Fandom Dashing through the Lane

[PopcornPie]

Yuchino was still confused. "But you're not a ship..." Her eyes moved up and down Jupiter's body. "You don't look anything like one. You look just like me." She looked at the framed photos, wondering if her eyes were tricking her. Just dwelling on the turrets growing from their backs made Yuchino's spine hurt. "How do you fit those turret thingies in your bodies?" Unfortunately for the curious child, she would have to hear about technology before her question about anatomy would be answered.

It was all bungling up Yuchino's mind. Recording? Like writing down? Ratings? Like an explorer's reputation in the community? They could see all across the world, all from that little box? "You're sure no magic is involved? That sounds really magical to me. Like what Nao would use to watch us from the Soul Stream."

"I would know magic, if there is one." A man's voice suddenly speaks, coming from behind Yuchino. "I've been observing you... Lot, for quite some time now." He continues. And if Yuchino were to look back, she would see a plain Asian man of average height, but his highlights are his dark long wavy locks, and faint scars on his face. The man is wearing a plain white t-shirt with a design of a pizza, and forest green baggy shorts. In some Asian countries, he might be referred to as an 'uncle' for his appearance. But something is off. There are black wave-like shadows emitting through the man's entire body. "I've been to many worlds, and they have many different names." He explains. "Ship girls, I call them." If Yuchino were to continue looking at the strange man, she would see his expression suddenly change, as he cracks open a deranged smile that produced a cracking sound, and fangs for teeth. Tar would slip from the gaps between his fangs, and Yuchino would hear faint cries of a woman. It would seem like forever. However, the man would turn back to normal, as if she just had an hallucination. And barely even a second has passed. It would be best for Yuchino to dismiss any thoughts about this man, and she should stay away from him as much as she can. "Anyway, call me however you want... Humanity has given me many names." He tells her. "I'm the Devil."

Yuchino stood there, and blinked...then she hissed, her lips pulled back, and her eyes wide. "MMMMEEEEEYYYAAAAAAAA!" She jumped off the couch and ran for it, like an upset donkey. Tears flowed from her eyes as she galloped for her life, not even bothering to get back on two legs. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" She spilled over everything in her path, slamming against walls like a housefly, all until she found the exit.

She would come back for her quill later; for now, she was simply to run for it.

 

[RedLight]

The Devil watches Yuchino make a run for... Well, whatever it was that she saw. He looks at you—yes, YOU, from the screen—and winks. The Devil suddenly pulls out a bottle of beer out of nowhere. He wasn't holding anything prior to this, nor he could've pulled it out from one of his short's pocket due to its size. But the Devil just has a bottle of beer now. He cracks the lid open, making that sizzling sound. The Devil takes a quick sip, before cracking open a small grin, showing what it seems to be fangs for teeth, and tar flowing down a few seconds after. Confirming that her 'hallucination' might've not been a hallucination at all.

 

[Crow]

"Well you see, I..."

That was when the one who called himself The Devil came by, his mere presence causing Yuchino to flee.

Jupiter would sport a crossed expression if she wanted to exert her muscles.

"You are not supposed to be here... this is a girl's dorm... and you are not invited..."

"Is something the matter?"

From behind Azazel, someone appeared.

"I heard a screaming from here. What happened?"

RedLight


Meanwhile, Yuchino would bump into someone. As both parties fell, she would see someone kneel and grin at her.

"Well, this is interesting. What are one of you Royal Navy girls doing in Ironblood territory? That outfit.. you're a Zerstorer, aren't you?"

P PopcornPie


Meanwhile, at the canteen where the main group is...

"He's stealing our thing, Ikazuchi," Inazuma says, looking at YOU, the Roleplayer and audience.

"Just ignore him, Inazuma, everyone does that these days," Ikazuchi responds.​

 

[PopcornPie]

"Um...Um..." Yuchino was reduced to a shy, whimpering stray before a stranger. Well, at least that terrifying "Devil" was gone, and his screaming lady was, too. As a reminder of the encounter, a drop of hot, stick tar laid on her cheek. She just kept squeaking, trying to demonstrate that there were no turrets growing out of her back.

Crow

 

[RedLight]

The wave-like shadows emitting from the Devil's body begins to dissipate, then he looks back behind him, as he feels the presence of another grow near. His deadpan eyes grow slightly bigger, perhaps in surprise. "Well, hello, you." The Devil greets the white-haired maid, with a smile—with normal set of human teeth this time. "What happened? I don't know, but I'm guessing 'me' happened." He humorously answers her. "Call me however you like." The Devil introduces himself to the maid—Belfast—while extending his arm for a handshake. He looks at her with interest, and with intentions unknown.

[Crow]

"You don't talk a lot, do you? I'll just have to find a way then!" the woman lifts Yuchino up with a grin and takes her into a dark grey-hued building. "Ahahahahaha!"

P PopcornPie


"I apologize, but it appears that it is as she says - this is a Girls' Dormitary. I will have to escort you out," she continues to smile as she reaches for that handshake, "not very direct with your name, I see? Perhaps I shall call you 'Red' until you are prepared to be direct. That is the hue in your eyes, after all."

RedLight​

 

[PopcornPie]

"H-huh?" Yuchino shivered like a twig in a hurricane. There was only one thing this woman could be referring to: Interrogation!

"Noooo!" She kicked and squirmed in the lady's arms, feeling her organ swelling with all the emotion she had stored.

Crow

 

[RedLight]

"Oh! The color of my eyes? Well, then... Watch this." The Devil replies to Belfast, as he gets his face closer to her face, making her view his eyes clearer. His eyes' pupils turn dark, shifting. "Call me 'black' now?" The Devil giggles. And then his eyes would somehow start looking like a mirror, reflecting her face clearly. The Devil grins menacingly. "Call me... Belfast?" He puts an abrupt end to their short interaction, and walks towards the nearest exit. If Belfast were to look where the Devil is heading, he would be nowhere to found, as he had just vanished in thin air. Leaving nothing but a feather with the same shade as her hair, but with marks of fresh blood. As to how the Devil knows Belfast's name... We may never know.

This building was darker-looking on the inside than the last.

"Hmmm... where will I place you?"

"Deutschland, what are you doing," someone nears the two. This individual was signified by large mechanical arms.

"I know exactly what I'm doing, Spee! I am going to show my little servant what this Royal Navy intruder is doing, intruding on Ironblood territory! He will give her the rightful punishment for trespassing! Ahahahaha!"

"Will he now? I'm not sure if it's that serious."

"It's deathly serious! That's why his normally docile self will resort to performing the most dastardly of punishments! If I'm lucky, maybe I will be given the honour of executing it...

... wait, why do I need to wait for orders from that lowly beast? I can just do it right now! Myself!"

"Why is this necessary, exactly?"

P PopcornPie


"Hmmm... I have to go find her... find Yuchino..." Jupiter says.

"Shall I accompany you?" Belfast asks.

Jupiter simply nods as they head out, venturing to find Yuchino.

"Hmmm... where could she have gone?"

RedLight (maybe)​

 

[PopcornPie]

Yuchino shuddered like upset jelly as the two strangers debated over her execution. The one she was brought to had the most terrifying metal arms, similar in size and shape to Lapatido. She would never forget watching arms just like those uproot her farmland like it was moss off a tree!

"Mew...meww..." She began to whimper, tears welling up in her eyes. As her organ struggled to take in the sadness, it had to push out the old emotions. First, the anger made her physically stronger, motivating her to keep wiggling free. Then the embarrassment made Deutschland's vision hazy and discolored, making Yuchino look like an icky colored blur. The fear she gained from the tar-dripping man would come last, and Yuchino created another shockwave.

Because she had released so many powers at once, Yuchino felt sick; her organ ached and she could barely right herself.

Crow

 

[Crow]

"Aaaugh... Spee, I don't feel so good..."

The other just sighs.

"Let's get you checked, then we will check the house and hopefully repair it."

As Yuchino made a run for it, she would find herself in the outdoors again. The most unfortunate of events played out, however, as she prepared to ram into the middle of a duel. A pair of swords were almost going to ram into the middle of her skull, before they halted mere millimetres away from her skin, allowing strong gusts of darkness and wind to smack into her cheeks and and knock her down as part of the blowback.

"Ah! That was a close one! We should continue our duel later. Right now, we should take her to our Commander! He knows what to do!"

"My evil sword has been honed enough for today," the other responds, "we shall find the Commander immediately then."

The tanned one picks Yuchino up. "Can you speak?"

Once the group reached the Canteen, Tohka and Artoria would have already reached a table before they started mowing down the food prepared there. Surprisingly, they were eating fast, and alot, that as soon as they went through ten whole pies each, they both reached for the last pie between them, before they looked each other in the eyes, and Sparks flew between them.

"Excuse me, but I touched it first."
"No, I believe I should get it first because I touched it first."
"What?! I'm still hungry though! You already ate ten pies!"
"That's exactly what I was going to say to you you stupid princess!"
"Did you just call me princess?!"
"Indeed I did! What are you going to do about it?!"

Uh oh.

[Crow]

"Who eats Stargazy Pie like that?"

"Nyeeheehee... there's a first for everything."

"Can you really remain calm in a situation like this?"

"Ooooh no," Z23 says, before stepping between the two to intervene, "I'm not losing our base of operations today, so you two are going to need to get along one way or another and not fight in the middle of a populated area."

As they argued, and no one was looking, Laffey sneakily grabs and gobbles their pie down whole, leaving no evidence of it behind.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" Kankichi notices Laffey eating the pie without someone's permission. "Haven't anyone notice it!?" He asked as he is the only one to have seen the evidence.

"You saw it too right?" He asked Z23.

[PopcornPie]

Yuchino continued to stumble like she had gotten drunk on castor oil, gagging as she pushed away bushes. She was too groggy to care what she would run into next; She finally put enough trust into someone to speak full sentences, and look what happened. That place turned out to be haunted.

Really, Yuchino just wanted a safe place to doze off. Unfortunately, what she found was a pair of blades shoved in her face. "Kee!" She squeaked weakly, ducking away. How much more would she have to face? "Please, I just want to sleep..."

Just this once, she let herself be picked up. Maybe she would be returned to Jupiter, and Jupiter would know what to do about the odd man, so they could both sleep soundly.

"Where is he?" the tanned one asked, looking about. "I don't see him!"

"We will ask around for his whereabouts."

As they begin to walk away, they hear a faint cry.

"Yuchino!"

"Did you hear that?"

"Dedicate yourself to the task at hand."

P PopcornPie


"Yuchino!"

"Yuchino?"

Jupiter and Belfast look around the base for her.

"This... this is all that devil man's fault..." Jupiter clenched her fists, but halted after a while. She then looks at a vague, small shape in the distance.

"Yuchino... being carried by those Vichy Destroyers! We found her!"

However, as she ran towards the source, she would find that neither Yuchino nor those carrying her were in sight.

"I... thought I saw her here..."

RedLight


"Saw wha- wait where'd the pie go?" Z23 was confused.

[PopcornPie]

Yuchino hung limp from Tanned Girl's arms like a teddy bear, not caring who they were looking for. Another commander to worry about. Whoop-de-doo.

Something did excite her slightly, however, far off into the distance. Somebody was calling her name, someone she thought she would recognize. Alas, her mind was too frazzled to pinpoint it exactly. Still, it sounded sincere enough that she should follow it. But Tanned Girl was holding her firmly enough that she couldn't escape. As the two destroyers took her away, she released a faint howl. "Meeeeeeeewoooooooooooo..."

Crow

 

[RedLight]

Way, way above Yuchino and her Destroyer group, up in the naked sky, is the Devil himself. This time he has massive bird-like wings, as dark as night, but he is without any clothing. The Devil just stares upon them, with his now dark, yet still reflecting, eyes. Even from afar, no one is hidden from his terror. The Devil takes a drink from his beer bottle. A simple sip.

"She can't have gotten far..." Jupiter says.

"Entry in and out of the area is gated. She is definitely within the confines of the place."

"I... wanted her to join me... in our little sleepover..."

"With how fast she moves, I think more people on the job should do the trick. Sheffield has seen her, so I will recruit her aid."

"... thank you... Belfast..."

"Only doing my duty."

The heard a yelp.

"Is that her?"


Meanwhile, back with Yuchino, our girls have found their way to the main group, poor timing, seeing that Saber and Tohka were in the middle of a conflict.

"Le Malin! Le Mars! I thought you'd be dueling by now- ooooh. Oh no. What happened?"

"We are glad we found you, Commander," the tanned one, Le Mars, says, "I thought you'd know what to do!"

"Isn't that the one who ran away at the sight of the Great Shark. She hasn't actually formally introduced herself. She was originally with the group."

"Oyoyo? I thought Belfast has gotten her handled. If she can slip past even the most capable of Royal Navy maids, she must be very, very, slippery," the blonde Commander spoke, "this is what happens when you run away from the embrace of safety - getting into danger, after danger, after danger."

"I was using my powers of darkness during the duel when she collided into us, so she might have been affected by my poison croix," the other, Le Malin, adds.

"This might be bad. I'll postpone the little thing I had with Akashi to tomorrow," the redheaded Commander sighs, "Le Malin's Poison Croix is a temporary tactic for her fellow KAN-SEN, but for humans... well...

Let's just say that some things that are but flesh wounds and irritations to KAN-SEN - bullets, explosives, fires, and even poisons - may be fatal to humans."

Laffey looks about.

"Someone's there."

As she was presented to a whole pack of people, Yuchino hunched her head into her shoulders, squeaking softly. How many of these people were people she even saw on the island? Not many. Apparently, lots of people had seen her.

Being helplessly dangled in front of people as they talked about the impression she'd left on them gave Yuchino an uncomfortable feeling, like she was a celebrity who hadn't really done anything to get famous. And she especially didn't like them bringing up her fleeing from the Great White Shark. She was merely following her survival instincts!

So, overall, she wasn't that interested in the conversation. Uninterested, that is, until a certain word came into the air. "Poison!?"

Crow

 

[Crow]

"Indeed, poison. You are not stabbed, so if anything, only the miasma was present to be spread on your skin," the redheaded Commander looks to Yuchino, "tell me, do you currently feel anything? Where do you feel it?"

P PopcornPie​

 

[PopcornPie]

"Meeeeeew..." The thought of being poisoned had Yuchino shivering as she felt herself all over. She couldn't remember what part of herself was closesr to the blades. She thought it was her cheek? In the darkness, it was too hard to tell. She did, however, feel a little itchiness on the side of her waist, and realizing that gave her a heart attack.

An unspecified amount of time later...

"Well, it's fortunate that we have the antidote for the poison. Backup plans will forever be relevant, nya," Akashi says, tending to Yuchino on a hospital bed of sorts.

"So we don't have to go on a quest to retrieve it?" Inazuma asks.

"Well, Inazuma, that would imply one of two things nya. One - we're unprepared; incompetent. Two - it happens so often that running out is within possibility, which would also imply that we're unprepared and incompetent. With the poison cleared, and whatever remains being easily washed out of her system, there isn't much for her to do but rest."

"Thanks, Akashi," the redheaded Commander spoke, "well, I believe it's pretty late now. So why not we start arranging where you all will sleep and call it a night?"
