"Where's the camp?"
Yet another Character Chat
(Can he just go in there and wreck shop? Or are there too many?)
group
The wolf tossed his head behind it, indicating the other side of the hill. "It is cloaked to hide it from sight. The only reason we know it is here is because Cinthia infiltrated it before."
He frowned, thinking hard. "Cin, got another energy blast in you?"
group
(He could probably do quite a bit of damage, since he can turn their magic against them. Have him suggest it)
group
The fox spoke up, albeit quietly. "Cin could soul merge with Wolf."
"Listen, hit me with a blast, then go hover close by. I'mma blow the gates off and cause a huge mess while you use the diversion to grab Tessie, pop a smoke, and get the hell out of Dodge."
group
Fenris couldn't help the slight smile. "He's a brave one." He turned back to the camp. "But I like were Kiriti is going."
"No, listen. Maybe another one of you if you're up to it. The more they throw at me, the more power I gain. They're gonna go balls to the wall at the first sight of me, which leaves the camp generally unattended. Easy work for two or three of you."
group
Cinthia shifted uneasily. "They'd expect us to get her, but not a seemingly unimportant human. That'd tell him we have more tricks up our sleeve than we let on." She pressed a finger against the ear piece she had on. "Demitri, Rae, I want you two back here." Then she turned to Runner. "You say the more they throw the harder you hit?"
He nodded, tilting his head slightly.
group
Her eyes darkened menacingly. "Then mow them down to the roots."
A fire bird screeched from above, landing in a nearby tree. A man appeared from a cloud of darkness next to Cinthia.
"My pleasure." He started running towards the camp, adrenaline and rage fueling him. (He just bout to walk back a few minutes later with Tessie or wat)
group
(Pretty much. The group doesn't want to get involved, lest they raise awareness, plus the demons are pretty dumb)
group
(And I have to go soon, so I'm trying to wrap this bit up)
Suddenly, there's a huge BOOM! as a mushroom cloud began to form over where the camp is. Or most likely was.
group
Demitri whistled, impressed. "Where'd you get him?"
Cinthia snickered. "He's Tess's."
Demitri rolled his eyes. "You don't say."
Two figures could be seen walking in the distance, the taller one helping the other. Pretty soon you could make out the cuts and bruises on Tessie's face and the barely controlled rage on Runner'x.
group
The group visibly relaxes at the sight of their friend. The fox scrambles up and transformed into a fox-featured girl, who rushes for Tess, healing magic on the ready.
Tess weakly pushed Kiriti away, which didn't deter the healer. "I'm fine people. Been through worse, you know that." She winced when she cast a quick glance at Runner "You didn't need too–"
"Yes. I did." He spoke in quick bursts, his face a deadly shade of red. He had a shallow scratch over his left eye that bled a lot more than it should've. The exposed tattoo on his arm writhed and squirmed with the same rage he was feeling.
group
Kiriti quickly patched the two up, then backed away just as quick.
Tessa yelped as Cin smacked her in the back of her head. "Are you insane!?" Cinthia growled. "I told you to get me information, not go out of your way to make things more exciting. You had one job."
Tess bowed her head, taking the scolding without a single complaint. Cinthia continued, but in rapid fire in her native tongue, which no one here understood.
Runner clenched his jaw, pacing a few feet away to try to release some of the emotion.
group
Tess hung her head in shame. "I'm sorry," she said, then looked to a fuming Cinthia. "Epartaki, hombrera. No shia compra eti."
He understood none of it, but hearing Tessie's voice made him stop for a moment.
group
Cinthia sighed through her nose. "I can't expect that of you. Let's just go home."
"Need another portal?" He asked, still speaking tensely but his face back to its normal color.
group
Demitri shook his head from where he leaned against a tree. "I can shadow travel them." He gave Cinthia an amused look. "Rhydar told me what happened. Nice going."
"Nearly killed myself. I didn't realize I had so much until, well…boom." He glanced over at Tessie, really wanting to give her a hug but still in that stage in the relationship where contact was awkward for him.
group
Cinthia glared at Demitri, daring him to say more. "Tends to happen with untrained abilities," she said to Runner while having a staring contest with Demitri.
Tess smiled and pulled Runner into a hug, lightly kissing his cheek. "Well, I appreciate your sacrifice, Prince Charming. See you again, yeah?"
The phoenix audibly gagged and disappeared in a ball of flames and feathers.
"Hopefully with better circumstances, but yeah, for sure." He returned the hug, smiling lightly.
