Hope you don't mind the smell of gunpowder (and rage).

Characters: Magoichi, Mitsunari, and anyone who wants to run across them.
Setting: Hallway of Dormitory, Level 02.
Format: Action.
Summary: Two samurai have a reintroduction in the hall. Please don't mind the weapon waving. It's how everyone in Sengoku Era Japan says 'hello.' Note: Answers will come from both Magoichi and Mitsunari.


[ What one is likely to notice first, early enough to drive some late sleepers from their rest, is the sound of yelling. It mostly comes in the form of a male voice, harsh and angry, but at times a woman's booms out against it like cannon fire.

If words alone were not enough to garner attention, the resounding clang that comes from metal hitting metal is startling enough to rouse the dead.

Two newcomers, one a small woman with hair like fire, the other a man as slender as his sword, are at odds in the hallway. The woman uses her gun to block what would have surely been a killing blow from the gleaming katana in the man's hand.

The gaze between them is unbreakable in its intensity as their voices become low growls.

It is a long time before they step apart, but at least when they do they seem mollified enough to be approached.

Approach? Y/N/Ignore Crazy People in Hall ]

Comments

[unbending]

[One of said crazy people is very much furious.]

You. You should not be alive! Explain yourself!

[He totally killed you, brosis.

And while he doesn't understand anything right now about where he is or why, he has something to focus on now, and that helps him stand up, hold his sword and stay strong.

Even if he really doesn't have anything left.]

[redbelltolls]

[ Well. That was nearly as unexpected as waking up in a clingy white catsuit.

Magoichi, being Magoichi, however, takes it in a stride. Well, if by "stride" we mean "looking at Mitsunari like he has caught a bad case of the stupid." ]

What the hell are you on about?

[unbending]

[He honestly doesn't understand anything anymore. He killed Ieyasu--he remembers that. Magoichi sided with Ieyasu--he remembers that as well.

And he remembers making her pay for it, but here she stands before him, as if nothing had ever happened.

It is clear that the clang of their weapons is doing nothing for him, so he jumps back to have a wider range, though by his stance it is clear that it's only a matter of time before he attacks again.]

Do not make me repeat myself. How is it that you are alive?

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi keeps her gun up, but it is only in a defensive position. She could easily roll the muzzle upwards and shoot, yet she never makes the move. ]

Far as I know, because no one has killed me yet. Why do you think I am dead?

[ Though really, she would rather know the answer to where are they? ]

[unbending]

[...He scoffs, though he's starting to lose grip on what is going on.

Seriously...he's managing to beat back the confusion and despair with anger, but it's a close battle.]

Because I took your life, by this hand!

/boring eavesdropper tag

[syncingdoll]

_{[Oh, no, don't mind her, Kohaku's just going to curiously (and quietly) peer out the door of her dorm room to watch and see if they backslide into another tense confrontation like the earlier one.]}

hello another eavesdropper here

[bugarallyboy]

[Kota was in his room when he heard yelling. He jumped out of his bed and looked out of the room to see two people fighting. Oh hey, one of them is a pretty lady!

...A scary pretty lady, in fact.

He didn't want to get caught up in the fight, but he was too curious to see what will happen so he ends up watching the fight go on in the hallway.]

[syncingdoll]

_{[Kohaku catches the other door opening down the hall - and surreptitiously give a tiny wave to her eavesdropper-in-arms. Comrades in covert operations!]}

[redbelltolls]

[ After things have calmed down, their audience does not escape Magoichi's notice. Were they older adults, she would have turned on them angrily, demanding where they had been brought; children, however, are spared. ]

Did you find us entertaining?

[unbending]

[...hmph.

Mitsunari just turns away, having no intentions of humoring these children.]

If that is so, begone. We have no use for you.

one playboy coming through.

[hardknoxlife]

[ Ever so casually hauling his lawnmower over his shoulder before using his free hand to push the katana away. Followed by stepping between both of them. ]

There now. No harm done. What's all this then, a gentleman attacking a lady without a single how do? Chivalry in this day and age.

[ A sigh, turning his attention to the female. ]

Are you alright, miss?

oh snap bad news

[unbending]

[When they are interrupted, Mitsunari can only stare for a moment.

And then he is very, very angry indeed.]

Get out of my path, or I will cut you down where you stand!

this will go well

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi gives him an indcredulous look, like she cannot quite believe he just did that. ]

... I am in no trouble. I would suggest stepping out of the way, however, as Mitsunari is known to be a very honest man.

...making friends already.

[hardknoxlife]

[ Anything for a lady. ]

Well he's got a bit of nerve treating you like that.

[ Head tilting back in Mitsunari's direction. ]

Suppose you'd know a little better if you've got a bit of trouble with her. Ever heard of just talking it over rather than raising a blade?

...oh yes

[redbelltolls]

And you do not have nerve for stepping between us?

[ Talking instead of raising a blade? Who does that? ]

I hope you're prepared for Protags, guys

[ocariness]

[ Link sees this, and hears the clang of metal.

... Well, the Hylian Hero is never one to let people fight each other without reason, that's bad! So have a very androgynous elf-looking person wearing a green tunic, battle gear (sword, shield, gauntlets, bow and quiver, etc.) staring.

... Then running right over there because Link is a fearless idiot. ]

Please, there is no need to be fighting one another! We are all in the same situation, in this place--we should be cooperating!

Always.

[redbelltolls]

[ Link is a) an adult, b) armed.

Which would be why there is a gun muzzle in his face, the click of the cocking mechanism echoing in the hall.

See, Mitsunari? She could have done this to you, but she was playing nice. ]

And just what "situation" is that?

sobbing.

[ocariness]

[ Why are you pointing this weird technological thing at them--

Okay this is silly, Link is just going to slowly raise their hands up in a show of not wanting to harm anyone. ]

... I would suggest saving whatever your weapon there is for the monsters that roam the floors here instead. Pointing it at me is not going to help. I am not responsible for your being taken here; I am a prisoner as much as you.

sup protag

[unbending]

[Blah blah blah he doesn't care.

Mitsunari just scowls darkly, hand on the hilt of his sword. He is more wary of another threat than of Magoichi, to be perfectly honest; he has gathered by now that Magoichi has no intentions of shooting him.]

Prisoner? We are meant to be prisoners?

[His tone states that he doesn't like this. Not. At. All.

guess who didn't read his letter]

Can you call off the attack mercenary--

[ocariness]

[ ... Link is slowly realizing this was not the wisest thing they've done. Then again, you don't get to be a hero by being intelligent.

... Courage is not Wisdom, okay. ]

The short answer is yes, though that does not mean anyone has to agree to it. I do not. Our captors are human, I am entirely sure of that, but they are... using some sort of evil magic I do not understand to abduct people from their homes, and claiming they were destroyed--I was brought here just as you both were some time ago, actually.

[ Hands still raised okay can you please not kill them... ]

[worldrestored]

[Approach and assume instantly that they both have a history. Still, this is not the place for this to happen. He lowers his eyes while the Fairy sighs from her perch on top of his head.]

I didn't realize how much humans liked to fight that bad.

[It's not usually that bad. Everyone's just crank in the tower. That has to be it.]

[redbelltolls]

[ Cue one (1) gun to the face.

Then a curious look. What the hell is on your head? ]

[unbending]

[By this point, they've at least come to the conclusion that banding together is better than fighting.

Especially when the others look as strange at this.

Mitsunari's hand rests on the hilt of his sword as he scowls.]

State your business.

[worldrestored]

[Have a curious stare right back.]

Nothing! We were just watching you guys going at it!

[And neither look particularly scared about the weapons they are both wielding. In fact, Naoki casually pushes it away. Go ahead, fire it if you want, it'll just bounce off.]

[redbelltolls]

[ His actions, as well as the strange appearance of them both, make Magoichi frown deeply -- but they also make her cautious. ]

Who are you?
