[Whoa!

Weird.

Soo-won is admittedly going to like. Check the backward direction first, placing a hand against the wall-like structure like half a second before he impacts it before - laughing?]


Oh dear. It seems as though we have no choice but to keep pressing on. Let's take caution, everyone.

[to which he'll actually turn and if no one stops him, he's leading the way]

[ ... well! one minute you're going to grab more space snacks, and then the next, you're walking along the galaxy! that's cool. xie lian blinks down at his feet, and then his three new companions.

...and then, much like a protagonist, agrees with soo-won immediately, looking over the other two members of their little group to make sure they're okay! ]
Is everyone alright?

[ muttering a quiet "how curious"... to himself, xie lian's gonna take up place right with soo-won, letting ruoye unravel a bit from his wrist. ]

[ well so much for exploring some more! of course there's obviously the moment of shock when the whole scene changes, but it only lasts for about half a second before ochako beams with delight. ]

This is so cool! It's got to be an illusion of some kind, right? How do you think it works?

[ ...she's fine. ]

[And then, of course, Chiron takes up the rear of his own volition, having double-checked the integrity of that invisible wall by pushing on it with increased force, not that it did him much good.

His expression has barely flinched during the entire shift from Space Garden to Just Space, but his eyebrows are drawn up in mild exasperation all the same.

It's fine. He is armed like always, so his voice is mild]


We seem to all be fine, yes. Though if this is an illusion or not remains to be seen.
recrowns: (➸ is when it's tested again)

[personal profile] recrowns 2020-10-05 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well then.

Soo-won will notice the lack of footsteps and look behind him - ]


Ah.

[And he'll move to knock on the wall behind them, gently at first and then with more force to see if it'll budge - ]

Ochako! Archer! We're alright!

[Might as well make an attempt at communication first before they move forward.]

More magic at play, is it...

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-10-05 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's no clipclopping of little horsey hooves, and no excited bubbling from ochako, either, which means... they're alone. ]

It must be. Stay close, Won, alright? We must stick together, lest we get separated again.
recrowns: (➸ i hope that you're smiling)

[personal profile] recrowns 2020-10-05 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, let's proceed.

[Jan's cheating because she gave ye oldes technology and honestly I respect that so much.

that said.

soo-won is going to look rather surprised at that, given that they only have one path? wow, not even the illusion of choice. once they enter the room he's going to knock against the walls as if it'll do anything, before turning to the chairs. how many chairs are there!!]


I take it that we're meant to have a seat.
dianxias: (85)

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-10-06 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ no windows, no doors... xie lian thuds an elbow into one of the walls just to check the solidity of it, but seeing as how it's a paneled space wall i'm sure it's fine.

with his fingers wrapping gently around ruoye, he walks forward with soo-won, glancing at their surroundings. wow, it's all technological as shit!

do the machines look like their parts...go...anywhere....??? like around the head or anything of that like? any counters or anything, or is it just the chairs. any sign of like, human life (alien life? furry life?) in this room ever at any time. ]


...perhaps so. [ xie lian will be the first to walk forward, then! onwards, to get a closer look at said chairs. ]

[ - ah.

she stops short, casting a wary glance over her shoulder... and sighs in relief. of course something was going to happen, but at least she's not totally alone. ]


Xie Lian-san! Soo-won-san! [ i hope her voice just echoes through space. ] ...I hope they're alright. And that that doesn't happen again.

[ the way forward is just... space. there's nowhere else to go, so it's not like they have a choice, but it is worrying. they'll just have to be ready for... something. ]

Guess we should keep going, huh?
antaressnipe: (40)

[personal profile] antaressnipe 2020-10-05 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chiron's reaction is a bit more... aggressive.

Seeing as he immediately nocks an arrow and looks for something to shoot at.

... But then nothing else happens, so he continues stepping forward alongside his newest (only) companion with a nod of agreement]


Yes, let us be careful as we proceed. Please stay close to me.
infreefall: (β˜… determined)

[personal profile] infreefall 2020-10-06 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ alright, close to space horse dad it is. she'll stick to his side, ready to defend herself if need be, but... ]

Are those... weapons? [ knives, swords, even guns... there's so many, and it leaves ochako feeling uneasy. ] These wouldn't be here without a reason. Wherever we are, there must be some kind of fight coming up.

[ in which case... there are a couple of knives with her name on them. guns would be too dangerous for someone with no experience, and the rest... well, ochako's used to fighting with her hands and her quirk, not. actual weapons. so she'll leave the rest unless chiron suggests otherwise. ]

But if these are here, there has to be someone else around, too. Do you see anything? [ where are the people who put these weapons here? ] We should be careful if we see someone, though. They might not be friendly.
antaressnipe: (34)

[personal profile] antaressnipe 2020-10-06 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[... Hm.

Well, the sudden change of scenery is further proof for him to keep his guard up, and he's giving the rocky planet a thorough look-over for anything suspicious... which, frankly, includes the pile of weapons just sitting there out in the open.

But he has no issue with Ochako arming herself; it's why he'll stand back at attention, bow still ready to let an arrow fly at the slightly movement that isn't her.

He notes all of the weapons that are familiar to him, and doesn't touch them.]


No, I see nothing for now... but take heed of the weapons. It could be a trap.

[Sorry but Horse Dad trusts nothing]

[ WAS HIS HEART NOT STRONG!!!!

xie lian is no stranger to dying and living again. he's had worse injuries than the ones on his body and came out of it, even if it took weeks for his body to stitch itself back together again. so, when the air floods his lungs and he blinks to life, he's not freaking out... at least immediately.

but then, it's the desire to kill that floods through him that feels so utterly wrong. something is wrong. there are two people in front of him - ochako and chiron - and his immediate feeling isn't relief. it's destruction. he has just enough time to realize what's wrong in a moment of horror, before clarity slips away.

"defeat the monsters". kill the monsters, indeed.

he shifts, taking on a martial stance. as a god, xie lian was often remembered for his kindness - he was remembered by his followers in his statues, flower in one hand, sword in the other - but truly, he ascended because of his sword. as a martial god, he is a seasoned and terrifying force of nature on a battlefield, a fight lover to his core. and with no attachment to his own conscious, all that really remains is his sword -- metaphorically, at least.

chiron is the obvious target. both of them are injured, but from a scan he looks to be the more skilled, which means xie lian's going for him first, nearly throwing himself out of the chair and lunging for chiron's flank. it's an aggressive first strike, and he winds from side to side as he's attacking, as if trying to push chiron into a corner of this small room. even without spiritual energy, his strikes are quick and brutally powerful, and he goes for a series of fast paced punches to his ribs and, probably worse, absolutely going for his legs!

at least in the state of mostly feral, he's forgotten about ruoye - and you can bet your ass he's internally trying to fight against it. alas! it's not working yet. i'm deeply sorry. ]
recrowns: (➸ so things wouldn't change)

[personal profile] recrowns 2020-10-07 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, he was right about it not being over.

when he wakes, he sees chiron and ochako. his instinctual urge is to offer a reassuring, if sheepish smile, as if to say 'sorry for the trouble' - but it doesn't last long. he falters suddenly, lips twitching as the transformations take hold and suddenly he cannot think of anything but bloodlust.

he's never felt this before.

soo-won has done a number of terrible things in his life - this he's aware of. but not once was it motivated by pure malice, by the desire to harm other people. it alarms him but his body moves before his mind, and he launches himself forward in tandem with xie lian. he knows that in hand to hand combat he's less effective - and so his instinct is to wrench weaponry into his own hands. just as xie lian is aiming to strike at chiron, soo-won will attempt to do the same

even as his fingers reach for whatever arrows remain]
infreefall: (β˜… indecisive)

[personal profile] infreefall 2020-10-07 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the thing is, ochako's standing, like, right there, so one of you probably just bowled her over while she's still processing the situation. she'll catch herself on the chairs, though, turning just in time to see them launch into their attacks. ]

N-No! Stop! We have to leave together!

[ she and chiron both at a significant disadvantage with their previous injuries, but... her quirk is still there. if worse comes to worst, ochako still has a knife... but she doesn't want to have to use it. she's already responsible for - for their first deaths, and for this transformation. she won't just blindly follow some orders from who knows where and let them die again.

she presses her fingers together, activating her quirk. ]


Archer-san! We can stop them without hurting them, right?

[ please say yes... but she doesn't wait for an answer, darting forward to try to touch both xie lian and soo-won to make them float. that will make this whole thing so much easier. ]
antaressnipe: (56)

[personal profile] antaressnipe 2020-10-07 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[-- No.

Chiron doesn't think they can save them.

His Clairvoyance is still in his possession, and with greater eyesight comes greater clarity, the understanding that sometimes fate is ugly and vengeful and gives no quarter. Both warriors charge at him and Chiron is only barely prepared to meet them, both his fists raised with practiced ease, his stance steady and sure.

In all his many long years of life, no student of his, godly or otherwise, was ever able to best their teacher on the battlefield. And so there's no fear in his eyes, not even when xie lian aims for his flank and Soo-Won attempts to take his arrows. If they want their victory, they'll have to take it by force; he will always work to face them so that they can't overpower him from the sides, and despite his size he's nimble, not afraid to leap and twist over them like a gazelle more than a centaur. He knows where his weaknesses are; his legs, head, and injured side are guarded above all else, and if he must tank a strike to the torso or his arms through gritted teeth, so be it.

But if there's a grim reality here, it's that he knows that he will lose the longer this keeps up. Maybe if he were completely healed and armed with all of his arrows, if the room was larger, if he was not constantly keeping track of Ochako's position to ensure the two fighters keep their eyes only on him--

Maybe a half a minute. He'll keep to the defense for now, not bothering to strike back unless it's to block a hit. His voice cuts out over the sound of battle]


Quickly, Ochako!

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-10-07 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ this horse moves fast. when xie lian is not possessed by some terrifying monstery nonsense he will be very impressed and also want to spar!

unfortunately, he is possessed by said terrifying monstery nonsense, so. chiron seems well aware of the weakness of his legs and even xie lian can't get a hit in on them. all it would take is a misstep; his steps are just as graceful, just as quick, matching chiron movement for movement. with no weapon besides ruoye (which he's mostly unaware of), the feral drive to kill chiron is guiding his strikes into the territory of vicious. while soo-won tries to grab at his arrow, xie lian seems to be working well in tandem with him-- he aims a roundhouse kick at the side of his head, this time, and uses his momentum to come off of the ground, his other foot following up immediately after for a well placed strike to his human ribcage, instead, aiming to shatter bone. it puts him close enough to be struck, but trying to fight off this form of -- whatever it is controlling him means that xie lian is sloppier than he normally would be.

right now, it's about causing damage. its about a misstep, backing chiron up as far as he can go so he and soo-won can take him out. he's not even thinking about ochako; as far as xie lian's currently not working brain knows, ochako won't be able to keep up with him, while chiron is a worthy opponent.

which means he is absolutely 100% going to get ochako gravity'd any second now. yeet ]
