just a couple kids on a summer street

Who: Souji ( [personal profile] socials ) & Homura ( [personal profile] timeshields )
When: 06/28, 06/29
Where: Downtown on the Near Shore
What: Team Izanagi decides to deal with some yakuza and ayakashi in one fell swoop.
Warning: Minor violence

Though Souji is a social creature, nowadays, he understands that his shinki isn't in the least bit. It's in contrast to both Reiji and Akihiko, although they were social in different ways, but, really, he cares a great deal about Homura and her comfort. He's not about to force her into a situation that she's not comfortable in.

Which is why he's opted to take this prayer. She doesn't do well in social situations, but she does do well in combat ones, and stealth as well. This prayer calls for them to at least locate the den, if not deal with yakuza or ayakashi. It feels a lot more appropriate than the prayer they helped Nanako with, even if they all enjoyed it. For the most part.

Long and the short: let Homura do behind the scenes work or fight things, when it comes to prayers. It'll result in less stress for her.

A few of the ayakashi decide that Souji is the better target. He's threatening and the kids will be here to torment later. Rid the threat go back to business.

The second the ayakashi are far enough away from the humans Homura stops time around them. Souji can be bait, but she won't let harm come to him. There are at least five of these little things trying to go for him and stopped in their tracks.

She watches and observes the world around them. It might be in stasis for the moment, but there's no telling if something else might show up and attack. The range is only so wide and she can't prevent things from coming into her zone.

Alright. She's here for any backup Souji might need, but she's not a weapon herself. The best she could be used for in this form is bashing against an ayakashi.

There was a particular reason Homura specialized in ranged weapons over close combat. The farther she stayed the more consistently she could use her magic. In the beginning it was just weakness- her power was conditional and not suited for slaying Witches and she was a sickly young woman then.

It's strange to see Souji's Persona, but the attack that Ishtar uses doesn't seem odd at all to her. Of course something like that would have some sort of energy attack. She doesn't question it, much like she doesn't question a lot of things about herself.

We're done with these. Do you want to do more? There's an undertone of worry, but if they can keep freezing time when they come towards them, they can keep it up for a while.

Summoning other... beings? Is strange to her, but she's easily accepting of it. They seem to be some sort of power Souji's comfortable using. It's soothing that her god has some way of attacking- because as a shield with a stop time power it would have been bad if he couldn't. These prayers would be nearly impossible.

Understood. As they tested last time, as long as they stay within the five-minute limit, Homura can switch it on and off. Once they hit five minutes she needs a long rest before she can utilize it again. So for now, she'll keep time frozen for Souji to explore.

There's a pause as she considers it. It would be a useful thing for them to know. Considering how much Souji wants to help people, and how often ayakashi tend to be part of prayers, it only makes sense. Getting to use it during a prayer seems like a reasonable step. The setting of a mission with various stressors is likely where it'll see most of its use anyway.

It shouldn't go poorly, at least.

Let's try it.

It's an odd feeling. Her vessel power at its very core is a simple one. She can freeze time for five minutes in a ten-meter radius around her. It has more use as support than full offense.

With Souji's augmentation affecting it, it's still a support power. But the range of it seems to double and her comfort with the extended time seems to grow exponentially. Whatever hints of exhaustion were present melt away.

I have a twenty-meter radius of frozen time. I don't feel anywhere close to my time limit.
timeshields: (But if you want to leave take good care)

[personal profile] timeshields 2017-04-04 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
She had no idea what to expect. This was the first time she'd felt Souji's augmentation and what a jump it is. The amount she was used to was comfortable, it could account for quite a bit, but a twenty-meter radius means she can stop projectiles from far away now. That's plenty of distance for Souji to work with and now plenty of time for her to work under. They were reaching two minutes before, but she can't even feel the exhaustion of using it.

I know we will. Pride and confidence in their partnership run along the god-shinki bond. She believes him entirely.

Ayakashi show up all over the place for all sorts of reasons, and she's long ago accepted that. Most of them she notes down as not her problem. If they're not bothering Souji or Nanako they're not worth pursuing. It's a different matter when Souji wants to track them down.

She can't sense exactly where the nest might be, or if there is one in particular. But she knows that this many of them hovering around people is unnatural at best.

We're getting closer.
timeshields: (It's disgusting how little that you try)

Homura cannot be bothered to give a singular damn about people outside of her very small ring of important people. Unfortunately for her, all of her important people on the Far Shore have this annoying habit of caring about everybody. She's not about to let them go off on their own when she can do something about them. So she'll go along with it.

More for their sakes than for anybody else's.

There's something bigger in the area.

Homura bristles in the odd space that shinki seem to occupy in their vessel forms.

Most likely. Why couldn't any other god take a job like this? There are plenty of more combat oriented shinki out there. But here's Souji, willing to help as long as the problem is in front of him. Homura finds it excessive and tiring, but like hell he's going out there alone.

It's a few alleyways away. I'll stop time when we get close. You can have a good look at it. And be in no danger is what she doesn't add.

She can't stop him, so she can at least be there for him. All the time, whenever he needs her. ... It's not like she's planning on leaving him any time soon. With a bleeding heart like his and Nanako's somebody has to exist to settle them.

Her time stop isn't active right now. But the base power of knowing where the ayakashi are doesn't stop. She's agitated as they get closer to their target.

There are more ayakashi the closer we get.
timeshields: (But then a lot of nice things turn bad)

He doesn't need to save everyone, not to mention that's impossible. Even as a god, he can't be everywhere. If he would just leave some of these problems for the other Far Shore residents, she'd be a little happier.

Not that she's expecting that out of him.

They're concentrated around the biggest one. The ones further out are alone.
