It's enough to make a Demi-Fiend hate scorpions forever

[demifemme]

Who: Shura and OPEN
Where: Just outside the entrance of the Pisces apartment building
Summary: Shura is guarding the apartment with her bed in it, and everyone in Pisces at the same time
Warnings: Shura swears and throws up

Where were all the scorpions coming for, and would the waves ever end?!

"FUCK!!!" Shura shouted as Shiva appeared behind her, unleashing a powerful Hassohappa at the newest wave of scorpions. It gave Shura time, but barely, to fall on one knee and vomit her lunch thanks to the scorpions' poison before more appeared.

If she doesn't die, she'll be here all night, defending Pisces as if it was her home, as she has been all day. Stick around about sundown and you'll see her markings appear!

Shura wipes her mouth and gets back on her feet a little shakily. "Got something to treat poison?"

[sky_child]

He frowns. "No, sorry. I guess those things sting?"

[demifemme]

"Do they ever." Shura's ankles are covered in sting marks in various shades of red and purple. But there's no time to worry about that now because more scorpions are coming!

"Persona!" he shouts out, sending a gust of wind towards the approaching scorpions.

He hopes he doesn't have to use his bombs. They're in limited supply, even if he can always buy new ones. But, it's just. He's kind of DONE blowing things up.

"Great! If you can hold the fort for a minute I'll have time to cure myself!" She has Vishnu, who has Prayer, after all. She would have preferred to use him as a last resort but it looks like she won't have that luxury. The poison hits her with a wave of nausea and pain again and she wobbles on her feet.

"Yeah," he says with a nod.

He tries a different tactic with the scorpions this time: he lifts his sword, bathing it in light, then throws a diagonally-leaning disc towards the scorpions. That seems to clear up a good chunk of them.

Excellent. Shura takes a deep breath and raises her arms, summoning Vishnu, one of the demons at her service. With a flick of his sacred lotus, he casts Prayer of Shura, healing her and curing the poison before disappearing.

"Feels a lot better!" declares Shura, ready to fight anew.
