[B.B. had contemplated leaving momentarily around midnight, and she was thrilled to stay once more officers started filing in. Something was wrong. It was a trap!

Perfect.

Once the chaos started, Bonnie tearfully tried to get through the crowd before one of the officers from before spotted her. Her angle: scared and defenseless. Once one got a look at her, claiming that it wasn't safe for a girl like her to be here, he grabbed her arm.]


You're right. Someone might get hurt! [Gripping onto his arm with her's, she pulls him down into a headbutt, immediately nicking his saber and slicing into his stomach. Truthfully, she didn't care at all if he survived, but if he died, that'd only make her job easier.

From her dress, she pulled a few apple grenades out, biting down on the pins and tossing them directly at the Navy.

Time to go to work.]

[Obviously, Ragna couldn't bring his sword to the ball due to its size, so he's down to his own fists; that doesn't make him any less dangerous, and the Navy officers are quickly finding out why. The downside of not having his trusty Blood-Scythe on him is that for most part, his range is rather limited, save for the times he chooses to use his Azure Grimoire, though he's prefer not to, seeing as someone other than the soldiers could get caught up in the blast.

Sadly it would appear some people do not share his worries.

The Grim Reaper doesn't even notice the grenade that's been tossed into the group of officers he's been fighting until it, well, explodes. The blast throws him back, but he's back on his legs in a split of second, looking for the source of the attack. And, soon enough, he manages to locate a... girl? Whatever, it's not like her age or gender will save her from his anger.]


ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR GODDAMN MIND?! LOOK WHERE YOU'RE AIMING, IDIOT!

[Unfortunately, some casualties from the home team were expected. B.B. figured that hey, they'd understand. It was a close space and in the excitement with all of the bodies everywhere, it was hard to keep track of who was friend or foe. Especially if she's never seen them before!

Regardless, it was surprising to hear someone yelling back at her. Must be a pirate since they're hesitating to attack her back now that her identity's been exposed. Which prompts her response, in a tone that's not nearly as pleasant as it usually is.]


I'm sorry, did you forget we're in a battle?! It's your own fault, asshole!
rebellions: (your face is rude)

[personal profile] rebellions 2014-04-30 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[If asked, Ragna would argue that no, he's not a goddamn pirate; even six months in this world haven't been able to convince him otherwise.]

My fault?!

[What a bitch. Of course it wasn't his fault! ... Okay, so maybe he hit a few fellow troublemakers with his own attacks, but they probably deserved it. Somehow. The Grim Reaper scowls and moves closer to the girl, not bothered by the chaos around him. The way he sees it, she might be asking for a beating, too.]

You wanna pick a fight, brat?

[... Never mind they're already in a middle of one.]

[Her demeanor suggests that she is, as she doesn't break eye contact with Ragna for a second, aside from the occasional slash at an officer. But, she sighs and shakes her head. No, of course, they have more important things to worry about.]

Now now, there's no reason for us to fight amongst ourselves. We have a bigger enemy to take care of right now, don't we?

[A completely innocent smile crosses her face, as the hunter cups one of her cheeks.]

And you wouldn't dare strike a pretty face like this, would you?

[Fuu had been lucky that she could bring a part of her armour that made summoning her sword possible. So with it now in her grasp she was ready to take on anything, even if she was in a ridiculously long skirt for this. It made it harder but she kbnew she would at least try.

Kicking one guard, she swung her sword at another, hurting him but thankfully not enough to kill him. She wanted them alive, especially if they could give her any kind of information she asked for. Walking over to the one she slashed she looked around, spotting the girl.]


Keep them alive if you can, please?

[It's the complete opposite of what Bonnie cares about, sadly. Knowing how most enemies worked, they were a little less willing to cooperate unless they've been captured. She's not looking to kill everyone, but anyone that stopped breathing during the skirmish?

Well, that's just how it was. They were too weak to work fighting pirates if they'd die that easily. Hearing someone speak to her, her foot on an officer's throat, she shrugged her shoulders.]


Oh, I can't promise that. If they get in my way, they're practically begging me to kill them!

[She gave a small sigh, using a wind spell to stop a good number of navy officers in their tracks. For now at least they weren't going to hurt them and that was a good thing.]

Then maybe I can be of assistance then, so then they won't be.

[A little irked at the offer, Bonnie replied huffily, taking the time to wipe off her saber with a bit of an officer's uniform.]

You can do whatever you want. Do you think they'll take care to not kill you?

[personal profile] windofthephoenixtemple 2014-05-05 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[It seems she just wasn't going to get through to her. She wanted to do her own thing, which she didn't think was the best idea and she couldn't stop her. Instead she just nodded and used her winds of binding spell to capture a couple more.]

No, but it still doesn't mean we don't show them some compassion.

[personal profile] hoodwinking 2014-05-08 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[She's trying her hardest to slash at them, but Fuu's making it rather difficult! Plus, she's still not sold on this whole "compassion" deal anyway.]

Do you mean weakness? Because that's all they'll see it as.
windofthephoenixtemple: (pic#7551939)

[personal profile] windofthephoenixtemple 2014-05-08 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Compassion doesn't mean weakness because if they do then try and back stab you you'll be free to do as you wish, but in this case compassion would be to knock them out and leave them, or disable them in someway

[With her really long sword in hand she slashes at someone ankles, making them fall over.]

Ah, then we both have two different ideas of compassion. I'd rather just get rid of them now, before they meet an even worse fate.

[If they were to backstab the pirates that showed her skewed form of "compassion", then Bonnie'd be sure to pay them back tenfold.]

If they survive however, good on them! That just means they're strong.

[She knew by now there is too much of a different between them and so didn't say any more, instead using the time to defend and attack while she tried to searching for a way out.]

You going to try and find the exit. I would figure that would be the best course of action.

Already? But-- [as she speaks, a bullet whizzes past her face, giving her a bit of a nasty cut. Which she immediately responds by turning around and literally throwing the saber at the man who fired the rifle, a darker look on her face.

Geh, they really weren't letting up. She immediately dashed towards the man, kicking the body out of the way after prying the rifle out of his hands.]


Fine, let's get out of here. It's getting crowded.

[personal profile] windofthephoenixtemple 2014-05-14 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fuu was shocked at just what she saw, but she knew right now she shouldn't let it get to her. No, she had to keep going this time. With a nod she had staretd to make her way, deflecting sword attacked when she could, using her magic when it was needed and making sure that she tried her hardest to not get hurt.

But that wasn't easy. Every now and again she would miss someone and end up with a cut or two on her body, but she pressed on before turning a corner.]


The numbers do seem larger than before. I'm not sure if we could ever get out the way we came in.
