10th Kill [Action]

[The sun is lowering in the sky as River Tam steps out of one of the many shops along the main avenue in Luceti, her eyes sharp and piercing, yet at the same time dully reflecting the ruddy light from the sun in her two shining orbs of bloodied crystal ( Read more... )

[Erim was sitting on the roof of house #2 bored stiff for the moment really because nothing was going on in the village to deal with and she's also just worried about Sanji and Nami who she knows are away from the house but she doesn't wish to go and bother them.

So she decides to go head to the village for a bit just to have something to do while she still keeps her mind on the houses.]

[River comes around the corner of a building, her sword dripping blood, her body covered in small wounds. As she sees Erim however, she stops, her eyes taking her in for a moment]

You know the other... It is irrelevant. [And just as suddenly as she stopped, she's moving again, with swift, graceful movements, she covers the distance between the two women, and leaps into the air, her blade swinging down to meet flesh]

[And from what Erim can see, there is definitely something off about this girl. She doesn't know her well, but the patterns of energy around her seem to be very abnormal for a human.

Best to deal with her swiftly so she can't harm anyone else here. Erim materializes her sword out of nowhere to block River's own sword before it can meet her "flesh" that is really energy disguised well.]

[As River's sword is blocked, her continued momentum pushes downwards from above, her leg shooting out towards her new opponents middle as she uses her arms to shove herself off the other woman's sword from where their two swords had met.]

[Erim quickly recovers from the kick to her gut, though more because she's not really human. If anything, it's going to give her some time to try and deal with this. Though she doesn't think it will help, she does have to try to talk the girl out of this action.]

It's not your time to die or mine, stop this now before you get hurt.

[Her answer is a swift step forward, and a slice down towards Erim's kneecap]

[She tries to move quickly backwards while at the same time looking to make sure there are no other villagers that would accidentally get caught up in her next spell.

She's not quite fast enough and does get hit though if River is paying attention, the wound doesn't really bleed like it would with a normal person and doesn't appear to do much to the death goddess.

But since there seems to be no one else in the range of the spell, she's going to use it. With the effect this place has on her magic, it shouldn't kill, but if something caused this, it should remove the effect fast.]

Destruction wave!

[And for a quick note, this spell basically would do a small amount of damage and if any magical means caused River to act this way, it would remove it. Since I'm guessing that's not the case, it will do light wounds, easily dealt with via a basic healing spell.]

[River's eyes focus in on the apparent lack of injury after her sword-blade made contact with her new opponent, her brain cranking through possibilities and thus causing her to be unaware of this... energy... coming towards her.

As it hits, she's knocked off her feet, her hand losing it's grip on her sword as she swiftly brings herself around in a neat cartwheel. Landing once again on her feet, hands held loosely in front of her.]

[And with that, it's confirmed this is no magical malady. And while the girl may be a threat, from her energy it doesn't look like a normal occurrence. And to be honest, there aren't any women of her description listed among the dangerous individuals either.

Best thing that could be done is to try and end this in a non-lethal manner and get her to someone who can deal with this sort of malady. A death goddess is not the person to be dealing with it.

Maybe the sleep spell? It doesn't tend to work against stronger monsters, but might work on a human. Can't hurt to try it at least since it's better than killing or injuring the girl further if she can help it. The spell is quickly cast.]

Fright!

[And yeah, that's the sleep spell. Spells in Lufia canon have weird names, I blame the translation.]

[She almost rolls her eyes at the apparent attempt at scaring her, I mean what's that gonna d- ...

River staggers. The spell hitting her hard, the already weakened state she was operating in was not holding up against whatever it was that had got her in it's grasp. The young woman staggers a moment, dropping to one knee, looking up at Erim with hurt and confusion written across her face. Then collapses onto the ground, her hand releasing it's bloodied grasp on her weapon]

[Erim sighs in relief. Good, the spell worked so maybe it will make sure the girl doesn't harm any others.

The goddess gently takes River in her arms and casts a spell to heal some of her wounds so there is no risk of bleeding to death and then teleports them both to the clinic. Hopefully there is someone who can be called upon to deal with this quickly because the spell won't last forever, maybe at most an hour if the girl isn't disturbed in the slightest.]

[River lies as still as stone, her face composed and her body as still as if carved from granite.]

[(From there I suppose we can have someone else take over or something, I suppose she should be added to the potentially dangerous peoples list or something... x_x I dunno. Contact me on AIM at Garoganite if you want?)]

[Yeah, once Erim finds someone who can deal with this better than she can, she'll let them take over.

But actually, not going to say she needs to be added to the dangerous people list right away. More needs to be found out, but for now until Erim finds someone to help with River's mental state, she's going to use that sleep spell to ensure River is no danger to anyone. At least it is harmless overall, far more harmless than a blow to the head.]

[(Alright, I'll watch your thread, and if you come up with a decision then just lemme know I s'pose~)]
