Post by Wrath on Nov 2, 2016 14:37:08 GMT -7
Wrath pouted childishly as she saw her lanterns didn't do what she expected towards the intruder. And now someone else was here? Well this just wasn't going well at all. Scurrying swiftly on the rafters she took a closer look at the newcomer. They were strange, someone that she had never seen before. And he seemed to be talking to himself.... and responding? Well if isn't the craziest thing she had seen thus far. It was almost as weird as the mutt-lizard thing that was roaming about and still attempting to escape. One of her fire balls passed beneath her and she jumped off. She landed gently in the soft caress of flames, her red eyes smoldering with annoyance that was borderline irritation. Why ruin a party? This was all just meant for fun. Surely that wasn't illegal now, was it?

It seems that he wasn’t too late to jump in the situation; already he saw the three Pandaemoniums picking on the giant beast-lizard-thing, making it agitated. Trinity looked around at the crowd, seeing them going for some of the candies spilling all over the floor. Aren’t they frightened about what’s going on around them? Surely they didn’t see the beast before their eyes and thought: “eh, it’s nothing to worry about.”
Now there’re bats flying around the beast, making the situation worse than before. He looked at the woman on the stage, obviously dressing in a manner that would drive any man look upon her go crazy. Her music continued despite the situation; perhaps those things are under her influent. Near her side he saw another woman with red hair and quite a temper to boot, while the guy that’s punching the beast with his barehand is quite recognizable.
“Hey, isn’t that guy the one who help Great White escaped our grasp?”
“Talk about a small world; who would have thought that the three of the Deadly Sins are gathered here tonight.”
“It must be faith,” Trinity said.
With that being said, Trinity quickly jumped over the lizard-beast and landed right before the stage where the music is being play. Without a second of hesitation, he pointed both his weapon straight at the devil-dressing woman:
“Alright you trouble-makers, it is time for you all to face the music.”
After a moment, he tilted his head a bit and stood upright once again. He turned toward his pistol:
“That wasn’t too cheesy, is it?” he asked.
“Maybe a little bit.”
“I don’t think that sound intimidating at all.”
He scratch his head with his pistol before have an idea: “Okay, I got it; let’s rewind that.”
He run back to his original position from before, and once again leap over Lobisomen. Once again he made a perfect landing and pointed both his weapons at Lust:
“You criminal scum, I’ll put a stop to your show once and for all!”
He then turned to his pistol once again: “Any better?”
“Um…a bit? Not really?”
“Oh for crying out loud, how are we supposed to put a stop to them if we can’t even think of a cool line to say?”
“Trinity, I don’t think you should be worry about that when we’re facing against these Pandaemoniums.”
“Easy for you to say; we have to upstage them in their show, that’s how we can deal a fatal blow to them.”
“Alright, Jackal, do you have something that would be intimidating to say?”
“Hm… I got it.”
Trinity put his pistol to his ear, acting as though the gun is whispering to him. With a nod, he went back and does the same loop one more time:
“Prepare to die!”
“Okay, maybe that’s a bit too much, but I don’t wanna do all of that again. Jumping over a giant is not easy to my legs so we’ll have to stick to this one.” he thought to himself.
--- OOC: just so it's understood, no one can hear what the colored text is saying, so it looks like Trinity is talking to his weapon.

As if the party hadn't been getting crazy enough, another unexpected guest had decided to show up! A pair of dark eyes quickly picked out Trinity amidst the mayhem, pupils widening slightly as they appraised him. Whoever this guy was, Lust hadn't seen him before, and the opportunity to mess with a new guy was far too tempting to resist.
Without so much as missing a beat in her song, she burst into a sudden sprint.
Rather than trying to make a safe descent off the back or sides of the stage, she leaped straight off the front edge, graceful as a ballerina. Hundreds of hands reached up towards her in unison, grasping, craving, desperately hoping for the slightest touch from the beautiful devil in red. Had she dove straight onto them, she would have been caught in a living maelstrom, pulled every which way by the lust-fueled strength of the brightly costumed masses she had invited here.
Lust, however, did not fall into their arms. Only the heels of her boots struck the outstretched palms and fingers, ruthlessly stepping over them as she used the crowd's poor digits as mere footholds, stepping stones across a sea of flesh and fabric. Even heads were not immune to her passage, many skulls providing springboards for her to continue her rapid advance. However, painful as her passage was, the howls that followed in her wake were not born of agony, but of delight. Even being stomped on could be the experience of a lifetime, so long as it was her feet grinding against skin and bone.
She danced across the crowd itself, a feat of incredible agility and focus, made possibly only by deeply ingrained training combined with a body working on overdrive. She made it look easy, though in fact it was anything but. Still, it was fast, and would allow her to reach her targets before they even knew what was going on.
While the strange super spoke to his guns and spouted terrible pick-up lines (or battle cries, same difference), Lust covered the distance between them with incredible speed and performed yet another balletic leap, this time landing with one foot perched on Trinity's head, smirking down at him. The song had reached a lull, and with no lines immediately demanding her attention, she brought her voice to bear against Trinity. "Oh, a smooth-talking guy is to die for..."
And then she sprung off, leaping in another direction, putting people between her and him. "...but you're a little too blunt! Try harder, darling!"

The devil-woman dancing and skipping around like a ballerina isn’t attract his attention away from his strong devotion. It’s look as though they’re trying to provoke the beast into frenzy, what with all their effort in attacking the creature with fire and the drooling crowd. If this keeps up, the beast might harm the innocent civilians around it with its sharp teeth and claws.
“We must protect the civilians from harm, they’re in danger.”
“I can’t agree more, Monado,” he said to his sword.
“We can just trap the beast into a thick pile of goo, that outa stop anything in their track.”
“No, the beast is simply following its instinct; we must stop the other from provoking it any further.”
Trinity cling his two weapons together, causing both of them to let out a bright white glow from the inscription on the weapons. The blue flame that he created earlier started to merge in with the fire that Wrath made, stopping them in their track.
“We must hurry; from the looks of thing, there’s not much time.”

Such a foolish attempt on setting fire around him; Monado’s blue flame managed to push back the incoming fire that Wrath made around him, and his cage made of sound wave encase Lust. Just as the situation slowly getting back to control, a new super arrived in the scene. Trinity looked over to the guy who just summon out three ghosts right behind him; there’s so far only one super out there who actually capable of such thing.
“Well Carl,” Trinity waved his pistol in the air, “it’s about bloody time a Bulwark show up. How about you make yourself useful and evacuate the civilians out of here before this wolf-creature got hungry.”
“Trinity, the situation isn’t under control just yet. We need to contain the situation.”
“Eh what’s the rush? It’s not like those Sins are going anywhere.”
“You’re being overconfident again, Jackal; remember what happen last time?”
“Alright then guys,” Trinity talked to both his pistol and bayonet, “we better keep this short and finish this fight quickly. I have a feeling the scheme is dragging way too long that people are getting bored to the point that they can’t even participate fully anymore.”
Cocking his pistol, Trinity gets ready to execute the plan to get the situation under control.

Lust's little rampage came to a sudden halt as a wall of force formed around her... made of sound? How did that even work? Just trying to figure it out made her brain hurt, and, more importantly, it was keeping her from dancing about and enjoying herself. Even by her standards, things were starting to get out of hand.
Over the general din of cheering and screaming and powers going off every other moment, she called out to her ally, her voice suddenly strident and commanding. "Wrath! Get me out of this thing! And these clothes!" Whatever this power was, brute force and pyrokinesis ought to do the trick. Her costume was also becoming a liability- seductive and spectacular though it was, it concealed her body somewhat, and at this point she suspected it would take an eyeful of her goods to finally turn these wannabes into the drooling slaves she needed them to be. Well, needed the men to be, the wolf thing could go. Lust didn't have enough collars to spare for actual animals.
She licked her lips, eyes darting about. Where was Greed? He'd been meant to handle this sort of thing, but she couldn't make out head nor tail of him. Gluttony was nowhere to be seen, and she couldn't hear Pride boasting about anything either. Had they been caught up the the revelry? Honestly, why did she even keep those peons around?
Well, nothing for it. She ripped off her mask, revealing her smooth, delectable features, pale skin framed by bright blue hair and deep red clothing. "All right, everyone!" She projected her voice well, and even amidst the noise, the sound turned heads, the exuberant, excited tone practically forcing attention towards it. "Party's over! Time to go!"
Not everyone would obey her but enough would to cause absolute chaos near the exit. Let the heroes try to reach her with an army of gaudy costumes in their way!

With Lust fully neutralize by being imprison inside his sound-cage and cover head to toe with the mercury-sticky goo, Trinity turned his attention to the other sin among the crowd. It does look like Greed isn’t around at the moment, considering he didn’t see the guy at all ever since he jumped in the fray. He still keeps a close eye on the crowd just to make sure he didn’t got ambush by him. He then turned to the wolf-creature and shouted as loud as he can to pierce through the noise around him:
“Hey doggy, how about you stop attacking the civilians and calm down before you actually start to hurt somebody?”
“I thought we need him to hurt the Pandaemonium.”
“Not when they’re using the huge crowd to be their meat-shield, Jackal.”
“Then we better stop them quickly; perhaps the wolf will understand it no longer has to rampage when the Pandaemoniums are no longer a threat to it.”
“Sound like you got an idea, Monado.”
“Eh…sort of.”

Lobisomem snapped their teeth together in what seemed to be a gesture of irritation as he had the gall to try and tell them not to attack the people! Of course they weren't!
For the first time in battle, they halted and craned their neck toward the man talking to himself, mouth creaking open, "I'm not...gonna hurt them, dumbass!" While the voice was scratchy and shook at their last insult, it was audible even above all the chaos.
Lobisomem started to gather their legs, preparing to finish this...

Of all the Sins, Wrath was the only one who showed up to help, and even her aid was proving virtually useless. If it had been Pride in trouble, then perhaps she would have fought harder, but Pride only made her harder to manipulate, made her more dangerous to tease. Lust had helped form the Sins to enable herself, to recruit some heavy hitters to fill in the gaps where her more insidious power wouldn't work, but looking at them now, she questioned whether they were worth it. They'd gotten boring.
She could do better than them.
When she moved, it was too fast for the naked eye to even make sense of. All too often, she deliberately held herself back, slowing down her dance so as to let others gaze upon her, to charm them into mindlessness. Here, however, she no longer had any need for seduction. This party was a bust, and she was getting the hell out.
The goo, the force-cage, the noise. Any of those could have individually overwhelmed an ordinary human, but even together they weren't enough to hold Lust when she truly let herself go. Gone was the beguiling young lady, and in its place a blur of blue and red, barely visible for a moment as it tore through Trinity's prison like wet paper.
In the blink of an eye, it was gone. At that moment, the mood of the crowd suddenly shifted, the disappearance of the villainess immediately stripping much of the joy out of the occasion. Her power still affected them somewhat, dulling thoughts and making people turn their heads from side to side, desperately searching for her- but without the Sin herself, they regained just enough sense to realize that supers were fighting among them. Screams, panic, and mayhem swiftly ensued.
Lust had left, and without her, the entire occasion would completely collapse. The Sins quite possibly would as well, for she wouldn't be returning to them any time soon. Why should she, when there were so many other villains out there? Smarter than her, stronger than her, more willing to cooperate with her.
Today, the heroes of Emerald City had crashed her party. Which meant that next time, she'd just have to bring it to them.

Lobisomem glared at the fire racing toward them, refusing to flinch as it bit through their skin, sending off the smell of sizzling flesh. But they won! They stood over the wreckage and peeled their lips back until their enormous mouth was on display, fangs catching the light of the frazzled lights until a roar erupted from their throat, they truly looked like a demon on Halloween.
Naturally, the people ran but Lobisomem's eyes were fast, the caught sight of lots of intresting faces...maybe they could use this...
Before, they left, they cast a glance over to their allies, tilting their head and waving a head to follow, mouth parting to allow a soft "Thanks" to reach their ears before they jumped over a roof and disappeared.
Taking option 4!

Somewhere not too far away, in a dim and deserted alleyway, a beautiful silhouette staggered up against the nearest wall. Brightly painted fingernails scratched the grimy surface, leaving thin trails in the murk. A body heaved, deep lungfuls of air swelling and deflating it, as a mind reeled in the aftermath of a night of utter madness.
"Oh... why..." More panting, pupils narrowing to points before widening to dark moons. "Not... again..."
Lust bit her tongue hard, tasting blood. Sour and tangy, rich and metallic, oddly alluring in its own way. The sharp taste and the sharper pain brought her back to her senses a little, and she limped onward, slowly making her way towards one of the few locations in this city where she knew she'd be safe right now.
Tonight had been bad. Bad in a very unusual way. Things were changing for her, changing faster than a poor demon could ever keep up, and who was to blame? The heroes? The villains? The easily swayed masses.
She needed rest. A long sleep, and then some time to think, some time to recover. It would get better, she knew. Lust would find a way forwards. Lust always won out, in the end.
When she did finally reach her safe place, and lay down to sleep, she slept with her arms and legs curled up in a tight ball, clinging to herself for warmth.
