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!))

I am quite all right, thank you. [He also gives a nod.] To tell the truth, it's actually a little unusual! It's been a long while since I've only had to work with such a small group of people.

[Shhh, totally not a whelp.

He is also not surprised by this. Jack just seems like one of those guys.]

Guess you'll probably be of more use now that you have access to both of your arms, huh? Just keep an eye out for anything that might want to take out our defense.

[...What the hell is up with this guy? Mihai just watches for a moment, then shakes his head.]

I know the shots were coming from here, and I don't miss. Kids may like their fairy tales, but I'm a bit old to keep playing pretend.

[HNRK, BEING DRAGGED IS A REAL DRAG.

BADUM-TSCH!]

Whaddya' we dooooo?!

SHOULD I MEATSHIELD?!

[GODDAMNIT HUGHES, THAT'S ALL I KNOW]

[Skittering away toward a tree for protection. Arms be floppin up in here.]

What are the stakes again?!

[Bah, flabby arm or no, a greeting's a greeting~]

...

Oh! It's good to meet you, [straightens up] Mr. Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III.

Your father's surname, right?

[Her breathing is shallow, trying to overcome the rolling waves coursing throughout her body. She knew that without the power cap to protect her these episodes were more likely to happen, but she had still hoped they wouldn't. At least the soldier was taken out, but she had worried Frey...]

I'll be okay, give me a few moments. [Offering up a weak smile in an attempt to reassure him, trying to seek out Masaomi's presence among the souls leaving the dead bodies. Had the other soldiers been felled yet?]

[RATATATATATA—]

Hey, if that were the case, the girls would've followed me instead of you, Mr. Outlaw!

[A nod, before he straightens up and looks the ninja over.]

You get hit?

[Wolfwood's used to walking around bullets and blocking them, but it's not so easy. Knives either, especially from fighters like these.]

[She bows her head in gratitude for such a remark; the truth was, she was terrified, right now. Scared to death, and had she kept her hands from her sleeves, they would no doubt tremble like her heartbeat. But—when she thinks of the other people involved in this draft, she can't help but mask her fear as much as she can.

Quietly,]

Thank you, Archie-san.

Now rest; we'll return you back soon.

[And she waits with him, gun in lap.]

... It sounds like he must have a lot to handle, having such a job.

Yeah. But I'll live. My jacket slowed it down. [Never before has he been grateful for it being so bulky until now.]

[Instead of answering right out, Leon hurries back over to join the man. He'd be more than happy to get out of here.] I was heading back to the distribution center.

[Like Sanji, Noel tries to avoid most of the lightning that's been rained down on them. Not getting hit by any is most certainly not a possibility for her because she had just tried to shoot at the azzodess, but pain is not an issue for her right now. Ignoring the numbing wounds, Noel continues to focus on taking her down.

Though she's all the way up there and Noel's all the way down there, if Noel can get her low enough, even if it's still in the air, she can finally move in to attack her effectively enough. And luckily? Bolverk doesn't need ammunition; it's all just good ol' pure Armagus that causes the blasts. There won't be any fear of running out of it any time soon.

If she barely avoids the third blast, it's okay. Noel's eye and the barrel of Bolverk will still follow her every movement and pull the trigger to fire more and more Armagus blasts in her general direction when she can.

Admittedly, it's an annoying strategy, but it's all she can do for now until she's able to actually reach.]

The Metal elemental spells allow me to reshape and summon metallic elements. Basically I used that to craft the shields themselves, and while they were forming used the Sun, Moon, and Water elements to imbue them with the specialized seal.

[All enemies appear to have been taken down in the general area. There's no immediate threat, but... is someone calling her name? It sounds like...]

[Oh! She knows that voice!

Noel snaps out of it, looking to the source of it.] K-Kida!?

[ dawn winces as looking at the leg makes it hurt more, but at least nothing's falling off or deeper than a really bad scrape. ]

Paintball officially suddenly seems so much less like a fun weekend activity, from this moment on.

It's one way to suck the fun out of war games. [ she quietly agrees. ] You don't happen to have some water or anything?

Slayer's little sister. I pick stuff up. [ the back-turning means he misses her brief grimace. ] Could you just not get stabbed? Because if you get stabbed I have to stab the person who stabbed you, and it's just a circle of stabbing. Also, badness.

[ the gun makes a shadow cross over her face, briefly, and she's glad archie's turned away so she doesn't have to explain it. with warren in luceti, guns are even less of something she likes dealing with.

...but that's her issue, not his, and if it comes down to a couple more nightmares and archie not dying she'll take the first option, thanks. before answering archie's question, she takes another peek outside. ] Two-- no, I lied. Three. But I'm not sure if they're staying or going.

Never underestimate a one-armed pirate, lad. Ahem. AYE, cap'n. This eye? Out, sir! Anything else you'll be wantin' at this time, sir?

[This thread is going to get interesting after Vash rests for a bit isn't it?]

It really isn't. All this fighting and killing... and all for what?

[OW! He was saving that pebble for later!]

[Vash looks up, again looking innocently confused as he attempts to figure out how the bullet is suppose to go into the chamber of his gun.

Only... the effect is a little ruined when a Third Party member thinks this would be a great idea to charge out of a bush, tossing a knife toward Vash as he charges. After all, he makes a great target. Standing there with his gun open, looking all kinds of confused.

Aw crap.

Suddenly Vash remembers damn well how to load his gun, shoves the bullet into place, and snaps the chamber shut. With the three bullets he's managed to load so far he blasts the knife out of the air before striking the man charging at him in the wing and thigh; dropping the man to the ground.]

Of course it would be! Don't ya think it'd be more merciful ta let them die here? If we're resurrected, then I'm almost certain they will be too.

This is a war Vash.

Maybe, but they still lose something when they're killed.

Killing is never the answer.
