Losing the pink asthetic?


Industrial District

Things looked like they were working out alright. Having access to the air made fighting against the Wendigos fairly straightforward. However responding to a call by the feral creatures, a murder of crows that seemed to be endless began to swarm him and his mount. There was no way he could shock them all just with his magic. His Thunderbird reared back and nearly threw him off. It snapped and clawed at the tiny birds, but they were too numerous. "Hang on buddy, I got an idea." Rolling over the two would dive, a stream of black following after.

Swatting off clinging crows, Shane opened his tome as they pulled up just before hitting the ground. Skirting the streets and alleys they began collecting dust, dirt, and small chunks of rock. Before long he had a swirling torrent of earth that would remove the remaining crows directly on them. Keeping ahead of the bulk of the murder he pulled up and they began to climb to get some space and distance from the source of the crows. It also gave him time to set up. Dispersing the earthen material wide around him the particles would fly and scrape past one another like a whirlwind. The numerous interactions began to build a charge. Turning over to another page he summoned a ball of lightning and began to expand it. Electricity arced this way and that until the Thuderbird contributed.

In a burst of magic the space around Shane and his mount was engulphed by a field of electricity held together by the boy and fed by him, the dust, and his mount. Stalling and turning over the giant ball of electricity dove into the murder, shocking and sandblasting anything unfortunate enough to get to near. The others would have to deal with things on the ground while he would work on clearing the skies.

Seeing that her blast of magic obliterated her target, Ka'ris had a brief self celebration. First successful encounter! She observed that a contraption drove by with some humans inside of it. She made a mental note to observe these machines for contained humans in the future. It was then that she was approached by Penny and MDP. Penny asked a question but it was quickly buried by MDP's rush of words. Standing awkwardly her grin grew by the second. Some of the words were a little different than expected, but Ka'ris would adapt. Her eyes sparkled and she hopped from one foot to the other. A friend already! Not that she entirely knew what a friend was or really meant, but it seemed to be a big deal in the shows she'd seen. "You really like them? Fuu, that's a relief. I wasn't sure what people would think. Uhmm, yes. I would love to be your friend!" More success, she has made a connection with another magical girl.

Her gaze would go back to Penny and she would remember the original question. She would nod to the initial question of newness. "Mm, I am new. This magical girl thing is weird." She held our her arms and wiggled her fingers, still unused to the digits. "Oh, introductions! My name is Ka'ris Tal." She seemed to have a little trouble saying it right as she enunciated the name. "It's nice to meet you both." Overhead a big flock of birds rushed past in the direction of the Industrial District. Hovering off the ground she looked in the direction they were going. Facing back down she would point. "Is that normal?"

Wendigos, nasty creatures. These particular monsters required assistance when he had encountered them in the past. Beating them wasn't the trouble, keeping them down was another matter. Thankfully Paree could call in some assistance from a fiery magical girl. Thus was the nature of roaming from place to place. No telling if there would be others on hand to assist.

A dearth of magical girls was not something Penrose had an issue with. If anything the opposite was true. Shane sometimes wondered if it was a natural law of magic that drew more and more over time. One thing was for sure, turmoil followed. And yet despite how many times an attack occurred or how powerful someone got there always seemed to be a snapback that brought things back down. A lull had come after the Christmas party, as brief as it was.

Staying in and around the Sanctuary most of the time the hoard of Wendigos pretty quickly drew Shane's attention. While two of the three newcomers were being aided, the third was being persued by the monsters. A dark trail of storm clouds began to extend and reach from above in Hanna's direction. A Wendigo leaping at Hanna suddenly yelped as it was suddenly caught in the grasp of giant talons. From the dissipating cloud a giant bird was perched on the roof clutching the unfortunate horned creature already burning and crackling. As ruthless pack animals Wendigos were used to being up there at the top of nature's food chain. They were suddenly confronted by one of their rare natural predictors, a Thunderbird. Its wings spread wide it shrieked which could be heard in the neighboring district. Riding atop was Shane. He and his mount took to the air once more and began raining lightning on the remaining nine Wendigos that were now scrambling to avoid being struck or plucked off the ground.

Something was happening above. What was it? What were those sounds? Could... could it be? A manhole cover was blown out of the sidewalk which soared off into the next block. Having crawled her way from deep in Penrose sewers, a small magical girl popped up out onto the streets. Unfazed by the horrid smell of sewage her bright eyes and cheery grin scanned the landscape. So this was human civilization. How very- oh what's that? She grabbed a fallen road sign. The jewel on her chest projected a light on the object and it was promptly transported into her Hammerspace Handbag.

Back to looking around. There was a magical girl, or what what she assumed was a magical girl anyway. She looked more metal than most of the depictions of fleshy humans. Would that be a mecha girl? Regardless the individual was ruthlessly attacking weird skeletal faced creatures. Surely these must be the monsters they must defeat. Turning a bit she identified three remaining Wendigos that had yet to be engaged. Perfect, time to be a hero! One hand on her hip and the other pointed at the monsters she called out. "Times up ugly! Me and my sisters are going to knock you into next week!" She had no real idea how long a week was, but it sounded like a long time to her.

Hoisting up her oversized weapon the crystals lit up and began firing out beams of violet light that twisted and swerved around and past Penny thanks to her Gravity magic. The Wendigos would have the time to look up and make a move, but the beams would shift with them and as they touched down the area became a fireworks show of exploding violet mayhem. Ka'ris would keep up the barrage for a few seconds laughing like a toon.
Whoops added.
Another one.

Hemlock may have control of devices on the network, but Min-Ji had a finger on the pulse. Critical functions relied on stable power. Entire states go down when the delicate balance is disrupted. She of course had to be careful. In a space this deep underground fresh air had to be pumped and circulated down else it would become a tomb after all. First she remained and drew in power to charge herself for her inevitable departure. There was no telling what they would come to face on the surface. Wary of drawing too much she stopped before overloading. She then sent pulses back out to put some of the other power generation out of phase. Not everything, but enough would be down that the facility would be running on emergency power for the next hour or more as the workers scrambled to bring everything back online. Anything they might need she could power herself.

Breaking away she sparked and crackled with energy. It had been years since she'd felt the full rush of lightning coursing through her veins. Arc Dragon was back. The cries of the two guards drew her attention as the door of her cell was ripped away and consumed. This was the first time she'd seen this creature. Was it friend or foe? Chittering and scrambling it fought to get into the cell which really wasn't large enough for such a monster. Lifting a hand she let out a shockwave that ran briefly though Kailani. Tilting her head to one side the makeup of the creature felt familiar. "Kailani? A few steps closer and a lick to the face later confirmed that, at least, the beast did not mean her harm. "We must rejoin the others." She ignored the two guards, even they knew that what they had on them wouldn't save them at this point, nevermind the all consuming alien.

Between Kailani's brute force, tough exterior, and supreme nommage coupled with Min-Ji's raw power output, nothing really stood in their way back to the cafeteria to group back up. The crack of thunder filled the space as the Asian woman clapped her hands and separated them. No light came of it, but an invisible bolt of dark lightning brimming with gamma radiation was directed and struck Abby. Producing such was no small feat, but Min-Ji could leach off other devices in the interim. Finding a "safe" source of radiation otherwise would be too costly for time and worth the sacrifice if it got them moving quicker.
Were I to pop back I would probably just keep Shane and Melisa. All the others are too much to deal with. Kayli would just be an NPC.

Minutes. It took mere minutes for a barely articulated plan to turn to dust. "I will be in my cell." She couldn't help but wonder how someone that seemingly held themselves in such high regard would do such a thing. Why were their restraints disabled all of the sudden? Wasn't the idea to wait for night? There would have been less guards, most of them wouldn't have restraints on to begin with as they'd be in their cells, and she would have direct access to the grid. Shutting everything off now necessitated acting in the immediate before the facility caught on that something was happening.

Criminals were difficult to work with under ideal circumstances. This place was not the outside. Down here was a boiling kettle with no outlet. Having broken away once she'd fulfilled her end to give access, she and her small entourage of guards were headed back to her cell when the sounds of chaos started back in the direction of the cafeteria. Looking back it appeared that some of the guards were having issues with the electronic locks and were resorting to manual mechanisms. Such a detail was swept aside as the uproar works its way into the wing. Inmates that normally would be contained were breaking out of their cells as several countermeasures ceased to exist.

"What's going on?" Of of the guards called back to the entry.

After a bit of a scramble, more guards from the checkpoint began filtering out to contain the wing. Communication was down, but clearly something was up. "Some of the inmates are loose. Their restraints aren't working."

The three escorting Min-Ji take a step back and raise their weapons defensively. The woman watched them briefly before glancing around. "I would be more concerned with the others." She said before turning away to proceed to her cell.

Clang.

Clang!

CLANG!

A bulkhead flew open in the walkway above as a hulking beast burst out and dove down to the main floor of the block, making a b-line for the nearest guards that immediately began firing. Other cells were similarly being warped, melted, cracked or otherwise compromised as more inmates found their abilities unrestricted. Ahead of Min-Ji a wall of glass shattered and a flood of water rushed out as a strange jellyfish like creature crawled out. Others behind were starting to work their way free. "Arc Dragon!" One of them called out and began rushing in the woman's direction. The man had been one of the previous attempted escapees. The guards merely being in the way, one was tossed over the railing while the other two fired off tranq rounds to try and stop the man. These were more designed to deal with Min-Ji though and didn't slow down the raging man. The call seem to have prompted a couple others to move in the electrokinetic's direction.

Glancing one way and back, Min-Ji scoffed a bit. "Banghaehaji ma." The lights began glow brighter as the metal walkway became electrified. The two remaining guards were protected thanks to their gear, but the other inmates that were unfortunate enough to be out of the same floor suddenly seized up and began to shake violently. The jellyfish began to bubble and pop before exploding into a goopy mess. A few seconds later everyone else afflicted collapsed to the floor in a twitching heap. Glancing back at the two still standing she motioned toward her cell. "Watch the door." The door closing behind her, Min-Ji shucked off the restraints and tossed them aside. Walking over to a pair of raised plates she placed a hand on each.

Throughout the facility the lights dimmed and flickered. Hemlock's control of systems fluctuated briefly as Min-Ji's presence filled the grid. Spaces where the guards were moving to try and secure the facility were plunged into darkness, power to the elevators were cut trapping security in the shafts, mag locks were activated locking doors shut and slowing down the response further.
