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!))

[Tear had been walking beside the group, applying First Aid whenever Richard seemed to be on the verge of passing out. It had been difficult enough helping him through the battlefield when he was still conscious, they didn't need him to collapse again with so much danger about.

When the melodist hears Law's command she spins around immediately, moving to shield Richard and Asbel as her lips moved to sing the Second Hymn as quickly as she could. Even if they're so close, she has to do everything she can to protect their group and the patients healing in the makeshift medical center. Once enough fonons have gathered she releases them in the form of another Force Field, readying herself to fight against the soldiers who managed to breach through it.]

Asbel, get him out of here, now!

[pearheaded]

Oh.

Then what's your name?

[goldenglasses]

It's Mel.

[originaljackass]

Course they were magic. I was just getting to that.

[And here comes the needlework. It's not as elegant as a doctor's would be, but he knows what he's doing and it will heal, but unless someone better better fixes his work, it's going to leave an unsightly scar.]

So I went to sleep. Next morning? Big ass beanstalk. That's a plant, a vine that beans grow on. Only this one was huge. It went up into the sky, way up into the clouds. Thicker than any tree I'd ever seen. Just went to show how much my mom knew, so I went climbing it, expecting to find my reward. What I found was a huge castle. And I'm not just talking, "Damn that's a big place I'd love to live there", I mean it was so damn big I could fit into the space underneath the door. It was a castle belonging to giants.

So I did some poking around and found out that this giant had a nice stash of gold holed up there. Better than that, he had a fancy ass magic goose that laid golden eggs. In order to make my escape, I had to of course seduce and pleasure his giant wife and their fine, smokin' nubile young daughter. [Yes, he actually tells it that way. No, it did not happen that way. He was twelve, dammit.] Course, as I made my escape, the giant caught my scent and as I made my escape, he came down after me on the beanstalk.

[And there, the stitchwork is done. He cuts the thread. He goes to grab the additional bandages. Sayo, he could use your help keeping him propped up for this part.]

[pearheaded]

Right.

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Mel Broomtop!!

[HANDSHAKE! 8D]

I'm Ian Algaehead!

[simplestgift]

[Between the stitches and the story, Archie is properly distracted. The bleeding is slowing, but he still feels lightheaded.]

Re: [Last day]

[notabluesbro]

[He nods.]

Sure thing—the bastard cut off my technology, though, so all I've got to shoot with is this.

[He holds up the handgun, before stepping forward and swiveling the cross to block the two of them casually from a few more knives.]

also /KICKS you for that

[notabluesbro]

[Wolfwood takes over the fort on that one, aiming over the arm of the cross to take out a handful on his own. That doesn't stop the Third Party angels from deciding to start circling the full 360 degrees. So much for cross protection.]

[memoryboxes]

[Sayo has no clue what 'seduce' or 'nubile' means, so she just skips to the more important matter at hand, as she helps to lift Archie up (mumbling a quiet 'are you doing okay so far?'):]

What did you do to get away?

[And at such a young age! D8]

[Last Day]

[magecaptain.livejournal.com]

[When he hears the boy's shout about two more the only thought running in Asad's head is that his luck really was horrible today. Well, had better turn that around fast.] I'll leave them to you then!

[He quickly uses one of his Marks to summon up a pillar of fire to get the two nearby who are getting up.]

[originaljackass]

[And now to wrap the bandages around the wound while he finishes his story.]

I got down to the ground first. Then I took an axe from the woodshop and before the giant could make it down, I chopped the beanstalk down. Even rallied some villagers to help, seeing as how the giant would be bad news for the lot of them. The beanstalk came down and so did the giant, landing right on his head and killing him. I made my mom a rich woman and the villagers celebrated me as a hero, setting the stage for my career as a famous giant slayer.

[Nevermind the threat of a giant was his fault, as he had been a thief who stole from the giant.]

Of course, that's a whole other story for another time. Maybe one day you'll get to see the movie version.

[And there, Archie, you're all done. Jack takes a moment to admire his handiwork.]

That should do it.

[Last day]

[endgames]

That so? [Oh, now he's grinning. Shikamaru pulls a small smoke bomb out of his vest, throwing it to the ground between them and the Shifter.

He kneels, looking back up at Wolfwood and keeping his voice lowered so their opponent doesn't hear them.] That'll buy us a few seconds. If he's shifted away your tech, then I'll be able to use my abilities. But I'll need you to cover me when the smoke clears.

[simplestgift]

[Archie looks exhausted. Not merely faint--exhausted. Pain takes it out of you, people. But he made it through without complaint.] Thank you. Thank you both.

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold can claim Masaomi's thanks later. In the meantime, he focuses on mowing down and charring to a crisp one of those nearby soldiers with a well-aimed Flare Blitz.]

Hey, Kida, try not to get yourself killed out here! I'm not too keen on draggin' your corpse back!

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

...that's certainly handy information to have. [ WHY DID YOU NOT SAY THAT MUCH EARLIER. ]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara quickly assesses him and - seeing no injury, relaxes.]

'Bomberang,' huh?

[markofthewise]

Yeah, easier than exploding boomerang. So what?

[In the meantime, some soldiers are moving in, unfortunately it's not so obvious with so many buildings around.]

And when am I ever reckless? I don't do reckless!

[goldenglasses]

[NO HANDSHAKE! Fine... handshake.]

No. It's Mel, just Mel. Mr. Algaehead.

Re: also /KICKS you for that

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is ready and fully reloaded as they begin to circle; he moves to cover your back and takes aim.] Man... why do they always have to do things the hard way? [BANG! BANG!]

One of those days . . . !

[hakoiri.livejournal.com]

[ Because I can't work with dates to save my life.

The screams catch his attention. Though he's a considerable distance from the scene, he can easily tell who that figure in a dress is. His first instinct is to run in, but he remembers his words to her earlier that week and ceases to move after taking one step. Besides, what occurs next would have stopped him mid-step.

For some reason, it's a morbid thing to witness. Perhaps it's because the Third Party members have gone so still and quiet this quickly. Or perhaps it's because the victor provides a disturbing picture as she turns around. Is the blood even hers? How can it be?

Either way, Alf's grip on his sword tightens and he's about to take another step forward -- not yet. He'll wait for what happens next. He promised her that much. ]

Chey . . . enne?

First day, it is.

[hakoiri.livejournal.com]

[ When he sees the familiar face, Alf approaches Caesar. He'll bring up the group's mission, sure, but he's more looking at Caesar as an acquaintance than a mere leader right now. He gives a friendly wave as he comes closer. ]

How are things looking?

[First Day] [Anywhere]

[coldsnaps]

[And that angel is going to literally freeze up.]

I'm afraid [a crash, ice-encased Third Party members can't fly] not!

[goldenglasses]

I'll try not to see you until later, when I just need a rest.

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

Saber. It is a pleasure meeting you, Jack. If only it could be under better circumstances.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[He hops back to avoid the chainsaw, but then moves forward, swinging his dagger at her. And yes, he's aiming for the face again.]
