A little too far into the hornet's nest [Active/Open]

[homerunbat.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Keiichi, Rika, random Sinstuff, aaaaand open!
Content: Keiichi and Rika investigate a loud noise. Loud noise turns out to be monsters. Their asses will likely require saving. (Not the monsters', I mean.)
Setting: somewhere in H7 probably?
Time: mid-day-ish
Warnings: shit guys, MONSTERS!

It wasn't too long after Keiichi left the hotel with Rika that he began thinking this may have been a bad idea after all. The noise seemed to be getting louder with every step they took, and the dust in the air combined with the narrow streets made it all but impossible to tell what was going on. Whatever it was, though, it looked really bad... was it over, even, or still going on? He couldn't say.

Now, if Rika had stayed back at the hotel, it'd be one thing, but he wasn't about to maybe risk both their lives over curiosity. "Well. I've seen enough," he declared, offering his hand for her to take. "Let's get out of here."

It was true Haseo was hardly thinking, he always had been the hack and slash type. Normally when dealing with run-of-the-mill monsters there wouldn't be any consequences either. Perhaps just bit of a HP loss which was always easily solved. Haseo hadn't considered things would be very different here.

He twirled the scythe around as if it's weight was nothing to him, using the blade as a shield. Although the scythe was quite large it wasn't enough to cover his entire body and while some of the needles bounced off the blade a few went right past it, piercing into his legs and the exposed flesh of his hands as he gripped his scythe. This wouldn't have been a problem in The World but this wasn't a game.

Haseo had to grit his teeth against the sudden pain. That was right, his consciousness was trapped in his PC body now. But he had never expected it to hurt like this. This body was supposed to be nothing but data!

"Vak don!" He yelled out in a frustrated voice, casting the spell that would send a rain of fireballs onto his foes. The spell had always looked impressive but truthfully it was one of the lowest Fire spells there was. Magic wasn't his forte.
