The War of the Three

I'd like Fran teleported close enough to Pink to get an idea where she's at. If those pink wisps are floating around then I want Fran close enough that she can tell where the wisps are going towards.

@Lucius Cypher

Victoire can get Fran as close as is reasonably possible. Her portal need to be close to their target, that's how they roll, at least for the time being.

Pls no dogpile.

@Silvan Haven

Poor @Lonewolf685, you just hurt his feelings now.

The War of the Three

This would be the moment where the underdog team needs to get together and focus their efforts against their common enemy, but their personality and differences makes that hard until the final second where they can work together just long enough to deny defeat.

@Ryonara

Romantic, aren't we?

By the way, talking about team work:

@Awesomoman64 Do you want Victoire to teleport Balrog to some place where he can have a fight? The most even match for him would be the Harvester. Victoire can get a familiar there since they are already skulking close to the Machina base camp and teleport Balrog straight on HR-513's face. I'm kinda wishing to see this fight, since Grafdaka/Zeruel/etc. aren't around this time.

@Lucius Cypher I can still have Victoire teleport Fran to Pink. I didn't want you to edit you post since you know our rules for that. Nothing is keeping Victoire from doing it now, since Fran didn't catch the clue at first.

@Banana@Lmpkio Same for Apia and Gelgath, if you want them to get out of the boondocks and join a fight, just name the target of your choice that's not a robot in the middle of nowhere, like Utada, and Victoire can get them there.

I'll likely post again tomorrow or Saturday. If any of you wants to post before this time, you can consider that Victoire will do your requests. If not, you can say it here on the OOC and I'll have her do it on my next post.

Gotta keep the Demon ball rollin'!

The War of the Three

This has just become a professional soccer game. Now all that the Demons need to do is play like dicks and stall until the time is over.

Not glorious but pays your bills. Art is dead, after all.

@Silvan Haven@Ryonara

I'll reply with Farris as soon as I get some time. Hibiki's actions might as well be to Saef and Farris' advantage. As long as they don't die to the laser, which if hard since Hibiki isn't aiming at them), being underground is the best place they can be when it comes to fight against a fighter jet.

The War of the Three

PS:

Because, yeah, if no one noticed it until now, Victoire never ever won a battle alone. Her strategy relies on the others distracting the enemy for long enough her roses to go critical, it was always like this (just like how she had Henry cover her back on Arcadia). She just pulls the weight by being a superior strategist, not by being broken OP.

Doesn't change a thing anyway, but I had to point it in detail, since no one ever seem to notice anything unless it's on their direct sole benefit. She empowered the Demons' game, not stole everyone's spotlight.

Anyway, have fun.

The War of the Three

And this is when Victoire goes Light Yagami on people. Hopefully the other Demons will get the cue and shoot their enemies in the back while the Angels and Machina go: "WTF!? Did she do it again or was that a bluff?"

The War of the Three

Waiting for @Ryonara until the weekend before I post with Farris again.

Victoire grinned maliciously. The time had finally come to employ the greatest tactic in the arsenal of any self-respecting Demon: Terror. Knowing very well how everyone felts about the inexorable doom spelled by her beloved roses, the Blood Countess felt like growing bolder and finishing this battle in one fell swoop. It was impossible for anything short of a miracle to detain her by now. Why not have fun with her conquest?

"I'd like to beg for a moment of your attention, ladies, and gentlemen of the Triumvirate. From this moment forward, I, Victoire Bordeaux, announce that the Graveyard of the Lost belongs to the newly forged Demon Oligarchy. Demons, let us raise a toast in their name with the blood of our foes! Those who wish to escape the pain of death, leave this place now, for there's no more hope of your victory," Victoire broadcast her speech to all living beings through the battlefield using her telepathy. Naturally, if someone was immune to mental effects, or didn't have blood within themselves, wouldn't listen to her words, but this was their own fault. She left the information of whether her roses were about to overrun the landscape or not unmentioned for obvious reasons.

"I really hope that the others are smart enough to capitalize on the chaos that this will generate and take down their targets while they are guessing whether I bluffed or not. Attacking while your opponent is distracted is the least I expect of any Demon," Victoire thought. Even if the Blood Countess was the one that would pull the weight of this victory —just as always— the mere fact that she was the only being in the Demon army that used team based strategies placed her in a different class than the rest. As long as the others weren't stupid enough to doubt her support, instead of capitalizing on it, the Demons had absolutely no chance of losing.

A moment later, her part of attention changed to a being waiting on the door of the chamber she claimed as a temporary base of operations. Already expecting their presence, Victoire faced the smoke demon, flashing a fanged grin. "I see that you followed one of my children all the way to this place," she said, calling the shadow bat to her lap and petting it, "What do I owe for being graced with the presence of perhaps the only being in the Nexus that's brazen enough to consume my children of their own volition?" Victoire asked while eyeing the being from head to toe. Despite their difference in size, while she was sitting on her makeshift skull throne, and kept her cool confidence like this, Victoire was certain that she had everything under control.

And... if all else failed, she could just live up to her words and skewer the smoke demon from inside out by turning the blood he consumed into more Demon Roses.

The War of the Three

I'll try to get a post up tomorrow.

@Ryonara

No worries, like I said on Discord: Take your time. Also, I appreciate you taking out Hibiki's immunity to Victoire's roses, but egein, just like I said: after this one more time things happened in the same way as ever, despite I trying my best not to, I'm too burned and can't really make anything without fear of causing trouble to anyone that might dislike any of my character's style. At least for a few months, I'll keep to what I said above. If, someday in the future, I get my mood back up to try one more time, then we can discuss what to do about all of this mess.

One has to know when to fold, before breaking.

The War of the Three

I'm in the same boat as KoL. Need to wait for Ryonara to post before responding to Harvester.

@Silvan Haven

If Ryo doesn't post until the weekend, we move onward. He usually has a IRL issues that come out of the blue, so we know better than wait too much on a reply from him. That said, I still want to give it just a bit more time. At most Saturday, we will continue. I don't wanna have this battle get stuck by any means. The faster we end it, the better it'll be for everyone.
