At the World's End: Hot and Cold Clash! The Holiday Mixup Special

Who: Everyone [OPEN]
Where: Every District | 13th Hour
Summary: Pyro Jacks and Jack Frosts go around the city, and brainwash a few avatars.
Warnings: Singing.

It was more than just a strange turmoil at this point. Hell, it been the talk of the town and on the news since a few days ago. Searching for the culprits had showed up nothing (although rumors pointed it at either the Anoli who had been relatively quiet lately or an unidentified third party) and if other demons knew what was up, no one was really talking. What was visible, however, where the results.

Frost on one side of the street, summertime on the other. The very elements had been arguing for the entire month now met up in dangerous lines for the past week.

What's more, the network had started to malfunction for those supposed to be searching and helping to protect this town. Coincidence? Or was there something more in the air?

Dawn of the 21st day, or more technically, the end of the 20th, 13th hour, the culprits finally made themselves known.

Jack Frosts and Pyro Jacks flew around the city in visible numbers, spinning the air into divided lines, bringing forth spring, summer, fall, winter in a carousel of powers and spells. The air hissed and groaned, as they got into verbal arguments.

Turf wars, it seemed, spanned the elements and the holidays. Especially when two powerful clans were acting like spoiled children.

And like a plague, their powers spread out like the wildfire and snowflakes that they wielded, their mastery of the elements leaking out into the physical world, now not only touching the atmosphere, but the very people of the city. Those closely related to the ice, water, fire and lightning would find their powers suddenly acting strangely, and the creature's own wants and desires reflected in their own. Blessed...or cursed more likely with this, the city found itself with a different problem altogether.

But that wasn't all. Oh no. That would be far to easy. In the mist of the argument, they realized that just having two clans fighting would not be enough. Oh no! Since the habitats of the city lived in it, they should be the ones to decide who would win; a summery green Christmas, or a chilly wintery one?

For four people, it would be a call they couldn't ignore. The clans chose their avatars, and grew ready to spread their influence over all...in the name of a holiday.

Their hearts were in the right place. They were just thinking too much like demons.

[OOC: Feel free to start your own posts wandering around the city. If you signed up, you are now affected by the spells. You can control and play as many Frost and Pyro Jacks as you want, since they'll be close to you/wanting to help out their chosen ones. For the four, your first mission will be to spread the "joy" of your respectful holiday. You're not doing this to be malicious, you're just stating what you feel is the right option for Christmas, that's all (TOTALLY NOT BRAINWASHED YOU GUYS)! Everyone else, you can go around and try to talk with the Pyro or the Jack Frosts, but they'll be busy spreading their 'cheer' around. You can crash into each others' threads too, especially if you are one of the affected. For now it's not so much fighting as just being overly festive and why doesn't the other clan see how wrong they are?]

"Amagi-senpa!" Kanji screamed, watching her run away. "Dammit, don't be a dumbass!" It was his turn to break into a run, which was harder in this Santa costume. Yet as he did, there was a flash of light, and his Persona ran alongside him, the larger creature taking greater strides until it caught up to Yukiko and grasp her in its arms...still running? If it had been another time, Kanji would have marveled at how easy that had been and how it was getting easier in the city, but this wasn't the time.

"Yo! Why am I the one thinkin' straight here?! We're a team, remember?" Kanji's voice was already far behind, but he was yelling loud enough for her to hear him. "When you get close enough, you mind punchin' some sense Senpai for me? DO IT TAKE-MIKAZUCHI!"

The giant skull Persona took the arm holding Yukiko...pulled and back, and then...threw her with all his might. This was a lot faster than just running.

W-wait Kanji don't-!

Too late.

There was nothing that Yukiko could do other than be thrown straight ahead like a human missile. Well, at least she's going faster but she kind of hoped it was fast enough to reach their leader in time. It wasn't long before she spotted the feathers and loincloth and oh god, she's going to crash straight into him.

"Yu-kun!"

Yu turned around in surprise at that cry; had one of them come to understand what he was... doing...

...oh, it's Yukiko...

...heading for him like a missile...

Instinct kicked in immediately -- the Pyro Jacks could brainwash him all they wanted, but there was no way they'd be able to get rid of that instinct to protect his friends. He shot forward into Yukiko's path, arms outstretched to catch her... and he caught her all right. Unfortunately, she was traveling so fast that catching her ended with bowling him over, landing hard on the ground and knocking the air clear out of him.

"Kanji, what are you--"

She blinked as Yukiko bowled Yu over. That looked like it hurt, but on the other hand...

"Uh, good job, Kanji-kun! Senpai is down, so let's get rid of these demons and go rescue him!" she shouted, calling out Kanzeon. "Senpai's Persona right now are Izanagi and Pyro Jack. You go grab them, I'll try to hit their weaknesses! I'm just gonna assume the Pyro Jacks are weak to ice..."

'Doing something stupid but AWESOME,' Kujikawa. As if this was a surprise for anyone who knew him from Inaba. Still, it could work to their advantage should the tide turn a certain way.

Even if the children were being rather rude... as usual. No matter, she would still offer.

"Need a hand?"

Or, you know, countless. Because that could also be a thing. Though that would likely freak them out, and while she has no resistance to Fire (In fact, she's kind of weak to it)...

Izanagi, you owe me for this...

Yomotsu Shikome appeared as she stared ahead, unamused as she took a few steps forward. Might as well start this out with a Virus Wave.

...What was that about getting a free pass, Pyro Jacks?
