abyssianmelodyWho: Anise, Arietta, Guy, Ion, Jade, Mieu, Natalia, Tear, Van
Where: Choral Castle's roof
When: Right after the "Don't tease the Gynophobe" scene
Warnings: None I can think of
Guy paused before checking around the corner, listening. There were some soft noises, barely audible, coming from behind him that he assumed were the others. Ahead of him, there was still nothing, just the sounds of small rodents in an old building.
Listening to make sure that the others were coming closer, and weren't in trouble, Guy cautiously peered around the corner. Regardless of how easily he'd agreed with Jade's reasoning for their plan, it didn't mean that he was entirely comfortable. He'd nearly bitten his tongue trying not to cry out when a rat made him jump slightly, and he was glad that the others hadn't been there to see it (although, it was likely because he was alone that he had jumped).
Not seeing anyone, Guy turned the corner and slid along the wall to the next corner. He caught a glimpse of movement behind him, and turned to see shadows moving along the wall. He pulled his sword, ready to attack, but then saw that there was a broken window, and that the wind was blowing the tattered curtains. Guy released the breath he'd caught, and checked around the corner again. It was a flight of stairs, ending in a door.
Guy didn't like this. If his sizing up of the building was correct, then that door led to the roof. However, once he opened it, anyone on the roof would be able to see him before he'd see them. He could wait for the others, but with the stairs to the door, it would be a bottleneck. Guy slid back to the first corner and listened again. The sounds of the others coming up behind him were definitely closer. If he could hear them, and they were trying to be quiet, then they were definitely close enough to hear him if he yelled.
Guy made up his mind. If he was attacked on the roof, he'd yell, and the others would know that he walked into a trap. If he was lucky, Arietta and whomever (or whatever) may or may not be up there would be more interested in taking more hostages than killing him, although he more hoped he'd be able to defend himself until the others could reach him.
Taking a deep breath, Guy drew his sword, climbed the stairs, and put his hand on the old handle. Releasing his breath, he opened it.

Date: 2009-02-25 07:16 am (UTC)Guy brought his sword to the front, holding it and his scabbard ready to attack. When the liger came for him, he sidestepped to his left, swinging his sword as he did. He kept an eye on where the edges of the roof were, and where might give way under him, so he didn't fall on accident.
Fighting on the roof left little room to maneuver without risking falling off. As such, there was little for the liger to do other than to let the blade cut into it. The creature roared in pain, but the wound wasn't enough to stop it completely. Turning to Guy once more, it swiped at him with its claws.
"How dare you!" Arietta growled, seeing her friend take a hit. She didn't expect her and her friends to come through a fight uninjured, but it still angered her when someone hurt one of her monsters. "You're going to pay for that." Holding her doll in front of her, she began preparing to cast an Arte.
Crap, Guy thought. He'd forgotten about her, and while he was decent at defending against fonic artes, that was on their own, not when he was trying to fight a monster at the same time. Guy winced as the liger's swipe caught him in the leg, but, as with his swing, not much damage.
He closed his eyes, and called out "Void Tempest!", sweeping his blade in an arc, the attack heading toward the liger.
That attack was more powerful than the previous one, and it managed to knock the liger off its feet. It wad down for the moment, but there was no telling how long that would last.
Arietta's own attacks could come at a distance, but the same couldn't be said for her friend. There wasn't much she could do to help the liger since she wasn't a Seventh Fonist, but she was definitely going to make that human pay for hurting the liger. "O twisted door, open wide! Negative Gate!"
Guy didn't have time to recover from his strike arte and avoid Arietta's attack at the same time, and got hit by it. He was thrown backward a bit, not enough to push him over the edge, but a bit closer than he'd prefer. He was definitely going to need help soon, he wasn't sure how much longer he could hold off both the girl and her monster.
