summertime chill // OPEN (Event)

[nosotros]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Downtown
When: June 24th, evening
Summary: Ice pixies are such jerks
Rating: PG-13

It should have been a nice balmy evening. Instead it's chilly, and only getting colder.

Throughout downtown various civilians are asleep on their feet. In some cases literally. What's more the ice pixies, little humanoid creatures that look like tiny and slightly spiny ice sculptures, are out in force, flitting about in groups of two and three and generally causing problems.

But the citizens of El Sera aren't alone. The magic stirring in the air calls out to the mages and magical boys in the city, seeking to draw them out of their homes and to the defense of the city...

(ooc: Go nuts, guys! You're free to NPC the ice pixies on your own, as I won't have time to reliably do so myself. However, I can provide prompts, IC stumbling blocks, or other tools for you to play with on request!)

I'm trying only for your benefit.

[John's fairly certain he's being mocked and in the new get-up, he wouldn't honestly blame the other man. Excepting that the other man is dressed as a knight.]

Eyes up.

[The pixies are upon them, one flying up to harass the knight and the other taking aim at John's eyes with its pointy little fingers. He jerks back, then slides right when the car blocks his retreat. Close range isn't exactly conducive to a gunfight, but he takes a swing at the monster. It dodges neatly, but it gives John a moment to regain his personal space. When he comes to a stop just a few feet away, he's engulfed in the warmth rising from a manhole cover on the street. The pixie's still in pursuit, but it stops abruptly, like it's hit a wall, then falls back. Well, that was interesting.]

Got anything hot?

[He calls out to the other man as he raises his new gun and takes aim at the pixie who's forming a ball of ice to return the favor.]

[estranges]

Wouldn't your gun be hot enough? [He's been around Laguna long enough to know that guns can be very hot when fired. He's just not sure what the good medic can do about that in the situation.

That's why he's leaving it to the actual gun user. Kain's just doing his best to deflect any piece of ice that comes his way with his lance, and following it up with a blast of wind aimed right at one of the annoying ice fae by spinning his lance in front of him.]

It's a rifle, not a las-

[John cuts off his own snide remark as he fires on the pixie in front of him. Light does seem to burst forth, but he can see it's a bullet casing that's ejected even as the monster shatters. Well, all right, then.

He turns the gun toward the pixie attacking the knight and shoots it. It fractures, as well. John's well aware that he's a deft hand with a gun, but that shouldn't have been as easy a shot as it was. He looks for the other pixie, but it seems to have fled. He scans for any others before stepping out of the safety of the warm vent and approaching the other man.]

Thanks for the help, though your fancy dress seems to be catching. [He glances down at his outfit now that he's not being assaulted.] Have you seen more of those things?
