Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help. Welcome to Awash's sixth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well.

[Yusuke narrows his eyes and pulls out his daggers then, shifting his grip on them, fingers flexing around the hilts.]

Understood. Let us go.

[He breaks away from Keith then, moving soft and quiet.]

[lonered]

[Sword out and awakened, and Keith cuts hard to the right, no swinging wide, just coming straight at it. He'll draw its attention as best he can to give Yusuke a chance to get a clear shot at it.

He makes no attempts at stealth or quiet, letting his blade flash in its violet glow, and leaping straight for the creature with a sharp cry, meant to focus it on him.]

[bufudyne]

[Yup. That's Keith. Look at him go.

Yusuke quickly goes to cut in on the other side, his daggers flashing in his grip as he darts at it from behind. The blades strike true and sink into the flesh of its back as it howls and thrashes.]

[lonered]

[Barreling in headfirst. There's his life story's tagline really. But Keith trusts Yusuke to follow up and catch the beast off guard. He's sparred with Yusuke, knows how good he is, so there isn't a shred of doubt in him.

And he's rewarded for this faith when Yusuke catches the wolf with his blades. Good. Keith brings his own sword around hard to deliver another blow, and by now the creature is not enjoying this, even if it's definitely still on its feet.]

[bufudyne]

Stubborn, [Yusuke murmurs mostly to himself, ducking a werewolf arm that swings wide in his direction.

A faint blue fire flares as he raises his hand up, ripping off his mask with a decisive motion. His Persona appears behind him, a faint sound of bells sounding as ice explodes up one of the werewolf's legs.]

There. That shall slow it down more.

[lonered]

[Keith is, for the record, still not used to the whole Persona thing at all. But he's gotten used to just going with whatever weird he runs into. Because there has been so much of it in his life since the moment he left Earth.

That said.]

Not bad.

[He nods.] Reminds me of the Blue Lion. [The... freezy thing. Anyway.]

I think slowing them down might be the best we can do for now.

[bufudyne]

[Yusuke tilts his head curiously, questioningly, Blue Lion what?

Either way, another blast of ice and the werewolf's legs are solidly frozen in place, the beast's head free so it can howl angrily.]

Slow down or deter, [he agrees.] I believe I can be quite good at both.

[lonered]

Heh. Definitely looks like you can.

[Keith is impressed, okay? He takes a moment to look at the werewolf.]

None of these things should even be possible.

[This whole town should be impossible.]

[bufudyne]

It makes me wonder how many more creatures from fairytales shall make an appearance.

[Yusuke tilts his head consideringly.]

[lonered]

Considering the fairy tales I remember, there are way too many unpleasant options.

[Have they seen dragons and demons and ogres yet? Keith would be fine avoiding any of those particular encounters or several others he could list off if pressed.]

...guess we should keep going?
