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!))

[He leaps back to gain even more distance and prepares to focus in on Vanitas. Maybe if he can nail him with Pulse Bomb...]

[On the first day at least, Flandre is doing a good job at staying right next to Kohaku. She can't see, and is thus practically glued to her side most of the time. But where Kohaku flinches, the vampire attempts to glance after the source of the noise, chirping curiously.]

[Even if it's just a few hits, Ven will take what he can get and start dodge rolling in hopes of missing that dangerous darkness attack.]

[ Hughes will be all over the place, more or less, as he aims to make his way to any place that looks like it's in need of a helping hand. The flying and Shifting are very new aspects to it (be a great day to have some alchemists around, man), but this still isn't his first rodeo, and his general attitude will be a quiet, resigned one as he fights. He isn't cruel when it comes to killing any enemies (a few quick bullets or a well-aimed knife, something fast and hopefully not unbearably painful), but he isn't hesitant about doing it, either.

If you don't make sure they won't get back up, they're bound to do so. And there are too many people at stake for that kind of nonsense.

...of course, if you happen to catch him on Day One, he'll be doing so with a much less calm expression for some odd reason. Could have to do with the fact that he's turned a bright lime green and feels like crap, I don't know. ]

[Ven takes a few hits before he manages to block and counter with his own combo. He'll try and pull some more evasive tactics for good measure because this is getting a bit irritating, and there's one trick up his sleeve that might save his hide.]

[risingspirit.livejournal.com]

Heh. [Coby pulls a Chopper looks flattered, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Some of us are pretty strong, you know!

Day 2

[ima-greywarden.livejournal.com]

Look out!



You all right?

[First Day, Main Offensive Group]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

[Saleh makes his way through the battlefield, specifically looking for Kain and Rydia. Only now, the effects of the shifting incompatibility are starting to get to him…slowly. He can feel a slight weakness in his muscles, a feeling of nausea setting it. But he could not let that stop him. If he gave in on the battlefield, it would surely mean the end for him.]

Day 2

[simplestgift]

[There is still a GIANT GRYPHON. Archie regains himself after a second of realizing the thing is an ally, then grits his teeth and draws his sword, stooping lightning fast to grab a handful of dust and fling it into the eyes of an approaching soldier before running him through.]

Fine, thank you!

[He hacks at the wings of another soldier and calls out to his neighbor.] At a later date, you'll have to explain to me what that thing is doing here!

[any day, primarily defensive point]

[winged_moon]

[Yue's purpose is to protect and defend, not to hunt and kill, so he'll be sticking close to the noncombatants and medics, using bow and arrows made of glowing blue energy to pick off enemies from afar. His main strategy is to stay out of range of any Shifters to avoid that complication, but he still flies relatively close to the ground just in case, and is burdened by a mundane bow and arrow case even if he isn't using them.]

Clearing Group | Day 2

Do not let those shields down until you are ABSOLUTELY certain the Shifts have disabled them. The sigil (http://i.imgur.com/L9Ydt.png) will cease its glow when they are down.

Until then, those of you armed and ready will need to keep the area clear of other combatants.

Re: First Day - Morning

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Just setting them up seems to be the main task. They need to be placed in defensive formations at all likely corners where we will be attacked.

Day 2

[ima-greywarden.livejournal.com]

Right.

I've never actually seen one, myself! Pretty amazing, right?

[amber-arcangel.livejournal.com]

[Kohaku sees no problem with having someone stuck to her as long as she's not anchored down, but there will be no explanations to those noises unless asked. And probably even then, she'll be quiet.]

Day 3, sunset

[simplestgift]

[Kennedy has been doing pretty well for someone with no superpowers to speak of. At the moment, he's at the front lines, cutlass drawn, taking enemy after enemy, one at a time, with hardly a glance as to the face or type of enemy as long as it has large wings. This is how he ends up face-to-face with an Elite.

Damn.

Within seconds, he's disarmed, his cutlass lying four yards away. Less than a second later, the Elite's sword slashes him across the ribs, and he's kicked back into the tall grass with the wind knocked out of him. In the split second it takes for the Elite to raise her sword, it occurs to Kennedy, with the same stoic certainty he had nearly two months ago, that he is one heartbeat away from dying and can do exactly nothing about it.]

[simplestgift]

As long as it's on our side! [Kennedy hisses as he's slashed shallowly across the upper arm. He deflects a sword blow with his hand against the flat of his enemy's blade and takes him down.] Where is everyone?

[originaljackass]

[Jack was already running low on rounds for the day. He'd have to reload back at the hotel room. He cursed his luck as he stalked the battlefield, having been forced to resort to his pistols. It took three shots to take down a soldier. Damn, he was really rusty. Back when he was Jack Candle, he could have taken one of these bastards down with one shot to the skull.

... and that's when he sees one of the tough ones taking down that shmuck, Archie. With his machine guns depleted, he's honestly tempted to just move on and let someone else handle this armor clad bitch. On the other hand...

He's goddamned Jack Horner. Hero shit is what he does. Time for people to see how awesome he is. He empties the remaining rounds in his pistol in the direction of the elite. They don't quite kill her, oh no. But it sure as hell gets her attention. Before he can reload, she's upon him, piercing a sword through his gut.]

... fuck.

Re: Day 3, sunset edit: A WOMAN, archie you sad man

[memoryboxes]

[Crack-boom]

[The Elite's sword arm suddenly snaps at the elbow in blast of blood and tissue, before the blade falls and the limb bends to hang awkwardly and by a sliver of flesh.

Sayo stands just a little ways away, the gun offered to her by Archie shivering in her white-knuckled grip, as her own face meets with the same color. Despite the Elite turning himself toward her, obvious pain on her face, she couldn't bring herself to move, let alone try to shoot her again if she'd so wished. Instead she stares wide-eyed at her own actions. You have to do something, Sayo. You have to move, do something...!]

[all7seas]

[The fighting IS keeping the pirate occupied. Two rank-and-file third party soldiers are trying to take his life, and Sparrow is very busy not letting them. He manages to come between the two, ducking in time to avoid a slash by the first soldier that accidentally takes out the second; the third party member has a moment to register surprise before Sparrow slices his throat.

He has a moment to breathe and wipe blood from his cheek.]

[simplestgift]

[...And he's not dead. His chest is more or less ON FIRE, but he's not dead, and the wound is fairly shallow. Gritting his teeth, he climbs to his feet and sees that the Elite who was about to cleave him in half is now killing Jack Horner. GOOD. Maybe that'll take the ass down a peg or two. Still, he can't just stand back and enjoy the show, because as much as he despises Horner, Archie's just not that kind of guy. Snapping up his sword, he slices through the winged woman's Achilles' tendon, hoping that will at least buy Jack time.]

[ima-greywarden.livejournal.com]

Yes, of that I'm sure.

That, I'm not sure. There was no one here when I got here. We'll have to fight our way through to the others it seems.

[At least Rydia makes it relatively easy to be spotted in the chaos? Her magic is almost always flashy and this time is no exception. Focused on picking off enemies, she engulfs the nearest ones in a Firaga spell while Kain is airborne.]
