Remember where he stands. Where you stand.

Eiko looks troubled by the reminder of her weakness. She can't quite deny if it would work on Julien, since she's never seen him shapeshift, but she notes a headshot with the ring as a possible next move. A weakness to silver is not as common as it used to be.

"Just as scared as I am huh..." She mutters.

>He's a little bitch who can be baited if you tell him so. God's little lap dog
>Every guy's weakness is getting kicked in the balls. Try doing that repeatedly.

Eiko nods sagely in agreement.

>>1118654

The scene enters her mind and soaks into her memory. Eiko's eyes widen as her mind struggles to comprehend the information all at once. Shots exchanged. The baiting. The angel. Julien's terrified expression and screaming..

She grabs onto her head again, unable to fully enjoy Julien's close unmaking. A silent scream on her lips.

Ah... Still fragile it seems.

Her mind goes into overdrive to analyze every detail. Pours over the scene as it plays, then hones into the minuscule crumbs of her brother's murder. Anger wells, then flattens, as Eiko realizes... Julien is just a coward with a complex.

And he doesn't have any goddamn magic.

Eiko's soul sucks back downward before she can fully go into shock.

Eiko's soul rattles back into the physical meat of her being, new powers and all. A pounding headache makes her wince. The memories of something she never experienced split her brain into pieces before remending itself once again.

She coughs. There's blood on her tongue from biting it, she realizes, and the pain of injuries she could not feel in that place-- are now present. A rattling breath escapes her chest. Her side burns. Her fists clench. The left arm slightly spasms.

That's it. Eiko thinks. She's got to keep her temper on a tight leash from now on.

Her eyes lean down to the ring on her finger, the God Caller, then out along the smoky haze in search of movement. No time for thinking if she made a mistake. No time for anything but the present.

She struggles to put her weight down on her arms, ignoring the puddle of blood threatening to form. Her muscles have started to shrink from overexertion. Another not good sign.

A steady breath enters then exits her lungs. Her throat clears.

"I'LL SAVE HER! I'LL FIND HER!" Eiko boasts at the top of her lungs, activating Foolish Gambit. She thought over her plan for as long as she could there. It's a gamble in itself, giving away her position in the hope that the Boss is just as incapacitated, or sets his sights on escaping instead.

She could've risked looking for Vi in the smoke without additional costs to herself, just use what she can of Life Transfer to get the wolf conscious and risk a weird form change... And yet.

She'll prioritize Vi, just as she did for her.

=== FOOLISH GAMBIT ===
Goal: Save Vi.
Challenge: Find and heal her. Wake up if needed.

Define a temporary aid that cannot be more powerful than Life Transfer.

An element of Interest can also be added. Vex cannot be summoned at this time.

temporary aid: life sense; in a limited range Eiko can see the life force of living creatures as a soft glow. This ability is not blocked by walls or other things that obscure sight. The glow is dimmer the closer the creature is to death.

>>1118983
Temporary aid: Enhanced senses. Sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch(whoops those wounds might feel a bit weird!).
Environmental challenge: strange smells are carried by the wind...

BOON:UNlife
You may go into negative stamina and you won't die, even from normally fatal wounds during the duration. The wounds also don't heal during the duration AND you feel them all, including phantom pains from flesh lost. Life transfer into negatives is possible if you don't mind AGONY. At the end of the duration you will be restored to a stable but broken condition at one stamina if you end in the negatives. There may be (potentially permanent) aftereffects depending on the nature of sustained injuries.

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS:
RANMA 1/2 Activated with a twist: YOU SHALL WEAR BROTHER'S BODY AND FACE

YOU MUST KILL JULIAN WITH YOUR OWN TOOTH AND CLAW.

If you look Julian the eyes to see him desperate and terrified as the life flees his body you'll heal a bit.

Say, some of the low end members you were fighting earlier are still nearby - if they were to see you *now*, I bet they'd be inclined to follow one simple order from you- If they don't piss their pants running first, hehehe.

A trash tier divine trinket flew from Julian's possession in the recent chaos. It's effect is subtle, but if you pluck it from the ground you might just gain the edge on him. But the second angel will see you!

Boon: Plot Kevlar
For the duration of your challenge, you have 30% damage resistance to bullets (30% chance to ignore stamina loss when shot) and cannot be critically hit (headshots, heart-shots) with bullets. None of the above applies to damage over time, arrows, thrown weapons, or melee attacks.

Challenge Success Reward: Neumono Fortitude
You take 15% more damage from bullets. You are immune to critical hits by bullets.

>>1118985
This is good.
A glow of life that can be both seen and scented.
Lean upon her caniform strengths.

Life Sense has been temporarily granted.

Immediately, Eiko's vision and sense of smell sharpens, the soft glowing shapes of light emerging through the curtain of smoke.

A dim figure seems to be at a crawl. Eiko's eyes draw to the brighter figure, then the much, much, dimmer one just underneath. Her breath catches. It's hard to parse the strange scents among the heavy acrid burn in the air, but there, just subtly, she catches what that dim light must taste like.

Eiko tenses all her muscles, willing herself up out of pure possessed passion. Her legs are unsteady as she stands, form growing slightly smaller. The weight of the ring remains heavy on her digit, shrinking with her size. She tenses her feet to make sure she won't stumble.

Then pauses as a glint on the floor catches her eye.

Eiko reaches down towards it and grabs what looks like a pendant. It glows faintly in her grasp, a weak magic coming off, and shaped like a familiar number. The metal is polished, not silver, but shiny, strong.

Eiko feels calmer while holding it. Yet wrong. Aware, even subconsciously, that what she's holding doesn't like her touch.

She pockets it anyway.

A gaze is unseen far past the smoke as Eiko continues to stalk towards the two figures.

Where the smoke dissipates back into fresh air, along the border of fire, Eiko sees one of the Bites over Vi. They seem to be dragging her out of the smoke.

Eiko stares. She knows this one too. One of the "friends" that was there when her brother founded the Wolf Bites. Someone she was always worried would recognize her. But if she did recognize Eiko, she never said anything.

A memory plays in her mind. On the 4th day of officially being a part of the gang, Eiko asked where she was when the coup happened. The once friend responded, "Being a coward."

Eiko didn't know what to say after that.

"What happened to you? Was that you yelling?" she asks calmly yet with clear urgency, moving now to try and sling Vi's arm over her shoulder, "Are we under attack? I was gonna ask if you could lend a hand-- but you don't look so g--"

The betrayer's body suddenly goes stiff, fur standing, "A-Ah--Akito?"

What?

Oh God how do we pull this off

She sucks at playing the part, but maybe we can guide her into acting better!

Get Vi's other arm. You're getting out of here. Tell coward she can either help or get out of the way.

>>1119158
Tell her you've returned, to enact Justice. She can atone for her cowardice now, by letting you borrow some of her vitality. Maybe even most of it. All she needs to do is take your hand. It may hurt a bit.

Transfer enough health to Vi to stabilize her, but otherwise heal yourself as much as you can without killing the coward. Ideally, you'll be in fighting shape, Vi will survive, and the coward will either be out cold or barely healthy enough for Vi to drag her off. She seems smaller than Vi.

>>1119158
Briefly examine yourself.
That amulet hasnt worked any small magicks upon you, has it?
Only briefly.
More important matters.
Aid the fallen.
It is they you pledged to save, yes?

The one who called themselves coward may yet earn a better name by helping save this one.
Give them that chance.

"There is a god. And he needs to die screaming.

The Alpha has sold his soul to G0D. He sold my dead soul to G0D. He is no longer worthy of leadership - he is no longer worthy of breathing. Eiko won't last long without the rest of the pack. Rally up. Now."

Give VI a point of stamina if you're still low, more if you're not.

"If you had one chance to make things right again... Would you take it?"
If he answers yes, tell him "Then your with me." And make your way to Julian.
If he says no or loses his nerve: "Then I suggest you run."

There is no response.

"Why are you.. wearing that?" The coward prompts again.

Eiko stays silent. Too shaken up to try to respond. How the fuck is she supposed to answer that? This?

>Briefly examine yourself.
>That amulet hasnt worked any small magicks upon you, has it?

Eiko's not sure how to look. Her body hurts. Her mind aches with the adjustment to her changed constitution. Touching the amulet felt strange, but only in the brief instance she held it.

If it did do anything, it wasn't physical. Maybe it's what gave Julien that stupid sense of invincibility. Stroked his stupid ego. Or inflamed it even more.

>Get Vi's other arm.

Her body moves easily, the command finding little resistance in how it aligns with her goals. Her arm hooks under Vi's as she lays it across her shoulder, hoisting her up with the coward's help. The added weight has her muscles scream in aggravation. She's leaner, she realizes.

As a wolf, her brother was always smaller than her.

>Aid the fallen.
>Give Vi a point of stamina if you're still low, more if you're not.

As a test, Eiko tries to... push? some of her stamina into Vi. She winces as she feels what must be a burn transfer to her skin.

[-1 STAMINA]
[STAMINA: 3/18]

She exhales through smoke powdered lungs and wills herself to walk forward once more. Never has she considered hard cardio training until now. It sure would have helped.

Forward. Step. Forward. Drag. Forward. Just until the air becomes clear, she thinks, then she can stop. Then, she can heal.

Mentally, arbitrary numbers seem to pop into Eiko's mind.

>Tell her you've returned, to enact Justice.
>Give them that chance.

Eiko keens to protest at giving second chances. Any arbiter of her brother's death deserves their karmic retribution. Yet, she needs a source to heal from. She needs to save Vi. She needs her retribution. She needs a body that can run without pain. All while in her brother's skin. His face.

Hahahahah... The weight of everything, of the past few days, of the past few years, starts to push a fragile mind into a sense of deranged insanity.

When Eiko speaks, it is not quite her brother's voice. It is not quite her own. It has none of his warmth. None of his charisma. It is awkward. Stilted. It reminds her of a recording, where the expressions match the speaker in the shape of the syllables, yet none of the sound. Too high. Too distorted.

"If you had one chance to make things right again... Would you take it?"

The coward-- because Eiko still can't remember her name-- if it ever mattered-- seems ashamed as she gently places Vi's body down.

"Yes." Her voice is strong as she bows her head, then her body, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry-- that. That you became an onryo because of us."

"Then prove it." Eiko extends her free hand.

Mentally, her mind fixates on the term. Onryo. "Take my hand and give me back some of the life I was robbed of."

The coward takes it, surprising them both.

She grabs onto that and pulls.

Eiko feels what must be bruises recede, her ankle straightens, no longer aching from being twisted. In response, the coward winces and drops down to one knee.

Their grip remains tight. Strings of fate seem to intertwine.

[STAMINA: 7/10]
[STAMINA: 6/10]

A yelp is suppressed, the coward's other hand grabs onto her side as something invisible punctures her torso, and starts to bleed. The bullet fragments in Eiko's body slithers out of the wound, then drops onto the hard ground in red splatters.

Eiko has to grip harder now as the other starts to weaken.

[STAMINA: 5/10]

Something soft touches her arm.

"Eiko... Stop. She's going to die."

[STAMINA: 2/10]

Eiko barely hears Vi. Barely hears her recognition. It's just one more. She needs all she can get, right? All of it. One measly life that she can now make the most of.

She's finished her goal. Now, she needs to kill Julien with her own tooth and claw. After that, whatever is watching her from up above. Then, the god out there that needs to die. Screaming.

Vi tries again, voice heavy from half-consciousness as she pats at her pockets, "The potion.."

Stop Eiko? Use healing potion?

[EIKO STAMINA: 10/18]
[VI STAMINA: 2/9]

She said it herself, she wants to make things right. You asked for a small bit of life compared to what was stolen. Her life in its totality isn’t even close to a portion of Akito’s.

Take it all.

Vi wants you to stop, so you should. Don't you need the coward to take care of Vi while you're off killing Julien, anyway?

But definitely use that potion, there's no reason not to at this point.

But, she is the coward, not you. If she dies now that wraps it up so neat doesn't it? Just a whimper and she's gone. No. Let her keep that guilt for a lifetime. Let her carry your brother's memory.

>>1119539
Agreed.
In addition, if she learns, perhaps one day someone will rely on her again and this time she will have the resolve to help.
Potentially save someone else from your story playing out again.

Leave the coward with just enough to survive and no more. Taint not your revenge with unnecessary regret.
What's important now is your get Vi up and even with yourself. You'll need the both of you to take down Julian.
His time has come.

She's more use alive than dead, and you should give her a fighting chance.

Have her be the bait. Put something shiny in her hands and order her to wave it in the smoke to lure Julien out. Past that, her role's done, and she can run.

Eiko's throat rumbles in agreement. Her grip tightens. What's one more?

Eiko tenses to resist. The finger of the God Caller twitches, as if a string is tugged.

She grits her teeth. She knows the final decision is hers...

... Fine.

Eiko lets go, the coward collapses. Her body is ashen with the way death beckons her closer, yet denies its touch. The coward's breath comes out in low pained whistles.

"Aaaahh this hurts." the coward wheezes out.

Eiko looks down at her, but not really. She feels his ghost as it stretches in her shadow. Wonders again, for the millionth time, how he died. Wonders in the way one picks at an itching scab.

She doesn't get an answer, of course. Only the feeling of something cold pressed to her head.

"Thank you." Vi interrupts, gently, as if cradling glass. The kindness of it, even now, knowing what she was about to do, almost has her shatter.

Eiko trembles. "Don't mention it." She whispers back.

Vi pushes the healing potion into her now open hand. She looks at it, uncorks it, then swallows it down like a shot, wishing it was real alcohol.

It tastes like stale bubblegum, she realizes as she gags. Is bad medicine taste universal? That sucks.

Challenge: Successful. Life Sense granted.

The brightness of the forms around her start to dim into a subtle outline in Eiko's eyes. If she breathes in deeply enough, she can make out those particular scents once again, though not as strong.

She still makes out what must be Julien's scent in the smoke. Faint. Near. Burning to the end of its wick.

AWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO

A howl punches the air and beats Eiko's eardrums. She turns quickly to the sound of Julien's call. The howl is desperate, another plea against death.

Eiko stands paralyzed in awe as the angel descends, wings buffeting downward to soften their landing. A tidal gust clears the smoke and fire in an instant, leaving scarred ground in its memory. When the wave hits Eiko, it nearly topples her, coating her in one last layer of smoke.

Her heart pounds. The angel is beyond description. Beyond anything she has seen before.

In her peripherals, figures start to emerge from all around, the base and the streets.

The angel stands tall, features alien, otherworldly. A golden halo hovers over their head, wings a polished white. A white linen robe of some kind lays over their shoulder and wraps at the waist.

The angel pauses to fix their tie, their gaze shifting from Eiko to Julien, wings curled around his crawling form.

Eiko clenches her fist.

"'Bout damn time!" Julien laugh yells. "G0D help me angel, I need a blessing."

"Disciple...." the angel speaks monotonously, yet clear as any bell for all within radius. Their wings rise intimidatingly, "Archangel Haziel has informed me that you have been disobedient... To deny an Archangel's word, nevertheless the Archangel of Justice, is to deny the very word of Zir. Do you understand this?"

Julien's maw shuts. He stutters. His body moves to half-stand then stops, winces, and bows his head like a nod.

"That's--"

"And you have not only been disobedient, you have lost your holy symbol. Are you aware of this disrespect?"

Eiko feels the necklace hang heavier in her pocket, now feeling disgust.

Julien opens his maw to respond, then thinks better of it. He hangs his head submissively, voice drawn out low like any sleazy businessman trying to close a deal, "My apologies, Angel of Redemption. Please enlighten me."

It's the first time Eiko has seen such an action in person. It feels contradictory, even in the roll-out-perspective shoved into her mind a few moments ago. To talk all big... then wag his tail for anyone with power....

"Yikes." Vi says beside her.

Agreed.

The approaching Bites watch with rapt yet cautious attention. A mixture of shock, awe, and confusion sprinkle their faces. They have never seen their almighty Boss brought so low before; wounded or not, something in their perspective changes. Though maybe it's justified, when seeing the angel up close.

"Archangel Haziel is apprehending the demon, so you have not failed in that role." The Angel of Redemption simply waves their hand in Eiko's direction. "You must secure your position, as it is instrumental in It's plan. Do this or we will replace you with another worthy of Zir's grace."

They pause and coolly move their arms behind their back, the posture of a professor, "An ear deaf to Zir's word is unworthy. Redeem yourself through this hardship and you will earn It's blessing once again. By enduring this pain, you will be cleansed by it."

Julien frowns. "So, deal with this on my own, huh? Just me?"

The angel shakes their head. "Use your resources as you see fit. I will heal you afterwards."

He nods and stands. Successful this time.

When Julien looks at Eiko, really looks, his eyes widen in shock. "You can't be serious, crawled right out of your damn grave.. Two for fuckin' two today." He spits. "What a bastard you are."

He tilts his head side to hide, one arm tucked into his jacket, as if to pull a gun, but Eiko can smell the profuse amount of blood he's trying to hide. Can see the dim light around his edges.

Despite this, Eiko feels herself start to panic. Can she handle a fight with this many people? With her new powers?

Julien cocks his head and looks around at the newly emerged gang, teeth shown in his grin, "All of you, tear up that thing."

Gazes shift uneasily. Vi moves to stand, the coward half-supporting her as she also moves to her feet. Vi shakes her head at them.

Eiko looks back at her in surprise.

No one moves.

Julien's grin falters after silence passes. All movements now paralyzed.

He looks around once again, sharper, eyes narrowed, "You-- What? Scared of a ghost? Go get that damn Onryo! Shoot it for fucks sake! You think it can't take a beating? It did before!"

There's a palpable hesitation as they shift around on their feet, eyes not quite meeting each other. It's not unheard of to be superstitious. It's another to see the former Boss prouncing around still smelling of death.

Julien's fur shifts as he barks, "YOU DAMN MUTTS! KILL THAT THING NOW OR I'LL BE SKINNING YOUR FURS AND POSTING THEM UP ON MY WALL! YOU THINK I PAY ALL OF YOU TO SIT ON YOUR ASSES?! RIGHT! NOW!"

There's only one thing a tough guy like you (are pretending to be) need say in a situation like this; "Do it yourself"

Then walk right up to him, grab his whiny little muzzle, and drain the dregs of his life. To everyone else it'll look like he just died of fright. The perfect way for him to be remembered.

Kick Julien in the balls

Agreed.
Persuade crowd.

Look at him.
Tell them to really look.
A leader does not show their belly to those who would use the pack, only then to start showing teeth to those they presume to lead.
Tell them to listen to his words.
"Attack" he tells you. "Clog the jaws of my enemy with your bodies." Comes the command from one who remains still.
A true leader does not run at the back of their pack, snapping at your heels. They run at the head.
Ask them to think about him.
A leader is more than authority.
More than an implementation of might.
They are an exemplar of not only what a pack is but what it strives to be.
A leader should give you pride.
Pride in you packmates, your role in the pack and in who you follow.
Do you feel pride here? No.
He only offers fear and shame.
Tell them...
You are who you choose to follow.
Choose better, if only for yourself.

Take out the holy symbol he dropped. Remind him of what the angel said: he must redeem himself through hardship. Having his pack kill you won't be hard at all. Thus, *he* must fight you.

Then kick him in the balls.

Everyone who voted already, I recommend you reconsider and vote for Foolish Gambit. It’s clearly stated to be more effective when impressive to onlookers.

So we can still do some ball kicking, but my point is that right now is quite simply the perfect time to use FG.

I propose:

FOOLISH GAMBIT GOAL: Leave Julien speechless in front of the crowd.
Environmental Factors: The crowd will be enthralled if successful.

I think that would mesh with what I suggested, maybe with more talking to the crowd.

I don't think proudly and uncharacteristically-of-Akito screaming "I'm gonna leave you speechless" will be of any benefit to her persuasion check.

the next update is planned to have a huge deciding impact on the story, so all votes are going to matter here. i'm imposing a deadline to give everyone a chance to add in.

all suggestions will still be accepted until tuesday, 1/13, 11:59PM PST.
