[The image that blips onto the screen is somewhat blurred by the darkness and the torrential downpour, but the one thing that comes into focus is the pale and rain-splattered face of Justin Law. He's utterly drenched, and the cold and the water combine to make his usual vacant stare even eerier than usual, moreso by the fact that he seems ( Read more... )

[Watson had just been out for a walk. A late walk, in fact, that he needed despite the blasted weather. Somewhere between trying to figure out a vending machine at the lower portions of Death City and wondering which coins would work on it, there had just suddenly been water everywhere.]

[Now, the thing with Watson is that he limps and walks around with a cane. With his cane dangling from an arm as he had been inspecting the machine, it had been so easy for him to lose his balance and footing with the water.]

[Cue coughing and choking as he's dragged down. Of course, when something suddenly grabs you by the waist in this damnable weather in this war, you think that you are being attacked. You know those screams of horror on the video? That's him. He's raised up a little before he beats at the claw with his cane, and he's sent crashing back down.]

[SHRIEK OF HORRO-- cough gurgle choke.]

[Having missed, Justin got up from where he was sitting and peered over the edge of the roof where presumably his catch-to-be would be. The current of the running water was rather strong, and it was taking the man away rather quickly. He blinked once, then swiftly dashed along the precious ledge until he'd lined up his second shot.]

Carcan Claw!

[The black claw exploded from his arm with the sound of a gunshot accompanied by the shrilling of unfurling chain. It careened to explode into the water below, spraying everywhere. Unfortunately he'd overshot a little too much. Better than shooting too close; getting hit by that might've been rather painful.]

Do you think that you could grab onto the chain?

[Hopefully noone else was around to hear him. At least the rain was loud. More importantly, though, if he didn't rescue the man soon he'd be swept away completely. This street was adjacent one of the main ones that led out of the city.]

[Action] stalwartcane October 6 2010, 16:08:42 UTC

[WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT.]

[Also, all of his Victorian era clothing, coat and all? They are weighing him down terribly. But Watson is not so far gone as to not realize that the claw is attached to a man he recognizes as that young priest. Kind, but peculiarly deaf.]

Yes, yes-- of course! [This said between sputtering, because manners above all else! Watson however has a hand to his hat and a hand to his cane. Choices.]

[He hooks the cane on the claw instead, right where the chain is attached to it.]

[Action] guillotineofgod October 6 2010, 16:27:51 UTC

[The manners were unfortunately a touch wasted on Justin, as was any answer at all; given the distance and the poor visibility between the rain and flood water, there was no way to visually verify anything. Naturally he was wearing his earphones, and the music was pumping loud enough to drown out the sound of the rain.

He experimentally tugged the chain to test if it had caught. It apparently had, so it began retracting. Slowly. A bit too slowly, because the river was still carrying the man and there was the risk that the chain may swing him across and into one of the buildings. Which was... well, bad, probably. So he had to move and retract at the same time, making for very, very slow progress.

They were also now moving into the major intersection before the city gates. Debris was floating past, too, and a particularly large piece (was that a mailbox?) was heading for claw and rescuee. In a hurried attempt to avert a collision, Justin yanked the chain hard to jerk the man out of the way.]

[Um.]

Is that wise? You could injure someone.

[He pauses halfway through rescuing a half-drowned cat to look over and type one-handed. Captions appear below the recording as he resumes his work.]

Miss, I am a Death Scythe of Shibusen. I have near-perfect aim.

[Video] cursed_tattoo October 6 2010, 17:26:20 UTC

...Hmm.

[She doens't sound or look convicned Justin. Sorry.]

[His claw finally finishes retracting and pops open to disgorge tiny ball of fuzz. It reforms into his left arm, with which he picks the drenched feline up awkwardly and holds it in front of the communicator as evidence. He types with his free hand:]

It is in nearly perfect condition. Slightly traumatized.

[That is when it 'accidentally' jabs him in the eye with a paw in its bid to get free.]

[So sometimes earlier, Date was attempting to, uh, learn how to actually properly ride this motorbike thing. The lessons were straaaange and not so easy to understand and he was still lost and everything. With time to kill today, he had the intention to try and work it.

...but then of course things kind of do not go as planned, and Date totally failed to notice the oncoming tsunami that comes with enough force to start pushing him and his motorbike down. Most people would have been terrified, but well--]

[Hi Justin, how do like a loud cry of fun as Date dashes by with his not-working motorbike and looking like he's having the best time of his life.]

[Action 1/2] guillotineofgod October 6 2010, 17:38:24 UTC

[He stops and stares momentarily as the cresting waves surrounding the hurtling blue blur crash into the buildings. He is visibly surprised, to the extent that his mouth hangs slightly open until...]

[EXTREME ACTION] guillotineofgod October 6 2010, 17:43:11 UTC

[Suddenly, he leaps into action. Having spied flotsam in the water that resembled a broken off sign, he sprints along the rooftops to catch up to the speeding motorcycle. With precise timing, a blade emerges from his right arm and then fires with an explosive burst, sailing like a harpoon to lance into the rear of the waterbound vehicle. Someone would not be getting their bike back in one piece.

The chain attached to it snaps taut instantly and Justin springs across from the building's ledge and slams on top of the makeshift board before being torn along behind it. Balancing expertly, he grips the chain with his other hand and holds on for dear life.]

Fly, mighty steed! FLY!

[Water sprays everywhere as the ill-suited sign is dragged along behind the motorcycle.]

[WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN KNOW.] getyourgunson October 6 2010, 18:10:20 UTC

[The motorbike jerks when the rear is caught, and Date is momentarily jerked from his crossed-arm position in order to grab onto the handles and balance himself steadily while he looks behind to see just who is it that did it. And as he looks, its just in time to see Justin landing onto the surface of the torn sign and shouting what he just did.]

[Rather than being annoyed, all Date does is to grin and let out a bark of laughter.] Hah! I like your style there. [Turns back now, repositioning himself to balance back quite nicely on the bike and folds his arms back again.] Come on! Let's have some fun in this joint.

[AND OFF THEY GO, A ZOOMING WITH THE TSUNAMI IN THE STUPIDEST WAY POSSIBLE.]

[Hey, have a Lust smirking at you from her apartment where she's had the sense to stay]

That's original.

I believe the concept of fishing has existed for thousands of years.

[Video] ominous_sin October 6 2010, 18:28:10 UTC

Not for victims of a flood.

I think a similar concept is used in some cases. Using a Weapon is quite different.

[Speaking of which...]

I am concerned for those already in the desert. Kishin Eggs can be found outside the barrier.

[ Luckily, he had gotten back from the BREW showing in time to almost be swept away. So you get a soaking wet Fran chilling in somebody's apartment. ]

You're probably the coolest staff member yet.

You are a staff member, right?

I am Justin Law, Death Scythe and divine messenger of the Lord Shinigami.

Death Scythe, huh? So you're the cool one of them all.

[ He pulls out his notebook---

...only to realize it's ruined. Completely ruined. ]

.... I'll write that down later, I guess.

Spirit Albarn is the reigning Death Scythe. I am but one of four currently residing within Death City, alongside Miss Yumi Azusa and Marie Mjolnir.

I am cool?
