Training Log 01: Shiny new powers

It's been a day- or something similar to it. After all, time seemed to be a weak thing here. But it's long enough that the pounding in his head from the attack under the Founation is... manageable. His ribs still ache, but he's not going to let that stop him- if Rei needed them to fight, then he would fight. Especially since he now remembered HOW to fight- a weak memory that came with a few other things. Like that fact that he might be royalty(?), but more useful was his skills with a weapon.

So he goes hunting for a big open area- and every other Executor he sees he mentions his intention: to train and test out these new powers. Eventually he finds what he's looking for: what probably was supposed to be a park, though it was slightly twisted like everything else here. But it was open enough that he probably wouldn't hit any non-combatants. A quick switch to his Executor uniform, massive black armor with a fur lined cloak, and he spins his bone spear like an expert.

How strange to have this knowledge but almost no context. Well, it is what it is. He wonders if any of the others will join him?

[The fake out winds up being a lost cause--neither Pariah manages to catch onto it. But it doesn't matter because Kingslayer's attack lands; not a complete hit, only grazing Orange's thigh as she tries to roll out of the way. The cut spirals larger and larger though, as Orange dissolves away into a flutter of disappearing ribbon while White turns into the real Pariah (scissors restored) in a little puff of light.]

[Before Kingslayer can fully recover from their strike, Pariah yells and lunges in, thrusting with her scissors to knock their helmet off or askew or--okay yeah she's just mad as hell okay?]

AHAHAHAHA! I knew you were weak-

[While Kingslayer is busy chuckling to themself, Pariah's scissors collide directly with their helmet, knocking it off and sending it tumbling away, clattering across the ground.

Revealing absolutely nothing underneath.

They just stand there for a second, stunned. Then, forearm shaking, Kingslayer passes their gauntlet through the empty space where their head should be.

Another second of silence.

Then, they screech,]

You're the one who started this! Not that I should expect much of someone whose head is literally hollow!

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-14 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow- [Incoming Medic. Repeat, incoming Medic.]

[She bodily yeets herself across the field, trying to pounce on Kingslayer and look inside their armor, babbling excitedly the whole time.]
-you're amazing, how do you work, are you animating the armor itself or inhabiting it as more of a unified force-

[The first few seconds after the hit lands, Pariah fully processes what she just did and pales a bit. An attack like that, she could have stabbed Kingslayer in the face! She could have double killed them!]

[Then the reality of Kingslayer's lack of body hits in and there's another layer of shock. Are they some kind of weird robot??? Can robots die???]
crosscutting: (chop)

[Then, about the time that Kingslayer starts hollering, Pariah realizes she has an AMAZING opening here.]

[Darting forward and past them, Pariah grabs the fallen helmet as she goes and makes a leap up one of the nearby buildings.]

What was that you said about being weak??
pioailurophobia: (Pissed Off)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-15 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
GAH-

GET OFF ME YOU-

[Kingslayer roars as they attempt, with little success, to wrestle Medic off of their armor. They are approximately two seconds from a complete and total breakdown and they swear by God that if-

Then Pariah steals their helmet, and all bets are off.]


TAKE THIS, YOU LITTLE SHITS! [they roar, armor wreathed in a terrible storm of red lightning as they grab Medic and toss her at Pariah with all the force of a torpedo and the enhanced strength of Mana Burst. Kingslayer jumps, propelling them after both their projectile and their target with a single bound at terrifying speed as they continue to yell incoherently.]

[Medic makes a surprised 'eep!' noise as she gets tossed up in the air, which turns to delighted laughter as she catches sight of the strange new power Kingslayer is showing, any concern about being chucked ass over teakettle apparently completely eclipsed by yet another fascinating new thing to study.]

[She doesn't have any time to strike back, but she manages to turn herself around in the air like a cat, landing with her feet under her.]

[This may still result in her landing on Pariah if she doesn't dodge in time.]

[oshit]

[Pariah Is already in the process of splitting again when Medic is thrown, which means she lands right where the original had been before. The helmet doesn't split, though, and Orange is the one that winds up holding it.]

[White takes off back down and further along, getting out of the way of Kingslayer's berserker charge, while Orange takes off as fast as she can across the roof. She takes a glance back, trying to gauge just how close the other Executor has gotten.]
mementomoritz: MERCY YES (Default)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-20 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Medic manages to turn her landing into a clumsy but functional duck and roll, stumbling back up to her feet and running after Orange.]

Hey, wait for me! Can I see it? I promise I'll give it back afterwards!

[It's unclear whether she's promising to give the helmet back to Pariah or Kingslayer...]
pioailurophobia: (Pissed Off)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-23 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

[The shadow of Kingslayer flies over the roof.

They dive down, covered in a torrent of red lightning.

...

The entire roof collapses below Medic, Kingslayer, and both copies of Pariah into a cavalcade of concrete and berserker rage.]
crosscutting: (lacerate)

[personal profile] crosscutting 2020-08-24 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Both Orange and White yell in panic and shift direction in tangent, White trying to get out of the blast radius while Orange attempts to get onto a new roof to escape the collapse. Orange is reverted to Real when White is still clipped badly by some of the rubble.]

[When the dust starts to clear Pariah shoves off some bits of rubble she'd fallen into, and looks around frantically for Kingslayer and Medic.] Medic? Kingslayer??
mementomoritz: much (now this won't hurt)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-24 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm okay! [Medic is currently koala-clinging to a piece of rebar jutting out of the wall, about fifteen feet off the ground.]

Are you all right? Is anyone injured? [As always, her first concern.] I'll fix it! ...Um.

As soon as I figure out how to get down.

[There's a suit of armor stuck in a mound of rubble, legs sticking straight-up as their upper half is completely buried by concrete.

They're also still screaming, although significantly more impotently this time. At least the sound is muffled.]
crosscutting: (snip)

[personal profile] crosscutting 2020-08-26 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, my back and leg kind of--

[Oh, THERE'S the idiot.]

[Pariah runs over to the angry boots and starts frantically digging them out. Medic can...probably climb down, it's fine.]

Would you stop screaming, you're the one that did this!!

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-26 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, maybe if I just- wait, that's not- ah! [In the background, the noise of Medic muttering to herself as she wiggles around trying to get a better grip is audible.]

[Apparently she manages it, because there's a muffled thump noise and an "Oof!" from somewhere behind Pariah, followed by Medic crouching down on Kingslayer's other side and helping with the digging.]


I can heal you both up whenever you're ready. Hopefully this works on armor, too! We don't want you to get all dented or something.
