6th Cooking Attempt [Accidental Video] *Forward dated to the 13th Hour*

[gigglesnortpriestess]

*Failed Filter to the IT*

[The COMP turns on to show Yukiko looking less than specatular; she's been letting out some pent up frustration on some monsters around the Virgo District and she may have bitten off more than she could chew. Needless to say, there is a beaten up and bloodied priestess on the network.]

I'm sorry...but if anyone was wondering where I've...been...I'm okay. Just a little...

[She stops and the device falls from her hand, landing on the ground. Not even a second after that, she too collapses and blacks out. The feed is still going but Yukiko isn't moving an inch. Someone might wanna stop by Virgo before the monsters see her.]




((OOC: No responses will come from her obviously so if anyone wants to talk with her, they need to see her in person.))

[Of all the...why'd she go and do this to herself? This can't have been necessary at all.

Shepard makes her way over to Virgo, not about to let a kid she's watching over get hurt.]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[Because dealing with stuff is better when you burn things. Except not in this case.]

[strangerfromthedesert]

[If Commander Shepard is still paying attention to the COMP, the feed is lifted off the ground and an unknown face stares at the display for a few seconds before the feed is shut off.]

((OOC: Whether this means anything or not is up to you! I felt it was necessary to alert people participating in this post of Zero's action.))

[risingshepard]

...Fun.

[Whooooooooooo boy. That's certainly not a good sign.]

Here's hoping this won't be more of a pain than I bargained for.

[She'd really love to have it on easy street right now instead of having to worry about potential bad times ahead.

Shepard shrugs, regardless, moving up towards Virgo to get into the thick of things.]

video to action sometime;

[feminine_carnivore]

Yukiko? [ She hadn't seen her best friend that night, Chie had been out for a late night jog and then straight to take a shower. She never would have imagined that she would be in danger. ]

Yukiko! Are you alright?! Where are you!? YUKIKO?!

[ Chie is not even a little calm, she is properly freaked out. Her best friend is injured somewhere and she will find her or die trying. ]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[No answer, no movement. What now bestie?]

[feminine_carnivore]

[ She's going to tear the city apart. ]

Yukiko...I'm coming for you, just.. [ The crying is starting now.. ] ..JUST PLEASE BE OKAY!

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[She'll be here, don't worry.]

[strangerfromthedesert]

[If Chie is still paying attention to the COMP, the feed is lifted off the ground and an unknown face stares at the display for a few seconds. Behind the helmeted person, the camera illustrates the backdrop of many, many shops. She probably will even notice this establishment nearby or in the distance, before the feed is shut off.]

[feminine_carnivore]

H-Hey, wait! [ Chie was excited for a moment, that maybe someone was already there to help, but the fact that he shut it off makes her even more scared and angry than she was before. Luckily she was able to see where Yukiko was though, and was out the door in seconds. ]

It takes Desco no time at all to fly over to the Virgo district and find Yukiko. She chuckles softly to herself as she allows her tentacles to float free and take up a position on a nearby rooftop, overlooking the area while her child body hides inside a convenient cardboard box.

This is going to be the best ambush ever.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[...hate to be either one of them at this point. Besides, not much Yukiko can do since out like a light.]

[tyrantball]

Naturally, an unconscious girl in the middle of the street quickly attracts unsavory attention. As the three robots approach Yukiko, Desco licks her lips and throws off the cardboard box.

She had a speech ready, but these are robots! Seriously, who would make a dramatic speech to their food? For now, her tentacles are still floating back down towards her, so she can't use her personal skills - she'll just summon Dragonlord and fire off a Maragi.

Dynamic Entry! (Zero→Yukiko→Desco?)

[strangerfromthedesert]

The Pantheons get struck by a wave of fire, but that doesn't seem enough to disable them entirely. Their bodies wrack with electric sparks from overheating, yet they still advance in a shuddering motion.

But not for long. "Kouha!!"

A ball of rainbow light smacks one of them right in the back, flinching it before it bursts apart. The other two strain themselves to turn in choppy motion and see their new attacker, but it's already too late. A flash of red and yellow moving in extreme velocity follows with a joining of green, a downward motion to strike one and a spin of light driving into the other. The stranger in red and black jumps out of the way before they explode in place from their internal systems cut apart, landing near the two with a hand on the ground and still in a combative stance with his Z-Saber in the other to guard them.

"Damnit, they keep coming..." He speaks almost monotone, but the annoyance clearly shows through his tone. He turns over to the fallen girl when he realizes her condition, checking in on her with a somewhat rough prod of a hand on her shoulder as he bends down. "Oy, hang in there!" Hopefully there aren't any more around in the immediate area to bother them, are there?

*Afterwards aka getting the hell out of dodge*

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[She's awake and safe in her room at the inn thanks to those who brought her back there. Maybe it's time to ask her why she was out in the first place...]

[feminine_carnivore]

[ Chie should be mad. She should be angry with Yukiko and telling her that going out alone is dangerous. She should be scolding the other girl and teaching her why it was not okay what she did.

But all that she gets is Chie crying and hugging her. ]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[Don't cry bestie, it'll be ok. And that hug? it kind of sent Yukiko back onto her futon. Not expecting that.]

I'm sorry...

[feminine_carnivore]

[ She can't help it! She was so worried! ]

D-Don't apologize, it doesn't matter...you're okay now!

[strangerfromthedesert]

[A solitary figure sits next to the door leading out of the Inn, their head tilted down and their eyes closed as they lean on one knee. He hears footsteps nearing him, but he doesn't open his eyes or lift his head to address whoever they might be. Instead, he asks towards their direction, a trace of concern laced over his otherwise neutral voice:]

Is she alright?

[risingshepard]

[Shepard stops to lean against the spot next to Zero.]

She'll be fine. Shouldn't take too long to heal those wounds with the doctors we have.

[strangerfromthedesert]

[He still doesn't lift his head, even when he hears the footsteps stop next to him. His eyes open though, slits bearing white and dark, staring down the floor ahead of him as if one of the very Pantheons they battled earlier stood there. A hand standing on his knee clenches shut into a fist.]

She shouldn't have gotten hurt to begin with. Why was she by herself if she couldn't handle them?

After Chie pays her visit. Let's not make the visiting hours even more cramped. :|

[risingshepard]

[In comes Shepard once Chie comes out, leaning against the wall and giving her a stern look--guess who isn't too happy with your rashness earlier, but still concerned for her health.]

Hey. You holding up alright?

good idea :|

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[By this time, Yukiko is looking down at her hands. She can't bare to look at anyone without getting emotional. But she does nod in reply.]

[risingshepard]

Good. The last thing I need is you being too hurt to keep going.

So, care to give an explanation for why you went out into the 13th Hour? I'm all ears.

Small Update!

[strangerfromthedesert]

[If anyone is still paying attention to the COMP, the feed is lifted off the ground and a (possibly) unknown face stares at the display for a few seconds. Behind the helmeted person, the camera illustrates the backdrop of many, many shops. Those familiar with it may also notice Junes nearby or in the distance, before the feed is shut off.]
