We're more than carbon and chemicals

Who: All Draftees
What: Fighting Third Party
When: 26th, 27th, 28th, 1st, and 2nd
Where: The Southern Farmlands
Summary: See here for overall details.
Rating: Probably gonna be gorey in places :|a

DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

Make it impossible for them to fight.

I suppose so. [Vash stands up. Readying himself to deal with the next one.]

[The first day is easily the worst. Not only does Link feel so unwell that he's largely unable to fight, but the magic he intends to use has all but deserted him, too. Still, he'll press on - by the end of the day, he can stop feeling useless and get on with defense.]

[The end of the first day, and the next few, are easier. Link can generally be found higher up, using Golden Gauntlet-enhanced strength to send arrows shooting far and fast. Magic doesn't stick when they get closer to the Shifters - but, well, an arrow on fire and shot with supernatural strength is still an arrow on fire and shot with supernatural strength.]

[Like in previous drafts Yuber actually requested his old black plate mail (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/99049477/23591872) before coming out to the field. With someone like Moro here, he'd be damned if he let her easily use him as a chew toy.

Anyone who happens to catch a glimpse of the demon on the field will likely see some creepy looking demonic monsters not too far away.

Basically, he's not taking any chances that Moro is going to play nice and is fully prepared to attempt to kill her too if needed. But otherwise he's taking down Third Party soldiers like it's no trouble. Even the Shifters don't bother him much from what can be seen.]

[Wolfwood spends his time being very precise. These guys really were relentless in their attacks, but one thing Wolfwood had over them was an easy way to strike them down. As they try for a swift swoop inward he spins the Cross Punisher round until the machine gun is facing the sky, and proceeds to shoot through fleshy feathered wings, unflinching when clumps of blood splatter across the ground.

One of the angels try to bulldoze down from the air with wing torn and arm poised with blade in hand, but the preacherman bats the man away with the end of his crucifix, forcing him into the ground violently.

But he doesn't pull the trigger and rip the man to shreds. He instead leaves him an unconscious mess nearby while he continues to shoot down skyward Third Party members with careful yet plentifully aimed bullets.

Soon there's spend bullet casings covering the ground, as the cross roars with mechanical noise.]

[Honestly, Nami's doing her best to avoid Vash. It's easier to not lose patience with him that way. She'll be sticking close to Sanji on the first day-- blind? are you kidding her, you bastards?-- and doing whatever's asked of her.]

[When Noel was transported into the area, she didn't know which area she was dropped off to. For a while? She's been hopelessly lost, but hasn't ran into any of the enemy by some turn of fate.

For the time being, a field of cows has been distracting her. All of Noel's attention has now been dedicated to this.

She had no idea there were animals here...

ooc: I don't mind whether a fight with the Shifters start up or not in threads. \o Bring it onnn.]

[Cutting a path between fields and trying to avoid attention from the Third Party, there is one Nami on her waver (http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/142770-010_thumb.jpg) making as smooth a ride as possible back to the defensive zone.

This might be because she's carrying a passenger currently clinging to her waist who probably wouldn't appreciate her usual tricks. Sayo turned up in the wrong area, and Nami's getting her back somewhere safe, her long hair carefully wound in a knot to avoid it slapping into Sayo's face.

So far, so good. How you doing back there, Sayo? |Da]

[Rydia enjoys watching him at work, now that he has those boots and gauntlets, though of course she does more than just watch. Any chance she gets, the Summoner is doing her part by blasting magic at their foes. Only when they come across those who negate such abilities does she hang back, and only until Kain has defeated them.

And while she understands his need for an outlet, Rydia remains the voice of reason for them both. When he's too tired or injured, she'll have them take a break, even if it's to pause somewhere long enough to down a potion or two. She means to keep to that promise of seeing them both through this alive.]

[Oh, hi there blind buddy.

A small person seems to have blundered into you. A very strong small person, as she has latched onto Nami almost automatically with a bit of a vice grip.

Quite like a lost child.]

[Well I feel like ;~;, but that's okay because there are more important things at hand. Like clinging for dear life on Nami's torso and making little surprised noises every so often.]

I'm so sorry, Nami-san. I'm so sorry...!

[It's all her fault, you had to go out of your way to help her, all because she'd went and stupidly entered the wrong drop zone. 'Waking up' confused and frightened in her hotel room--not a fun thing. Getting sent off to some place where she didn't know anybody? Even worse.

And now, she can only bury her vision in Nami's shoulder, after seeing the dead crumpled on the ground rushing by around them.]

[At some point while Vash is tying up a Third Party member he might notices flashes of light in the air and then the body of another Third Party member comes tumbling down in front of him.

You've been trolled again, Vash.]

[Well, Sanji's got nowhere to go, so Nami can stick away. Unfortunately, he's not the best for conversation - his mouth is caught in a perpetual grimace as battle roar of battle, both distant and nearby, rings in his now-sensitive ears.

When he moves, he moves slow, unsure of his steps unless Nami's there to guide him, and his eyes never open. Ever. They haven't, not since the first two attempts, and his stare met nothing but inky black. But he doesn't have the time to be afraid, or feel anything besides the controlled anger and frustration filling his chest.

He thinks back to yesterday, everyone offering a helping hand should that dreaded incompatibility issue arise.

...Heh. Not much they can do this time around. Shitty Malnosso bastards.]

[Sparrow has finally gotten over being pink and having a broken arm--cleared up enough to join his assigned group, though he has no idea what sealing shields are or how to put them in place. Mainly he is there as a blade and no more, although if convinced, would probably lend a hand in other ways.]

[OOC: Going to bed now but will tag later. ]

[JHEirhaihreiahrea. He doesn't need this right now. Shouting as he turns because he knows who it is.] YUBER!

[Sayo's following Mercury's lead, both traveling from medical area to area, and also keeping the look-out for anyone fighting who's been injured. She's already seen quite a few bodies, and have steered away from them at first, but she forces herself to move forward, staying low and near stronger folk, keeping a medical kit close at hand.

Keeping Archie-san's pistol hidden on her person, tucked in-between her kimono.]

[He'll see the demon nearby in his black armor. Of course, he wasn't exactly the one who killed the soldier. Nah, the demon is instead finishing one off himself and Vash can see how covered in blood his swords are now.]

It's not your fault. [She's careful to keep the anger out of her voice, because she knows damn well who she is blaming, and it's not Sayo.] The Malnosso are jerks. It's too easy to get confused - you're not the only one. [Just...the only non-combatant. At least they're out of the fight where they are now-- no corpses for a while, but she doesn't say as much. It's probably easier this way.]

Yet people will always fight. Always conflict. This is simply the way life is and will always be. To seek peace, understanding at the same moment that you will not reach it, is one thing. To actually have dreams of accomplishing it...well you'll just ruin the balance of all life.

[She says this all in an emotionless tone. Rather than rile him up, she is simply trying to make him understand what she knows to be a universal truth.]

[For the most part, Terra remains with the offensive front. She'll heal those who need it but focuses her strength and attention on devastating magic, working on those enemies who aren't immune to her talents. When it comes to stronger forces, she can still be useful as a soldier and so will guard those whose primary strengths aren't physical. She's an efficient fighter even as she doesn't particularly revel in combat; whatever can be done to disable as many enemies as possible, she'll manage. Of course, all this while, she'll keep an eye out for friends and anyone who might need her help.]

[It isn't exactly easy to piss Vash off. Throwing dead bodies at him twice is a pretty good way through.

But as Vash knows, even the best armor has weak points. With a cold calculating eye, even from a far distance, Vash should be able to spot at least one. Yuber is going to hear the sound of one gun shot, but there are now four bullets racing towards the weak points Vash could find in that armor.

Vash. Is. Pissed.]

[Asad is trying to concentrate especially on ensuring the non-combatants and the injured are safe and sound (and those with handicaps on the first day). As long as no Shifters are nearby, he'll be using powerful Mage Arts on any Third Party members who even look like they are coming in their direction. He has no trouble knocking them out of the air with his powerful Havoc Cyclone which summons up a cyclone to deal with his enemies. If they don't die right off, they definitely won't be flying afterwards.

If a Shifter approaches, he'll change over to a bow and arrow until the threat is taken care of.

He seems to be handling himself fine, overall, but as the draft wears on, he will grow more and more exhausted from just being out as much as possible. He's a stubborn one who will put others before himself and that will be a problem towards the last day.]

[She just nods, managing to pry herself away enough to get a view of the scenery. Not beautiful, but at least there's less to look at.]

I just—I don't know what I was thinking...

[Okay, she knows exactly what she was thinking ('I need to get to the place where everyone else is, do they all lead there—]), but it's still awful, to think that she's already messed up on the second day.]

Thank you for finding me—!

[He speaks calmly. He's heard all these arguments before.] It can be done. People can change. So it can happen.

How many people are there in your world? If it's under fifty then fine, I'll believe you. If it's anything above five hundred then forget it. I've been alive for over centuries and those who tried to create world piece have only scratched the surface of the box they must open.
