Prayer #06: a quiet death hanging imminently
Who: Allen Walker and Lux Crownguard
Where: Some ominous hospital in Tokyo
When: June 20th
Summary: In the inevitable follow-up after their first prayer... God and shinki also fight together for the first time since the mass suicides a few days prior, which she... may or may not still be miffed at him from for the rough handling... which he may or may not be feeling guilty for, he kind of sucks at normal swordsmanship..
[ Not long after the first man they'd helped, there were more reports of a strange rash of deaths and sickness in the elderly. Reports on the news (Victorian shounen hero meets 24/7 news cycle: who let that happen, really), growing fear among those who had elderly relatives. And yet no common disease among any of them, just...
Just one particular part of the city it all seemed to occur in.
Which is what brings the two of them atop this particular hospital this evening. Yes, atop, as Allen is currently scanning the concrete horizon and trying to keep his eyes from watering at the gale that's begun to pick up. (A coming storm?)
And maybe giving her a slightly confused look over his shoulder as he does so if she seems to be hanging back at all.What? What's strange about going in via rooftop? You can see things!! ]

The ayakashi did not see this coming and, slamming into its back, the spirit hunches down, its back shaking from not only the force of impact, but the added pressure that the shield adds. And while it does seem that there is some kind of reaction, the phantom letting out an almost alien shriek, it fights back against it. Pushing against him, its back rising and bringing the Exorcist up with him.
(He could probably hear them, the whispered voices from inside. Pain. Suffering. Anguish. Regret. All feeding into this one centralized force of negativity given physical form.)
Drawing an arm back to grab for the pest currently digging his palms into its back to fling him off the side.
Using this moment of distraction to move, the hilt of her blade winking to life with a gentle, subtle glow, Lux pushes off the lower edge of the railing like a sprinter's block. Propelling herself forward, light trailing behind her, swiping at the ayakashi's side with Radiance--
And feeling a strange sort of feedback.
Shrieking again, the ayakashi pitched; if it hadn't already grabbed Allen by now, it's going to try to buck him off, into the wall behind. ]
Allen! We can't fight it up here! We need to get it away somehow!
[ Not to mention she was certain that another impact like the one before might endanger them even further. ]
