The daemon base was large, a massive obsidian skull carved from the base of a black, foreboding mountain within the Outlands and surrounded by a forest of dead trees. This was inevitable, as accompanying faculty could explain. As much as it could influence the human world, the Outland was heavily influenced and shaped by human thought and culture. Weaker daemons, such as those within the base, would find their personality, forms, and even desires inexorably shaped by the thoughts of humanity and what was perceived humans would expect and fear.

The focus of the two main assault groups would be the clearing of the main hall and the lower dungeons. The groups will be divided as follows:

Main Hall:
Ky
Mav
Kanata
Tyzias
Gunvolt
Bumblebee

Main Hall Support:
Toki
Kano

Dungeon:
Valvatorez
Goro Akechi
Ren
Minako
Naoki
Keith

Dungeon Support:
Ekkehardt
James

Control Room Supervisor:
Yang

To get through to the fortress proper, the students will have to make their way through the forest. This is an open log, even for those who didn’t sign up and will consist of clearing a path and fighting off living trees and mimics in the form of any number of objects that would otherwise be expected in forests such as rocks, brambles, bushes, and other foliage..

The Main Hall is lined with massive rooms full of daemons such as the banquet hall, treasure vault, and throne room where the daemon lord resides. The Daemon Lord is the target here, and he’ll be well-guarded. Beware! Many of the rooms are trapped with mimics taking the form of treasure chests, braziers, boxes, barrels, and just about any other item.

The Dungeons are where captured humans are kept and tortured. The objective is to free the humans and defeat the Jailer, a powerful Daemon who runs the chambers. Students should beware, doppelgangers are said to be commonly slipped in amongst prisoners to ferret out rebellion and will be hidden in with those who are to be rescued.

The Control Room is located in the Citadel, with a massive monitor visualizing the area with floor plans and video feeds. All students and faculty will be wearing small cameras that will record live footage, and will be wired with a communication earpiece that will let those in the Control Room communicate freely. Students working in the Control Room will be able to relay data and information, and use the powerful supercomputers to analyze items on the ground in near real-time.

[wow, useless!!!!!

...Knowing Nana's okay -- and everyone else -- does make him feel a little better, though, and his shoulders release some of their tension to show it. Even if they'd had to be fixed by weird daemon magic, at least...they'd been fixed. They'd be alright. Yep, that's okay but not getting his own problems taken care of, because that makes total sense.]


Good.

[He's trying his best!!]

So...you'll let me treat you, too? [He's not going to let this go. The school will probably have his head if he just...lets a student walk around still injured.]

[tbh Mav doesn't have a problem with the school having Hieke's head, but whateverrrr...]

I don't -- [It's too hard to cling to his anger when his arms hurt. Doing so is just giving him a headache.] I...could fucking do without the burns, I...guess.

[That's fair but also come on, Maverick.]

Just the burns? [Dryly.] I could clear up everything, if you want.

[But, as he talks, Mav will notice the peculiar sensation of cool water being poured down the back of his neck. If he thought his voice was unsettling now, it's even more so.

Still, the burns seem to be healing themselves right up.]

[he hates it!!!! he really really hates it, and his shoulders immediately scrunch with tension while his hands curl into fists, because all that is the only way he can keep himself planted firm.]

Just...the burns.

[It's through gritted teeth, and he feels another wave of hate and shame over that.]

Anything I could get in a normal fucking fight, I can deal with my own damn self, same as I always fucking have.

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-03-19 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well!! He's sorry about that!!

The tension is obvious, and Hieke feels...kind of guilty about it? He doesn't want to hurt anyone, or make them uncomfortable, but he doesn't know what he can do to make things better.

He gets the feeling whatever problem it is Mav has, it's not one he'd be able to fix.]


Just the burns. Alright.

[And it's just the burns that he'll heal. He's not going to do something like break his word.]

Everything else I leave in your hands.

[Unfortunately, the fastest solution to this problem would be to not be a daemon, and it's unreasonable to expect that of anyone -- especially on such short notice. Maverick gives a jerky little nod, and when the washed over sensation dies down, he examines the spot on his arm that had gotten the worst of the flames. All better. Simple as that.]

...Hell'd you come with on this mission, anyway?
inflictwounds: (Default)

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-03-19 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Isn't that the number one question. Hieke pauses before answering, raising an eyebrow.]

Why wouldn't I come? It's a dangerous mission, and a lot of students are going to probably end up needing medical attention.

[Sure, he hadn't wanted to come, and all of this daemon fighting is a little awkward... But at the end of the day this is where he needs to be.]

[Maybe it's the honest answer and the right answer, but not...what Mav wants to hear, because it's not the answer he can instinctually trust. There are very few answers that would have met that criteria!]

There's other people that heal. Guess they might not've been as familiar with the area.

[Wow, okay, he went there. Hieke wants to be annoyed - not all daemons are the same - but he pushes it down. That's not going to do him any favors.]

Ekkehardt is in the control room. The two of us are the only medical staff right now.

[Why didn't the academy think to hire any human help? Geez.]

...And I've never been here before.
deuteranope: (mav053)

[personal profile] deuteranope 2019-03-19 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucky for Ekkehardt, Mav does actually think he's human. He shifts his weight to one foot, then the other, thinking over his options. He's already being rude, how far does he want to push it...]

Tch. Guess it'd be pretty fucking hard to want to visit a dive like this. Assuming you got any fucking sense of taste at all.

[these daemons...are dumb]

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-03-19 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Some people get all the luck.]

Oh, absolutely. I wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this if the school wasn't insisting. It's kind of awful.

[It's really bad.]
deuteranope: (mav075)

"Kind of". Overly generous with more than offers of healing, I fucking guess.

[He's still managing to sound scathing, with these more conversational words, because even when he tries to have chill he has very little chill.]

The bulk of their shitty fucking decor decisions was inside. You see any of the shitty paintings?

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-03-20 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Truly, the worst part of all of this?

Hieke hasn't even picked up that this attitude is because he's a daemon. He just thinks Maverick is like this because he's in pain.]


Can't say I have. There hasn't been much of a reason to go inside yet.
