Plot || The Star Wars Vaikuntha Special

[hatejakku]

Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post


Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~

The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

[ Ena lets Kanji go on ahead, turning to look back up at the door as it shuts and locks, intently listening to the footsteps upstairs. Her brows furrow in concern. ]

It didn't seem like there was anyone else in here when we came in. [ She muses absently. ] I sure hope this isn't some sort of trap.

[ She holds up her own light higher to try and illuminate more of the room and looks towards Kanji and the boiler. ] Have you found anything?

[hatejakku]

The boiler... gurgles, rumbling as if under pressure, before the hatch swings open and fire starts licking up towards the ceiling. There are deafening screams coming from somewhere, almost impossible to tell, and banging coming from the door above. This doesn't look good, needless to say.

[topgun_textiles]

Uhhh, the- the boiler is bein' weird... if this keeps up this place is burning down with us in it. Let's bust down the door!

[Yeah, fuck this boiler, time to go!]

[rivieran]

[ Right. If there's anywhere they don't want to be when a fire breaks out, it's right next to the source of it.

When she glances up at the door, she realizes that...she probably won't be able to break it down. She's not very strong. So instead, she strides forward. ]

Go ahead and try to knock that door down. [ Her voice is commanding as she switches her asterisk to Black Mage. The light on her sword vanishes, but who needs it when there's a fire? ] I'll see if I can't keep this in check for now.

[ She sends a torrent of water with Water Mastery at the boiler. Hopefully that'll do the trick... ]

[hatejakku]

The fire the boiler produces goes out thanks to the water spell. Ena could probably spy the two Grey Crystals inside... right before the fire erupts again, seemingly trying to reach for her.

Meanwhile, the door bursts open before Kanji can reach it, overwhelming darkness on the other side that seems to be producing some awful, grinding noise.

[topgun_textiles]

On it! [He hurried to the door. He could smell the water magic building- familiar from his own mastery of it- and was sure she could keep that handled.]

[But it's when the door bursts open that he's not sure of anything anymore. The darkness, the grinding are all too familiar to him after facing off against so many foes both here and back home, but what did it all mean?]

[He ignited a Spellblade (Elemental): Fire to light the path.]

Show yourself, damn it!!

[rivieran]

[ Ena's eyes widens when she sees the crystals. ] I-- [ She's just about to tell him what she found when the fire bursts to life again and there comes that awful grinding noise.

She winces, but also grateful for Kanji's light. She winds up another Water Mastery for another go, hopefully flooding the furnace long enough to keep the fire out. ]

[hatejakku]

The water overwhelms the boiler again, the fire going out a second time and seeming to be soaked. There might be several seconds before it ignites again since Ena did such a thorough job that time.

The darkness, however, is encroaching. It doesn't like Kanji's blade, though, the grinding halting in favor of piercing wails as it fails to wrap around him.

[topgun_textiles]

I said fuck off!

[He menaced with the blade, swinging in a figure eight. He had to drive it back!]

[rivieran]

[ Ena is not taking any chances with fire. While the boiler still has water in it, she casts Ice Mastery, hopefully dropping the temperature in it enough to keep it from working for a little while. And hopefully, she can then grab them quick enough to join Kanji in the fight. ]
