Characters: Riku (justabignobody), Terra (earthshards) and everyone else who's blowing off steam that night
Setting: all across the tower, night time after the Q&A
Format: Go for whatever you want! /o/
Summary: After that little 'Q&A', Riku needs to blow off some steam. He's unlikely to be the only one.
Warnings: Violence, fighting, monsters all across the board!!!

[Well... for all that this meeting earlier in the day had been informative(-ish), thanks to certain situations with certain administrators, Riku really feels like punching something at the end of it, frustration and anger making his finger twitch restlessly.

It's really only good that he's long stopped acting on that kind of feelings, has learned to channel them into Darkness, into power, instead. It's really a good thing that the Tower provides them with outlets. And that Riku doesn't have a shift to work tonight.

Highwind is fluttering just over his shoulder, chirping softly as he walks down the stairs, hand tight around his Keyblade.

It's time to take out some monsters.]

[There's little sound from the Lorophage Demon even as it dies. The crash of a Megidolaon, as well as several other high-level spells at the same time, might be enough to attract attention, however.

Aleph wasn't able to contribute to this fight due to their physical immunity - the most he could do was stay out of the way. His demons take a moment to rest - Beelzebub in particular looks disgruntled at having to fight flies that should have been under his control.]

Good work, everyone.

[B: Stairways]
[Aleph's entourage is inside the COMP for now, so it's just him with his sword out, roaming the stairs and searching for something to destroy.]

[A: Floor 58]

[Miniblins? Really? Let's see, there must be... about a dozen this time. But even such a large group doesn't matter in such a big room when he doesn't need to stay on the ground.

Right now he's blasting electricity at one of the miniblins trying to crawl up a rafter to where he's hovering - it's never going to make it to the point where it can bite. Several others are crawling up other rafters, but if they get too close then Zett will just swoop somewhere else and they'll have to make their way back to him again.

He doesn't seem to mind if he brushes a hanging corpse or two. He's seen worse.]

[B: Stairways]
[Zett usually elects to walk just because it's less of a shock when he gets somewhere flying is disabled. He's careful as he goes down the steps, but keeps a relatively brisk pace.]

Floor Eighty-Seven

[April is a bit of a cheat when it comes to fights, which is how she manages to take down the two Centaurs easily enough; shooting at monsters with electricity from a distance tends to give her an advantage sometimes. Plus, watching them fry is a bit of a stress relief too.

She does look a bit unamused about the hole in her coat from the spit, thought.]

... Dammit I had fixed this the other day. [Then she yawns quietly, before wincing. Better not fall asleep here, that wouldn't end well.]

[destinedwaters]

[Floor 74]
[Well, it certainly had been a while since she'd seen Archravens. Let along a mutated variety like those in the Tower. The two Husks were new, though. This is why, despite the beauty of this floor that she is far too familiar with (she could go without it, if she were not surrounded on all sides). Inwardly cringing, she merely held onto Stormfall even tighter as R&R Seal appeared in a ble light.]

Seal, Scan-!

[Probably the weirdest thing he's seen her do, have something that looks like a Dream Eater roll a pair of large dice that causes a sort of green light to form over one of the monsters.]

Aha... [Too bad she couldn't hold three Personas. Tatsu Blaze would have been a good match.] Fire.

[Well. Those are some Husks on the way to being barbequed when she teleports from the center and to the edge.

> Bother?
> Stare in a WTF manner?
> Okay seriously she probably senses you there, anyway.]

[earthshards]

[Riku wasn't the only one that had felt like venting after that Q&A session held earlier in the day. Terra had purposefully waited until after dark, then activated his armor and headed out, fully intending on taking out some frustration.

Like Master, like apprentice.

When Riku comes across him, he's actually in the middle of a fight with a small group of tall, loud, brutish figures with masks on their faces and blood dripping down from under those masks, where spikes are visible from the eye sockets.

And he appears to be using a chain whip of some kind--a weapon that, on closer inspection, resembles Ends of the Earth.

What. How is he even--

That's a question that can be asked after the heads start/finish rolling. For now, he's just. Trying not to get skewered by a bunch of wicked-looking blades.]

Floor 25

[technologic]

[And it does attract attention, since April peers down the stairs to see what all the noise is about, blinking when she spots Aleph and his demons.]

... Was that your demons fighting?

Re: Floor 25

[alephbet]

[Aleph looks over at the sound of her voice, while Lilim swoops up to get a closer look at her.]

Yes, it was. We're fine now, though.

[technologic]

[April glances over at the fallen monster, looking impressed.] And that was one of the tougher monsters too. Your demons are really strong.

[And then she blinks over at Lilim.] Ah, hi, Lilim.

[alephbet]

Of course we are, we've gotta protect our summoner. [Lilim grins.]


How are you doing tonight?

[technologic]

And it looks like you guys do a really awesome job. [April smiles slightly, before glancing back at Aleph.]

I'm doing all right. Just zapping most of the monsters I've come across, since I haven't come across any immune to that sort of thing yet. [And she knows her luck will run out eventually.] How about you?

[alephbet]

The same, but more varied. [Aleph gives her a smile.] Would you like to travel with us.

[technologic]

[Blink.] ... Huh? Would that... Be okay with you guys?

[alephbet]

[There's general agreement from the demons. Mara in particular seems pleased that he was absolutely right about them getting together.]

[technologic]

[April stll looks a bit hesitant as she walks down the stairs a bit, glancing around at the demons.] ... W-well, if you guys say it's okay, I'll come along.

[culbutiri]

Nesir skittered back as the Centaur she had been stalking got fried, she looked around and saw the girl who was busy magically killing the second one.

Well at least it had saved her a dagger, since if what the spit had done to her cloak was any indication her daggers would not have lasted long.

She yawned and frowned.] I do be thinking we should no be here long. [She didn't sheathe her daggers, just nodded at the girl. There were a lot of people out tonight.]

[technologic]

[April glances over at the girl and nods back, resisting the urge to yawn again.] Yeah, you're right about that. Last thing we wanna do is fall asleep here.

[She shoves her hands into her coat pockets and heads towards where the staircase is, keeping an eye out for anymore monsters.]

[culbutiri]

We do no be wanting to fall asleep anywhere. [She followed the girl, keeping her daggers out and her eyes watching. Keeping half an eye on April in what seems like a protective manner.]

Up or down?

[alephbet]

It'll be a lot of fun! [Lilim again. She zips around to give April a hug from the back.]

[technologic]

[April squeaks quietly at the hug, but then she giggles.] Yeah, I think it will be too! So, which way are we going, Aleph?

[alephbet]

I was headed up, but your choice.

[Lilim lets go and flies over to behind Aleph.]

[technologic]

[April glances at the younger girl, and then tilts her head in thought.]

Hmm... I haven't really explored the newer floors yet, so I think I'm gonna go up.

[technologic]

We can go up then, I'm not picky. [She had only started going monster hunting a couple floors up anyhow.]

[alephbet]

Up it is.

[Since his array is difficult to transport up the stairs, Aleph sends them all back to his COMP before heading up the stairs to the morgue. His sword's out - he's not a moron.]

[technologic]

[April will follow right behind him, not pulling her own weapons out for the moment. And she frowns as they step onto the floor, eying the cold chambers uneasily.]

... I'm gonna guess the monsters are hiding in those again.

[alephbet]

Probably. The one who opens them is most at risk, so...

[Somebody should do it.]
