DOWNTIME MINGLE #6 (now with team building!)

DOWNTIME MINGLE #6 + TEAM BUILDING


CONTENT WARNINGS: violence, flashing imagery

β–Ά 001. STATE OF THE BASE.

It's been a suspiciously sleepy past few months back on LILITH's base. The onslaught of Transylvania has left some Outsiders with both physical and mental wounds that still may need tending to. Some may still be participating in LILITH's on base therapy services or rehabilitation services for those who needed a prosthetic, teaching Outsiders how to accommodate to their prothetics efficiently.

The Imugi eggs from last year have hatched! Two new Imugis have been taken care of in a RESTRICTED area for observation, one male and one female. The rest of the Imugi, unfortunately, did not make it. Outsiders may visit these Imugi from behind glass if they wish; this is part of the RESTRICTED area on base. Any Outsiders who might have been cleared to help with this project will see that the Imugi sleep a lot. They are mostly active at dawn and dusk, but especially for the cold season, they are sluggish and want to rest during this brumation period. Their diet are small crustaceans, snails, small fish. As of now, they harness no powers or strength. LILITH wants to keep them away from exposures, so most Outsiders will have to observe them in a nursery behind glass. Any Outsider involved in this project must be full body sterilized upon entering and exiting the nursery. This means stripped down and pressure washed with pre-made sterilization. It's not recommended to see the Imugi in person unless necessary. Their names are Noodle and RAGING MURDER TERROR TEMPEST DRAKESTORM or "Tempest" for short. These are results per the contest that was held a few months ago.

The orphanage side-project has been a success, and children misplaced from the Transylvania wreckage are properly cared for, both with Outsiders, civilian caretakers and AI robots. There is still some building and construction work to be completed, but the orphanage is livable for the children now.


On base, however, LILITH's crew, have detected some very heavy rift energy nearby, but the oddest thing is.. they can't detect where it is at exactly. They send out their researchers to try and find the source to different areas of Japan, but despite all the searching, there doesn't seem to be a rift anywhere. Could it be a glitch? Or something else? Maybe it's something harnesses rift energy? Something that moves fast and something that can disappear or camouflage. Stay tuned... and be on alert.


β–Ά 002. THE SEOK DANG GAMES: PLAYGROUND


"Aww, I missed seeing you guys have so much fun with each other! Breathe it in, the SIMULATION ARENA air! So crisp, so artificial. C'mon, let's PAR-TAY, bitches! Remember, if your teammates aren't driving you crazy, you're not doing it right!"


With Outsiders needing to be ready for whatever mission they will be tasked for yet, Seok Dang has an idea on how to build some healthy competition and get to know your teammates, especially the new ones, with some classic playground games from his homeland. Every Outsider will be asked to participate in the SIMULATION ARENA, though it has gotten a bit of make over to look like a children's playground thanks to hologram technology. Outsiders may group with whoever they like as they play these games, under one condition: the person you are playing with cannot be apart of your team! Everlight can't be against Everlight, etc.

Here are the list of games to play with one another:
Ssireium: Ssireum is similar to Japanese sumo wrestling, with two opponents wrestling each other in a sandy ring. The player who throws his opponent to the ground scores a point. Traditionally practiced as combat and self-defense, ssireum was also part of rituals conducted in the ancient tribal states. The goal is to score 5 points.

Neolttwigi: It's close enough to Korean New Year for this game, and in the year 2279, anyone can play this game, not just women. Neolttwigi is similar to seesaw, except that participants stand on each end of the neol (board) and jump, propelling the person opposite into the air. When performed as a spectacle, acrobatic tricks such as flips or skipping rope while in the air are often included. Try not to hurt yourself, but show off the most impressive stunt you can! Medics will be nearby.. just in case.

Dalgona: A Korean street food candy game where players try to carefully carve out a pre-stamped shape from a thin, honeycomb-like sugar candy without breaking it, often gaining a free candy if they succeed. The shapes Outsiders will find are modeled after the kaiju they have defeated: Shachimon, Imugi, Pricolici and Yamadenki. Shachimon is the easiest shape and Pricolici is the hardest shape. Outsiders can use any method to remove this shape from the honeycomb but will be given a needle by default.



β–Ά 003. THE SEOK DANG GAMES: SQUID

In this game, the offense must move outside the squid and around to the defensive house's bottom "gate". Once inside the squid, the offense must pass through the defensive house. To win, the offense must tap the closed-off space on the squid's head with their foot. Characters are encouraged to use any method to win against one another, which can sometimes turn violent. Use abilities or powers, it's all fair game here. There will be a buzzer at the squid's head and the offensive player must step on it.

Submit a thread or toplevel that has this prompt as part of it to be entered in an RNG elimination round. We will announce the Squid Winner overall on January 25th! Please submit your thread by January 23rd. Don't worry. Nobody dies for losing any of these games, but players are welcome to allow LILITH deduct some of their next pay out if they lose too many of these games. Some stakes are on the line!


β–Ά 004. IT'S SYNDER TIME!

It's late, one night, when a pop-up will appear on everyone's oculars. IT'S SYNDER TIME, BABES! Welcome to our Network Mingle! This is a Tinder mingle; an application that SEOK DANG has installed into everyone's implants last year and it's making a comeback. It's taken a lot of tweaking and hacking behind the rest of the LILITH crew's backs. Seems like the only person on staff who is interested in seeing Outsiders get some is SD himself. These messages are encrypted from the LILITH crew ... besides SD because he's a nosy bastard. Sounds fun.

HOW TO PLAY:
1. Pick the textarea that is under your TEAM NAME and fill out the spaces.
2. You can write the bio in character or as if Synder programmed their bio for them.
3. Body count can be confusing... even the automatic system doesn't know what that means! Does it mean how many people you have fucked or how many people you have killed? Or both?
4. PROFIT!

Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t want your character to participate, you can simply say they X'd out of the pop up.

We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun! All tags on this mingle will count for 2 points each.

(Please remember to put warnings for NSFW/triggering content in the subject header.)

β–Ά 005. AFTERWORD.

Welcome to our sixth downtime mingle! All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards January AC.

For the Seok Dang Games, please comment below the proper header to see if your character wins the SQUID GAME. Follow the instructions and form in the comment.

For the SYNDER app, characters are welcome to customize their app with different themes, as well as download sticker packs. Anything that you would typically expect to be present in a messaging app can be found!


EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. STATE OF THE BASE: The past few months on the LILITH base has been suspiciously quiet and Outsiders have enjoyed a break where they can focus on rebuilding what they may have lost in October, tend to the cultist children, and the cats in Neo Tokyo who have been suffering from rift poisoning. Unbeknownst to the Outsiders, LILITH's crew has detected some very heavy rift energy from Neo Tokyo, but are having a hard time locating where it could be coming from. LILITH instructs Outsiders to be prepared.


2. THE SEOK DANG GAMES: GAME 1: Seok Dang is growing bored and puts the Outsiders through some character building activities. He brings all of the Outsiders to the SIMULATION ARENA and provides them with four mini games to play to build character participation and interaction.


3. THE SEOK DANG GAMES: GAME 2 Seok Dang is growing bored and puts the Outsiders through some character building activities. The second game is SQUID. Submit a thread for participation!


4. SYNDER: To encourage character relationships, SYNDER has appear back online on all of the oculars and Outsiders are encouraged to fill out a profile.. or AI will do it for them.

[ Stepping up to the ring Kaga was cracking her knuckles, the real ones and the metallic ones, while the sleeves of her usual outfit retreated back thanks to a command to the nanomachines that make up her garments, leaving her arms fully bare. Her left is muscled but like Yato, on the lithe side, and her right is... well, the prosthetic. Black metal, visible doll like joints, and gold lettering running down the length of the shoulder spelling out "CVHA-1117". ]

This has been a long time coming, Yato-chan~.

[ Uh-oh is someone still mad about that little incident in the inn? Yes. Yes she is.

Kaga's flight deck appears at her side as she dons her rigging, then floats off behind her, allowing her access to her full speed and strength. Once she's prepared she touches the ground as well, charging forward to meet Yato in glorious combat!

Of course blood thirsty bitch that she is, even with a friend, while the robotic hand goes for one of Yato's to tie him up, her flesh and blood hand shoots straight for the throat.

Scary... ]
intertwinedfates: broken (55)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-16 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh shit.

Oh shit shit shit - is about the only thing that goes through Yato's mind when he spies who his next opponent is. It's pretty clear that despite his best efforts back at the inn, he hasn't gained one ounce of forgiveness for what was in fact an entirely innocent evening. It's been a week or so now, Kaga...! Hasn't her jets cooled even a little?!]


K-Kaga... J-Just remember it's a game, okay? A game--!

[But what's done is done, both from the New Year's party and here as they set about squaring off against one another in yes, glorious but potentially bloody combat. He doesn't put it past Kaga to beat the ever living stuffing out of him, despite them having almost gotten on decent terms prior to this incident.

Once Kaga's rushing at him, he braces himself, bare feet digging into the ground to gain purchase in preparation for impact. It's a good thing he does, too, because she goes for the throat, quite literally, causing him to gasp and cough almost immediately while trying to fend off her other arm. His flesh hits metal, clanging loudly and causing him to wince a little, but her still manages to prevent her from pinning him down, at least for now.]


K..Kaga...! [Said in a choked voice, because damn she's got him soundly.] D'ya really gotta do this...?
harboredfeelings: (31)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-16 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
A game?! Take this seriously!

[ To her this is a battle! One she's happy to be involved in because not only are her tails wagging, she's grinning like a maniac. Um... fair warning Yato, blood thirsty Kaga is dangerously close to the surface right now. ]

Ugh, seriously?! [ Stated as her hand closes around his throat and he smacks at her metal arm. That grin turns into a snarl as Kaga bodily shoves Yato back, letting go of his throat as she does so... and leaping up to aim a kick at his midsection.

That's. Not part of wrestling. But uh... yeah. ]


You're a damn god! Fight me! If you hold back I'll cripple you just to make a point.

[ Good luck with that, buddy. ]

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-16 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ack--! Yes, ma'am...!

[So much for getting out of this without too much trouble, huh.... He certainly wouldn't have equated a form of sumo with a battle, but then, he's no currently in bloodthirsty mode. Which might have to change if he's to have any chance of survival at this rate. He doesn't want to get maimed OR die, thank you kindly...!]

Ngh...! Shit... [Double shit when she almost cuts off his air supply, leading his eyes to widen with some mixed emotions; maybe fear, maybe surprise, definitely a hint of arousal, if the blush is anything to go by... Stumbling back from her shove, a hand instantly flies up to rub his throat while he coughs a few times, then lets out a grunt from her slamming a foot into his solar plexus.

He falls back a few more paces, coming dangerously close to the edge of the arena before regaining his balance and lifting his head to level a glare at her, lip curled back in a feral snarl.]


I am a god...! I won't let you maim me--!

[And just like that, it's as though a switch has been flipped: he lunges forward, throwing a punch at her jaw and following it up with a knee to the gut. They're totally breaking the rules at this point, but... nobody's daring to stop them, with good reason.]
harboredfeelings: (33)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ What's with that expression as he stumbles back?! Is the he enjoying her beating the crap out of him?! Ugh, Creator's sake he's the absolute worst someti---

That thought is interrupted by Yato's fist connecting squarely with her jaw and his knee landing the follow up right to her gut, driving the air out of her in a coughing gasp. Kaga staggers backwards, doubled over and clutching her stomach. Her entire body shaking...

She's laughing. It's not the cute(?) fox laugh either, it's a full on demented giggle. When Kaga straightens up she's fired up, literally, her eyes are glowing and her tails ignite into blue flame.

The worst part is Yato isn't the only one who just had a Reaction... and if he ever found out she'd have to kill him. Multiple times. But right now she's going into fight mode anyway, so he's "safe". ]


You won't let me? As if you'll have a choice!

[ With her own expression set into a maddened grin Kaga rushes forward to reengage with Yato. Her right hand flexes open, the metal claws hidden in the fingertips springing out, and she takes a swipe at him, throwing her momentum into the blow and turning with it so she can follow up by batting at him with her blazing tails. They are decidedly not fluffy and soft, they are on fire. ]
intertwinedfates: shock dork (149)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Bit of a masochist, this one, it must be said. There's a reason for it, but... that's for another time. Right now they've got a battle to attend to, lest he get his ass handed to him.

It's been a while since Yato's gone all out - since Brasov, to be honest - and though he's not quite so far gone as he was then, as Kaga should be able to tell thanks to his lack of black sclera, he's definitely not fooling around this time.

Her laughter makes him bristle in warning; he can tell an unhinged laugh from a more innocent one. She's getting serious now too, huh...? Must be, since that flame likely isn't just for show.

Safe from one maiming, set for another... Just his luck, honestly. But hey, hopefully Kaga won't return him as a pretzel to Hiyori at least. At least let them get married first, dammit...!]


You think too highly of yourself!

[As they clash for a second time, Yato's taken by surprise thanks to the sudden appearance of the claws, which leave shallow slashes across his skin due to him just barely managing to dodge in time. There's no escape from the tails, however, and they slam into him with a burning sensation that leaves him struggling to dance away and pat out the fire all over his person, yelping all the while.]

Hot hot hot hot--!
harboredfeelings: (36)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ A masochist fighting a sadomasochist. Gee and Hiyori thought Yato getting drunk with Akagi was bad...

For Kaga's part she hasn't been able to go all out at all since arriving! She kind of got kidnapped, messed up, and bed ridden for her entire first mission, she had to let her planes do all the work. Now though? Being able to get stuck in, even if it is "friendly" competition, she's living for it. ]


Better than thinking too little of myself, Ya-to-chan~

[ Did she just trill his name? She did. She's still grinning like a maniac while Yato dances away, taking a moment to lick the small droplets of blood off the tips of her claws.

She's not a vampire anymore, of course, she's just like this. ]


It shouldn't matter if you're a god of fortune or a god of battle, you should conduct yourself with some damn backbone.

[ She starts to approach again, this time at a leisurely walk, clicking her metallic claws together as she goes. Her tails are still very much on fire and swaying about almost with a mind of their own, all while she clicks her tongue at Yato. ]

Tsk, a little fire and you're dancing around like a fool. I can't believe Nee-sama wasted her time with you...
intertwinedfates: blush talk (224)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[At least the sexual tension is comparatively low this time around??

If all Kaga wanted was someone to go all out on, all she had to do was ask...? The threats were entirely unnecessary! ...okay, maybe not. Without them, Yato may have held back. Though he's still not quite as unhinged as Kaga, thankfully - no maniacal laughter on his part. Plenty of sour grumping, though, especially when she calls him out like that.]


Tch... I'd rather have a minute ego than one that weighs me down.

[Noooo don't lick his blood off your claws, Kaga...! T-That's hot, okay... It makes his face heat up again and reminds him far too much of when Hiyori was crossing over into an ayakashi: terrifying yet attractive all at once.]

I-- I have backbone, dammit...! [Kinda. Sometimes.] I just choose when to utilize it...

[Still brushing himself off, he huffs at her and then regains a proper battle stance, feet sliding into position. He could break out his weapons, but right now everything is currently hand-to-hand and he doesn't feel like being accused of cheating. He may be pathetic and spineless, but he's honorable, dammit!]

You would too if they were your favorite clothes!

[It's nothing but one of his typical tracksuits, go figure. Still, he launches himself for another go, swinging an arm downward in an attempt to clock her upside the head in an almost comical manner.]
harboredfeelings: (64)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well. For now, at least.

It's not just that Kaga wants someone to go all out with, she's still a little mad about the whole Inn thing? Between getting drunk in a room alone with her sister and being engaged to her other friend Kaga's kind of... well even if she does know it was fully innocent, there's some frustration in there she has to work out. All over Yato's face. And torso. And legs. Whatever she can hit, really. ]


That's not the only thing minute on you...

[ Oh DAMN, Kaga! Low blow! But it seems appropriate to make considering how his face keeps changing color. Tsk, tsk, Yatogami, focus on the fight not on the feminine wiles. ]

You wear the same damn thing every da--shit

[ Cut off as he charges at her, Kaga attempts to move but catches the punch on her none-prosthetic shoulder, causing a hiss of pain to escape her. Yato managed to go and hit the fucking bone of all things, making the entire limb go numb. She proceeds to answer in the best way she can with him all up in her space like that.

The proud second flagship of the First Carrier Division goes and headbutts Yato. Time to see who has the harder head. ]

intertwinedfates: tired (26)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[For now... Try not to get too riled up, Kaga.

It's a sentiment Yato could almost understand were Akagi younger or more innocent, but she a shifty bugger herself! It's probably a damn good thing Yato's engaged or else who knows what might have happened, and not for lack of him trying to resist! But oof he's just a punching bag this time around, huh...?]


H-Hey! Stick to smacking me where it matters, not taking cheap shots! Unless that's all you've got?!

[Hell, it's not his fault ship girls seem to dress like skanky Bishamon! It's enough to drive a guy to distraction!]

'cuz I like it! It's a trademark--!

[Who else goes around wearing a damn tracksuit, right? Pity it doesn't extend to a hoodie, because he could use the added protection when Kaga opts to go crazy and just slam her head against his, making him grunt as he stumbles back, hand against his head. T-That smarts...

And makes him a touch dizzy, leaving him open to further attacks while he gets his bearings and tries to shake it off.]


Ugh... What's in that head of yours, bricks??
harboredfeelings: (43)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ She does what she wants!

It's nothing personal here, Yato. Kaga would've reacted this way with anyone she found in the same situation with Akagi. It's her job to protect her, a job she takes very, very seriously. It's the last request Kaga's other older sister made to her, after all!

So turns out headbutting a guy like Yato is a double-edged sword. Kaga ends up staggering back at the same pace, just as dazed and fully unable to capitalize on Yato's current state. ]


B-better than the rocks in yours...!!

[ Best comeback she has at the moment. She takes a second to spit out some blood in a very unladylike fashion, looks like she bit her tongue. ]

Get yourself a new trademark, or a fashion sense... insect god...

[ She grumbles as she staggers forward, shaking her head to try to clear herself. ]
intertwinedfates: cry blush mad (265)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Clearly!

...okay, well, that's at least sweet and understandable? He'd probably react the same way if he found someone in a compromising situation with Hiyori, too.

Two ships, headbutting in the night, that's what they are right now. Couple of Grade A dummies, for real. At least they're back to being on even footing temporarily.]


Dunno... Think we both flunked out this round...

[Lifting his throbbing head at the insult, he growls to himself as he slowly breaks out into a run at her, determined to take advantage of the distraction to get ahead.]

Don't mock what you don't understand--!

[Once he's within range, he lunges for her, both arms outstretched as he intends to tackle her flat out. It's lame, it's direct, but who knows, it might work?]
harboredfeelings: (44)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's not usually one to let her guard down in the middle of a fight but this is Yato we're talking about. When he says they've both flunked out she assumes he's about to call it and her head's been rocked enough that her bloodlust is at bay enough she'd probably agree. And then he charges her, and tackles her.

Leading to distressed fox noises as she goes tumbling down with Yato right on top of her. Kaga gasps as her back hits the ground, her tails losing their fire in her surprise, and proceeds to, well. Stare up at him with wide eyes. ]


You... you...!

[ And that's when the struggling starts! Kaga squirming on the ground like a particularly angry, well, fox, trying to get her legs up underneath Yato so she can kick him off of her. ]

Get off of me you lout!
intertwinedfates: grin grit (261)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, she wanted a fight, he's willing to give it to her! Knowing Kaga as he does, strong, determined, and slightly sadistic, he figures there's no way things could be over yet. So he goes for broke. It is a sort of sumo match, after all, so why not back to basics?

Using surprise to his advantage, he snatches her by the wrists and forces them down against the ground, pinning her in place while his legs straddle her waist.]


Hehe... Gotcha!

[Except she's having none of that. The squirming and flailing about makes him grip tighter as he lets out a yelp, but surprisingly, when she gets her legs up against him..... all he does is twine their legs together and let her stretch him out like bubble gum. Hiyori's done worse to him with her wrestling moves; he can handle this.]

Call my win, then, Kaga--!
harboredfeelings: (60)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh she very, very much does not like being straddled! Even uh... keyed up as she is, the positions are the reverse of what she'd prefer. The little insect of a god should be the one in the di-- WHAT DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING

It takes every single bit of self control Kaga has to not lean up and try to bite his throat out for entwining his legs with hers. That's just so... so... UGH SHE'S TELLING HIYORI LATER. ]


Damn you!

[ She grumbles and closes her eyes, ears pinning to her head. After a moment she sighs and spits it out. ]

Your point. Let me up. We go to five, remember?

[ Technically yes... but they've kind of thrown a bunch of the rules out the window already here. ]
intertwinedfates: sweat (93)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Gotta be careful of the rascally rogue insect god! You never know what tricks he might try next. Because if their legs are locked together, there's no way for her to throw him off, and right now that's the goal.

...though admittedly it probably looks kinkier than it is. Especially if Kaga tries to bring teeth into the mix. Yeesh!]


Hah! Don't like losing, do you?

[Losing sucks major ass, as he's well aware of. Hence why he's so keen on earning at least one point today.]

Ugh... that's right. Alright, then...

[Warily, he unhooks his legs and braces his knees on either side of her before finally letting go to stand up, offering her a hand to help get back on her feet.]
harboredfeelings: (61)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't lost yet.

[ A firm reminder as she takes his offered hand and allows him to help her up to her feet. No funny business from Kaga, no attempt to pull him down or sweep his leg. Although she does lean in and flick him gently across the nose with her thumb and forefinger once she's fully righted herself. ]

Reset. The quicker I can crush you the quicker I get to go get dinner.

[ She turns on her heel, paps him in the face with at least two of her tails, and goes back to her corner. All the while she's limbering up, rolling her shoulders, popping her neck. Kaga is positively boiling with anger at being bested and intends to take the rest of this fight to the cleaners.

Plus she's... kind of excited to see what else she can draw out of Yato here. Fighting that blood thirsty war god persona would be pretty fun.

Once in her turner she turns back to face Yato and waits patiently. Her tails aren't lighting up in fire this time at least, she's trying to keep her emotions more under control. ]


Come on, the ground's waiting for you.
intertwinedfates: grit (7)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
True, true.

[He just has to remember that all he needs to do is win three out of five in order to survive, though that seems a tall order with how... passionate Kaga can get. He winces as her finger approaches his face, though thankfully the actual flick is mercifully gentle.]

Geez... Not lacking confidence, that's for sure.

[He wobbles a bit as the tails pomp him in the face, but then he's returning to his starting place as well, trying to think up where to go from here. He'll have to be on guard, he knows that much.

Once in position, he turns to face her again and stretches a bit, working out the kinks he got from all that crap the first time around.

Rubbing his hands together, he resumes the standard wrestling stance but foregoes all the ceremony in favor of launching himself forward again, leaping high into the air so he can come down on her with a solid kick to her shoulder. The same one he aimed for last time. No mercy.]


We'll see who it's waiting for--!
harboredfeelings: (17)

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
Confidence is an attractive quality. Try it sometime.

[ Did she just... yeah Kaga actually stuck her tongue out at him. That's a little immature of her! Plus her metal hand keeps flexing its claws in and out as she waits. Calm as she's pretending to be she's cracking. ]

Tch. Predictable.

[ He really likes flinging himself at kitsune women, doesn't he? She kind of saw this one coming. She slides to the side to catch the blow on her prosthetic and let him experience the fun that is kicking solid, super powered metal. Before answering with her own attack.

Using the pressure of Yato's foot against her shoulder as a fulcrum Kaga spins on her heel and aims her own kick towards his thigh. At this point they're a scene out of a bad martial arts flick or a standard match at EVO. ]


DIE!

[ How... friendly. ]
intertwinedfates: talk annoyed (268)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-01-17 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph...

[She may be trying to get another low blow in, but honestly, he's taking that one to heart. It's something Bakugo's gotten on his case for as well, his lack of confidence and self-assurance. Enough so that he doesn't even register her sticking her tongue out at him, or if he does, his only response is the subtle furrow of his brow.]

Grr... Figures--!

[Well, considering that without using his weapons, he's slightly limited in his abilities, he could either attack outright or simply hang back, and that likely won't get him anywhere. So his leg connects solidly with her metal arm, leading to a ringing that goes right up his leg and into his lower back, making him wince painfully.

Yet before he gets a chance to respond, she's rounding on him and nailing him square in the leg, sending him tumbling off to one side. He tries to land on his uninjured leg but fails, leading to him sliding a bit with a painful grimace on his face. Bad movie, or just a bad fight in general, he has to wonder.]


Who do you think you are, Bakugo?! What's with everyone yelling that??

[Honestly! Get a new line!

Limping a bit, he straightens up and charges again, much like how he tackled her the first time. ...only instead of going for a full-body lunge, he breaks at the last moment in order to try sliding into her legs ala baseball style, hoping to knock her over.]

[ When Yato hits the ground badly Kaga's already moving in to try to capitalize on it, meaning the pair of combatants are running at each other in a full charge. ]

You did not just compare me to that damn pomeranian!

[ Oh she didn't like that. Her eyes are glowing again, at least her tails don't catch fire this time, but she's entirely expecting another full body lunge and bracing for such, which means when Yato slides into her legs he knocks them fully out from underneath her, causing her to--

Float. In the air. She can fly, buddy. ]


Right where I want you...!

[ With a growl she proceeds to propel herself straight at Yato, hands outstretched to pin him to the ground before he has the opportunity to collect himself.

It'd almost be funny, she's kind of doing that pouncing thing foxes do when hunting in the snow. Except, you know, she's hurtling right at him with her teeth bared so that's... fun. ]

[Like a pair of rams or something they are, ready to headbutt each other once more. (Don't do that, guys, it didn't work the first time...)]

Pom--

[Pomeranian?? Bakugo?! It takes every single ounce of focus Yato has not to break down into cackles right there at the notion of Bakugo of all people being compared to a cute dog. Somehow he manages, but not without a crazy grin of delight crossing his face. Yet his expression changes once his plan goes literally sideways as Kaga starts floating, leaving him wide-eyed and slack jawed.

That... that's unexpected.]


Huh?!

[To say he has no time to react would be an understatement, as Kaga zips at him with the intention of securing him bodily to the dirt, which she manages handily.

He could handle that no problem, honestly. It's just the teeth that make him wary enough to scrabble about trying to escape, one arm coming up to block her from biting anything vital like his throat.]


What'sa matter with you, rabies?!

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2025-01-17 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's Kaga's turn to do the straddling, legs on either side of Yato's waist, one hand pinning his shoulder to the ground. She doesn't do any fancy work with her legs, using her tails instead to twine around Yato's legs and arrest their movement. ]

Say that again. You won't get to say it a third time.

[ That's a threat. A threat coming from a manic grin, glowing eyes, and her metallic claw resting right on his chest over his heart. Probably against the rules, yes, but if he's going to protect his throat she's going to have to threaten something else vital to get him to yield. ]

Or admit you lost this one. Your choice, Yato-chan.

[With an oof he hits the ground solidly, limbs held down so he can't move. Oh hey, that's actually kind nice feeling-- ...er. Yeah. This sucks!! Mostly.]

N-Nothing... I didn't say nothin'...

[He knows better than to try and repeat that even under his breath, not when Kaga is like this, looking like she might pull a movie scene on him and pluck his heart right out. It's enough to make him still out of caution, grateful that she at least didn't aim lower...]

....your match, then. One and one. J-Just, no funny business...!

[He starts squirming to try getting up, eager to put some distance between them.]

You're one to talk about funny buisness.

[ Said with an annoyed flick of her ears. She relents though, pushing herself off Yato effortlessly and offering him a hand up in the same courtesy he gave her. ]

Funny buisness would be me taking your fiancee to a hotel for the night. Forunate for you, I'm not that sort of woman.

[ Ah, the implication. ]
