[ A ]
[Jessica is putting her spontaneous fire to good use. Since everything she touches seems to burst into flames, the sorceress is going through the Pleasure District during her off time putting a stop to those robots going rogue chiefly by grabbing hold of them. Not that she neglects her whip but that seems reserved for tripping up the robots more than anything.

She quells the fire on one with a bit of ice magic, shards of ice jutting out of the ground and around the metallic remains of said robot. She sighs out, flexing her hand a little afterward.]

I'm certainly glad my magic is stable but this fire business is another problem altogether. This place really doesn't want anyone to be comfortable anymore, does it.

[And here is one of the discomforting parts of fire abilities. Jessica isn't much of a cook to be honest and setting things on fire doesn't help. However trying to eat out isn't so simple when one keeps setting every slice of pizza they touch on fire.

Right now Jessica is grasping onto the crust of one burning piece, her teeth gritted and her glare enough to make one wonder if it's her element or her gaze setting it on fire.]

What, is it every other piece then? Honestly if there were at least some predictability I could plan around this but now...

[Wildcard! Feel free to PM me if needed. Jessica can also be found at her jobs as a party magician, a mixed martial arts fighter and a swimsuit model as well.]

Mmhmm.

[Naoki scans around them, his fingers working in an anxious flex, his yellow eyes narrow like he's anticipating more robots to come stumbling out of nearby buildings at any time.]

This place is really, well, falling apart. I dunno if I'd say that they're--CERES or this place--ending or anything, but it feels like it's all going to hell.

[magicburst]

Well if they're not ending then they're certainly making a good show of it.

[His anxiousness is perfectly justifiable, considering how yet another group of robots have started doing just what he thought they might. They bumble out after a few of the natives and Jessica blows out a breath.]

Ever since the day this district fell apart these creatures have been a nuisance.

[When one of the robots gets a little too close to a native, the redhead seems to have no issue in sending her whip out with a sharp snapping sound to wrap round the robot itself. She jerks her arm back once it's caught, doing her best to fling it back and away from the natives it's helping to chase.]

It really doesn't seem to end but at least they're fairly easy to deal with.

[masakados]

You're not having too much trouble, at least.

[Naoki nods lightly and then he moves himself, intercepting another robot emerging from nearby. He grabs it by the face and smashes it against the ground before rejoining Jessica, like he'd just taken a break for some small thing or another and not robo destruction.]

It's now I'm wondering just how many of these are in the colony... it could be a, er, commitment to try to take all of 'em down.

[magicburst]

Maybe but one may as well try, yes?

[Or that's how Jessica sees it anyhow. She's used to venturing to other worlds to solve problems now and that's how she views Cerealia as well.]

We may have been brought here for more nefarious reasons that I first suspected but that doesn't mean we can't define why we are here for ourselves. And at least in my case I would rather be here to crush these creatures before they can hurt others.

[She's quite firm about this as she jerks the robot over to her. By now she's worked out touching seems to spring up fire every time and that seems to fry whatever might be working these robots, at least for now. So she lays her hand against this one, fire sparking up until she's assured it's good and deactivated.]

[masakados]

Same. I don't want to risk them coming into the residential district-- while, like, we're sleeping or something.

[Naoki makes a face at the thought of it. He's picturing robots just tramping into their apartments while they're fast asleep.

Fighting sure doesn't stop them from conversing, though. Naoki's watching her fight out of the corner of his eye, taking in how she uses what abilities she seems to have. He, however, deals with robots with relatively straightforward punches... albeit punches that go right through metal.]

[magicburst]

[Jessica goes wide-eyed a moment.]

I hadn't even thought of that really. Imagine the chaos then!

[masakados]

I'd rather not imagine it, actually.

[He flashes a smile sidelong at her.] So we should take care of what ones we can now.

[magicburst]

[At that she gives a bright, enthusiastic smile followed up by a firm nod pf her head.]

A splendid idea! The more we put down now, the less we have to worry about after all.

[masakados]

Always nice to find someone who speaks the same language.

[Naoki grins, pushing up the sleeves of his shirt--the better to avoid scorching them when fire flickers in his palms.]

[magicburst]

Agreed. I'm Jessica, by the way. It's a pleasure to have a little help.

[Oh ho, she can do the fire thing too. At least her magic is stable now, even if she is lighting things on fire with a touch. She can summon up balls of it in her palms though where it was far too inconsistent for that before.]

[masakados]

Naoki, [he introduces himself with a wave of a currently, well, on-fire hand.]

And likewise. Battles always go quicker with backup, too.

[magicburst]

I certainly won't disagree with that. I've traveled with and fought alongside some very wonderful fighters in the past. It certainly put my heart at ease some to know they were there.

[masakados]

Oh yeah? What kind of fighting styles did they have? [Just idle conversation as he punches through a robot, this is all going quite well.]
