[Kamui Mini Event] Broken Minds and Bleeding Hearts

Who: Those who signed up and anyone else who wants to help
What: Kamui event. Action. Chaos. Bloodshed.
When: March 10th
Where: Genessia City
Warnings: Graphic violence, people-eating, Koishi frowning, possible feels.


It was not unusual for Koishi to go missing for days at a time. It was unusual, however for Koishi to go anywhere without her hat. And that beloved article had been left at Satsuki's house for the past week with no sign of its owner. Unfortunately, due to the little youkai's unconscious nature it would not be possible to simply seek her out.

The only thing that could be done is wait.

[Video]

With a rather jarring shake the anonymous feed began. The device had been dropped the angle showing part of a blue-tinted arm and several wisps of green hair. Blood beaded at the points where needles had been forced into the exposed flesh, each connected to a shimmering red thread. The walls and ceiling were nondescript and there was no way to tell exactly where it was taking place. The figure was obviously still breathing, a small whimper audible just over a pair of running boots.

A gruff and muttered 'dammit' could be heard as the boots stopped, a pair of black gloved hands fumbling for the device. The camera briefly showed a gas-mask covered face before the feed cut.

****

[Action]

About an hour after the feed a figure was spotted screaming through the streets of Nova city at amazing speeds, crashing into cars and the corners of buildings. Despite the damage, all injuries resulted from this were minor at worst. It seemed to rush around blindly as if confused, turning, and charging through the gate to Genessia city less than five minutes after its first appearance.

It moved faster than people could pull out their phones, though security cameras would likely capture the image fairly clearly. It was Koishi. The hair was blood-streaked but unmistakable. She was clad in what could only be a black straitjacket and blindfold made of some sort of thick and heavy material. The center of the chest was a heavy lock with several chains to reinforce the pinning of her arms. The shoulders were fairly large and adorned with white smudges of what had once probably been eyes. And from under them extended two long pieces of silk, each wrapping several times around her torso and ending in metal hooks that rested at her waist like ribs.

She seemed to vanish upon arrival in Genessia City, darting off in one direction. And that's when the trouble began. Scattered destruction started all over the city, triggered seemingly at random. None caused that much destruction, but the ensuing fires and broken glass would ensure that firemen, law enforcement, and volunteers would be very busy.

Koishi herself was moving fast, the silk unwinding into a pair of arm-like tentacles; the metal ribs becoming claws. She grabbed people off the street, tearing into them, sometimes toying with them. People were released or let go at seemingly random as the little youkai fell into the rhythm of a seasoned predator. She moved fast. Sometimes running, sometimes flying, sometimes blinking. And sometimes she would simply vanish entirely.

***

As Koishi began her hunt, Ragyo stood atop a nearby skyscraper. She was positioned so that the sun was at her back, masking her natural aura. She simply watched for a moment, a hand on her hip before muttering to herself "La vie est drole" and turning to walk away to see to the preparation of other plans.



((OOC: Each character or group that signed up will get a toplevel here and each attack will happen within the span of time between Koishi's escape and when Satsuki finds her. If you signed up you should have a toplevel below. Each is designated with the sigil icon and they are in alphabetical order. If you didn't sign up feel free to tag the toplevel for reactions or relief effort if you so choose. Keep in mind that no one in this event is allowed to react to or see Ragyo. This is a smaller part of a larger plot.))

[When chaos spotted the blur leaving Nova City, he was intrigued. He hadn't seen the feed, but that didn't matter - what he felt from the blur (PAINhungerinstinctPAINalienthoughtsPAINohgodsgetitoffPAIN) told him all he really needed to know. Someone needed help, and quickly, or they were going to hurt a lot of innocent people.]

[He'd already discovered that teleporting between cities wasn't really feasible. But that didn't stop him from popping to the gate, stepping through, and then following the blur (which, now that he had a better view, had a dishearteningly familiar shock of pale green hair). He makes a decision, and steps out in front of her, arms spread to block her way - nevermind that he wasn't standing in that particular alleyway a moment ago.]


You have to fight it! I know it's hard, but you can't let it control you. [All the while, projecting every iota of 'Calm, not a threat, please trust the nice man' he can pull together, which considering how long he's had to practice is quite considerable.]

[Wherever there's trouble (especially of the violent sort), you can bet that the Deputy Guardian is on the scene. At first Karla is just trying to make sense of the situation. She managed to catch a few glimpses of the figure blazing through the city at speeds that she can't hope to keep up with. Throughout the chaos, she's either calling for medical teams to help the injured, or helping to move the injured to the medical facilities herself. She's tempted to call David, but she's sure that he already knows what's going on. So she'll continue to help out on the streets where she can...]

[Garrus almost always has the news on and a police radio hooked up; it was his self-proclaimed duty as Archangel to keep threats to society at bay. So when he hears about the destruction in the city, he wastes no time grabbing his guns and booking it outside.

It takes him longer than he would have liked to find the source. He has no idea what the hell he's looking at, but he's determined to stop it from wreaking havok. He spots her way down the road, lines up a shot on his sniper, pulls the trigger, and - misses? How the hell did he miss? He never misses. Wait, where did she...

There. He grunts, frowning. The reports said she was fast, but he didn't expect her to be that fast. He sees her near a terrified civilian. Without hesitating, he tries again, lining up the killshot and pulling the trigger.]

((ooc: In case it becomes relevant, he's out there as Garrus, not Archangel (no helmet) so he can get cool scars))

This is a great "welcome back", isn't it?

[Luke had spent plenty of time going to the Bay to retrieve people, but it had been a long, long time since he'd awoken in one of the pods himself. He was disoriented when he left, rubbing his eyes as he stepped out into the day. His memories felt fuzzy and a bit like they weren't his, but he knew the streets just the same and as he looked around Genessia City he knew something wasn't right.

He has no idea how long it's been. What it is that he's missed. Luke thinks that maybe he'll start with the tea shop, or maybe with finding a paper, but he doesn't even get that far--there's a bystander looking up at a creature clad in dark clothing, eyes wide and terrified. Luke follows their gaze and rubs his eyes, disbelieving. The shape was unmistakable, even though he didn't want to believe the blood-dripping figure was his best friend.]


K--Koishi?

It's not surprising that Luke's reaction is to panic. He starts to back away when she rushes towards him, stumbling backwards. His stronger arm is stuck to his side, the one injured after his time in the dungeon with Adachi and a bite from Haise left free and primarily useless at his side.

The grip tilting his head shake his hat free, claws slicing the delicate skin at the top of his neck open, blood trailing down to his collar. The other claw at the side of his eye leaves him focused on her, and Luke stutters in panic as she stares.

"Ahhha--K-Koishi, i-it's Luke--"

The second sash winds tightly around his torso as she releases his face, and he begins to fight against the bindings. He has no idea what Koishi is going to do, but his vivid imagination is thinking it involves eating people and he doesn't want to find out the hard way.

chaos has seen attacks like this before - several Gnosis have similar patterns, with similar armaments. Of course, dodging it does mean he briefly loses sight of her - and in that moment, she manages to get completely out of sight.

So. How DOES a telepath track a rampaging homicidal carnivorous youkai?

Well, the obvious way is to follow the screams, but if he does that he's going to constantly be one step behind her. No; he's going to have to follow her mind, something that he's not terribly thrilled with doing. For one, it will open him up to her entire onslaught of feelings, and a lot of those resonate with who and what he is, which is going to cause his power to act up. For another, it's going to be like he's experiencing everything she does - and considering the things she's being driven to do, that will be extremely unpleasant.

Fortunately, however... he doesn't have to follow on foot. Even as she comes in sight of what would be her next victim, he appears around the corner, blocking her path. "I don't want to hurt you. Please, stop this."

Re: Blake

Blake was just stepping outside of the Tea Time Cafe. As much as she enjoyed Luke's shop, she had decided to try something else today. It turned out that the pastries were actually pretty good and she had decided to wrap a few to bring home with her for Yang and the other members of the house. She was considering sending her girlfriend a message to see if there was anything she needed to get at Pan's when she heard shattering glass in the distance.

Her instincts from her training days kicked in and she immediately turned on her heel, unleashing gambool shroud, lips drawn in a stern line, cool focus coming into her gold eyes. At first she didn't understand what she was seeing. Didn't recognize the creature she saw soaring towards her as anyone she knew, much less...

"Koishi?" disbelief colored the young faunus's voice.

Blake dry heaved when she discerned what the youkai was holding, horror flooding her being.She wondered if this was some cruel joke engineered by whoever had dreamed up Genessia or if it was just business as usual in Blake Belladonna's life. This cycle of seemingly mundane, normal and at times even happy existence peppered with sudden and unexpected violence. Even after Battler, this was hard to take in.

Koishi seemed to recognize her name, but it only made her turn her agression towards Blake. The faunus's instincts kicked in as she projected a shadow copy of herself just in time. She followed up with a wide, arcing blow from Gambook shroud that sent out a shock wave of aura.

Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. This erratic fighting style, this animalistic behavior, what was going on with the youkai!

"Koishi!" she yelled, finally able to speak through her shock as she dodged and the car exploded behind her. "What happened to you?! What is that? Why are you bleeding?"

She didn't know if any of that was even reaching the girl, but it was better than trying nothing. If she could get a message to the girl's sister...but something told her not to risk taking her eyes off of Koishi.
