Fourth Wall: We Gather Here to Face the Dusk


Fourth Wall: We Gather Here to Face the Dusk
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation



With the call for aid for the advent of the Suneater, the Academy has become one of the many operational centers around the world. The school while never having been quiet by any measure is now buzzing with extra traffic as those from all walks of life and not-quite-life gathered, preparing to literally fight for the sake of the world.

Whether the added souls were new to the supernatural, old faculty and students returning to the fold, or even legends whispered of in hush voices by those in the know, all are welcomed with open arms, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere despite the grim purpose of their visit.

A. Team-Build Exercises
To help with coordinating for the massive undertaking, team-building measures have been enacted, from trust falls to tag-team spars and even trivia bowls. Everything is designed to bring the disparate groups together to build trust and understanding...with varying results.

B. Breaking Bread
With the increase number of people needing to eat, the kitchen under the helm of Chef Hendersen aka Professor Bigfoot has been bringing out food from all corners of the world and the outlands - to make people feel at home - and for the daring to try the far more exotic fare such as Baatzou Surprise or Cumulus Puff from Celestia. And as it turns out - a speciality for the adults, they found some Ambrosia - drink and be merry.

C. Shop Talk
With the experience and wisdom of all sorts of trades and specialities being brought together, it’s only natural to want to exchange information and see what new innovations or experiments has been underway, or to get into impromptu competitions over whose ideas, spells or artifice will work better, especially if there’s money or bragging rights to be had.

Wild Card
If none of these appeal, make up a prompt of your own.

((ooc: This is the first fourth-wall log before the 5th Herald and opened for ALL characters current, past and not yet here. Feel free to throw any and all characters in to get a feel or get them established before the big battle.

If you'd like to make further plans oocly, we invite you to make use of the CR meme and AU planning meme!))

[The shields work okay, but she's still hit and jostled around. She strikes back with her laser whip and tries to shoot regular and sunlight rounds at the moving ooze.]

Everyone, continue on!

[Cutting off the ooze seems to be working. Though a few puddles do manage to help reform on Bowsers, it seems like some are fleeing toward the bigger body of ooze. Of course, Bowser himself is far from finished. Kokoro attacking the ooze seems to really tick him off for some reason, as he lets out a massive roar before retreating into his shell. He begins spinning, faster and faster, launching out huge spikes from his shell that seem to regrew, only to be shot out once more. They reach high into the sky before falling back down, as if to try and limit her aerial movement.]
stavros: Kokoro with her whip. ([a] introducing)

[It's working, forcing her to focus on dodging, but he can't do this forever. She starts to shoot them out of the sky or knock them away instead, building up her power as the others attack too.]

[It's true, he can't. While she's unable to attack him or the ooze directly, the others are able to get some good hits on him and the ooze. In response he stops his launching of the spikes and instead lunges forward, still in his shell, before he lands on his side and begins spinning. He shoots himself off like a bullet, plowing through anyone that gets in his way as it seems like he's aiming for the castle itself.]
stavros: Kokoro starting up Stavros. ([a] i know how to drive)

[personal profile] stavros 2021-02-28 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, you don't!

[She positions herself in between and glows. You know, there might be a reason her Grand Cross goes sideways. So she can shoot forward -- which she very much does, pouring holy energy into it.]

[With his focus being shifted to Peach's Castle, he has no time to react. Though his shell absorbs a good portion of the damage, her Grand Cross flings him off course and sends Bowser flying into the air. He soars over the castle, eventually landing a good distance away from it on the other side. Naturally, his body leaves a crater in the landing site, but it doesn't take him long to crawl out of there. He slams his feet on solid ground once more, letting out a massive roar to call more of the black ooze towards him to help replace what was lost.]
stavros: Kokoro annoyed. ([a] what did you do)

[personal profile] stavros 2021-03-04 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Kokoro follows up, flying towards him shooting regular laser rounds.]

That substance is corrupting you! Do you not see?
