Who: Viridi and everyone who wanted to train; feel free to handwave it if you want to tag anyway.
Where: Capricorn district during the 13th Hour
Summary: The power of a goddess is nothing to sneeze at... Beware, demns.
Warnings: Misanthropy, violence, and mild 4th walling

Monday, December 10th, 10:30PM.  A familiar voice, unasked for, echoes in the ears of all of Hinoto-Ri once again.

"Alright, peons!  Time to get started." ...A brief pause. "I guess I should come up with a more flattering nickname now that you're officially under my protection. What are your thoughts on 'bond-servant'?" Hopefully, that was a joke.  "Alright, I'm only going to take of few of you a night, but I'll be doing this all week.  From now on, if you ever want to go training on your own, just leave me a message."

The COMPs automatically flip on as Viridi's voice transfers from resonant telepathy to the distinct tinniness of the COMP communicator.  "I do know how to use these things.  But I'll be communicating by telepathy during your missions; it's just easier that way for both of us.  If you don't have any questions before we get started, wait outside Capricorn District when the 13th Hour begins."

"And please remember what I said about being annoying.  I'd hate to have to drop you from the sky."

((I'll be doing all the NPCing unless you'd like to do so! Just drop me a note whenever we start fighting if you want.))

The last round of fire is too much for Lorelei to endure. The sudden cut-off of the sound is almost as disturbing as the high-pitched shrieking had been. Without any more fanfare, the demoness collapses and dissolves into an acrid black smoke, alongside her harp.

Having taken special care to stay out of the way of Rune's firing, Melia silently casts a Diarama on Rune to heal any wounds she had inflicted during the battle.

"...Hm."

Rune sank to her knees as she let out a relieved breath. That... that had been scary. She hadn't felt that weak and helpless in awhile, and it brought back some bad memories. After a moment, she forced a smile on her face, though it was a bit shaky.

"See? I told you I can defend myself!"

[forceofnature]

"Yeah."

Viridi is quiet for another second or so.

"Of course, if I hadn't told you about the harp and the fire, you'd probably be a lifeless husk by now. You humans are just so fragile without the gods to guide you." Her tone of voice has returned to its usual condescending arrogance melodious nature. Beside Rune, Melia smiles wanly and vanishes in a flash of light.

"So what do you think? You wanna run around some more or are you good for tonight?"

[pistolsakimbo]

"Who said I was ready to quit? I'm just getting started."

Though there was a slight shake to Rune's voice; that had been too close of a call for her to feel comfortable with. Geeze... Shakily, she got back up to her feet, brushing herself off.

((Think I'm going to wrap this up now! Thanks a lot for tagging with me!))

"Still trying to prove yourself? Be my guest. Go run yourself ragged; set some more nymphs on fire! ...Just not my nymph."

Despite herself, Viridi sounds slightly concerned. Which translates to sounding slightly less irritated than usual.

"Seriously, though, the 13th Hour's almost half over already. You spent way too long listening to that stupid song. Go get some sleep."
