None of that even fits anything at all concerning Johnathan's character... And not only that but from the mouth of that ear retching dumbass randy newman? Sorry but, i find that your attempted and ridiculous "parallels" of thought are entirely and completely wrong.

@Happy Go Lucky

As I said it was me just doing me thing and thinking out loud. I was not implying anything and that was how my brain was moving at the time. I'm sorry if I offended you or anything for that was not my intention. If you would prefer I shall remove the post and replace it with a funny picture.

You know I think I may be a kind of a horrible person because whenever I was reading Jonathan's struggle in his mind, I was always humming a tune in my head whenever his shadow spoke and I couldn't but a finger on where it was from until now. A song from the one and only Randy Newman about a boy called Davy. And I think I know maybe its how that narrator in that song has many distinct and somewhat creepy parallels to Jonathan's shadow. Or I'm just crazy and drawing parallels in a way that conspiracy theorists is crazy in their drawing of parallels probably that one. XD

That reminds me, I need to get to a work on my post eventually. I probably should wait to see what @Reaper and @PrincessOfNothing do before I make Trapp act. But to be fair it is going to end up the same way anyway with Trapp somehow floating away in a gravitational lock towards a fiery doom because plot.

@Blu
Yes the dungeon boss, you know the thing that still exists and we will have to deal with after having spent the last several minutes beating the respective crap out of one another, because team bonding experiences are important and deadly! But most importantly deadly!

<Snipped quote by Hexaflexagon>

The rubber band's deadlier than you think. The damage is 2.5x not just 2x ;)

@Blu

Oh I'll adjust that then. That makes it what 20 x 2.5 that's 50.......


what the hell are those things made of?! lol

Bride Shadow made two mistakes.
1: She questioned Masako's honor and in extension her pride
2: Trying to be mean to an adorable puppy like human
XD

And so Masako used Heroic resolve! And depending on how Bride reacts this can either end horribly or rather touching. But it is a risk she is willing to take, because she is a hot headed idiot.

Oh and Haruto may have just been hit with the deadliest rubber band of all time. XD

"You are just lying! Always lying! Liars! Just like dad, like those perverted fuckers just freaking liars!"

As Minto's shadow yelled its distress and anger at the world, Masako could do nothing but stand there and take it all. The words of hate and anger everything that had once been all boiled up suddenly ripping through and being let loose. The floodgates had been broken in more ways then one. Yet Masako knew those feelings as well maybe not in the same way that Minto was feeling them but she had felt abandoned by the world as well at times, to have everything pulled out from under you like some kind of magic trick. So she wasn't going to just back down because of some name calling and the threat of death by garden implement though if she could not get murdered by a rake that would be cool as well. She stood firm looking at the masked figure approaching her contorted somewhere between anger and despair almost like a caged animal. Her eyes looking into the yellow ones as Bride's shadow sung low with the rake. She took it at the legs the rake sweeping her leg out from underneath her as she hit the ground with an omph. But then a different voice caught her attention.

__>HP: 39/69

"...re-a...real..ly?...fri...end...s?"

And for a moment the eyes behind that butterfly masked changed and they were soft and innocent, lost, afraid. For a moment Masako thought she had reached Minto but moments later whatever that things was grabbed control again and forced its way back into control. This anger Masako this thing whatever it was had no right, had no reason to torment somebody with eyes that innocent, nobody had the right to dictate somebodies life life that. And yet here it was doing just that. Masako channeled her own inner resolve, something roaring deep inside of her letting her get back to her feet as she armed her rubberband gun almost like an automaton running on instinct and anger. Her hair was frizzled and her uniform now stained with dirt and dust. Her breath panting as she regain her center and raised the rubber band gun up to the shadow and yet she couldn't fire. Looking at those evil yellow eyes and a face masked with tears, she could only see the gentle orange ones from a moment before, her damn head was getting the better of her. And so she yelled in frustration, that thing inside of her roaring again. "I'm sick and tired of all this creepy mask bullshit!"

And she fired. But she the gun was not directed towards Bride, no she instead fired towards the others more in desperation and anger than anything else. The little rubber band came out of the launching mechanism with a deadly passion as it whizzed through the air charged with some angry fury as it found its target hitting into the chest of Haruto. Upon impact it exploded again into static but this explosion was bigger than the previous one the static flashing red for a moment like a strike of red lighting. Masako barely even registered it her eyes never leaving that of her assailant in the butterfly mask.

__>Rolled 20!
__>C-C-C-C Critical Hit!
__> 20 x 2.5 = 50!
__> 50 piercing damage to Haruto!

At this Masako holstered her rubber band gun and took three determined steps towards Bride, coming into striking distance. As she did she used one hand to grab the front end of the rake drawing it up to her head where her eyes never stopped starring with an angry determination into those devilish yellow ones. Blue and yellow came into fierce contact as she addressed the Shadow with some very serious words. "I'm many things. I'm a total disappoint to my father, I'm terrible at school, I'm terrified out of my fucking mind right now and I can be a real jerk sometimes. But you know what I'm not? I'm no damn liar and you better believe that I'll make sure you understand that." As she said this she brought her other hand up also onto the rake steadying it aligning it perfectly with her skull for the shadow but as she did she spoke again. "Minto... I really want to be your friend, so does Kauzo and everybody else. But before that can happen you need to wake up and you need to stop this. But if you think I'm lying crack my skull open now and be done with it. But if you know that I'm not, please stop this. Come on kid where all waiting for you."

So This Just happened

And now I kind of want Masako to feel like this guy.

Masako took a step back from the approaching butterfly masked assailant with the gardening implement. Getting hit with a rake did not seem like a very good time to her. Masako held her rubberband gun up in front of her, arm still shaking though a mixture of actual dread and adrenaline slamming through her body at a rapid fire pace, speeding up her heart and breathing as each sensation and touch became highlighted. Honestly though she really did'nt want to hurt anyone of them, sure it was probably the only way to save themselves fight or die and all that but they were humans too weren't they? Just a few moments ago they were her fellow classmates getting ready to go save their teacher from evil monster. Just because they were experience some mental trauma or whatever Kauzo was trying to explain to them it did'nt mean that they were suddenly free game to go start using as personal punching bags. But then again she did'nt want to get hurt herself did she? No that wouldn't help anyone, she continued to try and find her resolve as she took a step away from Bride.

Of course though Kazuo made it painfully clear that he wasn't just going to be able to use his magic powers alone to save the day and that they were going to have to work together to get through this. Which meant everybody had to be totally on board for the oncoming fight. Watching the others take hits and then come back swinging though that was something though. It was something that Masako despite her bravado nature doubted that she could do on her on, yet in the moment she felt inspired by them like she could take on the world on whatever. Kazuo, Shinku and Dai both reacted with the uttermost calmness and grace under pressure in the face of adversity that she couldn't let them down now be freaking out. No that wasn't the right choice, the right choice was to seize adversity by the horns and face it like they did. Coming up with this sudden powerful resolve she began to move into action only to have Bride come in hard with the rake.

__> HP: 69/69
__>15 DAMAGE!
__>HP: 54/69

The butterfly masked assailant came in with a surprising amount of strength and speed for such a feminine frame and the thwack the resounding against her side would surely leave a bruise in the morning. Scrunching her eyes in pain she stumbled to the left the wind knocked out of her momentarily. She righted herself and took a step back creating at least some distance but as Bride came in for the swing Masako had noticed something a sadness a sort of pain the yellow eyes as the thing that was not her classmate and at the same time was seemed to be at war with itself. So as Masako moved back to readjust her firing lane to properly support her teammates she called out to the butterfly masked individual with a psychological shot in the dark. "Hey your name is Minto right? Or at least that's what the teacher said your name is. Listen I know you probably can't here me right now and if you saw anything like I did looking at the T.V you are dealing with stuff. But listen you keep muttering stuff about friends and stuff. I don't know if you have lots of friends but you seem pretty cool, heck your prettier than me! So we could be friends. But you know we can't do that if you bash my head in with a rake. So could you stop please?"

As Masako made her own appeal to the heart she turned her attention towards her teammates. They currently seemed to be focusing fire on Saito. That sounded tactically sound in Masako's head concentrate your fire so you can take guys down quicker and even the numbers quicker. So Masako joined the fight and raised her rubberband gun taking a breath to steady herself and get a bead she fired moments later.

__> Rolled 18!
__> 20 Piercing Damage to Masked Saito!

Through sheer force of luck it seemed to shot hit home flying through the air the rubber band came to a halt against the side of masked Saito's head exploding into static upon contact. Masako did'nt know how much of an effect it caused but from that static display she at least hoped it was something. As she reloaded she turned her attention back to Bride getting ready for anymore rake attacks.

All you artsy folk make my terribly drawn stick figures seem inadequate. XD
Guess I shall always be regulated to the worlds of Photography and playing my bass.

@Blu
Question with our virtual dice roller do you take the first roll that comes up like as soon as you open it and it already has a nice number for you or do you roll again. Just asking because that is a difference between an 18 the roll that came up when the thing opened or a 2 the one that came after that. XD Those will effect things accordingly lol.
