⇨ INVASION!

Who: Everyone! But especially HARBINGERS!
When: S2:D16-22
Where: All over Wismuth!
What: As the Harbingers reveal themselves, those among the carnival that Creation has chosen will start to discover new powers within themselves. It's because they're magical girls, yo.
Warnings: Harbingers being assholes.

HARBINGERS OF VOID

On Day 16, the Harbingers begin revealing their new selves... in the form of wreaking havoc on the city! CY-Ren isn't looking for mass panic or serious structural damage - instead she wants constant annoyances and distractions, of the sort that will keep those that might be on her tail distracted from her true plans. However, when Creation is faced with the threat of twelve new Harbingers, it will have to fight in kind...

HARBINGERS: Your job is to use your powers to create messes for other people to clean up! CY-Ren gives no specific instructions outside of a general framework... flex your powers! See what you can do. Don't destroy the city or anything, but give Creation a run for its money. She needs these civilians alive for her later plans.

STAR GUARDIANS: Twelve members of the carnival have been chosen by Creation to fight in its name, even if they don't realize it yet. When confronted by the Harbinger's chaos, their Sparks will make themselves known in whatever form is appropriate to the character - and they will be asked if they are willing to use the power of their soul to fight the darkness. How this scene plays out can be flexible, but essentially they will find themselves faced with the question: are they willing to fight for the preservation of life? If they say yes, their Spark will emerge, and they will be able to trigger a magical girl transformation, as you do.

CHARITY CONCERT: While everyone else is busy with the sudden rise of the Harbingers, CY-Ren's PR team is releasing a statement -- they will say that new information has revealed that there had been bomb threats made against the canceled concert, which are now being blamed for the damages. CY-Ren will make a personal statement, saying that in order to apologize for the failure of her previous performances, a new free to attend event is being planned for the near future - people who had tickets to the previous event and had to go home early get top priority!

[What DIDN'T happen, is probably the better question. The tiny form that is Gongenzaka waves an equally tiny arm, his face about as cute as a certain puppy Yuuya has at home.] Mmn-! I, the man Gongenzaka, will admit, it is not how I expected things to occur...

...However, I, the man Gongenzaka, requested of the Ringmaster a way to be of assistance to you, Yuuya! To see both you, and Yuzu as well, chosen to fight-placing yourselves in so much danger, where so many of us could not face them...

[He puffs up with determination-it looks decidedly more adorable and decidedly less 'strong'.] To simply stand idle would be UNFORGIVABLE..! [he squeaks.]

...so... ....She did this.

[uh]

...It would seem, perhaps... ...I, the man Gongenzaka, am to act as a guide of sorts... [That's his best go at it anyway.]

[Gongenzaka has a very moving speech that is absolutely going in one ear and out the other for Yuya. He just keeps staring at Gon, and his tiny arm, and tiny voice, and big head with an ever-growing, empty headed grin.]

Pffft. [He covers his mouth, but it's too take. What's a break giggle quickly turns into a chuckle, and then boisterous laughter as Yuya really registers Gongenzaka's... everything, right now.

He hunches over, wrapping an arm around his stomach as his knees bend and he laughs, and laughs. This is hilarious. It's the best thing he's seen in days.]

[And, annoyed, Yuzu's going to elbow you, Yuya. Seriously, man! Now's not the time!]

Well... that's... eheh... one way to handle things.

[She does feel a little awkward about it, but hey, it'll work out, right?]

[Enjoy how his UPSET AND SOMEWHAT EMBARASSED WHEEZING.... ...might as well be a squeaky tire. Hoooooo this is not helping.] A-AUUUH....

Y-YUUYA...! Th-This is no laughing matter..!! To be able to combat these effectively is most key..!!

[He trots slightly forward, and shakily stands up on his hind legs, the middle limbs now sort of uselessly acting as attempted balance as he waves his arms.] Yuuya. I, the man Gongenzaka, made this request in order to help; please! Allow me to do so!

[It's not yet official, see.]

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-15 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oof! [Yuya teeters sideways as he's elbowed, enough of the wind knocked out of his lung to forcible dissipate his laughter. It's hard when you're wheezing instead.]

S... sorry. [The grin hasn't left his face, but at least given a minute he can recover himself. He drops down to his knees, closer to Gongenzaka's level.] It's like Con, right? I didn't know she could do that...

[The Ringmaster's magic continues to have very little limits--or maybe she's just good at adapting to the worlds they visit.

His gaze shifts slightly, and he looks between both his friends.]
But if you want to help, I think you should go with Yuzu.
fusionactuallysuitsher: (Huh?)

[personal profile] fusionactuallysuitsher 2018-02-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
With me? [Yuzu blinks, looking at Yuya, then back at Gon] Are you sure about that?
betheman: (o3o)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-21 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Correct..! She could not replace what 'Creation' has done in order to create Guardians...but she was certainly able to do something else..!

[And...what?]

Auh...? [Gongenzaka looks from one to the other, before focusing back on Yuuya. That...was certainly a suggestion, and he's not entirely sure why it's a suggestion that was made.] Well... I, the man Gongenzaka, would certainly be more than willing to aid both of you if possible, but...

...Just why is it that you feel I should go with Yuzu, over yourself..?
hippocarnival: (✮ 004 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-21 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I'm sure! [But Gongenzaka's lack of understanding is met with equal confusion as Yuya knits his brows. Surely he'd be on the same page that Yuzu needs protection, after everything that's (going to) happen, they can't let her suffer any more.]

Well, why do you have to go with me over Yuzu? [That doesn't actually answer anything, and Yuya shoots a sidelong glance to Yuzu. She's probably not going to appreciate Yuya casting any doubt on her own abilities, especially when she's the one who saved him... but it's really hard for him to put the worry into words when she doesn't know why he's so afraid of her slipping away again.

Gongenzaka, though, he can explain that to.]
Actually, can I talk to you in private?

[He shoots Yuzu a reassuring look before just reaching to scoop Gongenzaka in his arms like he would En, and haul him around the corner of a building for some privacy.]
betheman: (OnO (MRP-))

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-21 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Auh- W-Well, it is not entirely a matter of preference, but rather- [Well, he has little time to mention the rather, as he's suddenly in someone's arms.] A-AUHH!! Y-Yuuya, is this truly necessary..!?

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-21 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
You're the one who's small now. [This is obviously more convenient for almost-eye level.

He leans his back against the wall, looking over the corner to make sure they're alone at that moment before he turns back to Gongenzaka.]
Anyway, it's the same thing if you go with either one of us, right? So you should go with Yuzu! You two can protect each other that way.

[Ah, that's what it is.]
betheman: (u fkin kiddin me m8)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-21 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Mngh-just because I, the man Gongenzaka, am small... [HE WOULDN'T PICK YOU UP well at least, not like this, but-]

Hmmnnh..!? Assisting is assisting, Yuuya...it is not necessarily protection... [Really, he didn't think he'd be protecting Anyone like this. Mostly just. Tracking shit down...]

More than that, if such is your worry, are you not forgetting yourself in that equation?

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-21 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuya squares his shoulders and straightens his back, obviously trying to look at strong and stable as possible.] I'm fine! I can take care of myself. But Yuzu's already been... will go through so much. And if I can't be there all the time, you can make sure she doesn't get hurt, right?

[Isn't that the point of being a familiar or whatever? Staying close to the Guardian he bonds with? He could have easily helped in his own form, so if he's going to be of assistance mostly to one person... it should be Yuzu. Yuya's certain of that.] And she'll make sure you're not hurt, either, since you are really small right now. I can trust you two.

[He also has to cast a little doubt on Gon himself, in this state.]
betheman: (NOT GONNA LIKE WHAT'S BEHIND ME)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-22 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuzu has-

[And...this is starting to get rather irritating.] Yuuya...to assume that Yuzu is any less capable of watching over herself, next to you... [The small thing bristles in Yuuya's grasp, and even growls.] Assistance is assistance-it was not my judgement of either of your skills. Yet you intend for me to believe that, simply because of what experience she has yet to have in this place, that she is weaker..!? [He questions, not catching Yuuya's meaning at all.]

I, the man Gongenzaka, am not a burden to be protected-but nor is she one who must absolutely be protected before she is allowed to protect herself..! Likewise, I, the man Gongenzaka, would have hoped you realized I thought the same to you, right now...

[But somehow he doesn't feel that was the impression here.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 138 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-22 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuya's frown just sinks deeper as he feels lectured, and he purses his lips tight to keep from cutting Gongenzaka off.]

I didn't call you a burden. [He tries not to, but his voice still wavers with sulking.] But I think, after everything, it's fair for me to be worried about you and Yuzu. I... I already almost lost you twice.

[He trails off, quiet. Just thinking about it makes him crumple a little.]
betheman: (something seems Not Right)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-22 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He didn't say it, but he should realize what it feels like, when Yuuya's jumping directly into 'protect and get away'. Especially when he references his current state-his eyes narrowed, and the glow within them low.]

Worry may be fair, Yuuya, but what this sounds like is 'I can handle it, so let me'! Or perhaps, 'You won't have to be involved'!'

Yuuya... ...do you truly feel both of us so incapable of keeping ourselves safe? Perhaps for myself... ...that is justified. It is why, after we are finished here, I, the man Gongenzaka, will be speaking with the Ringmaster about a contract after all...But Yuzu?

[They've got Egg Day to cover things after this at least, but that isn't exactly something anyone has Now.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 092 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-22 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that. [His grip tightens slightly as he wants to pull his arms closer, but he stops short of squishing Gon.]

I know you and Yuzu are strong. [He considers them both stronger than him, but that won't help him make his argument.] But you're also both important to me, so of course I care about you being safe regardless! If I didn't make a contract, Yuzu would be--[He cuts off before he says it, but Gon can probably infer the meaning.]
betheman: (just quietly enter Thought-)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-22 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hrmmnnn.... [Ah-hold on, what on earth is that last bit.] Yuzu would..?

... [Perhaps not the place or time, he has a feeling Someone Is Listening. So.]

...Regardless of what would occur, Yuuya...you must realize what it seems like, when your immediate answer is to say 'no, go with her instead', and then speak of nothing but protecting and staying away from things..!! If that is truly how you feel, more importantly...

[He huffs, and puffs up, and-!] Then I, the man Gongenzaka, alongside Yuzu, shall follow you! And make certain that you as well are safe!!

[JUST YOU TRY AND DITCH THEM he still sounds like a squeak toy.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 032 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-22 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuya's not totally sure if Gongenzaka doesn't quite get the point, or if he's rejecting it. At least him looking like a toy dog is keeping Yuya from getting to crushed under his own emotions, even if he still doesn't look placated.]

But if we are separated, you can trust me to stand on my own. That's what I'm getting stronger for, right? [This is totally mutual trust because Yuya's not implying he's going to follow them like a lost puppy if Gon stays with Yuzu, right.]
betheman: (u fkin kiddin me m8)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-22 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That trust was already there, Yuuya. ...A desire to work with another, and help another, does not mean that trust is gone.

[Which implies, perhaps, that it was lost to an extent.] ...just as I, the man Gongenzaka, have this trust in Yuzu.

Rather frankly, given everything...Yuzu herself abandoning such a trust in you is perhaps the least of your worries now, on that note. [Is he implying eavesdroppers he's absolutely implying eavesdroppers. He probably trusts Yuuya as well of course-but somehow he's feeling a bit stubborn about acknowledging that for now.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 039 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-22 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I was talking about you following me... [He pouts.] It's not that I don't want to work together. I do, and I want you there. [He smiles faintly.] Because we're friends, right? But I...

[His gaze drops, although Gon's position in his arms means he doesn't end up hiding his face very well. He knows exactly why he's anxious, he knows exactly what he's afraid of. But it keeps getting caught in his throat, behind a dam that keeps back a lot of emotion.]
betheman: (n o)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-22 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
.....

...Hhhnnnnn.... [Sadly that...just proves his thoughts, his theories... ...He drops it for now, simply frowning.] ....Yuuya...

[Change of subject. Rather, a focus on the Last One.] ...I, the man Gongenzaka...hope you realize why I noted what the least of your worries now were...

[That's probably a good time to poke in if you're going to, Yuzu.]
fusionactuallysuitsher: (Yuzu SMASH stupid Yuya!)

[personal profile] fusionactuallysuitsher 2018-02-23 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, so when were you two going to speak about this to me?

[Yes, Yuzu heard things and she's annoyed that you two are holding things back and all that. Again.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 123 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-23 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuya's back stiffens and he pauses.

And then he leans around the corner to see her, huffing indignantly to displace the flustering panic that starts to rise.]
I said I wanted to speak to him in private!

[Obviously the concern here is that this is rude.]
betheman: (n o)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-24 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
M...mnnhhh... [Yuzu. Yuzu please remember that he's so small he was literally snatched up, and carried away for this-

This isn't his fault at all..!
] Indeed...however, you then proceeded to delve into matters that decidedly concern Yuzu herself, Yuuya.... [Don't try to dodge that bullet buddy.]
fusionactuallysuitsher: (Hot-Blooded!)

[personal profile] fusionactuallysuitsher 2018-02-24 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! If it wasn't about me, I wouldn't of spoken up!

[And you're getting a facefull of fan, Yuya.]
