log; and then everyone died

[subservience]

[... Jiros is actually not quite sure what to do in this situation. Or about being dead, really. His thoughts are somewhere along the lines of '... well, shit' and 'damn' and 'I guess I'm dead'.

...

Oh, and he's being attacked by frogs. That's kind of important too.

SO YEAH RUNNING LIKE THE WIND and half-looking for someone to partner up with though really how is he supposed to tell who else is dead—]

[ #deal with it jiros. he only laughs here. is it your imagination, or did it sound sliiiightly maniacal? ]

Oh, you won't have to worry about that. I'd worry more about yourself--

[ a gush of flames-- he walks up, flicking the pin and snapping it out of the air. heat bursts with every flick. ]

-- incoming claw! [ aaaand celandine ducks. ]

[subservience]

[aljskdasdasd oh god ducking—]

You little—

[okay no not finishing that sentence BUT HE DEFINITELY LOOKS DISPLEASED because a little more warning would be nice...]

[inexistence]

[ he can't see the future jiros!!! just take it as it comes--

and then, he'll smoothly duck behind the bear, and flick the pin again. the bear roars, singed, and it blindly twists towards him. ]

[subservience]

[welp sorry Celandine you're going to be a decoy here.

Since the bear is focused on Celandine right now, Jiros will just be moving to attack it from behind. TRY NOT TO GET HURT CELANDINE PLEASE he still needs you as his partner—]

[inexistence]

-- I hate being the bait-- [ he says this with a familiar tone of long-sufferance, as though he's, in fact, very, very used to playing the bait.

and being rather good at it. because before the bear turns its attention back, he distracts it with another burst of flame, before ducking out of its angry, graffiti claws. ]

[subservience]

[deal with it celandine

—which Jiros might've said himself if he didn't want to draw the thing's attention, so have some silence as he slashes at the bear.

YOU ARE REALLY NOT HIS BATTLE PARTNER OF CHOICE but at least you can take care of yourself, which is good...]

[inexistence]

[ YEAH, but he's not gonna take care of you.

like right now.

another burst of flame and suddenly, he ducks out of the bear's range entirely. leaving it to roar angrily and turn on you, Jiros. ]

[subservience]

[laksjdalsd!?

YOU BETTER STILL DO WORK CELANDINE as Jiros will be ducking to the side because wow thanks??]

Thanks a lot—!

[inexistence]

[ yw jiros.

but huh, it seems like you've dropped the stuffy attitude. even though he's kind of fighting for his life right now, he has to grin. ]

Not yet, Jiros. Goodness, don't be so polite-- [ aaaand, he flicks another pin into the air, before catching that one, too. focusing on a nearby bicycle, he imagines it careening into the bear.

.... one bicycle flying at an enraged bear, coming up. ]

[subservience]

Then I'll thank you for your assistance later—

[YEAH UM moving safely away from the path of that bicycle just in case.]

[inexistence]

[ aaaand bear is getting beaned by a bicycle. letting that pin recharge, he adds another burst of flames. ]

You'd spoil me! I'm looking forward to it-- [ aaaand gonna focus on trying to move this vending machine now. jiros go and be bait this time :T ]

[subservience]

[he is not going to punch you, so don't even hope for it

BUT FINE FINE moving in to slash at the bear please don't hit him with the vending machine—]

[inexistence]

[ he'll settle for some swearing--

whoops, it's a bit too heavy. he frowns here, and tries again, snapping at the pin. give him a minute more-- ]

[subservience]

[... NO.

come on, celandine...]

I would— [slash] —prefer it—

[dodgiiiiiing and slashing some more]

—if you were to hurry it up...!

[inexistence]

[ Celandine's brows furrow. he snaps at the pin with an audible crack. suddenly, the vending machine goes hurtling--

right at the bear. who keens when it crashes right into it, glass shattering.

... that might be a bottle of water falling out of the broken vending machine heading your way, Jiros. ]

[subservience]

[aslksda well he happened to be slashing at the bear at that time and is therefore not expecting something to be falling onto his head (also shattered glass ahem)—

... ow. SHOOTING A GLARE AT CELANDINE you're supposed to be attacking the bear, not him.]

[inexistence]

[ celandine just shoots a tight, controlled smile at Jiros.

and mimes dodging motions.












...... yeah, you should probably dodge right now, because the bear picked up a car and seems to want to smash into you-- ]

[subservience]

[alskjda okay turning his attention back to the bear and, you know, dodging. Welp, better him than his partner, he supposes...

That said, as soon as he moves out of the way, he goes in for another attack. Come on, back him up, Celandine—]

[inexistence]

[ fine fine geez he's already put some effort into it, you'd think that Jiros would be more grateful--

setting off another round of flames, he starts to lure the bear's attention away-- in a circle. essentially blasting off bits of flame successively until the bear is drawn off of Jiros, focusing its attention on him. ]

Can you climb? We need a vantage-- go for the eyes.

[subservience]

[He just nods, with a—]

Don't get hurt.

[—before moving to climb into a car. Or something.]

[inexistence]

[ and there is a car!!! it's upright and everything. have fun, yo. celandine just gives jiros another tight little smile, before dodging and rolling in order to avoid a bear smash!!!!

splintered rock cuts a line of red across his face. he tsks, and snaps another round of flames. ]

You'd better hurry-- I can't play with it forever, you know.

[subservience]

I assure you, I don't intend to lose you as a partner. I do need you.

[With that said, he's trying to move as fast as he can, because hnnnnnnnngh partner getting injured.

Going for the eyes—]

[inexistence]

About as much as I need you? [ that would be celandine pulling at telephone wiring, using that pin to help him wrap it around the bear's neck like a noose.

momentarily off-balanced, the bear tips to one side in Jiros' direction, making it easier to access. ]

[subservience]

I'm not at liberty to decide that for you.

[Welp, thanks for the opportunity, partner.

Jiros quickly jumps up, slashing at the bear's eyes.]

[inexistence]

[ and that is one blinded bear-- ]

Goodness, don't make me take the lead all the time. Out of the way~

[ he transitions smoothly, snapping his fingers for another burst of flame. ]
