 Koyuki Rieko Theme: Visions
Status: Berserk?┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ "....." Koyuki didn't say anything to Matthias, her crying having ceased so abruptly that one might have been unnerved by such a thing. If his goal was to agitate Koyuki, one hardly needed to say anything to her, especially someone such as Matthias. He did not see her face, but his experience in battle could sense immeasurable levels of killing intent out of Koyuki in this very moment. Her head twitched, jerking if only slightly towards his direction. Her fingers flexed, almost in a claw like manner, and her body slowly shifted. She didn't get up from her position, which perhaps only made this even more unnerving than if she had said something to him. She stared at him, her eyes so cold and wide eyed that the definition of a cornered feral animal was exactly what she presented herself as. But what came next might have shocked him.
"Triple... Fira." Of course, naturally one might have assumed that Koyuki would have sent those spells directly at Matthias, but instead, Matthias witnessed the headmaster blow herself up with her own spells. BOOM! The first explosion went off, sending embers flying everywhere as it crashed down onto Koyuki's back. BOOM! Another went off on her, her clothes burning and singing from the explosion, the bow in her hair catching fire. BOOM! The final explosion went off, her skin now burning with the flames; yet, she didn't even react to the explosions going off on her. Her body was burning, flames and embers smoldering across her skin, and yet, her expression didn't change. If there was any amount of pain in her, she showed none of it to him. Her eyes were dead focused on Matthias, and her body language indicated that she would attack him if he approached her. By any sense of the word, Koyuki had gone absolutely bat s**t crazy. Every ounce of her screamed as if she was looking for a reason to fight him. There was no one more dangerous than Koyuki in this very moment, and it was made obvious just how little she cared about her own well being in this moment, prepared to throw everything away, just to kill Matthias. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

 Mai Zeigmus ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ She gladly leaned into her man's kiss, keeping her arm wrapped over his shoulder while he seemed to point his ire towards the pink haired man. Mai, naturally, being on her man's side regardless of whether he was right or wrong, spoke with a wide smug grin on her face. "Oh yeah? Maybe we should kick the s**t out of em for good measure?" The sheer confidence in her tone was only matched by that wide toothy grin on her face, looking over at Eren's direction partially before she shifted her attention back to Raeka, who at this point was suggesting they go ******** with Kalen. A devious laugh escaped Mai's lips and nodded to her boyfriend. Well, if there was one thing for certain, Mai loved fighting regardless of the reason. She looked utterly beaming with excitement at such a prospect, and it usually took Raeka to stifle the violent passions of his lover, who loved any excuse to get into a fight. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

xxxxxxxxxxxxShowered by the empty hopes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAs I tumble down, falling fast to the ground
I know I'll wither, so peel away the bark

The vibrant sights, sounds and smells of the festival were all simultaneously magnified and blurred for the slightly tipsy Ny as she accompanied Rem and Yuki through the streets. She was impressed by Rem's intricate knowledge of the various rigged games, which no doubt saved the group a good deal of coin. When Rem pulled them to a stall and Ny was handed half a sugary slushy drink from a rather forward young man she arched an eyebrow in questioning...until the beverage was very quickly improved by Rem's sneaky hidden bottle of liqueur.
"Ooh I like the way you think, girl" Ny sang, taking a swig and immediately regretting it as the strong liquid burned her throat, making her cough. She was careful to take little sips thereafter, as they continued through the festival.
She cheered along as Yuki won her own prize. And when Rem finally brought them to the biggest stand yet with dozens of enormous teddy bears, she flexed her fingers and stepped up to the chalk line unsteadily, reaching down to swipe one of the cheap wooden bows.
"My turn!" Raising the bow, she smoothly laced it with one of the 5 cheap plastic arrows the stall-keeper handed over. And although inebriated, the girl was able to still herself in just a moment, settle her body into the correct stance, and focus on the targets with a practised ease which suggested years of training. Her fingers released the first arrow.
THWACK
The sound of 4 more targets being hit rapidly in succession followed. Ny gave an excited cheer, downed the rest of her drink and then jumped up and down with obvious glee.
"That one please, sir!" She pointed at a giant white teddy with a cute bow tie and buttons for eyes. The stall-keeper reluctantly handed it over, with some difficulty given the size of the thing, and waved them off with a disgruntled noise. Ny somehow managed to tuck the ridiculous bear under her arm and led the two other girls away, her expression smug.
"I'd call this a pretty successful day" Nyale chimed, enjoying the warmth in her body from the alcohol, the fuzzy feeling in her head and the bright, happy atmosphere of the festival. But something wasn't right. Something in the atmosphere was changing. She was vaguely aware of shouting and crashing noises nearby, and stopped to look around. People in the crowd looked worried as they walked past, apparently leaving the area. "Guys, I think something may be kicking off..." Ny muttered to Yuki and Rem, peering over the crowd. Even in a place as seemingly peaceful and orderly as UNITA, at an event like this there was bound to be some ruckus as the night went on. Ny couldn't see any security around to calm things down though.

Cosmic Magic ShooterThe man had landed with the most SATISFYING thump that he had heard in a minute, Eren's smile turning even greater at the results he had obtained. Wiping his hands, he placed them on his hips before whistling, turning towards the bar. "One more please!" he called, slightly slurring but still more than capable of walking in a straight line, grasping one more drink and sipping on its fruity mixture. Eren loved his sangrias and fruity drinks. If the man wanted to get drunk, he wanted his damn drinks to taste like the sweetest candy you could find! "Well Bartholomew, lez 'it the roa-" Cherish the times you have with your loved ones. Right as he turned to grab the dressed up goldfish, his eyes alit in horror as the goldfish burst into flames, being eviscerated in mere seconds before his very eyes. Just like that, his prized plush was gone. Dust in the wind. His hands gripped tightly, his smile quickly and fiercely degrading into the snarl, his arms and body tensing and veins started popping in pure outrage. Despite having nice clothes, Eren DID NOT have a great deal of nice things, saving money in his bank account and only occasionally spending on some tech or clothing that he had taken a liking too. His current residence in the Esthar space station was still just that, and he had no real family possessions in his name beyond his Guardian Force and his Dynasty Gauntlets that were currently in the lodgings that UNITA had provided him like they always had when he was shipped off to work for them. It was why he had wanted the little goldfish to begin with, then having to settle for the big plush. Something fresh for his room. That was gone now. Grasping his drink, he turned towards the crowd and caught two people mean mugging him and turning away, one alight with an aura that screamed THIS GUY RIGHT HERE BOSS. If only Golem would agree with him, the Guardian Force instead flashing warnings and pleadings, reds and yellows flashing to beg him to just suck it up and move on. Eren had a ******** feeling these two were the reason why he had gotten shot with something earlier too. It was too god damn convenient. Normally, Eren would not care and could take a punch and laugh it off. But he really loved that goldfish plush. REALLY, REALLY loved it. The Esthar SeeD clutched the glass and chucked it as hard as he could at the back of the aura ridden stranger's back, utilizing the freakish strength that he had been known for. Did he know that Raeka had caused more than enough mischief, hitting people with pellets? No. Would it be karmaic justice if it smacked him in the back of the head by a man that he probably didn't realize had trained under his own mother? Divine Justice worked in mysterious ways, and Eren ******** hated people who were assholes just because they could be. <******** face!" For Bartholomew.

 Matthias Keller
Status: Opening The Gate To Purgatory
Location: After-Hours Construction Site
____________________________________________________
Matthias let a wicked grin cover his face, as he flicked the butt of his cigarette towards the Koyuki who was revving herself up. It was within a blink that another BOOM hit and incinerated the inhalant. She was reacting entirely within pre-ordained parameters, and while Matthias seemed to tense up slightly, ready to jump into action, the plan had always been for him to be on the defensive. "You have to be careful with who you threaten, Koyuki. Trabia is running low on phoenix downs."
His pose relaxed. He had hit his element and most importantly knew he was about to kick it off. Keller was prepared for virtually anything, "I know, I know. Losing your loved one is always one hell of a blow. But what would Riyel think of this?" He chuckled. "Oh, right, right. You don't remember." And as if on cue, what assortment of memories Koyuki had of one Riyel Vicaria faded away into obscurity. Even his name seemed distant.
Keller held up his hands, a fragile sign of peace. "I can help you with that. It wouldn't be cheap though. I can help you remember."

Raeka Everett-Maris Status: The Eye of the Storm
Location: The Game Stalls
____________________________________________________
She seemed to think Raeka had meant to go pick on Kalen. While that boy was easy pickin's, he had meant the prissy princess Rem Nipal. He wasn't even sure if the wild child was around, but hell there wasn't much harm in the effort. Raeka was in a bad enough mood that Mai's whim could turn his anger upon a friend, or at least it would have been if not for a glass that shattered against his shoulder. The white haired kid just paused for a moment. He could hardly believe the audacity.
He turned slightly towards Eren, just enough to put eyes on the stupid son of a b***h who had fully caught his ire. "Oh, now I really hate'm." His eyes flickered briefly to the beads of blood forming on his bare shoulder. The pink haired punk had one measure of mercy, Raeka wasn't in his suit. Which means he wasn't packing most of his armaments. "Darlin', I think you were right. We shoulda kicked the s**t out of him for good measure."
It was for the best. Gunning down a drunk ruffian in the middle of Unita festival was probably a bad idea. But breaking this guy's legs was... less of a bad idea. He began to step towards Eren. "Alright, Cupcake, you asked for a reckoning." As far as Raeka cared for hand to hand would be enough for this chump, but even then that was just a feint for the long haul. Plus, he knew Mai would make up for any lack of impact he had. Physically, at least. Rae had his own tricks.

 Rem Estellise La Faustina Nipal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Headmaster disappeared.
”Kalen.” The President moved the instant she heard those words, beckoning her son to her side. She raced across the staging grounds ‘til she and Kalen reached a nearby truck transporting huge rolls of streamers and banners. She climbed in while giving a shout to the nearby workers unloading the materials, and a man tossed her the keys. The truck peeled out of the concrete loading dock with a screech.
”That was a decade ago. Don’t pin her bullshit on me, Babel,” she snapped into the phone. ”Keep this phone on you.”
Boop!
Call ended. Nona thrust the phone into Kalen’s hands.
”Rieko’s run off somewhere ,” she growled as the truck sped through the streets of Eden City, headed for the centermost hill. ”Call Enfield, tell her I need a full sweep of the city for Koyuki Rieko and put the Emergency Response Orgs on alert. All of them.” Medical, fire, security- anyone who might be needed to deal with a capital-p Problem.
Damnit, Koyuki. I am done cleaning up after you!
—
Speaking of messes.
Kicking off.
Rem moved the instant she heard those two words. She walked as fast as she could without drunken stumbling, but the sight of flames rising up above the heads of those down the avenue set her running!
”I gotta deal with this, girls!” she called to Yukiko and Nyale as she lurched into her run. She mustered all the focus she could into a warmth inside her- a flame whose embers she could grasp and draw out if she had the strength. She tossed her booze into a nearby trash can while blue-and-violet stars of raw magic swirled through the air around her, crystallizing into a convex glimmer of air around her which then faded to invisibility.
”Protect!”
Dumb luck that she didn’t crash face-first into any of the fleeing citizens, visitors, or lamp posts. The crowd grew thicker the closer she got to the incident, however, and she had to divert to a side of the street.
Nyale and Yukiko- if they elected to follow- enjoyed yet more proof that Rem knew everything about the Unitan festival. She lurched up off the sidewalk and onto one of the many flower beds raised up on the side of the roads, hurled herself up on top of a popcorn stand at its end, and from there leaped to the roof of a dart-throwing game! At its far end, she seized one of the countless streamers strung up across the street and swung herself onto the balcony of a funhouse covered in foam decorations of monsters!
Rem’s boots clomped on the metal flooring. She bounced off of a bunch of punching bags painted like blobras and bombs, emerging onto a balcony where she could see what was going on below. And fell flat on her face as she stepped onto a moving conveyor meant to trip up giggling kids.
Ow.
Fine! She was fine! As soon as she rolled off the conveyor and clambered back to her feet with the help of a hand rail, hauling herself up to look down at the commotion below. She knew a fight when she saw one. Thank goodness the flames were just from a…a smoldering plush? No time for that! At least one of them was armed.
FWEEEEEEEEEEEE
A piercing whistle drew most of the crowd’s attention upward!
Rem Nipal stood in a spotlight atop the head of a life-sized foam behemoth, arms crossed, glowering down at the ruffians below! Her face was cherry red from a combination of inebriation and impact.
”That’sh. Enough!” she shouted. Barely even sounded drunk! ”This festival is about peace! Hic!
They were probably too far away to notice.
She, however, was not too far away to notice a particular shade of pink hair.
”You?!” she blurted, frowning down at Eren.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Won't shed a tear, for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality His eyes remained focused, gazing out onto the city as he listened to Nona's conversation behind his still frame, still standing at the top of the stairs of the concert stage. It was right as his eyes observed three flashes of light, almost in perfect rythm, in the distance that he turned about face as his mother called his name. A good night had started to creep towards the beginnings of a bad one, his body feeling the hairs raise up on the back of his neck at the tone in which she called him over.
The verbal command would only be followed by faint words he could barely hear from the speaker of her phone, his hand grasping his sword handle almost to calm his nerves. What the hell was going on? No words were exchanged between the two. Said son let the pink haired woman order everyone off of a truck and getting the keys, wordlessly hopping into the passenger's seat of the truck as it shot off into the distance, his grip shifting from his blade for comfort to the safety handle that rested above him. The shaking of the truck did nothing to help dissuade the onsetting worry that fell across him.
A decade ago...
Blue eyes closed to let loose a slow sigh. Just from her words and vitriol laced within them, Kalen knew who the issue would be about. Someone he had not considered to come forward face to face with upon his fresh and triumphant return to UNITA. Someone he hadn't seen face to face in damn near ten years. The sword on his waist felt even heavier, the blade being a gift from the subject in question on his fifteenth birthday.
Mother...
Kalen quietly took the phone from his ma, dialing on the number pad and looking towards Nona, only interrupting the fresh silence between the two to say "Ma...by the new buildings being constructed on the outside of the city... I saw some flashes there."
Voices started to speak from the phone, to which he began making the necessary calls that his mom had ordered him to contact. His gut was heavy, eyes narrowing whilst he turned to look through the window in the dark of night.
This was not good. Guardian Force: none Status: Silent

Cosmic Magic Shooter"Tough talk from da' walkin' puckered a*****e!" Eren glowered down at the younger man walking up to him, keeping his companion in his sights as well as she followed. Sword and gun, huh? Slightly inebriated as he may be, something gave him the inkling that this little p***k in front of him was the person who shot him in the back of the head, and cost him his last arm wrestling bout. Eren didn't give a s**t if someone could kick the s**t out of him, what he gave about was the principal of the matter and this d**k lipped twink and his girl somehow thought they looked better trying to outnumber him. The drunken stupor was driving his emotions, but the Esthar SeeD dared not move on his own honor as the antagonists of the evening came strolling up to him. His nose was curled into a snarl, and the kickboxer in him was well beyond ready to take a swing at the nuisance who had decided to burn his possessions and shoot daggers with their eyes his way. For a moment, he was distracted however, his eyes looking upward towards the approach of a newcomer. A newcomer that immediately brought him back to UNITA perhaps a year or two ago. A more than welcome sight that some professionals (like himself) might even say a beautiful sight to behold as he identified the signature red hair once it had come into view. Unexpected but certainly not putting a damper on his day, even as she frowned at him. Such a nice frown."Rem." He tipped his beanie before throwing it off and turning to glare at the opposition. "You, and I KNOW FER A FACT, hit me with that bb and BURNT MY BELONGINGS!." Thank GOD, that the real Bartholomew lived to survive another day as Eren could only shiver at the thought of the little fish bursting into flames because some a*****e had decided to play god. That wasn't even including the money that he had left on the plush's chair. "I ain' afraid of ya or your companion! Real damn tough comin' with a backup with weapons at a PEACE FESTIVAL ya idjit!"Real good language in front of the lady, Eren. It was the one thought that was going through his head that Golem agreed with, a green hue pulsing through his mind in concurrence.

Everyone Theme: Visions
Status: Hell Is Breaking Loose ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Babel, upon hearing Nona's reasponse merely chuckled as she handed the soldier back the phone, muttering a single word as she did. "Touchy." But this was no laughing matter, her gaze shifting towards the explosions going off at the construction site. Her gaze turned to a more serious one. A sigh escaped her lips as she raised her wrist up speaking into a watch. "All squad members, make your way to the construction site located at the northeastern side of the city at the edge of the peer. Permission to use GF's granted." She said with as serious of an expression she could be. "Gods help us." She said outloud to no one in particular, but as she stepped a good decent bit away from the building, the ground beneath Babel began to sprout flames. Surging around her, symbols of a ritual circle formed, and pillars began to surge from four corners. From the circle, slowly raising itself from it, was the god of the underworld, Hades
With his summoning, Hades reached out and picked Babel up in his arm, and flew off towards the construction site.
Yukiko was left a bit shocked when Rem downright just bolted from both her and Nyale. She would have been more reactive had she not been drunk, but the effects of the alcohol she had been consuming for the night had been catching up with her, and she felt dizzy. She grunted, stumbling towards Rem and trying to hurry up. "s**t!.... Rem! I... am too drunk to fight!"" She shouted, trying to keep up with her cousin but she had to lean up against a wall and shuffle her way there.
Mai was about ready to continue her night of fun with her man, when all of a sudden Eren had chuckled glass at her man's shoulder. A glare lit up in her eyes so fierce that she was downright almost instinctively going for her gun, but she stopped herself, seeing her man take a fighting position. A grin formed wide on her face after seeing that and took her fighting stance as well. "You must not have a lick of sense in your head. Attacking my man is a one way trip to the hospital." Or at least that was the plan until suddenly the princess of Eden City was here in the flesh, stopping this confrontation from happening. Mai scoffed at the interference, looking agitated, but she didn't make a move immediately, wanting to see what her man would do first. "Well if it isn't the princess herself! You look like you're a little off game today. You sure you want to be getting involved with scuffles in that state?" She asked, a little amused to see the princess drunk.
Xaris, meanwhile, had been stationed on a skyscraper, overlooking the city. It was the easiest place for her to observe the environment around her while she was observing this place. There was much to be done in Galbadia, and today's display showed that Galbadia was primed and ready to provide service to the world again. Even if people disliked their presentation, it was clear that the growing monster problem in the world would need to be dealt with. In the midst of her thoughts, however, she noticed the three flashes of light coming from the construction site roof. Taking her handgun, she aimed down the scope of her pistol, able to see from miles away. Seeing through the scope, her eyes frowned as she noticed Matthias with Koyuki, and it was obviously going very poorly. She wasn't sure what was going on, but Koyuki was the one that was damaged, while Matthias showed no sign of harm at all. What was going on? Concerned by the growing development, Xaris made a call to Marcus.
But the entire city would be well aware of the situation brewing.
Koyuki remained silent despite Matthias's efforts to get some sort of verbal communication out of her. There was nothing in her eyes that showed that she was listening, at first, until the memories of Riyel faded from her mind, causing her body to twitch and her eyes to widen with unfathomable rage. "Blizzard..." With triple still in effect, three orbs of ice formed above Koyuki's head and smashed into her skull all at once, making her head shift only slightly, enough to make her head bleed and drip down her face. After that strike though, something changed in Koyuki, her demeanor shifting to something both akin to unhinged and insane. The blood that trailed down her face, covered her right side, but as it dripped, she raised her right hand and brushed her hand across her cheek up through her hair, spreading the blood across and making her look even more insane than before. If that wasn't bad enough, she looked at her hand, slowly licking the blood across her hand before she lowered it and stared at Matthias with an unnaturally proper pose. The position she took was formal and with a slight bow with her right hand gesturing towards her chest, giving a proper butler like bow. Without a word, the entire city began to rumble and shake like an earthquake was going off. Everything trembled, and despite the entire building they were standing on shaking with such violent intensity, Koyuki didn't budge, not even shift from her position, but she did do one thing she hadn't done in a long time.
Smile.
An explosion went off in the water outside of the shore of the ocean, and what followed was a creature bursting forth from the ocean floor, the water shot upwards like a nuke going off, and out from the ocean, came a beast of massive proportions. It stomped forward, one after the other, moving over to the construction zone until it stood directly behind Koyuki, towering over the building and staring down at Matthias. Each step the creature took caused the entire earth around them to shake violently, caving into the creature's stomps as it made its way over to the construction site. The creature roared again but this time with its face directly behind Koyuki, its breath rushing past her, blowing her hair wildly as the gust of breath hit Matthias like a rushing 90mph wind. Its claws raised up, each one somehow deliberately being delicate as it gripped onto the sides of the construction site. It hunched over Koyuki, as if using its body to shield her from all sides, and staring down Matthias with the most ferocious gaze, growling. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Raeka Everett-Maris Status: The Stormfront
Location: The Game Stalls
____________________________________________________
Such a grating accent. The pink haired man spoke with all the finesse of a dog trying to howl with a mouth full of butter. Sloppy, confused, and more than anything it needed to keep it's mouth shut. Not that it's taunts were very effective, the dog didn't know what it had asked for, and Raeka had heard worse from Mai when they were flirting. At least until...
Peace festival? The prior insults had slid off of Raeka's ego as the non factors they were, but calling this sham a peace festival was the one thing that got under his skin. "Hypocrisy, thy name is Unita." He spoke with venom, the nearby shadows growing darker as his foul temper rose. Raeka's amethyst eyes flickered to Rem for just but a moment after she arrived. 'Hypocrisy, thy daughter.' He thought, but that petty princess would meet her just deserts later. This chump had made Rae bleed. It was only too fair to return the favor.
He flashed a half mad smile at Mai. "Let's skip the trip to the hospital, express service to the graveyard." With another snap, the lights flickered, and the Sorcerer took a moment to flex his element. A shroud of darkness slithered out from the shadows, and with lightning speed wrapped itself around Eren's head. It only got darker for him, as he got to enjoy the wonderful benefits of 'Blind'. A good spell to deal with slack jawed idiots.
Bursting forwards, Raeka expected to be out muscled by this guy. He was taller, probably heavier so direct hits wouldn't be the best approach. Although if anything, the eagle eyed Sorcerer saw the tell tale signs of alcohol. That would likely slow him down, and that could be exploited. After the brief moment it took to close in, Raeka through a ancillary punch he expected to be blocked. In fact it was only just misdirection. After the non-committal punch was thrown, he quickly darted to the side, sending a much more focused and meaningful kick at the side of Eren's knee.

Status: Yep. That's the mouth to hell.
Location: After-Hours Construction Site
____________________________________________________
There was a oddity in the matter of fact that Matthias had to usually do a bit more to be winning a fight than just stand there, but the bleeding Koyuki was doing plenty of work herself. He figured her end game was to limit break, and prepared the contingency to simply kill that factor whenever it came up, but still, he had his hands raised and shared her smile. Crazy was always fun. But then the ground trembled.
Matthias met her at remaining surprisingly stable despite the earthquake, his expression becoming one of fatigue. The man lowered one hand before his face as uh, well, monster breath at high levels of speed hit him with a stomach churning smell. It wasn't the worst that he had smelt, but damn was it bad. He didn't really want to stick around anymore.
The Director seemed to be wholly unsurprised or concerned still. If there was anything, it was a hint of surprise that she had gone ahead and summoned her large and in charge Kaiju that snuck past his fatigue. He could only wonder if she was unaware that he had been around during the Second Sorceress War. Matthias could remember the unsound strategies the Gardens and Resistance members at time took relying too much on the monsters for defense. He also remembered the ways developed to get around them, one of which he had on hand yet... it wasn't necessary. Not yet.
"You're making a scene, so I'll be leaving. However give it a thought, imagine it. Riyel Vicaria no longer being some misty eyed memory that you can't grasp. All of Trabia could remember who he was and what he did." He held up a finger, before slowly reaching into his vest and pulling out some sort of medical injector with a light blue liquid inside. "Small dose, if you want a sample. Perhaps with context, you could even have a chance of being a real mother to Kalen."
Keller lowered the device to the ground, before with a small kick sliding over the injector to her. "If you want more, or to meet again, just say 'Memento Mori'. I'll get in touch." He may get chewed out for taking such a risk, but then again, there was no harm, no foul. It was only Trabia making a scene, afterall. Assuming Koyuki didn't go on the attack, he would simply turn and leave, disappearing into the shadows. While he liked to provoke, he wasn't here for it.

 Koyuki Rieko Status: Insane┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Throughout that entire exchange, Matthias again, didn't get an answer out of her immediately, and it appeared as if there was no immediate danger apart from the obvious. His gesture did not go unrewarded, because instead of Kaiju swinging hits massive claw down onto him, the creature instead merely moved its arm in front of Matthias's pathway off the roof platform. It was then that he heard the sound of Koyuki picking up the syringe, laughing insanely. "Hahahahahahahahaha!! Oh, Matthias.... You've gotten me all worked up and you intend to leave so soon when it was about to get to the good part?!" She sounded deranged, beyond off kilter. Her personality had done a 180, and she somehow seemed so incredibly joyful in this moment. Was it the knowledge he bestowed upon her? No, he definitely did not get the impression that what he said made her happy. No, this kind of laughter was only made from someone who believed they lost it all. That nothing mattered anymore. She looked at him with such an ecstatic expression that she was panting heavily, almost to the point of sounding like she was hyperventilating. "Don't be so camera shy now! This is a festival right?! We have a show to perform to the world! Galbadia is known for its pretty toys and weapons! But we Trabians, you know what we are best known for?~" She added a bit of whimsy to her tone, almost coming off as playful if not for her unhinged smile. "Our monsters of course! But you know, who the biggest monster here is?" She looked almost gleeful as she followed up with that question, without giving him a chance to answer. "It's me!~" She added a melodic tone at the end there, humming it to him with a feral grin expression.
But, despite everything, despite expectations of what might have happened here, Kaiju did not make a move to attack Matthias, merely stop him from leaving as Koyuki spoke in her unhinged demeanor. Raising her hand up that was holding the syringe, she pressed the needle up against the vein in her neck and spoke. "We can make this a little gamble Matthias. I don't give a ******** about the consequences anymore. I'll inject this drug and we'll see if you live up to this expectation. If it works I might just kiss you! Ahahahahaha!" She looked so happy for a moment, injecting the drug while staring at Matthias, waiting to see how these effects would play out in front of him.
Once injected, Koyuki inhaled sharply, taking in the effects as if it was giving her complete and utter clarity to her mind. Her head leaned back, and the high of adrenaline, mixed with the reality that she could remember in full detail everything, and the knowledge that came with that made Koyuki burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face as she threw the syringe. "Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Oh... I remember... yes... ahahahaha!!!! I finally remember!!" The sky began to gather with violent black clouds of lightning, and Matthias could feel the static in the air with how the hair around his body began to stand on its end.
"I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree."
With every word Koyuki spoke, the storm around them began to gather, spiraling from the sky like a whirlwind and tornado, the sky lighting up as lightning cracked through the entirety of the city, centralizing down upon Koyuki as the centerpoint. The lightning struck the palm of her hand as she raised it up, the lightning forming with hot plasma in her hand a double bladed sword, with the shape of Ixion's horns at both ends. The stoim gathered down into her hand, and the entire city would see it all gather into that blade until the sky was clear again, causing her weapon to explode with a lightning aura around it, and her in the process. She had summoned the Horn of Ixion.
Again, despite these actions, Matthias did not feel that same killing intent from Koyuki. Something had changed in her. "Let's humor me here Matthias! What is it you want from me?~ I am feeling incredibly generous at the moment!" ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Matthias Keller
Status: Free Fallin'
Location: Never There
____________________________________________________
Matthias came to a stop at the large monster claw decided to impede his progress. The one eyed scoundrel thought about forcing Kaiju to leave, but it's display was better for the public eye than not. He patted the guardian's hand for good measure. "Hey, big guy." Turning half-way back around, Matthias slipped out a pack of the galbadian best and began to tap it against his hand as he listened and watched her flamboyant display.
It was all a bit much, to be quite honest. Keller was already missing the time she was simply bonking herself on the head with ice, and now she was adding a light show to the whole song and dance. It was a fine show, but the Director was never one to be front and center, he was always the not-so-noticed stage hand that made sure everything was just so. Anyways, flicking a cigarette to his lips, he took a moment to light it with a long drag.
"Humor you? Alright." The heavy breathing of kaiju made sure the Galbadian's smoke cleared the opposite direction of Koyuki. "Let's start with something nice, the heart of the matter I suppose. Peace between Trabia and Galbadia." It was now that Matthias took a squat, a pretty uncomfortable pose with the suit he was wearing, but it is what it is. "How's that, for starters? I'll be in touch, Koyuki, I hope this is a start to a beautiful friendship." Matthias gave her a small finger salute, and honestly just seemed to disappear. As if he was never there at all.

Lost in skies of powdered gold
xxxxxxxCaught in clouds of silver ropes
xxxxxxxxxxxxShowered by the empty hopes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAs I tumble down, falling fast to the ground
I know I'll wither, so peel away the bark
xxxxxxxxx'cause nothing grows when it is dark
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIn spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
xxxxN y a l exxxxL a y t o s▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⊰ ✮ ⊱▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Ny blinked as Rem seemed to activate like a robot at her words, darting off through the crowd towards the fray, with Yuki stumbling after her. Much like her silver haired friend Ny was in no state to hurry after Rem. She swore as she noticed Yuki give up following Rem altogether and lean on the wall, evidently in a bad state. Can't leave her here like this... she thought, her mind ticking over.
Need to sober up quick... She noticed a stall nearby with bottled drinks and stumbled over, grabbing a water. The girl cracked it open and immediately poured the whole bottle over her head and face. Then, dripping wet, she grabbed another and drank the whole thing in one go. And then she grabbed a third...this one for Yuki.
"Sorry I'll pay you later I promise!" She called back over her shoulder to the irate stall keeper as she ran back over to Yuki.
"Here, this will help" She urged, handing her the water bottle. "Fancy a lift?" Instead of going through the crowd, it seemed far easier to go over it.
Ny was enveloped in a familiar warm yellow glow as she summoned her magic, and her large gold-feathered white-tipped wings appeared behind her, unfurling with a soft rustle. Ignoring the stares and muttering of the people around them she reached for Yuki, scooping her up with firm hands.
"I've got you darling, don't worry"
With that, and a majestic sweeping of wings, Ny took off holding Yuki. She didn't go too high, not wanting to risk it with a passenger, yet still the cool wind blew over them as she made a bee-line towards where she could see Rem standing on the foam behemoth. The cold air at least helped to clear her head. On the ground below her friend she spotted space to land where the crowd had dissipated, by the looks of it where the ruckus had started. In a flurry of feathers Ny landed somewhat ungracefully, yet somehow upright, and gently set Yuki down before turning her attention on the unfolding fight.
The pink haired lad she did not know, nor the ominously crazed looking girl in the kimono, but the third culprit caused her to stare in surprise. A face she hadn't seen for a while, but a very familiar one.
"Raeka!! Cuz!" Ny called out. She had no idea why they were fighting, or who started it, but quite frankly it was almost a relief to see that it was some silly boys squabble happening and not something more serious. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Come on, cuz, this isn't cool..."
Ny was considering intervening when suddenly the explosion rocked the city, the ground quaking violently. She grabbed onto a lamppost to steady herself until it stopped.
"What the hell-?!"
The answer was instantly obvious, as she locked her eyes on the massive GF roaring and stomping it's way across the city towards the outer edge. Her blood ran cold at the sight of the colossal creature. Oh lordy, that thing is huge! She shot a worried look up at Rem.
"Somehow I don't think that guy was invited to the party" And then came the lightning, cracking across the whole sky and seemingly centering on the location of the beast. What the ******** is going on?!
"I'm going over there to deal with that! You guys sort your s**t out!" Ny shouted.
Without anymore hesitation or another word to the others, she took off into the sky again, heading straight for the Kaiju as fast as she could fly. As she approached the enormous creature it was then she spotted the lone figure on the rootftop.
"Huh? Koyuki?" Ny flew down and landed several feet away from the woman, watching her warily whilst also keeping an eye on the Kaiju. God, it was even more terrifying up close. "Ms Koyuki, are you alright? It's Nyale Laytos. Please, let me help you...?" She asked slowly. The woman did not look okay.
