DUNGEON LOG: KEYSTONE SHORE

[phantasmods]

The morning of the 9th, everyone will get a message sent to their communication devices -

Okay, guys! I think we have enough stabilizers to try and get the shoreline stable. If you want to help out, grab your supplies and come on up to the roof!

When characters arrive at the roof, they'll find Top - with a wheeling table full of many copies of the same odd-looking device - the two exploratory drones, and a ramp down off the roof to the ground. (The latter looks a little hastily constructed.)

"Okay," Top says, picking up one of the devices. "Here's the stabilizers. Stick them to walls and stuff - mostly out of the way places where they're not going to get knocked off - and then press the buttons along the side."

They demonstrate, unfolding the set of legs at one end of the device before showing the buttons to anyone who's close enough. "Go ahead and take a couple, especially if you've got one of those space-saving inventories going on, I know there's like four of you with those? Strange got some first aid kits together, too, if you want."

Sure enough, another table nearby has the med kits... As well as traditional paper bag lunches, courtesy of Bottom. Don't question it too much.

"We'll be staying back here to keep track of the stabilization progress and work the drones," Top says, "but don't hesitate to call if you get in trouble! We'll send one of these guys down to get you an evac if you need it."

And with that, you're free to go down the ramp... Or to make for the beach however else you might choose to go.

[You know what is long-standing Persona user tradition for when all enemies are down? Hitting it with everything they have. Normally he'd have a dramatic call to attack here, but since he's kind of deaf right now...he's just going to give the most obvious flourish of his sword he can and charge at it in a flurry of wings and glowing slashes.]

[shiritai]

[ Well, it's nothing quite so fancy but there sure it's a tiny blonde girl joining the fight by aiming to that typewriter case over the bird's head. A touch overkill but that's how we do things. ]

[byanyother_name]

[Kurama might not be a Persona user yet but he's been in enough fights with Goro and Akira that he knows how this goes. His eyes flick to Goro when the bird staggers, just in time to see that blatant flourish.

He'll cover your dramatic call to attack, darling.]

This is the end! Everyone, we'll finish it with everything we have, together!

[And maybe for Kurama at this moment that involves turning his whip into a goddamn buzzsaw, but to each their own.]

[founderinglight]

Everything we have, mm?

[Chances are that no one even heard that over their induced deafness, Izunia.

Still, there's a faint flicker of light as he releases from the cliff wall he's hanging off of - Prompto or Noctis would recognize it as a weapon switch - and then his rapier is in hand again.

Rather than trying to warp in this time, though, Izunia tosses the weapon from one hand to the other - leaving an arc of blue light afterimages hanging in the air in front of him, identical to the thin blade. And then he lets them loose, six thin blades of light coming down on the gull's wings like particularly flashy nails.

Lucis Caelums always gonna show off.]

[Yeah, Wren's actually really pissed now. There's sand in her mouth and hair, and she's more than ready to see this stupid creature die already. She puts away her Brave Lance and draws Gungnir in its stead.

Its power flows through her body, increasing her strength to superhuman levels, and she flies up a short ways. Just barely registering Kurama's call to arms, she joins the attack by divebombing the gull, seeking to run the damned thing right through.]

[matchmakes]

[Robin would be right there along with his sister, provided he had a flying mount, but he doesn't, so he's just gonna have to attack from the ground.

(Once he recovers a little from the sudden blast of sand in his face, at least. Gods damn it all, it's like fighting in Plegia all over again!)

His hands grip Balmung's hilt tighter as he backs up a bit before charging again--this time with the intent to stab rather than slash.]

[superstylishsquid]

[So, teamwork isn't usually Alastor's thing...but he's not about to say no to a dramatic finisher. A second sword appears in his free hand and he launches himself into a spinning dive, essentially turning himself into a flying blender.

Vortex time!]

[have_hat_will_travel]

[As Goro charges in, followed by several others, Pidonus realizes her song's not working for everyone - the sheer noise Astolfo used was screwing up her song! That left plan B...

... Namely, energy starting to crackle between her fingers as she charged in, using multiple Aetherically-charged strikes to empower a rapid series of strikes with... Well, if anyone looked, it'd look like her hands almost, but more like claws forming over them.]

[rhododendronhoney]

[Well, Cori's just going to duck away to avoid the attacks coming right at the bird. Her shadow, twirling beneath her, finally comes to life, boiling with letter-like symbols of darkness that slash at its bad leg.]

We're having roast gull for dinner tonight!
