[ btw, she's absolutely looking for her heart. BUT IT WILL HAVE TO WAIT, because the moment she decides that, yes, this place absolutely sucks is the moment it decides to retaliate. ]
[ the ground shudders, inevitably breaking apart and jeopardizing the foundation of what seems to be the city, itself. the hotel to her back dips to the left as the few lights that had been on flicker uselessly. a series of monstrous and twisted brambles burst forth and snare d.va immediately. they burrow into her, skin stretching and splitting as pink blood trickles out from each and every lesion. slithering deeper, they finally reach her hollow chest cavity and knot, swelling until dozen of thorns skewer her from the inside out. her scream is clipped as she drops to her knees and doubles over, body contorting as she starts to undergo her corrupted transformation. emphasis on corrupted. ]

BATTLE MECHANICS. ( I shamelessly stole this from the Impocalypse Event; Mods ilu. ) Look here for an example!
🎮 This is a turn-based fight. PCs will take their turn, the boss will react, and then the boss will take their turn. Players will react and take their turn, and so on and so forth.
🎮 You may take one action per turn, in addition to a single dodge. You can use your actions to attack a target, use an ability/boon, make a second dodge, or run like hell. An Aibou and a Personal Assistant can make their own action(+dodge) separate from their users.
🎮 With every action/attack/blow/dodge/whatever .roll 1d6. This dice determines whether the aforementioned succeeds or fails, with 1-3 as fail and 4-6 as success. If you're attacking ( and you already rolled successfully ) then roll a second dice to determine how much damage you'll inflict on the boss. Lots of abilities and weapons use different dice, so if you're confused, then just ask me ♥. Anyway! please include both numbers with your comment on your turn.
🎮 GREEN TEXT can be dodged, but RED TEXT is guaranteed damage.
[ Oh hell. Are they honestly expected to do this?! ]
That's still D.va, though...!
[ Corrupted or not--she's still in there. ... That said, she still has D.va's heart weapon from the museum in her one hand and--she's summoning up her Aibou. ]
[going to dodge and then target the... tree? to make it see a vision of it being skewered by a dozen swords as soon as it lashes out at the group (which all miraculously seem to avoid hurting dva)
rolled a 4 to dodge, and 3 to use nightmare vision]
he's going to turn around to the nearest surface to extract enough metal to create a staff, at least as a first instinctive reaction. and also wishing he'd asked for his personal assistant instead]
[ she screams at the group of them, the surrounding buildings starting to collapse as this ideal world begins to break apart. behind it is something else, something much brighter, but that's for later... assuming there is a later. ]
[ she ignores most of them, instead turning her attention on raven who tried to destroy the life giving tree to her back. how dare. her tentacles lash out at him but inevitably miss, knocking into the surrounding buildings and destroying them, so, heads up everybody, there's some falling debris. ]
[He sends Ultimate forward in an attempt to pin D.Va down, two heads aiming the two fanged tentacles -- (5, 6) and (6, 5) respectively -- while the middle head misses completely (2).
Intensity's own action is halted by the fact that he misses his debris dodge (2). Whoops.]
[he dives out of the way to avoid the debris, but is mostly unsuccessful with a (3 + 0 - 0 = 3), so he'll shield his head at the very least but ow, he's pelted with pieces of rock, thanks a lot!
he doesn't waste time though, and gets to his feet only to brush his hand along the ground and a broken building beside him, pulling metal up as he goes, shaping it into metal vines.
he directs the vines to restrain d.va, but they're flimsy at best and break with another (3 + 0 - 0 = 3) gdit]
[ King rolls a 6 to dodge the debris, his panic slowly morphing into -- oh, right, rage. Rage is much easier to deal with!
He has Osiris use Thunder Force on the tree portion, rolling a......... 4. Unfortunate.
And while that's happening, he's going to dash forward and attempt to sever some of the branches creeping into her chest using the sword K gave him, rolling a 5, but it's only worth 1 damage. ]
Hiryuu's real bad at dodging. Like, Real, real bad. You'd think a relatively small person could manage? She's getting slammed with debris. Enough that probably she ain't gonna be able to attack this round.
Dodge:1
Meanwhile, tanky Tsubaki? Dodges handily. WITH ROOM TO SPARE!
Dodge 6
And then is suitably pissed off and countering with Meteor Swarm, turning that debris right back around, setting it on fire and letting corrupted D.va have it back. Attack 6 Damage 10 ]
[ ...so c sure did a thing, so take grenade sure is exploding so if you're c or close enough to c... run. SOMEONE TAKE THE GRENADES FROM HIM BEFORE HE KILLS HIMSELF. ]
[ the explosion gets her attention and she's about to try to pick off poor c when she's pounced on by the ultimate dragon. she shrieks, writhing beneath it as she tries to knock it off. she's not quick enough, and both of her tentacles are attacked, leaving them blooding and one of them severely wounded. she musters all her strength to knock the dragon off (6) and send the one tentacle at it (4,2) just as duality tries to snare her. ]
[ king manages to cut through several of the branches before she tries to knock him back (3) pretty unsuccessfully. he's too close and her stubby arms are apparently useless. ]
[ trying to dodge king means that she can't get out of the way of the meteor storm, so it looks like she's getting pelted and set ablaze, which will definitely help destroy some of the plant life strangling her... but this also means she's going into an immediate frenzy, because, who knew, being on fire completely sucks. ]
[ time to buckle down and shoot flaming quills at hiryuu and duality. ]
[ King tries to continue slashing at the vines and branches, emboldened by the initial success, but with a (1, 2) that's definitely not going to work a second time.
Meanwhile, Osiris is getting off its ass and doing something this time, coming at the tree with a regular attack while Thunder Force recharges (4, 8).
And he pauses to stare incredulously at whatever the FUCK C just did.
[Well, since the plants are erupting from the ground which is thankfully stationary, Ultimate is just going to Burst Stream the shit out of where the roots sprout up. The goal: to sever its connection to DVa completely. Two are successful: (5, 10) and (4, 9).
The last Burst Stream is a crit fail so do with that what you will.]

C--!!
[It's distracting enough that, despite handily dodging the debris, he does an absolutely terrible job of. attacking the monster.
[Well there was an attempt.]
