[hachitaro]

Which district are you in?

[bondsofsuffering]

Pisces.

[hachitaro]

Okay. Let's go.

[Walking walking walking.]

Ice Dance

[a_gentle_boy]

[The Legion gurgles and squelches in surprise as it watches its attacks bounce away. Still, its two opponents remained largely disabled; it has no qualms about letting loose with another blast of ice from its gaping maws.]

...Let it come through!

[Lucas's cry comes sharply; he has, it seems, been inspired by Aoi's actions. From his position on the floor, the boy holds up a hand glowing with an incandescent blue light.]

[doesasordered]

Ah, so you have noticed as well. I also seem to be affected. Are you? [He's looking unusually uncomfortable, even if it is subtle. But most of Nik's emotions are.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[It will probably take a while - tram ride included, thanks to that lovely lake - and unless Taro pipes up, Hizumi will be content with walking in silence.

He's honestly said far, far too much today, and it really needs to stop.]

[eyewillprotect]

[She does hesitate for a second, less out of lack of trust and more from surprise. But if fighting alongside her friends had taught her anything, it was that there was usually a good reason for what might seem like a strange request.

Thus, she will obligingly allow the barrier to drop, although her body still remains as tense as it can under the weight of the Bind. Hopefully whatever Lucas has in mind will work-!]

[greatseal]

[Minako smiles back.]

Do you want to talk about it...? I know it's not really my business, but sometimes that helps.

[leadthebeats]

There's no point in having the weather change when you're dead.

[leadthebeats]

[ Yuri merely smiles back, shrugging her shoulders as she speaks. ]

I've been better, but it's not as if I'm kidnapped again, so, I suppose it could be worse. I'm just looking around for now. I might get something if it's really necessary, though.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha was planning on talking about how she wanted a stun baton, but...well.

"...kidnapped again?"

[meaningdies]

I'm fine with being here for now. I need time to come up with another solution.

[prettytamer]

"Well love and justice are always love and justice!"

[a_gentle_boy]

...Um. Not really to a stranger, no.

[Whoops. That came out a lot ruder than he had planned.]

S-Sorry. I didn't mean it to sound that way.

[Nothing he said was coming out right today.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Whatever Lucas has in mind seems to entail getting struck by the ice, since he does absolutely nothing to prevent himself from being battered by the shards. He braces himself as the Ice Dance connects.

As they hit him, though... Strangely, it is the Legion that lets loose a grotesque cry rather than Lucas, and as they watch, the gases keeping its body afloat spew forth from the jagged wounds that have appeared on its body. The thing slowly begins to collapse...]

Try to spear it now!

[all_wound_up]

Yes...

[She nods, frowning a little.]

I even told Midori-san about my...!

[And then she quickly clamps her hands over her mouth, mumbling the next few words. It seems she's at least learned to do this much.]

[all_wound_up]

Dead...? You mean like Hinata-san?

[terminally_clever]

I suppose this is a rather convenient situation for that purpose, assuming we retain our memories of having been here upon our return.

[greatseal]

Don't worry, I understand.

[hmm...] So why don't we exchange names? Then we'll be a little less strangers. I'm Minako, nice to meet you!

[a_gentle_boy]

[Lucas nods a little bit in response to her suggestion.]

My name is Lucas. It's nice to meet you, too, Miss Minako.

[Regardless of the situation, Lucas would never think of polite formalities as a lie.]

I'm sorry for the trouble again. Were you shopping here...?

[eyewillprotect]

[She does tense as the Ice Dance hits him, and is very much about to rush to his aid when she notices Legion's reaction. And when Lucas calls out to her, she snaps back into battle mode.

The gash-like marks are back, and her naginata begins to move once again. It floats up into the air for just a moment before making a fast thrust at the demon.]

[mementodagger]

Weighty truths, and Yurick fell silent as he tried to balance them in his mind. His expression clearly showed he was torn now. To both help and harm, that's what Naoya did, and the idea of sacrificing a few to save the many wasn't a foreign concept to the mage.

"It can't have been an easy choice to make, though." His voice is softer, almost apologetic rather than accusatory.

[meaningdies]

"It was, if only because it was the only option that made sense." It would happen eventually, he'd just... pushed it along.

"And I've seen too many wars, from both the combatant and civilian sides, to hesitate in those kinds of decisions."

[meaningdies]

We might. We might not. I doubt very much that Philemon is able to take memories from me, though. If he could... well. We'd have to have a very long talk about that.

[terminally_clever]

Assuming you're able to find him. He's annoyingly elusive. But then again, I suppose self-described patrons of humanity's interest generally are.
