towerofanimus | We're going on a monster hunt

Characters: Romeo and you!
Setting: All around the tower, night time. Pick a floor!
Format: Either!
Summary: Romeo goes monster hunting
Warnings: Here be monsters. But I'll add if anything serious comes up

Romeo padded out of his room quietly, trying not to wake up his roommates. If they were all even in bed. Sometimes they weren't.

He skipped down the hallway and then slowed to a walk when he got to the staircase. He held his knife in his hand and it was time to go and train. Since everyone who had ever tried to teach him to fight had long vanished from the tower, Romeo had figured that just practicing himself was best.

He was getting better. Though he usually still got overwhelmed and had to end the night with a mad dash up to his room.

He jumped off the staircase into the corridor of floor ninety three, hearing noises. Soon there was a scuttling as a few miniblin's approached, on the ceiling and floor. Romeo didn't really like hurting monsters, but they had hurt his friends first and he had to get stronger in order to help everyone. So he gripped his knife and rushed at the first one, dodging teeth as he did so.

He continued on after that, every now and again entering a floor to fight monsters, running away if he got too overwhelmed but for the most part sticking to one's he knew he could fight, even if it was hard. He was cut and bruised by half way through the night, but learning how to look after injuries was something he had been trying to teach himself too, so he could help his friends if they got hurt!

"FREEZE BULLET!"

Lina wasn't sure what was going on when she came to this floor, other than something big and nasty was making a racket and chasing someone. So on impulse, she threw out a powerful concentration of ice magic to try and stop the thing - or slow it down enough that whoever it was chasing could get away.

Romeo heard the voice and the monster seemed to stop, so he kept running faster, knife in hand and almost ran into Lina. "Don't go that way miss there's a big monster!"

"I noticed!" Lina answers in a sharp tone, already doing hand motions for a second spell. "Holy wind, wind which flows gently across the land, let all things be filled with your pure breath! VAN REHL!" Glowing blue light gathered in her hand, and was slammed to the ground. Icy tendrils sprang forth, some going for the monster to further encase it in ice, the others forming a frozen lattice wall between the beast and Lina.

"Okay, now we leave!"

"Wow!" Romeo ran after her, very impressed. "That was amazing miss!"

"I know, I know, but be impressed later, when we're far away from that thing!"

That said, Lina made a beeline for the stairs, glancing back partway up. "Just be careful, the next one up is open, and I can't use magic there if that thing chases us, so keep movin'!"

If there was anything that Romeo was good at it was running. So he took the stairs two at a time, checking to make sure Lina was still running. "Run fast miss!" He sounds like he is having far too much fun.

"Don't worry about me, long as we can get to a different floor I can keep that thing off our backs!" She was keeping pace fairly well, but was making sure to stay behind Romeo rather than get in front. Good thing they were moving as quick as they were - the sound of cracking ice and a very angry Big Daddy could be heard back on the swamp floor.

"Come on then miss we can get to one with powers!" He glanced behind him and kept running, making sure miss Lina was still behind him.

Lina starts to object and correct him that she means a floor that allows them, but there's little sense in doing so right now.

"Yeah, I know - just," she pauses, then clenches her jaw for a moment. "If it goes bad, you keep runnin', alright?"

Which was what Romeo meant really, he frowns when she speaks though. "I'm not leaving you miss Lina! We fight it together okay!"
