Day 72 :: [OPEN]
Who: Everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 72
Where: The Skyway
What: Out on the Skyway is a farm. On that farm are supplies and plot coupons.
Format: action
Warnings: cows
[On day 72, whoever happens to be exploring the Skyway will come across a farm! It is rather large, with several overgrown fields, a huge barn, some chicken coops, and a farmhouse.
It is undisturbed for the moment, though it would be advisable to make any stop here quick. Monsters are never that far away.]
((OOC: There will be several different areas each character can explore and find things. Please choose only one area of the farm per character for your characters to participate in. Your characters can interact with anyone else in that particular area.
Teamwork may be needed to accomplish goals in this post.))

The food he ignores for the moment, instead going after the bird, turning it over slowly in his gloved hands, eventually stuffing it into one of his numerous large pockets. Finished with his gruesome task, he walks towards Rin, stopping a few feet away and staring at the half demon almost expectantly.
Kroenen had only recently been invited to Bastion, had met no one but Alucard, and when he saw so many people leaving the sanctuary, he had wanted to know for what purpose. Hunting and gathering, apparently. He had listened from around corners and behind closed doors throughout the last day or so and learned more than anyone might have told him on their own. Now he was intent on seeing things first hand, and along the way meeting those people he may very well be forced to endure for the rest of his likely very long days.
He says nothing, simply stares at Rin, curious about the child and its intentions.]

Turning around to look had her facing a pair of unfamiliar boots. Her heart was already racing from the gunshot that had come so close to her, but that just made her chest tighten in fear. They weren't in the Bastion, this wasn't a protected place, and the more she looked up the more she felt not just intimidated but threatened by this looming presence.
Swallowing hard, she rose slowly, blue eyes trained on her own reflection in those lenses. Her tail, still slightly bristled, twitched behind her back, and a small hand went for the recently crafted sword at her hip rather than the red silk-covered Kurikara on her back.]
no subject
And he is patiently awaiting Rin's next action.
When the half demon does little more than bristle and posture, the German gestures vaguely towards the field, then folds his hands behind his back in a standard 'at ease' position. He says nothing, does nothing, to indicate aggression. Merely watches and listens. ]
no subject
... what do you want?

There's someone very much in black over by Rin, and Duke doesn't recognize anything about the person. So slowly, the knight heads over and watches the one in black. Mostly because Duke can't figure out the tractor.
The stance looks military, and that has the effect of ensuring Duke is keeping the same. Not that it slips terribly often, but all the kids around makes it harder to stay in one. ]
... You know how to work one of those?
[ Duke is keeping attention on the black fellow, but the words are a little more directed at Rin. That tractor thing. ]
no subject
She had started to snarl, baring her sharp fangs with a hint of heat rippling off her body when Duke arrived, snapping her attention away from the man.]
... no.

She watched him from a distance, tail twitching erratically behind her, but her hand finally slipping away from the hilt of her blade.
The tractor started up with a mighty roar, it's engine thundering through the otherwise quiet field.
Well... he was helping, at least...]
no subject
Duke is just technologically incapable. The knight looks about at the field. ]
Well, this looks edible still, so maybe we should get off the field.
[ that... is what that machine does, right?]
no subject
Driving back and forth, doing a small circle and eventually puttering as close to the central farm as possible, the German finally climbs out of the seat, sets his hat on the steering wheel, dusts himself off - the indignity of farming in uniform, ugh - and goes in search of anything to hitch to the tractor and tow the food back to the Bastion.
He would have explained that a tractor was for tilling and towing, not for actually reaping, but he doubted anyone was interested in listening to him. The little girl certainly had a bit of a panic, after all.
Once he find's something suitable, be it trailer of no more than a mule cart, Kroenen returns to the field.
Sighing dramatically, feeling particularly belittled by the tasks before him, the SS officer reaches into his coat where the turnkey on his chest is concealed and cranks it several times. He then draws his twin bladed tonfa from his coat and spins them dramatically, testing the weight and feel before suddenly hacking away at the corn stalks, dropping ears of corn in his path, fully expecting someone -else- to pick them up after him. He wasn't about to do everything. ]
no subject
... c'mon.
[Rin motioned for Duke to follow, and started picking up the dropped corn.]

Yeah the knight isn't going to do more than turn and hold a hand out. ]
Get out of that tractor if you can, and hold tight if you can't!
[ If that horn is what the knight thinks it could be (some sort of monster? Dear goddess, the thing would be huge-) the knight is ready to launch a spell. ]
no subject
Spinning around at the sound of screeching, warping metal, the German throws both tonfa down to either side of himself, the blades sticking up in the ground and freeing his hands to draw his pistol in one smooth motion.
He swings his arm out and straight, growling at Rin unintelligibly, indicating she should duck, though he wastes no time pulling the trigger three times; there is a loud report - crack-crack-crack - bullets connecting on shots made purely from reflex, zipping past the girl and into the offending creature.
Only after the third shot is he able to register it isn't a complete creature - just part of one - making his head jerk to one side, cocking in confusion. What the blazes was he seeing? ]
no subject
[Come on, Skyway! They were having a nice day! ... random Nazi appearance not withstanding.
Rin caught the command and ducked down, throwing arms over her head. She watched over her arm as he fired at the horn, only to stop and... tilt his head at it.
... oh. That's not even the whole creature, is it?
Hell...]
Alright, my turn!
[She darted forward, yanking the sword on her back out, drawing out blue flames with it. If the thing was only part of an entire creature under the ground, that's where she was going to aim for, stabbing down near where the horn had broken through.]
no subject
no subject
[That leaves Rin just... there, sword stuck in the ground, still flaming and staring down at the hole.]
... h-hey! Get back here!

Staring at the monster that just ate a little girl, Kroenen is torn between his duty to protect those inhabitants of the new Eden, and his unwillingness to cross anything that might be Ogdru Jahad.
The uncertainty, mixed with a natural position as a follower instead of leader, forced his to turn his head to Duke, looking for answers and orders, or some guidance as to the etiquette of battle. ]
no subject
[ Crap. that. uh. That isn't good.
Duke flicks through several spell ideas - Pulling it up with Tempest or Havoc Gale doesn't seem like a good idea, its huge, the rest might be more of a target but its more of a weapon for the snake. Meteors are a bit too random. Same with Holy Rain.
Keeping it put might be a good idea, so red formula start working around her. ]
From the inside the light, come and burn before me! Crimson Flare!
[ Its a good thing that the knight put that bit of magic on Rin, right? Right.
Because that sure is a lot of fire being dumped on the snake. And sucked back up into the center of a large sphere when its done, but that is a lot of fire. ]
no subject
From in-between its large teeth, a certain half-demon may be visible. Rin was only chomped on, not swallowed.]
no subject
And guns.
Cursing silently to himself, the German again throws his tonfa down, draws his gun and takes a bead on the snake, gun weaving left and right, up and down as he focuses. Aims. Squeezes.
Four more rounds left, make them count.
BANG. BANG.
Right for the eyes. ]
no subject
It was disgusting in there, and it had done a good job of trying to chew on the fiery half demon in the few seconds it had before Duke's attack on it.]
SOME ONE GET ME OUTTA HERE!
no subject
[ It looked like there's enough room for this spell. Since the thing was just sitting there, maybe.... ]
Blade of light, clear the way! Blade Roll!
[ And then the knight runs right up to the snake, blade in hand but not ready to slash.
That's what the big glowing one that forms at abdomen height behind the knight is for. Especially after it spins a couple of times. ]
