and

~2235: Isamu Transport Truck Inbound to Facility 1202~

The truck shook for a moment as the driver took a sharp turn at high speed, but it didn't seem to bother Dieter much. No, he was having to handle a far bigger problem at hand.

"How dare you sideline me! Just who do you think I am?!" Spoke up the voice he had been expecting during this little debriefing. The voice belonged to none other than Hanzoku Isamu, Maylis's younger cousin, and next in line for family head as things currently stood.

An exasperated sigh escaped the usually otherwise calm and stoic man. He even rolled his eyes as he began to massage his temple. How could he best explain this in simple terms for the girl to understand? He had been against her even being added to the team in the first place. Her attitude was horrible and unsuited for co-ordinated team missions was just scratching the surface of the various reasons why he had objected.

"I'm fully aware of who you are Lady Hanzoku. That is exactly the reason why you're on extraction duty. I won't have any harm coming to the Isamu heir on my watch and you would simply get in our way." Narrowing his eyes at the girl as he spoke, he simply laid out the facts for her. This mission was fair too sensitive to let Hanzoku have free reign on the battlefield, and there was no guarantee of her safety. It was the safe call that one would expect Dieter to make. "You can't even control your magic. The only reason you're here is on Lady Maylis's orders, I'm under no obligation to let you get yourself hurt or worse out there. Hence you're a liability."

While he was most certainly being harsh with the younger girl, he needed her to understand her and his positions here. He did need to add one more thing though as she looked to chime up again.

"So observe how the team operates, learn what you can and then maybe, just maybe I'll let you participate in the coming missions. So stay here, behave yourself and take this opportunity to learn the ropes and earn a place in the field."

While Dieter dealt with Hanzoku, Whina had made her way to the trio that made up Team B. While she was also saddened that she wasn't going out into the field as well, it was to be expected. Her magic wasn't made for combat like this, plus all her gear would be far too crude and heavy to lug around on the battlefield or in the building. It was for the best that she stayed in the truck and directed the girls on where to go. They seemed to already be in something resembling a discussion of tactics, so Whina decided to chime in.

"Don't worry Ms. Isano, I'll guide you three to avoid the need to fight anyone at all! Umm on that note..." with an enthusiastic nod of her head, she quickly reached into her pockets and pulled out three sets of what looked to be earpieces with a weird chunk of plastic hanging off the side. "Take these. They'll be our link throughout the operation." She would hand one to each of the three members before taking a moment to compose herself, pulling out a fourth pair and putting it on.

"T-these earpieces are not just for communication. But by placing this piece over your eye like so," She would slide the piece of plastic over her eye as she spoke. "I can patch in building layouts, enemy positions, security feed-whatever we need really."

After waiting for them to put the pieces in, helping them if needed, the truck came to skidding stop, threatening to hurl anyone not prepared off their feet. Whina feel back onto her read end, the confusion evident on her face as Dieter grabbed Hanzoku and pulled her in towards him. The truck shook again, this time threatening to tilt over on its side before slowly leveling back out. Dieter cursed loudly, looking around the truck as he barked some quick instructions.

"The truck is currently under attack. Sora deal with the issue, rest of Team A with me. We're getting out now. Team B, your stop is the next one. But it looks like the truck won't be able to stop, so you're going to have to jump. Looks like you got your wish Lady Hanzoku, it's not safe here so you're coming with us. Team C, stay safe and keep the truck intact with Sora till pickup is needed." As he spoke, he made his way to the back of the truck and kicked a small hatch open, the sudden change of pressure causing the wind to whip around anything not held down like Kazumi's robes or her and Ren's fluffy ears and tail to flutter about wildly. The white-haired Sora quickly pushed past and dived out, the wind seemingly catching him before he took off upwards.

"Oh and Whina, head in with Team B now as well. The truck is going to have to leave your equipment range after-all." Pale-faced, Whina went to object but Dieter had already jumped out the back of the truck, expecting Roya and Tenma to follow suit, punching the ground as he landed. The ground cracked from the impact of his fist hitting the hard asphalt of the road, softening his fall as he held a still squirming and wriggling Hanzoku. Upon the other two leaving the truck, Dieter would direct them to follow him to take cover in a nearby warehouse so they could gather their bearings.

---

After staring at the back of the truck for a while, seemingly in disbelief as Dieter, Roya and Tenma made their way out, Whina looked back at Rena, Lucia and Kasumi now, seemingly trying to creep away from the trio. "Umm, I-I uh don't think I'm really needed out there, I'm sure you guys can handle yours-" The truck shook again, this time launching Whina and anyone else not expecting the impact into the air...and somehow straight out the back of the open truck. This would hurt unless someone helped her out.

Arknights: The Dark Woods (ENDED)

Welp, this much was to be expected wasn't it?

Upon landing atop the beast, the girl didn't exactly have the physical prowess to stay there for very long. She had never been very good on those bucking bull machines anyway. Launched into the air, she braced for impact with the hard dead ground, but instead found herself once more being caught by a fellow operator, though instead of Dragonheart instead it was Wu. "Umm thank you." With a sheepish grin, she just laid in his arms as the girl waited for the Defender operator to put her down. No? He was just going to stand there holding her? Ok, she wasn't going to complain as she stared at his feline ears. Would he mind if she petted them?

She ignored what he said for the time being as she watched the occasional twitching of his ears, only when he made an assessment on her physical condition did she pay him proper attention. "I uh...panicked a little during the drop. But the others said they were coming right behind us, so they shouldn't be far out! Who knows, maybe they've found your friend? Or maybe they're on their way to Riventor, that seems the proper place for us all to meet up at yeah?" Was it optimism or naivety, one couldn't be certain. Perhaps a mixture of both. But the girl seemed to genuinely believe what she said, a beaming smile on her face as she wriggled free of Wu's grip, landing softly on her feet as her multiple tails stretched out. "Speaking of which, we should get going there yeah? That's where the teams would be meeting after the uh...early landing procedure."

Update post will be either this Friday, or after Claw's post. Whichever comes around later I suppose XD

Mahoukyo: Magical Mishaps

Nor can I, she’s indeed stronger than I to hold back her urges

Overlord: How Like A God

I've updated the final notes as well as the equipment for what I feel would roughly describe her kit. I might alter her lore slightly as well, but idk might leave it as is. (maybe more to add a snippet on Akai's persona more than anything else. But uh as you can guess, she's the edgy lone wolf lol)

Arknights: The Dark Woods (ENDED)

"Yeah but I don't want to set the forest on fire!" Oblivious to the disadvantages that clinging to him forced upon Dragonheart, the girl clung on for dear life as he took off and sprinted away from the wolf. The vulpo kept her eyes firmly shut as she curled up against his chest, all nine of her tails wrapping firmly around him to secure her without hindering his movements. If anything, one tail would shoot out and steady them by grabbing onto a nearby tree if they stumbled, or swat at a branch to move it to help him maneuver through the forest unhindered. She elected not to look over his shoulder and instead pay more attention to their more immediate surroundings, she didn't want to see the monstrous wolf closing on them. It was bad enough she could hear it's hulking mass tear through the forest through brute force alone!

So when Dragonheart asked her to close her eyes, well she did as he asked as he threw his weapon. It was easy to guess what would happen next as she felt him leap off the ground, her body feeling weightless for that moment in time before the soft thud of him latching onto the tree branches above, feeling it sway for a moment before settling. Opening her eyes as Dragonheart ran her through their immediate options. She gave it a moment to think over, it was a good plan. They needed to work out their location and the ground below was well...she could hear the wolf snarling and snapping at the tree beneath them. Obviusly not ready to give up the hunt on its prey. She couldn't really argue against this, though heights were uh...not her thing. It was better than the alternative!

Starting to unravel her tails from around him, she opened her mouthto respond before a moving figure caught her eye. Was it another wolf?! Was it something worse?! Oh god...oh wait. It was someone familiar to her, a feline man by the name of Wu. He was a fellow operator of the Haynek Institute, a defender if memory served the girl. He was on another team though she couldn't remember which, to be honest she hadn't paid the greatest amount of attention during the debrief. "Last one down is a rotten egg!" Watching as Wu slammed the monstrous creature against the tree, she shot a teasing grin towards Dragonheart before completely detaching her tails from him which allowed her to drop down from the tree.

As she fell, little wisps of fire formed around her. Numbering about five or so and rapidly circling the girl, she quickly called out to Wu "Move if you don't want to get hit!" After warning her fellow operator, she shot off all five wisps at once. Upon impacting the wolf they immediately denoted, washing the creature over with heat and smoke as well as the force of the explosions. Now she still had the problem of falling from the tree of course, but she had faith that she could land on the wolf.

Maybe. Hopefully. And from there? Well...uh she hadn't thought far enough ahead, but hey she could try and wrapn her tails up around it! Oh! Or maybe she could just pummel him with her wisps from close up! Speaking of which, five more were around circling her the instant the previous five had shot off.
