Free-For-All 13th Hour Sale [Open]

[silvercoins]

Who: You, and also you!
Where: Around the city! Specify where in the reply, along with what night.
Summary: The Visitors have a job to make the city safer and strengthen their Personas to get cool powers.
Warnings: Violence against demons an inevitability; please mention any other warnings as they come up.

In the excitement of summer, it might have slipped some Visitor's minds to go out and patrol the city during the 13th Hour. On the other hand, some were infused with even more energy on those summer nights. It really all depended on the person and perhaps whether their previous encounters were Frosts and Prinnies or something nastier.

Speaking of which... what was out there to be fought tonight?

Never said I was an agent of justice, now, did I? But I ain't here to pick fights with little girls, neither. You want to fight, do it someplace else.

[phantom_envoy]

I'd correct you on that, but that line of thought is what leads to me winning half the time, so. Condescend away.

[She settles on the ground with her arms crossed.]

So if I'm not supposed to be defending the city from giant marauding poultry, what am I here for?

[emperor_penguin]

Got yer Persona yet?

[phantom_envoy]

The... brain parasite thing?

Nope. I don't really think I'm going to need it, either. I've got plenty of experience fighting all kinds of crazy things back home already.

[Phantom Girl gives a shrug.]

I don't run around in a costume fighting crime because I'm a lunatic, you know. ...Even if that's what most people think.

[emperor_penguin]

Eh, suit yourself. I ain't the market for a sidekick, though.

[phantom_envoy]

Who said anything about sidekicking? ...Sidekicks are so last millennium, anyway. We do teams nowadays. Intergalactic teams.

[emperor_penguin]

Tryin' to say I can handle the streets of Taurus on my own.

[phantom_envoy]

What is this, a territorial dispute? Since when did we get to claim entire blocks of city?

I can fight my monsters and you can fight yours. There's plenty to go a --

[And then there is a roar, followed by a gasp from Phantom Girl and an even louder gasp as three shards of ice go straight through her body from the back. ...Now on a direct beeline for the person she's facing.]

[emperor_penguin]

[Seasoned brawler though he is, having gone toe to toe with the Coral Cannibal and survived, there are still some things DeDeDe just isn't prepared for. Ice shards passing directly through the girl he's talking to and hitting him instead is on that list of things. Fortunately, his Velvet Room Persona happens to resist ice. It should, after all, considering who it's a phantasmal representation of.]

Oof!

[A loud grunt is all the wendigo receives for its efforts as the penguin king hefts his hammer and narrows his eyes, stepping around Phantom Girl. He points at the monster, and the visage of Old Man Scrooge twists into a sickly grin as the Persona pulls out a handful of gold coins, clattering and clinking as he passes them between his hands.]

It's fuckin' rude to interrupt, you overgrown snowman.

[At least for the moment, the wendigo seems to have forgotten about DeDeDe and Phantom Girl entirely. It's much more concerned with grooming its own fur and flexing its muscles so it can admire how big and strong it is.]

((OOC: He hit it with Delyte, so it's currently got Egoism status.))

Physical: Kick to the Face

[phantom_envoy]

Snowman?

So in this town, talking bluebirds are not monsters, but snowmen are. ...The lingo here gets kind of confusing.

[Phantom Girl seems none too worse for having had icicles going through her as she hovers in the air next to Dedede.]

You know, it's been a while. I've kind of missed this.

[And with that, she flits forward to roundhouse kick the Wendigo sharply across the jaw.]

[emperor_penguin]

You'll get used to it.

[He could finish this thing off in one hit if he wanted to with a lucky Mudoon, but why bother when it's already ignoring them anyway? Instead, DeDeDe has his Persona hit it with an Eiha. The poor wendigo takes its lumps, still concerned only with important self-admiration.]

Handy trick you got there. You a ghost or what?

[phantom_envoy]

My name --

[A grunt as she flicks off to the side to allow the dark spell to strike true.]

-- is Phantom Girl.

[This is followed up by her favorite trick as she flies straight through the Wendigo, emerges out the other side, grasps a horn and flies down into the ground. The beast topples immediately as she emerges from the floor again to stomp down hard on his torso.]

I'm Bgztlian. That's code for 'goes through things'.

[emperor_penguin]

[And while it's down, DeDeDe steps up to finish it off with a mighty swing of his hammer. He's strong enough to be able to swing it one-handed, and the built in jets in the back make sure it comes down hard. With a groan, the wendigo expires.]

...Well, that's that.

[Hefting the hammer again, he dusts off the head before slinging it back over his shoulder.]

Name's DeDeDe. Thanks for the help.

[phantom_envoy]

...Ewch.

[She turns intangible once more as... stuff explodes out from the wendigo's crushed skull before the whole carcass fades away entirely.]

Nice to meet you, Dedede.

...And no problem. I like to think I can take care of myself even without these brain whatevers.

[emperor_penguin]

[And since his Persona has Moneybags, the wendigo drops some Macca too. DeDeDe picks it up.]

Huh. Wonder what this is worth.

[He counts it out before tossing half over to Phantom Girl.]

Well, there's your take. Fair's fair. Might wanna at least consider the whole Persona thing, though. Never hurts to have an ace up your sleeve.

[phantom_envoy]

...

Did this thing just dissolve into alien currency or am I holding like, crystallized monster guts or something?

[Phantom Girl pockets the Macca anyway with an arched eyebrow.]

I'd consider it if I was sure I had one. I'm supposed to be under high stress or something, but that fight just now was... I dunno. Too easy?

[emperor_penguin]

Beats me. Looks like money, anyhow.

[So he pockets it.]

Looks like you need to find yourself a harder fight.

[phantom_envoy]

...Eh. I've heard if I stick around long enough, something will pop up eventually. I'm not sure whether or not that's something to be excited about, though.

[A small shrug because Phantom Girl lifts off a few feet into the air.]

I guess I can leave you to patrol 'your' territory. Yell if you need help.

[emperor_penguin]

Yeah, sure. You take care of yerself now, girlie.

[phantom_envoy]

Phantom Girl, c'mon. I'm not going to start calling you Dededoo or something, right?

[And with that parting remark, she drifts upwards into the sky.]
