Frigid Climax(Ami, Haruka, Natsume thread)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami looks over at Cypriene with a half smile. "My findings would seem to confirm yours...I don't sense a great deal, but there are a few inside, as well as the anamolus reading I found earlier..."

[Liddo-kun]

"I'm fine," Haruka replies with a smile, letting out a tired breath that fogs in the chilly air.  She brushes her hair back from her forehead and surveys the the settling landscape, which only a while ago had been occupied by conflict.

Pushing off the ground now with the aid of her Space Sword, "I'm just a bit tired, that's all," she tells the girl, trying to get up off the cold ground.

She lets out a small squawk as her uncooperative legs send her bumping into the approaching Viluy.  "Okay, perhaps more than a 'bit'..." she concedes, while leaning against her newly acquired support.

"Are you hurt bad?" Haruka asks Viluy, concern in her tone - she keeps one hand on the girl's shoulder as a crutch, while inspecting her with a critical eye.

[Anastasia]

A nod from the blue haired girl, her braid to the side bobbing a bit. "If they match up...then we'll go in and finish this.

In just a moment," she says quietly, sinking down a bit and using the bench to rest on.

[Anastasia]

Viluy eyes you as well, clear concern there. Her body is uninjured besides that bleeding wound on her leg. Otherwise, her fuku accents her talented body, the cold making it extra noticiable.

Neptune holds you, despite her own stagger. "Haruka....would you not do that again! You scared me," she says honestly. You can see her emotions of worry and fear plainly, the senshi of Neptune not hiding them. "And I'm fine otherwise." Turning at that point to hear Natsume's question, Viluy nods. "We're fine, thank you." Stopping to turn to the girl fully, "Are you alright yourself?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, sympathetically. "I can empathize." She agrees, sucking in a deep breath, and reaching for a second wind within herself, feeling unable to mount much in the way of an effective attack...

[Midnight Sun]

Now that the battle was over, Natsume had time to think, and rest, in greater detail. When they had first arrived, she did not have the chance to really appreciate who it was who had come to her rescue, but now that she had gotten a good look at all of them it was unmistakeable. She could recognize their uniforms from a 100 miles away....

"Ahhh....ummm....e....excuse me," Natsume asks, with all the timidness of a mouse, the distinctly blue haired girl sitting on a nearby bench. "W...would you...errr...I mean is....a...are you Sailor....S...Senshi?"

[Anastasia]

* Musk-bot --> "Ami-chan rolls 2d6+2 for Musky, Please be good to me... ;-; and gets 13."

Ami is giving Mistress 11 a run for her moneyin bad dicing! >_>

IC:

Despite your efforts, you feel wiped. Nothing comes rushing to reinvigorate you at all, only your yawning tiredness.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blinks at the tallish girl they'd come down to meet, puzzled slightly at the timid manner she's addressed in. Shy? Ami wonders. I always imagined athletic girls as rather outgoing...

"Un." Ami nods, smiling and trying not to let on how weary she's getting. "Well, some of us. These are some friends of ours, Cypriene and Ptilol." she replies, gesturing to Cypriene beside her, and Ptilol, nearby. "How are you? You didn't get hurt, I hope?"

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka smiles at the look of concern so clear in Viluy's eyes, the emotion thankfully recieved, but... "I can't make promises I can't keep," she whispers in the girl's ear, pausing a bit before continuing, "If it's to keep you safe I'll do it again a hundred times over.  And  that is a promise."

Separating from Viluy she finds herself teetering slightly and frowns.  Haruka tries to scrape the barrel of her reserves for the strength to see their task through to the end.

Come on Ten'oh, let's get it together! she tells herself.

[Midnight Sun]

"Ah...n...no, I'm perfectly fine!" Natsume says with overenthusiasm. Pounding  lightly on her shoulder to show her sturdyness. "You're...Mercury...aren't you? Sailor Mercury?"

[Anastasia]

* Musk-bot --> "Liddo-kun rolls 2d6 to get it together and gets 8."

IC: Marshalling your waning energy, you feel better after doing so.

Turning back to you, Viluy smiles gently. "I know...just don't do that again, please...." she whispers, leaning in for another destination on your face, lips meeting briefly. "Let's just finish this, Haru-chan." Spoken in a soft whisper, it is heard by you alone, a whisper full of thick emotion.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami bites her lip a little to keep from smiling too widely at the girl's sudden change of demeanor, and simply nods, smiling warmly. "Mm. That's right, Miss...?"

[Anastasia]

As this goes on, a voice shouts from above. "Mercury!" Artemis cries, the sounds of a scuffle upstairs heard on the tower. Looking up, you can see the human Mau grappling with another ice man, this one familiar from even this distance.  The spiky hair does it, really, as does the large body and familiar face. One that is burned in the memory of several senshi...

Oxyite, the statue you saw before. This time, it's moving.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami looks up and gasps, her face going chalk white as the all too familiar shape grapples with her Mau.

"Kami-sama...Cypriene...Can I get up there? Or can you and Ptilol catch him, if he jumps?" Ami asks urgently, almost pleading. "Maybe if he transforms?"

[Anastasia]

"Damn, we weren't paying attention," Cyprine murmurs, springing up and taking you swiftly. Tapping into her already siphoned reserves of energy, Cyprine sends the both of you racing up!

As you do so, you can see the Oxyite statue pressing Artemis against the back of the tower edge, head dangling off as he tries to send him falling!
