[ If you had paid visit before, you might notice that where you start seems fairly familiar. But since most of you haven't… the first thing you'll notice is red. Dark red all around you. The sky, the ground—everything is red. It's impossible to make out anything among the color. But if you attempt to stare at any particular space for too long, you'll discover it pulses, flows.

And then there is a laugh that you are probably very acquainted with by now, only this time it’s LOUDER, wracking inside your skull. ]

FOOLISH WORMS! THIS IS MY DOMAIN NOW. YOU SHALL ALL PERISH. TORN ASUNDER. NOTHING LEFT.

[ Well then. ]


((Join #eyesontheprize if you can for coordination and easy communication.

Also, I futzed up by not putting up a mingle header. If you show up late and want to talk to Alpha in addition to/instead of the second NPC, let me know. I doubt many people really want to talk to Alpha though... ))

Re: THE RING

[floorcandy]

[checking the triggers on his baculus once its hum has dialed up to a shrill, unstable whine]

Okay, that's a start!

[and swinging it like a sword, unleashing a swathe of blazing blue energy towards Alpha. it doesn't have any organization like Mikage's usual zaiphon, but it's much stronger and much more destructive, powered by nothing but aggressive intent]

Re: THE RING

[stigmateyes]

[ The center-mass shot strikes through Alpha, causing his grotesque body to begin cracking slightly, which he can't focus on long as Mithos' lightning coils around his good eye and Mikage's attack worsens the slow deterioration of his form. Alpha thrashes about. ]

Re: THE RING

[stigmateyes]

NO! I WILL NOT BE DESTROYED BY MISERABLE WORMS LIKE YOU!

[ He directs his good hand toward the ground and unleashes a blast of magic that shatters the frozen blood holding him, sending shards of every size flying in every direction. At the same time, it's going to become a lot more difficult for Mikage to see, as an odd darkness obscures his vision. And Eclipse is going to have to contend with a massively stretched wing that thrashes blindly at him. ]

Re: THE RING

[shednotearsformagic]

[Oh, well, those are a lot of shards. Throwing up a shield to protect herself and Sunset since she's right next to her.]

Re: THE RING

[crimsonjewel]

Thank you. [pushing herself back up onto her feet, with a great big heave, sword clenched in a death grip in her hands]

Re: THE RING

[shednotearsformagic]

You're welcome. Now keep going, you're doing wonderfully.

Re: THE RING

[ihulk]

[hiding behind that since he wandered too close, and backing up again after that]

Re: THE RING

[shednotearsformagic]

[Making a mental note to keep an eye on him.]

[Maybe should have questions small child here, but too late now.]

Re: THE RING

[stigmateyes]

[ Anyone who is holding a muffin also has a small barrier of protection around them that will ensure bruising is the most possible damage. ]

Re: THE RING

[shednotearsformagic]

[Oh. AWESOME MUFFINS. Good to know.]

Re: THE RING

[floorcandy]

[what if we ate the muffin]

Re: THE RING

[detectivewonder]

[Getting thrown back by the wing, skidding, arrows scattering from his quiver...

But that gives him an idea. Climbing back to his feet, keeping his distance, and starting to re-paint that circle.]

Re: THE RING

[stigmateyes]

[ Going to be hard with the screams of all the people you love ringing in your ears and blocking out all other sound. ]

Re: THE RING

[detectivewonder]

[gritting his teeth, allowing the deafness to help him focus - after all, it means he can't hear what else is going on - and continuing]

Re: THE RING

[antreegonist]

*shields his face from the shards with his free arm, hissing as the shards score him in several places; still, keeps most of his attention on hauling the rope tighter around Alpha's head, helping keep him blinded*

Re: THE RING

[stigmateyes]

[ If you have your muffin, the worst damage you'll get from the shards is bruises... this time. ]

Re: THE RING

[antreegonist]

*WHOA

YOU'RE THE BEST BAKED GOODS*

Re: THE RING

[floorcandy]

[BLASTS AGAIN aiming for the loud yelling thing, just taking any shard hits that get past his slicing]

Re: THE RING

[crimsonjewel]

[up on her feet and going on the attack again]

Re: THE RING

[stigmateyes]

[ Alpha can't see to block Mikage's attack due to Mithos' magic so there goes the other arm. Although one of those wing flails might block Sunset's latest attack and throw her back hard. ]

ENOUGH! I SHALL OBLITERATE YOU ALL AT ONCE THIS TIME!

And then... Alpha is going to use those wings to go airborne since he's now missing upper limbs. Which means he's also probably tugging on Mithos' lightning whip... Eclipse's circle catches him again before he can get especially high, but he's still got some height advantage over the group and seems to be building up power... in his mouth. ]

Re: THE RING

[detectivewonder]

[down to the last of the paint, but grabbing another arrow, dipping it, and shooting at Alpha's mouth]

Re: THE RING

[crimsonjewel]

[sure is knocked back, landing closer to those who've been keeping to the back lines] Owwwww.

He's going to attack! How do we block it?

Re: THE RING

[shednotearsformagic]

[Oh a charging mouth attack of a flyer, that is NEVER good.]

If you can't dodge yourself, I can do barriers!

[And gonna be ready to switch to a shield, but it'd be better if it CAN'T do it and lifting a hand to the sky, sending down a lighting bolt from the sky (or whatever counts as the sky) down for the base of Alpha's neck.]

Re: THE RING

[antreegonist]

*yelps as he's yanked along and the rope goes out of his control momentarily, burning his hands -- but pushes up from the ground, his own wings unfurling*

No you don't--

*and hauling backward with all his strength, trying to yank his aim awry*

Re: THE RING

[floorcandy]

Someone yell when he attacks, I can't see but I can help shield!

[can't see, but he CAN sense energy. shooting off at Ryner's mouth.]
