[There's been a series of deep, rumbling bangs and tremors echoing from one part of town today, and the skyline in that direction's looking a little sparser than it did the day before. And-- that building suddenly lurching then crumbling downwards in a blaze of pale blue prrrrrobably isn't anything to worry about, right?

If you go to investigate you'll finHOLY CRAP BRS just blasted a building to pieces in front of you look OUT]

Ah-...

[ brb too horrified to move ]

[stars_struck]

[glances back at the noise--]

Yomi!

[stars_struck]

[bolts in front of her, grabbing her in a hug and wrenching her aside just in time to get a hefty chunk of rock to the back. BRS hisses, but stands her ground, only looking back when everything has settled a little more]

[littlebirdsplay.livejournal.com]

[ clings to her, squeezing her eyes shut, and only opens them when she hears BRS hiss in pain. it takes her a few moments to find her voice ]

W-... what's going on? Are you all right?

[stars_struck]

[doesn't answer immediately, watching the rest of the rubble carefully over one shoulder... and then sags, making Yomi take some of her weight]

... ... you really scared me...

[littlebirdsplay.livejournal.com]

I-I'm sorry...

[stars_struck]

[straightens up, a little wobbly on her feet, and looks Yomi over]

... it's alright. Are you hurt anywhere?

[littlebirdsplay.livejournal.com]

[ shakes her head ] I'm not. Are you?

[ spots! ]

-- Mato!

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

Yomi! Are you alright?

[littlebirdsplay.livejournal.com]

Yes! [ makes her way over ] Black Rock Shooter-san got to me just in time. [ tilts her head, inspecting her closely ] You're not hurt anywhere, are you, Mato?

[tankhanded]

I always suspected this was your true calling.

[stars_struck]

[looks across from her latest volley]

... you could probably do this even easier than me. [nods behind STR's back, at an incoming chunk of rubble] Watch out.

[tankhanded]

_{[ducks slightly behind one of the fists without a care in the world]}

Actually, I prefer not bringing down buildings. I usually have to be in them to do it.

[stars_struck]

... couldn't you just punch it?

[tankhanded]

_{[speech occasionally impeded by bits of masonry bouncing off metal very loudly]}

That still involves standing closer to a falling building than I'd like. Also, the side damaged is the side that will fall and most likely serve as a pivot for the rest of the structure, following path of least resistance.

In other words, it would land on me.

[tankhanded]

I can still shift the rubble afterwards, however.

[stars_struck]

[considers, then angles her cannon upwards and blasts the hell out of the upper, falling sections]

... you just follow up in time.

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—!! [ ]

[stars_struck]

--Mato! Why are you--?!

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

WhyamI? [ ] I'm not the one blowing up buildings!!

[stars_struck]

That's-- [gives up and grits her teeth, giving chase fast enough to gain ground; the next couple of masonry chunks coming Mato's way explode into a shower of dust several feet upwards]

This sort of thing happens way too often...

[stars_struck]

[exhales a breath, and actually looks tired, slumping to a sitting position and rubbing uselessly at her now rather dusty self]

... y-you really worried me, showing up all of a sudden...
