the rats don’t run this city, we do || Team 3 Steel Round

@ofdusk @cursedbluebird @princepsumbra @unsungblade

The previous round went by in a flash compared to the first round of fighting, and Felix found himself wondering if he even had an opportunity to contribute. If he wasn’t pulling his weight for the team, then what was the point of being there at all? The point of training in the arena was to work as a team, unfortunately, and Felix took that as the challenge it was. He was not about to let himself be a slacker.

So, as the next round began, Felix steadied himself and surveyed the enemies before him. His lip curled up in a snarl of disgust at the sight of rats. Ugh. He hated rats.

[Felix attacks with Brave Sword: 9, 11. Two hits resulting in -4HP to Bodyguard A]

[Bodyguard A counters with Double-Edged Blade: 7. Results in -10HP to Bodyguard A and their counter misses Felix. Bodyguard A is defeated!]

The largest enemy—the disgusting rat king—wasn’t optimal to attack first, so Felix charged for the underlings, sights landing on the one to the furthest left. Quick on his feet, he landed his two hits with ease, and the bodyguard fell just as quickly as they had appeared. A please smirk made its way to Felix’s lips, which replaced his previous repulsed snarl. He turned to his teammate, amber eyes ablaze with determination to eliminate the enemies as soon as possible. No one could call him a slacker after that, certainly.

@ofdusk - you’re up!

Felix & @princepsumbra @ofdusk @cursedbluebird @unsungblade

Training of any kind was destined to draw the attention of the Fraldarius son. Better yet, it was a tournament of sorts, igniting Felix’s competitive side (as if it ever burned out). While he’d prefer not to have to work with a team, he at least felt that he could have drawn shorter straws when it came to teammates.

Not interested in taking his time to get started, Felix charged ahead, hoping for the opportunity to get the first hit in and catch the mechanized enemy off guard.

Felix rolls a d20, and gets a 5. “It’s a hit! … For zero damage.”

Enemy Counter: enemy rolls a d20+2 for sharp beak, and deals 1.5 HP damage.

The retaliating attack from the enemy landed, and Felix grunted in pain from the piercing beak dragging across his skin. He hissed through his teeth, braving the injury, and hurried back far enough to put his shield up against the enemy’s next attack.

Twin Soul: Sun uses Divine Fire on all players. Felix is barely hit, but receives 0 dmg thanks to his shield.

Thankfully, Felix thought ahead and took his shield as his other equipment aside from his sword, and it paid off. He hid behind the shield, sweat forming on his forehead as the fire heated the metal. Amber eyes locked with his teammate and he nodded towards the enemy, signaling for them to attack.

Had one not been enough?

Corrin stares, slack-jawed, at the figure of Takumi. She would be more compelled to question it had she not just met another ghost, but that such a phenomenon could happen twice...

Tears well in her eyes, apologies heavy on her tongue. There are hundreds of them -- both that she has said before and that she had never gotten a chance to -- but Takumi had refused to hear her before for far lesser reason than he had to do so now.

But whether or not he chose to forgive her did not matter. She can't just say nothing.

"Takumi," her voice is so quick to betray her sorrow, wavering despite her best efforts to prevent it from doing so. "It's... I..."

Dragon swallows, shaking her head once. "It's good to see you again."

( the "alive" goes unsaid )

Death had a peculiar way of wiping slates clean.

Hearing her voice, Takumi quickly turns to look at her, to confirm it is actually her that the voice belongs to before he stands stock-still as he sees the sorrowful expression she wears. He wanted to feel bitter, to feel that same sense of betrayal he felt as he laid in that canyon. Alas, he had heard the full story during his solitary years of travel throughout Hoshido and Nohr, tales of her strategic planning and the peaceful future she'd help bring about after defeating Garon, tales of how she helped his sisters live during the war so that they could rule Hoshido into an era of peace.

"Kamui..." There is a bell tone of sadness that rings in his voice as he speaks her Hoshidan name. As much as he wants to call her the names he used after the beginning of the war, he knows there's no use in the bitterness. He smiles softly, though it doesn't reach his saddened eyes. "I know I said it back then, but thank you for what you did, putting me to rest." He bowed deeply at the hip, torso practically parallel to the ground. "You helped save my sisters. I cannot thank you enough for that." He rose and stepped forward, closer to her but still with polite distance. "It's good to see you too, is what I suppose I mean as well."
