Hngggggg

Grow another body starfish style!

((Technically the one on her arm would have gotten hit, too, since a grapple is still an attack, right?))

Nah, it more attached itself to her arm and turned itself into a superheavy weight thing.
Anyhow Imma plot in 4-5 hours.

oh now you come onlinezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

35.

"COME ON!" She grins, spreading out her arms. "COME AT ME, YOU METAL BITCHES!"

(Ooh, lucky.
Well, kinda.)
Spreading out your arms was a mistake, it seems, as they seem eager to target them.
One cube misses your sword hand, but the other hits your opposite hand and wraps around it almost like a goo, suddenly becoming ubearably heavy. As your hand drops to the ground, the third cube takes the opportunity to rush into your stomach with a blunt hammerlike protrustion coming out of it.
Knocks the wind out of you, at least a bit.
Now then, you're in a bad situation. Don't know where the other cube went, the one that gutchecked you seems to be charging up some form of attack, and your hand's weighed down.
At least your sword hand's free.
Wat do?

I hereby declare, with Deus Malus as my witness thus: armor is but a wearable shield and shields are but mere portable walls, hence armor is simply a wearable, portable wall. But a wearable portable wall is still a wall. Thus I declare with the authority vested in me as a Breacher, that their armor is null and void to my rifle as is with all walls!

Lilja summons another magazine and retreats whilst firing rounds that ignore its armor.
((Yes, she specializes in arguing such logic to the god/DM-avatar of her world.))

The Super-Ego does jack shit. The cubes were performing no transgressions, thus it had no reason to respond.
In the commotion, Lucinda runs away with Yukari.

Florencio draws his railgun and begins firing from a safe distance.

(beep)
The cube gets staggered somewhat by these new shots, but seems to decide that it should remove said problem and lashes out with four tendrils toward the hand that's gripping the trigger.
Reaction bro?

(moo)
The cubes swamp the Super-Ego, doing the same thing as was done to flame sword girl, but over its entire body but its head.
It'll proabably fall to the ground and stay there unless it has extreme strength or something.

(this is a potato space)
There are no targets, as the cubes seem to have burrowed into the ship. You can hear a few of them grinding around, but they seem to be heading for the lower hold/the engine room/both.
Wat do?

Okay, so if they actually attack her they get hit with a combination of her insane armor soak plus a charm that auto-counters their attacks by simply being so damn hard that it breaks shit.

I sleep now.

Sorry.

Wow.

No problem - actually I have to do that myself.
It's just an immobilization thing that comes with being so damn heavy.

"Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me!"
Florencio fires a soul at the nearest cube, its rippling form streaking through the air into it.
"Shut the fuck up and get the fuck off!"
As it attaches, it snaps back to whence it came, sending a small, concussive shockwave straight into the cube. The magic inside the soul spreads into another empty soul which is forced out and snaps back again, repeating the cycle. This happens numerous times each second, propelling the cube away before the magic spreads to numerous souls at the same time, the combined snapback causing a concussive blast that launches it away at high speeds.

It wasn't exactly a lethal attack. Namely because Florencio isn't in the military, lethal magic wasn't going to be taught to civilians any time soon after all, so he had to make do with what he had.

(no rolls here, why do you ask)
The cubes seem to be oddly familiar with this method of attack, and promptly cheat somehow catch each other in their gravitational fields, and in a violation of physics that'll leave it crying in the corner for a while, fling themselves via using the momentum into the ship. Once there, they latch on and begin to saw through by rapidly rotating.

Eh sure, say 15 cubes attack the airship, aiming to take down the engines.

((Ehehe
Wait that's an Exalted thingy right? Just how strong/sharp is it?))

((Whoops was waiting for Elf.))

Several more hours pass, though the sun doesn't move from its position in the sky. Eventually, the people of the city succumb to curiosity and filter out of the tower over a period of an hour to gaze upon the edifice.
This is when several rectangular holes open up in each side of the pyramid and a seemingly endless series of half-meter cubes of the same material as the pyramid issue out from them. They almost seem to form streams of cubes, each heading to a different part of the city.
Characters do anything or no?
