[Powder Miner]

Faith had been two hallways away from the lounge room (and decently sized hallways, making her a moderate distance away) in the middle of her painfully awkward conversation with Karen, when the voices of Enn and Winter reached her ear.
<“What the fuck?!”> she spat out, her immediate reaction being a shameless English expletive.
Then she sputtered out a bit, and actually responded to the AIs... ”Excuse me, but... what?”

Could she really have heard that correctly? Could there really be some sort of monster in their employer’s underwear?! It took only a second more of thought for Faith to take off sprinting towards the lounge.

[Strider03]

Previously:
Shef received the message from Minato in his ear, and felt his face rapidly contort into an expression of absolute bewilderment and dread, then into into a resigned look as he heard Yoake's message after. He stood up, turned to Mary, and spoke. "Excuse me. I need to go. Sorry." About what happens next. With that, Shef opened a portal under his feet, saw the confused look on Mary's face before falling into the lower floor with a soft thud. He swiftly closed the portal behind him.

"Yoake, the seal is Mary's panties.  Need you to come and get them. Seduce her or some shit, I don't know." He cut the transmission short, then leaned up against the wall for a moment. Things had almost caught up there. Using the Requiem quickly between different people could cause these problems, since the best time to use it was when he didn't know about people and needed to convince someone to do something. Thus, it was more likely that after doing it, they'd begin to question things, and make a mess. Of course, he could always requiem them again, but that became a cycle, and dangerous. And then he heard a thud, swiftly followed by a message from the two AI. "Fuckin--Jump to others? This is gonna go great."

Present:

After the message and response, Shef pulled himself up from the wall marched to a location that wouldn't be directly under the room he'd just been in, then set a portal to get him to the floor of an adjacent room or hallway. Preferably room. Once he was there, he set a portal in the wall, climbing another level until he was above the servants' lounge. From there, he opened a small portal to peer down on the battle. "Enn. Have a birds' eye view of the situation. Not engaging yet. Close combat isn't my thing, there's smoke, and I'd prefer to keep attention on me low to maintain the vantage point. Will engage with nonlethal ammo once the smoke clears somewhat." He pulled a small pistol out of an interior pocket of his jacket, smaller pistol than he normally used, and snapped a clip with a white paint mark on it into the slot.

Shef loads up the five-seven with the nonlethal ammo, screws on the suppressor, and lays down on the ceiling, waiting for the smoke to clear. Then, he'll take four shots with the nonlethal ammo, switching up the exit location of his peephole portal every shot.

Oh, oh wow! Yoake was impressed. Not only had her advances been avoided, but she'd been repelled by a Keijo technique! Even if it was amateurish, she was still chuffed!

Seems like even strange constructs want to learn Keijo. She's really goin' places with this now.

She spins in place, shedding her covers, and stands there in her full Regalia. She didn't really care about being covert anymore. Not that she did before, really.

Running towards Mary, she slides under her at the last second, going between her legs and attempting to pull the panties off.

[Twinwolf]

Yuki was a fair distance from the commotion, walking about alone and getting a feel for the area, when she heard about it. "You're suuure that it's on her panties? I could go and ask her for them..." Then things kicked off. "Hey! Don't start things without me!" she said, and off she was running to the fight.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Karen just looks flabbergasted. Utterly and totally flabbergasted.

She runs off after Faith without a word.
Minato sighs.
"Alright. A fight, then."
He immediately armors up and heads back in.

"Y-Yoake? What are you doing here? W-why were you dressed like Iris?"

Well Mary is confused, considering what's going down, she's probably gonna stay that way for the foreseeable future. Her servants don't seem to really have any consistent idea of how to respond. Vendellin is just, standing there gobsmacked, Evi is, moving forwards to do something, and judging by her expression, she's not entirely sure what she'll be doing either, and Fleur is just fucking filming this all on her phone.

What happens next, does not help.

So firstly, Yoake just fucking powerslides under their employer and manages to get a grip on her undergarments. Said undergarments don't really take kindly to this and just, start trying to become airborne and throw her off. This is, probably confusing enough already, but filtered through the lens of mundane perception, it probably gets a bit weirder.

"Is this, one of those weird Master-Student things? Like, oh I'll show up randomly and beat you until you're strong enough to fend me off?" _(Vendelin)
"Nooo! D-Don't just stand there! Do something!"
"I dunno, you seem to have it well under control if you ask me." _(Fleur)
"Um, is that Masked Knight Gaia?" _(Evi)

And sure enough it is, fucking Masked Knight Gaia charging in heroically to thwart the machinations of evil, what form said machinations are taking here not entirely clear, but boy can he run. And boy is he not liking what he sees, because those are definitely Storm Mind thrusters flaring there, there's at least, half a Storm Mind in that construct? And it's just firing off its thrusters non-stop trying to get Yoake off.

Four rounds impact Mary.

Okay, and it can extend its shielding too, lovely. Well, the impacts, even shielded have stunned Mary, but unfortunately, Mary's not really the problem here. She's more, the thing the target is using to trying and bludgeon Yoake with, which really isn't working out too far now.

The construct begins to accelerate, trying to spin Mary around and around until it can slam Yoake into Minato, and then the window, and then out of the window.

Shef
"Understood."

[spümpkin]

Yoake keeps her grip tight on Mary's panties.

She couldn't be bested, especially now that she was going public in front of everyone!

Grabbing the panties, she leans backwards, her legs pressing against Mary's, attempting to gain some control over the spin the panties are generating, and pulling on them at the same time.

"Right. Need to destroy the panties, can't just incapacitate Mary." Shef stood up from where he'd been lying, and hopped over to closer to the window. He also flipped on the safety on the five-seven and switched it out for his main gun. He then settled down, opened a portal to get a view on the window, then closed it when it appeared that Mary was approaching. Now he could make a portal from the window back into the lounge.

Shef uses a portal to watch the window until it seems like Mary is approaching. He'll then immediately close the portal, and make a new portal from the window to the opposite wall, aimed down. If someone goes through, they'll hit the floor in front of the opposite wall. Use a 5, no hyper.
((Is this okay? It's something that using a 3 hyper would be gokd for, but it's also something he could probably just do generally, right?))

[Chevaleresse]

Noriko transformed as she came onto the scene, trying to keep out of immediate visual range of the spectators as she did so. Not that it would help, but she didn't want to know what would get filled in that blank at this rate. "Uh, you guys might want to get out of here. This is going to be, um. . . Honestly I don't know what the fuck is about to happen, just that it'll be easier with less people in the room. Probably." She sighed, trying to figure out what she should even do.

Alter to 2, just wait for a good chance to try and help restrain Mary.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Think quick, Kumon. Think quick.

Minato looks around. Civilians. They needed to get out of here, now.

Behold, citizens! It is I, Masked Knight Gaia! Please, step out of the room for your own safety! My allies and I are apprehending a very dangerous villain and get out of here!"

Right. Use your reputation to get them out. Okay, that should work. Now onto the real problem.

The pair of supernatural panties swinging around Mary like a deranged flail.

Minato does a few quick mental calculations.

He needed to stop either the Storm Mind or Mary dead in their tracks. He could do that, easily, but who? The Storm Mind was too small a target, and judging from the way Noriko was hanging back, she wasn't going to be too much help for the moment, so her accuracy wasn't going to be available; no tricks using a thrown spear here, then. That left Mary. The best way to stop her would be to cushion the blow onto something; likely himself. Shef had a portal set-up, so at least Minato had a back-up plan should this one fail.

Here goes nothing.
"Yuki, get ready to heal me. Noriko, Shef, if I screw this up, I'm counting on you! Miss Appleton, please relax as much as possible! I'm going to catch you!"

Summon Rho Aias and get between Mary and the civilians. Minato braces himself to soak as much of Mary's momentum as possible, using the shield to take most of the blow.

Yuki will heal Minato when he needs it, as well as granting heals to those present for shielding. She is not yet using the chainsaw to attack because she doesn't want to hurt the one wearing the panties.

Evi glances down at her pager.
"Hmm so Hayate was a fake name? Fleur, you need to tighten security... Fleur!" _(Evi)
"Fleur!" _(Vendellin)
"Hmm yeah... what?" _(Fleur)
"We'll need to review our checks, Mister Gaia Knight here, got in with a false details." _(Evi)
"Are you sure? He could just be a weirdo who signed up under his real name, sure looks like one. No offense." _(Fleur)
"KYAAAAAAAAAH!"

With her legs pressing against Mary's, Yoake manages to straighten out their formation. The target, now more centered and being slowed pulled out place finds itself unable to speed up its spin as much as it used to, spin that it soon loses as Yoake is well, not really slammed, more kinda just smushed against Rho Aias. Yuki, really just drops shielding for everyone, the construct was able to utilize Keijo techniques, but it seems that when not doing that it can't actually do much damage, not that it was particularly deadly to begin with.

"A-also! Iris' pager got stolen, hey um, Yoake, what did you do to Iri- AAAAAAAH!"

The target gets to accelerate again, this time in a straight line, launching the formation like a spear in an attempt to slam or possibly embed Yoake in a wall, or at the very least, dislodge her.

Faith and Karen have entered the combat area!

Karen
A precision unit, able to rapidly strike foes at all typical ranges with her magatama jewel whip. Her sheer ego distorts reality, protecting her from harm proportional to her own arrogance.

• Demon Slaying Technique: Coiling Grip [4]: Karen slices into an opponent with her whip and entangles them, forcing them to escape or be sliced by the spinning magatama within her whip. While trapped, Karen can pull them closer to her to inflict more damage. In the current situation, she can use the technique to simply entangle a target without driving spirit energy through her weapon making the technique deal no damage.

Okay so, here I'mma test out the new ally system. Basically allies will go use their own judgement and act to try and do whatever, but you can give them explicit orders. On any given turn, the Hypers or other techniques they are currently willing to use to assist people will be displayed under their summary, needless to say this will change between turns. Note that these techniques will be paid for by the ally in question, you don't have to spend anything unless otherwise stated.

[Strider03]

While Minato, "Masked knight Gaia" had ordered requested the three domestic servants get out of the way, well, they just. . . hadn't. Whether that was because they were distracted, or because they all consciously decided not to listen didn't matter. "Should have listened." Shef muttered watching through his peephole portal. He then broadcasted over the comms to the rest of the team, "I'm getting rid of the civs."

Assuming no complaints, he'll begin to concentrate, feeling out the space below, and then set about making a portal below the three. They would fall straight down into it, and then find themselves coming out horizontally on a lower floor. Hopefully this would prevent any sprained ankles or anything, and just some general confusion as they found themselves sliding horizontally out onto ground one story lower.

Shef takes his time to create a portal that will take the three servants to a lower floor, preferably as safely as possible.

Noriko sighed. The screaming. . . honestly wasn't fazing her, for whatever reason. The thing was moving in a straight line, so this should be easy enough.

"Alright, I'm taking care of this now." She took a wider stance, placed her hands together with her arms stretched out in front of herself, and invoked a single tone. "Vayvayastra!"

The air around her abruptly slammed itself together, with tangible vacuum force tugging at the others in the room, before speeding right up Mary's skirt.

Use Vayvayastra [6] to slash the panties to bits without harming Mary. Alter to 6.

Hold position with Rho Aias, circling them to find a way around.
