White Devil Rising [Open]
Who: Nanoha zenryokuzenkai & You!
When: 7th January / 20th May
Where: Ceres Game Center
What: Nanoha's blowing off some steam
Rating/Warning: Mild fantasy violence
Nanoha had two major hobbies that she indulged in when away from friends and family. The first was flying, inadvisable within city limits, (and there was no known way out of the city,) and really not the same without an open sky. The second was mock battles: most of the excitement of real battles without disturbing the peace! When she was a military instructor on Mid-childa, putting assorted rookies through the wringer was quite fortunately part of her job, but here it was just a game. Quite the game, but still just a game. A way to relieve stress, and there was no stress like having all your family and friends presumed dead, and being partly responsible for putting everything ever back together.
“Divine...” Raising Heart announced, a pink sphere of energy forming at the tip of the staff, pointed at the wave of creepy crawlies before it, the theme of this stage looking to be a bugpocalypse of some kind. Two cartridges were loaded into the device, shells falling a long way to the ground as the flying mage quickly charged her attack.
“BUSTER!” Nanoha and Raising Heart finished in unison, blasting a huge hole through enemy lines, a strong opener that would set the tone for the rest of the level. She was on something of a hot streak, winning several games in a row convincingly, as she dove into each match with near abandon, blasting her way through most enemies like a hot knife through butter.
The match eventually comes to a close, and the streak is defended as Nanoha shakes off the headgear, sweat falling freely from her brow. Could she have won with a little less excess? Probably, but winning was hardly the point. She was really here to cause damage in a safe environment, indulging in one of the few joys she had left.
“Hey, are you just here to watch, or will you be joining in the next match?”

"Alright then, Touma," She said as she loaded into ViViD, and summoned her Barrier Jacket, "you may have noticed from my previous match, but I'm a mage specialising in mid-range bombardment, and you look like a melee fighter, so if this is going to be a team battle, I'll follow your lead!"
That was technically the truth. It was the basics of team formation, but even more than that she really liked seeing what young people with potential could do. Motherly instincts, maybe?

Her suggestion made sense. If she took the lead, every single enemy they encountered would be obliterated before he got anywhere close to them. She seemed to be trying to take account of their respective strengths and adjusting accordingly so he wouldn't be left out. Although he appreciated the consideration, he wouldn't have minded at all if she stayed in front and bulldozed her way through the game.
For the first time since materializing in this virtual world, he gave his new surroundings his attention. The pair were currently inhabiting a sparely populated forest. Underneath their feet laid a well-worn dirt path that had seen many days of use as evident by the lack of any vegetation growing on it. The path itself was rather linear and lead deeper into the forest where the trees grew denser. Aside from the soft chirping of unseen birds and the almost unnoticeable fog that layered the cold ground, there was nothing else of note. They were alone for now.
“Could you quickly fly up and see if you can spot anything dangerous up ahead? I don't want us to just blindly follow this path and get jumped by a random encounter.”

"I couldn't see what exactly we're facing, but there was enough movement in the foliage that we can probably expect things leaping out of the trees at us, so watch out for that!" If she seemed oddly excited at the prospect of being jumped, it is because she was. Simulated missions like these needed a surprise or two to be anything like real ones, and she liked seeing not just what the programmers could come up with, but also how others reacted.
"So, now that all's said and done, let's go!" Nanoha cheered, urging Touma onwards to great victory.
