Fourth Scoop: Multi Character Catch-All! [backdated to the start of the event]

[ ooc: I just have too many to justify making multiple posts, and thus making things harder for others to track, so here's one comprehensive post for most of them! ]

Neopolitan

[ With monsters making a mess of things at night, that means that it’ll be much easier to steal things, right? So Neo disguises herself as a regular Joe: wearing a trucker hat, t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a bit of scruff on her face. Her eyes are light brown now. Currently, she’s in an electronics store, which other people are also looting. She’s swiping a small ice cream maker, easy enough to carry! Now she can have all the ice cream ever! ]

Grell

…no….no no no no!

[Grell has a small drone holding her phone while filming whatever she’s doing, which is mostly panicking. There’s a bits of gummie candy stuck to her hair as she takes a piece of her bed and…plucks a small piece off. It’s sticky between her fingers and she gives it a sniff. Taking a tentative bite, she confirms that it is indeed—]

Marshmallow…

[The drone pans out to show that her entire house is made of candy. The walls are made of taffy, and even her computer is made of candy bars. She holds up her keyboard before she tosses it to the ground in a fit of rage and stomping on it out of sheer…spite.

With quick footsteps, Grell scowls her entire way out the house, and indeed, whatever has happened in her bedroom did not stay confined to it. She doesn’t know what’s worse: the fact that everything is candy, or that nothing matches! Once outside, the drone that follows her now has much more freedom to move about, but…

She lets out a shriek so full of rage that one may not even need a device to hear it, because of what her house turned into!]

Aya

[Aya is currently in the middle of the battle for his life. His foe is unlike anything he’s fought as he parries blows and dodges close calls. Already he has a few cuts all over his body which are taking a toll on his body, but luckily, his opponent isn’t fairing all that well, either. The sound of metal sliding against another can definitely be heard in the streets of Attleton. They stop for a moment as the opponents size up the other, accessing the damage. Aya knows that he can’t overcome this enemy easily.]

[Especially since he’s literally fighting himself.]

[There are also bodies all over the empty street behind his other self. Most are not that badly mutilated, if only because Aya came in to stop the other from desecrating his victims even further. The horrid smile of ill intent meets the eyes of his foe, and it makes his stomach turn. Why did Attleton have it so bad?]

Nora

[Nora is, of course, ignoring the curfew and is out helping people get to safety. It takes up most of her time, but she does make sure to come back at a decent time to check in on Mayu. She promised to protect him, and she plans to keep that promise. She also wants to try and help keep the city safe, too. So if anyone spots her leaping off buildings and laying the smack down on monsters, don’t be afraid! Fortunately, she didn’t turn into a monster, so, relief!

But she will be getting tired soon. Fighting for five hours straight does that to a person.]

[Seriously? Spider-Woman knew that crime never took vacations but you'd think the petty crimes would get put on hold until AFTER the monster attacks. Still, this looked like something she could handle quickly so it was worth the effort.

A hand full of the other looters have already been webbed to different shelving units and walls by the time she comes face to face with Neo's disguise.]

I'm going to have to ask you to put that down.

Partly because it's against the law and partly because I'm 100% sure I'm coming back to buy that when the store opens.

[ The man stops while holding the maker, looks down at it, then looks to the...what is she? He doesn't get it. Either way, he's bolting for the exit!

Let's play Catch the Thief!]

Hey! Get back here with that!

[The pesky thief will here a "Thwip" like sound as the masked vigilante fires a webline at their back. She'll attempt to drag the disguised Neo back her way if she can]

[Oh dear, it was hard to ignore that shriek. Thankfully, Mey-Rin was already dressed. She looked out one window where Grell was outside. She opened the window to greet her somewhat new master?]

Lady Grell! Is everything all right out there?

[While she waited for a response, Mey-Rin couldn't help but take a piece of ginger bread from the window frame.]

My, it's really tasty!

[Kirika was on her way to school until she felt as if she was being followed. It was then she felt a chill in the breeze. Kirika turned to one direction and there was a person, a splitting image of herself, with eyes narrowed and darker. The replica turned away from Kirika and walked down a different street. Kirika didn't waste time and chased after herself. Every corner Kirika turned to, the replica turned to another corner. Eventually Kirika was lead to a sound of clashing katanas. Her stomach dropped as she followed the sound.

Then she saw them, her bag dropped to the ground to announce her presence. Two Aya's? She scanned the area. Aya was hurt, both were, but one of them seemed... different. The bodies on the ground, who were they? Who did it? As she stared trying to decipher the situation, behind Kirika as well was also a version ofherself in dark robes. The dark one watched silently as well. Kirika meanwhile couldn't sense herself behind at the moment, she stared into Aya's eyes, the real Aya.

Meanwhile, the darker version of herself raised one hand in which held a pistol, slowly, towards Kirika's direction.]

[ The webbing sticks...but to a shelf. The image of the man shatters as if it were made of a mirror, revealing that he wasn't in that spot in the first place.

Another image of him is running past the isles, though, arms full of that ice cream maker. Looks like the game is still going. ]

STOP EATING MY WINDOWS YOU IDIOT!!

[Mey-Rin....why are you making her life difficult...]

[The darker incarnation of himself peered over to Kirika, and Aya managed to follow his line of sight. He automatically knew what the other is thinking and lunged at him, only for his opponent to duck and tumble while managing to cut the back of his thighs. A short pained noise comes out of his mouth, but it isn't enough to get him down yet.

Seeing the other Kirika pointing a pistol at the original makes him lose his concentration.]

Behind you!

[In the time he calls out to warn her, his opponent runs him through his side, causing Aya to let out another pained shout.]

[Okay... That's a new one.

It doesn't deter her though. She looks past the image that's on the move now and quickly fires two more web line, this time at a pair of large boxes ahead and into the aisle. If she catch the thief in one go then maybe she can at least slow him down?]

Hey now! That's no fair!

[Before Kirika could respond to Aya's plea, she turned around and swung one hand which now held her pistol to bat the other pistol away before it was fired. The shot was fired to one side and away from the scene.

When Kirika looked up, her incarnation vanished. She quickly looked around on guard, and then looked to where Aya and his double was. He was pain, Kirika panicked that moment.]

Aya!

[She instinctively drew her pistol towards Aya's dark double and aimed her shot towards it's weapon, the katana. Hopefully, her aim was true enough to knock it out of it's hand, for now.

Meanwhile, Kirika's double reappeared behind Aya's double, stared aimlessly at her frighten self.]

[The double's grip on his katana is lost as the bullet skims his wrist. With such a close proximity, Aya uses it to his advantage and stabs the other with his blade. Even when turning, his foe's blade is still stuck in his side. He barely registers that the other Kirika is behind him, shocked by her presence.

When did she even get there...

Aya knows he has to get the blade out of his side before it's used against him, and even with the other Aya out of play, for the moment, the other Kirika is still a real threat.]

[Kirika's dark incarnation directed her attention to Aya when he realized her presence was known. The girl returned a blank stare back to Aya. From one side, she rose a pistol in hand towards Aya this time, ready to pull the trigger any moment.]

You hate lies, so why?

[The darker self spoke, but was it to Aya? No... From a distance, the real Kirika didn't move, instead she held her pistol ready as well aimed at her counter part as if this was a stalemate. Kirika fling from her own voice, confused by her own words. Her other self continued.]

Why do you continue to lie to yourself?

[Whether or not she was talking to him doesn't matter to Aya. The pistol pointing at him is his main concern. He wouldn't be able to dodge at this distance, nor with his injury. Ultimately, his other self had his own plans.

Pulling a gun from his ankle, the other Aya aimed at him and fired off a shot, grazing his ear. This causes Aya to stumble and fall to one knee, which then agitates his wound. Now they both had to deal with two shooters. At least one of them has bad aim.]

Aya!

[Kirika didn't hesitate and fired twice towards Aya's counter part and dodged behind a telephone pole. She wasn't quite sure how good Aya was with guns, even if it didn't aim on the first shot. At least she could cover Aya for him.]

He will turn against you, eventually. You can't trust people.

[Kirika's counter continued to lecture. She raised her pistol towards the real Aya again.]

Or he'll die first.

NO!

[Kirika cried out, shot from her spot. Her other self shot towards Kirika instead which the bullet grazed her shoulder. Kirika gave a yelp before she retreated behind the pole. Whatever was happening, Kirika used that moment to catch her breath. At the moment, the poison words from her other self were eating away inside of her.]

[With the distraction, Aya uses his crouched position to use his own gun hidden on his ankle and shot at the foot of Kirika's doppelganger. He hopes with the surprise attack he'll create is enough time to get the sword out. Meanwhile, his other self leaps over the doppleganger of Kirika to take aim at Aya.]

[But he promptly impales himself on the sword Aya holds up. It misses most vital organs, but it definitely puts them at an advantage for the moment.

[Which is gone because he still has enough energy to aim at Aya.]

[ Thankfully, the monsters don't enter buildings. He just doesn't want to go out alone when he has to open and close Sand Gym.

Mayu did turn into a monster, and he showed Nora his bear form. He's not much bigger as a Japanese black bear, but he is stronger, tougher and has faster reflexes. He can actually hold his own against the conjured Genessia monsters.

He swiped at the various creatures with his claws. There was a picnic basket full of treats for Nora hanging from his mouth.]

*The first thing Selphie noticed that morning were the missiles. One, then another, headed straight for Aya's flower shop. As well as being terrified for the damage they might cause, Selphie was shaken by the belief that this was somehow her fault. She had done this. She hadn't been able to prevent them.

She dashed as quickly as she could to the flower shop - it was still standing, it hadn't been destroyed. But he wasn't there. Neither was Kirika. There was something about their absence that told her that they weren't just out delivering flowers. That was when she heard the unmistakeable sounds of a fight. The clash of swords, then gunshots. Selphie cursed herself for not having her weapon with her, though she did at least have her magic.

On her way toward the fight, Selphie stopped dead still. She couldn't scream - if she did, she thought she might be sick. Aya... Slashed and bloodied on the ground. The horror of the sight dropped her to her knees, tears blurring her eyesight. So she did not see the other bodies, did not see that Aya was alive, just further in the distance, fighting and alive. She dragged the head of the body onto her lap, finally able to scream. Selphie wiped feverishly at her eyes and then she noticed - all the bodies, all this copies of him...

She scrambled to her feet and staggered in the direction of the two men fighting. "Ran!" Her shout was hoarse, but she needed his attention and needed to figure out which of the two was the real Aya*

[The shots fired from Aya indeed distracted the young replica enough to give Aya some advantage while at the same time also gave Aya's replica as well.

Meanwhile, Kirika recovered enough behind the pile. She noticed some glass shards under her feet, like somebody dropped something there and shattered. Kirika picked a couple of them up.

It was then she heard Selphie's cry. She didn't recognize the name but she did noticed who the woman meant. Aya's replica was about to impale Aya as well. A large shard of glass shot through the air like a knife towards the replica's neck. Kirika didn't hesitate a second thought.

After Kirika threw a shard, a shot was fired and Kirika could be seen thrown back. The shot hit close to her shoulder no one other than herself. Kirika's replica saw it as an open and taken it. The little replica then aimed her pistol towards Selphie.]

This is who you really are, Noir...

[Slowly, the replica pulls the trigger.]

[The shard makes it to Aya's opponent, making him slump over to the side and gurgle on blood. Hearing Selphie call out to him catches his attention and makes him turn his head around. He sees the anguish on her face, and the predicament she's in.]

Selphie!

[Hearing the other Kirika's words, Aya snapped his head back to her and tackled her to the ground, taking whatever was aimed at Selphie for himself. Two gunshots go off, and neither of them move. It isn't clear who's hit just yet, but the battle is over.]

Edited 2017-10-16 14:31 (UTC)

[ Playing fair isn't in her repertoire.

The boxes are a good idea, but they still don't work. They only crush the image into shards like last time. From the side, the thief appears, brandishing a knife and begin to lunge at the woman with the weapon of choice. ]

*There. That was him. That was her Aya, the one who had turned to her. Now this meant that she knew who to aim at. She was ready to cast a spell, an attack. Or maybe a time freeze. But she didn't get the chance to figure that out because a gun was pointed at her and Selphie would have to move sharply to be out of the line of fire.

But then there was Aya, in the way of the shot, and as he tackled the Kirika, Selphie gave another shriek of terrified fear. She rushed over quickly as he fell, flinching at the new gunshots*

Ran. Ran??

*Selphie collpased beside them and took Aya's shoulder, trying to get him to move away or, if he couldn't, trying to move him away herself so that she could assess the damage herself. But as she tried to turn him over she was frantic, saying his name over and over and over again*

[Kirika was on the ground, clinging to her shot shoulder enduring the pain. The closest scream this girl could do was a yelp.

When Kirika heard Aya's shout followed with gunshots, the girl jerked her body upright. Even Selphie's scream confirmed what Kirika feared. There was a pool of blood under her double, with one gunshot to the gut, which bled her to death. Then, there was Aya. Horrified, Kirika quickly picked herself up and rushed over to them.

Kirika helped Selphie to turn Aya around and away from the body to assess the damage.]

Aya...

[She plead softly as well by the name he told her.]

Make a sound Aya, please. Stay with us.

[Being turned over agitated his wounds, and after a few moments he groaned in pain. Hearing their voices helped to make sense of where he is and what happened. His eyes open a bit, seeing both Selphie and Kirika. His body tensed at seeing the young girl, gaining more recognition he notices her expression and relaxes.]

Are we--argh! [His attempt to move is a bad idea. He wants to know if they're still under attack, because staying still, out in the open, is also a bad idea.]

*Selphie is sorry. Kirika. She was dimly aware that the girl was injured and in pain, but all of her being was focused on Aya and making sure that he was still alive. She moaned in relief when she realised that he was alive and his eyes were able to open.

When he looked at Kirika, Selphie glanced at them both, not understanding what had been happening. Selphie touched his face and sshed him gently in concern*

Ssh... It's okay. I just - let me heal you. I can't - not the gunshot if... if there's a bullet. But I can numb the pain. You'll be okay, darling, you'll be okay.

*Though her speech is hushed, it is clearly urgent and shaky as she tried to keep herself together*

[Kirika didn't mind being ignored in general, Selphie had her priorities and it was Aya. She saw Aya tensed for a moment when he regained himself which hit her hard inside, but she kept herself calm. Kirika held her shoulder looking down at him shaking her head.]

No, it's fine, for now.

[She looked around, confused at the scene, wasn't sure what happened. She even saw herself laying dead.]

I can take out the bullet, but not here.

[Inside, please. Kirika doesn't want anymore surprises.]
