[EVENT] Battle Log Two

[majorarc]

Who: Everyone
When: October 2, Early Afternoon
Where: The Castle/Forest
What: Escape from the Castle
Warnings: Possible death, violence and cursing, so PG-13. Remember, if you die, you will be automatically sent home and to sleep until the May 2 day change.

Upon realizing that everyone was saving themselves, The World finally broke free and woke everyone up immediately. Her voice echos across the castle, the dungeon opening up to the forest, which she hoped they would take quickly.

“Hurry, please get back to your homes, I can only hold some of the minions but so much.” She says, sounding strained. The Empress screams out after her, her voice booming.

“Yes, please get back to your homes, if I don’t kill you first!”

With that, you have the choice to fight again, but either way, you’re going to be expelled to the forest and chased by minions and monsters until you get safely to your home.

ooc: Remember, if you die you will be sent home to sleep until May 2nd

Open!

[dreamsonwings]

[Upon hearing the World speak to them, Sora took no time to think about what she would do. Obviously, she bolted out of their prison and into the forest. Looking behind her, she wasn't watching for the minions but rather for anyone who decided to follow her.]

Re: Open!

[awesomemich]

[Prussia had seen her and decided to follow and try to help her, if needed. He had claimed her as a citizen, after all.]

[dreamsonwings]

[Hey less creepy nation man! She's glad to see you as she jumps over branches and other things in the forest. Personally still wishing she had pants instead of this stupid dress.]

[awesomemich]

[well he's just glad they didn't take his clothes from him again]

Are you well? [it's a little loud to carry over the noise of running]

[dreamsonwings]

We're running to make sure that other woman doesn't go through with that threat.

[Hey, you have to admit that the question was seriously dumb.]

[awesomemich]

Kesesese~ That witch can't kill me! And she'd have to do that before I let one of my citizens get hurt!

[dreamsonwings]

In this place? I'm not leaving anything to chance!

[If they had enough power to trap them in nightmares then Sora didn't want to know what else they had. She wasn't even paying attention to whatever was coming for them.]

[awesomemich]

Ja! Even in this place! I'm too awesome to die!

[it was the way he kept his own hope up]

Open~

[waterformybath]

Howl had bolted like a rabbit. He was good at that. As the wizard fled through the trees he resolutely kept his eyes ahead of him though the branches grasped at his fluttering jacket and hidden roots tried to trip him up. His physical stamina being none too good, he was soon gasping for breath and paused in the shadow of a thick trunk to regain his wind.

>~>

[solitarynuvola]

Hibari had been one of the last ones to leave, since it was hard to decide whether to stay and bite the Rulers to death, or to leave and wait for another day to do so. Obviously, he'd eventually taken the latter option (it wouldn't be easy to bite them to death without any weapons) - despite lagging behind, he quickly catches up to the rest of the escapees, in particular one wizard that was weakly panting against a tree, clearly winded.

It takes but a second for him to decide what to do - Howl could possibly be useful later on - so he marched up to the wizard, grabbed his collar, and pulled him along, navigating the woods with ease, though slightly slowed by the other man he was now dragging along.

"I thought you were good at running," he remarks, hardly out of breath, even as he leaps over a fallen log, still pulling the wizard behind him.

:D

[waterformybath]

Yoink! Howl stumbles at first but then regains his footing. He clambers hastily over the fallen log (making a dismayed noise when he gets a tear in his trousers) and does his best to keep up with Hibari.

"Not this kind of running," he says breathlessly. "I hide with magic."

His toe stubs into a rock and he almost falls flat on his face.

[solitarynuvola]

Man, you're so slow. Despite all the stumbling from the wizard, the two of them are making relatively good time - now that he thinks about it, it would most definitely be easier if he was on his own. Oh well. He'd chosen to drag Howl along - he would have to stick with him until the end.

"Useless in this situation." Stating the obvious? Why the hell not! Oh... Look what's blocking their way. A gigantic bear. Wonderful, he needed to get some anger out of his system. He lets go of Howl's collar, shoving the other back a small distance, all the while not taking his eyes off of the bear, which roars and rears on its back legs - it'd be best if he had room for this one.

"Run, wizard."

[waterformybath]

Howl doesn't need telling twice. He sprints as fast as he can away from the bear that's just taken a swipe at the man-god. Interpreting 'run' as synonymous to 'get the HELL out of there', he crashes through bushes and leaps and ducks under branches (terror seems to have temporarily given him some acrobatic skill) without looking back once.

Of course, this means he gets hopelessly lost after a minute of running without thinking. Pausing to catch his breath again, he squints past the foliage to try and discern where the sun is. Not that he really knows which direction safety lies.

The worst thing is, he can hear growling. It does not sound friendly.

[solitarynuvola]

Sorry, you're not going to get any help from him for right now - he's busy playing a curb stomp battle with this bear. Where he's the winner, of course.

When the beast is lying defeated on the ground, head smashed in, he wanders back off towards the direction in which he'd seen Howl take off, after Hibari had told him to run. At least the man was intelligent enough to follow orders, not that there really was a need to resist that particular order. Soon enough, he happens upon a trail of crushed undergrowth - he can also hear growling up above, but doesn't bother hurrying, still picking his way along the trail of destruction as if he's got all the time in the world to do so.

What does he see when he reaches Howl?

[waterformybath]

He'll see Howl trying to climb up a tree. It's not really working - he's already had to sacrifice his jacket just to get up to the first branch, and now there are wolves snapping at his heels. The wizard is currently trying to dissuade them by chucking branches at them.

"Oh, go away already!"

To be fair, he's not nearly as terrified as he could be. It's more annoyance than anything. Somehow wolves are not as terrifying as a gigantic bear.

[solitarynuvola]

Sorry, he's just going to... stare. And laugh (in his head, of course - Hibari Kyouya does not laugh out loud, ever) at the ridiculous sight. Should he save Howl? Sure, why not. Not like he has anything better to do.

A shrill whistle from him draws the attention of the wolves - he kicks up a sturdy branch from the ground and holds it at the ready as the wolves leap toward him, snarling, snapping, and generally being nuisances.

A short time later, they're no longer moving - the branch is thrown aside, smeared with blood, and yet somehow Hibari had managed to stay perfectly clean during the confrontation.

"Move, wizard." He's leaving without you!

open!

[selene]

[ Instead of immediately running as fast as she can, Usagi still lingers a little for a few moments - looking to see if there's still anyone left behind who needs help or who she can take with her. Leaving anyone behind and letting them get hurt.. it just doesn't feel right to her.

Partner up with her to run? ]

I have so much slow!fail but may I join in?

[bluesteelranger]

Renne's not too sure where he's going, usually one to fend alone. But, the scent of another life-form draws him. Scurrying on, the blue oddity hopes he doesn't run into anyone!

closed to ange

[hyahahacool]

[So, it appears as though everything had gone to hell once again... aahh he figured as much, there was no way they could get out of here without there being at least some drama or violence. Not like he was complaining really, it made everything all that more interesting.

...Except, there was a little lady that he was supposed to be protecting. They were going to meet up after the dream sequences, and he had yet to find her. His current mission was to find that redhead and get the hell out of here.]

[denies]

[ Ange quickly moved to find him as well, despite everything that had happened in the dreams. He was still her bodyguard, after all, and.. she still loved him, still wanted to rely on him and trust him, believe in those words he had said. So she was partially busy with finding the way out of the castle towards the forest, but at the same time she was also looking for him along the way.

It was then that she managed to spot him around a corner, quickly running towards him. Her expression was still fairly lineface, but there was something a little more tense about it, a little more on-guard. ]

Amakusa..!

[hyahahacool]

[Oh, as soon as he heard his name he stopped right away. He glanced over and saw her coming right for him. He still had that smile on his face, making it seem like the situation wasn't as dire as it really was.]

Oh lady! Took you long enough!

[He quickly took her hand once she was close, taking off into a sprint and pulling her along. It was time to get out of this damn castle. After he rounded a corner he spotted the entrance, and he knew that his little lady would be able to keep up with him. She was quick after all- he had seen those skills of her when she was running from the Sumaderas.]

[denies]

[ Of course she was able to keep up with him. Even though he had more training, she had plenty of experience due to events back in their world as well, so despite him obviously being much stronger than her she doesn't match up as badly against him agility-wise.

Besides, this was the kind of situation that literally meant running for her life. Not like she had any choice but to run hard, keeping up with him. Ange didn't even complain about holding hands, didn't tsun like she usually would. This wasn't the time nor the place for it, all that was important was escaping.

At least they managed to make it out of the castle like that, into the forest. ]

[hyahahacool]

[Even if Ange were to complain about holding hands or anything, he would have just ignored her and kept on running. They were out of that fortress and running out into the lush forest, and he knew that this would still be a challenge.

There were animals out here, wild beasts- and as he ran with her he quickly glanced over his shoulder, noticing the minions and other monsters coming after them. Hah- this was going to be fun.]

We got company lady! [he still had that smirk on his face though.]

[denies]

[ It wasn't too difficult to notice they were being chased. After all, it wasn't as if their chasers were actually being quiet. But they were only more incentive to keep running for her life - for both their lives. If only they could make it out of the forest and to their homes, that's what the World girl had been talking about, right?

Still, despite the situation and the fact she's running, being half-pulled along by him, Ange still has a deadpan tone when she speaks up. ]

Are you seriously excited even at an idea like that, Amakusa?

[hyahahacool]

[When Ange asked him such a thing he let out a hearty laugh!! Of course he was still excited, at least on the outside he was just acting as if he was, but internally he knew that they wouldn't make it if they were to fall behind now.]

Why not? It's been a while since we've had to run for our lives!

[Even as he said that, he held her hand a little tighter, running and ducking as they went through the forest. He wasn't sure how long they could outrun them before they would have to face them- but he had a feeling they would be attacking them soon enough.]
