to that, and the injuries are minor. Once the battles are over, she'll be in her room, sharpening her axe for the next day, and tending to her wounds if they had not been healed already.]

[If there was any sort of strategy that his team had planned, Blackbeard was blatantly ignoring it. Rather, he simply went out into the middle of the road, used his Devil Fruit powers to send a black cloud of smoke into the air, and has been using his black hole-like powers to pull any Third Party members that come to investigate towards him, in order to throw them to the ground, stomp on their backs, and rip their wings off, in that order.]

Zehahahaha! Ya must've had a terrible fate ta run inta me! An' ya just keep comin'! What idiots...

[By now, the bulky pirate has piled up the corpses into a mountain. He feels that, if the Malnosso want these people dead, then maybe killing a lot of them will get him out of Luceti faster. As shown by his past actions, he has absolutely no qualms about killing in order to achieve his goals, and his current goal is getting out of Luceti as soon as possible. His teammates may not feel the same way about killing, but he doesn't care about what the people here think of him.]

[Auron is taking full advantage of having the cap lifted out there. Yeah that's right. He's kicking some major Third Party ass. For much of the time he can be seen slashing his heavy sword through any enemies that come his way. He'll also be casting occasional offensive spells, mostly using one of his set of Break abilities to lower their defense, strength, and so on. He takes a good share of hits out there himself, but it's nothing he can't handle.]

[When the enemies become too numerous, he'll also throw in an Overdrive, launching into his most powerful one, Tornado, sending devastating whirlwinds at the Third Party.]

[Ryuhou tends to be more of a loner when fighting, unless he's got Kazuma by his side. He's brought his Alter up to full strength, and his body is covered in purple/silver armor as he flies across the battlefield, taking out as many of the enemy as possible. Of course, he keeps an eye out for his teammates and anyone else who seems to be in trouble, and will swoop down to quickly and efficiently cut through the threat when he can.]

[He's been fighting for hours, now, and his armor is looking chipped and cracked in places, and fatigue is starting to show in his body and face. He will not stop, though, not until his body or Alter gives out completely.]

[Given the massive amount of alien weaponry that he requested from the Malnosso, Jack has managed to hold his own on the battlefield today. The gun he's holding right now is almost ridiculously large, and he's blasting away at the Third Party, a maniacal grin on his face. He's covered in dust and dirt, and his coat is ripped, but for the moment, he seems like he's having a great time.]

[No one would be able to tell he's already died twice in this battle if it weren't for the blood stains on his shirt...]

[Forward-dated to July 30th.]

[Okita has been doing his part for the entire week, making sure to rest when needed and to take the medicines that he's quietly requested to help curb the cough as he fights. He's not as powered as the others, but he's a holy terror when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, this can't last forever.

Toward the evening of the 30th, after finishing off one team and starting for another, he suddenly falters and begins coughing. As much as he tries to push forward, he can't. The coughing gets so bad he falls to his knees, using his sword scabbard like a staff to keep himself upright. Shortly afterward, he collapses on the field.]

[Fighting. It was something Ratatosk hasn't had a chance to do much of lately, so he's making up for lost time and a hell of a lot of boredom and frustration as he tears through the battlefield, sword a blur of shining silver as he slashes at any Third Party member who gets within reach of said sword. But he finds himself having to stop and rest more often then he usually would no thanks to Emil's health (or lack thereof). Every time he does, he leaves himself open to any surprise attacks, be they from enemies or those on his own side who want to see him dead...]

[After his talk with Arumat, Shadow is careful to Vanish himself when he goes to get rid of knocked out enemies. He's aware of the conflict it would cause, so has stuck with this stealthy approach all along. So, while invisible, he goes around to kill off any unconscious enemies he comes across. It's a simple job for him, something he carries out efficiently.]

[...Except when the Vanish runs out. It's been a long week really, so it's understandable that he's lost track of the spell's timing.]
