C09: Ontario Mills

[soul_mods]

The doors to Ontario Mills have been jammed, and people are turning against each other in panic as they try to find a way out of the circle-shaped mall. Not only are they violently attacking other shoppers, any rescuers arriving at the scene are targets for fear-fueled lashing out.

[usedforcepalm]

It was the first mission Hanabi had ever gone on, in Death City or in Konoha, since she was still two years away from graduating from the Konoha Academy. Still, she had the time and it seemed wrong to let things get out of hand when she could try to help. She wanted to prove that she was worthy of her position in the Watch, and worthy of any Weapon partner she might team up with one day. Respect was something a person earned

[flowering_tea]

Disturbed by the deaths reported in the news, Shuurei had put on her Censorate uniform that morning and gone to take a look at the mission board to see what she could do. She had been told that, although a few people had already left for Ontario Mills, more help would be needed

[usedforcepalm]

Hanabi was somewhat surprised that one of the clerks was here on a mission, but she wasn't going to disregard her help because of something like that. For all she knew, perhaps Shuurei simply didn't like fighting and could manage just fine in a combat situation. If not, Hanabi would handle the fighting. She nodded in response to her first question.

"My name is Hanabi Hyuuga. It's nice to meet you, Shuurei."

She regarded the mall. She didn't know exactly what to say that would help to calm people down, but they could try.

"We should try to take care of the doors - in places that people aren't looking so that they don't just charge the doors. If they can get out, maybe they won't panic as much."

C10: King of Prussia Mall A

[soul_mods]

King of Prussia Mall Part A: People are starting to eat each other and turning into kishin eggs a the King of Prussia Mall! Stop them from eating human souls.

[Open]

[jokeralwayswins]

Since Hisoka didn't have a partner...being that Yuuri had gone off with someone else, Hisoka decided it was time to train. He'd heard about the incident at King of Prussia Mall, and figured that while he couldn't take down a kishin egg by himself, he could...intervene...and take down some people after they ate human souls, but before they turned.

His lips curled in a predatory smile as he surveyed the chaos at the mall. Blood, violence, havoc. He was in his element. To his left, he saw a balding middle aged man, covered in blood, eating what probably used to be a sales clerk. Hisoka walked calmly over to the man, and stretching out an arm, grabbed the man by the throat, lifting the clawing figure off the ground. The creature struggled wildly, scratching desperately at Hisoka's arm as its eyes burned with hatred. Hisoka, ignoring the scratches, smirked and slowly crushed its windpipe.

After a few minutes, he tossed the dead, limp body aside, licking his lips. "One down...many to go," he said playfully to himself, and looked for his

Hi!

[ninetyninesouls]

There was something strange with this madness, Mifune decided as he walked through the King of Prussia Mall with a sword out and a wary gaze around him. The madness wavelength didn't seem particularly strong -- he wasn't feeling it -- and yet it had managed to cause such widespread influence over these people. Was it purely based on emotion, or situation? The madness seemed to be on a purely individual level.

Shibusen was shorthanded enough that they'd sent him to handle what should be something for the students, though Mifune didn't mind half as much as being made to leave Angela under a stranger's guardianship.

Up in front, Mifune spotted Hisoka and stopped to assess the situation. He was familiar -- Mifune had seen him around, sometimes with Yuuri, which was the only reason why Mifune remembered -- but the question was if the man had turned into a kishin egg or not. His bearing certainly seemed like one.

YAY thank you! <3

[jokeralwayswins]

Hisoka hadn't noticed Mifune. He was too busy having fun. A young teenage girl ran past him, covered in blood. Swift as a cat, his arm shot out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her up to dangle in front of his face.

She screamed and writhed, trying desperately to break free of his bruising grip. Using his other hand, he gripped her chin, forcing her to face him as he examined her. "Hnn. Normal. A pity." He dropped her to land ungracefully on the plaza floor, watching in amusement as she scrambled to get away.

He felt a raking pain across his shoulder as he was attacked by another crazed person.

C11: King of Prussia Mall B

[soul_mods]

King of Prussia Mall Part B: There were some people who ate a human soul and are now a kishin egg! Hunt down and destroy these threats before they’re able to kill anyone!

Closed to Kanda

[a_r0yal_flush]

Yuuri had gotten there too late, and he'd watched in horror as some of the people around him had begun transforming into kishin eggs. Eyes widening, he felt his heart skip a beat as the familiar cry of the eggs rang throughout the mall. It was too eerily similar to what he'd experienced in the future, and he couldn't stop the flashes of the horror he'd witnessed because of it

Iyaaaaaan~

[toomanypetals]

Kanda had-- no idea what was going on, really, having followed Yuuri out here after the Great Condiment Catastrophe. But those kishin eggs? Definitely had Kanda on his guard-- it was too much like fighting Akuma.

Without a weapon.

And Yuuri-- was talking fairly odd, and his movements were too coordinated to be the derptastic kid he knew. Something here was off. Still, though, he couldn't stand by and let his--friend? comrade?-- get attacked in front of his eyes. So Kanda picked up a chair nearby and hurled it at the Kishin Egg's face. "Oi!"

<3333

[a_r0yal_flush]

The Maou could feel Kanda moving in the distance. His attention was solely fixated on the Kishin Egg as it moved in to take another swipe at him. He was ready, of course, and was waiting for the beast to move within perfect striking range. It didn't happen though as the chair threw the beast off balance and sent it crashing down to the ground below

C12: Perimeter Mall

[soul_mods]

Kishin eggs have fallen through the open-air sections of Perimeter Mall and have begun killing shoppers. Hunt down and destroy the kishin eggs before too many more lives are taken!

Perimeter Mall~Tifa and Ryuuji

[heart_rhythm]

The call for help with the riots had caught Tifa's attention. The facts were that she didn't have a partner--hell, she hadn't even resonated with anyone yet--and had never tested her weapon powers at all. But facts meant little when people were being hurt and killed and there was a chance to do something to help. So Tifa made her way to the Perimeter Mall, not really sure what she could do, hoping she'd figure it out when she got there.

It was chaos when she arrived. Tifa stopped short as she came across a body near the entrance way, feeling her stomach drop at the sight. Despite the amount of deaths she'd witnessed, it never got easier. But she wouldn't turn away from it or let it put fear in her; it intensified her drive to fight back in some way. Looking around hastily, she tried to size up the situation quickly.

Re: Perimeter Mall~Tifa and Ryuuji

[jerkisjerk]

Had anybody asked Ryuuji why he had come, he wouldn't have known an exact answer but he would have scowled and called them an idiot for asking anyway. Powers or not, Ryuuji could tell genuine from fake monster pictures and what little footage had been available from those attacks were the real thing. So Ryuuji had done the only thing a Keikain onmyouji would do and headed right out for the scene, bottles of water and ofudas ready

[heart_rhythm]

Tifa snapped her head over at the sound of his voice; this man standing a bit away from her didn't have the look a resident, so she concluded he must be a guest as well. It looked like the area had been cleared out... was that him?

In any case, he was mistaking her for a resident of the city. She frowned a bit at his barked order and shook her head, "I'm here to fight as well." She wasn't sure if it warranted mention that she was a weapon with no meister. It seemed to Tifa he would find that as more excuse to dismiss her.

C13: Florida Mall

[soul_mods]

Those aren’t mascots roaming the stores at Florida Mall, but kishin eggs! They’re violently attacking other shoppers around them and need to be stopped. Help local law enforcement and medical personnel return the peace before any deaths occur.

Closed to Stripperella

[quarterlynx]

Do you think they'll have some pretty good discounts going on?

[ Haru questions as soon as they arrive, window shopping on the way. It's such a shame to be in a mall and NOT buy anything right off the bat -- not that he's ever opposed to violence, but shopping was one of his main impulses too. Upon spotting the customers being attacked, his breath hitches a little in his throat. ]

[erostripperella]

[Stripperella's eyes nearly sparkled as she looked around] I really hope so! I've a couple of gifts I need to buy and- oh, those boots are beautiful!

[Her priorities were forever misplaced, but whatever. The woman would so go and buy stuff once she was done. And speaking of that, hero duty called: her eyes spotted the customers and reached to touch Haru's shoulder] let's go kick ass~?

[quarterlynx]

They would look veeery nice on you.

[ Haru agreed in reference to the boots. But after Stripp's words, a dark little smile curved on the corner of Haru's lips and he bowed his head. ]

Yeah.

[ He reached up to grab her hand before shifting into weapon form -- crotch gun was erect and ready for action. ]
