The Zodiac Brave Story

*Safian runs out of the way while Cassandra runs forward and stabs into the crack in its armor*

"Do they have kind words to say?" Noct asked.

Sab speared some of Noct's food on her fork and held it up to Noct, who ignored it.

~Lesalia~

L"They do not use words, exactly."

*She pulls out her sword & lays it on the table, as though she doesn't expect anyone to have a problem with this.*

L"My current weapon is the Masamune. It generally expresses relief that none of us died. When I fight monsters, I get the sense that it's regretful for senseless violence. When I fought Seraph, it was...determined is the best word for it."
----------------------------------------------
<All of you are staying in the same room?>
==========================
~Finath~

*The same thing just happens to Azuma again. Meanwhile, the Gobbledygook yields a crystal. The Chocobo runs away & heals itself some with Choco Cure.*

~1~
==========================
~Mandalia~

*The monster turns to attack her.*

Mimiru attacks the Squidraken with Pummel, after having approached it from the front.

Azuma repeats his actions, moving closer to Mimiru's position.

===================================

Taiyo: "Might as well, I guess."

"Ah, I see. That is very interesting," Noct said. Sab kind of wiggled the food in front of Noct's face and she opened her mouth and leaned in before closing it, and pushing the food away.

"Argh," Sab let out a grunt, "Why won't you just eat?"

"I like teasing you."

Sab frowned, and whispered in what she hoped sounded like a stern voice, "You're acting childish and we have guests over..."

"So, uh, tell us about your family," Mortal suggest.

~Lesalia~

*Lilith twirls her sword, resheathing it.*

L"I live in the castle with my mother & little sister. They are healers. Do Dragons have families? And Euryale, haven't you been away from home for a while? How has your own family been?"

E"...Not well."
--------------------------------------------------
<Alright. I'll be sure to tell them that.>
============================
~Finath~

*The Chocobo repeats its actions. It should be becoming apparent at this point that Azuma's strategy is completely retarded. Mimiru kills a Squidraken.*

~3,0~

Mortal tried to think for a second, "I suppose I do indeed have a few hatchings out there, but I don't know of any personally, and I doubt they'd call me mom."

Zac just looked at Mortal, not sure how to take that. Even Noct and Sab looked at Mortal a bit oddly.

Taiyo: "Thank you."

Taiyo sets off to her room whenever she's told which one it is.

===================================

Mimiru goes to meet up with Azuma and handle the chocobo picking on him.

Azuma continues using Hi-Potions, moving in Mimiru's direction. He ends facing the Black Chocobo so as to take less damage from its attacks.

~Lesalia~

*Euryale & Lilith just look thoughtful.*

L"I see. So--"

E"Uh, do you have any interests besides Samurai...ing?"

L"The word for my techniques is Iaido. And now that you mention it...no, it's silly, forget about it."
===========================
~Finath~

*Since they don't do anything, the Black Chocobo just attacks again. As it has been slowly whittling off HP, because it does MORE THAN THE HI-POTION RESTORES, Azuma dies. The Squidraken way out in the water crystallizes.*

~2~
-3-

Mortal frowned, "Well, now I'm interested. What is it?"

In the room, Taiyo undresses to whatever amounts to panties in this setting, putting the new outfit on a chair or whatever piece of furniture is available and dons the top of her previous outfit and climbs into bed, falling asleep.

===================================

Mimiru lets out and exasperated sigh and uses Chakra on herself before moving to Azuma's corse.

~Lesalia~

*Lilith looks down at her feet. They seem larger & clumsier than usual.*

L"(...Iwanttotakeupdancing.)"
===========================
~Finath~

*The Black Chocobo attacks her with Choco Balls. The other Chocobo stays behind to heal itself.*

~1~
-2-

Mimiru uses Revive on Azuma.

"Do you now?" Noct said, a bit enthused, "You're interested in dance?"

Zac smiled a bit at Lilith's shyness, and put a hand on her shoulder, "I think you'd be a great dancer."

~Lesalia~

L"I...I don't know...I'm not sure I'd be any good at it...."
=============================
~Finath~

*Since he just sat there, the Black Chocobo killed him with another Choco Balls. The other Chocobo heals itself once more, then starts heading back for Mimiru.*

~0~
-1-

Mimiru uses Revive again. Azuma downs a Hi-Potion and moves behind Mimiru so they're back to back.

"I don't see why not," Noct said, "You're nice and slender, and you've got to have grace to use a weapon, so I know you'll be able to maintain rhythm. I could show you a thing or two, if you want. Or, uh, contact a few tutors I know of, if you want something with a more professional air."

~Finath~

*This tactic isn't much better, as the Black Chocobo only has to fly to his side to pelt him with more balls, & now the Chocobo is running at him, pecking at him. The remaining Squidraken corpse yields a crystal.*
============================
~Lesalia~

*Lilith looks up.*

L"You would do that? For me?"

*Euryale is wondering if the fact that she fights unarmed & is stockier means that she'd be a shitty dancer.*

Mimiru uses Chakra on the two of them. Azuma moves behind the Chocobo and attacks. Mimiru follows, so she's beside him.

OOC: Being stocky isn't doing her any favors...

"Sure," Noct said, "I love dancing. It is what I do. Plus you're not so bad. You make my brother happy and you're down to earth. It could be fun." She smiled genuinely.

*Once at a safe distance, Safian begins to charge Ice again. Cassandra slashes again*

OOC: What's that supposed to mean?

~Lesalia~

Not so bad...?

*Lilith shakes off that question.*

L"Thank you. I would love for you to teach me a few moves."
===========================
~Finath~

*This works a bit better, but Azuma is still critically wounded.*
===========================
~Mandalia~

*For the time being, the Hydra ignores Safian, counterattacking & slipping behind Cassandra to attack again. Again.*

OOC: Was just trying to rustle your jimmies.

"Awesome," Noct said, before grabbing Sab's fork and eating the food before she could try and entice her with it again. "So," Noct said after swallowing, "What interests you about dancing."

Mimiru uses Chakra on the both of them again and Azuma attacks the Chocobo again.

*Cassandra turns to parry, while Safian continues to charge Ice*
