tvklogs | Death Full Moon Log; (OPEN)

«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...

[Shirou was kinda surprised at the crack, but continued to be slashing through the zombies to cover his father.

After all, even if they differed in terms of ideologies, as they had found, they still yearned for the same thing, not to mention their familial bonds. With that, Shirou turned to Kiritsugu.]

I'll cover you, so don't worry about them!

[Come, young one, let us fight through these undyings in order to protect everyone! the dragon roared in his mind, and somewhere inside, he knew that no one else is going to die tonight, for they will protect everyone that are in harm's way. For some reason though, Shirou's invocation line for his Persona is different compared to the others, as shown by this.]

...Trace, on!

[It's very different to hear something than it is to see it. Kiritsugu had heard of Shirou's resolve to save people. It had been explained to him. However, he had never actually seen it in action. To see someone so bent on the idea of helping others was reminiscent of his own younger years.]

[Yes, Shirou was his opposite in certain respects. While Kiritsugu took genuine joy in helping people, he had begun to suspect Shirou of simply chasing after his dream. Still... if it fulfilled him, made him happy, was that really so bad?]

Thou art I... And I am thou...

[Now wasn't the time to think that. The shots ring out once again, taking advantage of the openings Shirou's leaving. The head seems to be protected by metal, the openings left by the helm far too small to hit a moving target. The coffins protect the back, so that's out as well. Fortunately, the importance of headshots is often exaggerated. There are plenty of equally-lethal spots to hit in a human body, and with Shadow biology, rules were even more distorted. Two rounds fly from the 4.68 kg rifle, headed directly at Death's chest, which seems to be composed of no more than cloth.]

[Directly facing the opponent has a heavy impact on Kiritsugu. Fighting death itself is a symbolic act for a man who knows it's still waiting for him back home. But if he's to protect his son, then he'll gladly progress towards that goal.]

[He had resolved to kill his emotions to save the world. He had resolved to kill his emotions to save Ilya.]

From the sea of thy soul, I come forth...

[Did he really have any right to stop if it would save Shirou?]

[Focusing on the opponent right in front of him, Shirou decided to have Pendragon charge at Death, as he jumped back from a clawing attempt by a zombie, and retaliating with a bisecting slash.

He noted that his skill with sword is still lacking, and decided to ask Saber for more training after this is over.

Though, this is no time to be thinking that, as the large Shadow charged at him after throwing away Pendragon with such ease.

Not to worry, as the dragon immediately took that change to grab at one of the Shadow's coffin to halt it on its track.]

[A mask. He had to assume a mask if he was to accomplish what he sought. Not unlike most of his life. Not unlike him trying to block out everything he has done, or will receive in turn.]

[Perhaps this is his true self. Despite all his suffering, maybe this is the only path that is allowed to Emiya Kiritsugu. Not a mask, or an emotional man, but an eternal conflicting storm between both. If every part of a personality constitutes as one's true self, then both mask and face are one in the same.]

...Throne.

[True to its owner's character, Kiritsugu's Persona comes unannounced, the only sign of its presence being a series of torches in the dark. In fact, the difference in Kiritsugu is almost as noteworthy as the Persona itself. For a brief moment, he completely understands his opponent. Every point he must hit. Every instance worth taking. His eyes now remain focused, leveled against the most vulnerable piece in the helmet of Death itself.]

[Yes, he would die upon returning back home. But at this very moment, such a fact is not even worth considering.]

Crack!!

[With both their combined forces, they at least managed to cause Death to reel back in pain, and for it to focus on other combatants right now.

Though, it did not leave them without some sort of prize.

Yeah, they're now surrounded with zombies.]

[This was a problem. Good thing he accounted for things getting out of control.]

Shirou, enter the building!

[Kiritsugu's not in the habit of sounding desperate, but he's worried about his son. However, if he can just carve a path through the zombies big enough to enter...]

[>Shirou

>Ducking out from a fight.

>A 'Seigi no Mikata' never does that.]

Its alright, I can handle them!

[And with that the Pendragon continues bowling over those Zombies like bowling pins.]

[Can't use the bombs while he's out there. While that would kill a large part of the mob, it would take Shirou out.]

[...]

[No. No, he can't let that happen. Rapidly, the first kindles of Kiritsugu's cold ideal are extinguished by such a drastic decision put in front of him. Shirou's the one life he was able to justify all his losses with. He won't lose him, not even emotionally. He points towards a small paper-covered rectangle on the ground.]

If you contain them in that area, they can diminish the blast!

Alright!

[And he's going to let the dragon whack them into the rectangle.]
