PLOT: Refined Shell battle!

Who: Open!
What: Crustacean commotion. CRAB BATTLE.
When: 26th September, daytime
Where: Las Vegas, flooded area and surroundings
Warnings: Violence. If your thread requires more warnings, please note them in your comment header!


[ At eleven AM, a pulsing shockwave resonates throughout Las Vegas. Seemingly coming from somewhere deep underground, the ripple of force doesn't last long - but that doesn't mean that it isn't strong enough to make any nearby reincarnates stumble or fall.

The quake that happens soon afterwards is much stronger. Unlike the last, it seems to rumble on and on... until it reaches its crescendo with the emergence of a monstrous pink crabster from beneath the recently-flooded area of the city. A miniature tsunami accompanies the 300-foot behemoth, further damaging the surroundings not already levelled by the flooding and the quakes.

It doesn't take long for Refined Shell to get its bearings and begin its rampage. Everything within range can expect to be swiped at, stamped on or crushed between its pincers in its mindless rage.

You might say it seems to be feeling a touch... crabby. ]

[That dragon was really cool and Dani was watching with wonder, hoping that it would take out the crab or hurt it and look amazing.

That hope went from that to pure shock as it was reflected. Dani took a quick glance between him and the crab before flying down and planting her feet against it. She used it as a spring board and shot back to Toushirou as fast as she could.

Are you okay?! Why did it do that?

[He can't help but breathe a sigh of relief at having evaded his own attack. Just . . . damn. He's not sure whether he would have survived that, and even if he would have, he'd have at least taken himself out of the fight.

[He pushes himself to his feet, blinking at the impact site before giving his attention to Dani.]
Yeah. Yeah, I'm alright.

[He hadn't been expecting that at all, not even after Dani's clones had bounced off . . . Wait.] ... Your clones, they'd qualify as magic, right?
prismaticdestruction: (I think I get it!)

[She lands and glances at the impact site for a moment. Yeah...That would not have been fun to be hit by. Dani shivers a bit before turning back to Toushirou, looking very relieved.]

Good...I don't think that would have ended well...At all!

[But at that thought...Huh..]

I think so..Do you think that might be part of it? But..that's not fair!
icy_heavens: (Pout)

[personal profile] icy_heavens 2014-10-01 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
But you didn't bounce off when you hit it. [He scowls up at the crab, mentally curses at it. Goddamn stupid thing, this is not what they need. You are making this crap too complicated.]

This thing reflects magic attacks. That's the only thing that makes sense.

[And it sucks. Magic is all he has to fight something like this.]

I stand by it not being fair...Maybe there's a way to get it to stop reflecting magic?

[There had to be...And Dani was wanting to find a way and help get it to that point.]

It's like they are starting to get smart about things or something...As if someone is controlling this all.

[Well it's certainly not fair, but that's kind of a silly thing to harp on. Nevermind he's been mentally doing the same thing himself.]

Physical attacks still seem to work fine . . . Maybe it's just the shell that's magic-resistant?

[As to the rest of that, she's brought up an interesting point, but . . .] We can worry about who might be controlling all this later.

[A nod to the last bit. Fight now, worry later.]

Hmm...Maybe.

[A frown and then a grin on her face.]

Maybe we should get the shell to a point where everyone can hit it?
icy_heavens: (How many times do I have to explain this)

[personal profile] icy_heavens 2014-10-04 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Gonna be the only way we can finish it off. [He huffs irritably.] And maybe you can do some damage as things are, but I can't. I'm more dangerous to everybody else than I am to the damn crab right now.
prismaticdestruction: (What's that?)

[personal profile] prismaticdestruction 2014-10-06 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Just phase one of this fight! We can get it done.

[There is a wild grin and she's talking in gaming terms again...but Dani is ready to go.]

I can stick close so when it gets close enough to coming apart, I can shout if you want?
