Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the captain shifted to knees, telegraphing a much more classic response to a uneven hold, the General braced and vanished from sight. It relinquished the hold on the tail, freeing the captain. Whatever focus Cinnabar had marshaled to try to energy drain was hers to keep, even if the target to drain was gone.

Or seemingly gone, at least for a few seconds, before landing from high up in the air with a scatter of gravel a few feet away. "Good Job. Warm up complete. Now to find meat that you can actual tear into. Some small senshi or page would do? "

Schörl caught the energy ball, but tucked it away, hand moving instead to ascot to remove the starseed there. It was broken between teeth neatly, the rush mastered and contained to controlled breathing. At last, the captain's elbow was taken, even if attention was still paid to the auric energies in search of a victim. "Some must fall and some must fly, so holding hands in this dance we'll touch all the sky, and hell, and all the places in between. Pain is just another thirst to drink in that, another kind of rain. No, we'll have no use of what is easy."

"If we wanted that, it surrounds us in sleeping plenty. Let's eat the sleepers. There is one...south." Schörl motioned with a quick rise of chin. "A star, even, to pull down by name. Stretch your paws; We hunt."

It was no matter that the senshi was out of Cinnabar's sense range, they were within the General's. And with their relative speeds, they could pincer the poor sot if they thought to run. With a disappearance and reappearance rooves and rooves away at the edge of previous sight, the senshi's presence was plain.

Schörl marked the time mentally with a fast glance at the timepiece. After that it was action, taking to the open side rapidly. The trick of hunting the meekest pray is confirming them in sight before they have a chance to dark down a rabbit hole or to drop their uniform. If they think that far ahead in their self preservation.

This one, thankfully, hadn't. Little white bodice shone in the dim, darting out from the shadows of awnings and looking wild around themselves to try to confirm the signatures on top of them. They were one of the lucky ones who ended up in shorts rather than skirts. Pale greys and lime dominated their stars and bows. No wings, but they were a senshi without doubt. The general chose a quick path that lead down and near and visible. Drive you neatly into waiting jaws.

The senshi made a noise, it wasn't words, just a yalp of distress as they skidded and scrambled against momentum to reverse from the sudden General in view. Words finally escaped the poor sot, "Get away!"

Ha, do you mean me, themselves? The captain you feel feel but don't yet see? Don't worry, you'll find everything in the dark. Try to 'go to tree', and see what good it does you. The senshi started a jump path back up, right along the awning and windowsils up to the rooves Cinnabar was already shooting along.

Schörl followed up up the building with considerably less effort expended, then outright laughed as the senshi was blasted, toppling over and over with openings of red and a growling fury to contend with. The general checked timepiece again, walking with gait casual enough to belie the rest of the rooftop violence.

"If you make it three minutes, you might have something worth more while than the battlefield, luv." There was more telltale shouting from the senshi. Probably summoning their magic to bear on Cinnabar, which was still useful to see if the effects of the consumption were interrupted on taking a hit by enemy magic.

For all intents and purposes, the senshi did start a run for it. They'd plainly had some sort of exposure to wildlife facts as either a child, or volunteer work at a zoo, because they zigzagged on pivots rather than a straight away like they were trying to avoid a crocodile.

A good ploy, considering. It would help even the odds even a fraction against someone higher ranked, to force a pursuer to have to keep guessing when the pivot came and then reacting to that. A normal pursuer, and not the tailed wonder we have here. Schörl had more than one rank on the prey, though, and easily shifted around or jumped to hem in a 2x2 perimeter of rooves. Each time the senshi balked and turned, scrabbling for another direction than one that came in contact with a general before and a captain behind. Play can be play, but a free-for-all of letting this morsel roam is no good. It's too easy to let them get into a building, and then if they power down its too easy to lose them. We're not losing this one at the end.

"Taking a hit doesn't effect you Sinner, what about giving them? Blows thrown or simple time." Schörl called over.

The General made the paces between their locations while answering, "Ten minutes. More than most fights last by far, considering. A round in the UFC is only five. Even this one didn't really last three. "

The subsequent once over confirmed some things in muscle fatigue. "The important part will be making sure you have a partner or partners that can get you off the field. Speaking of, we should do so with you. But you should do something about your bauble first. Unless you're going to stay in Dark Kingdom space instead of the Rift Space. You're in no condition for growling matches with other youma interested in snacky morsels. "

"Can you walk? Teleport?...Curious as much how long the afterburn lasts. Anyone could have their way with you." The last was drawn out on a smile.

Rather than just taking the starseed, the general took the captain's hole hand. The starseed sat cradled between, safety relative given its ultimate storage and fate. "Rest first, and cleanliness. Then the rest can be seen to. There's no reason to live like you're camping. You're an officer. "

There's a panache to that which should be observed at least minimally. Hierarchy has more to do than with raw internal power. I can help with that. The time for couches picked up off the sidewalk is passed. Efficiency is not required to be consignment. "Decoration and living supply."

And with that, they vanished away to Dark Kingdom space.
