Skeined with gunfire divots, foxholes burrowed into the earth, though the battlefield is long abandoned it is undeniable what it once was. Nature has started to reclaim it, grass and shrubbery sprouting from the ground, but this makes it no less dangerous-- watch your step.
Mechanics If you a character was pushed or falls into a foxhole, roll the dice-- if you roll 3 or less, take -2 speed on your next turn. If you roll a 1, you have twisted your ankle, and the -2 speed modifier applies for the whole round of the game.
You may also hide in the foxholes. This is a +1 to speed if you attempt to ambush others, or if you're LiliS and have an illusion ability to cover them up, you may give yourself a +3.
[Alright it's time for Nya to get holed up in one of these foxholes, so like.
Now you've got an awful spider boy climbing into a hole and taking the dog in with him, then just... Making a trap out of the knife and the hole. With a 2 3 6 roll, anyone who gets too close is looking at 7 damage.]
[ oh. well, bless you nya. he's never really done the trenches thing before. he thinks. probably. demons don't do trenches?
anyways, he follows him. his own dog follows too. its name is Obsidian by the way, it's basically Hiryuu's dog now but their conversation probably got too awkward to give it to her in the end, ]
... it's really cold. [ in a kind of pouty unenthused tone ] But I guess it's fine until everything blows over...
[IT FLINGS A KNIFE in the direction of the other knife , which means it'll go... back in the direction it came from but probably not go as far, so it won't hit them, but it definitely sets the trap off, and then sets off at LEAST one dog, getting it to start barking, which makes Nya nearly jump out of his skin as he immediately draws the gun, but does... not come out of the hole.]
they did meet at betrayal before that. you know, that time maneater entered a room and loudly declared he was going to kill everyone there. but who's counting really. ]
Don't misunderstand. If you attack me or Nya, I will retaliate.
In a vacuum, he obviously wouldn't. But, this isn't a vacuum, it's a game where he's part of ☆ZRAEL so maybe he should act like it. The blood on their hands is on his and so maybe he should contribute to it because that's his place, here? Is this the right thought process? He really, really, really does not know so he just.
Draws his rapier and holds it loosely at his side. ]
[ he doesn't like that look on man eater's face. especially since it's not even directed at him. ... ]
This isn't really a duel, is it? [ when the other one draws his sword his gaze is drawn immediately by the action. he sizes him up. ... and steps forwards a couple more paces, placing himself firmly between Nya and the others. ]
Your unitmate doesn't really look like he's up for a fight either. [ sorry Albert but you're too tense to be as obviously into this as man eater is ]
Yeah. Anyone else show up there with you? Another guy started in the same place as me both of the other rounds, but it looks like he's not here this time.
The first time, no - But, I'd returned there from the center, and that's where I fought. There were ... four, maybe, this time, but they all scuttled off in different directions.

almost a shame.

Re: The Deserted Battlefield
You said something about a trap?
no subject
Which Nya does show Loki, motioning to it with a hand.]
Here it is! If someone tries to get into the hole, they'll activate it! My knife is right there, too...
But see over in this side here, you can get in or out. Me and my dog were in there earlier, and got out to check out the center.
no subject
That's pretty cool... [ he's checking it out. hopefully not triggering anything with his big dumb strat 2 ]
no subject
Careful. It's really taut.
[He then goes to the side, the dog going in first before he slides into the hole, waving Loki over.]
Over here! We should be okay down here.

Shhh...
I think I hear someone.
[Heck.]
no subject
albert notices the. trap, putting his arm out so that eater doesn't walk much further and
throws one of his throwing knives at it, to see what happens?
(2 4 4 with a strat of 9 make that what you will i guess) ]
no subject
no subject
reaching out, he puts his hand over Nya's gun hand. don't shoot yet. obviously their location is already betrayed, but. ]
Stay put.
[ he WILL come out of the hole. ] ... we're not looking for a fight, Zrael.
no subject
anyway, looks Loki up and down, not taking an overtly combative stance yet, but glancing over at Albert like he's gauging what he wants to do here ]
That's a change of pace from the last time I saw you.
[ the stabbing incident was technically the second to last (and first) time they met, but who's counting ]
no subject
win? maybe? he doesn't even know what he wants to do, in this game. ]
They've caused trouble, before?
no subject
they did meet at betrayal before that. you know, that time maneater entered a room and loudly declared he was going to kill everyone there. but who's counting really. ]
Don't misunderstand. If you attack me or Nya, I will retaliate.
no subject
So he'll just... peek out.]
We're armed.
[Haha.
Hah.
It's a joke!]
Just leave us alone, and we'll leave you alone, but I'm not going to let you hurt Loki, either!
no subject
Weeeellll. "Caused" maybe isn't the most accurate word there.
[ then he turns his attention back to the two SensitIVs, just kind of flashing his teeth in an amused grin at Nya, but properly addressing Loki. ]
Just playing defensively, then? Not even interested in a proper duel?
no subject
Will he? --Probably. Maybe? ...Yes?
In a vacuum, he obviously wouldn't. But, this isn't a vacuum, it's a game where he's part of ☆ZRAEL so maybe he should act like it.
