Would like to throw out my interest in case y'all are still accepting!

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Blur rocketed away after the first tank went up in flames, and with good timing too. No sooner did the tanks deploy their smoke and evasive maneuvers was Swarm hailing round after round of missiles down at them. There was simply no way she could try to move in and engage the last tank through both the fog and the rest of the explosions, so instead she prepped more demo charges and once again took off in a wide arc around the mobile cloud of smoke.

"Moving into the tank's estimated path, watch your fire."

It took a while to clear enough of a distance to get an idea of where the tank was going as well as where in the cloud it might be, and the latter was more of a shaky guess than anything. As Swarm's artillery continued to rain down, she set a row of charges on the ground crossing the cloud's path. That done, she tore off again, this time taking to the sky to get a better vantage point. If the tank veered off its current path, her plan was foiled, and even if it didn't she'd have to guess when to detonate the charges once the cloud passed over them. Not a great plan, but given the circumstances...

Sounds good, will do!

Sorry about the brief silence, been a hectic week. Will have a post up this evening for sure!

Willo

Willo tuned into the conversation just long enough to hear that they would likely be able to actually kill whatever was awaiting them, and then turned her attention to the castle once more. Dark passages, plenty of old toppled things to climb on, chandeliers oh my god it was a castle there were probably going to be chandeliers she could hardly wait.

“... take this lightly, as this may be one of the biggest challenges you’ll have ever faced.”

She blinked, that didn't sound right, Lazarus normally wasn't one to encourage levity, or lightheartedness, or fun. Perhaps she'd missed that low, foreboding "Do-Not" that she'd come to see as one of their teacher's trades. Guffaw to that, Willo thought, this was their last big step to becoming fully-fledged Hunters, like hell she was gonna treat it like some sort of examination. She was going to cut all the beasties and climb all the things, and she was gonna have fun doing it dammit.

"If you have any further questions you can ask them once were at the castle. I'd prefer the rest of the way be spent in silence."

@NanoFreakV2

With a lowering of her head, Willo mumbled something that vaguely sounded like "Yes sir..." before following along. Fine, no singing, humming, whistling, talking, whispering, or anything that could even possibly anger Lazarus. She knew well enough the difference between annoyance and fury, and while she'd never outright seen their teacher display anything much above his normal register, Willo was in no rush to push the envelope any further.

Instead she busied herself by observing the town they entered. Dull for the most part, all dim-yellow lights and ye-olde architecture, but there was something to be said for the comforting feel it brought. Rare were the times Willo felt she could truly relax in their day and age, but as they meandered through the streets, she felt a calming warmth within her. Then in a flicker it was gone when Lazarus came to a stop outside of the bustling tavern. Fifteen minutes? What could he get done in a tavern in fifteen minutes? Willo felt an overwhelming urge to follow the man, subtly of course, but figured it best to stay put. She liked to fancy herself a bit of a sneak, but to think she could trail a guy like their teacher without being noticed was ludicrous, even to her. So, she raised her arms up and stretched, letting out a pleasant trill at the popping of her joints, then looked to Ramone and Aelar, a big grin splitting her face.

"You guys ready? Can't wait to get in there, crack a few skulls, eh? Eh?" she said, giving Aelar a little nudge with her elbow. "Does kinda suck though, the whole closed-quarters thing, sorry Rammy. But hey I'm sure you can still put some good shots through their eyes, plus you got me an' Aelar here to make sure nothin' gets too close for comfort, y'know?"

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Eli watched Mad-E get into position, and Swarm swoop up high into the air, but her feet were stayed. The distant siege tanks were brought up in her HUD, and though they did not look to be in the best of shape collectively, they were still armed to the tooth and ready to blow anything that got close to shreds.

Her allies struck first: Swarm unleashing his hail of missiles, and Mad-E her cluster of explosives. They hit well for the most part, but in the ensuing exchange she saw both of them receive a fair potion of damage as well. Swarm was high enough to avoid a brunt attack, but Mad-E looked to have been stuck high on the body, and Eli felt a lump form in her throat.

She quickly opened their comms channel. "Madison, Joe, damage report."

So soon. They aren't dead. You couldn't survive a hit like that. Our NCs are different, they're fine.

To her side, the radio clicked to life again. "Lizzy? Is everything alright? ...Who got hurt?"

"No one got hurt, Vi, everything's fine," she said, gripping the controls. "I need a quick moment, alright?"

"Sure..." Vera said quietly. "Be safe okay?"

"Yes ma'am."

There was no longer time to waste, at this range Eli was sure that they couldn't outlast the veritable fortresses forever. She brought up Blur's single-unit targeting system and scanned over the two tanks. The information she got was simple at best, no blueprints, no integrity readings, not even the caliber of their ammunition. It did however show her that the aft turret of the less-optimal tanks was more or less out of the picture. With a passing mental confirmation, the system focused upon tank #1. Still she was given very little information regarding the enemy itself, but her mind was flooded with lists of options for approach.

Blur's engines flared to life, and she rocketed to the side in a wide arc around the battlefield. She'd have to approach from the damaged side in hopes that she could close the distance before they re-positioned --if they even could. When the angle was good, Blur shot off in a storm of dirt and dust towards the tank. She did not reach for her energy blade, damned if that would do her much good against such heavy armor, nor did she go for the shotgun. Instead, Blur prepared a demolition charge, keeping it ready for priming. Against an NC, prolonging close-range combat was ideal, but she didn't know what the tanks might have up their sleeves, so the quicker she could get in and get out, the better.

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

Got a pretty hefty workload to get finished today, will be able to collab tomorrow.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Got a few heavier assignments to finish today. I'll try to get a post up this evening, but if not, there will certainly be one tomorrow!

Damn dude, good luck with everything on the RL side, sounds like a rough time.

Did Arnold just ask Sapphire out on the weirdest date ever?
