arcanarumlogs | [EVENT] Battle Log Two

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

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.

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.

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."

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.

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?

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.

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!

Every time the branch is used against the wolves, Howl winces. Even against animals trying to kill him he doesn't condone violence. After all, they did wander into their territory...

But, oh, no time for lectures like that. The other man is leaving without him. He drops down easily from his perch, landing with a soft 'Oof!' and quickly catches up to Hibari. He keeps a wary eye out for other predators.

"Are they trying to kill us?"

"Obvious enough." Did it really take you that long to figure out, Howl? Wow.

It occurs to him soon enough that he really has no idea which direction they're heading in - their surroundings don't give him much of an idea, either, so with a sigh, he stops next to a tree and looks up at the canopy. Not much to see from down here, really.

"Wait here," he orders, before scaling the tree with an enviable ease. After a little pause, another sentence comes drifting down from above. "Don't stand too close to the tree."

The branches holds his weight easily, and soon he reaches the top, popping up from the canopy to peer around. The castle was behind him - and in front, he could see the roofs of the Navy District houses. Wonderful, they were heading in the right direction.

Okay. Hey, Howl, did you listen to his advice? Because if you didn't, you probably just got crushed by him jumping down on top of you. If you did listen to his advice, well done! You have not been crushed by a falling Hibari.

It's only enviable because he can't simply float up like he usually does. Luckily, Howl did move back, though not far enough away to not be startled by the man suddenly dropping out of the tree.

"Are we going the right way?"

A decisive nod answers Howl's question as he straightens and brushes his clothing off, before heading off again, towards the Navy District. It would probably be safer to stick with him until you reach town again, Howl! D;

Not really being one to chatter idly, he ends up following Hibari in silence until they reach their district. The walk is a good opportunity to examine the forest, which...looks like any other forest. He keeps an ear out for any more wild animals as he follows just a step or two behind the other man.

He has a feeling that the animals won't follow them into their districts - if they did, though, he'd take care of them, no fuss. Now, isn't this your house, Howl? Say goodbye to your lovely escort, since he's already wandering away.

"Thank you!" he calls out to the disappearing back. Hibari didn't have to help him out (and he has the feeling that the man doesn't, usually). At least he was spared a gruesome death and disorienting prospect of waking up after he had 'died'.
