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 can't run forever. I'll catch him later. [His eyes return to the ground, scanning it in search of his saber. Ugh, good thing he didn't land in one of those cow pies. The stench would've haunted him all day. Finally, he spots his weapon between two particularly anxious cows and strides towards it.]

[Hm. One of the cows is standing on top of the blade. Yuan's eyes narrow and he gives the animal a good shove.] Off, you beast!

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Ah-- [No, not the cow!

...oh wait, that's his weapon under it. Okay. Right. The enemy.] ... I-It's not like they could have gotten very far. You were only just fighting them, weren't you?

[Unless the enemy somehow transferred to the ground while the two weren't looking? The only thing Noel can really spot is the giant herd of cows surrounding them, but...]

I know that. The bastard must've had superhuman speed. [Why is this cow still not moving? It's staggering a bit at Yuan's pushing, but absolutely refuses to step aside. Time to do this the hard way, then. Yuan grits his teeth and plants both hands against the cow's side, getting ready for one strong shove.]

I told you to move!

[Aaaand just like that, the cow falls over, onto its side. Obviously, it hadn't been expecting the sudden burst of strength attributed to Yuan's Cruxis Crystal. Neither had Yuan. He looks stumped (and slightly remorseful) at the fact that the poor animal fell over.

Did he seriously just tip a cow?]

[Oh.

My.

God.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[Here comes Noel to the rescue! What's she going to do? Absolutely nothing sans panic over the cow, because she's not exactly strong enough to pick it up.]

What did you-- How did you--!? [The cow continues to struggle.] O-Oh god, what do we do!?

[fortunefail]

I... I didn't mean to- [Crap crap crap. Yuan quickly moves his weapon out of the way before kneeling down next to the cow. It doesn't seem to be hurt, in any case. Just very startled.]

It can get back up on its own, can't it?

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Do you think it can!? [She continues to helplessly watch as the poor thing tries to get itself back up.] I've never seen anything like this before, s-so... I don't know!

[Or at the very least, one that wasn't mutated like all of the other animals in her world.]

[fortunefail]

[Cows are resilient. And they sleep on their sides all the time, right? Uh. Just to be sure, Yuan worms both his hands underneath the cow to help it back on its feet. ... hooves.]

Come on. Up you go.

[The cow does indeed scramble back up, but it doesn't look too happy. In fact, once its fully upright again, it headbutts Yuan in the chest before striding off.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[...and so it goes.]

You were able to help it back up so easily... [And he could even push it down just as easily. This man must be strong.]

[fortunefail]

[This is what happens when your Cruxis Crystal powers are nullified for a few years; you grossly underestimate them when you finally get them back.]

... The cow did most of the work. [Maybe.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Well, it was still nice of you to help it up... even if you were the one who made it fall over in the first place.

[fortunefail]

Yes, well. We're supposed to protect these beasts, not cause them further harm.
