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!))

-She's having a lot of trouble setting up the sealing shields. Does anyone with actual muscle want to help her out? Because this is getting ridiculous-

[Mercury may be fighting nausea, but she fights the good fight. She has something to focus on, and mind over matter has always been far more than a motto for her.

Her blue skin, on the hand, elicits no more than a private, wry smile to herself, once it seems to carry no other effects with it.

Right now, true to her word earlier, she is setting up a makeshift medical station and laying out a few basic supplies. Help out? Ask for help?]

[Vash will be keeping himself busy. He’s going to try and behave himself, sticking with the defensive group and making sure the ones who can’t fight or are busy giving medical attention are well protected. Quickly taking out any Third Party member that foolishly thinks of coming nearby those he considers under his protection. His aim is cool, calm, and deadly precise. That of course would be if he was aiming for killing blows.

Instead Vash targets for the legs, arms, and ONE of their wings. He’s insanely fast. Able to shoot off four rounds if he must, but your character will only hear one or two of the shots. While medics may tend to those one their side, Vash will be taking his small med kit and doing what he can to stop the bleeding of any third party members in dire need of healing.

Yes, that may mean stopping you from your bad ass finishing move.

Of course. He can’t just leave them laying around on the battlefield. That’s just asking for more trouble. During lulls in action Vash will be taking still living Third Party Members and moving them away from the group. Hopefully the rope he’s brought with him will at least slow them down from trying to get back up.

Any time that isn’t spent fighting and taking care of Third Party Members, Vash is going to be rather restless. Even if he can’t see them he knows there are people dying out there. He should be doing something! When he’s sure that the defensive group has enough cover he may be venturing out on his own. Trying to protect any one he can or pick off any Third Party member he may find.]

[Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack pumped a dozen rounds into a flying soldier and watched him fall out of the sky. Stepping through the battlefield like a souped up Rambo armed with two machine guns, Jack may be enjoying this battle a little too much. He's never fought in a war where he had such a significant advantage and little worry of his own death.]

[A fifty foot tall Bowser is stalking through the Third Party lines, using his massive flamethrower of a mouth to mow down the enemies. Although he may be able to take on several at once, these TP guys are taking to swarming him and are being a real pain to swat away. Believe it or not, he could actually use assistance.]

[With such a small number of people to look after, Caesar will be keeping a pretty good eye on everyone. Seriously. He'll be overseeing things, which means that if you don't approach him at some point, he'll probably approach you, just to see how you're doing.

Otherwise, Caesar will not be difficult to reach, at any point in time. He may be busier at some times than others, but for the most part, this strategist is readily available if anyone needs to talk to him.]

[Although a lot of feelings of dread and doom were lingering before, now that the anticipation is over, Kain can focus on fighting like he's supposed to.]

[He's sure to warn Rydia back when it looks like it's needed, so that he can keep focused on the offensive without her being too at risk. With the dragoon boots and gauntlets he's able to do a lot better this time around as well.]

[He leaps, lunges and stabs at the enemies in his path, cutting through them with an unrelenting fury. ...perhaps it's also an act of revenge for last time as well.]

[Kouki is busy. If he's not providing healing spells to anyone that might need it, or a useful nullifying or reflecting barrier that can take a hit or spell once, then he's casting spells to weaken the enemies.

He's switching his skills around as the situation demand it, whenever he can. He'll do what it takes to protect the noncombatants.]

[On an isolated part of the battlefield, there's a rather strange "battle" going on. A single girl is standing in front of a group of third-party members, outnumbered. For a few moments, they seem frozen in place.]

[And then they start to scream.]

[Some collapse to their knees, eyes seemingly locked on the girl as a strange silvery fog begins to resonate around them. Eventually, their screams go silent and their bodies fall lifelessly to the ground. The silver fog swirls around the girl for a few moments before she outstretches her arms, absorbing it. It's over in minutes.]

[And yet despite the scene, she seems rather calm. When she eventually turns around, her eyes are closed and her expression is blank. Somehow, even though she doesn't seem to be injured, her dress is torn and covered in blood.]

[ooc: Cheyenne's powers will cause anyone who gets within 20 feet of her to have chills and start feeling more anxious or stressed out than they would normally be on the battlefield, unless you think they'd be powerful enough to be immune. Touching her will cause negative effects regardless.]

[Bernkastel is easy taking care of any soldiers that come near her, slashing her scythe and letting her cats chew on their flesh once she's disabled them.

But, when she notices Vash going around trying to heal and rope Third Party Members she sneers and comes closer to him.]

You know, they wouldn't heal you if you needed assistance.

I know that.

Then why are you bothering to help someone who wants to actively kill you?

Because, if no one tries to stop the circle of violence, it will never end. [He's going to keep right on bandaging one up while he talks.]

[She won't stop Vash, but rather she will create a blue barrier around them in order to stop anyone who tries to attack them during their talks.]

One person cannot stop violence. Especially not on a battlefield.

[Vash appreciates the barrier. Makes it a little easier to concentrate on his "victim."]

It has to start somewhere. [Quick, short answers for now. A little distracted to make speeches.]

Peace is something people pursue, while realizing they will never achieve it. Is that the life you want to live?

No.

I want to live my life because one day there will be peace. [He pauses to take a smaller breather now that the man before him is not in danger of bleeding out.] One day people will be able to live their lives in peaceful days, with no war or stealing.

Impossible. You cannot stop conflict. War happens because of clashing differences and egos.

Ah, but why am I bothering? You're the stubborn type, right?

One day people will find better ways to deal with conflicts. [That would be a yes to your last questions.]

[She thought as much.]

...You want to know the secret to peace? Why it hasn't been accomplished yet.

[Vash is quiet. He's expecting a snarky answer so he's doing something useful while he hears it; tying the man's hands behind his back.]
