Hollow Plot: [open]

[yokeye]

WHAT: Open prompts for Toki's sister hollow wandering around. Prompt for Rex to take her down.
WHEN: January 31st and beyond
WHERE: In Soleil, on the road to Daybreak, on campus

Prompts in comments. Open to anything you want with her pre-Rex, but ultimately she's going to end up an experiment and destroyed. As for who the hollow is likely to go after, that's up in the air.

[Even though it seemed a bit like a person, they certainly didn't move the way this one did. Ren removed his twin weapons from his sleeves: modified guns/knives that he called Stormflower.

Taking a deep breath, he leaped from his concealment, sticking to shadows before stopping in front of her. Can he get a good look from this vantage point?]

[yokeye]

[She merely tilts her head at his appearance. If he steps closer, she will reveal her mangled hollow form in anticipation of attack. However, now she regards his odd weapons as nothing more than accessories. She'll keep up her act to begin with.]

Might you direct me to Daybreak Academy?

[She knows she's on the right road already. She doesn't need help.]

[nevernoaction]

So you can wreck it? No thank you.

[A few more steps reveals that his alarm is well placed. What...what is this? He can't even begin to fathom what kind of creature this is. But he shakes off any hesitation about attacking.

He starts to fire the gun parts of his weapons, trying to hit anything vital.]

[yokeye]

[She doesn't have time for this nuisance. Red smoke ascends from the eye of her wolf mask, and she doges his attacks and is suddenly directly in front of him, inches away, her hand reaching for his throat.]

You are... in my way...

[Her voice is low and gravelly, with an unearthly echo. She had escaped the girl and her daemon; this mere child would not deter her further.]

[nevernoaction]

[Ren might not have a boatload of strength like an adult. But he does possess a natural affinity for agility. It allows him to contort his body enough to avoid the hand reaching for him and roll away, although he does feel some of his hair getting yanked out in the process.

Can he just maintain his distance and attack? Or have a moment to get some backup? He doesn't really know what she's capable of at the moment.]

[yokeye]

[He's more capable than she assumed. After the earlier events, she's ready to tear this boy apart if needed. The daemon had ripped out of a piece of her essence and the rage lingers still. She does not hesitate to go after Ren with a growl, striking out again and lunging at him, intent on tearing his heart out.]

[nevernoaction]

[Ren doesn't regret taking on a danger on their campus. He does regret not getting help. But there's nothing to be done about it now, except dodge around and fire off his twin Stormflower weapons when he has a clear shot.

In a quick moment, when he has a clear line of sight, he slaps his palm against the ground and uses his Flame power, the power of calm to race to the attacker. He's tried this once or twice on enemies without much success. He doesn't need it to completely work, but he's hoping he can interrupt and stop her rage long enough to get away. Does it work?]

[yokeye]

[Her movements are slowed by a sudden dampening of the rage she felt; it's still there, only the change in intensity throws her off momentarily. This boy has something interesting, and her contemplation over it has given him time; whether to launch another attack or flee.]

[nevernoaction]

[It must have worked. Just a tiny bit. And that's all he needs in order to run away and get some help. He's not letting this thing trash his school!]
