Highschool DxD RP: Double Duty

I'm gonna go set up the OOC so I can start keeping track of characters and such

Highschool DxD RP: Double Duty

London and Seattle: Two vastly different territories defended by two vastly different families. That is, until the heirs to both families fall in love, get married and decide to swan off on their honeymoon, leaving the groom's younger sister in charge of both areas. Already struggling to fill out her own household, Alice must now bridge the gap between both communities, sharing the work of both families. From battling monsters to granting wishes, breaks are few and far between and relaxation is a distant memory.

As if that wasn't enough to turn her hair white prematurely, there have been sinister signs boiling beneath the surface of her territories. A dark force seems to be gathering across the globe, turning people's hearts to violence. All Alice ever wanted was a family to call her own, but now will she have to risk their lives in order to save so many others?

This is obviously a Highschool DxD RP. If you haven't watched the show, you should probably go do that before you try and join. I'm not gonna be super hard on rules, but it basically boils down to don't be "that guy" and you only get one guaranteed warning. I'm not unreasonable, but if I've told you not to do something and you keep doing it, you better believe that's a paddlin'.
Characters are judged on a per-submission basis, and heavily influenced on what I think we need at the moment, so the earlier you sign up, the more likely you get exactly what you want. That said, Four pawns, the Queen, and one of each other piece are reserved for people joining later, so keep that in mind.

Klou struggled against the skeleton's bony grip, kicking against it's body wherever she could land a blow. Her free hand scrabbled at her throat, trying to get some room to breathe. Her thoughts seemed to disconnect from her predicament, as if someone else was controlling her body and someone else would have to deal with the consequences of her foolish mistakes. She tried to think of a way to escape and turn things in her favor, but the monster was stronger than her, it was tougher than her, it might even be faster than her. Her blows were only minimally effective and it now had the advantage over her tactically. This was it. She would die here and never go back home. She would never repay Isis for saving her, she would never become an alchemist. She would be killed here before accomplishing anything right in front of May.

May...

Klou's thoughts snapped back into perspective all at once, and the hand scrabbling to dislodge the blockage around her neck instead moved to support the other at keeping the weapon at bay, and she wrapped her legs around the skeleton's bony ones, trying to keep it in place. She craned her neck around as much as she could, trying to catch a glimpse of the other girl.

"R-run..." She choked out as loudly as she could, willing May to listen. She couldn't save herself anymore, she wouldn't be able to defeat this enemy, but she could certainly slow it down before it turned it's attention on anyone else.

Having managed to get inside it's reach, Klou's next priority was gaining control of the spear. If she could disarm it, she was sure she would be able to easily handle anything else it could do to her. Even if the idea of a monster from level 5 was initially frightening, it was still a monster from the upper levels and alone at that. Reaching for the spear above where the bony hands grasped it, she used her other hand to beat against the creature's forearms, trying to either force it to let go or break the limbs holding the weapon. Once she got the spear out of it's reach, dismantling the skeleton would be a much simpler matter.

"May, stay back! Keep out of it's reach!" Klou shouted, "I'll take care of the fighting here," With May on standby, Klou could afford to get a bit reckless. She dashed forward suddenly, keeping an eye on the tip of the spear and trying to read the first attack. All she needed to do was get inside it's range, and the fight would be hers.

That spear was the big issue with that plan. If she got even a scratch, it would poison her. She only had one shot at this, so she had to make it count. The skeleton's movements were erratic, and it was hard to know whether a twitch was an attack or just another step forward, but she pushed all other thoughts out of her head. Right now the only things that mattered were her and the spear, and she would make sure that it didn't touch her.

A Skeleton Warrior? What is it doing on level one? Klou thought to herself as she backed up a few steps, trying to judge if there was enough room for her to slip past and lead it away from May. I can probably take it out, since it's alone. Normally I wouldn't try, but with May in the next room I can probably count on having backup if I need it. For now I'll play this by ear. Eying the skeleton carefully, Klou waited for it to make it's move, hoping that she would be able to dodge and dash around it when it tried to attack. She briefly thought about calling for help now, but May was still in the middle of her fight, and didn't seem to be in a particularly safe position when she had looked. Distracting her now might mean injuring the girl, and that was the last thing she wanted to do. Instead, she decided she would try and take care of this herself as far as she could.

In the back of her mind, she was still puzzling over the skeleton's presence. It can't have climbed all the way up from floor five surely, someone would have spotted it and taken it out. The creature wasn't quick on it's feet, and it would have taken hours at least to drag itself up four floors, especially without purpose. Had someone led it here? Had it somehow spawned outside of it's area? Possibilities spun around in the background as she dedicated her attention to her new foe.

Klou's fist impacted the goblin's face firmly, it's owner a bit miffed at being cut by such a wimpy foe. A few good hits should be enough to finish it off if it's companion was anything to go by, but just to be safe Klou yanked the offending appendage up further until the goblin was just barely able to touch the floor, driving her knuckles into it's face until it crumbled like it's partner. Only once she was sure it was dead did she release her grip, black dust sifting through her fingers before fading away into nothingness. Low quality as she was sure they were, she bent down to collect whatever drops the two may have left her.

With her own business dealt with for now, Klou reoriented her focus farther inward, placing her attention back on May.

Goblins were slow and it was a simple matter for Klou to sidestep the first attack, pivoting to the left and spinning in order to deliver a kick to the back of the Goblin's neck. From that position, the second monster was actually a threat, but Klou twisted her body to try and avoid the thrust, planning to grab the Goblin's wrist and pull it into her punching range.

Klou turned around at the sound of cracking stone, seeing the two goblins fall to the floor, weapons already in her hand, gave her a moment of pondering. Where exactly do monsters come from? She thought to herself, If they appear fully formed with weapons and hatred, they must have an origin. Her pensive thoughts drew to a close as she realized she should get into a combat stance. Just because this was the first floor didn't mean she could mess around. It was her first time in the dungeon, and she couldn't afford any mistakes. Setting herself in a low stance, she watched the goblins warily and waited for their first move.
