Kino and Enma After leaving the Grassweed Forest, the spiritual duo of sisters enters the Throne Hall of the castle, the first they had ever been in, piquing their interest in their individual ways. Enma excitedly roams about the castle hall in excitement and jubilee of their new surroundings, as Kino surveys the architecture of the room, admittedly impressed by its structure.

Kill me for using my waifu

Venus One more bullet, and an almost complete canvas. The buildup for this performance was nothing short of divine; and this time, there would be no interference. "Prepare...for your finale." Venus unleashes the final shot writhing excitedly within the gun, striking the Meka with a (hopefully fatal) Basic Attack. (always critically strikes, deals 4 + B2 bonus damage, Quartenary Art bonus damage = T x [2 + B] damage, T= 4, B: = 2, B2: 4) *T = Turns Elapsed B = SYN Bonus damage (1 per 4 SYN) B2 = Four Times the Charm bonus

Venus Venus fires his third shot with an empowered At An Arm's Length towards the Meka once again, satisfied of the previous outcome. (heals for 4 +B, chance to crit (INT/2),Quartenary Art bonus damage = T x [2 + B] damage, T= 3, B: = 2) *T = Turns Elapsed B = SYN Bonus damage (1 per 4 SYN)

Kino and Enma "That I agree," Kino agreed to Jade's statement. "Return we shall, then." Eeehhh? We're going back already? There isn't much time. We must return. But why must we follow the rest of them? We can work fine on our own! Following them means one step closer to our quest, sister. Come, don't be spoiled. Begrudgingly, Enma acquiesces to her sister's decision and the two return to the Castle.

Debronee In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. Debronee knew not when the continuum of inhalations and exhlations would cease, though he tried his best not to question it. To the well-made young man, excellence and acceptance, even of something as boresome as this, came with repetition, much like his training. The more one did something, the more one would come to excel and learn from it, and perhaps even enjoy and relish it. The breathing exercise gave Debronee ample release from his previous battle -- he appreciated moments where he was allowed to calm down, something that the e

Venus Having taken mortal damage by the Bastion he alone targeted without dealing anything close to significant in return, Venus in irritation backs for cover and scrambles for his second shot with an empowered At An Arm's Length towards the Meka. (heals for 4 +B, chance to crit (INT/2),Quartenary Art bonus damage = T x [2 + B] damage, T= 2, B: = 2) *T = Turns Elapsed B = SYN Bonus damage (1 per 4 SYN)

Kino and Enma "A pleasure to meet you, Jade." Kino nodded in response. "It appears we both share the same goal. Perhaps we can proceed here together -- if you have any hint of which course is best to go from here, of course." I wanna explore this place some more! C'mon, let me go free for a little while! Do you really want to go ahead? What if something happens to me? I'll come running, of course. We all will. You're so sweet as always, Nee-san. I'm letting you roam only to find what's new in here. Tell me wh

Venus Venus initiates combat with an introductory Artful Flourish at Bastion 861. (chance to crit (INT/2),Quartenary Art bonus damage = T x [1 + B] damage, T= 1, B: = 2) *T = Turns Elapsed B = SYN Bonus damage (1 per 4 SYN)

Kino and Enma Kino seemed to have presumed correctly that someone else had been inside -- noticing hints of torchlight, the two sisters followed the source to find Jade, the gunner, within the labyrinth of combs as well. This is amazing, Nee-san! Enma's previous pique immediately sprang back to fervency as she noticed the mass of corpses laid in the walls. You were right, Nee-san! We can definitely find some friends here! Kino wasn't very impressed, though. It became clear to her that this maze of combs was a trap -- a hunting ground. The festered scatter of

Kino and Enma Despite Enma's initial excitement of having fun in the graveyard, it shifted into disappointment upon learning that it was infested with the same bee-like essences and Catacombs. It was more a place for a home of bees than a party of souls. ...The bees spare not even this place, so it would seem. Kino mumbled, as Enma continued whining. One of the Catacombs remained ajar, which piqued her interest. Perhaps that other person had ventured into it as well, as she did not see any other place of notable interest or proceeding, though it was also possible that t

Kino and Enma Kino and Enma had fallen back from the others due to the latter's constant whining of her experience of being exposed to a massive about of the Vespiquen's mire, which the two sisters had taken some time to wipe off. Even as they ventured on their way to group up with the others and find something to do, Enma had yet to cease her words, tinted with irritation of her unpleasant experience. As per that experience, Kino had also reluctantly acquiesced to her request of not taking any of the battle's leftovers. That was terrible! Let's get out of here. Anywhe

Venus As Venus and his group attempt to regroup with the Overwatch squad, they discover the native group being bombarded by a group of new enemies. Peering closely at their assailants, Venus noticed their unorthodox forms for a moment, but his surge of inspiration immediately dissipated as he came to the logical presumption that the creatures attacking them were indeed akin to the many hordes of monsters he had fought with his team previously. Knowing they were life similar to the blackish essence of the beings Venus and his accomplices had already endeavored much to destroy previo

Kino and Enma UGH! Even her sister could not fault Enma for her tantrum. Shambled as she already was, even Kino would not acquiesce to the prospect of being drenched in a substance that vile. I don't want to fight this thing anymore! The sooner we end it, the lesser you have to deal with it, Kino answered, with amusement that for once, Enma did not want to enjoy the fun that she always did with their kin of spiritual brethren. Kino half begrudgingly, half-vengefully assaults the Vespiquen with her basic attack, as Enma summons yet another swarm of Death's

Kino and Enma Noticing that the Hives had been destroyed before she could assist, Enma rejoins her slightly damaged sister's side, as Kino and Enma attack the Dark Vespiquen with their respective Basic Attacks. (Bond with the Dead, Last Rites)

Kino and Enma Ugh! Enma shrieked, frantically wiping off the filthy mire that had come from her attack on the insect with her hands. Bug goo! I hate bug goo! If you don't want to get messy, you can work on the Hives. I can't guarantee your safety, but you can at least avoid getting dirty. Kino herself was thankful that she had subdued the giant bee at the right time, or it would be a face of venom for her. Grateful for her sister's suggestion, Enma keeps distance from the Vespiquen while staying in considerable proximity within her sister's location as the

Kino and Enma A giant Bee, nee-san! Enma exclaimed, almost startled. Even in her spiritual form, Enma was more timid than her sister when it come to grotesque insects like the one that presented itself before her. Get rid of it! Get it away from me! Calm down, Enma. We have our allies with us. We have our brethren. You have me. Feeling slightly relieved at her sister's reassurance, Enma composed herself as she begins to assault the Vespiquen cooperatively with her sister and her band of spirits. Enma attacks the Vespiquen with a Basic Attack.

Venus The only remote thing that had enraptured the artist's interest was the thick, wooly jacket complemented with a rather...odd metallic device of sorts. For whatever purpose such an unfashionable garb would serve Venus failed to comprehend -- as an artiste and an assassin, the jacket was too impractical, conspicuous, and above all unstylish. He seemed slightly thankful that someone else had chosen it before him, lest he be relegated to the limited choices of gear set out before him. Venus didn't even manage a moment of the twin shotguns that were proposed to the group -- any gu

Kino and Enma Mitsurugi seemed to have done the liberty of tending to the fracture physically -- in part with Gary's block-like anatomy, it would be difficult to discern and treat the injured accomplice even if Kino had been trained to tend to the wounded all her life. The rest of the group also seemed to lack the capability to heal the spell magically -- and the corruption that came from her clan's death and attacks had since made her spirits vengeful and unkempt, with the glow of blue hidden beneath her robes the last she possessed of her original bearing. Kino was once experienc

Venus Venus was grateful that he had managed to maintain considerable injury during the scuffle with the mechanized lunatic as before despite the prior injury that might have proved to be a hassle before. Now guided by the team to an odd elevator, Venus follows Friedhold down to where he had landed.

Being the only viable targets for the spectral sisterly duo, Kino and Enma command their spirits to attack any mines within sight in unison with ranged attacks.

Kino and Enma Noticing the bump in the rails, Kino, relaxed, with the aid of her spirits and Enma, floats in the air to prevent from being rattled by the gap.

Venus Battered by the force of the adversary's massive hammer, Venus grunted in a mix of irritation and pain as he steadied himself for the attack. Clutching the lotus-shaped accessory of metal he had prepared begrudgingly as he noticed TILT's previous injury, he knew that he could not let his personal ego put his life at stake, and instead backed away from TILT (though remaining within considerable vicinity of the team) and loaded into a Whisper an orb of magical enchantment of a luminescent blue glow as he released his third bullet. Venus fires from a distance with A

Venus continues with his second Artful Flourish, attempting to aim for the same spot. (chance to crit (INT/2),Quartenary Art bonus damage = T x [1 + B] damage, T= 2, B: = 2) *T = Turns Elapsed B = SYN Bonus damage (1 per 4 SYN)

Venus A woman clad in metal had come before the group after an exchange of incomprehensible jiving, now poised to attack before them, confident of her strength despite the numerical odds quite far from her own favour. Even for Venus’ own standards, Venus believed that hers was an eccentricity that even the artist’s own could not find comparable. Sensing his surroundings, he first caught notice of Kagari, who was singing in a language foreign to Venus, such that it was in support of the team’s defensive capabilities, he surmised, as she underwent a transformation unkn
