Death Full Moon Log; (OPEN)

[velvetyhelpers.livejournal.com]

«OOC» This log will be run different than the ones prior to it. We are asking players to pretty much handle the boss fight on their own instead of asking mods to play out the boss battle. If you do need assistance or have any questions, please reply to this thread and we will answer back as soon as possible. Due to the timing of this log, please feel free to backtag on it for as long as you like. If you need a refresher on the event, please glance over this post.

---

The day (October 15) has ultimately been a rough one, taxing on both civilians and those who aren't naturally from this world. Naturally, the power of the full moon breaks the cycle and victory grows further out of reach for those who seek it. The "zombies" roam well beyond the Dark Hour and throughout the day. Wreaking havoc on those who stand in the way and even those who try to run, it appears that this is going to be a very taxing time of battle.

Good news everyone! The Death Arcana has made it's appearance in front of the hotel. Almost as though they were expecting people to return there for safety. Bad news everyone... It seems the zombie population here is much higher, almost as though they were drawn in by this being's presence. There's a sliver of hope however! This one doesn't seem to have the usual trash mobs shadows around it...

Remember, parties can consist of 3-6 characters. It might not be a bad idea to team up when there's this many zombies shuffling around...

Damn it!

[ Kyouko's unhappy. What else is new? She was hoping to make it back into the hotel with ease, but it seems she's been blocked by the sudden appearance of a nastier looking Shadow. One she's willing to bet is the cause behind all of this. Sitting up on top of a street lamp, she was undetected until her sudden outburst.

Well, she's not going to tolerate being shaken up by zombies. Not when she has the Best Persona Ever. Calling for her while holding onto the lamp post for dear life, Scathach (http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Scathach) appeaars, casting several Garu to knock away the zombies from the pole. ]

[ Standing up tall from the roof of the hotel is one Arturia Pendragon (otherwise known as dfc!Saber. She's clearly distressed, as if she's had to restrain herself the entire day, watching the zombies maul through the innocents of this city. ]

This is wrong. [ Spoken to the other person on the roof with her. ] It is maddening to just stand by idly and not act!

[ If it was possible for Saber to feel anger, it would be towards her helplessness. Turning her gaze back downwards, it's then that she notices the peculiar Shadow that's appeared. ]

Lancer-!! [ Leaning over the railing for a better look. ] Is this the reason you forced this restraint on us?

[This isn't too bad. It's not as though Klaus doesn't live in his lab half the time now anyway. But he does need something from his hotel room to complete the prototype for a second design of the lightning sword he's currently carrying, and he can't because all those zombies and the Death Arcana are in the way.

And NOBODY gets in the way of SCIENCE!]

Right. Round two, then.

[With one eye and a weapon he's feeling not entirely confident with, however (thanks Ingrid and Ada), he'll need backup. WHO NEEDS A WALL? HE'S GOOD AT BEING ONE OF THOSE.]

[Miki was not having a good day, since her usual job of moving around the city delivering things had gotten much harder when all of the zombies decided to try killing her in the morning rather than wait till dark like normal. Miki enjoys beating people up but after a full day of it having to fight through a thick mob of zombies and now some giant thing was standing in front of the entrance is not exactly what she wanted to do. What she wanted to do was sleep. With a frustrated roar miki calls forth her persona Ares and gets ready to beat her way to her bed.]

[babel_hacker]

Oh geez.

[He's well aware of what tonight is. It's the full moon, after all. The night where a large Shadow will come out, and highly likely to be the one responsible for this entire mess.

Navigating the streets from the dorms to the apparent source was difficult. Atsuro had to be quick and alert to avoid as many fights as possible.

Once he's almost at the hotel, he keep his eyes on the large Shadow from his hiding spot.]

This is it.

PRE-FIGHT;

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

[Tatsuma is tired.

He has been out all day, not so much fighting as he has been guiding. Trying desperately to get the ordinary people to safer places during this dangerous time. Some attempts went better than others.

It isn't until he takes to a rooftop to try to look for a way back to the hotel that he sees the Death. Although he is weary, he silently begins making his way down again; he'll give every last bit he has to take this thing down if he has to.]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

[Ryuunosuke watched people die a little while today, and the change was interesting, but honestly, zombies don't have any creativity than from a splatter movie, do they? That's why he'd rather have them go away so he can kill for himself.

That was a weird-looking thing, trying too hard to look badass. He'd like it better when it killed somebody.]

Uh, standard procedure is like things were during the first, right? I was. Busy. The last time.

[Meaningful glance at Lancer. Yeah, he was sort of dead then.]

[mai-agare.livejournal.com]

[It was amazing how quickly the shelter Endou and Kazemaru took that day became unsafe. The sheer number of zombies that suddenly came roaming the area made it so that neither could let their guard down for a second soon as they come out of hiding. By now, there was only one way out--running past the mass of undead.]

[The two boys awaited the clearing, and timed the second to bolt.]



[They face each other and share a nod.]



[Alerted, the zombies' heads turned, and they give chase. Skillfully dodging, Endou and Kazemaru make their way a short distance before a loud =crash=, and a cut off scream.]



[Heavy dust blurred Endou's view; but he could tell for certain that debris had collapsed onto the other.]

[Kaiji was at his wit's end this week. He's had enough of fighting the innocent citizens in this town who've become monsters. Several of his immigrant allies have been killed or have disappeared. And now today he's been fighting off zombies nonstop, trying to keep himself and the other citizens safe as best as he can.

But that resolve of his is starting to fade due to mental and physical exhaustion. He's carrying a dented metal baseball bat, he's splattered with blood, and he's eying up Death.]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[At this point, April wanted nothing more than to just sleep and have this day end already; the death of her friend earlier and having spent most of the day fighting has resulted in her becoming mentally and physically exhausted. But she couldn't stop yet, not while that Shadow in front of the hotel was still alive.

So, she takes a moment to check over her gun to make sure it's fully loaded while making sure to keep an eye on the large Shadow.]

[ You know, it was a miracle in itself that he had actually survived this long. He hadn't really traveled outside during the dark hour too many times before, mainly because he knew he was ill-prepared to face the dangers. But he couldn't live with himself if he allowed more people to die, either. And so when the dead decided to stay active, Bridge made a vow with himself to do everything in his power to protect these people. It didn't matter if they were complete strangers, a life was a life. That was how he was raised, how he was trained. There wasn't a single life that wasn't worth fighting for.

And so he took to the streets. He may not have his morpher, or any of his usual arsenal at his disposal, but he was still quick on his feet. He could easily dodge incoming zombies, then turn around to... put a bullet in their head. He wasn't really comfortable with the idea, and he would've much preferred non-lethal means. But these things couldn't be stopped by talks about being good and all this non-sense he actually believed in. A part of him felt guilty for every bullet fired. These monsters were once human. They might have even been trying to protect their family or friends before this happened. But, no. He had to erase any kind of empathy from his mind and focus on his goal at hand. Stay alive long enough to protect these people. He couldn't be much help if he was dead.

Eventually he found himself in some less dense area, probably far off from where the main battle was taking place. It was initially the cries of a child that drew him here, but when he actually arrived? There was nobody to be seen. ]

That's weird. I could've sworn I heard...

[koori_no_ken]

[ He scraped by with a sword finally. HE didn't really grit his teeth and take it but he managed to keep everything under wraps for now. Still, this whole process of deaths and people dying had made him quite suspicious. He's already out to rip people's throats off if it came down to that. Unlike most people he wasn't as friendly or merciful. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes as he shifted his movement watching the area for anything that might jump out at him. ]

[royal-painxx.livejournal.com]

[ Ishtar's upset. There were so many deaths and so many innocent people's lives at stake. So many things happening at once. She just learned that Allen was dead....that upsets her even more. She's not stopping right now, just running blindly through the crowd of people being rather reckless. She wanted to get rid of these things whatever the hell they were that was doing this. Taking people from her.

She lost a few friends already. She wasn't prepared to lose anymore than she had to. ]

[revivedpianist.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind him, Neah is just extremely unhappy and vaguely mad. Vaguely, yet easily identifiable to the visible eye that he could possibly be going borderline berserk with the way he aim the gun and pulled the trigger at a nearby zombie who was getting far too close to him.]

Useless. [Once the zombie hit the floor, Neah approached it with quite a smile on his face. Ending it's life with a single stomp to it's head.] My apologies. Just for... clarification that you are dead and will not attack me from behind.

[A chuckle, and he proceeds.

Oh, they're multiplying in numbers. He should have used his car to squish all of them... OH WELL. ROUND TWO BITCHES.]

[rodeospike.livejournal.com]

[Whoa whoa whoa! He wasn't prepared for something like this! Not when he was out casually walking for a snack!

Luckily Jr. had his guns on him.

Running through the streets and trying to find the nearest high ground that he could climb and shoot from, because all these zombies? Yeah. Not enough gun power, and just not enough power in general to save his ass.]

What the hell! [WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.]

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

[]

This lacks any charm the other enemy could have ever possessed, and it wasn't much to begin with.

[The cop that managed arrest her--a pretty uneventful handcuffing; she didn't resit--suddenly remember that yeah, there are zombies about and that it's better to protect the citizens that are still sane than escorting a young girl to the detention center. Now she's alone during this pleasantly eerie night and weaponless among the monsters that are darker than shadows. Of course, the change from the normal night to the Dark Hour is not unexpected; she's seen horrors, or what others would consider horrors, that appear only during certain times. There is not a single trace of fear, even though by all means there should be. This? Is pure, unfortunate, misconception.

She prefers the appearance of these creatures to those of humans, even though she knows both enjoy hurting her. Skinny wrists slip out of the handcuffs, and she finds one rusty pipe. Yes. That's totally going to help this girl, who has no idea what's going on but is acting like this is perfectly expected. If anyone saw her intro, they might have seen a sort of bloody crime scene. But no one wants to help a murderer, right?]

*He was not cut out for this. Or at least, that's what Allen always told himself when he got dragged into things like this. But the truth was, he was getting used to it and, after fighting soldiers, guard bots and Gnosis, battlefields just didn't scare him as much as they used to.

Besides, in this case, he was worried about people. He didn't know if Jr. still had his guns, since they were old fashioned enough to fit in with the time period, but he was pretty sure MOMO wouldn't have her bow if his crossbow was gone. He'd managed to get a replacement and was using a repeating hand crossbow to take down any zombies that got in his way, but he was still worried.*

MOMO! Jr.! I hope those two are alright...

...

[Unlike any other currently fighting zombies, Issei's loss had been eating on him, and he's currently just sitting there in his room.

...When he spotted the Shadow in the proximity of the hotel, he headed out.]

Re: BOSS FIGHT;

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

[Bounding her way though the hoard of zombies, Miki finds a clearing near the boss, landing in a dramatic stance. She looks up at it and begins to ask it a questions.]

You think you can continue to keep me and my friends from sleeping? I think it's time we got rid of you.

[Miki closes her eyes and moves into a more martial stance.]

It's time you learned the power of Onimaru...

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[Of course, since Madoka doesn't have any offensive spells, she stays at a safe distance, ready to state the obvious.]

If defeat this one, the murders will probably stop... Give it all you have, everyone!

[It's going to take some time before she can scan for its attributes. Good luck!]
