(OOC: I promise I haven't forgotten the rest, I just happen to have inspiration for Lord free. Also, once I have posts for the rest up, am set a deadline for finishing the exhibition, just FYI) Lord Miraculously, the Hellfire Knight managed to get its attack off before Lord could close the distance between them. The wave of plasma washed over her, drenching her in an unbearable heat. And then it was gone, replaced with a completely blank feeling beyond mere numbness. For the first time, Hiroki saw a reaction from Lord. The god stopped in her tracks and dropped to one knee, supporting herself with one hand while the other held her chest as though to steady her breathing. An eternity passed in a moment. It looked like Lord was about to pass out, and for that one eternal moment, Hiroki might have thought she won. But whatever hope she might have had was dashed away when Lord spoke. "Not bad." It as barely more than a whisper, the last breath the god could muster, but it announced Hiroki's end clear as day. Blue-white bolts of electricity arced through the air around Lord. At first they ere sporadic, fleeting bursts of energy. Then the chaotic storm coalesced into a constant stream, six strands of energy emitting from the center of her chest and arcing around to pierce her back opposite. All at once, the hand on her chest dropped to the ground, the arcing electricity exploded off of Lord's back, arcing through the air to strike Hiroki, and Lord launched into the air to follow it. The electricity struck and the Hellfire Knight shut down completely, every light going dark at once. The remaining guns went silent and the limbs not only ceased to actively move, but in fact locked in place. Instead of armor to protect her, the Hellfire Knight no formed a prison to trap Hiroki. Lord was close behind, the first punch smashing Hiroki into the ground. It was followed by a flurry of relentless attacks, ten, twenty, Hiroki couldn't keep count of how many times Lord's fists slammed into her hull. Each hit struck with all the force Lord had at her disposal, battering the Hellfire Knight and shattering the earth beneath it. Within a few seconds, Lord had reduced Hiroki's mech to a smoldering heap around her. Unable to maintain its mangled form any longer, the Hellfire Knight vanished and its battered pilot dropped out, landing in the center of a large crater that was once the edge of the arena. Lord stood over her, the god's gauntlets still crackling with energy. Her unbreakable composure was broken. Yet though her face was mired with dust and sweat and her chest heaved for each desperate breath, Lord refused to fall. Instead, she smiled the brightest smile she could muster and said, "Blink was right about you." Before walking slowly off the field.

Remi discovers 10.20, an empty plains space with cliff to the north and northeast Elma The group finally approached the cliff face that had been looming in the distance. "If we follow the wall west from here we'll reach the passage to Colony 6." Elma told them, "Like I said before, it's infested with Grimm. We're clearly not equipped to fight our way through, so we'll need to avoid their notice for as long as possible." Of course, they weren't equipped for stealth either. Unlike Elma on her own, it was inevitable that the group would be spotted eventually. They had a little hile before they needed to worry about it, however, so for now Elma pushed her concerns from her mind.

Amber discovers 11.20, it's an empty plains space. Elma "I'll be fine." Elma insisted. She would be, her Aura was already restoring her. She appreciated Embla's concern, but right now was no time to worry about her health. Enough of that had been done for her while she was unconscious in Colony 9. Now was the time to continue their trek onwards, and so that was what Elma did.

Initiative (OOC: Okay, there's only one action that matters for the next turn, so I'm going to auto-run it) Lyssa uses Primordial Beat of Beowolf 11, dealing 45 (5*9) damage, killing it and ending the combat. Elma, Vale 12.20 Remi's firestorm incinerated the Beowolves, with only one left standing. It dug its claws into Elma, bringing her Aura dangerously low, but Lyssa pummeled it to finish it off before it could do any more. She looked around, first for more enemies and second to see how her team was doing. No more Grimm approached for the moment, granting them time to recuperate. Aside from herself, everyone seemed to be largely unscathed, though some rather worn out. Nobody was in poor enough condition to worry her, so she decided to press on.

Riley With the announcement that they couldn't get anyone back, taking out Kaede became more than just a personal vendetta, it was the path to winning. But as much as she hated to admit it, she wasn't sure she could actually hit Kaede. But there was still an option open to her, she just needed to exert herself a little. For just a moment, her pupils glowed a brilliant white. She glimpsed forward just a little, seeking Kaede's location. No matter how she tried, she couldn't find a future where she stood and Kaede fell. That didn't mean there was no solution. In just a few moments, Kaede would target Alva. If Riley were to attack Kaede with a dodgeball and then intercept the one heading for Alva, much like Lexi had done for herself, then Kaede would be distracted just long enough by Riley's attack for Alva to hit her. She acted quickly, rolling a ball over to Alva and readying a second for her own attack. Moments later, Kaede made her move. Riley launched her ball just after Kaede did and sprinted over and intercepted the attack targeting Kaede with her chest. The ball flew away from her, there was no chance she'd have caught it while moving perpendicular to it (she'd looked to be sure), but blocking it was an easy enough task. It took no time for her to get out of the way, the only thing left was for Alva to throw the ball. Once Kaede was out, Alva could take her time dealing with Cici and Layla. Haley "Well, you know how schools can be." Haley said with a shrug. Despite enforcing them as a requirement, sports were looked on rather negatively by many teachers and politicians. According to Haley's elder sister, this was what resulted in safety rules being omitted so often. If enough people got hurt, popular support for removing the requirement might finally happen. But it never changed. for as long as Haley had been alive and at least a decade before, there had been a deadlock. Sports were still required, but safety wasn't a concern. And then there was Riley. "Miss Riley just doesn't seem to like Miss Kaede very much." She said, "I don't understand Miss Kaede at all, so I don't know why that might be." (OOC: Natalie soon[TM])

I'm so sorry, I thought I was waiting but I wasn't >_< I kinda need to remember what I was going to do, for the moment have a Nibiiro for Sheriff Nibiiro Nibiiro shook her head. Not so much to mean she wasn't going to get a job as she wasn't thinking about it. She didn't really know what she could do, she was supposed to be an observer and she wasn't even any good at that. It seemed like she failed at everything she did. So she didn't want to think about finding work, it was a frightening prospect that she wanted to ignore for as long as she could get away with ignoring it.

As Elma returned to full visibility, she considered calling for retreat. But she decided against it. They weren't in dire straits yet, and if Remi's plan worked they'd actually turn things around. She continued trying to chip away at the bigger Beowolves with her blades, even as she took some rather painful hits from two of them. If they could just get them a little weaker, Elma was sure that Remi could bring them a win. Elma would power through and reach Colony 6, even if she had to do it in pieces.

This is my real life Personally no, but I know of people for whom the answer would be yes.
