[OPEN] i scream we scream for...??

[reprizesal]

Who: Sayo and YOU.
What: Sayo went into ViViD to grind for points to get something. Afterwards, he checked out an ice cream stall’s selection of… odd flavours?
When: May 19th (IC) | February 7th/8th (OOC), May 20th (IC) | February 9th/10th (OOC)
Where: ViViD, Shopping District
Warnings: Violence in ViViD later.

► A: Game Start_
[Sayo never really hides his dislike and distrust of ViViD. It’s buggy, it drags people inside, it cause them trouble and sometimes, bring up things that’s unnecessary for others to know.

And yet, here he is.

Sayo probably would stand out a lot, by the sheer fact that he’s probably one of the smallest players around using ViViD. Depending on your choice, you could:

1. Pre-ViViD session: Chat with him and maybe team up? Sayo wouldn’t decline any offers to team up, since he knows teamwork is important.
2. Assassin’s Creed Killer’s Code: Your mission, should you choose to fulfil it, is to assassinate certain targets inside a city. Your score will be marked based on stealth, approach and non-target NPC reactions to your actions. Sayo can do it, but what is your approach to go with his? Will it mesh well... or cause conflict and wreck your scores in the process?
3. Alien Warriors: Free for all brawl?! Take many enemies, all with strange appearances, within the time limit! Maybe fulfil some optional objectives while you’re at it for extra points? Maybe you should watch out for Sayo, since tantou aren’t designed for all-out fighting like this virtual battlefield.

No matter what, he's here to get points for a certain thing.]

► B: Ice cream pun here_
[After school, Sayo’s in the shopping district and taking a good look around for anything that might be useful. Or good deals, so he can report it back to everyone once he’s back home. At one point, he stopped and was looking at an ice cream stall’s flavour selection. There’s the standard flavours, along with the more… unusual choices. Odd enough that Sayo would actually look up at someone (he’s so small, sometimes he wants to be taller--) and ask.]

Is that one good?

[And points at the flavour he’s asking about. Take your pick, it’s still a weird flavour. And possibly discourage him against buying it… or enable him?!]

[ Kousetsu has accompanied Sayo into ViViD specifically for the reason that it's buggy and dangerous. It's not that he doesn't believe in his brother's abilities but he wants to help as much as possible. And so they found themselves in a sortie of sorts. Their enemies these strange looking beings from another realm.

Kousetsu wasn't sure what they were but he didn't think they were willing to speak to him to tell him. Where ever Sayo needs assistance Kousetsu will be there to aid him. The tachi isn't the fastest but he is the second strongest and therefore these creatures are hardly a match for him and Sayo together. ]

[Sayo might not have a tachi's strength, but he have his tantou speed to his advantage.

If any opponents try to sneak up on Kousetsu, Sayo would be already there, slashing at their... well, he assume it's their limbs, causing them to stop where they are and reacts to it. It's distracted just long enough for someone to finish it off.]

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu will land a finishing blow to his own opponent only to turn around to see that one behind him engaged with Sayo. He'll rush forward and strike at what he presumes is its heart. It'll let out a screech of pain and lash out with barbed tentacles towards Kousetsu and Sayo both. ]

[reprizesal]

[Sayo quickly backs away after Kousetsu struck the enemy. As he thought, it lashed out in pain and he almost avoid the tentacles. Almost, as the barbs on the tentacles manage scratch him.

It's not a real injury, but he feels challenged by it. Especially if he sees Kousetsu being hit by it.

(He knows it's not real, they wouldn't keep any injuries once they left ViViD. He knows--)]

You... DIE!

[Sayo runs in, only to get behind it and try to stab deep into its back.]

[heiwana]

[ Sayo please. Kousetsu knows how his little brother acts when he or Souza are in danger. He does appreciate it but sometimes he worries that Sayo doesn't look out for himself enough in the heat of battle. But Kousetsu is striking the tentacles that dare harmed him and his brother as Sayo made his advances towards the creatures back.

Coupled with its severe injuries already the beast will finally collapse as Sayo's attack hits its mark. ]

[reprizesal]

[Sayo is generally careful. He knows as a tantou, he's not as durable as the bigger swords. But sometimes, he can get very emotional in the heat of battle.

Sayo step back as the creature falls, eyeing it carefully. It's not moving for a moment. He expects it to stand up and attack them. Only it doesn't. It stay dead.]

... It's dead.

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu knows how Sayo can get, so he's honestly not as taken aback as others might be. Still he will move over towards where his brother is and rest a hand lightly on his shoulder. His other hand is in its traditional position as when he prays. His eyes close momentarily as he offers up a silent prayer before he looks back down at Sayo. Despite the thing not even being real, Kousetsu can't help himself. Old habits die hard as the saying goes. ]

Let us continue, unless you wish to rest.

[reprizesal]

[Sayo looks back over at his brother, now that the monster's truly dead. He looks up at Kousetsu, checking to see how he looks. Even if they can't die in ViViD for real, he didn't want to see his brother die in the game on principle. What if, one day, ViViD messed up how the revival/respawn system works?]

I don't mind. But do you need a break, Niisama?
