Huffing and puffing after the enemy had finally been finished off, Red took a few seconds to himself to recollect himself. This had been the first time he'd engaged in- well, non-mech combat, in a good long while, and it had been pretty physically taxing. He leaned against the wall and looked up...
Red barely managed to raise his shield as the enemy's swing came about, and due to the late reaction, he received a somewhat nasty cut across the left arm that was holding the shield. But, the barely-successful attempt at an attack left for him to have an opening to the mask- hopefully, very...
KA-CHUNK, KA-CHUNK, KA-CHUNK-
Elh suddenly needed to hold on to the bottomside of her seat- the carriage began violently shaking before slowing to a halt. She heard yelling outside- insidious sounds of danger and distress. She looked to the vampire- nothing, still. Whatever, that didn't...
And so, Red swung downwards, all the force he could muster at once and-
KER-TANG!
What in the world was that?! He just barely stuck the landing on his boots, nearly falling over forward flat on his face, before looking up above him. He'd only happened to cut the side of the mask, but the...
Enemy down! Not only that, but Red also, after a short amount of time, felt someone approach, and whatever it was they did, he felt much, much better afterwards. He turned to his side to see- someone. Presumably one he'd just not spoken much with yet. Some type of magician, at any rate. He...
Red was taken advantage of for his slow start that he spent trying to get to the front of the crowd, and paid the price. On his body, the magician caused a smattering of cuts across his body- small ones, but in the large number, they hurt quite a lot. He struggled to push through the rest of...
"Oh, no, no need to apologize. It's good to let things out, and it was fascinating to hear about, no matter how sad it might've also been."
She gave him a warm smile, and adjusted herself to stop slouching. Her energy was... Alright now. Bodily and magically. Of course, she'd need some food or...
"All your homes sound really neat! I guess not all things are too different between Japan and the Shepard Republic- we've got a lot of acting, and even cherry blossom trees too! Why we do, I'll not know, but I guess it might've just been something we carried to the skies with us."
Red was just...
"Essence of God, huh? Sounds pretty intense, that makes me feel pretty comfortable about having you around! You got any magic like some of the fellows here do, too?"
The dog continued trotting happily, somewhat carelessly, even, along them, hanging more towards the back of the pack to as to...
Red, not the smartest tool in the shed, wasn't quite as concerned as the others. Eager to help and more than happy to get his hands dirty, he waved towards those who were entering to rest and stood his ground outside the gates, eager to get back to scouting. Perhaps it was some strange...
Well, there's the fellow from before. He seems just as cheery as before but that's better than him being angry. Red supposed that they'd be deciding the half of them that'd be staying until they found the last individual who was presumably locked in a chest elsewhere. Sitting back wasn't Red's...
Oh, a secret from their guard? What could that be? Had he found another way to sneak in? Probably not, if they did, they'd be spotted very quickly... But something told Red that might not be quite beyond the guy with the gun. He voiced his opinion to the group once the humans had gotten done...
"There we go, thank you for backing me up guys! And I'll keep that name in mind, Plague Knight, sorry 'bout all the nicknames before! It looks like we've got a mission to go about now!"
He was extremely pleased to see the wall-cannon retract, even despite the Plague Knight's somewhat rude...
"Oh for the love of- is EVERYONE on Earth going to be like this? No wonder you all are separated from the Shepard Republic, half of you are looneys!"
He raised his shield, AGAIN, but this time, caring somewhat less. He knew that if he stepped away, there wouldn't be any shots fired, this was...
