That's it for now!

Who: Everyone
When: Day 112, late morning and on
Where: Headed Northward
What: A bit of normalcy

[Having switched routes from the preset course that was previously taking everyone southwest, the HQ now drifts steadily northward on manual navigation.

If one sticks their heads out onto the balcony and looks back, they can see the shape of a great feathered beast, her blue, green, and red feathers gleaming along a strangely serpentine body as she glides down on wings that dwarf the HQ. A few blasts of wind and a deep rumbling sound buffet the building, vibrating it a bit as she lands in the distance, followed by a haze of red shapes that rise off her and spread out over the area that the HQ once occupied.

There may be a tense moment while one waits to see if any of those red spots in the distance change course to pursue, but after maybe about half an hour of watching it becomes clear that for the time being none of those particular lizagons are interested.

The HQ drifts on, the jungle moving by below like a sea of green. It seems for now the HQ can finally have some peace. What will you do with the rest of the day?]


((ooc: A MINGLE TO BRING US BACK TO NORMAL PLAY. The HQ will be traveling at about 20-25 mph and take at least 4 or 5 IC days to clear the jungle, so in that time everyone is free to go back to regular posting! We'll be doing a more thorough summary and announcement stuff later on to catch everyone up to where we're at. Thanks to everyone who participated!))

I--yes--

[turns his attention sharply from Cayden looking for any other targets nearby]

[no_hero]

[well, here's a potential target going to the community kitchen area...]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[you'll do -- he zeros in and races over, and I do hope your reflex roll is high enough to avoid this because there's only a hint of warning before he stabs straight at Kiritsugu's throat]

[no_hero]

[there's really not much to do but try to throw himself out of the way, hand automatically reaching for his gun, working to keep himself balanced and on his feet because these actions say that if he falls, he's dead]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[that's actually a pretty fair assessment of the situation. his lance is nearly a blur as he spins it towards the gun hand trying to knock it away]

[no_hero]

[drawing back and was holding his gun firmly. suuuure hasn't recovered enough since his illness was cured to keep that lance from landing a hit. grimacing some as his grip weakens.]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[immediately changes the direction of the lance's spin and brings it back down to break the bones in his wrist. There is some internal struggles going on here, but he seems to be losing the fight]

[no_hero]

[...... oh. well. that. definitely hurts. guess you're getting a shout of pain while his now completely loose grip drops that gun]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[there's a brief moment of hesitation before he kicks Kiritsugu in the stomach]

[no_hero]

[GDIT. doubling over as the air leaves his lungs but quickly trying to turn that motion into a GET THE FUCK OUT OF RANGE motion]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[going with the trying to stab the lance through Kiritsugu's heart motion]

[andiwantitnow]

[ OOPS AND THEN LANCER WAS HIT BY A PONY ]

[no_hero]

[... okay. getting mooore out of the way, recovering his gun and wrapping the arm with the broken wrist around his abdomen, coughing a bit.

this feels familiar, like deja vu]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[WTF PONY NO REALLY WTF -- rolling to his feet to identify this target]

[andiwantitnow]

Ho there! Lancer! She's found something else unsavory for you already, has she?


Why don't you tell me the terms, and the King of Conquerors will put himself between you and your goal.

[freelancetogoodhome]

[eyes moving around the room again]

... To kill as many civilians I can. My own death is forbidden.

[andiwantitnow]

Haaaah, that's even more tedious than the last one. Maybe it will be best to just pummel you.

[freelancetogoodhome]

...

[welp probably going to be heading back to attack Kiritsugu since you're still talking]

[andiwantitnow]

[ NOPE HERE COMES PONY AGAIN 8D ]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[knowing that you've got a gd pony allows him to dodge the fuck out of the way, but it unfortunately puts him further from his target >T damn it rider]

[andiwantitnow]

[ Pony is pressing the advantage!! and Rider is going to sword him good if he gets the chance ]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[dodge dodge dodge... STABBING YOUR PONY NOW]

[andiwantitnow]

Hah!. That's enough then, partner. [ pony sparkles out from under him and he lands with a heavy thud ]

[freelancetogoodhome]

[LETS TRYING TO RUN DOWN KIRITSUGU AGAIN THEN]

[no_hero]

[OH C'MON.

POTSHOT O'CLOCK AT THE LANCER SERVANT WHILE TRYING TO GET QUICKLY AWAY]
