Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

It didn't don on Cinwi until Jin had left to wonder just what a Chaser was doing with a Youkai healer in their pocket. Did the woman do this sort of thing a lot, or was it a one-off thing? Was she here on her own will or were Jun and his other Chaser buddies holding her hostage? Either way, she didn't need to think on it long, as there was little doubt the "Dangeki" place he had been talking about was a veritable hub for Chasers. The sight of so many set her defensive nature off, red flags flying panicked in her head, and she scurried away without another word. Best of luck to the Jun guy, but fucked if she was gonna be around that many of those bastards for any extended amount of time. She'd had enough unfriendly run-ins to know that most would attack first and ask questions after, and in Cinwi's case, neither were good outcomes.

So with her newly-regained energy, she clambered atop one of the nearby building's fire escapes and ascended to the roof. Peeking her head out, she was relieved to find it empty, and though she no longer had most of her disguise, the hood would do well enough to hide her face. It took Cinwi a few moments to register that there wasn't much for her to do except hide, that much of what was going on in the city would mean her death if she misstepped. She nevertheless meandered along the adjacent rooftops, careful not to fall and careful not to do anything too over-exerting on the off chance that the healer's magic was a hack job. It seemed like she would be holing up for the night beneath an awning until a particularly gruesome sight caught her eye.

Trailing down the street were more than a dozen Youkai, all prone and sprawled out, some writhing, some still, all alive and in immense agony. Her mouth went agape, and the familiar pit started forming in her stomach. She pushed it back, and her cautious fear was unsurprisingly replaced with anger. Fucking. Chasers. Did she have the best relationship with her own kind? No, but damned if she was gonna sit by and let some uppity shithead human rampage through the streets leaving them for dead.

Cinwi made her way down to the street-level, whereupon she followed the trail of groaning Youkai. It took more than a slight amount of self control to keep from trying to talk with them, she knew there was nothing in her power that could help, and like hell was she going back to that Chaser nest. The best thing she could do was hope to find whoever had caused this, or find out if anyone had been left truly alive. At length she came upon a house, at which point the trail of Youkai ceased. It looked to be in pretty shitty shape, but then it was likely the scene of a battle. As she prepared to enter she thought over what she might do. Close quarters were her advantage, and if she could catch the Chaser by surprise there'd be no fight at all, unless they were some fucking master in which case... she didn't want to think about that, just go in, rip and tear, and get out. Easy peasy. She took a deep breath, her claws at the ready, and charged inside, a ferocious roar bubbling in her throat.

And yet the moment she entered it died away. What she found was no Chaser, clearly, the seated figure's mere presence attested to that. There was blood everywhere, but she could see no body, and for what it was worth the fucker looked pretty pleased with himself. She blinked, surprised, and her savage preparations for attack waned away. Instead she stood up straight and looked around. Holy shit, was she late? Her attention turned to him, and though she wouldn't dare admit it, the guy creeped her the hell out.

"You alright? Looks like you already took care of whoever the fuck this was," she said, motioning to the red splatters. "Hey there's prolly gonna be a shitload more Chasers heading this way soon, so you might want to get moving. Not smart to test your luck with these fuckers."

@Javier

Cinwi's prolly coming too so definitely don't be dead :U

~Gakuen Kill: Academy of Assassins~

There would never be a quiet moment at this school, of this Mashuka was now certain. No matter how much he longed to enjoy a meal, or how desperately he prayed to not be violently attacked at every potential turn, it seemed that his pleas would fall forever on deaf ears. Or, more fittingly, the animal-like ears of the masked assassins that so abruptly rushed into the cafeteria.

Around him he saw many of the students mobilize a defense, flipping tables and drawing weapons. He just sat with noodles hanging from his mouth until one of the bastards actually went after him, whereupon he all but flung himself back and onto the floor, before kicking his seat up and tripping the would-be assailant. His hand went to the knife once again, and once again he stayed himself from drawing it.

You draw this blade not in defense, but with intent. Clean it or bloody it, but do not leave it unsated.

He grimaced and pulled his hand away, scanning the environment. The students seemed to be putting up a most formidable counter-attack, and in truth he thought the best idea for him might just be to run. No risk, no hurting anyone, it would work out fine. Yeah.

--"Watch out!"--

The shout grabbed his attention, and Mashuka turned to see an unfamiliar girl shoving another unfamiliar girl out of harm's way. A valiant, admirable deed for anyone, assassin or not. Undeserving, he thought, of the treacherous end the rabbit-masked assailant evidently had planned for her. Mashuka sprinted, and somewhere deep down he might have tried to call upon that stranger side of him that he'd encountered back at the prison, but alas no wind came to aid his movement, and he could only hope his speed was enough.

He barreled into the rabbit-assassin, aiming to take both of them to the ground and away from the girl. While he certainly ended up smacking on the tile, he had to rely on the element of surprise and the weight of his attack to determine whether or not the plan had actually worked.

Cinwi let Jin's last comment simmer for a bit, and it took an active will to bite her tongue back and say nothing, if only just to spite that 'abrasive' part. Decent person? What the hell would he know, they only met a little while ago and he still didn't know who she was or what she'd done. Even still deep down the comment did lift her spirits ever so slightly, and she legitimately wished it was warranted. With any luck, the next time she got involved in an incident he wouldn't be around to see what she was really like.

At length they were approached by another Youkai, another humanoid one like herself. However the woman was tall, and white where Cinwi was blue. Fox ears topped her head instead of horns, and a fluffy tail extended from the back of her robes. Er...sort of robes, maybe thirty-percent of a robe, really, with how much seemed to be present. Regardless, she looked overwhelming soft, and a bit fuzzy, Cinwi couldn't help the thoughts of 'prey' snaking into her mind.

Then without a word the Youkai snapped her fingers and everything went bright, almost blindingly so. Cinwi covered her eyes with an arm, a guttural growl rumbling in her throat. However the instant she noticed her pain had vanished along with her wounds, the jumpy reaction turned curious. The light faded and sure enough, her body was in tact. The tears in her sleeves showed untorn, unscratched skin, and when she unwound the scarf segments covering the deeper gashes, she saw that those too had mended. Well shit, when Jin said 'healer' he really meant 'healer'.

Jin paid the woman and thanked her, and Cinwi realized she hadn't yet done that. Not that she had any money on her, but thanks to the healer if she ran into any more shitheads soon she'd at least be ready to take them. Oh well, it was easier to thank another Youkai than it was a human, let alone a Chaser. "And uh...thanks too."

Looks like we're just sticking to individual posts then?

@GingerBoi123 I think I've used that before, last I was on it supported four or so people just fine!

@Skyswimsky That's true enough, could be tough to organize a collab that size out of the blue. I'd say post-by-post but that also might get long quickly. Any recommendations?
