OPERATION: DRAGON BREATH

This is a catch-all log for people reacting in-person to the whole dragon declaring war on Asgard thing.

Feel free to try to fight him or the fires he leaves or to otherwise panic!

Be careful of burning debris!

Also, please put the general location in your thread starters so people close together can communicate!

...

Your power's speed.

[ CLOUD that is the entirely wrong objection to be making here ]
anonnomnomnom: (I've even got the villain routine down.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-02 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Objections are for squares.]

Speed's useless compared to what I used to have! But there's no way I'll miss.

[Anon, that's not answering the objection.]

[ ... There is no other way he's hitting that dragon. Even if he uses projectiles--he knows he's not that good a shot. Connecting isn't enough with a dragon's scales and armor.

This is worse than when they volunteered him to be launched off Mr. Dolphin. ]


Prove it. --With something else, first. [ He can take crazy ideas from teammates! Non-teammates should be vetted. There may be a method but this is still definitely madness. There's a hefty burned out beam of wood that's getting picked up and lobbed at Anon. Catch. ]
anonnomnomnom: (My what a nice sword you have.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-04 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[You know you want to, Cloud. But for the moment, Anon quite easily catches and tests the beam with an amused look on his face.]

I don't mind, but don't you think it would be easier for you to knock the dragon out if he's not flying this way in a rage?
pyritic: (save it for later Barret)

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Your power's speed, right? Think we can figure something out for that.

[ Still watching the dragon and trying to think of what the hell they can do and who else is attacking. Hey--if it flies this way, it closes the distance. Just gotta divert the mouth.

Welp. Cloud is definitely contributing some of the crazy in his team. ]
anonnomnomnom: (My name is Kirby.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-04 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, I guess you're right about that! [He starts deliberately and steadily backing up.]

[...]

Heeeeeeere I goooooooooooooo!!

[You may feel a sudden gust.

THERE IS NOW A LOG FLYING AT THE DRAGON IN THE DISTANCE.

...

.....

.................

......

CLONK.]
pyritic: ((rufus says the weirdest things.))

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gust? Right. His speed--the momentum--

... It hit.

He's going to regret his next two words. Maybe more than anything else he's ever said. Maybe even more than anything he's ever done.

He hasn't even said them yet and he already regrets them.

But. Something's gotta get done. ]


Yeah, okay. When it's by those two buildings again. [ It's circling through them and they're tall enough to give a landing spot for if--when, let's be realistic--he gets thrown off. ]
anonnomnomnom: (Default)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-04 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spoilers: At least you'll be alive to regret them! Anon looks suitably pleased with himself as he pops up straight next to Cloud again after a moment.]

Whatever you say! We'd better prepare, huh?

[Walking back quite a few paces, again. Got to get that head start, after all.]

Come back here!
pyritic: (frustrated)

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ADDING ON TO THAT TRAINWRECK OF REGRETS--

or being a good compliant video game protagonist

(it's debatable)--

Cloud comes back there, mentally running through his inventory and the game plan.

This is not really a game plan that should be thought through. ]
anonnomnomnom: (My name is Kirby.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-04 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's not exactly that much time for thought, anyway -- the dragon is already coming back around.

Anon does a few quick stretches, more for something to do than anything else, watching the dragon with sharp eyes. And then--]

Ready?

[--and then he abruptly disappears from sight.

Along with the ground disappearing from under your feet, Cloud, because he sure did just grab you by the ankles.

You are now heading dragonward at mach speed. By the ankles.]

Heeeere we gooooooooooooooooOOOO!!!

[There's no spinning only because that would detract from the momentum of the running start -- enjoy.]
pyritic: (motion sickness)

1/?

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy--!

[ Cloud doesn't get the chance to say anymore. Because not only did the ground just disappear from his feet, the air disappeared from his mouth as he's getting whipped through the air incredibly fast.

He can already tell this is an experience to never repeat again even if there isn't a dragon at the end of it. He might not have gotten spun around but he still feels a little sick. The air resistance makes his eyes water way too easily; his body feels, somehow...less sturdy.

This is not something to realize when you're flying toward a dragon, mind, so Cloud shoves that into a mental compartment of things to freak out about later, because right now-- ]
pyritic: (can't take it anymore)

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's finding a way to grab onto that dragon's foot and spin himself up onto it, lessening the momentum's impact so it doesn't all smack him in the face, thanks. The spin wrenches his left wrist quite a bit and he hisses through his teeth, but considering the combined insanity of Anon and Cloud it's pretty much a damn miracle that he gets on a dragon in one piece and doesn't immediately fall off writhing in pain.

Of course, the stupid dragon hasn't even paid attention to him still, which says something about how little it feels threatened and immediately gives Cloud a sinking feeling. Cloud knows when something's not going to work (usually) so rather than be a complete maniac, he plays it as safe as a maniac currently situated on top of an airborne dragon can, gripping on with his left hand while using his right to take out his nail bat and bashing away.

It's not very long at all for the creature to take some notice of this and start twisting its foot to knock him off, at which point Cloud does the first smart thing he's done all this thread: cut his losses and jump off to the high ground, immediately rolling behind a convenient pile of rubble for the fire he knows will come. ]
pyritic: (not worth putting in my inventory)

OKAY, REALLY DONE NOW.

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ FWOOM.

....................his left wrist is wrenched, his top spike is singed, and that damn dragon was barely bothered.

Never going with bodily-tossing plans again. ]
anonnomnomnom: (I'm not that great. Really!)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-04 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once he's launched the Cloud-shaped projectile, Anon stays in place for a moment to admire his handiwork -- before promptly taking off to keep up with the dragon, because he wants a front-row seat to this!!

... Though, apart from the flying and the half-smacking into the dragon, it doesn't look too exciting up there, does it? Well, it's okay.

It's not like he really expected you to do much anyway.

At least now he knows more entertaining things he can do with his powers--

Like, for example, popping up beside you in your little flame-shelter and quite handily having the flame miss his top spike.]

No good? That's too bad -- it was such a good plan, too.

Maybe next time you could get a better weapon! And I'll get even faster.
pyritic: (not worth putting in my inventory)

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This look, Anon.

THIS LOOK IS NOW AT YOU

he's pretty sure all the problems in this plan are obvious now. ]
anonnomnomnom: (My what a nice sword you have.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-04 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[This look right back at you.]

... Did the dragon scare you that much up close?

[Waving a hand in front of your face now.]
pyritic: (thinking it over)

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
{ okay snapping out of that look because HAND

the look he snaps into next isn't much better. ]


How about, you get tossed next time?
anonnomnomnom: (Default)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-04 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blink, blink. Griiin.]

It's too bad, isn't it? I can't throw myself!
pyritic: (mr. serious about his work)

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-04 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, about that. ]

Did you have to throw me by the ankles? [ It's pretty obvious Cloud isn't too traumatized by the experience if he can complain about the little things. ]
Edited 2012-02-04 19:30 (UTC)
anonnomnomnom: (Wish I had the talent to study.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2012-02-05 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... Well, I couldn't throw you by the hair, could I? And your arms would probably come out of their sockets. And if I tried your middle you'd probably end up kicking me! And there wouldn't be a good grip, anyway.

[Looking like he's thinking rather seriously about this--]

Which part did you want me to throw you by?
pyritic: (whew...)

[personal profile] pyritic 2012-02-05 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Face. Palm. ] Forget it.

[ With a quick look over his shoulder to check for the dragon, Cloud's getting up to start heading down. Gotta see if there's something actually productive he can do with this night going to hell.

...It really says something that he hasn't realized yet how weird Anon is. ]
