[bashfulshifter]

Setting: December 16th through 21st, all the places!

[After a day of putting things into the strange portal on floor twenty-three, something finally comes out. Many somethings. And it seems they are not satisfied with only the stray finger to nibble on...]

PLAGUE DOCTOR BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES

- Plague doctors use physical attacks, ripping and tearing their victims to pieces with hands and teeth. They travel very quickly and, when slipping in and out of reality, can seem to teleport from one spot to the next unpredictably.
- Characters whose collars are yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet will be attacked if the plague doctors notice them.
- Characters whose collars are yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet cannot harm the plague doctors. They must hide or run.
- Plague doctors become more powerful the closer to violet the character they are attacking is. A plague doctor attacking a character with a yellow collar will be weaker than the same one attacking a character with an indigo collar.
- Characters whose collars are orange will be completely ignored by the plague doctors unless the character directly attacks one.
- Characters whose collars are orange are capable of injuring and killing plague doctors, provided the means by which they attack are entirely mundane. They cannot receive enchanted items from other characters, for example.
- Plague doctors can only be killed by completely destroying the head. It has to be crushed into pieces.
- Plague doctors will carry any retrieval unit they notice into the rift they came from.

Label the date/time/location in the header, basic mingle stuff. DO NOT forward-date anything to Wednesday the 18th or later until further notice. Edit: Open from the 16th through to the 21st! Go nuts!

[Luckily for him he also runs into Shion, though it might not seem lucky at first. Because he isn't the sort of person you would think of having around in a fight. But he has an orange collar.] Hello Archer. [He has a few weapons with ribbon tied to them]</small. These are all real, not glamour, if you want one.

[bowandblade]

Keeping busy, boy?

[He greets his roommate with a smile, stopping in his climb of the stairs to look his way.]

I did not know you were also into this distribution business.

[savedbyasong]

Yes. [He grinned and nodded] I am, I've been helping Diarmuid.

[bowandblade]

And I am sure he is being assisted by Lancer. Such a developed effort.

[His eyes flit over the weapons Shion carries, and he gestures with his chin.]

You have them marked with ribbons. Why?

[savedbyasong]

He is. [Shion nods] Oh that means they have been tested today to make sure they are actually real. Because things can get swapped at night, I found a way to keep track. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing.

[bowandblade]

If it works, who can complain?

[He shrugs and walks over to get a better look at the weapons.]

Have you claimed any for yourself?

[savedbyasong]

I've got a knife. [He nodded, letting Archer look at them]

[bowandblade]

You never did strike me as much of a fighter.

[His comment is flippant and without any actual judgment behind it, as he's busy considering a bow among the weapons Shion carries.]

[savedbyasong]

I can fight. [He blushes] Reno trained me.

[bowandblade]

Oh? I will have to see this sometime.

[He smirks, waving the bow a little in Shion's direction.]

Any arrows?

[savedbyasong]

[He blushed harder and nodded] Oh... um... yes [Searching in another pile] Here.

[bowandblade]

[Just seeing Shion reacting in such a way is amusing; the boy certainly seemed more uplifted with his friend's return. Archer studies one of the arrows that Shion had pointed to before taking a handful of them, sorting through until he has a fair amount for practicing purposes.]

This should do. I have little need for more right now.

[savedbyasong]

Okay, if you need more just find me. [He smiled softly and then his head turned as he heard movement coming towards them]

[bowandblade]

[He cranes his neck as he hears the movement, his smile shifting into a slight frown. With the numerous monsters around, it was probably better to hear it now rather than once the boy had wandered off.]

Perhaps you should hurry up.

[savedbyasong]

Yes [He gathered up the weapons, but a moment later a masked doctor rounded the corner and he dropped most of them, bar his knife.] Get out of here.
