God's Shattering [Concluded]

@Flamelord, got any plans? Would you like to dodge/block the knife, get hit by it, or have Monkey assist in said dodge/block?

@The 42nd Gecko

There we go, the plan. Run away :P

God's Shattering [Concluded]

While he had been prepared for potential action by Stark Zealot, the general outline of theoretical possibilities had not included something randomly crash landing in his apartment without warning. That sort of thing was typically hard to predict, though his immediate assumption was that it was something from the Imperium, which was why he was half in the process of turning around and letting his activated Tome drop into his hands as the knife came his way.

"I have no idea," he spat, mostly to himself at this point. First Zealot showing up and now people crashing into his apartment? Just how insane had the Imperium become in the time since he had gone to Arcadia? Though judging from Zealot's reaction this probably wasn't something that had been arranged by the Imperium, or at least the same department in the Imperium.

A flick of his Tome deflected the knife and sent it hitting the floor with a thud. The peaceful option basically went by the wayside at that point, since it was pretty obvious that there would be no talking out of this. So he shifted into his own prepared strategy, sweeping out with his Tome to send a bar of solid air slamming into Zealot's knees from behind. When that took him down a further blow would follow,knocking him over to the ground itself.

A second later he sprang into action, ducking down and releasing a secret latch that opened a bolt hole in the floor. It was separated from the apartments below and went down to the ground floor, with no ladder or handholds needed. "Better get out," he warned the dynamic arrival with a few moments given to her if she headed his way before closing the hatch and descending downwards with his Tome to keep him from breaking his legs in the process. "I hope you appreciate this," he huffed to the Relic riding along with him at the same time.

Masae Kanegawa

Fortunately for her back, Masae was quickly able to procure the assistance of some random student passing by once she exited from the batcave down to the regular hallway. It made things easier on her as the two of them gently carried Aderyn to the nurses office with her between them, the most care given to her leg.

Of course she had to explain the story, but it helped that she didn't really know what had happened. All she knew was that her friend had been attacked and dislocated her leg. The possibility of the guy she was with being responsible lingered somewhere in her mind, but for now she would trust him. It was better than having to carry Aderyn to the nurses office herself.

"Man, that sucks," the guy whose name she didn't know, with brown hair, blue eyes, some freckles, and clad in suitably weather appropriate clothes, said as they rounded a corner together. "Who'd think something like that would happen here?"

Obviously he had not heard the stories about the Sweepers, but she kept that to herself for the moment. Instead she nodded before glancing over at him. "Surprised you aren't on DGO right now for that war or whatever. It seems like everyone else is." The halls were practically deserted by this point as people responded to the call to arms for the fight.

The guy chuckled, rubbing the back of his head with a grin. "Actually I was on my way there when you found me. There was some stuff that I needed to pick up here first, that was all." Ah, a fairly reasonable explanation then, so she could only thank her good fortune for it. "What about you?"

Masae turned forwards as she frowned. "I...don't really do DGO, honestly. It just doesn't interest me, and there's no point risking my levels in some war that I don't care about." A bit of a lie, but she figured that it was alright. The only thing she really did care about in this war was Aderyn's well being.

"Ah, okay. Well, I can understand that. It's not for everyone." The two of them fell silent as they at last arrived at the nurses office, where at least the teachers would be waiting for them. It was lucky for her that she had been so quick, since it looked like she might have left now that the festival was effectively over. At that point Masae bid farewell to her helper, who waved as he ran off now that Adery had been handed off to the nurse. That had been helpful, but now she was back to helping her friend.

With that she fell into a supportive role, walking along as the nurse went about helping Aderyn onto a bench and preparing to set her leg before the paramedics showed up. They could have a second look, just in case she missed something. Or Masae had made an error in calling them, which wouldn't have been a complete surprise. For now she merely prepared to assist as the nurse went about applying some ice to the dislocated leg, and got ready to put it back in place.

So, uh, why's she a mad scientist again?

@ReaptheMusic You just log in there's a ton of EXP just fucking waiting for you, like straight from Lv1 to Lv7 in three seconds because of someone that physically could not give a damn.

@Mega Birb

Nice to know that Dark Wraith is so generous.

The War of the Three

So @Banana, does Bonesword plan to do anything with Tatiana, or is he just gonna make his escape? Cause if the latter then I'll just take the timeskip to the end in order to deflect any anger as a result of boredom that might be directed at me by the GMs

The War of the Three

I believe what @The 42nd Gecko is a spot similar to the 'quiet sectors' in the Western Front in WW1. A place where enemies faced off across the trenches, but generally fighting was low intensity and fairly sporadic. This was generally allowed for multiple reasons, on both sides of the border. It was a place where new units could get a taste of combat before being sent to somewhere more active, it allowed units that had been through recent battles a chance to rest and recover before being deployed again, and it allowed for the guys in charge to better concentrate all their resources to the fights that they believed mattered.

This is in comparison to, say, Ypres, where every day was hellish combat. In such a 'quiet sector', you'd be more likely to have a relationship with the enemy beyond 'shoot on sight', even if it's just leaving cigarettes for the enemy patrol when they come around (Just watch out for the snipers). And since war profiteeering Neutrals aren't a thing, it's the most likely place where regular faction members could interact outside of irregular challenges like the current fight.

Still can't get Tatiana's name right :(

The War of the Three

Naruto logic tells us that wind enhances flames. A molatov would just create an inferno that would burn up everyone.

@TheWindel

Not if they get to the void space that Juno made quick enough

The War of the Three

I'm not liable for any lost appendages, but will be amused at the sight.

@KoL

It's okay, we can fix amputated limbs. Like Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow
