Legion 1776: A call to arms! (We are all doomed) [Joint Video/In Person]

[chivalrous_perv]

[After some crackling and background noise, Battler's video feed snaps into view. Staring at the frog pad, however, is an unexpected face. Gaius Octavian Caesar stares nobly and seriously forward, his mouth moving with no sound. He appears to be delivering some sort of speech. After a moment, the audio kicks in.]...Which is to say: we are in a

[video - Sango & Gokudera]

[coraltaijiya]

[Sango is grimacing on-screen. The backdrop is, very obviously, a wooded area outside of the entire preparation area - very far, far away. Maybe even in a tree. In the corner of the screen, wisps of gray hair poke up haphazardly.]

Does it have to be out in the open like that? [She seems both irritated and concerned.] Gokudera and I... we're sort of in a situation where we need to avoid contact with the, erm, entire camp.

[An insatiably angry Gokudera pops up behind Sango and begins yelling.]

SHUT UP YOU'RE MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE! MY HEAD'S KILLING ME!

[Sango takes a deep, long-suffering breath before muttering, more to herself than anyone else.] And if you'd just cooperated, neither of us would be suffering...

[chivalrous_perv]

[Drawn over by the yelling, Battler takes a quick look at the screen before smiling.]

Hey, looking good Sango! What's going on? You and your boyfriend there sneak off into the woods or something?

[Shaking his head dramatically, now smirking he continues in a less then serious tone.]

Heh, of all the times to wander off... I know the phrase is 'get a room', but there's a time and a place!

Still... if we gather enough people together I'm sure we can come meet you two. I don't care where we are, it's just important we don't remain separated from each other.

1/2

[coraltaijiya]

[Have a very obvious Sango blush.]

N-no! It's not like that at all! It was just, some officers of the army... and explosives, and smoke pellets, and... I think it's just better to say we didn't exactly make friends with this... entire place. [That and she's too flustered to make much sense right now.]

2/2

[coraltaijiya]

[She sighs and tugs at her ponytail nervously, glancing at the groaning Gokudera behind her.]

And anyway, Gokudera is probably too injured to move too much. Has the bleeding even stopped yet...?

...we'll just wait for you, then. There's a big patch of forest outside the west exit of the camp... pretty near the center, I'd say.

[blackyang]

[Hearing Battler's video a little bit earlier, Jackie had to manage the return of her Pokemon in order to get by without being noticed. With six Pokemon in tow, Jackie began to run around the area before coming across the large hat-stand.

Jackie walks towards it, a grin on her face.] You rang?

Re: [in person]

[chivalrous_perv]

Hey, Jackie! Good of you to show up!

[A good natured chuckle escapes Battler's mouth as he moves to greet Jackie.]

Nice to see you in person again. Don't suppose you've got any bright ideas for how to get us out of here so we don't have to fight at all!

[He leans back and puts his hand in his pocket as he shifts his weight to a more casual stance.]

To be more serious, we're gathering here so we can work out what the best plan of action is... That means we need to work out what we're all good at. So... Want to fill me in on what tricks you've taught those crazy giant animals of yours?

[in person] AND FIVE MILLION YEARS LATER--

[blackyang]

'Fraid not, Battler. When your first resort is to fight, there's really no other option better!

[She listens to what Battler has to say, before giving a nod.] With pleasure. Think we can get to come place a little less...populated? While Poseidon, Isis, Leviathan, and Lancelot would probably be able to get by without any suspisions...well, Golem and Zekrom might turn a few heads.

[endlessbeato]

[Beatrice appears on the screen, a bit uncomfortable with the fact she's having to seek help not only from Battler, but also Caesar. However, she knows she is unable to defend herself properly in an actual battle. It was humbling, but after all this she wasn't prepared to die like that.]

Unfortunately my magic still hasn't been restored. But I might be able to assist strategically. Where are you?

Re: Video

[chivalrous_perv]

Hey Beato! Nice to see your willing to come to us mere mortals for help, huh? Shame your 'magic' doesn't seem to be much use when other people are there to see it. If you want to find us, just keep an eye out...

[Battler moves the video feed to show the hat-stand, tent and surrounding area.]

for this scenery and my, ah... Banner.

[He nervously scratches the back of his head.]

So... You got away from those weird servants dressed up in old costumes, huh?

Re: Video

[endlessbeato]

Hmph. It's all due to this King Louis, I've already told you. Besides, you know plenty of people who've had their property or abilities taken from them.

[Beato watched intently as Battler shows the hat-stand and surrounding area. The hat-stand seems to amuse her.]

Ah, an old friend. Don't you grab that every time you need a weapon or something? Not that it ever does you any good.

[She laughs]

And yes. I was able to transform into a butterfly and fly out before they noticed me. This is the only magic I'm able to perform at the moment, and it is difficult. I wasn't able to keep that form for very long. Have had to keep moving since.

[chivalrous_perv]

H-hey! If I'd had a chance to fight back properly, I could have done some damage! If I'd known who I was fighting...

[Battler pauses, lost in thought. No. Now wasn't the time. He could think about Rokkenjima again when they were in a safer position. A small smile forms on his face.]

Anyway, that's not important. What is important is that you get over here! Butterfly or whatever, we need to get as many heads together as possible. Besides, right now you're one of the few pieces in this game that I can consider a sheep...

[Stopping to consider this, Battler smirks as he continues.]

Well... To be more accurate, you're like a wolf whose teeth and claws are no longer sharp. Or a sheep in wolf's clothing... or... something...

[cry_me_arivr]

Geez this camp is huge.

[Fang seemed to be rather displeased, as he was looking around for the tent]

Can you give me some visuals around your tent?

[chivalrous_perv]

Sure thing!

[Battler moves the video screen to show the surrounding tents and hat-stand at the top of it. While the shaky visuals show a rather distinctive gathering of people standing and talking at the spot chosen for its relative height and lack of activity.]

Maybe if I could start a fire or something... or... Ah...

[Disentangling the hat-stand, Battler goes back to looking around and waving it above his head to cause commotion.]

[cry_me_arivr]

[Fang spotted the hat and smirked]

I'll be there in a second. Put it down before you attract the entire army back to camp.
