Equivalent Exchange--Episode 1: Shattered Love

[unleashed]

*Following Al into the house, Rose stays just behind him as they look for the source of the light.*

“Outsiders aren’t welcome? Really? Why is that?” Rose asks, taking a step back unconsciously as the woman approaches.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al, shocked at the sudden appearance of this beautiful woman does not manage to say anything until Rose speaks. He realizes just how threatening her words seem and regards her cautiously as he waits for her to reply.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Instead of answering Rose, she regards Alphonse from the better lighting.*

"You!" she nearly growls, and she claps her hands together.

*Suddenly her arms transform into long twisted thorny tentacle-tendrils bedecked with strange glowing blue flowers, and the tendrils snake forward through the distance towards Alphonse, who manages to duck away from the brunt of the attack and only take a minor injury to the arm.*

(OOC: Alphonse has 1 Injury. Alphonse and Rose can go )

[sblock]OMG, Majihal somehow had his soul transmuted into one of his dolls when he died! GAH! [/sblock]

Al jumps to the side, and grunts in pain as the strange attack clips him in the arm. Though the woman is clearly hostile he does has no reason why and does not want to cause her harm if he can help it. "Wait," he shouts, "we just came in here because the door was open and no one answered! Wha- we're not trying to steal anything!" He doesn't want to take any action that might be viewed as aggressive; still he keeps on his toes, ready to dodge again if the woman continues her bizarre rampage.

(OOC: Alright--staying on the defensive. I'll wait for Rose and then we'll continue )

“Leave Al alone,” Rose cries. Dropping to one knee, she quickly draws a transmutation circle and slaps her hand down on it, as she tries to use the floor to create a wall between Al and the woman.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The floor heaves up between the two, forming a wall that cuts the room into two and slams the vine whips against the ceiling. There is some sound from the other side, but the woman seems to be thwarted for the moment at least. There is no continuing though with that wall up.*

(OOC: I presume you wanted to block the entire room, since otherwise she could easily go around it with her reach)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: Yep, that'll do nicely.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Sure thing--Al and Rose can both do something now if they like)

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al exhales wearily as he looks over to Rose with a grateful smile "Thanks Rose, are you alright?". He listens for a moment to the noises behind the wall before calling out. "Uh, I'm sorry we startled you, we just noticed that your door here was open, but no one answered when I called out. a-Are you alright?"

If the woman seems to have calmed down, and is no longer hostile Al will transmute the floor back to normal if there is no response from her he will do the sam to make sure she is not injured.
