paper crane 4 [Video] Very early morning

[magicxmarker]

[Hanna seems to have been up all night thinking about something. Though, who can blame him? Its kind of hard to sleep when fire is literally raining outside and the world as he knows it is being destroyed. But, he knows there is something to be done about it. Something already has been done, but now its his turn to give back. Protect the people he

[Axel's taking a little break downstairs -- keeping the rain of fire off is starting to wear him thin -- but he can't relax quite enough to nap. It's a good thing, too, because it means he catches Hanna's voice on the network.

Hanna doesn't look good, but who does right now? He's dismissing that and focusing on the question.]

I'll help. How many do you think we'll need?

[magicxmarker]

[He knew he could count on you Axel. It does take a minute for him to respond though. He really did have to puke. Not feeling so good, bro.]

Awesome. I dunno exactly how many we'll need...but I'm going to be a sitting duck while I finish my rune so...more than two?

[doestheickyjobs]

[Walking knowingly to your death: not easy. Some people puke, some snark -- he's giving the color of Hanna's face a slightly dubious glance, and continuing.]

I'd bet you can count on Riku and Sora.

-- Maybe Roxas. [A split-second pause.] I could ask him.

Hanna... you feeling all right?

[magicxmarker]

[Hanna's having a little trouble, so he apologizes if he seems a little off.]

Yeah, I was thinking the both of them...

Is um, he available? I mean, yeah its important...but it won't be awkward?

[Yup, the world is ending and Hanna is worried about a fight to the death being awkward. Though at his question, he looks a little guilty. He's not telling you why, Axel, so don't try it.]

Just worried is all.

[ First things first. ]

Willow? Is... is she going, too?

[magicxmarker]

We scoped things out yesterday, but Its up to her whether she goes or not.

[Personally, He'd like if she did. She was very helpful, but he knows how dangerous it is and she wasn't expected to do any more than that.]

[lcied]

[ Of course she would, there was no mistake. For now, Hope would stick to his duties as a medic, but later... later they might need him, too. If those things aren't stopped, there will be no one to rescue anymore. ]

... Well, count me in. I could provide support.

[magicxmarker]

Awesome. I think Raven is going to be leading our group, so I'm waiting for her to give me the details on whats actually going to happen.

[licensedhero]

I'm going with you.

[And nothing anyone can say will stop him.]

What do you need me to do? Just say the word and it's done.

[magicxmarker]

Well you and Riku can fight, right?

I need fighters. Because those things? They're kind of big. And scary as fuck.

[Excuse the language Sora, but he's not feeling well enough to put effort into censorship.]

/THREADJACKS FOR THE SAKE OF. SOMETHING.

[reflectivedawn]

[Surprisingly, he's not even going to try.]

I need you to come out back. We need to test something.

[feel_nevermore]

You saw one of those creatures too, didn't you Hanna? Which one was it?

[magicxmarker]

I dunno. The surrounding area looked like some freaky tea party.

We left before we could be engaged by anything there.

[feel_nevermore]

...Tea party? [It reminds her of Rhode and her dreamscape, for some reason.] Whatever.

Do you still need help?

[magicxmarker]

Yeah. With Giant cups and cake. It was super weird. That and the backdrop. Some laugh track of little children laughing and then this creepy crying...All in all it was a total mind fuck.

But...If you'd like to volunteer that would be great! I mean, we don't have anyone to organize our group...do you have any ideas for that?

He's outside. Leaning up against the stone wall of the house, the bright blue glow of the newly put in place shield clearly visible. And he can tell. He can tell just from the way you talk that you're planning something, Hanna. And for once, he's not even going to try and stop you. Because he imagines himself doing the time if needed.]

Count on it.

[Because he's not letting you go alone.]

Whatever you need me to do. Just tell me.

[magicxmarker]

[Hanna's thankful of that because he's sure he'd lose a lot more than just the contents of his stomach if someone contested him or told him to stop. He has a shaky resolve and thats about it.]

Funny...that's exactly what Sora told me.

[...]

Thanks Riku.

[reflectivedawn]

[He hasn't slept. He can't use Dark Aura to control the fire. His wind spells only help to spread it. His water spells aren't strong enough to do much good other than put a few flames out. He's entirely reliant on Axel to try and keep flames away from his house. His shield keeps wavering. He's only really good for about two things right now: Fighting and healing. He's not going to argue with you for trying to do what you can to help.]

Don't thank me.

[He lifts a hand, pushing his bangs away and out of his eyes.]

You should get some rest first.

[magicxmarker]

[After checking out the witch territory yesterday? He hasn't slept either. And he has no intention to. Sorry Riku, but he just can't sleep under these circumstances.]

I want to. You're working hard and you deserve some recognition and thanks for it.

[He pauses a moment, fiddling with his shirt.]

You want some company..? I can protect myself from the fire, so you won't have to worry about it.
