[Sunnivale]

Masuyo remained quiet and was relieved that Ciel had managed to do so too. Sabuo had stopped speaking and just moved away from the door instead of checking it out, he thought that Masuyo and Ciel were no longer in the room in front of him.

That, or she thinks that they weren't in there anymore. "He's quiet." Masuyo turned towards Ciel.

"Come on, I think it's quiet out there. And I have a theory as to how to stop all of this and allow us to get out of here." Masuyo gestured Ciel to follow her, now.

Because soon after Masuyo sneaked towards the front door of the house and slid it open, she began to hear the sound of someone following over and someone growling and screaming in the kitchen.

It was Sabuo, emphasis on was, he wasn't her husband anymore, especially since the growls were beginning to turn into something... Monstrous as he continued to scream. "Quickly, she's changing him. It's too late to save him." Masuyo sadly said. She knew that they weren't married, but it was still sad for Sabuo to go through that, and hoped nothing similar had happened to the people that she knew outside of this strange town.

Once she got outside and was in the froggy, but empty neighbourhood again, Masuyo looked around. "She's not around, so she should be safe out here despite the change of atmosphere. But I have an idea like I said, as to how we can escape." She would explain, before pointing towards a building in the distance.

(Music: Channeling)

It was, a Chapel, a familiar Chapel.

"That church is where the woman lives, I'm sure of it. I saw someone that resembled her dozens of times near that church. So, If we get to that church and stop her, maybe we can get out of here. I'm guessing that fighting her in person would be easier then when she's attacking people with those hands of hers." However, there was two paths that Masuyo and Ciel can take towards the church...

A shortcut that would take them there as soon as possible or another path that was longer and will take them to Jusho High first before the Church itself, but Masuyo was alright with leaving it to Ciel's decision.

Speaking of Jusho High...

---

Yumiko was about to break open the front door with her powers. "Alright, I need to prepare myself first." As Yumiko was about to shook some lightning to burst through the door and apologise to the Teacher's blocking it in advance. She quickly realised that Roll and Fairy burst through the door for her, and she stood back as she saw the now broken open door and the two teachers that were blasted hit the wall at the end of the path.

"What the hell!?" Yumiko would turn outside and walk out to see the trio.

"Are you three from Li!? please, don't hurt me. I'm from Li too. I got stuck in this town as well and I was about to escape from this." Yumiko sadly looked up to Jusho, which was beginning to look more abandoned and wrecked as the fog started to surround the area.

"Old version of my school, when those teachers blocked my way. Thanks, even if they too are stuck in this town like us---But before Yumiko could finish, a sign at the top of the school fell behind the group, and began to change into something else.

The name Jusho High was beginning to change as well, to what the school was formerly called. Yumiko approached the sign, as it can still be read.

And what the school's name was...

"Midwich Elementary? I thought this was a high school. More so, I heard that name before from the Hylia Grace Library." Yumiko tried to think back as to where she heard that name before. She was doing a study on cities and one of the towns that interested her was an abandoned one somewhere in America.

The sign revealed more about what it said.

LOCATED IN SILENT HILL

(Music: Running in the Halls)

"Silent Hill, but we aren't, huh!?" Yumiko looked back up towards the school again, to see that it no longer resembled the polished and well kept Jusho High.

But instead the ruined and abandoned school of Midwich Elementary. Yumiko stepped away from the school in question and stood near the trio before turning back towards them.

"Did you find a way into this town? Maybe we can get out the same way again." Yumiko suggested, thinking that the party was the only one that came into Silent Hill and hasn't realised that Ciel was with them yet.

"Nobody's going to leave, especially you Yumiko."

A female voice called by the school gates, who revealed herself to the group. 

"Oh no, it's Alessa, she was the one that trapped me here." Yumiko revealed, which made Alessa slightly angry that Yumiko was implying that she kidnapped her, when all she really did was forcefully take her away from a place.

"I didn't trap you here Yumiko, I placed you into an ideal version of my former town for your sake, so you can escape the horrors from Li, and created people that you can befriend and talk too. That resembled the people that were formally in your life, who are now gone." And something of which Alessa doubted they would ever return, which Yumiko refused to accept.

She was going to be reunited with her friend's one day, she was sure of it, everyone will.

"I don't want a fake version of my former life Alessa, I want my real life, more so, my current life on LI. I was doing fine before you appeared in that fog, and my stupid curiosity of mine led me to be trapped here, and now you trapped these people here too. Are you going to keep them here too?"

"No. I'm going to let them kill them for me." Alessa pointed towards the entrance of Midwich again, where Yumiko turned to hear growling and screaming coming from it. Similar to what had happened to Sabuo.

(Music: A Joyful Ride)

The Teachers soon crawled out of the door, although, they didn't resemble humans. They appeared to be stitched together, from face to body, and their hands and feet were modified to look razor sharp, as if they were ready to slice people in two.

"Kill them all except for my friend. If possible, capture her and take her to the church, so she can learn never to disobey her true friends again!" Alessa was going to make sure Yumiko never leaves Silent Hill, or her.

Even if it means killing the ones that rescue her. "Like hell you are!" Yumiko prepared to fight the Teacher monsters and it seems as though the group had gotten started.

Alessa levitated from the ground, she wanted to watch this fight, but feared that if she just stood around and watch then Yumiko and the group would take notice and try to take her down. She floated into the sky, high enough so the group couldn't reach her.

Not aware that some of them had ranged attacks.

Yumiko began the fight first by firing her intended maziodyne at them. This time without apologising, although feeling sorry for what Alessa was putting them through.

While the first of her maziodyne missed, Yumiko was relieved to see that her next two attacks had landed a hit on the teachers. Although it wasn't enough to take them down, and she doubted that if the teachers got hit by her first maziodyne, then it still wouldn't take them down. "Shit, they're still up." Yumiko would say, before she saw the Teachers ready to attack the group.

Their claws glowed as they tried to slice Yumiko with them.

(Roll to dodge poisonous claws for Yumiko is 16. Failure will result in her having a 100% chance of getting the poisoned status effect as well as 20% damage.)

(But Yumiko used her bubble shield!)

Yumiko, seeing how dangerous the claws will be, blocked it with her bubble shield. "I don't think so." And pushed the stitched teachers behind her with it before jumping back, Alessa looked down at the battle.

"I told you not to hurt Yumiko, hurt them!" Alessa pointed down to Axl, Fairy and Roll.

"If you try and hurt Yumiko again, then I just have to replace you with someone stronger." Alessa warned to the monsters, who turned their attention towards the trio. Not wanting to be replaced, they summoned some dust by shooting it out of their mouth before pushing the burning dust towards Roll, Axl and Fairy.

There was something weird about the strange dust, which Yumiko noticed. "Don't let that dust touch you, I have a feeling that it's something weird!" Yumiko warned towards the group.

(Dust of Fear: A burning dust that burns the person inflicted with it, as well as show them their deepest darkest fear. Roll, Axl and Fairy must roll a 14 to dodge the dust.

"Right on the nose. We are from Li and we were sent to escort you out of this place when you went missing," Leviathan replied, glancing back at the fallen sign. An elementary school, huh? Sounds like the villain formfitted this place to her memories. Overlaying their perception of the town or maybe it was actually bending it's shape? In either case this place and it's people were wrong.

Then the teachers were transformed into hideous monsters to kill them and capture Yumiko. She didn't need telling twice that the dust they spewed out were anything but good. She twirled her spear, the dust blowing away before she readied her posture back into fighting form. "You know, maybe they would listen to you if you were a better friend. Don't friends listen to their friends or am I missing a step here? Seems to me you're just a selfish little girl," Leviathan pointed out... They could not exactly fall any deeper than threatening their lives, right? Leviathan fired a spear towards one of the mutated teachers as she was not hesitant to fight back.

[Doctor Ciel]

Ciel paused a moment and reached up to cover her mouth in silent shock at the sounds coming from the kitchen. She was glad she was out of there, lest she have to hide and hope they didn't open whatever cabinet she was hiding in. That sounded terrifying. She followed Masuyo outside, careful as she could be to be quiet in those... crosses between high heels and platform shoes she called footwear. Once they were outside though, Ciel deigned to speak.

“ ...Thank you, Miss. My name is Doctor Ciel and--... I'd like to work with you to escape. ”

Simple enough. They'd have time on the way to the chappel for details. Ciel moved to follow Masuyo, not knowing the way herself of course. Once they put a bit more distance between themselves and... the monster formerly known as Sabuo, she began to speak more freely.

“ We actually came here searching for your daughter, Yumiko. This began as a rescue mission, but I had no idea there were others here too... I brought my daughter here too. She's a bit troubled, but... ”

Ciel went quiet for a moment as she pondered the implications. Did the sudden appearance of all these unaccounted for people suggest something about the nature of this place, and about Masuyo? ...Maybe. She decided to put that detail aside for now. It was, of course, perhaps odd for someone visibly younger than even Yumiko to be talking about having a daughter. Though perhaps Masuyo had managed to catch a glimpse of Roll's joint seams and could put two and two together. At the suggestion of fighting the woman for their freedom, Ciel's stomach tensed. She always hated it when it came down to that, but she saw Masuyo's logic.

“ ...Let's take the fastest route there, then. If she's busy fighting us, that means she won't be free to harm the kids, or anyone else. Hopefully we can handle her ourselves, but if we can't... at least we'll buy time. ”

...She meant the other kids, of course. So everyone except Old Man Axl.

Axl took notice of the problem, and simply shielded the attack

Axl shields the dust: (65-10(Activation Penalty)-25(Dust of Fear)=30 shield left)

"Sorry, noob; gonna have to take you down by the source and take the DNA as a reward!" Axl said as he suddenly appeared right behind Alessa with a Laser Pistol to the back of their head, all while saying a reference that could fill even villains with dread.  "Omae wa mou shindeiru." all while firing off a energy bullet combo...

Not deterred by this, he switched gears to become invisible to his target...

Then promptly fired off another energy bullet...

Unfortunately for Roll-Roll, she didn't heed Yumiko's warning and the dust blew over her, getting in her eyes even. She visibly cringed and grabbed at her face. “AAAAH!! ...Stupid... gear tweaking, ...crud chewing--” she began as she brushed at her eyes, a couple of tears streaming down her cheeks. She thrashed a bit as she fought through the pain, a frankly kinda pathetic looking expression of crying rage on her face as she jerked her head around in search of Alessa. “Everyone thinks they can pick on me, but everyone is wrong!” she called out in anger.

When she finally looked up and spotted Alessa hovering above them, she sneered slightly. “I see London, I see France, I'm gonna burn your underpants!!” she chided rather immaturely as she took aim, firing off a large glob of plasma up at Alessa from beneath her.

SACRFICIED TEACHERS
DEFEATED!

(Music - Confusion)

"Grr, selfish? I yearned for friends, but I was always rejected due to my powers, except for one girl, but she's gone now, like everyone else that I loved. And then this town decided to punish me for it, and now that someone had shown me kindness, I will never let them leave this town again, she'll likely suffer the same fate as me... No.

Something bad is going to happen to Yumiko in the future, and I'm trying to prevent it from happening!" Alessa revealed to the group, but... Yumiko didn't understand.

"What!? What do you mean something bads going to happen to me in the future!?" But before Yumiko could get an answer from Alessa, a scream was heard coming from the entrance to Midwich.

As the Teacher's prepared for their next attack on the group. They were caught off guard by Fairy's attacks, which blew them up before they had a chance to take down the group again. If Fairy's attacks missed then surely, Yumiko or Roll would of managed to finish them off. Alessa looked down at the group as they managed to finish off the enemy, and clenched her fists in rage.

"Darn it, I guess I should of used an army instead of just one enemy to take you all down." Alessa hoped that she at least did a bit of damage to the group, or installed fear to them. But it seems the fear gas didn't work either.

And, like the sacrificed teachers, she was caught off guard by the group's attacks. In this case, it was Roll trying to shoot her down. "What!?" Alessa tried to dodge the attacks.

Health: 442%

All of the attacks had managed to hit Alessa, causing her to lose her balance into the air and fall forward towards some woods near Midwich as the group watched. Yumiko was glad that Alessa was gone once more. However, it was only a matter of time until she came back, and likely with stronger enemies that can take down the group. "Huh, so there was a rescue party for me, but don't worry, I think I know a way we can get out of here, and that's by taken down Alessa until she relents and makes a portal back to Li." Unfortunately, that would mean one thing as Yumiko turned towards the forest that Alessa had fallen in.

"That does mean going into those woods and facing Alessa for real." However, before Yumiko could make her way towards the foggy woods, something began to emerge out of them.

Yumiko took a step back, as more humanoid beings that resembled the teachers began to emerge from the forest. This time however, instead of resembling teachers, they resembled students.

"YUMIKOLETUSDIE"

"WHYDIDNTYOUSAVEUSYUMIKO!"

"ITSHOTINHERE!"

"ITHURTSYUMIKO!"

They all began to say in some sort of disorted tone, which worried Yumiko as she turned towards Midwich's entrance. "Quick, in the school. We can barricade the doors." Yumiko told the group as she quickly entered the school, seeing as how there was nowhere else to go.

(Music - Enemy Zero)

There was also multiple, but worn down objects near the door, that Yumiko started to push towards the door in order to barricade it, however, she wasn't sure that it was going to be enough to barricade the door. She pushed as hard as she could at the items she found towards the door in order to barricade it.

(In order to barricade the door without issue, then you must make a strength roll of 15 in order to push the objects that you found towards the school's entrance. In order for the barricade to be formed, two members (Either Roll, Axl or Fairy) of the group must make a successful strength roll. If more then three members of the group fail the roll, then the barricade will not be formed or be easily taken down by the student monster army and get into the school.)

p_1d20-4(And Yumiko failed to help with the barricade.)

Unfortunately the table that Yumiko was pulling broke four of it's legs and fell onto the ground where it broke into pieces. "Shit." She cursed, as she looked towards the army of students that slowly approached the school.

Unknown to the group, someone in the school itself was watching them. A girl in purple clothing and long brown hair.

---

Meanwhile, leaving the neighbourhood, the town began to form more and more into Silent Hill then the town that the group had previously saw now. There was many notable landmarks of the place before Masuyo had made it to the Church.

"Ah, your here to rescue my wonderful daughter, I love her very much and wherever she is, I hope she's safe. I hope we'll be able to get out all together, and maybe turn my husband back to normal as well." Masuyo hoped that all the citizens that Alessa had turned into monsters would turn back to normal, so they can leave and experience life on Li again.

"Right, I have an idea on what we should do when we get to the Church anyway if Alessa isn't there. If it works then it could greatly weaken Alessa and it will be easier to defeat her once we eventually get to her." Masuyo said as she began to take the shortcut to the Church.






"We're almost there." She would say to Ciel as she approached the Church, it was fortunate that during the journey. They didn't run into any other monsters, although luckily, it might be because they were busy following Alessa's orders to do something else... Or Alessa didn't trigger.



The airhorn just yet, if she did, then the group would be in trouble. Masuyo opened the church door, which was fortunately unlocked as it always was, and peeked in to see if anyone was inside.

(Music - Resident Evil 7: Safe Room)

(Ignore the lady, she's not there.)

Nobody was, it was just an empty church, Masuyo turned back towards Ciel. "Alessa's not here, so, we don't have to fight her just yet. Knowing her, she's probably watching someone in the town so it looks like she's not going to be here for awhile, but I have an idea on what we should do while she's gone. That might weaken the power that she has in this town." Masuyo said as she entered the church now knowing that it's currently safe.

She walked towards the end of the room, and looked out of the window. "Everytime Alessa comes here, she often goes to the back of it, I'm not sure---Wait." When Masuyo looked out towards the window, she noticed a house just near the bottom of the Church and quickly put two and two together.



That house was Alessas, it had to be.

"Of course, she goes to the back of the church so she can go home. That house down there might help us somewhat in order to weaken her power." Masuyo saw a nearby back door exit to the Church and quickly took it as she ran down the small hill leading to the Gillespie's house, where, like the church, it was unlocked for some reason, as she quickly looked around.

(Music - Rhythm Sketch #3)

Not noticing a door that would lead into the Basement that was open... But maybe Ciel will notice it?

“Ha-ha~!” Roll-Roll laughed, pointing up at Alessa as she was launched, quite pleased with herself judging by the big smirk on her face and the snickering that followed. However, the arrival of new enemies yanked her from her celebratory laughter. She glared at the approaching students, initially recognizing nothing other than enemies needing to be cut down. However, she soon realized they were retreating. She reluctantly followed along. “I don't mind teaching her a lesson~! I bet she's really sore after that shot~” she light-heartedly remarked as she entered the school, watching what the others did to establish a barricade. As she watched Yumiko break a table, she began to compulsively clean it up, casually vacuuming the various pieces, even the large ones, up and the ground around them until she was satisfied.

Leviathan smirked a bit as Roll managed to score a hit on the oppressive young girl... She did give a tilt of her head at her speech though. So Yumiko showed her respect unlike most people and she was trying to protect her from a pontential danger? Well, certainly made it seem less selfish if protection was the core reason but it could also just be an excuse to keep her here. In either case Yumiko did not seem too thrilled and she had an objective to fulfill.

Just as she left more began to arrive and in bigger number. Leviathan was ready to stand her ground but Yumiko and Axl seemed to quick to flee so she was going to follow suit. Sure, she was confident in her skills but they probably needed to conserve their strength to take down the more bothersome threat. The plan was simple but she'll admit in a place like this attacking the source made sense. Leviathan looked through the leftover material and picked up what looked sturdiest to help block the door.

"That should hold them... at least for a bit," she recogonized hers and Axl's efforts for a moment. "We have a problem however... They came from where Alyssa is supposed to be, right? How do we get out and past them? We can't hole in here all day..." Leviathan pointed out as she tried to sense the surroundings a bit but this place was kind of hard to pick up much... She did feel some presence, glancing back for a moment.

Ciel dutifully followed along behind Masuya, silently grateful that her legs could handle an extended run like that. Perhaps the only good thing to come from having been on the run for so long back home. She had to wonder aloud, though...

“ Masuya, what is it exactly that we're looking for? ”

Once they reached the church, Ciel waited to see where Masuya lead them, idly looking around for a bit before noticing the open door. While Masuya is busy, she decides to take a look in there and see what's past it.

“ ...Is anyone here? ”

The group's efforts to build the barricade to protect themselves were tough to say the least. Fortunately Fairy and Axl had managed to get in enough of the barricade that none of the enemies outside of the school will be able to break through it. The barricade wiggled slightly which made Yumiko tense, she prepared for the worst, however.

The barricade...

Was held in place! Causing the enemies to retreat in the fog for now. However the group were now stuck inside Midwich for now, with Fairy questioning how they were able to get out and locate Alessa. "Well school's have multiple exits and even if this one transformed then there would surely be another exit. Hopefully this school is similar to Jusho. In which case, we may find an exit soon and get out through---But as Yumiko turned to begin making her way in the school, she gasped.

Someone that wasn't there before, was, to some members of the group. The figure, who was a girl, would be familiar to, as she certainly was to Yumiko.



"H-Hayasaka!?" The girl turned out to be Chiaki Hayasaka, who simply stood there, looking at the group as Yumiko waited to see if Chiaki was going to attack.

"What are you doing here. Didn't you get stuck back at Akechi's palace!?" Wait did she? Yumiko herself didn't quite remember, but she was ready to fight Chaiki if she was going to attack the group.

"Everyone, that girl right there is dangerous. She has powers similar to mine and she tried to kill me and a few others once, she's probably working with Alessa too." Yumiko theorised Chiaki's presence, but then the girl finally began to speak.

But first, she, laughed, very loudly?

"HO, HO, HO!" Chiaki laughed before dramatically pointing a finger towards the group, while posing.

"Foolish Shirasagi-san. Do you really think you and those pests will be able to escape the labyrinth that is Alessa's former school. You will never defeat me and my wonderful powers!"

"Actually, there is an exit at the end of the hall." Yumiko finally noticed that there was an emergency exit that the group could use to escape, which Chiaki noticed as she looked up.

"Oh... Ho, ho, ho." Chiaki said as she posted again, by twisting her body suddenly until her head suddenly reached the roof.

"Annd, I don't think that's the real Hayasaka-san. It's a relief, but then, who are we even dealing with?" Yumiko asked to the strange copy of Chiaki in front of the group.

"Uh, uh." She began to panic, or more so "She" began to panic.

Suddenly Chiaki sprouted fangs as Yumiko gasped. "She's a vampire!" She shouted as Chiaki charged towards the group, intending to chomp at them with the fangs that Alessa created for her.

(The Vampire Chiaki attacks! To dodge her bite. You must roll a 15 in DEX. Failure to dodge her will result in getting a 20% damage. Meanwhile to stop Chiaki and go to the school's emergency exit you must roll a 20 in any modifier to stake her heart. If you don't wish to do it then you must roll a 19 in strength to get past Chiaki and reach the emergency exit.)

Pt3A3SmVp_1d20+2(Exact dodge.)

Yumiko watched as the vampire Chiaki had managed to get close to her and almost take a bite out of her like some evil tall lady in a snow coated castle that everyone keeps running into when she starts chasing them, but she spun around and managed to dodge her before falling onto the ground.

"Nice try!" Yumiko shouted, only to hear someone from a far yelling at the group, it was another teenage girl.

"Would you all shut up!? Me and the four other members of my book group are trying to write poems!" Suddenly there was the sound of two people fallen over.

"Nevermind, there's just three of us now." Suddenly there was another banging from a far, coming from a young woman who was a country singer.

"Would y'all be quiet please. Me and my teammates are trying to fix this darn generator before that darn hag comes back and starts chasing all four of us." Suddenly there was the sound of a generator exploding.

"Now she sensed us." Followed by the large sound of groaning, it was best that the group stopped the fake Chiaki and escape the school before any more weird stuff happens.

Hopefully Masuyo and Ciel's quest to stop Alessa is less weird.

Unfortunately, it was just about to become spooky for the duo.

While Ciel went to check out the basement, Masuyo found an old styled telephone and realised that there was someone on the other end, curious, she went to check it, as for the basement well...



Upon entering the room, Ciel would find that there was a figure at the end of the room. It appeared to be a boy, but it was unknown if it was staring at her exactly.

"Ciel, there's a phone that allows me to hear the school. I think your friends are there, once we finished with this place, we could go to the school and check to see if Yumiko and your friends are there. Did you find anything?" Masuyo called down to Ciel. It was hard to navigate through the basement and the boy wasn't moving nor was he saying anything despite the fact that he would of noticed Ciel by now.

There was a light switch next to Ciel, but if she tried to go near the boy, there would be something blocking the way. However because of the darkness, it was unknown as to what was blocking Ciel's path.

She could either try the light switch or head back upstairs and meet up with Masuyo.

Maybe the boy was connected to Alessa in some way?

Axl's paranoia was proven correct when someone was present, but then turned into a vampire, guess Axl would need to change his strategy...
DEX ROLL A: zvBwmhLgp_1d20+3(deliberately lured her in for the plan)

And deliberately lured the poor fool into a trap.  "Reploids are still treated as superior to humans in some ways, but you...  I know someone that outclasses you by several orders of magnitude thanks to a book on vampires I read back at Hylia's Grace Academy." Axl said as he pointed his Laser Pistol to the vampires chest...  Only to evade another bite and piss off the enemy
DEX ROLL B: p_1d20+3(There's the dodge I was looking for!)

"Too slow!  By the way, that book on vampires...  It's said that one who holds the Crimson Stone is the one who becomes the most powerful of their kind, so you fail big-time in that aspect as you don't own such a thing." Axl snarked, happy that his Reploid physiology made the DNA Change effectively useful, which made him an effective doppelganger to anyone he copies.  "I just hope that you realize that an SoB like you just got screwed over by willingly giving me your DNA." Axl added, placing a hand over the forehead jewel that was in place, and removing it to reveal that the 'forehead Jewel's was a false cover for the real forehead jewel, which had been shattered long ago by a tentacle coming out of Lumine's body, as a piece of that tentacle was still there and it was glowing with an ominous violet tint, it wasn't Starvia-based oh no, it was it's own form of Maverick energy, which didn't even seem to corrupt Axl due to his status as the prototype of his generation.

"See ya, wouldn't want to be ya." Axl retorted, opening fire with the Spiral Magnum, cleanly blowing a hole into Vampire!Chiaki's chest where her heart is located, effectively landing the blow needed to impale her and by extension, turn her heart into chunky salsa.
DEX ROLL C: p_1d20+3(CRITICAL SPIRAL MAGNUM OF CHUNKY SALSA RULE! @ Vampire!Chiaki, 24% dmg if it connects, Axl takes 3% recoil, destroys bubble shield on hit if blocked)
CRIT Confirm roll: p_1d20+3(dmg upgraded to 48% dmg if the roll is lower, otherwise; enjoy your mini-crit)

"Well...  That was fun, don't want to do that ever again, let's find the emergency exit, get out of here, and find Ciel." Axl said, taking care to kick Vampire!Chiaki out of his way so that Roll-roll and Fairy Leviathan wouldn't have to walk all over her, also placing the forehead jewel covering back on to hide the real forehead jewel that was wrecked by the aftermath of the Paradise Lost incident.

Roll-Roll gasped sharply as the so-called Chiaki vampire managed to get ahold of her and bite her, only to get gunned down by Axl. Roll-Roll gently grasped the bite wound. “...Shouldn't've tried to eat me you cow.” Roll-Roll sorely chastised. Ow. That bite really hurt! ...Weren't vampire bites infectious or something? Roll-Roll softly fussed over her injury for a bit before some kids grabbed her attention. Probably not their smartest choice.

Roll-Roll glared, turning her buster on one of the poets and promptly firing off a buster shot at them.

p_1d20+3 (Roll-Roll's buster shot!)

“Next person to tell me what to do's getting it in the face...” Roll-Roll warned, before moving to the exit.

Ciel paused a moment and leaned back out from the door to answer Masuyo.

“ ...Yeah. Hold on. ”

She then leaned back in and delicately moved to turn on the lights to see who it was lurking in the church basement. She did kind of have a bad feeling about this, but on the other hand she doubted whoever it was couldn't hear them.

Leviathan was unable to dodge as she was bitten... Wow this girl was just biting all of them. That is some nipping speed... She hoped vampirism did not effect Reploids, not being able to go out in the sun sounded frustrating. "... Oh, are we playing the Reploid Supremacy card? Didn't know you were into that, Axl~?" Leviathan teased. Hard to tell what she was really thinking at times. Regardless she took out one of her sub-tanks and drank it down quickly.


p_1d25+4(Sea-Tank Heal, heals 26 damage)

"Ah... Good as new..." Leviathan sighed in relief as the Energy Tank restored her to peak condition and healed the bite. "... I think you need to recheck the dictionary on what willing means. Pretty sure being attacked and retaliating  with a buster shot is what most would call consent," Leviathan pointed out. He looked like he had it handled anyway... Leviathan checked her Energy Reserves while he was doing that... Nope, not really enough for another Sub-Tank... Roll will need to wait.

"Agreed..." Leviathan replied, looking towards the blast zone... Didn't vampires have specific weaknesses like fire? She wasn't really built for fire... Built against it really... Ah well, they should just get out of here while she recovers.
