The "SAVE THE ORPHANS" Charity Ball ; part 4/4

[jokerish.livejournal.com]

[time has been given for everyone to de-cape, de-cowl, tattle on their friends... and now, it's time for the punchline to this little joke of his.

the lights in the room once more dim, and the spotlight on stage sets the attention to Mistah J - he grins victoriously, something gleeful and manic in his eyes as he steps aside, letting a projector screen fall from the ceiling behind him.]

You're all so kind, Paradisa... but some of you are a little too... late in your lives to offer the recompense these poor orphans deserve. You'd know all about that, wouldn't you...

Brucey Bruce?

[his eyes fixate on Mr. Wayne, and he opens his arms, gesturing Bruce on stage. after a moment's consternation, Bruce reluctantly agrees - looking badass despite his cane and carrying that Batman-esque hard set of his jaw.

once he reaches the Joker's side, Mr. J flings an arm all buddy-buddy over his shoulders.]

Thattaboy, Brucey.

Now, how about we introduce ParaDIsa to Gotham's most notorious orphan and his menagerie of failures?

[the spotlight dims; the Joker turns, guiding Bruce to do the same as the projector reel begins playing. there is a crudely drawn stick figure version of each of the batkids - one for each of them. Damian, Dick, Steph, Cass - etc, all the way to Batman himself. Drawn by Harley. In lipstick.

there are a few photos - all various failures the batlings have orchestrated in their lives (in his canon; he just makes up random shit for the rest of them it's tl;dr don't make me write this).]

But the biggest failure of all, Batman... is also the best joke you've ever inadvertently told. The passing of one Bruce Wayne... the inheritance of Gotham's most notorious orphan, from you...

[he snaps his fingers; the goonies around the room abruptly begin firing into the crowd - they're missing, purposely, scaring people as they begin to usher them back out towards the doors, some holding children hostage as they direct everyone to LEAVE THE PREMISES if they aren't with the VIP party - the Bat family.

I REPEAT: GET OUT UNLESS YOU AREN'T WITH THE BATFAMILY, OR WE'LL KILL KIDS.

meanwhile, a familiar face is making his way out from the curtains...]

...Damian... Wayne.

[ooc: MINUTE TO SET UP THREADS OKAY GO

reply here with fleeing outside the comedy club. THERE WILL BE "PEOPLE" (player characters) firing toxin into the crowd as people leave; those who are getting FATALLY or NON-FATALLY gassed can start posting as much in the appropriate thread below. ENJOY.

P.S - you can just reply to the post if you're fleeing for your life or otherwise outside of the club!]

How fun. [and despite this face? That was in complete monotone as she lifts her hand up high in preparation to send forth another wave of those things with just a subtle glance over her should to see if she can tell whether or not Bakura and the Accountant have made it back yet]

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

Aagh...

[ "So you wanna be in SOLDIER? Hang in there." Zack could beat this. he had beaten such severities as this before. MOVE! shaking, he forced himself to his feet, taking a trembling stance as he shook his head ]

Haah...haah... I'm fine. [and he'd do it again to protect people]

[givingchase.livejournal.com]

[... That was no good. There was no way Cloud could defend himself from a second wave of those things. A pang of sorrow went through Sora. This was what I was supposed to protect other people from!Sora dismissed his Keyblade and, going to Cloud's side, shoved a shoulder under his arm and hauled.] You're not my Cloud, you didn't have to do it.

[cloakand_danger]

[Yuan grits his teeth as he pulls up the barrier again. It's harder every time - he might not be able to manage a third, and the mana drain cuts into his offensive spellcasting as well.]

Magnetic Barrier!

[She can't keep it up forever...right?]

[azarath.livejournal.com]

[Hey, sup gang? After something happens to finish the thread below, Raven comes back with a vengeance, black barrier streaking in front of Yaya to stop a good portion of the feathers from reaching their targets.]

Your friends won't be coming back for a bit.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Oh dear god another wave of them? Instead of making a barrier this time, he instead jumps up high and swings his cape (http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/113/15/) at the feathers that weren't blocked at by Raven so they'll go flying back at Yaya]

[berefts.livejournal.com]

[go ahead and toss my feathers back at me bitch, Collie and Yaya aren't even going to dodge >O naturally the Phoenix brings a wing around to protect Yaya from them even as the Shadow itself gets cut up by the returned fire; even its head is getting half sliced off, but one loud....screech or w/e from Collie and the feathers are cracking away, and any and all damage it sustained is knitting itself back together]

Tee hee, you fools. The Phoenix and I are immortal, you can't hope to defeats us with petty tricks like that.

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

[everyone was trying so hard to protect one another. and what happened to Cloud? he got himself hurt, be it for all the right reasons or not. carefully so, without meaning to be harsh, he nudged himself away from Sora as he steeled himself, back on two feet and raising his sword high. he wasn't the Cloud that Sora knew. that was his reasoning? he couldn't help but faintly smirk at that, raising the Fusion Sword high over his head as he stared up at Yaya]

You say that...like I need a reason to do this.

[high above, a swirling vortex of crimson and black appeared, the ridges of it ablaze as if something were being summoned. at the same time, a bright blue aura enveloped Cloud as he pushed himself further. he was tired of having things thrown at them. he'd throw something back]

Stars...

[suddenly, he thrust the tip of his sword into the ground,]

Rain down! [a flurry of meteorites are now coming down over Collie and Yaya. Meteorain]

[givingchase.livejournal.com]

[... Yeah, he was definitely a different Cloud. Still, it wasn't a bad thing. At the spell, Sora looks up into the sky. Meteors... Like Sephiroth? Sora grins.] If you wanna play that way...

[Sora's magic was probably running dry, but he could still fire off some of his longer ranged attacks before falling back on close combat. Pointing his keyblade at the little pink figure, he yells] Fire! [ Four huge fireballs erupt from his keyblade, barreling in her direction.]

[cloakand_danger]

[Yuan's tired, but not too tired to get off one last spell. He focuses one more time, tossing a final burst of mana, not even bothering with the focus chant this time.]

Indignation!

[And that's the last of his mana. If he doesn't get to hit something with a sword or eat some fruit (don't ask), he'll have to resort to wimpy little lightning bolts and taser blasts for a while.]

[azarath.livejournal.com]

[Raven closes her eyes and waits for their attacks to hit. She's shaking a little, having used up a good amount of energy on Bakura and Timmy.

Once the attacks hit, her eyes open, and, instead of two blue ones, there are four red ones. Dark energy starts to surround Yaya.]

Azarath Metrion Zinthos!

[Dark bubble get.]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[he lands on the ground and turns his weapon into sword form and points it towards Yaya. Concentrating really hard, holy lightning starts to form and a couple ball of holy lighting form around Yaya and the Phoenix, attacking at extremely high temperatures and well, holy power. ] Death ball!

1/5 DID NOT FORGET YOU YUFF AND LMAO DEATHBALL WTF IS THAT

[berefts.livejournal.com]

[damnit you all, don't you know that's pointless? ): You're boring her!]

I told you before, it's useless.

2/5 DEATH BAALLLLLL

[berefts.livejournal.com]

[once again the Phoenix gathers its wings around Yaya to protect while it takes the brunt of all the damage. WHICH REALLY EFFS IT UP, BUT YAYA'S SAFE]

3/5 FUCKING BALL. OF DEATH.

[berefts.livejournal.com]

[it's piecing itself back together when Raven's power comes out of effing nowhere though, and Yaya looks at it in surprise--right before the Phoenix has an 'oh shit' moment and tries to spread its wings]

4/5 LOOOOOOOL IT'S LIKE DROWNING IN A BALL PIT OR SOMETHING

[berefts.livejournal.com]

[--but it's too late! As the darkness cuts off all light from the outside world entirely the Phoenix fades away entirely, leaving Yaya once again in control of her body and consciousness without the Phoenix overpowering her!]

5/5 I THROW THIS DEATHLY BALL @ J000000

[berefts.livejournal.com]

[JUST IN TIME TO BE HIT BY FUCK DEATH BALL, god why; it's a good thing Yaya shares the Phoenix's flesh regardless of being manifested or not otherwise you would have killed her ajkfhajkf

So a terrified little girl scream breaks through the air as she gets TORCHED BY ALL THAT, THANKS. And Raven? Have a huge-ass surge of emotion from this girl now because Yaya is horrified omfg]

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

[wait for it... his stance settles as he watches the horrified little girl. no remorse, but he didn't want to sigh just yet and think it was over]

...

[holding breath]

[givingchase.livejournal.com]

[Sora freezes at that horrifying sound. For all of his bravado, he didn't want to actually hurt someone who looked so defenseless.




Then he came back to his senses because dude, this chick was trying to fucking kill them all. He rears back and throws his blade at her in a black metal blur. Because in Sora's world, nothing stays down until you beat it twice.

Strike Raid coming at you, Yaya.]

[cloakand_danger]

[Yuan just...watches, still standing beside Cloud and Sora. Honestly, there's not a whole lot else he can do at this point, at least from a distance. And he doesn't really want to be the one to charge in if she's faking it.]

[azarath.livejournal.com]

[With a final surge of power, the dark energy around Yaya offers one more pulse and then starts to slowly dissipate. When it's gone, Raven blinks again, eyes now back to normal.

A suddenly tired look crosses her face, and before she can help herself, she's falling towards the roof.]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[That's what you get for mocking the death ball you loli brat. But actually Allen is looking a bit horrified up at Yaya as she was screaming in pain from her attack since um he almost never attacks humans. And then he sees Raven start to fall-]

No! [Start trying to move towards her; though he's a bit far away oh god-]

[echivoc.livejournal.com]

[See, sometimes it's more fun to watch than be a part of the action~ Cross — skull mask gone, by the way — was pretty close to the action, and only moved whenever he felt the battle was going to entrench himself, as well. Now that it was dying down, he was itching to move away before noticing his idiot Allen start moving again, and followed the boy's gaze to the figure falling. The general quickly gauged the distance between the falling form and himself before closing the gap so he could safely catch the form.

Hello, pretty lady~]

[rasenhadou.livejournal.com]

[And out of nowhere there's a massive, very visible claw suddenly surging out of the roof. It's grabbing Yaya and yanking her downwards, out of the way of the Strike Raid attack and...

Straight through the roof. Down into the Comedy Club, the basement, and it's not stopping as it drags her straight into the ground.]
