Where: Everywhere
When: Day 528 (night) through Day 529

[Tokyo-F is still going haywire, though things seem to maybe?? be getting their shit together???? after that awful Go Fish game.

Still, a storm blowing in isn't helping matters very much—especially since the storm seems to be more than a little haywire itself.

Some areas might be raining cats and dogs, while two steps away it's snowing gently. Can you dodge the pockets of bad weather to stay warm and dry?

Some areas might be raining cats and dogs...in plushie form. How good is your umbrella against stuffed animals? What about glittery purple rain, or snowflakes the size of your head?

And don't forget the wind. Some of the smaller creatures that have appeared throughout the city are getting tossed hopelessly about—possibly right into your face. Can you dodge your way to somewhere safe(r) before some slime in unwilling flight smacks you with an extra side effect or two?

At least everyone's still got their mixed-up powers to help keep them safe...]

[OOC: Mingle time! The general hook is that a big old storm has blown in and it's making all the ways Tokyo-F is hecked up, well, worse. I've written up some examples, but everyone is free to make up their own bad weather (just keep the event guidelines in mind!). You can also only run into good weather if you're not interested in playing with storm effects.

Otherwise, this post is open to whatever shenanigans you're up for. Game status effects, random event status effects, more unitswap shenanigans... Tokyo-F is your (fucked-up) oyster.]

[ in the middle of the madness is a small pink godzilla getting into a slap fight with a hydro slime. he's positively ineffective against it, especially in the rain, because each swipe is more or less negated as the slime absorbs the water all around it. ] Rawr rawr! [ die die. ]

[ enjoy the, uh, spectacle. ]

[ he's going to need a hand though, because the slime's patience is wearing thin. maybe you'll even encounter kaiju stuck in the slime as it bounces along mindlessly! HELP!! ]

[paradiseunboxed]

[soaked to the skin after a dashing through a patch of heavy rain. he's currently dressed in a bedraggled sensitIV/HSS outfit, which is about as weird-looking as that pairing of units suggests.]

......

...............

...Do you need some assistance?

[malumdiscordiae]

[ kaiju hops back and looks up at honey. he can't talk like this, so all he can do is flail his arms and point at the hydro slime. kill it kill it kill it-! while he's acting like a luantic the hydro slime bounces up and tries landing on him for a BIG SMUSH. ]

[paradiseunboxed]

[Honey still only has one ability, and he doesn't even know what that one is right now... plus he doesn't want to kill or hurt the slime.

but he also can't let a small pink godzilla get body-slammed by a slime, so Honey takes off at a run and tackles Kaiju out of the slime's way.]

[malumdiscordiae]

[ #tackled. ]

[ he squawks! flailing his arms because he doesn't know what the hell is going on. the slime looks on, frustrated it couldn't crush him, but it's not going to continue to pursue them... assuming kaiju cools the fuck off. ]

[ he seems to, looking up at honey. ] ... [ bap! that's probably a thank you. ]

[at_heart]

[ Definitely misses having combat powers he's actually willing to use— ] [ But hey, part of your property? Can he use that to yank Kaiju out of the slime??? ]

[malumdiscordiae]

[ thankfully! kaiju has been getting beaten up by the slime, so he's injured enough that the ability's going to work. he squawks! yanked backward as he flails his arms and legs and tail. ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

A. unit? what unit?

[Valor is standing stock still in an area where it's snowing gently, and has been for quite some time considering the piles of snow that have built up. Perhaps stranger still is the fact that he's dressed very differently from usual, in a style that doesn't seem to be long to any unit in Imeeji, even the temporary ones.

After a long moment of just staring at his hands while standing still in the snow, he abruptly kicks a snow drift, angrily.]

This is such fucking bullshit.

B. third time's the charm

[Somehow Valor has wound up with Heart Soldier Senshi's clothing and powers. Attempts to summon his heart weapon aren't going very well, though. Instead he manages to summon a cute little aibou in the form of a ghost crow, which is a crow that is also a ghost.]

Fuck--not you again! Get the fuck out!

[Ghost crow caws sadly and disappears :(]

[childeishly]

Not a fan of the snow... or are you lacking any fun abilities? [ childe approaches from the side, a celestial narwhal aibou hovering alongside him. ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[KICKS MORE SNOW]

What does it fucking look like?

[childeishly]

Both. [ and then childe laughs. ] Doesn't that suck... for you. [ a small storm seems to be brewing overhead, sprinkling some more snow on valour. ] But maybe that means you're in store for something spectacular and this is just the calm before the storm. [ his lips quirk and the snowflakes start getting larger and larger. ]

B

[at_heart]

[ Of his options for engaging with this, he honestly figures this is gonna go over the best: ]

Aw, but it was cute.

Re: B

[carrionmywaywardsun]

You know what it wasn't? A fucking knife!

Re: B

[at_heart]

[ Snorting into his fist. But it bought him some time so he can say, a little bit more delicately, ]

They're heart weapons. Have you tried drawing it out of your chest?

[paradiseunboxed]

[Showing up in Alfred's Tea Room, absolutely soaked, though the rain was a weird glitter rain that means he's surrounded by shoujo sparkles a soft glowing halo.]

...My book is wet...

[He says, before sneezing. Someone get this boy a towel.]

[happydreamed]

I would say a fair bit more than your book is wet, Honey.

[He doesn't have a towel, but he does have an Alcheme cape, which he immediately takes off to try to dry Honey's hair off with.]

[paradiseunboxed]

[good luck, Doctor-sensei. he has so much hair to be dried off. so much.

for Honey's part, he just stands there and let's Doctor do what he wants.]

...Yes, I ran into some rain on the way here.

...Quite literally. The street I was running on led into the glowing rainstorm, so I had no choice but to continue, as I was trying to outrun some creatures that were chasing me.

[happydreamed]

[gonna dry off all this hair if it kills him]

-Oh dear. You're not harmed, are you?

[at_heart]

—And that's the start of a cold.

[ Tiny bit wry. He's used to having layers to offer, so the fact that he doesn't makes him feel kind of caught out. ] [ Also he ducked in here to get out of the rain, too, so it's not like he's actually dry, wringing his hair out at a table near the door. ]

[paradiseunboxed]

[sneezes again]

...Oh.

...I hope not.

...While I enjoy new experiences, I don't think I'd particularly enjoy being sick.

[at_heart]

—You think it's new-new, or just... something you don't remember on account of all the amnesia?

[childeishly]

[ childe's not about to let this strange weather ruin his date with scaramouche, so in spite of the rain, snow, wind, and plush cats & dogs he brings his truck around to the front of the hotel, firing off a text as an actual cat, a lion, lands on the hood. it growls at him, prompting a raised eyebrow, because what the fuck. ]

Caeli; I'm outside,
...waiting for you.

[abovefate]

[ he doesn't answer, but the message will be marked as read. And sure enough, a little later he's outside and ready to step into the truck ]

And where are you taking me today?

[childeishly]

I thought we could go to the amusement park... again. [ but this time ride the rides. ] Go on a date.

[abovefate]

Oh? And what kind of date are you thinking about?
