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.))

[ Regardless of the threat to himself, Kroenen dashes forward on Duke's heels, twists the key on his chest twice and kicks off the ground, leaping high enough to meet Rin mid-fall, long arms curling under the girl's form and crushing her to his chest. He hits the ground feet first, curling protectively around her as he barrel rolls, coming to a dramatic skidding halt on one knee and foot.

No time for pleasantries, he rises smoothly to his feet and sets her down gingerly before nodding once in apology and retreating to get his weapons and, more importantly, his hat. ]

[Yes! She was free! She was--

Falling.

Luckily she didn't fall far, and she didn't even really have a chance to scream before her decent was suddenly stopped. The catch was a bit jarring, but the fact that she was safe was far more important.

Back on her feet, she stared at the man in slight confusion, wondering why he went to so much trouble to save her. Maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought... even if he still didn't give her the best feeling.

All that aside, though, she was soaked in very disgusting spit, clothes torn and a lot of minor scratches over her arms and legs. Gross.]

Ughh...
Where'd it go?!

I don't know, but keeping moving would be a good idea, I think.

[ Duke is holding that sword ready, looking about. ]

Do we just want to leave, or do we want to kill it?

[ Because that indicates what they ought to do from then on. ]

[ Another silent curse as the German grabs his tonfa and rummages about the debris for his hat, setting it tight on his head. He knew what -he- wanted to do. He wanted the damned thing dead. It wasn't Ogdru Jahad. There was no awe in its presence. It wasn't even large enough to be one and he felt a fool for believing it possible at all. Rasputin would have laughed him into a shameful slouch.

Casting his gaze about and keeping his feet moving, the German heads back to Duke's side and lifts his tonfa, crossing them in the air for emphasis, showing that he was all for killing the beast. The people of new Eden - or the Bastion, as they called it - could only benefit from that food. The surplus would take the pressure off the currently growing crops and some could be dried and stored for later planting. Leaving -all- of it behind was unacceptable.

If they didn't kill the beast, they needed to grab as much food as possible upon retreat. ]

I don't think we're gonna kill it that easy...

[Rin stabbed that thing from inside it's mouth and she barely made a dent with her sword. She can't imagine how tough it's outer hide is.]

I don't like runnin' from a fight, but I feel gross and I really don't recommend anyone goin' in that thing's mouth again. I say we grab what we can and run for it.

I never thought it was going down easy.

[ The knight can't tell if pacing is going to help or not, but Duke really thinks they should be moving while having their conversation. ]

... If we run around until it pops up, I can trap it in place for a little bit, hopefully do some more damage, and then we can run with what we can stuff our arms full of before it ducks back underground.

[ The German nods once, pointing to Rin, then the cart he'd intended for the tractor, then the crops. If she could survive the beast chomping her, and wield the sword in its mouth, she was no ordinary girl. She was strong. And that meant capable of gathering the goods while he and the effeminate man preoccupied the monster.
So far as Kroenen was concerned, it was an excellent idea. Really, if he had to be honest, he was very agitated and most interested in killing the creature and making himself a smart new leather outfit.
For now, he would follow Duke's lead, allow the ladyfaced man to sling spells and then lunge with his tonfa. ]

[Rin starts for the cart, but stops, holding a hand up as she listens intently.]

... I think it's gone. I can't hear anythin' anymore.

[But she didn't want to wait around to find out.]

Right, let's just... grab what we can and get the fuck outta here.

[Sword going back to it's case and flames dousing, she bolted for the cart, grabbing the handle and hefting it up. She was going to pull it along when they snagged whatever was salvageable in the wrecked field.]

... That works.

[ "Get out of here before it comes back, with friends or alone" is the idea that the knight has, so another sword goes back to free hands, and the knight is looking for corn that wasn't accidentally killed by those spells earlier. ]

[ A sharp nod, and Kroenen turns, heading back to the crops. He wastes little time or effort now, unwilling to further endanger the others when their decision was made. If they wanted to flee, it was more sensible than awaiting combat with the unknown.

Tonfa flash rapidly as he cuts a segment of beans and peppers, then rushes to assist Duke with the collecting. He took more beans than corn, since they were more nutritious and the state of the colony required fast growing, healthy crops more than anything.

As the cart fills, he eventually waves a hand, indicating they should probably leave. Immediately. ]

[Once she gets the hand wave, Rin braces herself, pulling in all of her demonic strength. With a grunt and a powerful yell, she started forward, pulling the cart along like a creature ten times her size.]
