(OOC: Oh, drat - I wanted to take out Haruhi. Guess I'll have to go for bigger game instead...)
I opened the emergency pressure valve in the door to discover a group of swords-and-sandals fen on the other side, working themselves into a battle frenzy. "This... is... PHOBOS!"
The valve was big enough. Before I closed the valve, I donated a kudzu grenade to their team, but forgot to include the pin. Once it was safe, I opened the door and said, "That... is... clichéd!"
If looks could kill... I swear, some fen have no sense of humour. We didn't stick around to give them a chance to get free and take their revenge.
We made it halfway down the corridor before Yayoi pushed Leda and me to the deck, just before something raced along the side of the wall. Just "something" - I couldn't see it, but it did make some sort of noise.
"That's a good trick, Jason," Yayoi called out in the direction the sound was travelling.
The Jason. One of the more dangerous opponents, according to Lebia's datafeed. And Yayoi just let him know she could spot him. We were doomed, unless we acted fast. I got what looked like a claymore out of my backpack. Pity; I'd hoped to use it against a mob, not one person, but the Jason was that dangerous.
"Okay, how'd you spot me?" Damn, he was already back. I still couldn't see him.
Yayoi smiled and tapped her glasses once with one finger. "Skuld made these for me."
"Ah. Divine intervention." The Jason looked like he popped into existance right in front of us. "A silly string bomb, Noah?"
I pointed the front of the bomb at him, and grinned. "No, you're agile enough to dodge silly string even at point-blank range. This is ludicrous string!" I hit the detonate button and hoped against hope that the Jason wasn't fast enough to dodge the entire effect...
(OOC: Your call, Fenian. Is the Jason out, or was he fast enough to dodge all the silly-string-on-steroids from Noah's ludicrous-string bomb? And did he retaliate before (not) being tagged?)
