Launch Day [KRMA]; Rachel & Mayu

Mass Grave



A strange, obviously man-made stone mausoleum marks this area, and a feeling of dread extrudes from its inner sanctums. Within is a large, open pit filled with - shockingly enough - heaps of bones. A keen eye can discern that they're all fake, but that doesn't discourage the locals from using them as weapons - or from using each-other, for that matter.

Stay on your toes - the dead has a tendency to rise this time of year.



OOC: The GM for this thread is Xavier. GM's will RP mook (weak) Grimm during combat, to get players used to working with a GM. The combat system will not be used for these first two threads. Please begin by RPing your landing strategy!

The negativity pooling from the human was palpable, a most tangible treat to the starving Grimm in the area. Red eyes loomed in the murk, their shadowy shapes phantasms of the shade, their still forms perched atop gravestones like gargoyles - all poised in their stalking as the two bickered.

It wasn't long until one moved, a Cubone leaping from the mausoleum and landing with a soft thump, raising its pudgy, reptilian tail in its adamantcy and gurgling a thin growl at the two. Others moved in, some made of nothing more than steel and blade, a single red eye staring them down; while others appeared as specters, ghostly balls of black and white mist. The two were surrounded, as they had drawn out the Grimm from their shelter in their endless hunger for human dismay, yet were kept curiously at bay with the delicious vibes rolling off of Mayu - unsure on how to attack such an erratic thing.

Rachel really want to cover her ears so bad. The archer is really scaring her. First the archer freaked out after they have made eye contact, then, suddenly the archer shout at nobody in the air about it. The mention of Sycamore make Rachel frowned but curiosity washed over her, and about to ask her--only to stop by Mayu's sudden stare, or was it a glare? Mayu warned her to stay out of her way once they get to Academy.

Well, that's another thing to add to my "worst day ever" list, Rachel thought.

But then, she introduced herself and Rachel curl into a grin, well a bit awkward as the archer--Mayu--called her a 'rat'. Something she might have to get used to, and 'course it's very insulting she is aware of, but Rachel shrug off that thought and said casually, "Well, well, alright I get your name, I'm Rachel, get it? Let me remember you, you're...Grumpy princess, right?"

Before Mayu could exploded and Rachel would chuckled about it. Rachel's eyes widen, when she heard something. Rachel shush Mayu's ranting about that nickname and such. She turn around, scanning ther surroundings. Rachel swear she heard a growl...It was a thin growl, and the two turned around to find...a Cubone Grimm.

Rachel raised her eyebrows, and with a grin as she realised it was really a Grimm, she pressed something on her staff, extending longer and not only it grow longer, it's golden part turned into a hook-like, making her whole weapon looking like a cane but the hook was literally made of blade. She loved her Tail's Cane so much. She took a glance at Mayu, the archer and her new partner, who raised her bow up, and looking ready. But before they could have attack it, a number of Grimms behind a Cubone, appears out of nowhere and some are in the form of a specters came out of nowhere and soon, the two were being surrounded by them. One of them had their red eye looking down at them.

"That's a lot.." Rachel said, noticing the amount of Grimms with them, and breathed slowly and careful. She can't beat something that is ghostly or--her eyes looked the Cubone and grin wider, "...Well, except for that one."

For sure.

Mayu was fuming. Absolutely fuming. She came into this Launch Day with pretty low standards-- Sure, she had an ideal partner, which was Melody, but overall, she'd take just about anyone, as long as they were human. Of course she got the one thing she couldn't stand. At least she didn't get a male Faunus... The last thing she wanted was an animal making sexual advances on her. But just looking at her with those disgusting rat eyes made the human girl want to vomit.

"Wh-- No!" Mayu growled. "I am not grumpy princess, my name is-- Don't you dare laugh at me you rodent--"

Rachel shushed her. Mayu was about to yell about that when the sound of movement caused her to tense up. Instantly, her bow was raised, and the fire arrow reloaded. Cubone Grimm-- GREAT. Like this day could get any worse. A ground type Grimm was extremely powerful against her types. Arc's arrows had a multitude of types, and she could always use Grass Dust, if it came down to it, but she always preferred her own type.

"Ground. Great--" She began to speak as more Grimm appeared one by one. Mayu's grip on her arrow tightened and she scanned the hoard. She had never made much of an attempt to learn the anatomy or type of different Faunus--Though now, she regretted it well enough. What the hell was this beast good at?! She'd just have to find out. She was eyeing the Cubone... That's good.

Without waiting for her partner, Mayu took another fire arrow from her quiver and added it to the original, raised her bow, and aimed. She had spent her entire life waiting for this moment. Hundreds of hours of archery practice, hundreds more crafting and perfecting her weapon, Arc. Learning close-combat. Mastering ranged attacks. Building her speed. Honing her concentration. This was her life.

"... Look, I'm not going to get a bad prestige if you get yourself killed so... Go do whatever it is you do with that... stick of yours. We'll work together and get out of this alive, and then we'll deal with this shit. Take the Cubone."

She took a breath and, taking advantage of their stalling, pulled the string back. The arrowhead erupted in an intricate red glyph. Then she fired the two arrows at the Honedge Grimm, creating an opening to the Cubone Grimm. Rachel could have that one. Hopefully she was good at Ground Types. Mayu reloaded and fired again, aiming for the Grimm surrounding her partner's target. The less enemies surrounded it, the easier time she'd have going in for the kill.

Rachel chuckled.

She look over her shoulder to see her new partner, as she raise her staff over her shoulder, saying with a big grin, "...It's my pleasure."

She turn to look at the cubone, adjusting her goggles and begun to charge at it. The Grimms, who notice her first, try to attack her firsthand, but Rachel dodge them slyly as possible as she could. With a smirk, she was glad to thanks the Arcues that she likes climbing in the first place, and that helped her stepping on one gravestone to another nearby as fast as possible.

The Cubone try to run away when it realized Rachel was coming for him, and Rachel just shout, "Yo man! Here I come!"

She swing her staff, that hook part, toward at the Grimm as the creature get slashed by it, and slightly move back away from her. Rachel smirked as she land on the ground, looking up and said, "Wanna more, bro?"

The Grimm she hit it on, growls back and Rachel held her weapon tightly, her legs was slightly bent down and her eyes focus on it. She just chuckled. Rachel is ready for it to attack back, "Oooh yeah, you're going to be so nasty!"

The Cubone lowered its little head and snarled deeply, unsure on who to target. Sure, Mayu was a good target, but Rachel? it was becoming tempting. It leapt from its perch the moment the Huntress loosed her arrows, paying no mind to the unrelated Grimm getting skewered with arrows and clattering against the graves. They weren't dead - of course - but stunned? absolutely. The ground-type had better things on his mind, like the delicious denial pouring off of Mayu, and sprinted hungrily at the human, seizing the opening she gave.

The nearby Ghastly ghosted in, urging others to join the fray. While the Honedge seemed reluctant, they couldn't be kept at bay by their knowledge, and they certainly weren't about to avoid Rachel. The Ghastly, though, curiously enough they kept their distance.

Mayu was no fool when it came to Grimm. As soon as the Grimm came charging in at her, she cursed, holding her bow up, launching fire arrows at them as they approached.

Calm down, Mayu, calm down. You're attracting Grimm. You can't get angry about this right now. Think of her as a guard dog. As a pet. You can deal with this later. Right now, she's your partner. Ignore her weird eyes, and her ears, and her tail. Pretend she's a human. Pretend she's a human...

She aimed for the Gastly first-- The Honedge could be delt with much easier, so she could fight them as they got closer. As for the Cubone...

She grabbed at one of the few Gras arrows she had, pulling it against the bowstring and activating the Glyph, then fired it right at the Cubone, in the hopes of confusing its senses. Then she grabbed two Psychic Dust arrows.

"Rachel, help!"

She fired a Psychic-loaded arrow right at Rachel's feet. The Glyph activated right at the Faunus' side. Then she fired another right in front of her, opening the portal for Rachel to transport to her. There was no way that she could take on the Cubone alone. For now, she was going to have to deal.

Rachel tried to charged at the Cubone, only to face slam into the ground when the Cubone jumped from Rachel where she could have hit him with her weapon. She sat up, brushing off the dust in her face, and trying to focus on the Cubone which is now going through the bunch of Grimms. But she was taken a step away and stopped by the Honedges and few Ghastly ones that seem to focus on her. Rachel curse under her breath. She wasn't sure if she should use her dusts by now. But she so wanted that Cubone so bad that she have to step away and attempted to fight through the rest of Grimms. She really need the dusts now and when she was going to reached for it--She heard own name, and a help after that.

Rachel's ears perked up at her new partner's voice. Rachel look up and see Mayu, as she fire a arrow---Stuck right next to her feet. Rachel was going leap off that arrow, but it send out a Gylph and look ahead. She saw that Cubone, coming at Mayu and she cursed under her breath once more as she realized that the Cubone was going for her new partner, she faced the Glyph and jumped into it.

Transporting is all new to Rachel and she need to get used it already. Her eyes blinked a bit fast, it felt so fast just as the moment she was out of the portal, in front of a Cubone charging and behind her was Mayu. Rachel saw the chance and raise her weapon up in the air just as the Cubone was moving closer, she hit the Cubone right away in the instant, shouting in a bit rage, "HI-YAH!" as if she were chop it with her bare hand.

The Cubone was stunned, and step back in pain as she land on the ground. She really need to improve her landing through portals, she mumbled under her breath and turn to meet her new partner.

"I heard you calling my name, Princess." Rachel give a smirk but was quickly into a serious face when she turn to look at the Cubone she had been fighting (twice? Impossible. She wants more fighting against this guy!).

This Grimm is not going anywhere without her. Rachel knew it damn well not to let this Grimm go away.

Mayu scowled heavily when Rachel referred to her as 'princess'. Just the nickname alone was enough to make her want to throw her fist in the Faunus's face... but that would only attract more Grimm and guarantee herself an early grave.

"Cut the crap." She spat. "Hopefully, that grass arrow will do what it's meant to do. Take the damn monster down."

Turning, she aimed two more fire arrows at the Gastlys to the side of the Cubone. It took careful aim not to set the grass on fire. Then she reloaded, firing another round at the remaining Honedge. Steel Grimm were always easy.
