??? ☬ Day; Voice/Video
[Sup Promenade, you’re gonna be greeted by two unfamiliar voices when the PORTAL turns on. One’s a bit higher pitched male, followed by a slightly more familiar voice of a certain fire chicken.]
It's about time! This is awesome. I love these things sooooooo much. Hey, fire bird, want some popcorn?
...what are you doing. [The reply is most likely accompanied with a lineface.]
Recording! What else? I have to make sure it's a good show, right?
I don't think those two exactly want a-
[The two are interrupted as a third and very familiar female voice comes shouting in from further away, aggravated as all hell.]
D'VEG. I SWEAR TO GOD GET YOUR ASS IN THIS FIGHT BEFORE I GO AND HIDE YOUR FAVORITE STASH OF COOKIES FOREVER.
But but but- oh come on, I wanna watch!
[Another voice breaks in, just as loud and angry, and also familiar.]
NITHAL THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO.
Aibou, I don’t eat cookies--
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, DAMMIT.
[There’s muttering going on and you can hear the sounds of things clashing and roaring in the background now. It sounds like the two female voices are in a deadlock of some sort, and they’re annoyed these two haven’t come to help out yet.]
You want to watch? Fine! You can do that and help me fight! Quit your bitching!
It’s not bitching--!
[A pause, and this is shortly followed by the sound of a ‘whumph’ and a slight whimper.]
Shut up, D’veg.
Owwwww, Krypta that hurt!
[A sigh from one of the male voices is picked up, trying to get everyone on the same page.]
I suppose I should help.
Damn right you should, let’s go!
[There’s a pause in the recording, and a rumble is heard before the video feed begins to cut in, though it’s plagued with static. Both men are gone, but both women are standing opposite each other, raging auras matching the orange sky of the particular venue that they’ve chosen.]
Don’t hold back, alright?
Like hell I would!
[It takes a good moment, but if you notice, there’s a certain glow in in each other’s eyes, and that’s when it becomes more noticeable- it’s Krypta and Lii. Ten years does a number on people, including appearances and powers. The redhead, Krypta, raises an arm and from flames of deep red comes a seven foot scythe into her hands, wood and bark covered in skulls and red and black roses. Her shadow dances and you can swear it looks like she has bone wings on the ground.
The brunette, Madsen, opens gold-colored eyes, grinning as white-gold flames dance across her hands, but she hasn’t made a move to draw one of her swords just yet. Though at moments, the flames look like large, fiery wings across her back before flickering out of sight.]
Then let’s go. IKUZE! [She slips into Japanese for a split second, the language that she learned from one of her best friends and her mentor - something she’d never forget, no matter what the city would try to do to them. And with that, she’s gone in a flash of flames, one sword drawn in an instant to slam into the other woman.
The speed is met and kept up with, Krypta swinging the handle to parry and then immediately follow through with an uppercut on the smaller bladed side. Each hit they make causes the camera to jar a little, shaking from the impacts.
Madsen leans back to avoid the blade slamming her in the face, already having to draw both swords to counter and parry any incoming attacks. But the fact that the both of them are grinning the entire time isn’t lost by the camera, no, not one bit.
The fighting continues on like this for a few moments before something catches Madsen’s attention, causing her to sheath her swords and hold up a hand - despite the fact that the girls were going all-out earlier, they both knew when to recognize the signal to pause for one reason or another. After all, these were just sparring matches.]
What’s wrong, Lii?
...... it’s recording.
[She and Krypta both turn their heads to glare something over Krypta’s shoulder, expressions decidedly not amused one little bit.]
...goddamnit. D’VEG. That is the last time I’m handing you the PORTAL to put somewhere safe! [Krypta facepalms and lets out a groan.] You know how itchy the Unnatural gets at people sparring!
Nithal, why didn’t you try to stop him?!
[There’s a small sigh as the phoenix makes himself known, despite the fact he and Lii were still in synchronization.]
I do apologize, Krypta, Aibou, but by the time I had noticed he had hit the recording button, you two had called us into the battle.
Goddammit. Alright, terminate synchronization - [She turns to the PORTAL, a hand at her hip. Her eyes are now turned back to one gold, one brown, and the immense aura that was around her body has died down significantly.] Sorry ‘bout that, guys - nothing to see here, just loosening up a few kinks, that’s all. So for the love of god, don’t get your goddamn panties in a bunch. I’ve got plans today.
Relax, it’s not like they haven’t seen us pull out the tough stuff when it counts. You know how the city gets. [But Krypta’s got her arms crossed, looking a bit irked that the fighting’s had to come to a screeching halt. Her aura and scythe are gone, pretty much vanishing into thin air.] Better than having something real going on.
Yare, yare. I know. Just not in the mood to have to explain to the kids and Kojuro why we disappeared for a few days without telling anyone. Though I had reason before. Just ... [She shakes her head. Kain’s dead and gone for good, there’s no reason to have to worry about that now. Besides, it wasn’t like he could threaten anyone here.]
[That gets a sudden hair rustle, and Krypta’s laughing.] Hey, no frowns, remember? Gotta keep up the positivity. There’s a reason we’re here now, too.
She does have a point. There’s no need to be worrying about that right now, things are left in good hands one way or another. You and I both know that, Aibou.
[A sudden silence follows, before the first voice pops up from before, a bit hopeful.]
...soooo. Does that mean I get to keep my cookie stash?
D’veg, you’re grounded. End of story.
[The feed cuts out.]
[[All replies from knockaboutgirl and strengthtolead. Red is D'vegmir, Krypta’s demon spirit, orange is Nithal, gold is Lii and normal is Krypta.]]
