10/29 --- Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve?????

Who: ??? & you!
What: Something's starting...
Where: Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve (Twilight Shoreline)
When: Sunday, 10/29
Warnings: Will be added as needed.

( Perhaps intrigued by the mail allegedly sent by CC Corp, perhaps visiting the Shoreline by chance, gating into the Area goes as it always does, until the music stays cut for longer than it should, and the black, liminal transition screen lingers for a little too long. The seconds tick on. They near turn to minutes. You can't struggle, you can't argue— you can only simply be, and it occurs to you that maybe you'll be trapped midway here, conscious, for maybe forever.

And then you hear static. Your vision warps; pixels strain into words, blurred and unstable. You see them combat for your attention; you see— )




( And then you load in. )

[The good news: Dehya is no longer under the debuff of slowness and malaise. The bad news: falling still hurts.

It takes her a minute to pull herself to her feet, staggering up in time for another charm from Macha--but this time, she shakes it off. She cannot let them get her again. Unfortunately, there's still everyone else to contend with.]


Hec--[She stops, quickly staggering back as he juts his staff at her. Dehya narrows her eyes.] Sorry, but I am going to have to hurt you.

[She shifts her blade rapid-quick and then swings her blade in the arc of Koppasai (17) to knock him back violently.]
secondthoughts: (staff 1)

[ Ah, good. The knockback hurts, yes, but now there's distance between them.

Hector's still afflicted by the slow and the malaise, unfortunately. But he doesn't let it show.

He brandishes his staff to cast MeRai Don (12) on his new foe.

Hector's health is currently at 75%. ]

[The fire burns. Dehya lets out a cry as she rushes through the pain searing her arms and cheek. Flames catch on her blade as well as she strikes with Vak Maxima (12) to knock Hector backwards again.] Snap out of it!

[ And this fire burns. It sears over Hector's clothes and arms, the pain wracks his body as he goes sailing backwards once again.

He laughs a little bit as he gets to his feet. ]


Snap out of what? [ He brandishes his staff again, silver catching in the eerie light. ] I thought you could hit harder than that, Dehya.

[ And there comes a sweep of leaves over the area where Dehya stands with BiJuk Rom (7). Even if it doesn't hurt, hopefully it'll keep her away. He has to get to Macha, after all.

Hector's health is currently at 55%. ]

You don't want to make me hit harder! [And in truth, she doesn't want to hit harder--because this is Hector. Because she doesn't want to leave anyone else broken and near bleeding like Fandaniel.

The leaves don't even touch her. She rushes forward to close the distance and smack the broad side of her blade into his hip (10).]
secondthoughts: (i am powered purely by gay)

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2023-10-31 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ The smack does throw him off balance; Hector stumbles several paces to the side with a mirthful laugh. His hip throbs from the blow, but he doesn't fall. ]

But you won't get rid of me in a way that matters.

[ He's here to help Macha... Right?

That said, Dehya's a rather persistent one, isn't she? Hector adjusts the grip on his staff and lunges forward, swinging it in an arc to bash his staff onto her side (15). He doesn't think it'll knock her over—he knows a solid mass of a lesbian when he sees one (even in charm)—but hopefully, she'll start getting the message to leave. ]

You're gonna be real embarrassed about this after! [Dehya raises her blade to strike (8) but Hector's staff smash throws her off balance and the arc misses.]
secondthoughts: (✸ 何をしようとしたのかも忘れて)

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2023-10-31 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Here comes another laugh as Hector sidesteps the swing. ]

Speak for yourself. Embarrassment is trivial compared to what Macha has to offer.

[ He lends himself to the momentum of his movement and thrusts his staff forward, aiming the sharp part for her solar plexus again (5), but it skids harmlessly off her armor. ]
legendofthelion: (☀︎ 003)

[personal profile] legendofthelion 2023-10-31 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Which is? [Dehya returns the thrust (4) to no avail.]
secondthoughts: (☀ 声をあげ泣いた)

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2023-10-31 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He grins. ]

Why don't you give in and find out?

[ Again, as he moves out of the way of the sword, he brandishes his staff above his head and spins it, aiming to let it collide hard with the side of her head (16). ]
legendofthelion: (☀︎ 058)

[personal profile] legendofthelion 2023-10-31 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dehya doesn't dodge in time. There's a resounding crack against her skull and Dehya staggers, unable to counterattack (1).]
secondthoughts: (staff 2)

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2023-10-31 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If it weren't for the charm, Hector would be panicking. Hell, things wouldn't have gotten this far to begin with, for obvious reasons.

But as he is now, that crack is satisfying to his ears. He stares blankly at Dehya as he raises his staff, dog tags clinking together as he casts MeRai Don (6), right on top of her. Soon, he hopes, she'll understand what he means. ]
bleatingedge: ... (worried annoyed)

[personal profile] bleatingedge 2023-10-31 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[While Hector is distracted casting his spell, Leo jogs up and bonks him right on the head with his staff. (16)]

Snap out of it, Hector!
legendofthelion: (☀︎ 025)

[personal profile] legendofthelion 2023-10-31 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dehya's head is spinning. But she pulls together all her resolve to save Hector from himself and punches him in the face (14). Incidentally, at the same time Leo smacks him over the head as well.]
secondthoughts: (☀ 極楽浄土)

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2023-10-31 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That'll do it.

Hector's getting ready to hit Dehya with his staff again when two impacts come at once—the hit on the head, and the punch to the face.

With his health reaching 40%, the black halo shatters with the impacts, and his charm is undone. He staggers in his vertigo, free hand clutching his head. ]


Ow... [ Did Dehya really have to punch him in the face? He needs that for Purposes!!! ] What the... What was I—?
bleatingedge: aw you got him sentimental (smile soft)

[personal profile] bleatingedge 2023-10-31 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
You were charmed. Here.

Ul Repth.

[Hector is immediately healed for 200 HP, then additionally healed for 25% of his health. Dehya is also healed by this second wave.]
legendofthelion: (☀︎ 011)

[personal profile] legendofthelion 2023-10-31 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dehya shoots Leo an appreciative glance.] Thanks. Are we all good now? We've still got something to deal with.
secondthoughts: (☀ 僕の短所を)

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2023-10-31 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hector glances been the two of them, then to the carnage with the bosses. As his gaze unfocuses, guilt tugs at him... How could he have let this happen? Did he hurt someone? ]

...Yeah.

[ He looks back to Dehya and Leo and nods, both in appreciation and understanding. ]

C'mon. We've got a job to finish.
