TFW you see a fucking support Nami with only an Athenes and Sightstone outduel a Warmogs Mundo. ...Wat.

For those wondering what the fuck Annie is doing to move around so fast, I think this gif will help better than I can explain it. Basically, the idea is she's using hands to maneuver around at high speeds, constantly repositioning them to drag her further. For example, she grabs a branch of the tree with a longer arm, and thanks to her speed, she goes under it and is launched higher up into the air. In a way, kinda like swinging with vines, but at a much higher speed and with gigantic arms. Who knew? I just felt it was good to clarify it because it's a bit hard to explain. And it's something she'll be doing lots of if she can.

I /should/ be available on all days starting from ~30th June because holidays.

Annie walked along the trees, not sure how to handle the situation. She could try to take out Mr. Taylor, but that could probably escalate the situation. Or, she could go solo. Her choice wasn't a hard one. Creeping low along the trees, she bit her left hand, as her right one was being used as her main grip. She focused on giving Ethic and Byron more agility, in case they needed it. It would help with dodging bullets if he decided to shoot. She leapt across the trees, propelling herself forward with lengthened arms. Grappling onto trees, she dashed round, twirling and moving at incredible speeds. She dashed forwards, and managed to catch a glance of Rose, Enya and Ellaria. She shot past them, rusting the leaves and even breaking a few branches in her high speeds. She soon came in the vicinity of a huge oak tree, bigger than the rest. She scaled it, dashing upwards and breaking through to the top. She shot both her arms down onto the tip of the tree, and did a handstand practically in midair. She saw where she needed to go, she leaped off the tree, turning around before shooting her arm forwards, bringing herself below a tree and shooting far above it, into the canopy of larger trees. She continued foraging her way forwards, running along branches and pirouetting off. Soon, the blood dried up, and no more flowed. So, she began to walk forwards, and even climbed a tree. She could just barely see the opening, but it was extremely difficult. She had come a long way. Exactly what she wanted.

Happy birthday, dude! :3

As long as you make sure the number of swings to blank out/deplete his life force completely or at least to cause side effects which will probably happen as you lose life force consistent (i.e it's not 10000000000000000000 swings one day then 20000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 swings the next.)

"There is no escape." Annie's voice rang out, dripping with poison. Crouching down, she jumped off the branch at astonishing speeds, and was level with the goth for a period of time. Twisting in mid air, she shot a roundhouse kick towards the goth's face, the leg traveling through the air at tremendous speeds. "Killing someone else in such a brutal way. Murdering someone is a crime." Annie raged. "And I will make sure you receive punishment, at any cost!"

Annie's eyes hardened. She bit down hard on her hand. "Shut up. I don't care." Annie spat, "You will bear witness to my revengeance." Annie darted forward as fast as lightning, and fired a crystalline fist, aiming right into the goth's eyes, and at the same time, aimed to kick him in the shin with a hardened leg.

Annie's eyes became cloaked in tears. Her head raised up, she began to scream. "I don't know what you are playing at! I don't know what you are, nor do I care!" Annie's eyes blazed in a fury that rivaled hell itself. "I will find you. And I will kill you. I will avenge Ethic. I will be your undoing! I will rip you apart!" Annie leapt forward to where she had last seen Ethic, and kept staring around, looking for the disgusting goth. "I. Will. End. You."

All Annie could do was watch and duck as dark spheres soared past them, smashing into trees and she herself barely dodging them. She jumped to another branch to dodge the next, and watched in horror as Ethic began to speak. Soon afterwards, she watched some kind of goth appear and begin to circle Ethic and Lucian. It didn't take long before they began to fight. "Ethic!" She screamed, before regaining her composure and speaking in a low voice, low enough that the goth wouldn't hear, she hoped. "Try to use his strength against him. Be on the defensive, parry his attacks and try to knock him off balance. If he charges at you, take a shot at his leg if you can. It might trip him over and then you can get him. Just one thing to remember in a fight. Always. Keep. Your. Cool." She knew in the back of her mind she couldn't help; this was Ethic's battle. But she had to offer something, she wouldn't sit and twiddle her thumbs. So, she began to stare at Scott, scanning him for some kind of weakness or opening.

Annie merely watched as the man ordered the Living Dead around, introduced himself, and Ethic and Rose began to speak to him. Then, he just walked off and everything went back to normal - apart from there being no monsters around. "Mr. Taylor, you're alive!" She said, as he began to talk to Rose and the rest of them. "Thank god. But anyway, let's move on; where else are we expected to go? We have two to three hours when day comes, but we can start moving now since the Loving Dead are gone. We have no clue where else to go, so we have to go see the boss. There's a chance she's just like Minos, the boss of this circle. And with the powers we have," Annie glanced at Kenny, "we should be fine to escape."

And we've to do this in 2 to 3 hours? That's how long days typically last. It does not seem physically possible at all.

Annie made Mr. Taylor lighter, before putting him on her back, giving him an almost piggy back ride. "C'mon, Ethic. Hold Enya and jump to the trees. Or she can go herself if she's brave enough. We need to get back to the others." Annie jumped, neatly landing on the next branch. She took a deep breath, before jumping again to another, and working her way back to the group. However, on the final branch, she heard an almighty crack, and only barely managed to jump off in time, landing barely on to the first tree where the group was as the branch fell to the floor. Her breath was erratic, and fear coursed through her. The branch was broken. She stared over at Ethic, who still had to make his way. Shoving her hair behind her ear, she began shakily. "I'll catch you, Ethic. I swear it." She whirled round, put Mr. Taylor on the next branch, making a mental note to check how he was, before turning round. She dug her teeth into her hand once more, and dug her feet in. She held her arms out, and extended them, making them reach as far as she could, which still wasn't far enough. She had to catch him. She knew the others would help. Right? "Guys, I'm really going to need your help." she said to them.

annie 2 da rescue!!!! Anyway, to add a bit of depth to Annie, I've decided to give some insight into what her "perfect world" is! In both her speech, and in my latest post. Hurray for character depth and development!

Annie's arm, extended so far it hurt her, grabbed Mr. Taylor and pulled him back into the trees, with such force that if she hadn't dug her feet into the tree, she would have fallen off the tree. She dared to look at him. Cuts. Blood everywhere. Bits of clothing and skin missing. Biting her lip and holding back a tear, she laid him down gently behind her. She still had to get the others. Drawing her hand back, she stopped to hold it out to the little girl. She didn't know her, but she couldn't leave her. She just hoped the girl would trust her. Turning around to Ethic, she began to speak softly. "I didn't know the man very much, but I believe that nobody should be left behind. Nobody, even if they have done something unthinkable, there has to be some shred of good in them. And there was still the chance he would survive. But... if he has survived through something like this, he's not even human in my eyes. More like some kind of immortal god." A small, sad chuckle escaped her mouth, and a tear fell down. "He was important to you guys, and in my perfect world, if they're important to someone, they've done something worth saving." With that, she turned around to the little girl with the bear. "Listen! You may not know me, or trust me, but I know Rose and Ethic, and others that I'm sure you will know! You can hate me and not trust me later, but now, you need to grab my hand and trust me!" Annie quickly looked down, and saw with utter shock, one of the loving dead attempt to jump up and grab her hand, and she only barely got her hand away in time - a small growl came out that only Ethic could probably hear, as the tip of it's finger had caught hers. "Please, hurry and make your choice!"

Annie pulled Ethic back, dragging him into the treetops. "Look, we might not be friends. But we are comrades." Annie said simply, before outstretching an arm to Byron and the others on the ground. She dug her feet into the branch using her powers, and put her other arm in the air behind her. "I cant pull them back to safety alone. Hold my arm, and pull when I do." Annie's eyes quickly flashed as she altered her and Ethic's strength so they could pull the rest to safety, then figure a way out.

Annie gazed as Byron shot through the creatures, clearing a path. Yet what was saying the path wouldn't close behind them? Who knew how many there were? More people would make it more dangerous. Better to find something else so she wouldn't slow them down. She stared at her surroundings, and noticed more trees, including some in the direction of Ethic. She hardened her eyes. Now or never. "Follow Byron! I have an idea but It's crazy, and I'd rather only one of us die if it fails." Annie bit down once more on her hand, cringing as blood dropped onto the branch. She extended her arm, and jumped, grabbed on to a tree branch, and hauled herself up. It was working. She kept doing that, using her arms to leap from tree to tree, and soon caught up with Ethic, swinging beside him, before going in front of him and leaping onto her foot on the next branch. "Ethic! What matters now is not if you trust me, but if you want to live! Grab my arm!" She extended her arm in front of Ethic, hoping he would grab it. But she wouldn't even trust herself - what if she dropped him? What if she wasn't strong enough? Yet it was worth a try. "Hurry!" The branch she was standing on was cracking, and she could feel herself slowly drooping down.

try to keep up tibbers EDIT; We should probably regroup and fight the things, and work our way back into the treetops.

"Rose, those things are very much fatal. As for if they can climb, I don't know for sure. They have tried to climb, but fail.. yet there was one that almost got up. I had to cut the branch to get it away." Annie stared down into the mass, when she saw Ethic in the middle of a horde, then turn tail and run. Her eyes widened. "Ethic!" She shouted. "You cant stay on the ground! You'll die!" Annie turned round at the group in the treetops, and saw most looked scared. Taking a deep breath, she began; "Guys, we have to save him. We can't let someone die needlessly, even if death isn't permanent. We have supernatural powers and raw powers at our disposal right now. We have to be able to get him, we just have to. Otherwise, he'll die, come back, then after the short day is done, he'll die again, then come back until he figures out how to get out but then he'll have to deal with all of hell alone." Annie stared around, "Does anyone have any ideas as to what we can do?" She gazed down at two other people she didn't even know, also on the ground. "You have got to be kidding me."

"Rose, all I know about this place for certain is that monsters come out at night, and we cant stay here forever." Annie replied. "I'm sorry about earlier. I don't feel like I can trust or come out to anyone..." Annie looked away and wiped tears away. "Yet at the same time I don't feel sorry. I do what I do, and I just want my goal to be fulfilled, for all my pain to not be pointless. But my petty trifles are of no concern. They will learn how to find us, we need to get out as soon as we can. The longer Ethic takes, the more risk we are in. Days don't last long. As the night comes on, souls of the damned come out to torment us. And I'm sure there's even more. I'm sorry to be of little help." She swung down and sat opposite Rose. "I've lost friends and family. I am the only Tsokyo left. This world is cruel and it is survival of the fittest. The strong prey on the weak. That's the sad truth. As contradictory as it may appear, I went from being weak to strong in order to change the world. We cant keep living like this. Nobody else deserves to suffer like I have, like many have!" Annie threw her head up and tears were streaming down her face as she lightly bit her lip. She wiped them away and breathed deeply before continuing. "I am.. sorry. I have learned to control myself but... I still cant help it when small episodes come on. Sorry." She looked away, gazing at the garden.
