Agnese twiddled her thumbs, feeling slightly forgotten. She did feel glad that she'd healed Lefty, and she hoped she saw him again under different circumstances, but she was also getting worried about the war happening on the otherside of the door.

The battle wore on for quite some time. Every once in a while, one or two vampires would show up, missing limbs. One came up headless - he was lost for good. A group of seven or eight showed up all at once one time, mostly with burns - they all turned out fine, and news from them was that they were now over mainland China, with the angels projecting an invisibility field around them.
After about half an hour, the Duchess entered. "The Duke is going to lead the angels astray. We're grabbing Takeshi and jumping." She tossed Agnese a parachute.

"Jump?" Agnese asked shakily as she looked between the vampress and the parcel in her arms. "Like, out the airplane and over the solid hard unforgiving ground that would love nothing more than to make and Aggy Pancake?"
She was not a big fan of heights.

Joe nodded. All right then. I thank you for your help. Will I be able to contact you in the future?

Probably? the Djinn replied uncertainly.

Joe shrugged. Eh. I'll take what I get. Thanks for the continued support.
He continued to drive. Along the way, he began to debrief Jacob on everything he knew about magic.
It was a long drive.

In the enclosed space, there was no way the vampire could dodge. Vlad, who was in the back, let off a few bursts of automatic fireflak ammo directly behind him. Fyrin crawled forward faster.
((What, is Joe going to come give me a hand out?
Also, what IS this game?))

Vlad realized partway through his attempt, there wasn't even enough room for him to turn around - not even enough arm room for him to rotate the gun.

Hm.
Okay, better idea.
Fyrin detonated the vent behind Vlad, using Vlad as a backstop for the explosion and thus propelling them further into the vent and the vampire violently out.

The metal of the vent tore open, dumping the flaming vampire to the ground. He threw his shirt to the ground and yelled "The vents! They're in the vents!"

((Dude, you know if I came to help it would be over in a snap.
And Alteil is an online card game from Japan. It's freaking epic.))

((Don't be so sure, Joe. A locked-down vampire complex?
Remember how hard Gertrude would've kicked your a** one-on-one?))

Ah, crap. Fyrin had thought he'd directed it better. To silence the vampire he detonated as close to the thing's head as he could and then took off the vents as quickly as he could. His men would have to serve as reluctant distractions. At the first opportunity, they split up, heading off in different directions. Fyrin was by far the fastest of them; he used hands and feet to support himself centimeters above the surface and tirelessly walked along the walls, crawling like some sort of lizard. His men, on the other hand, were either moving like he was but slower, or crawling along their stomachs.
((You know, I think I deserve some credit in that we haven't taken substantial injury. Well, other than Steven.))

The vampire voiced his dissatisfaction with Fyrin's chosen action:
"UHGgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
It was the best the vampire could manage with his whole lower jaw gone.
((SirBayer, Fyrin and his men are still in the vents. Only the vampire fell out.))
