"As soon as we're back outside the walls, I want you to channel all the power you can to Blue Mage. The shield must be strong enough to contain the explosion."

[A/N: Believe me, Wik, I would have replied way sooner, but I've been monstrously busy the last couple of days. That's pretty much over now, though.]

who had turned up right before she started her final explanation, SttQ said, "Okay, girl. It's a good thing that you've brought explosives, since the bang can't possibly be too big, but remember to wire them up to the C4. We don't want anything going off before we're all out of the area. And don't even think about lobbing grenades, because that would draw unwanted attention in a big way. By the way, have you got a knife or similar weapon with you?"

[A/N: Sorry for not replying any sooner, but I've been insanely busy lately. Will update much more often now.]

Panted out Kyoki wheezily and apologetically as she staggered over to the group. "I would've shown up earlier, but I just got so indecisive about what I wanted to bring. I ended up just dumping most of my explosive collection into a my backpack... I didn't think I had so much - it's worse than running late with my textbooks."

Carefully setting down the bag, Kyoki rummaged through her jacket pockets muttering, "Not that, forgot I had that... Ooh! That's gonna be useful, but it's not what I'm looking for. Aha!" Pulling out a rubber band, she pulled back her sweaty black black hair into a ponytail and asks, "So what's the plan so far?"

at the soup shop. Suddenly, she said, "You know, just yesterday evening, I was in there with a couple of friends, celebrating a birthday. God, I hope they're safe. We always used to hang out there. Seems like years ago now. Weird what a day can... Wait a minute." She stopped and turned towards the shop, all senses on the alert. "Did that door just open a little?"

...than my own body before, but I think I can help, at least as far as raw power is concerned. As for extending the barrier, the Blue Mage would have to take most of the burden, though much less so if it's an energy type shield. As a Warmage-in-Training, I can still use my sword, and as long as I have my wand with me, I'll still have the power for basic battle spells. I can also cast a silencing spell on pistols, but not on higher-caliber firearms.

"Depends. How powerful is the blast?" The mage asked somewhat nervously.

The 9th Blue Mage knew that making a water based sheild around the area meant that it will seriously drain her energy, possibly even knock her out. She didn't even know if the explosion itself can be stopped by water.

She shakes the feeling off, knowing that there are sues that need to die for everybody's own safety.

keeping a firm grip on her shoulders. "Okay, girl, I want you to listen to me. Look into my eyes. That's right. Now then. It is very important that you stay calm. If you snap and start screaming all of a sudden, it's game over for all of us, got it? All you have to do is focus on the task at hand, and stay on the lookout for enemies. Remember, you're not alone out here. We're all in this together. Here," reaching into a pocket, "have some strawberry-flavored gum. It'll calm your nerves." SttQ turned to head through the gate, then paused and turned her head. "Oh, and Lowtide? It wasn't Harry with the groinsaw, it was Dobby, and Harry killed him. No 'Evil Dead'-horrors involved." I hope, she added mentally.

and smiled. A combat-ready soldier, if ever she'd seen one. "So, Lycaenion, I take it you're ready to jump in? Yes, these things do have power, but no longer nearly as much as they'd like..."

"All right, you two obviously have magical abilities. Do you think that, once we're back out here, you can combine your powers to set up a magic forcefield around the perimeter, to contain the blast? We don't want any civilian lives lost or homes destroyed, after all

a friendly nod, took a deep breath, and addressed her little band of fighters.

"All right, everyone, here's the plan. We take as much C4 and wire as we can carry without slowing ourselves down. The big coil of wire is actually made up of several rolls stacked on top of each other. We each take one of those with us, plus a wire cutter. There's a big box full of detonators on the passenger seat; we'll take some of those too. I'll lead you through the gate and to the old fish packing plant, which consists of several buildings. Once there, we spread out, stuff C4 in any crack we can find (remember, it kneads like clay) and connect the charges. When you've finished with the last charge, put in one end of the wire you have left, and unroll it behind you as you come back here. We'll connect the wires to this little reception device," she took it out of her pocket, "and clear the area. We then retreat to the hills on the edge of town, pick out a comfortable spot and," she gave an unpleasant grin, "enjoy the lightshow. Now then," growing serious again, "keep in mind that there will very likely be bit characters and Cute Animal Friends patrolling the area. Take them out as quickly and silently as you can, preferably from behind. Do not use fire-arms unless it's absolutely necessary. The last thing we want is bringing a murder of Sues down on our heads. Everything clear? Good. Now for your individual orders."

I'm not giving the impression of pushing you or anything. By all means, focus on your studies first.

Feel free to tell me if I'm being whiny.

even more so."
Galenfea squinted. At least without artificial light her eyes were adjusting well to the dark. She could see the shape of the sign she was heading for and moved out into the middle of the road to keep away from doorways, broken windows and alleyways. SttQ walked beside her, shotgun at the ready. Galenfea didn't like guns as a rule - came of growing up in a country where they were all kinds of illegal, she guessed - but she had to admit that she was glad of this one.
Fortunately, they made it to the soup shop without incident. Galenfea had never seen it dark. Somehow that was creepier than anything else.

[I was just afraid you'd think I'd abandoned this RP, just because I'd started up a new one.]

I'll try and get something good up today.

, A voice said to the group, "What am I missing?"
The voice belonged to a girl, who had just noticed them. The girl had blue eyes and long, red hair that was tied into a ponytail by her pink ribbon. She worn a plain yellow shirt, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. She also had circular glasses on, as she couldn't read very well without them.
She straighted her pointy blue hat as she thought about what she should do next. As she did this, she made sure that her sapphire was within the red backpack that she had on. She sighs in relief when she realizes that it's still there, then speaks out once again to SttQ and the others,
"The 9th Blue Mage is finally here, at your service!"

((OOC: If I'm doing anything wrong, you just let me know. I'm trying my best at writing as I possibly can.))

thought SttQ, looking at Lowtide. That was... disquieting. She shook her head to clear it. "Lycaenion? Any questions?"

At first, Lowtide seemed to calm down a bit. That van wasn't about to suddenly blow up and kill them all, and that fact was doing small wonders for her nerves. She had even gone as far as to release a small sigh of relief, which the Ironic Overpower quickly punished her for when SttQ told her and everyone else there what they'd be doing tonight. "Wait, Sues and Stu's, here? But... Isn't that someone else's job to take care of? There's gotta be, like, evil horny fox girls and people that can kill me with just their brains and-" She cut off her tirade in mid-sentence, seemingly for little to no reason at all. But there was a reason for it, oh yes there was. It involved a Harry Potter impersonator she had heard about recently, some sick monster who had a very scary and implausible weapon attached to his-

"Ohmigod we're all going to get killed by a crazy kid with a chainsaw for a groin, aren't we?! I don't wanna die, I don't wannadie Idontwannadie!" She was quite visibly shaking at this point, seeing as her imagination was now supplying her with some vivid images that belonged in a Silent Hill game. Her left hand was clutching the hilt of her Zanpakutō while her right was shakily fishing something out of her pocket. It looked like she was about to have an absolute fit at this point, but somehow she managed to fish out a pair of small medicine bottles, unscrew the cap with her other hand, and quickly down a pill, followed by another pill from the second bottle. Then, a few deep breaths later, she spoke back up again. "Um, s-sorry about that, I-I'll probably be fine in a minute or two. C-can you go over the plan?" She was already starting to twitch less already.

"None here. I'm willing to go with whatever you're planning. My sword and wand is in your hands."

when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned and saw a somewhat messy-looking blond girl, who was obviously nervous and confused. Looked like it might be time for that debriefing.

thought SttQ, we got ourselves a nervous one here. Have to fix that, or she could put us all in danger.

Noting the girl's nervous glances at the van, she said, "Don't be afraid. C4 is relatively safe. Lighting it with a match will only make it burn slowly, like a piece of wood, and even shooting it with a rifle won't make it blow up. Only a triggered detonator can make that happen. Just think of it as molding clay. As for the situation..." She stopped and bit her lip, praying that her explanation wouldn't cause Lowtide to fly into a complete panic. Finally, she decided to give her (and everyone else) the lowdown in overflowing measure. Addressing the small group, she said,

"Okay, um... Behind these walls, in the building that used to be the fish packing plant, all the worst Sues and Stus in the history of badfic are currently assembled. No-one seems to know how they got here (though I'm guessing evil summoning rituals were involved), but CIA reports indicate that they have been planning," here she took a deep breath, "the total Sueification of the world for some time now. They have only gathered here to discuss the final details.

You can easily see why we have to succeed. Because if we fail, then by tomorrow morning the whole world will have become an urple and wilver nightmare asylum. All living things will have been wiped out by an overdose of glitter, and only Sues, Stus and Cute Animal Friends will be left. This is what we are here to stop.

As for combat, the best thing would be to avoid it altogether, but this may not be possible. We shouldn't actually have to go inside the building, but we all know what Sue senses can be like. If those things detect us, there'll be big trouble. Granted, Sues like, say, laura and Clbr**n won't put up much of a fight, but there are also goddess!Sues and ultimate!warrior!Stus around. However, further reports state that their powers have degraded considerably since they entered World One. It seems," she said with a grim smile, "that the innate coherence of our world is proving a bit too much for them.

So," she finished, "shall I outline the plan, or are there more questions about the situation? If so, ask them quickly, because the clock is ticking."

((Then again, I'll just make it so he did so offscreen.))

Wik began casting spells on himself in order to increase his strength, accuracy, luck, and agility. He also surrounded himself with an invisible field of magic that acted as armour while muffling his movements. When no preparations remained to be made, he took out a DS, lowered the volume to nothing, and began playing.
