idolpro | ROUND 2

[ That hurt a HELL of a lot. She takes the hit directly to the back of her head (and also all of that damage). But she's still got that knife. And without any hesitation at all she rams it right at his eye. (success on strength, 6 + 2 damage. ]

-- Nem! Gimme a hand!

[Already hoofing it towards them since he grabbed for Cap. While running, she unhooks the axe from her belt and once she's close enough, swipes at his back (success on strength, 6+3 damage]

[ successfully dodging the knife by moving to the side, which is also the momentum he uses to dodge the axe as well as uh, trying to swing captain and throw her into nemesis (success, 6 damage)

who needs weapons when you have children ]

[ That would be great, except she also dodges the hell out of the way! rolling under him, kicking over the bucket of grease as she goes. (agility success, 6)]

Do we hate Wild City? I'm ready to hate Wild City.

[Also leaned impossibly backwards, under where Cap would've been flung; thanks, Stability (agility success 3/4/4+2). Straightens and rushes him again, attempting to press him back--or at least draw his attention from Cap]

Silver'd understand.

[She swipes at him again, fierce (strength success 4/5/5+3)]

[ well. successfully moving away from the grease (precision success? agility success? how does grease work) - he's fast enough to move away from the axe again too (agility success), but man. having no weapons sucks. what should he doushio

also are these silver's friends? hm. that's even more problematic than these being children he has to fight. he's moving further away, up and up to a scrap pile so he can get some distance between them and watch them, silent. ]

[ Cap's breathing hard by now. Panting a bit as she steps next to Nem, Still clutching her knife. She swipes at the blood dripping into her eyes. ]

Thanks. Y-you're a lifesaver. He's too fast ...

[Angles herself to cover Cap while keeping an eye on President, still uncertain how long this break to regroup may take.]

He's annoying...got the high ground, too. What're you thinking?

[just the place I wanted to get to! —though last time it was sans people.

he halts in his steps as he comes into the area, taking in the scene]

[ ....... THERE ARE TOO MANY CHILDREN

THIS IS GOING TO BE A CHILD BLOODBATH

I DIDN'T ANTICIPATE THIS

stiff, his scowl growing as he watches everyone from the spot he's in - crouched, like he's ready to attack or run or something but he doesn't have any weapons on him as far as anyone can tell ]

[ whoa, somebody new. She opens her mouth to say something to Nem and pauses.

it's two girls one wolf here bud. ]

-- Gotta outsmart him. Or outnumber him. By a lot.

[ turning to duality-- ]

I - I don't know who you are, but if you help us I swear we'll help you back.

[Shifts a bit to keep Duality in view as well--not that she doesn't trust him, but... Looks to President as well as she talks, making sure they can both hear]

Or at least keep out of this. If somebody here's dying, it's not gonna be us.

[As if an afterthought, she glances at Cap and gestures to the rapier tucked into her belt on the right side, an offering]

[Duality is carrying a rapier too, btw. he's warily watching all of them, keeping his distance]

I'm not going to help someone kill another person. Or let it happen either.

[ they're good kids too. this is terrible. awful ]

[ but I wanna kill something!!

she opens her mouth to say something. thinks better of it. and takes the rapier. ]

... I would try to kill him, but he's too strong.

[ she's begrudgingly impressed by him tbh. ]

[Considers the situation for another beat, then straightens, less overtly calling for a fight]

Well-- If you aren't gonna fight and you're not gonna help, then get out of here. That goes for you too, old man.
