Dazed, confused, but chugging on.
"Lure?" Double wagged their tail. "All right, a fun role! What should my lure be?" They began to pace. "A cat trapped in a tree? A little girl with missing parents? Horde Prime slamming innocent guards into the concrete?" Their eyes glittered, while drool began to escape their lips.FL4K glances around at you as you each talk about your different strengths. They narrow their glowing green eye at you. I may have an idea as to how we will be able to extract the information from Kyle without needing to infiltrate the headquarters. Lilith- you will need to go inside alone and find Kyle's location. Once you know, relay his location to us. If he is too deep inside the building for Julia to reach him, then both you and Double Trouble will need to lure him farther out, perhaps towards the windows. Tifa, if you are able to, help find Double Trouble a suitable disguise, one with the clearance needed to reach Kyle. A secretary, perhaps. After the prey has taken the bait, we will need you, Minako, to assist Julia in getting within range. Zer0 and I will remain on standby in case you require any... removals. Are there any questions?
"Chres started it." Lucky reiterated. "He's the one shittalkin'.""If they continue to act like children, I will do more than just talk some sense into them," Amara tells Ryuji plainly before looking towards Elizabeth. "Of course I'm a Siren. The only one that has never lost a fight," she states proudly. "Would you like an autograph?" She then glares at everyone who had participated in the small brawl, especially Chres. "Do you have anything else to say?"
Meanwhile, Brick doesn't seem very affected by Amara's intensity. He even looks kind of excited to see her beat some people up. But, being preoccupied with the tabletop game turned make-believe, he turns to Skye and grins. "Uhhh... yeah, I guess!"
From out of the water comes a humanoid shape, made entirely out of the ocean water, with a beefy-looking upper body and legs that only consist of a small tornado of sea mist and nothing more. He stretches, making a yawn sound. "Uuuuuugh... man, I haven't been called for millenia. If any of you retards want me to power wash your stupid-ass meat chariots, I'll-" The water spirit stops as he spots Anna amongst the burning buildings. He hovers over to her quickly. "...whoa. First girl master I've ever had. I could get used to this." He glances around. "You need help with the fire? I can help with the fire, sweetheart."
He sticks out his arm and unleashes a torrent of water at one of the buildings, extinguishing the blaze quickly.
But, of course, not as quick as all of you combined.
With all your efforts, you avert the disaster in record time. Surprisingly, stuff that really shouldn't work does, with exhibit A being Shujinko's sword extinguishing about a third of the entire town with one swing. Did it level all the buildings it touched? Yes. Do the townspeople care ABSOLUTELY THE HELL NOT
Even Abbott/Scuttle's electricity would work!
When all's said and done, the fires put out and the townspeople safe, they all come over and cheer for you, chanting "SLABS! SLABS! SLABS!" Some of them even pick those of you who are small up and toss you in the air, then catch you before you can hit the ground. "SLABS! SLABS! SLABS!" they keep shouting over and over and over again. "Oh, thank you, Slabs! You protected my babies from those evil Bandits!" a defenseless woman in the crowd sobs. "And those dastardly meteors! I thought for sure those would kill us!"
"Throne Thieeeeeves!" a jolly voice of another woman calls from behind you. If you look, you'll see a weird projection that's totally not a hologram of a lady with white hair and a jacket slung over her shoulders. In place of her arms are wild, black plumage, like that of a raven, and her legs befit the talons of one as well. Behind her is a way scrawnier guy with one pathetically thin wing and a robotic arm. The harpy lady continues speaking with a very punchable grin on her face. "I don't think we've met before, have we? Ah, who cares? I can't even be assed to remember the names of my billions of brainwashed followers. Aaaanyway, I just got word that you interrupted our fun at Flamerock Refuge. Really? You're really gonna team up with those lame Slabs? Those guys can't even count their own fingers, much less all the bullets in a mag. I mean, my followers can't either, but at least we got the numbers!"
"You dare disrespect the Slab Kingdom?! I will have you know that proud, articulate nobles of our status CAN count our fingers! One two three four five six seven..." He turns to you all after a short silence. "...fuck."
Seems like you got a chance to say something to these Harpy Twins- at least, that's who they probably most definitely are. What're you gonna say?
Meanwhile, Salvador pulls Heather and Fluffington in with his arms and squeezes them tightly. "SILLY LITTLE FLESHBAGS! YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT THE DICE! SPIT THEM OUT NOW OR DIE!"
"Oh! David! Hello!" Megumin waved to David as he hopped into the game.
"'Bout time you came." Lucky trotted beside David. "These orphans are little bitches."
All of a sudden, and Megumin wasn't sure if it was her doing, a gigantic humanoid appeared in the ocean, washing away the fires with a flick of both wrists. This tsunami washed Lucky away, while Megumin managed to keep herself steady by grabbing a light pole.
The next thing he knew, Lucky was being picked up and tossed like a teddy bear. "Ay! Stop it! Stop it! Damn it, you're gonna make me sick!"
Meanwhile, Megumin watched the argument between Slabs and this other woman. "That's okay." Megumin remarked cheerfully. "You don't need to know how to count to be powerful. Just knowing what you're doing is enough!" After all, she did not beat the Demon King by challenging him to a multiplication bee!
Outside the game, Megumin rushed to the trio of dice-diners. "No! Heather, those are hard plastic! Even if you don't choke, it might get stuck in your digestive system!" She struggled to pick up all the remaining pieces, but Salvadore decided to make the situation worse while she was occupied. Apparently, the best remedy for someone eating something they weren't supposed to was SHOOTING them. Naturally, this made Heather screech with the volume of a hundred dragon roars.
"What is WRONG with you?!" Megumin snapped at Salvadore. "Do you even realize that is a little girl and a tiny dog you just injured?"
