Conquestum Paradisi

Conquestum Paradisi


What: Closing Arena Ceremonies, Part 2
Where: Aries Arena & Televised
Summary: 1/24/10AC
Warnings: This could get serious...but who knows.

Finally it was time for the mayor, Kazuki Sakahagi, to speak up. Not even an thirty minutes left to the celebrations, but seeing him go appeared to be lighting up a spark in the citizens. It wasn't too hard to see why; his enthusiastic grin and way of walking could easily melt anyone's worry away.

He walked to the center stage as cheering broke out, two men in black and Junko Tanako behind him.

Palutena had actually been expecting something like this would happen, and she started moving toward the stage as soon as the masked men had appeared. Running straight through would be too hectic, so instead she's trying move around the crowd, to the side of the stage.

It's still pretty hectic. People are panicking, pushing and shoving, and it's all she can do to stay out of their way. But she's managing to make steady progress for now.

She probably has no reason to look above the crowd, but if she does, she'll see a certain angel flying towards the stage.

He doesn't get too far, though. It's not that there's anything up there that's stopping him. No, it's what he sees on the ground.

"Lady Palutena!"

He dives down towards her, having no choice but to somewhat land on her to avoid colliding into anyone else.
poorfueleconomy: (Is an angel watching closely over me?)

/lacks appropriate icons...

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-25 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Pit!"

She's a little surprised to see him flying on his own, they grow up so fast these days... but she'll worry about that later.

"We need to- oof!"

Whatever she was going to say is cut off by the somewhat invasive landing which knocked her off balance and into some of the people trying to flee the scene. But at least she manages to stay on her feet.

Pit manages to wriggle his way to his feet. "What are you doing here?" he asks, and, giving her time to respond (which is to say, no time to respond): "We need to get you out of here, fast!"

"No, we need to get to the stage."

There is no way she's running away after that hypocritical speech. How dare they talk about saving everyone right before they attack a room full of innocent people?

"Don't worry about me, Pit. I'm tougher than I look."

They don't have time to chat, so she starts moving toward the stage again, following her original plan.
gforceinmyfaaaace: (look at that)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-25 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Lady Palutena!"

He knows she's tougher than she looks. But she's Lady Palutena. His patron goddess. If anything happened to her...

He follows her closely, keeping an eye out on any dangers around them.

And sending up a thought to a certain goddess.

Viridi, if you can hear me, spare an eye for us both.
forceofnature: (Surprise)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-01-25 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Palutena, what are you doing meandering around like a lost kitten?"

Viridi always has time to snark at Pit and Palutena.

"Seriously, though, Pit, she's a goddess. I know you love her and blah blah mushy gook, but all of the humans in this place combined couldn't hurt her."

"...Anywhere, you're clear to go."
poorfueleconomy: (Can there be a guiding light)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-25 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"This is hardly 'meandering.' It's easier to go around a crowd like this than to push through it."

And at least she's making progress. A lot of the people who tried to go straight down the middle got waylaid by one thing or another.

"But I appreciate the vote of confidence."

"There you are, friends!"

Apparently, the thought had been intercepted by Hades somewhere along the way. The god is ways away, dodging and sidestepping shots sent at him. He's waiting for them to get tired and decide to take on others. No reason to give the protagonists less challenges to face.

"I've been looking all over for you. This is exactly the kind of chaos I expected to catch your eye."
forceofnature: (Confused)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-01-25 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Ugh. Ugh. Double ugh."

Viridi's voice releases a groan of soul-weary irritation.

"Of course he's here. 'K, let me deal with Hades; you two get back to your awkward meandering."
poorfueleconomy: (What will fill this emptiness)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-25 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Seconding that 'ugh.' As if there weren't enough problems."

She continues with her completely non-awkward, admittedly kind of meandering towards the stage. She's almost there. She appreciates Viridi taking one for the team though.

"Good luck with that."
gforceinmyfaaaace: (say it a third time)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-25 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
"What is Hades doing here?" Pit demands. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"You never asked, Pitty Pat."

Grabbing a masked Anoli member by the collar, Hades flashes a smile and tosses him over at Palutena.

"Nor for that, but consider it a welcome gift."
forceofnature: (Surprise)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-01-25 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
"How could you not have known?! He was standing on a corner screaming for his minions for like, two hours!"

The Anoli member is suddenly arrested in mid-air and tossed clear out of the stadium. No one ever said the Power of Flight had to be voluntarily used.

Okay, now she feels kind of bad.

"I... thought you knew. Viridi mentioned him to me when I arrived so I just assumed...."

Her apology is almost interrupted by Hades' lovely 'gift' but luckily Viridi was on that.

"Hades, I'd ask whether you had anything better to do, but I'm afraid I'd find out that throwing things at us was actually the highlight of your evening."

She arrives at right side of the stage, all she has to do now is get up there.

"I would be more careful, if I were you." After all, this was now a battleground for terrorists; cowards and those who would try to restore order or protect those who would be otherwise in danger. Still, it does not stop her from at least attempting to look out for her fellow goddesses, despite what she embodies. "It is about to grow even more dire."
poorfueleconomy: (Wishing on a dream that seems far off)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-25 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course it is. Things like this have a bad habit of growing more and more dire until someone does something about it."

She knows it's dangerous, but she's a goddess of light, a defender of humanity. So she keeps going.

"I appreciate the concern, but I can't just sit here and let them hurt innocent people."
handshakegreeting: (death ▣ one thousand)

[personal profile] handshakegreeting 2013-01-25 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Indeed. Which is why the children of man are already acting. Whether it be for or against order." hiisssss, not the light The goddess of death smiles politely, still disguised to many as she moves out of the way.

"Then I hope for your sake that it is not you or yours that I will have to welcome in my own realm." For terrorist attacks generally led to at least a few casualties, as tragic as reality was. Truly, they would have been better off in what she offered once upon a time, yet was rejected. "And that their desires are strong enough to withstand the outcomes."
poorfueleconomy: (hoping it will come today)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-25 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry. This is not the first battle I've seen."

And she's on her way. If she had more time, she'd stop to chat, but as things are she needs to get going.
