The Three Realms War [A DMC, Bayonetta and Darksiders RP]

Mary had almost forgotten how the Charred Citadel felt. It was reminiscent of hell, lava, fire, brimstone constructs looming in the distance. But there was a pleasant warmth to everything, like a nice toasty cabin in January, with a fire going. It certainly didn't ring of the base of operations for a powerful contingent of agents based on saving the earth. Not that she had any idea what that would look or feel like.

It seemed she was the first to return. Not many Watchers seemed present, and none of her allies were present. Or, at least, she didn't run into any of them while trekking to her room. Gently opening the door and entering, she was greeted with her simple temporary abode. A nice queen-sized bed, a dresser, a shelf, a weapons rack, a small table with a lamp, and one of her own recliners she requested a Watcher bring in. Although it seemed to have a new tear or two in it, it was still just as comfy.

Setting her weapons down and undoing her bonnet, Mary unwound for a small amount of time, simply lying on her bed. Fighting demons was tiring work, after all, and a mission would be coming again soon. She was honestly surprised she was allowed to assist with protecting Fortuna with everything going on, but she had faith in her allies. A simple trip to an alternate dimension or something like that would be no issue for an authentic half-demon, two full demons, and a man whose life was built on making weaponry to protect himself and others.

But as she relaxed, there was some inkling in the back of Mary's head that she should have gone anyways. That Nero could have handled everything. And there was the fact that the other girl, Korasa or Kosara or something like that, didn't return with her. Could she have died? It was a possibility but... Mary had gotten out just fine and she wasn't even- Korasa was presumably more acquainted with her powers, that was to say, so it didn't make sense for Mary to get off with not more than some gashes and have someone else not even live.

A knock at her door reassured Mary that, at the least, the Watchers were still kicking about. Quickly and a bit excitably opening the door, Mary was not greeted by who she thought she'd be. Instead of being greeted by Souta, Midori, Akoni or hell even Lily, Mary was greeted with... Lily. Not her Lily but Lily from a novel she had read a while back. The resemblance was uncanny, it was like the woman was ripped right out of the page. A gorgeous woman, absolutely stunning even to someone who wasn't truly attracted to the sex like Mary was. She was very surprised to say the least, simply standing there and taking her in. Although Mary was a tad embarrassed at first, what with the low cut dress and legs that rivalled her own, this quickly turned into confusion. Again, there was a fictional character in front of her and Mary wasn't sure how. But the emotion Mary expected to feel but hadn't was jealousy. The woman was admittedly much more beautiful than her but there was a sense of welcoming, like she took no join in being "better," simply that she was an appreciated it every day.

But Mary digressed, she wanted to know why Lily was standing at her door. That very same statement in her mind allowed the pieces to click into place, too. Her ally named Lily had been know to shapeshift as well. "Very nice job, Lily." Mary commented, stepping out from her door-frame and taking a small stroll around Lily. It really was a pretty spot on interpretation, though obviously certain stuff was a tad different from how Mary saw it. The facial expression she wore, even exuberated a much different air. Instead of haughtiness and mischief, Lily was gentle, but strong. The kind of woman Mary had always been, or wanted to be at the least.

"Very nice Lily, just cut the dress a bit shorter and you'd look just like, well, Lily." Mary said, a bit of a genuine smile on her face. "Hah, you almost look like a nice person now!" She joked, sure Lily wouldn't mind the light jab. Still, Lily made stuff like this look so effortless. Akoni too, wielded magic on the battlefield, and he was a man past his prime, not that she still didn't think he was worth bringing along. Briefly, Mary pondered if she had any aptitude with magic of any kind.

"Hmm. Lily, would it be possible for you to teach me something magic? Shapeshifting might be a bit much for a beginner, anything you would suggest?"

Whew, there we are. Can't keep up, I'm so used to posting so little! Still, for you all, I'll try and accelerate my habits.

Convergence: The Restoration

Phocas Amyntas

Intersection of 5,6, & 12

As the eye beam collided with his hand, Phocas cursed openly, allowing the blade to drop to the ground and fishing his Vampire Knives out of his robes. The cocktail of pain, rage, and celestial energies surging through him stalled the process considerably. Before he could swing at her again, the lunarian threw a last ditch punch at him, apparently out of psionic energies, before grabbing his chin and...

Phoc felt so immensely tired. Released from the woman's grip, he softly glided down onto the ground. What had he been doing? Fighting a useless battle against this woman. As weird as she was, it was obvious she had no relation to where he was now. Either the Celestial fiends had already killed him, or they weren't any time soon. He wasn't going to get anywhere by baselessly attacking anyone. Quickly picking up both of his discarded weapons and holstering them, Phoc apologized to the woman he had assailed.

"Sorry about that. I guess I'm trying to get over the fact that either I died, or I'll never see home again." He explained. He had no idea how she'd been taking it so well in all honesty. It was a possibility this was a common occurrence for her, or perhaps it hadn't really sunken in yet. Either way, it'd be best if they stuck together for now. Two strangers in a strange land were better than one, even if he didn't particularly like to admit it.

Speaking of strangers in a strange land, there was another, it seemed. He could be an original inhabitant of this universe but judging by how nonchalantly he was staring at he and she. In fact, he was the only man still left on the street. In a (hopefully less murder inducing) attempt to gather information again, Phoc shouted over, "My, you seem quite unimpressed with our display. Is stuff like that common around here?"

So sorry for holding those two people that need me to respond up! Will get started on a post right now!

Son of a bitch I forgot mentions AGAIN!

@PKMNB0Y, try and calm Phoc down, would ya? _{Or just knock him out. I'm sure he'll come to his senses once he's taken a nap.}

Convergence: The Restoration

Phocas Amyntas - Intersection of 5,6, & 12

As the lunar creature's real form was revealed, Phoc smiled a tiny bit. Finally, all this illusory nonsense was behind him. He just had to slash her, and that would be it. Looking up at it though, she was holding up a card, and there were bizarre red eyes behind her form. As Phoc deflected one of her attacks, it too shouted something, though this was in english oddly, instead of the standard latin.

A ring of magical energy blasted out of her at once. Phoc's wings once again sprouted out from under his robes and brought him higher, being intent on dodging through a gap in the burst. But the magic became transparent, almost gone, before there were two sets of the rings. Phoc quickly realized what was going on, and made an impulsive decision. The sky was about to be flooded with bullets with no way to dodge, the only way he would survive this is if he stopped the fight here.

Gritting his teeth, Phoc charged skywards and vaguely towards his goal. The magic bullets pounded into him, obviously not being powerful enough to kill on their own but the pain adding up. His Star Veil allowed him some respite, and the adrenaline gave him the strength to muscle through, but he knew he was still at least half-way to unconsciousness. All he needed was one decisive blow.

Getting to the heart of the beast, where all the magic was coming from, Phoc finally came face to face with his captor. Half of his mask was shattered, revealing a cerulean eye and hair, and his robes were in much the same state, grey armor peeking out. He looked Reisen straight in the eyes, and with two hands, began to swing his blade down with all his strength.

Convergence: The Restoration

@Raineh Daze Rei and Phoc are beating the crap out of each other. There's a ton of magic bullets being flung, and there were some actual bullets fired as well. If anyone's near 5,6, or 12, then they might be able to hear or see what's going on.
