The Streets of Fandom, Friday Afternoon

[puppy_fair]

"Alright, guys!" Zack's arms were crossed over his chest as he looked around the streets. Handwavey Messages had been left on the phones of anybody who had exchanged numbers at past Reserve meetings, Martial or Magic, and people had been told to bring whatever they needed in order to go zombie-fish hunting. "This is kind of like the time we had

Karla was had her shields up, not wanting to earn yet another lecture on the topic. Her Cinquedea waiting to be called in, but she was mostly using Craft to blast the nasty things. Using a sword meant letting these things get closer to her face and, shield or not, she wasn't all that keen on that.

"Stay down, damn you!" she hissed. Wretched things.

During a lull in attacks, Raven moved over to Karla's side. "Are you well?" she asked, looking her over for any injuries.

[glacial_witch]

"I'm fine," Karla said, glancing over to smile at Raven. "Safe and protected within my shields. No way these nasty things are getting inside."

Her smile faded as she looked more closely at Raven. "How are you? I know violence bothers you."

[trigons_child]

"It does," Raven said, inclining her head. "But my concern for you and the others who are fighting is stronger than that. I came to see if anyone needed healing. Though I admit I am feeling very unsettled."

Today was going to be a Materia day, and the Buster Sword was going to stay pretty firmly at Zack's back. It wasn't that Zack didn't want to use his sword, of course, but he'd always found that the best way to take down swarming monsters was with a spell that could target an area. Blizzara, Thundara, Fira.

He'd stuffed his pockets full of potions, too. Huge surprise.

"Bring it on!"

He was having way, way too much fun right now, yes.

[glacial_witch]

"I'm vetoing these as possible monsters for Ino's party," Karla announced to Zack, as she stepped into a space recently vacated by now-singed piranhas. "They're gross, they smell funny, and I'm just not that impressed."

[puppy_fair]

"Yeah," Zack laughed. "They get bonus points for the re-raise, I guess, but they don't drop any loot or anything, either. Where's the fun in that?"

He held out his hand, and an arc of lightning cracked between his fingertips before flying toward another swarm.

[glacial_witch]

"I'm still not sure how to wrap my head around creatures just carrying around loot and money in their...whatevers," Karla said with a quick shake of her head. "Why do they even carry it all around? How?"

[eyesofahero]

Next time he called home, Cloud was asking for his Materia. All of it, he didn't care how whinny Yuffie was going to get, Cloud would be a lot more relaxed if he knew he had some heavy hitters in store if he couldn't hold his ground himself. ...As if, thought in what probably was a bit of a cocky way as he made his way through a...bank? of flying undead aberrations, the hollow blade separated from the main body; double wielding made things certainly faster.

"At least they are all of the same size...", mused as another group moved at him. Flying undead sharks, now that would have been something. "...or singing." It was always a plus if they weren't singing.

[glacial_witch]

Karla wandered up to him, hands wreathed in Sapphire flames. "Kiss kiss," she said, give Cloud a nod of greeting. "Having fun?"

[eyesofahero]

"Hey. We are killing flying fish that come back to life after being killed once, for no apparent reason, and without any preparation." Cloud had to shrug at the view of people beating the un-living crap out of the piranhas. "This is pretty cathartic, if you ask me. How is it going for you?"

[glacial_witch]

"Speak for yourself about no preparation," Karla retorted. "That's why we have the Reserves. Preparation for invasions just like this." She tossed her hair a bit, giving Cloud a smile.

Sookie figured, in a group this size, with this many powered people? Totally the place to work on using her energy blasts as efficiently as she could. So when a piranha swooped by her head, it was pure instinct when she sent it soaring away to smack into a building.

Ha.

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa noticed her friend, and waved. "I think I'm enjoying this," she confessed, zapping a few more piranhas with bolts of lightning. "Is that bad?"

[justwantsquiet]

Sookie grinned at her, ducking as some piranhas swept near. "No, I think it's normal," she offered, but quickly tapped into some frustration and panic as a fish swam too close to her, and blasted it away. "I'm glad someone's 'lowed to have fun."

[angelo_wings]

"It's a nice release," Rinoa said, this time hitting a piranha with dark green bubbles. Oooh, these were weak enough that poison killed them outright, without any lingering. Nice.

"Chance to cut loose and flex those muscles again," she said. "I think Squall was getting restless."

[thegirl_onfire]

Katniss had longed for the chance to actually hunt something dangerous. Not because she ever wanted to, no, but because with the victory tour fast approaching, she'd be getting her new tributes in no time, and she needed to be in fine shape.

Streets were not her forte, though, so she was ducking behind whatever cover she could as she shot arrows out at the fish -- yes, the fish in the air -- and wishing for a tree or something.

[momslilassassin]

Ben gave her a little wave with the hand that wasn't holding onto his lightsaber at the moment.

[thegirl_onfire]

Katniss nodded at him, not wanting to move her hands from her bow or poised arrow. Her eyes glanced over his lightsaber, though, and she curiously asked, "Is that like a sword?"

[momslilassassin]

Ben nodded. "But better," he said, not at all biased. He slashed out at the nearest piranha and the fish dropped to the ground, sizzling.
