OPEN LOG; EVERGLADE, GENESSIA - do not reply until you read the ooc post

[genpcs]

The first sign that something was going on that day hadn't been at the crack. It hadn't even been in Genessia, as a matter of fact. The first sign had been a sound not unlike a window shuddering in a heavy storm. It perforated the atmosphere within Everglade first.

Only a few moments later, Fayren would hear the same shudder echo through its forests, forcing birds to flee the cover of the trees. In the populated areas of the kingdom itself, it would be much quieter, as if it were miles away.

Then it would return to Genessia. The crack in the sky was rapidly saturated, thousands more than before forcing their whole shapeless bodies against the barrier. Some of the strange aurora-tinted color seems to press into their ranks, a few of the strange creatures being forced back, but quickly being replaced by another of its kind.

And a sickening crack could be heard in all archways near and far, but it was loudest in Everglade, where a new crack had formed. Two humongous cracks appeared in Everglade's barrier like a sinister grin as if it were laughing at the town just above the clocktower. The two cracks took only a couple of seconds more before the strange monstrous creatures burst small holes into that crack, not big enough to fit their bodies through at once.

The leaked through, dripping like poison from an apple out of that sneering mouth in the sky until the first of these creatures fell to the ground. The eager, hungry soul from before, whose abyss of a stomach had been shared with the whole of Genessia when he'd opened his misshapen jaw the first time a few days ago now looked from side to side in the streets of Everglade.

The first face he saw was that of an NPC, and he only saw it for a moment before launching himself at the man and pinning him to the ground. Some would recognize him as the grizzled owner of The Rabbit's Foot. A loud scream was put out from the man as the creature opened its jaw wide, but did not eat him. Nothing seemed to happen when his jaw was opened, as a matter of fact.

The creature closed its mouth slowly before standing upright on what seemed to be a two-legged form, though if it had arms they didn't take shape. It made a gesture as if it were cracking its neck as the man escaped quickly, locking the door to his shop behind him.

More of the creatures were piling into Everglade slowly but surely, but this one in particular caught sight of a local werewolf, someone with a pendant, a soul, and repeated his mauling, but this time- this time something happened. This time a strange, glowing mist seemed to pull out of the Everglade resident's body, a faint glimmer of aurora with it, and in a short time this person stopped screaming. They were still alive, but it didn't seem like there was anything... inside, really.

A hissing, victorious laughter left the creature and he moved on, heading toward Genessia's gate along with his oversized mouth pulled up into an eerie grin that reflected the crack in the sky. Those that had made it in through Everglade's crack followed suit.

They had to let the rest of their friends in through Genessia; it was only the polite thing to do.

"That's if they even have a main force. It seems like they are just trying to overwhelm with numbers." And the fact that most people didn't seem like they could actually kill them meant that their numbers weren't shrinking as fast as it would if the battlefield was level.

"I'm killing them anyway. I guess it doesn't matter if I'm doing it near you or not." That's more than likely the closest he will get to actually saying the words that he would fight with her.

"Hopefully it remains that simple, but I have my doubts." Satsuki withdraws her sword as she stands by Grimmjow's side, not too close of course, it'd probably a wise strategy to stay out of his way.

But there is one small problem; when she draws the attention of one particular spirit and it comes toward her, her vertical slash has no effect other than annoying it.

She can't say she's really surprised.

With an annoyed 'tch', she takes a hop back to keep her distance. "So what is the trick to this? Holy water?"

[grindpantera]

"You need to have the right weapon for the job." Or the skills necessary to kill these kind of creatures.

"I've told you before that my sword is Pantera. It's a Zanpakuto. " Translates into Soul-Cutter Sword. "Shinigami have them too, and they use them to kill Hollows and us Hollows use them to kill other Hollows and Shinigami. If you can channel your spirit energy, you could probably kill them too." He walks up to the spirit and drives his hand down through its head.

"Being like them helps too."

Ugh sorry for being so slow. orz

[weavemyownfate]

".. That makes sense." Satsuki replies with an annoyed frown. And while it is true he spoke of his weapon before she for whatever reason didn't take into account that it would be different from her own. Then again, her tanks are hardly spirits.

How casually he engages in such graphic violence is a little off-putting to the Guardian, though. She's all for efficiency but that's just nasty. That said, it looks like she's going to find out if the energy she weilds is 'spirit energy' or not.

She raises her sword blade up with her free palm against the flat of her blade, then closes her eyes to channel her fighting spirit. With a mighty roar, she is briefly surrounded by swirling, bright light that quickly bursts outward, spiderwebbing the ground beneath her feet- While it manages to send various spirits flying backward, again it doesn't seem to harm them.

"..." Embarrassing. "Then I shall return once I am better equipped."

[grindpantera]

Grimmjow's brutality is how he has survived for so long. It doesn't matter what or who he is fighting, dispatching them like this is just something that comes natural to him.

And he didn't know she was even capable of doing anything like that. He just watches as she builds up the energy and lets out that burst.

"I guess it's kind of futile for anyone that can't kill them to be out here. Unless you are just looking to beat them back since you can't kill them." He said as he looked at the spirits lying there.

"I'll still be out here when you return."

[weavemyownfate]

Grimmjow isn't wrong, though Satsuki isn't aware what it is she's doing incorrectly. She'll find out in due time. Also she hadn't revealed most of her abilities on purpose; she figures a bit of mystery will keep him interested in her without outright challenging her to fights. The last thing she needs is that happening!

And so with another annoyed grunt, she makes a temporary retreat. Regardless she'll keep her word and return. She just might return in time to save him from Kairi!
