Indeed, ever since that casual Monday outing turned tragic, civil unrest and tensions have been high again in FDC, and worse yet; fingers are starting to be pointed in Smash Academy's direction. After long since flying under the radar of this whole mess, no attacks have happened on the school yet, but who's to say how long that will last?

The city is tumultuous. It's not impossible to still have a completely incident-less outing, but it would be wise to not go out and about with your Smash Academy uniforms on for all to see. Not unless you like fearful whispers and hissing insults behind your back. Even a simple trip to the grocery store could prove dangerous if you aren't careful.

Maybe you're a little more creative however, and are able to purposefully mask features that might otherwise identify you, or you sneak around in the dead of night using the shadows as your cover...

Humans now tend to segregate themselves with other humans, "freaks" tend to ostracize anyone not of their kin, and all this negativity intensifies rapidly if those colorful candy pops are present. Crime and riots are now common than occasional. The FDC Police manages most of the affairs but they can't prevent everything, and would probably appreciate a helping hand regardless if it's from a human or a "freak"... though thanks and courtesy may go one way or another depending on who/what you are.

Who knows, maybe you'll save someone's life and give them a better appreciation for the things you do instead of what you are...

[[As it says on the tin, HERE'S AN OPEN LOG, GO NUTS. Get together with some of your buddies and go play masked vigilante against a group of drug thugs bullying someone who doesn't deserve it (or maybe they do, for all you know). Save someone from a burning building set on fire by some angry social justice warrior animals. Escort someone to the grocery store. Break into the sheriff's office and demand your own brand of justice. Maybe you simply want to get a drink at the bar without incident.

Please feel free to NPC your bad guys/mooks/innocent civilians, or go snag Kat or one of the other lovely lady mods if you have any questions.

ONE RULE: you must use anime thread titles. That's all.

Edit: I lied. Rule 2: tag yourselves in.]]

"Eat your own shitty pie!"

In the same way Voile couldn't particularly hear things, there was the vibration and the undeniable words. Was it familiar to her, though? She couldn't decide right then and there. There was no time. There were more important things to attend to. Like the girl she was holding, and unsure if she was even helping in the slightest. For all she knew, perhaps she'd grasped at Chiyo too hard.

Whatever the case, the need for her to expend PP the effort to teleport seemed unnecessary. At least with the girl who'd suddenly bounded onto the predicament. A single punch that she made look so... easy had Voile looking at her own left hand. She couldn't picture ever having the physical strength to do such a thing, however. And that moment of awe soon passed with the looming threat that there was still trouble. She still felt a great amount of unease, even with the slight relief, and the mix of emotions left her slightly disoriented.

She moved so Chiyo might better use her as support. "It's okay to lean on me," she reassured the Vaporeon. Then she eyed Blue briefly before looking to the thugs who'd originally happened upon her. "I'm fine. But this girl, she needs help. She's injured."

"All right," Blue confirmed with a nod. That would make the getaway a little bit trickier. Looking over the situation, the clearest route was the way she had come from the side. Blue moved her hands behind her back as she took another step behind her. One hand motioned in that direction, a silent instruction to perhaps start moving that way. The fingers of the other hovered over the small balls at her hip, and there was no surprise as to what those were.

"Don't worry about a thing, you ladies will be a-okay," she continued to assure them, her voice calm and confident despite the circumstances.

"I think you have plenty to worry about," came the growling threat from the toppled thug, now on his feet. "Why didn't you just let the freaks get what they deserve, girly?"

It didn't matter that they were all half a foot taller than her. It didn't matter if there were more of them. She should have been scared. She wasn't. Blue looked at the girls as if she were weighing what the man had said, but the sharp look in her eyes for them was clear: Go.

She glanced back at the thugs, disdain dripping from her every word. "Oh, they'll get what they deserve if they want it, I assure you. The only freaks here are the sorry excuses standing in front of me."

Ignoring the protests of her aching body, Chiyo accepted Voile's offer to use her as support and readjusted herself so that she could stand. She then glanced at Blue. While thankful to have someone to rescue them, Chiyo felt terrible and useless, blaming herself for not being stronger. She wanted to help someone in need, but instead became a hindrance that needed saving instead.

Swallowing hard, she braced herself to run. She determined that no matter how much it may hurt, she needed to put in all her efforts to get away. It was the task given to her and if she didn't accomplish it, the consequences would be dire. She felt that she already made things worse, so now she couldn't allow for any more rooms for error. Her eyes followed the direction Blue's finger pointed in, and she readied herself for the moment to escape. With one last glance at Voile and ensuring that her hold on her companion was secure, Chiyo wanted to make sure Voile was prepared as well before they took off at the signal. The running to come was sure to be difficult and make her grimace all the way to safety.

Voile adjusted each way necessary to hold Chiyo protectively to her. She didn't like the idea of leaving Blue to her own devices. She didn't even know the girl who'd come to their rescue. Sometimes names didn't matter, however. Sometimes it was the message behind the action and admittedly, Blue was certainly a distinctive kind of valourous saviour. Voile would have to find a way to properly compensate later.

Her own gaze had only scarcely looked in the direction that Blue had pointed them in. She didn't need to hear it. She knew very well what the next plan of action was to be. Asking Chiyo to run wasn't exactly on her list of priorities either. If necessary, she'd pick up the other girl and carry her to freedom. And hopefully nothing would happen to Blue in the meantime.

Hopefully.

She eyed Chiyo closely. Don't run. If those guys broke something, running may exacerbate your injuries. I will move as quickly as I can, and if need be, I can pick you up. Thank the Hoenn gods for levitation. A gentle grasp on the Vaporeon girl, and Voile was braced for what would inevitably follow: a potential game of cat and mouse.

"Thank you," and those words were for Blue. "Please be careful."

"Not to worry," Blue assured her, though her eyes were trained on the thug that had taken to cussing her out for her defiance. "I've got the best guardian angels around!"

"Those aren't going to matter worth a damn!" The thug grunted, evidently having come to the end of his rope as he moved to swing at Blue. The trainer was by no means an ace fighter on her own, but she knew the benefits of being small was being a harder target to hit. This was also grounds for self defence now. Blue ducked away from the agitated punch, launching herself forward to knee him solidly in the groin.

A flick of the wrist as he shouted, and the pokeball she held in her hand rose up behind her. The other two had started after the girls, and that wouldn't fly.

"Sienna!"

In addition to the crazy girl hitting people in the nuts, there was now a fuck off huge dragon blocking the way to the other pokemon. The way out was as clear as it was going to get.
