We Are Our Avatars VIII: Interdimensional Jaunt. (Closed up, thanks for playing.)

[Drakmorg]

Jess puffed out one of cheeks in a pout as she read over the legend. "Ugh, it's all natural-user crap. I can't buy anything from these places." She looked over it again, checking to see if there were any stores that specialized in selling magic items and devices.

 

[DotSlash]

Jess would see a few trinket shops and stalls scattered around the halls on this floor and one immediately above. On the third floor, she'd note there was a large shop focused solely on magic items.

Ness looked over toward Jess and smiled mischievously before lightly poking her puffed out cheek. [color=666666] "Looking around won't hurt, will it? I might be able to get something from one of these places later." [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

"Yeep!" The fur on Jess' tail bristled up as she hopped back, startled by Ness poking her. Her face got pout-y again as she started smoothing out her tail, but shortly broke as she giggled and smiled. "I found what might be a pretty good place on the third floor, but I guess looking around at other places for a bit won't hurt."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness covered her mouth in a vain attempt to hide her giggles as Jess hopped back and her tail fur spiked up. As Jess talked about the 3rd floor shop, she nodded. [color=666666] "Alright, we'll look around once we find that place then..." [/color] She turned, lacing her hands behind her back, and walked toward one of the tubed platforms. [color=666666] "Let's get going~" [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

After she had gotten her tail back down presentably, Jess looked back to Ness and nodded with a smile. She caught up and walked next to her, curiously looking over the lift as they approached it.

 

[DotSlash]

The platform was golden or seemed to be at least plated gold with a single strip of blue around the base of it. The blue stripe pulsed slowly, showing it had quite a charge powering it. The attendant witch turned toward the two girls and waved cordially as she motioned for them to come on board. Ness complied and after a few more people got on as well, the witch began to chant something until someone suddenly shoved their way onto the lift as well, causing a few groans, but mostly gasps.

The person who had just gotten on the lift cause a few other people to back off, giving them a bubble of space. The girl had fiery crimson hair, the bangs completely covering one of her glistening green eyes. She had on a red witch hat, a deeper shade than her hair and a embroidered robe to match along with it. She crossed her arms and huffed and the attendant witch continued her chant with a bit of fear rising in her voice. The lift then slowly began to rise.

[color=666666] ....I guess she's someone famous... [/color] Ness thought errantly as the crowd closed in a bit around herself.

[color=666666] Please stop. [/color]

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus turned and fired on the spiders advancing on the boy, spreading her shots around so she grabbed the attention of all of them instead of just killing one.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Axton continued to fire at the spiders while Seras moved to put herself between the boy and the spiders. Upon doing so, she started shooting them as well.

 

[DotSlash]

Now aware of the shots coming from the large armored thing, the spiders did their best to keep back from the blasts. This kept the spiders back as the boy now got enough distance to jump through the hole with Danielle. Now pissed their meal had eluded them, the four spiders aimed their abdomens and shot out a spray of web, two strands aimed toward Samus and two toward Axton.

The two injured spiders would be unceremoniously killed by Axton and Seras' shots.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Axton got webbed up, but managed to reach his tomahawk and started to hack at the web.

Seras would look around for a rock or something she could use as a blunt weapon. If she found something, she would use that to charge the spiders and wail on them. Not finding anything, she would just use her fists.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus didn't move in time, and though one of the webs stuck her un-cannoned arm to her chest plate, which really didn't do much, the other hit her feet, sticking her to the floor. She continued firing, this time focusing all her shots on one of the spiders that had webbed her.

 

[DotSlash]

With Samus focusing her fire, the spider she had aimed at was quickly turned into a quivering and slightly roasted pile of flesh and blood. The other three began to focus their webbing toward her, though one spider was blindsided by Seras smashing it with a rock and causing its web shot to go far and wide. This spider was obviously shaken, struggling to get back onto its legs as it dripped blood from the point of impact.

Axton would find that the web was pretty sticky and thus would take quite a bit of time to remove.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus was webbed up when the spiders focused fire, her arm cannon thrown off-target. She struggled to break out of the webbing, but to little success.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras would start tearing the spiders legs off in addition to bashing it with her rock. As soon as it was no longer a threat (not necessarily waiting for it to die) she would leap upon another one and do the same.

Axton would make it so that he could actually use his gun again and would start firing at the spiders again, aiming away from Seras.

 

[DotSlash]

With Samus now webbed up, the two remaining spiders, the third having been ripped up by Seras closed in on the armored woman. Seras rushing at the spiders would go noticed this time as the one she aimed for shot another few strands of web directly at her face. Axton's shots would hit the other spider still moving toward Samus, but not kill it just yet. It made its way close, venom now dripping from its mandibles.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras ducked under the strands of web and dove at the spider who tried to web her.

Axton would switch to his explosive pistol and fire at the spider going at Samus.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus focused on tying to wriggle her cannon free, relying on her armour to defend her if the spiders drew too close.

 

[DotSlash]

Samus would find the web slowly unraveling as she continued to struggle within it.

As Seras dove at the spider, it leaned up and bit at her face with its venom-laced mandibles in retaliation before her strength caused her to knock the spider over. Axton's shots would cause the spider to fall over dead.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras wouldn't be affected by any poison the spider had, but she still got stabbed in the face twice, so she had to take a moment to recover.

Axton would shoot the remaining spider after Seras crawled away from it while clinging to her face.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus continued to try and free herself, though she probably wouldn't get free until the fight was over.

OoC: Sorry, but I gotta go. Godmod if you want.
