⇨ 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!

That's what disinfectant is for. [He can take care of a wound like this! He's certainly hurt himself plenty of times working on tricks for duels.]

It was from a fight with... one of the Harbingers. But it's not that bad! And anyway, Foster's doing something about all of that too so what if he can't make it in time if you're in trouble? [He definitely remembers hearing Foster is a familiar to 9S, which probably means he's stuck by 9S's side. And 9S is a good guy, but...]

If you really want to be in the city, you should have someone else with you. [A pause.] A person.

.... [See this frown. It's the frown of someone who is...apparently now searching the bag they're wearing. Normally 'important' things are in it, but also, Ginko was kind enough to put a few of the bandaids from the shed they have at the menagerie in there. Just in case.

She slides off the bear, holding them out with a frown.
] You're supposed to use it before putting these on. [So. There.] I know how to stay away from trouble. And...

[She frowns a little more severely.] ..............you're the one who got hurt.

[She probably doesn't realize how much that's going to Sting.]

[Those bandaids are not at all sizable for the length of the cut, but Yuya takes them anyway and deliberates for a moment before he starts putting them on. It looks ridiculous.

Still, he frowns, crumpling the remnant wrapping in his hand.]
I said it's not that bad! Creation gave me power, so if they found you it'd be a lot worse than if they find me.

[And Yuya's supposed to be looking for them, stopping them. That comes with the territory, here. He just wishes he had a better way if bringing them back around.] And some of them are looking for people to hurt. You can try and avoid them, but how are you going to escape if one of them finds you?

[The answer is the bear. Standing on their hind legs.]

Smelling. Running. [It speaks, still with that creepy layered voice. Reira nods.] ...The people doing this smell different from everyone in Wismuth...and people are either running away, or gone, when you're near a spot.

After that, they can run as fast as a car though. [It's pretty handy. Erm.] ...normally I'm on the bike though... ....and not here, either... [She adds, perhaps a little dryly. Does he think she's out here for hours, or something?]

If it's just to practice, I stay in the park where we come out in. ...If I'm this far though...

[Well, in this case, she pulls out something small from her bag.] ....I wanted to get something for Yuzu-neesama...

[He doesn't know, because Reira doesn't tell him of her own accord--he's not sure she tells anyone where she is, and that's what worries him so much. However independent she thinks she is, she's a child.

Well, he'll just have to stay with her for now. He's not a whole lot more satisfied, but he takes the bait for the topic change and leans to look at the package.]
What'd you get her?
soft_focus: (Extra27)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-25 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[NOPE, in the bag.] That's a secret. [Wow. Anyway.] Mnh... If you're here though...does that mean you're trying to find people to fight?

[There is...a pause, and in the meantime her sparrow pulls out to rest on her scalp in plain sight.] ...Is...that okay, for you..? [She asks a little hesitantly.]

....it sounds different, from dueling...

[Sounds is key here. She hasn't...seen any of these fights. At all.]

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-25 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to tell her! [It's like people think he's a gossip, or something. He's holding plenty of secrets...

He deliberates for a moment on how to explain it to her.]
I'm not really fighting them, I'm just stopping them from hurting other people. They're still our friends even if they've been brainwashed, but we can't let them do what they want.

[He doesn't have a fantastic track record for this, but that's neither here nor there.]
soft_focus: (extra 09)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-25 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
I know that. ...but you might act weird if you have a secret to keep. [It's hard for her to tell what's obvious and what isn't for others, anyway.

She blinks a little surprisedly at the, erm. Brainwashing bit though.
] Umnh-! They are...? Is it like.... [Erm....wellllll...]

...is...it like when Zarc was....

[Thanks for the vote of confidence, Reira. Yuya pauses for a moment, falling quiet. But then he shakes his head.]

No, they're different. Not like they were before, like she changed something in them. [He actually knows a situation much more like what they're going through now, one that makes him sick to remember. But he doesn't want to burden Reira with information on the parasites.] But I think... I think because it's not them, we can bring them back. We just need to find out how.

[ALL OF YOUR INNER FEELINGS ARE HERS TO READ YUUYA

Anyway.
] Umnnnn.... ...so... ...like the Prince then... [Bugs? BAH, forget bugs. The Prince's poison had them acting all kinds of different, and THAT'S what comes to mind now.]

...but if they're not poisoned, you can't just cure them then... ...and I don't know if someone else 'owns' them this time either...

[Yuya has a feeling CY-Ren does, or at the very least she's convinced them to follow her lead. But he hasn't run into enough Harbingers or had deep enough conversations to confirm it. Mostly, the impression comes from Childermass.]

A bunch of us were chosen as Star Guardians, like Noa. [He puts a hand to his chest for emphasis.] So I'm sure we're meant to figure that out. And we will!
soft_focus: (Extra32)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-25 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Mnhhh... ...I guess... ...Not 'figure out' like doing something until you think of it though, right? [Where did you get thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ideaaaaaaaaaaaa-] ...it's not going to be good if you just fight a lot without having ideas....

...especially if they're just fighting back really hard.

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-25 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Not trying to... and we're not working alone. [It's been more successful as a group, although it's much harder than expected. Still, they can't give up.]

But we can't let them hurt people, even if we don't know how to save them yet. We have to stop at least that much.
soft_focus: (D:)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-25 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...You're alone right now though. [Which is sort of what she meant. Anyway.] Sometimes it's good to take a break to make a plan though, [the girl insists.] ...Otherwise you just do what Niisama did a lot....

[Run blindly into things, bluff until you can't bluff anymore, etc...etc...]

[This sounds like shittalking Reiji time.

Yuya leans in closer to her level.]
You know, I think we were separated from him most of that time. I didn't really see a lot of how he was leading the Lancer's. What was it like?
soft_focus: (oAo)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-25 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Mnhh...yeah.

...Niisama had to do a lot of things before he really knew what was happening...but, I don't think niisama wanted it to look like he didn't know, either. ...Because if you show you're scared and don't know, then the people you're leading get scared too, right?

[It didn't really...hit back then. It helped that Reiji actually had his emotions that close to the chest, but....] ...I guess for us, that was important though. Because no one else was going to do something.

...But...there's other guardians still doing something right? What if you took turns so that you could make plans?
hippocarnival: (✮ 008 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-25 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And getting separated in Synchro wasn't part of his plan, was it?

[There's some point to remaining collected in leadership, but Yuya's a little more concerned about how much he was actually prepared for. 'I only play games I can win', right.] What was his plan?

[Yuya knows some of it. Broad strokes, like they needed to make allies to hold against Academia. But being arrested and forced into the Friendship Cup wasn't part of it, was it?]
soft_focus: (extra 08)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-25 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head. She might not have KNOWN any plans, but...] .........it definitely wasn't...

[But hey.] Mnn...for Synchro, we saw someone from Synchro fight Academia, and realized they weren't the enemy...so he just wanted to find their leaders and make an 'alliance'...

[Which, to be fair, he pulled off.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 073 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-25 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, was that really the extent of his plan?] Did he know why we all got separated in the first place?

[Yuya's going to guess 'no'.]
soft_focus: (Extra32)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-26 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a slow headshake so That's Sure confirmed.] ...I don't think he was able to test it with lots of people at once before...

[Actually she's pretty sure he didn't have the tech AT ALL until. Around then.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 089 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-28 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Did he even have a solid plan after they made it to Synchro.] And after forcing us to go with his Lancers...

[As if Yuya wouldn't have been willing once he knew where Yuzu was. Reiji didn't have to let him think she died!]

Were you going back to the carnival soon? [Worry worry.]
soft_focus: (extra 08)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-28 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnh. [She nods.] I was already going...

...I just stopped because they smelled you and your bubbles, [she explains, gesturing to her nameless Daemon.] ...They're really big... ...like the ones from your cards.
hippocarnival: (✮ 096 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-28 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[They smelled his bubbles...?]

Yeah, it's a really big bubble wand. I can make them different sizes, though.

[He pulls it off his shoulder and carefully swings to over her head to shore her, producing dozens of colorful, normal sized bubbles and float around.] See?
soft_focus: (o0o)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-03-01 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well are they odorless, Yuuya??]

Mnh... Oh... [That. Is a lot of bubbles.

However.
] ..........what do they do?
hippocarnival: (✮ 055 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-03-02 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Lots of things! [He holds his hands wide in emphasis.] Whatever I want them to do. It's pretty cool, right?
