In which the entire tower collectively goes OH SHIT

[tempustemporum]

[Well, ladies and gentlemen, shit dun hit the fan.]

Alice looked as Chidori dispatched monstrosity after monstrosity. Truthfully, she hadn't expected her to hold such power. She was grateful that they were on pleasant enough terms with each other.

Her own effectiveness had been diminished, given how short a distance she needed between herself and the creatures and how much more vulnerable it made her. It was a risk that Alice was more than willing to take, really. Having already lost her family, home, and sanity, what else did she have to lose?

If she was to die Alice certainly wouldn't make it easy on those bastards.

"Allow me to assist you."

"Alice."

The tone wasn't surprised- there had always been something about the other girl that struck Chidori as slightly off. Now, watching her dispatch monsters with what appeared to be nothing but a kitchen knife, she was glad she'd been right in one way, at least. Alice was a survivor, if her demeanor was any indication, and Chidori was glad- she'd never been fond of the kind of girl who constantly needed rescuing... even if that had been the situation she'd been in before arriving. She gave the other girl a nod, Medea appearing above them with the bang of her evoker, a shield going up around Alice.

"Assistance would be welcome."

[bittertears]

"Slightly off" would've been a vast understatement. Alice saw no point in hiding the truth of who she was and the madness she carried. Perhaps when this mess was all over, she would further share the details of her "condition" with Chidori.

She stared as the redhead commanded the strange creature to her bidding. A particularly curious ability, she had to admit. With the barrier taking effect, Alice's eyes fell on the closest of the monstrosities, steadily approaching it. "Your life is forfeit."

Could it even understand her? Even if it did, it wasn't going to live long enough to have mattered.

[floreatnoctem]

She almost smiled at the way Alice charged forward- either completely secure in her own ability or Chidori's to keep her safe... or not caring much either way. She moved to one side, one of her axes catching a joint, the other burying itself in the closest fleshy part. She would leave the damage-dealing on this one to Alice unless she was truly needed, however- the other girl seemed quite familiar with whatever this gruesome monstrosity was.

If there was one thing Alice knew how to do, it was to press forward. She wasn't of this monstrosity, not in the slightest. The girl would attack, and continue attacking until the creature before her fell. A simple enough plan, and one that she was able to execute without too much trouble. Even with additional blood splattered on her dress, she turned around to face Chidori.

"How many more will we need to rid ourselves of, I wonder?"

[floreatnoctem]

"I do not know..." A gunshot, and the flicker of Medea's presence once again, and fire curved between them and another enemy. Chidori took a half step back, frowning, and took a deep breath. She couldn't keep this up indefinitely. "They simply keep coming..."

[bittertears]

"And we will have to do the same, until one side can finally claim victory, or can no longer continue." At least they knew what needed to be done, now it was all a matter of staying long enough to make sure one of the outcomes came to fruition. "More importantly, what about you?" She asked Chidori, taking note of her current state. "Will you be... alright?"
