You're not helping!

[Watch out, she's throwing down another writhing vine at you.] Hyaaah, why is everything so complicated here?! Undead vines, moving vehicles, and the nearest place to get actual good food is a whole half an hour away by foot!

[But now's not the time to fall to her knees melodramatically and wail. Even if she wants to. Instead, she looks out the window again--] Hey, do you know any good exorcists in the area?

[YEAH JUST FUCKING EXORCISE THE VINES FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD, THAT'LL TOTALLY WORK]

[crowover]

[Mikazuki jumps out of harm’s way, laughing. The anger is almost endearing, and he feels for her. He had his own share of hardships when he first came to town a few years, and he didn’t have the spirits to deal with.]

I don't think exorcists are going to help when even the Avatar couldn't get rid of these things!

[bearestofthemall]

Huuuh? Not even the Avatar?! Well, I've heard there's several Avatars popping up... Wait, that's not the point!

[She's running back and forth a bit frantically, packing her belongings to prepare for the inevitable while also ferociously fighting against the vines encroaching her home. And by fighting, I mean kicking it every now and then out of anger.

...Which ends up in one of the tendrils coiling around her foot. She gives it a tug. It doesn't let go.

Oops?]

Uh oh. [Welp. Her door's basically been broken down by the vines, so anyone who wants to enter her apartment would bear witness to a girl now stuck to a spiritual vine. She can't reach her sword, and Earth isn't too good at, you know, slicing plants. She could sift out for a sharp rock, but--

--oh, nevermind. The vine continues to grow upwards, and actually hoists Kai up in the air by the foot. UM.]

...HEEELP!

[crowover]

[She disappeared from the window so fast, Mikazuki has to raise an eyebrow.]

Hey laaaaady. Everything okay up there?

[No answer, just the occasional thud. Maybe she wants to be left alone and--

“HEEELP!”

--okay, no, she’s in trouble. Mikazuki isn’t the kind of person who would leave a girl in need, and he definitely wouldn’t give up a chance to fight something.

He runs up the stares and barges in--not that there’s exactly something to barge through, but rescues has to be done properly. He might be even striking a dramatic pose, copied straight out of Nuktuk mover.]

It’s okay, I got you!

[Fire may not be enough to get rid of the vines completely, but it’s certainly enough to release trapped ankles. He firebends the offending tendrils away, ready to help Kai in case the fall wouldn’t be very graceful.

The vines recoil for the moment but when they recover, they’re going to be pissed.]

[bearestofthemall]

[Did he really just strike a dramatic pose? Wow, Kai might've actually thought he was cool for a moment if he'd just rushed straight to rescuing her. Stop shooting yourself in the foot, Mikazuki...]

W-w-whoa! [Somehow, she manages to flip her whole body to its correct orientation before her feet land on the ground. So no 'gracefully falls into Mikazuki's arms' now. Maybe she would've done it if Mikazuki was a prettyboy.] What a pain... thanks for that.

[She doesn't have much more time for gratitude, though, because the spirit vines are definitely out to get them now. If their new growth of tendrils towards them is any indication, it means they somehow know where they are. Kai grabs her whipsword, then her half-packed luggage. Yeah, no thanks.]

Crap! It's blocking the door! Do you think you can get rid of the vines without setting the building on fire?

sorry for the delay!

[crowover]

[Mikazuki glances back to the window. For a second he wonders if they risk jumping down two stories, before the vines spread across the walls and block the window. Well, so much for that. If they’re going to fight their way out anyway, they might as well choose a path that is less likely to get their legs broken.

He turns to the door again, the shadow of a grin on his face. He’s starting to get excited.]

I can try!

[Mikazuki sends out fire blades in sharp, precise movement. He succeeds in cutting them, but they grow back almost immediately. A large burst or a stream of fire who have probably worked better, but uh. He’s trying to NOT burn down the building.]

Crap. Right, we’re just gonna have to be faster than them. We run through and I burn them away right before they get us. You help with that nice weapon of yours and if they get rude, we just keep cutting. How’s that for a plan?
