Chaos.

There was no other way to describe the mood in the city, the streets filled with civilians attempting to huddle to the closest safe havens. The demons who had walked a fragile alliance with humans, previously content to stay underground due to the fact that they knew they would be pushed back, suddenly filled the streets - attacking on sight when they saw humans showing themselves to be weak. The darker monsters among them relished in this new opportunity, ignoring humanity's pleas and destroying what little remained of the city's peaceful sanity.

Everywhere, the city was a tumultuous mixture of those still stuck in their childish forms, with some back to their older selves trying to fix what they could and reestablish electrical power and barriers. Some demons, siding with humanity despite everything, aided them by keeping the others at bay. Personas were out in full force, swarming the skies and pushing back invaders. But it simply wasn't enough.

Without a network and all of the news outlets completely silent, everyone was left to fend for themselves... and it wasn't pretty.

The Visitors had to act as fast as they could, still in their child forms or not. There was so much to do, and without any directives. No intel sent to their heads explaining the situation. The Wise Men facility was silent. No one seemed to be answering...

[OOC - Here is the City Page. Your character can be anywhere and either look for clues, help people out or simply try to defend themselves. Remember, there is no electrical power right now, and most of the areas of the city are dark.

It's up to you to decide what to do. Shall you go save civilians, reestablish power, go to the MAGI headquarters? The choices will affect the game. There is a planning post in the OOC comm, create teams, decide what to do and help save Hinoto-Ri by following this link. Just know that, tonight, someone you might have thought an ally will declare themselves a foe.

Good luck.]

"U-uh-huh." Even though he probably can't see it, she nods, somehow finding a way to hold on even more tightly. She winces slightly when the other boy shouts at them - she really shouldn't have come out here after all, should she?

"You say that like it's that easy!" His grip tightens. It's too harsh for such a small hand, but it's the only outlet to express that clenching, gutteral fear that twists up his stomach.

Another round of gunshots slows down two of the Kobolds rushing in, but it isn't long before he turns tail and rushes for the door, just moments away from scooping Aoi up completely into his arms. He's not above it, and --

No. He has to stay. A Kobold attempts to strike the pair from a distance, but the aim is just slighted enough that they're spared.

”Sorry, Aoi..."

Otonashi thrusts the girl in the direction of the house and turns sharply, digging his heels into the dirt. He doesn't meet her eyes again.

"Block the doors off. Stay with Avitus, and don't let anyone in. Go!"

And while Otonashi is taking care of Aoi, Noda continues to attack at the horde of Kobolds, resorting to his persona to do most of the attack now.

Not being used to using one, though, it's clear Noda's stamina is depleting quickly the more he cast attack spells.

Aoi drops the naginata as she's shoved into the house, hardly noticing as it rolls slightly on the stone flooring. Although she quickly turns to protest, she sees those Kobolds again, and it sends a quake of fear through her.

"...B-Be careful!" The words sound so pointless. Even though she's young, she knows that just words aren't going to save them. But nevertheless... She shuts the door, hurrying to find something with which she can block it.

Shouldering past the Kobolds is a dangerous affair, one that nets him quite a few scuffs and another swelling bruise on his back to even him out. Ignoring the dulled ache, he switches back to the rifle and aims at one of the beasts, just as it gears up knock Noda off his feet.

The shot is a precise enough one to render the monster dead on contact. If it weren't for the adrenaline in his system, Otonashi might stop to be disturbed at just how used to this he is. Sentiments of morality will have to wait, though, as he acts as long-range backup for the purple-haired boy.

At least as long as the Kobolds he bypassed earlier don't draw too much closer.

Noda's secretly glad that the Kobold had been shot to death; he was definitely going to have gotten a critical damage if it had not been killed quickly as it had. He continues to beat up the rest of the group as those whom Otonashi had passed started approaching from behind. Luckily, he notices them before they got too close; unfortunately, he didn't have his usual gun on him out of all times. Not having any time to think, Noda grips his halberd before turning to face Otonashi's direction...

To throw the halberd blade straight at one of the Kobolds that was about to attack Otonashi. The bladed weapon cuts through the air and lands right in its mark, stabbing deeply into the Kobold.

"Take care of those around you first you assist!!!" He yells shortly before getting a nasty hit from one of the remaining Kobolds.

The Kobold falls back, hitting the ground with a sickening, wet thud. The redhead turns, torn between the monster left standing behind him and the ones that remain by Noda, locked in their assault.

He has no time left to hesitate. Pulling back, he grabs the halberd and crushes his foot onto the deceased beast, ripping the blade from the body and nearly toppling over from the weight. The other Kobold lands a clean hit on one of his hands, very nearly disarming him. Knuckles split open and bleeding, he grips the polearm with his other hand and drags it towards Noda, abandoning the enemy.

Noda's halberd is not a weapon that Otonashi can effectively wield, but he manages to get one weak swing in. It's only enough to stun the attacking Kobolds, more a distraction than anything, but he looks up to Noda, his trembling muscles all but begging the other boy to take it.

While his main weapon was by Otonashi, Noda resorts to using his Stechkin APS. Since he hasn't practiced with his firearm as much as Otonashi, his aim is not as accurate as he'd like.　So when Otonashi came up to his side, he gladly retrieved the bladed weapon from the other.

"...We've managed to cut the number down... but even I cannot hold off if any more show up." Noda said, his breathing ragged from his stamina low. Even with the increased defense carried over by his persona, he had received too much of a damage from too many demons.
