(8:53:40 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFCU68Gim3o
(8:53:55 PM): So then...
(8:54:09 PM): It's a rather quiet time of day right now
(8:54:44 PM): The Chalice is currently docked at a town in the middle of the Ruin, getting its anti-Ruin coating re-applied
(8:55:20 PM): Newcomers are getting splashed with water to make sure they aren't contiminated or are carriers for the nanomachines
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 8:55 pm
(8:55:22 PM): [and probably removing luger graffiti]
wyverncakes 8:55 pm
(8:55:32 PM): And one member of the Chalice is probably feeling really bummed out right now!
(8:55:34 PM): Still!
(8:55:39 PM): What's everyone doing to kill time?
Doc S 8:55 pm
(8:55:54 PM): Tsukasa's working his kitchen slaves. To the bone. As usual.
HyprKnux 1 8:56 pm
(8:56:11 PM): Click! Click! Flip! Click! Gen's busy trying to not be bored by... flipping switches. Too late.
Mister Giggles 8:56 pm
(8:56:19 PM): Casshern is putting his V-crested helmet on, while trying to talk to a certain glum member of the Chalice. "Someone said this makes me look like a Gundam. But... I'm not sure what that is."
Tengusaur 8:56 pm
(8:56:37 PM): Werter is finishing an inventory list for a new personal project of his, but only half-mindedly because he's wondering about the meeting with a mysterious man in the town earlier in the day.
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 8:56 pm
(8:56:44 PM): Resnick is buying tacky souvenirs for his friends. Michael Wilson will enjoy these dispensers of salt and pepper. They depict cowboys, an important symbol in his culture. he thinks
VJockey 8:57 pm
(8:57:03 PM): Mad: [Returned to the Chalice to lock herself inside the Maria. She was curled up in the pilot seat, begging and pleading to no one in particular that what the two said was lies.... but.... everything just wouldn't click the way it wanted to...]
EricOverbringer 8:57 pm
(8:57:35 PM): Hayato is overseeing the anti-Ruin coating application
Mister Giggles 8:57 pm
(8:57:52 PM): Casshern, seeing that Mad is already gone... blinks, and sits back down on his perch at the fountain.
wyverncakes 8:59 pm
(8:59:00 PM): Things drag on, needless to say. The town doesn't have enough in it to really let anyone do anything more exotic than simply survive... but anyone outside of the Chalice and wandering around might see a bit of commotion begin though!
HyprKnux 1 8:59 pm
(8:59:05 PM): Gen: "We done?!"
EricOverbringer 8:59 pm
(8:59:33 PM): Hayato, ever alert, notices that there's a bit of commotion beginning
wyverncakes 8:59 pm
(8:59:35 PM): From one of the "spraying stations" where newcomers arrive at, suddenly a few people can be seen running away in a panic... and then several more!
Tengusaur 8:59 pm
(8:59:39 PM): Prometheus is splattering in a pail of the coating, near the workers working on the ship. Seems he doesn't like bathing, just water.
Doc S 8:59 pm
(8:59:48 PM): Tsukasa goes over to the window and glances. Huh, well there's something bad...
Tengusaur 8:59 pm
(8:59:53 PM): *doesn't hate
Mister Giggles 8:59 pm
(8:59:57 PM): Casshern jumps up, looking at the entranceway, his mouth hanging upon a bit.
wyverncakes 9:00 pm
(9:00:19 PM): And soon it's almost as if everyone in the town is trying to escape from that little corner of the place! Bells, a rudimentary alert system, begin to ring...
HyprKnux 1 9:00 pm
(9:00:22 PM): And now Gen decides to take a peek...
VJockey 9:00 pm
(9:00:38 PM): Mad:...[barely shuffles in her seat.]...wh...whass going on?
Mister Giggles 9:00 pm
(9:00:40 PM): Casshern's still too amnesiac to realize what the hell this means, but he can tell it isn't good.
wyverncakes 9:00 pm
(9:00:53 PM): And eventually you all begin to see it as a half-rotted, human-sized machine begin to shamble out into the open!
wyverncakes 9:01 pm
(9:01:12 PM): Robot: "... Casshern..."
(9:01:24 PM): ".. kill Casshern... devour Casshern...!"
EricOverbringer 9:01 pm
(9:01:31 PM): Hayato: "Looks like a Ruin breach."
Tengusaur 9:01 pm
(9:01:32 PM): Werter hears the commotion outside. "Not again. Trouble really follows us everyone, doesn't it..." He quickyl goes to check it out, and probably regret it horrubly.
Doc S 9:01 pm
(9:01:37 PM): Tsukasa sighs heavily, and leaves his staff, promising pain if they decide to bail while he's out fighting it.
Mister Giggles 9:01 pm
(9:01:40 PM): Casshern... not realizing that's his name... just stares at the thing.
HyprKnux 1 9:01 pm
(9:01:58 PM): Gen: "...finally, just a bit of action!"
wyverncakes 9:02 pm
(9:02:01 PM): It's going in a somewhat directionless manner, but it seems fairly harmless for the most part...
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:02 pm
(9:02:02 PM): Resnick: Get back here, Merchant! I am going to buy these salt and pepper dispensers!
wyverncakes 9:02 pm
(9:02:05 PM): HOWEVER!
(9:02:34 PM): Before any of you can bother trying to move in, suddenly a loud and booming voice comes through a speaker!
Tengusaur 9:02 pm
(9:02:37 PM): Werter: "Oh great, a robot zombie..."
wyverncakes 9:03 pm
(9:03:09 PM): ???: "Well about goddamn fucking time! These dirt farmers get to see some goddamn action!"
wyverncakes 9:04 pm
(9:04:23 PM): And in moments, two robots suddenly come stomping out from a large garage. The first is an extremely round, almost ball-like giant robot... the latter is essentially a minotaur reimagined as a machine!
(9:05:03 PM): ??? 2: "And to all you women and Japs and aliens and everything on the Chalice... this is OUR territory!"
(9:05:09 PM): "We'll handle this all ourselves!"
HyprKnux 1 9:05 pm
(9:05:17 PM): Gen: "...Japs?!"
Mister Giggles 9:05 pm
(9:05:35 PM): Casshern's still staring, wide-eyed, at the Ruin Husk.
Doc S 9:05 pm
(9:05:37 PM): Tsukasa: Calm down Gen. They're blowing smoke, I'll bet.
EricOverbringer 9:05 pm
(9:05:46 PM): Hayato rolls his eyes. he wasn't planning on interferring anyways.
Tengusaur 9:05 pm
(9:05:51 PM): Werter: "Charming guys. Don't come to us crying for help when the enemies turn out to be too much for you."
VJockey 9:06 pm
(9:06:10 PM): Mad: [Felt tremendously sick upon hearing the voices... but.. slwoly flicked Maria's systems to life one by one...]
wyverncakes 9:06 pm
(9:06:18 PM): The two machines are quick to finally move in front of the semi-Ruin'd machine, and the minotaur machine suddenly slams down its axe into the ground in front of it!
HyprKnux 1 9:06 pm
(9:06:24 PM): Gen: "Mmmph. I'll show them either way..."
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:06 pm
(9:06:31 PM): Resnick: We shall see about that, freebirths. [He heads back to the hangar at a run anyway.]
wyverncakes 9:07 pm
(9:07:14 PM): ??? 2: "Alright then you piece of scrap tin... any last words?"
EricOverbringer 9:07 pm
(9:07:42 PM): Hayato: "Let them have their blustering. We'll be long gone this time tomorrow."
(9:07:51 PM): "I doubt I could do much worse to them than forcing them to live here."
wyverncakes 9:07 pm
(9:07:54 PM): The robot however, only lurches forward. Though now it seems to be focused on something... specifically a man in white off near a fountain!
(9:08:09 PM): "... Casshern... whoever eats him will-"
wyverncakes 9:08 pm
(9:08:31 PM): ??? 2: "BZZZT! TALKING TO YOU, SARDINE CAN!"
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:08 pm
(9:08:34 PM): Resnick: When they fail this will become our responsibility though...
(9:08:47 PM): Resnick: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFCU68Gim3o ]
EricOverbringer 9:09 pm
(9:09:39 PM): "If they can't handle it, I guess we should stop the town from dying."
wyverncakes 9:09 pm
(9:09:42 PM): The axe suddenly swings up, tearing half the robot apart in an instant, and then the fat machine thrusts out its fingers as a dazzling beamspam tears through it in an instant! What little threat was there is gone, and the two men are whooping and hollaring in victory!
Mister Giggles 9:09 pm
(9:09:57 PM): Casshern: ... oh no...
HyprKnux 1 9:10 pm
(9:10:14 PM): Gen: "...that's no victory..."
wyverncakes 9:10 pm
(9:10:15 PM): ... However, that celebrating dies almost immediately! Those beams had kept going forward even after destroying the robot...
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:10 pm
(9:10:35 PM): Resnick: Exactly what I was thinking. In fact I say we shove them aside and take the glory for ourselves.
wyverncakes 9:10 pm
(9:10:35 PM): ... And incidentally blown open a massive hole in the dome of the city.
(9:10:51 PM): And outside? Dozens, if not hundreds of more ruined robots, now suddenly lurching forward!
Tengusaur 9:11 pm
(9:11:04 PM): Werter: "Damn, they're almost as bad for collateral damage as us."
EricOverbringer 9:11 pm
(9:11:08 PM): Hayato: "Shit."
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:11 pm
(9:11:21 PM): Resnick: "Us"? Speak for yourself, Werter.
HyprKnux 1 9:11 pm
(9:11:24 PM): Gen: "...that's not good..."
wyverncakes 9:11 pm
(9:11:26 PM): Some are in better condition for fighting than the one that came in before, but they all repeat the same mantra about killing and devouring this "Casshern"...
Mister Giggles 9:11 pm
(9:11:38 PM): Casshern is staring at the robots. Staring... staring... and then...
Doc S 9:11 pm
(9:11:42 PM): Tsukasa: Looks like dinner is being postponed.
wyverncakes 9:11 pm
(9:11:44 PM): Ayame: "... Shit! Anyone who's in position... launch!"
Tengusaur 9:11 pm
(9:11:49 PM): Werter: "And that's really not good! Prometheus, come on here!" He pulls the small robot out of his weird bath.
EricOverbringer 9:12 pm
(9:12:12 PM): "Get some colony breach grenades in there. I'll go hold them off until they do!"
wyverncakes 9:12 pm
(9:12:15 PM): "If they did that much overkill against one robot the size of a human... well, Werter you weren't far off with your assessment."
VJockey 9:12 pm
(9:12:22 PM): Mad:...!!!! [Now THAT snapped her out of her funk right there.] "oh...FUCK!!" [Finishes the rest of Maria's start up in a hurry and sends her out of the Chalice] "I'm on my way!!" [Funny...Mad would've snarked at Ayame if she could.. but...right now she was just a little out of it...]
Doc S 9:12 pm
(9:12:26 PM): Tsukasa: Come on, Gentarou. We'll need some small presence there. Henshin.
wyverncakes 9:12 pm
(9:12:27 PM): "And for once, let's try to not wreck this place in the process!"
HyprKnux 1 9:12 pm
(9:12:42 PM): Gen: "Right!" [3, 2, 1!] "HENSHIN!"
EricOverbringer 9:12 pm
(9:12:51 PM): Hayato glances around the hangar until his eyes come to stop on the Black Getter. Surely Ryoma wouldn't mind...
Tengusaur 9:12 pm
(9:12:59 PM): Werter: "Don't worry, Prometheus is really good at actually defending things. Moving out!"
HyprKnux 1 9:13 pm
(9:13:19 PM): Ryouma's too busying punching the pain out of the gunshot wound. He won't mind for now.
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:13 pm
(9:13:31 PM): Resnick: Launching. Ordering the Elementals to decontaminate, but do not count on backup any time soon.
Mister Giggles 9:13 pm
(9:13:35 PM): Casshern's expression seems blank all of a sudden. And then he hears their mantra. About killing him. And heating him. He's staring at the robots, not moving. Whens suddenly... a facemask closes. And his eyes light up bright blue.
(9:13:54 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8UZ7QzkMRw&feature=share&list=PL636422BF4A3A736D
EricOverbringer 9:13 pm
(9:13:54 PM): Black Getter deploys
Doc S 9:14 pm
(9:14:09 PM): Tsukasa is out there on the cycle.
ultimatesalsa has been invited. 9:14 pm
wyverncakes 9:14 pm
(9:14:22 PM): (Casshern?)
ultimatesalsa has entered the room. 9:14 pm
wyverncakes 9:14 pm
(9:14:50 PM): (NPC lineup: Ruin'd robots x 234, Fatboy, Man 'o Taur
(9:14:51 PM): )
Mister Giggles 9:14 pm
(9:14:54 PM): And just like that. The man who was standing at the fountain seemingly disappears. He's darting forward so fast most tracking computers will likely register him as a projectice instead of a unit. He inadvertently tears a hole right through the minataur robot, making a beeline for that massive horde of robots.
EricOverbringer 9:15 pm
(9:15:14 PM): Hayato: "Getter-1, eh?
wyverncakes 9:15 pm
(9:15:22 PM): (Lineup: Casshern, Mad, Hayato, Resnick, Werter, Gen, Tsukasa)
Tengusaur 9:15 pm
(9:15:32 PM): Prometheus has already grown to giant size, and Werter heads into the direction of the incoming zombie robots quickly.
TenebraeLunaXIII has entered the room. 9:15 pm
HyprKnux 1 9:16 pm
(9:16:18 PM): As soon as Gentarou's henshined into Fourze, he quickly swaps in the Clear Drill Switch given to him by Amazon, turning to Rocket Drill States. "UCHUUU KITAAAAAAAAA!"
Tengusaur 9:16 pm
(9:16:18 PM): Werter: "Huh, that not-Rider is really fast."
Doc S 9:16 pm
(9:16:47 PM): Tsukasa basically draws his sword. Wait for it...
wyverncakes 9:17 pm
(9:17:05 PM): [Casshern] Your bum-rush lets you blow through the unsuspecting Man 'o Taur... and you are soon in the midst of full-blown ripping and tearing. This isn't even a fight so much as it is a slaughter as you begin to just utterly dismantle everything in front of you... but suddenly the Man 'o Taur looms over you, the damage done to it already being repaired!
(9:17:15 PM): ???: "Tch... you fucking..."
(9:18:01 PM): "Well holy shit, when did a fucker like you get so prim and clean in this place?!? It definitely wasn't by following the rules and sucking our cocks as much as you should, that's for sure!"
(9:18:48 PM): [Casshern] And with that, the machine's massive axe comes swinging down at an angle. And it's fast... extrodinarily fast! Not only that, also angled so that even if it whiffs, it'll just tear through a nearby house!
EricOverbringer 9:18 pm
(9:18:49 PM): In his cockpit, Hayato grins as he listens to these men dig their own graves deeper and deeper.
wyverncakes 9:18 pm
(9:18:54 PM): (React: Casshern)
Tengusaur 9:18 pm
(9:18:59 PM): Werter: "I don't think I care much that guy got hit by friendly fire."
VJockey 9:19 pm
(9:19:03 PM): #
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:14 PM): (Approved)
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:19 pm
(9:19:55 PM): Resnick: Hayato Jin, I am turning off their circuit. Let me know if these surats say anything worth listening to, quiaff?
EricOverbringer 9:20 pm
(9:20:18 PM): "You probably won't be missing much"
VJockey 9:21 pm
(9:21:02 PM): Mad: *The Maria was already on the move towards their general area, after all they WERE in front of the oncoming robot horde... but seeing what was going on between Casshern, the Man 'O Taur and more importantly that HOUSE over yonder - Mad was pushing Maria's engines to full power to slam into the descending arm and hopefully knock that axe away!+
wyverncakes 9:21 pm
(9:21:03 PM): (Mad can act after doing this support defend, Hayato can also act)
EricOverbringer 9:21 pm
(9:21:12 PM): *The Black Getter drops from the Chalice's docking bay, but stops it's descent before it hits the ground and flies towards the breach. It wraps its tattered cloak around it, dispersing a Getter Beam into a spray of smaller blasts that rain down over the Ruined Robots like a deadly rain.+
wyverncakes 9:25 pm
(9:25:05 PM): [Mad] Maria hurtles forward very, very quickly... this was a mobile suit meant for blitzing after all, and it crashes into the Man 'O Taur's arm just in time to stop the destruction of the home... unfortunately the machine's shoulder crumples a little from the impact! "... Well shit, aren't you all just a bunch of fucking lowlives getting in the way of our living!" And with its other arm the Man 'O Taur punches Maria hard and knocks it to the ground!
(9:26:20 PM): [Hayato] Aaaand your beamspam does wonders against the slow, weak robots who are very, very out of their league here. However, it catches the attention of Fatboy as its pilot opens up a channel to you! "Finch is right... you fucking Water Closet fuckfaces butting your heads into this when we told you to sit your pansy asses down and leave it to us..." And Fatboy suddenly rolls up into a tight little ball and shoots forward at Black Getter, intending to bowl it completely over!
(9:26:22 PM): (React: Hayato)
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:26 pm
(9:26:23 PM): Resnick: [He follows Hayato, and lets loose a half flight of LRMs, just to finish what Hayato started. They pour into the hole.] If we can pile the bodies of those things up at the breach...[He notices Mad as a green blip on his sensors.] Pup, what are you doing? Do you need assistance?
(9:26:38 PM): #
EricOverbringer 9:27 pm
(9:27:06 PM): (I got this)
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:27 pm
(9:27:29 PM): [k]
Tengusaur 9:27 pm
(9:27:34 PM): Werter: "Was zum der Teufel. They're attacking on purpose. Some defenders of this place."
EricOverbringer 9:28 pm
(9:28:07 PM): *Hayato's used to fights going far faster than this one. He brings Black Getter's Drill arm around and spins it up to full speed, letting the Fatboy impale himself if he doesn't change course.+
(9:28:46 PM): Hayato: "Looks like there's more reasons than the ruin the rest of the world just does it's best to ignore this place."
VJockey 9:28 pm
(9:28:48 PM): Mad: Aaah!! [She slammed into her chair hard as the Mobile Suit crashed, shaking her head rapidly to clear the cobwebs...] "Shut the fuck up you rat-bastard!! You're the lowlife here!" [This was an open channel. Anyone who can hear this conversation probably will.] "Can't you morons even watch where you're fighting?!" *She rolls Maria back up on its hoverjets and grabs its Bazooka, holding it threateningly at the Man O' Taur with her trigger finger realy to tug at moment's notice.+
wyverncakes 9:28 pm
(9:28:54 PM): (Werter, Resnick)
Tengusaur 9:31 pm
(9:31:14 PM): * As much as Werter would like to kick one of those assholes in the butt, the incoming horde of Ruin-infected robots kinda takes precedent. Prometheus creates two large serrated wheels of solidified plasma and sends them spinning towards the horde, to thin them out a little.+
Mister Giggles 9:32 pm
(9:32:04 PM): @ Promethius
wyverncakes 9:33 pm
(9:33:22 PM): [Hayato] Hayato, Fatboy doesn't stop at all as it rolls forward, in fact its pilot just laughs in amusement as that drill is thrust out! And when it impales Fatboy, it does ground the machine to a halt... but that doesn't stop it from then just reaching out and punching the Black Getter away! "Heh... thinking you can just pull that crap on us?" And in fact, Fatboy's already repairing itself... just like the Man O' Taur!
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:34 pm
(9:34:04 PM): Resnick: Self repair mechanisms...Just like the Ares Gear! Mad, are you seeing this?
EricOverbringer 9:34 pm
(9:34:06 PM): Hayato goes flying. "Rgh! What the hell are those things made of!?"
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:13 PM): [Mad] Maria does manage to get back up, but Rigger and Finch just laugh hysterically when you say that! "Why the fuck should we?!? These places are like a dime a dozen. If this one goes to hell we'll just go to another!" And for the matter, they're not even responding to your position, Mad. You're just a scared girl pointing a gun at them, probably too afraid to shoot.
HyprKnux 1 9:35 pm
(9:35:17 PM): Gen: "They heal...?" Uh-oh. Watch out, Gen's thinking!
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:34 PM): [Casshern's support is approved]
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:36 pm
(9:36:28 PM): Resnick: [As Fatboy turns to punch Black Getter, he moves to its back. A full volley of LRM's bloom from Prowler's shoulders, supported by the staccato stutter of a large pulse laser. He activates his jump jets to jump backwards, not wanting to get charged into.]
HyprKnux 1 9:37 pm
(9:37:04 PM): And Gen looks at the Ruin-infected robots. "And they're infected..."
Doc S 9:37 pm
(9:37:20 PM): Tsukasa: You have an idea?
EricOverbringer 9:37 pm
(9:37:45 PM): Hayato: "Fine, if these hillbillies want to pretend they're a threat, I'll play along."
Mister Giggles 9:37 pm
(9:37:49 PM): *Despite the attack on Casshern being knocked wildly off course, Casshern's berserk protocol registered the attack on him as hostile, marking the Man o'Taur as an enemy from here on out. However, all those robots chanting about killing and eating him is more important for now. With the rolling plasma incoming, Casshern seems to teleport again, flipping back over a shambling robot. Suddenly, a white hand shoves its way through the chassis of the robot, facing towards team. The hand then grabs the internal components of the robot on the way back out, and using them as a lasso, throws the rather large robot right into the path of the plasma.+
HyprKnux 1 9:38 pm
(9:38:10 PM): Gen: "Yeah! We need to damage them long enough so we can throw one of those robots into them! Maybe we can infect them with it! Risky, I know, nut..."
VJockey 9:38 pm
(9:38:35 PM): Mad: [Correction. A scared and CONFUSED girl! The carefully prepared grip she believed she had on that trigger was starting to tremble badly.] "These people believed in you to fucking PROTECT THEM!" [There were so many other things she wanted to shout...] "What kind of fucking monsters are you?!"
Doc S 9:38 pm
(9:38:41 PM): Tsukasa thought for a moment. "We'd have to be fast. Very fast."
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:57 PM): [Resnick] Fatboy gets pummeled by those missiles... causing it to get knocked forward and start rolling again... and incidentally cutting Rigger off mid-laugh as well! And at THAT point he suddenly stops and the machine turns around! "Hey... you fucking let me grandstand when I'm fucking grandstanding!" Fatboy suddenly deploys a number of strange metallic poles and suddenly slams them into the ground... and at once the battlefield is rocked by vibrations... vibrations which further upset the dome and begin to cause huge chunks of the roof to begin falling on the Prowler!
(9:39:00 PM): (React: Resnick)
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:39 pm
(9:39:25 PM): Resnick: Does that not risk spreading the Ruin further, into the town?
Tengusaur 9:39 pm
(9:39:32 PM): # Resnick
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:39 pm
(9:39:35 PM): [whoops]
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:39 pm
(9:39:47 PM): [lagged for a sec]
HyprKnux 1 9:40 pm
(9:40:35 PM): Gen: "If we're fast enough, it won't!" He looks back to Tsukasa. "...you got an idea on how to get that fast?"
wyverncakes 9:40 pm
(9:40:49 PM): [Werter and Casshern] Werter's buzz-saws do wonders tearing through dozens of the Ruin'd machines, including several that were making a break for Casshern... and Casshern's brutal add-on to the assault just increases the body count from all this!
(9:41:03 PM): (Tsukasa, Gen)
Doc S 9:41 pm
(9:41:20 PM): Tsukasa seemed to smirk a little as he held up Kabuto's card. "They don't call him the Lord of Speed for nothing."
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:41 pm
(9:41:22 PM): Resnick: [He hits the jump jets again, rocketing to the side and barely managing to avoid a building.] Grandstanding is for the victorious, freebirth. [As he comes around the other side of the building, he looks to line up shots on those poles with his lasers...]
wyverncakes 9:41 pm
(9:41:39 PM): Finch: "... And so it's you in that Zeon piece of crap! Come back here with a girly load of shit with a dress... well at least you know your place!"
wyverncakes 9:41 pm
(9:41:47 PM): (Approved)
Tengusaur 9:41 pm
(9:41:54 PM): Werter: "Are you doing fine, small guy?"
wyverncakes 9:41 pm
(9:41:59 PM): (Approved defend of Resnick, I mean)
Doc S 9:42 pm
(9:42:12 PM): Tsukasa dusted his hands off as he changed to Kabuto. "Gen, make a hole. I'll be right behind you."
HyprKnux 1 9:42 pm
(9:42:33 PM): And Gen can't help but grin a little himself. "I'll get you the opening!" *With that, the Rocket Drill roars to life, racing towards the Man-O-Taur, intending on busting through him!+
wyverncakes 9:42 pm
(9:42:46 PM): (Resnick: +?_
Mister Giggles 9:42 pm
(9:42:49 PM): Casshern does not respond to Werter.
wyverncakes 9:42 pm
(9:42:52 PM): ^+)
Tengusaur 9:42 pm
(9:42:55 PM): * Seeing that Resnick is under attack, Werter raises one of Prometheus' hands to create a green force field that should at least slow down the falling pieces of rubble. "Damnit! Stop breaking the town, idiots!"
Doc S 9:42 pm
(9:42:55 PM): @Gen
Tengusaur 9:43 pm
(9:43:01 PM): +
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:43 pm
(9:43:01 PM): [oh, yeah, +]
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:44 pm
(9:44:08 PM): Resnick: My thanks, Werter. These freebirths insist on fighting in here, it seems...You in the fat mech, why not meet your death outside instead, where you will at least not harm the infrastructure?
VJockey 9:44 pm
(9:44:12 PM): Mad: !! [Another punch to the feels. She was trembling even more now, Maria hovering backwards slightly-. She grits her teeth though...] "This 'Zeon piece of shit'? It's taken on Invaders, Festum and who knows how much other crap the universe's thrown at it! All of them a lot less slimy than you assholes!"
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:11 PM): [Werter and Resnick] The Prowler does manage to weave through most of those falling chunks, and Werter's barrier does help with it! But just as you manage to peg one of the poles and blow it out, one chance bit of rubble clips the Prowler, causing it to spin out and crash into the ground in an ugly manner. Systems are okay for the most part, but you're a bit banged up on one side now!
(9:45:23 PM): (Support attack approved)
Doc S 9:45 pm
(9:45:25 PM): (question. are there visible joints on the two stooges? on their mecha I mean)
wyverncakes 9:46 pm
(9:46:04 PM): (Yes. Quite a few.)
EricOverbringer 9:46 pm
(9:46:47 PM): Black Getter helps the Prowler get back to its feet
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:47 pm
(9:47:11 PM): Resnick: [lots of cursing in Russian, then he remembers to turn the town "defenders" back on in his comms] My thanks, Werter...These freebirths insist on fighting in here. [to Mad] Can you hear me, pup? Do you know them?
wyverncakes 9:47 pm
(9:47:15 PM): [Gen] You hurtle towards the Man O' Taur, but the pilot's already backpedaling away... and spinning his axe FAST! Fast enough to suddenly produce a gale-force wind to start pushing you back and blow apart a house in the process!! (Continue/React, Gen)
Doc S 9:47 pm
(9:47:18 PM): *As Gen did that, Tsukasa measured out his movements. Two hundred steps to the opponents, thirty to the Ruin Mecha. Knowing this would be interesting, he decided to make his move. Zooming forward in a split second burst, he grabbed a Ruin enemy and was right there when Gen burst through, shoving the Ruin machine into it! And then he's retreating to the Chalice for a sec.+
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:47 pm
(9:47:24 PM): Resnick: And you too, Hayato Jin
wyverncakes 9:48 pm
(9:48:03 PM): (Gen didn't burst through... you might want to adjust that action post)
Doc S 9:48 pm
(9:48:23 PM): *Waiting for Gen to burst through+
VJockey 9:48 pm
(9:48:48 PM): Mad:... [She's doing her best to remain calm here... and its a losing battle.] "These Bastards.... they're my father's teammates... they're nothing like what he told me.... " [And that vicious question, what ELSE did he lie to her about.]
HyprKnux 1 9:49 pm
(9:49:02 PM): Gen: "Gehh... I don't think so!" *and Gen's quick to swap out the Clear Drill for Super-1 to keep flying as Rocket States "This is it! TAKE THIS! THE GIFT FROM MY BELOVED!" And he's going to go FAST+
wyverncakes 9:49 pm
(9:49:24 PM): Finch: "Of course not! We're loads more kickass than Darren would ever admit! Doing that would make him look even more shitty than the conman he actually was!"
VJockey 9:50 pm
(9:50:09 PM): Mad: [Stab. Stab stab. To Mad's heart over and over and over again.]
wyverncakes 9:50 pm
(9:50:10 PM): [Gen] Aaaand Finch begins to laugh in amusement at all of this... right before suddenly Fourze BLASTS through the Man O' Taur breaking its axe in half at the center! "What the... You fucking asshole!"
(9:50:17 PM): (Alright, now Tsukasa can continue)
lionel boyd bokanon johnson 9:50 pm
(9:50:28 PM): Resnick: Then we will keep them alive to take as bondsmen. Remain calm, pup. A Warrior does not lose their temper so easily. They are trying to goad you to make up for their lack of skill. [He's so one to talk about that.]
Doc S 9:50 pm
(9:50:40 PM): *And shove. The Ruin enemy gets shoved and crammed in the hole.+ "Have a gift." And Tsukasa is out of there.
Tengusaur 9:50 pm
(9:50:46 PM): Werter: "He's right about the 'ass' part, at least."
wyverncakes 9:51 pm
(9:51:10 PM): [Casshern]
(9:51:14 PM): ^ (Casshern)
(9:52:44 PM): [Tsukasa] You do leave that Ruin'd robot right inside of the Man 'O Taur... but this just causes Finch to resume his laughter. "Oh wait... this is... this is hilarious!" And the machine then just RIPES into itself, pulling out the robot before crushing it instantly, the Man 'O Taur already well on its way to repairing itself!
HyprKnux 1 9:53 pm
(9:53:04 PM): Gen: "...crud..."
wyverncakes 9:53 pm
(9:53:12 PM): Rigger: "You actually thought... DAMN do you know anything about the Ruin at all, or is it all tofu and rice for you, Ching Chong?"
Doc S 9:53 pm
(9:53:15 PM): Tsukasa: It was worth a try. Now I get serious.
Mister Giggles 9:53 pm
(9:53:29 PM): *The horde of shambling Ruined robots, despite being attacked by the White Chalice crew, have mostly been keeping to their target. Casshern, likewise, has kept his eyes on the (metaphorical, in this case) ball. His eyes glowing blue, Casshern launches himself at a robot pretty damn close to Mad, who, in her already rather fragile state... now has a front row view of THIS.
HyprKnux 1 9:53 pm
(9:53:35 PM): Gen: "...why you...!"
wyverncakes 9:53 pm
(9:53:41 PM): Finch: "Our machines fix themselves! The Ruin's got shit on us!"
