12th oath of moment: Gauntlet Run. Backdated over the course of this weekend

[lunawolves10th]

[It began, as many things do with Garviel, with an Oath. In this case an oath to keep Merem from feeding on the blood of drones for 3 days. Unlike every other oath he has made since he came to mayfield, Garviel is having a truly difficult time keeping it. Because the monster is -fast- Fast enough to outrun bullets. Even a transhuman in speed-

4 - OH OH! I want sprinklers too

[hontobakabaka]

[Staring at the dripping space marines from her porch she shakes her head]

"Sit down for a minute and I'll turn off the sprinkler."

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel kneels for a moment, cutting a divot into the ground with his weight.]

[hontobakabaka]

"You don't look very well."

[She turns off the water]

[lunawolves10th]

I endure.

[He rises, slowly.]

Action 6

[boostedfailure]

[Watching the beat up killbot/man walk by Michael shakes his head]

"Woah there, your power suit is making really nasty sounds there. You keep riding it like that and you're going to to be down to being just a... Frighteningly huge person."

[lunawolves10th]

I would prefer to lose it than let one more innocent die.

[boostedfailure]

"If you loose it, you won't be able to help a lot of people. Right?"

[lunawolves10th]

...

There is some truth in what you say, yes.

[bitemescumbag]

[Yuri's fallen in line next to Garviel, keeping pace with him and eyeing him critically for a few moments before speaking his conclusion aloud.]

"Y'know, you look like shit. And that's just your fancy (well, not so fancy now...) -- Your armor. Everything okay there, humongous?"

[bitemescumbag]

(( ... Swear I put Action 6 as the subject there. Apparently not! My apologies. ))

[lunawolves10th]

I will endure.

[He halts for a moment, looking to Yuri.]

I spoke with your friend.... in other circumstances, I might ask for certain explanations from you.

[He pauses, taking a long, painful breath.]

[bitemescumbag]

Endure for how long? Take a minute to breathe, man.

[Yuri puts a hand on his hip, red eyes boring into the helmet as he looks upward.]

Dunno what I'd need to explain to you, but if it'll keep ya from making yourself drop dead for a while I guess I can deal with it.

4; playground

[strike_you_out]

[As Garviel drops to his knee to rest, he may eventually become aware of an added weight on his back as if something small has climbed aboard (or maybe he doesn't notice it at all; the weight of a 90 pound kid might be pretty negligible).

Slugger, after following the armored giant for a good two hours and sensing his possible need for a "break", has found this opportunity too good to pass up. Until now, Garviel had been too tall to effectively hit with a baseball bat. But now that his target has dropped to a crouch, Slugger clamors up the peak of his back as if conquering a small mountain. After all, Garviel is much more interesting than the other playground equipment in the schoolyard.]

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel grunts as someone gets on his weakest point, the fusion backpack that provides motive energy to his armor.]

What the...

[strike_you_out]

[Currently, Slugger is using said fusion pack to steady himself, unaware of what it is or its vulnerability. From where he's kneeling just behind the pack, his target's head is within good striking distance. And, so long as the man remains relatively still, Slugger will raise his warped baseball bat in both hands... and bring it down over Garviel's head.]

[lunawolves10th]

[Clang!]

[Garviel straightens. Slugger just sent him home, momentarily. He's now riding a droned Garviel. Whether or not this is considered a break is up to slugger, though.]

Action 6

[forgottenshiki]

You look like a mess. Did something happen already?

[lunawolves10th]

Yes. It is unsafe to be near me at the moment. I suggest you get clear.

[forgottenshiki]

No need to tell me that. You look like you're about to fall anytime now. What are you in a hurry for anyway?

[lunawolves10th]

A matter of significant import, involving oaths and a point of philosophy.
