battlefield: the enraged ones [open]
Who: A. Anyone!; B. Mostly those who have shown interest in fighting the Dragon, but even if you haven't posted in the OOC interest check, feel free to jump right in anyway!
What: A. Let's talk about Heralds; B. It's time to fight a Dragon daemon!
When: Late June. A happens before B.
Where: A. The Iris Network; B. A small town found within the Mount Lebanon mountain range, Lebanon.
Warnings: There will be fighting, likely with blood and possible gore.
Note: Will match format!
A. UN: murakumo_emille | Subject: Heralds
A. Colleagues and Students,
I, Head of Research Emille, have been looking into the beings known as Heralds in order to prepare for our eventual showdown with Utultar. There are records of battles against a previous Herald, Xelvak, and we cannot forget that a baby Herald resides with us within the walls of the Academy.
Therefore, for anyone who has fought with Xelvak or Utultar, or have interacted with the baby Herald, I would like to hear your story. What was your experience like? What was the Herald like? How do you feel about the baby Herald that resides with us? Is it an abomination, or worth training to fight with us?
As for myself, I will admit that I am wary of the baby Herald. As long as it does not become a threat, it can remain with us, but the moment it becomes dangerous we will need to take action against it. Besides, I do not believe it likes me much. That is my opinion. What is yours?

B. Codename: Sleepy Hollow
[One June afternoon, Emille receives a dire phone call from Murakumo HQ in Tokyo. They've detected signs of a butterfly-like Dragon daemon in Lebanon, and they're asking if she can mobilize a squad from Daybreak to nullify the threat. By the next morning, she and a select group of students are on a Murakumo-funded helicopter flight to the Middle East.
Upon touching down at the foot of a mountain range, they are taken in rugged ATVs to a small town within these mountains. The surrounding area is densely wooded, and snow-capped peaks can be seen off in the not-too-far distance. As for the town, it is a mess. It is obvious that something strange is going on, that a battle has been taking place. Burn marks can be seen on some of the buildings. Chunks of earth have been gouged out and strewn around. Small medical tents have been erected near the entrance to the town, with Murakumo doctors aiding wounded humans. And, of course, swaths of orange flowers have sprung up in various places, from the ground to the rooftops.
Emille and the group are greeted by a member of Murakumo as soon as they step out of the ATV. The uniformed, ventilation-masked man gives a quick debriefing: the Dragon daemon, codename Sleepy Hollow, has used some sort of ability like the shedding of its wing scales to turn the people of the town against each other, verbally and physically. Murakumo is currently working on providing an antidote to this problem, both for the victims and for those gearing up to fight the Dragon. Sleepy Hollow itself has been chased off for now, but it will be back anytime.
He then points to three stations: A larger tent set up next to the smaller medical tents where the antidote is being created, a small table with a nurse outside of the medical tents, and the biggest tent of all in the center of the town where the anti-Dragon briefing is about to begin.
Which station will you join? See the toplevels below for details!]

The Samurai and Agent, still brainwashed by Sleepy Hollow's scales, attempt their own attacks against Hornet. The Samurai gets into a battle stance, but is whipped by her silk and is forced to jump back a little and thrust his sword into the ground to keep his balance. While he is recovering, the Agent is able to agilely leap over the initial wave of silk and send two shots from her twin pistols from the apex of her jump towards the bug warrior. However, she ends up landing directly on the silk, and if it's connected to Hornet...]
[Emille, on the other hand, is laying on her back in a forest clearing, her fall cushioned by a patch of orange Bloom flowers. As she has tested the Bloom immunity serum on herself, and is still wearing her ventilation mask on top of that, she is currently breathing normally. Her body is sore, the wounds sustained during the confrontation with Sleepy Hollow finally catching up with her, and she can't really see for the smoke in the area. Emille continues to lay there, hoping to arise when she can in order to finish that Dragon off. As long as Bloom flowers are still in the vicinity, it's still alive...]
just to wrap this up -- Dragon defeated!
At the moment the flowers dissipate, the body of Sleepy Hollow finally does the same, erupting in a white flash that leaves only Bloom petals in its wake. Congratulations! Imperial Dragon Sleepy Hollow has been defeated!]
[Meanwhile, Emille is back on her feet, slowly pacing towards the town. She's definitely sore, but she'll be okay. If it wasn't for the enchanted ventilation mask and other various vaccines and antidotes she's boosted her body with before the battle, she wouldn't have made it.
Clutched in her hands are a few samples she was able to take from the Dragon while battling it -- a few scales and scraps of its wing. She'll have to give some of them to President Hikasa, but there's no way she'll give all of her specimens away. Her research is just as important and viable, you know.
She'll return to the group, beaten but not broken, and they'll leave the cleanup to Murakumo. As long as the Dragon was eliminated, it was a successful battle.]
