Day 4 | ~ Aliens ~

Is anyone having any luck fighting off the statues and... green animals?

Nothing I've tried works -- Keyblade, magic... Nothing.

Verita asked us to help protect the town. Maybe I don't know why or how we got here, but... It's still home to the townspeople. There has to be something we can do.

But even that explosion didn't do anything... [Oh, yes, Xion saw that on the CAT. She just... decided... not to say anything about it.] What are we going to do?

Defensive responses have been functional so far. If we can't eliminate them, we'll have to contain them. A lesson in not callously blowing things up, I'm sure.

[honestly, he wants to put the omnipotence paradox to test by throwing a topiary chihuahua at a stone Kirin, but he'll try to be helpful instead]

Contain them...

Would it be possible to lure them someplace, maybe?

[collector]

I don't see why not. A fair few of them seem intent on pursuing those of us left here.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

So we have to set some kind of trap...

But if we can't hurt them, how do we...

[collector]

I'd suggest starting by establishing what we can use to contain them. From that, we can decide where the best place to contain them is, and then we can figure how to get them there. I suspect Ms Hatter may be able to help in that last area. Do you've any magic that could form permanent barriers?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion shakes her head.] No. I just have elemental magic.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I like the sound of this.

Maybe we can use landscape to our advantage? Perhaps drive them into the lake and see if they get stuck? Or if Xion has Ice magic, he could freeze them in there.

I think staying away from them is the best idea for now. Typically, these...problems...only last a week, so we might not need to do anything more than that.

Unless you have any ideas to get rid of them? [she's loath to admit that her attempts to reproduce her impressive weedkiller have failed so far]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

But who knows what kind of damage can be done in a week. These are people's homes. I can't just sit here and do nothing.

Mr. Braxiatel and Fuu think we can... lure them into a place where we can contain them. We're trying to figure out how to make it all work.

[fortune_sought]

No... [frowns, thinking of her own home and how she would feel if such a thing were to happen there] You're right; trapping them would be a more useful solution. Do you have a place in mind?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Fuu thinks we should try to sink the statues in the lake, but we can't figure out what to do with the grass animals.

[fortune_sought]

[ooc: I don't know how I lost this notif. Sorry!]

Well, then why don't we do that and deal with the grass animals afterwards? After all, the statues are certainly more dangerous.

'sall good XD

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Okay. Fuu suggested that, too. We'll take care of the statues first, and figure out what to do with the animals after.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Okay. I think the plan is to lure the statues into the lake, like we said... and then lure the grass animals into the greenhouse. Mr. Braxiatel said he can set up a... force field to trap them there.

[blankalias.livejournal.com]

No luck here, but I think 's best if ya try your best ta avoid 'em. These things seem indestructible far as 'm concerned.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Verita asked us to help protect the town. There has to be something we... There has to be something I can do.

[blankalias.livejournal.com]

'I'? D'ya intend ta carry all the burden yourself, Xion?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

If I have to. [She just didn't want to speak for other people. She was speaking for herself -- She honestly cannot just stand by and do nothing when other people's homes are in jeopardy. She just can't.]

[blankalias.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one fighting 'em, yanno.

Right now, we can try ta lure the plants and those statues away from the houses and restaurants so that way.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's what Mr. Braxiatel and Fuu said, too. But we need to figure out some way to contain them.

Do you think the statues will sink in the lake?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Depends. What have we got in terms of assets? I've got a -- hang on a mo', did you say magic? [he's a bit skeptical]

always about the assets with you, Nine

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, I did.

assets are important!

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

What sort of "magic?"

like Jack's assets? :> -- *maimed*

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

... elemental magic?

exactly >_>

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[surprised] You can control the elements? Fantastic, how does it work?
