Quote: Prompt 2 (Snow Spike): Ice and snow? Fine. Hail? Slightly less fine. Large, icicle-like shards of ice falling from the sky? Horrifying. For no apparent reason, Destiny City is plagued with another strange phenomenon, only this one can strike at any time. The icicles plummet from the sky with no warning, regardless of a clear or cloudy sky. The spikes range in size from a few inches up to two feet. Sometimes only one might fall, or sometimes a torrent of them, but they never fall far longer than a minute at a time. Some have reported a strange green lightning in the sky just before the icicles fall, so there seems to be at least some warning. Injuries and damage have been reported across the city, so it’s best to stay vigilant and hope for the best.
It was a risk, he knew, going out when this new development with the weather had started but he still had a quota to make. He knew he could say ******** it, and he was tempted to, but he wouldn't mind seeing a knight, or senshi, impaled by a spike of ice either...and he was hoping he'd get such a reward for coming out tonight.
They'd already said earlier on the news, he'd been keeping an eye on the news today while he'd been working, that each time the sky rained ice spikes the sky seemed to turn green right before hand. One person on the news, some female, had said it was similar to the aurora even. So he was planning to keep checking up on the sky as he went about energy gathering tonight. If he saw green he was finding a place to hide.

It was cold. And there were supposedly magical ice spikes falling from the sky. And both of those things should have been enough to keep Asuka at home, wrapped in her blanket, sipping a mug of hot cocoa and editing next week's YouTube release.
The problem was, editing was tedious as hell, and years of experience did not make it less tedious.
So, she'd given all that a miss and powered up, hoping to catch a little bit fo energy, and keeping her eyes on the sky. No getting impaled by an ice spike for her, no siree.
She spotted the Corrupt from a bit away, and gave a wave as she jumped off the rooftop she'd been walking on.
"Hi!" She said, brightly. "Weirdly nice night, considering all the wacky weather, huh?"Sleet Tempest Snape i am so sorry i dropped the ball on this!!

He'd felt the energy signature before he'd heard the voice, before he'd seen the person, it was a senshi who served chaos but not a corrupt like himselof. He'd not yet dealt with a dark mirror senshi so this was abit new for him, but not a bad thing. Reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind his pointed ear, taking the time to look over her uniform, he shook his head. "You should be covered up more, you'll get too cold." He stated, thinking of how little her uniform did to keep her warm. His own wasn't great but at least he didn't have any bare skin showing.
"It is nice, so far, but this winter seems to be unpredictable - don't jinx things." He stated with a tilt of his head as he approached her slowly, casually. If he had pockets he'd have stuck his hands into them by now. "What brings you out on a cold night like this?" Miyamoto questions, did she have a quota for energy as well? He was certain he'd heard that they gathered energy as well.
Noir Songbird It's ok Song, so long as you remembered.

Asuka shrugged, and smiled a little wryly. "Oh, it's not too bad," she said. "Keeps me warm enough! And I think there's some magic stuff on top of the uniform, anyway." Though, truth be told, she could probably stand to wear a jacket, or some leggings, or something.
"Gosh, the whole ice spike thing...sounds pretty scary, huh? But I haven't seen anything." She shrugged. Anyway, it was go out and drain energy or edit my next YouTube video, and I really don't like editing." She sighed heavily. "It's just so tedious, you know? Takes forever, really boring, and I have to watch myself talking, which is so embarrassing, ugh."

"There might be." Since he'd seen so many in uniforms that lacked so much, and left a lot of skin bare, and none seemed all that cold. He did tend to bundle up though, just incase, and it helped hide his uniform when civilians might see him. The only thing elft, when he was bundled up, which would give him away was the super long hair and the frost about his feet.
Tonight he didn't have a coat on though, much as he wished he did, but he wasn't too cold.
"You do videos...about what?" Not sure he wanted to know but she didn't serve order so he could talk to her, he wasn't one to talk with order unless it was while he tried to kill them. This was another who served chaos so it was ok, she at least was on the right side of things. "We should walk and talk, collect energy." And do their duties to their factions, since he was certain she was out to get energy and he needed to.
"The ice spikes sound dangerous and yet also pleasing...I wouldn't mind seeing someone impaled on one...a kngiht or a senshi." Why hide what he thought of all this winter madness, even if he didn't like it one bit. It held some promise but he didn't like that something was doing this and neither faction was tied to it. Something else out there had power and was doing things...it didn't sit well with him.

Asuka perked up. Being asked about her videos was always sort of fun, and she sure did love to talk about her job.
"Oh, all sorts of stuff!" She said, brightly. "Mostly horror stories and urban legends and stuff like that. It's super fun, and most of the people doing those types of channels are guys, so there's a lot of folks who just like hearing a woman telling ghost stories, you know? It's a super good time, I love it. But like. Editing. The worst. Bah." She stuck out her tongue, maturely.
As an acquiescence to his request, she fell in beside him to walk and talk, but there was a moment of hesitation when he so casually mentioned seeing someone impaled on an ice spike.
Oh, this guy was....a little cracked, actually.
"Aha, yeah, I guess," she said, "as long as it's not one of our people, right? Yours or mine."
Or anyone, really. The thought of seeing some poor person impaled....it made Asuka a little ill.

"I wouldn't know about editing but it sounds interesting." Ghost stories and urban legends and the like; that was certainly interesting. It was something he wouldn't mind hearing about in all honesty, not that he would say that aloud. "Does it do well money wise? I imagine it would, as you said most who do those sorts of videos are men. Perhaps some asmr would make money as well. I've heard some people pay well on that sort of thing." He had a customer once who did those sorts of things, she streamed it and did videos on youtube. She apparently made good money doing such videos.
"Of course no one from either of our sides, that would do us no good." He'd like to see a senshi or a knight impaled, and he would admit he had a violent stream when it came to order. It was their fault though, which he'd also tell anyone who asked, if they hadn't brought him into this war he wouldn't have turned on them as he did.
"The urban legands, are they only local ones that you do or no?"
Noir Songbird Just a little cracked...not like a Malkavian...but kinda tip toeing there.

"Making the video is interesting," Reiko said. "Editing is a circle of Hell." She shrugged. "For me, at least, it's the hardest part of the process. But it's important to make sure the whole thing comes together in as polished a way as possible, so, you know. Anyway! It does pretty decently, keeps me comfortable."
Sure, it was a full time job, but it paid, and she was doing her best at it.
"Ah," she exhaled, "anyway, I mostly do local stuff, it's more interesting, and Destiny City's got so many wild stories. I mean, some of them get less wild when you know about amgic stuff, but I can still sell all those mysterious deaths, even if I know exactly how they happened."
She did not want to think about impaled people anymore, thank you, please.Sleet Tempest Snape lmfao, bless. only a little off.

"Mmm, I'm sure it's an easy sell and the stories don't ever seem to end." Much as he disliked the out of control magic around the holidays. seeing as neither order nor chaos was behind it. He didn't like the idea of a third party involved in things, especially when he didn't know it's mind or if it even had a consious. It wasn't something he liked the idea of in the slightest bit.
"I'm sure people love what happens here, especially if you add in that you live right in the city." It would add something to her videos, and he doubted others doing similar content could say the same. He doubted others even covered what happened in this city.
"I wonder how your videos get out there, about what's happening here, and no one from outside the city has come to try and handle the situation here. Any sort of authority."
Glancing over her for a moment, while they walked, he couldn't help but ask. "So what are you senshi of? Clearly something Asian I'm thinking."
Noir Songbird Also kinda violent like a Brujah...but doesn't give a s**t enough to do something like protest or rebel. Just hurt and kill. >.> Brujah+Malkavian=Miyamoto?).

Asuka nodded. "Exactly. People take an interest because I get to bring a personal perspective, since I live here and I know a lot." Well, as much as it was possible for any one person, even a magical person, to know.
"A lot of people think it's all made up," Asuka said, "and I'm certainly not out there spilling the details of being a magical girl. So it just gets dismissed as more urban legend ghost story stuff." She shrugged. "I don't mind. I've got my audience and it pays the bills. I don't need people to believe me, or take me seriously, or anything. That's not what it's about."
But he asked about her sphere, and she grinned.
"Senshi of the Onryo! You know, Sadako, Kayako, Oiwa-san." She paused. Pondered his uniform. "What about you?"

He still found it odd that this, everything happening in this city, wasn't reported on outside of here and didn't make the news elsewhere. There was no government agency involved or anything else. It just seemed to vanish once it got out of the city limits somehow. No doubt some sort of magic was at play, and he doubted it was senshi or chaos based either.
"So spirits...." He said in answer to her telling him her sphere. "Tsurara-onna is my sphere." He wasn't sure if she actually knew Japanese, he was going to assume so for the moment, when he told her his own sphere. His magic was...interesting in how it fit to the theme but he didn't think there was much else which could be taken fromt he idea and used as some sort of magical attack. A shame he couldn't just stab someone with a giant icicle and that be his magic.
"Well, more like hatred spirits for you...or wraithful." Either way worked well enough, he still knew what it was. "It fits the uniform." Nodding his head as he spoke. It certainly did fit and he rather liked it, though it did look cold.
Noir Songbird Can't help it, it's kinda true.

"Oooh, interesting!" Asuka nodded along. "Perhaps we were fated to meet, then, two ghosts drifting through a cold and lonely night." She laughed, a little. It seemed like a fanciful thing to suggest, but on the other hand, they lived in a world of magic and monsters, so...perhaps not so much.
"Knowing yours, your uniform fits too." Asuka glanced around, briefly. "Anyway, it's been really nice chatting with you! But I actually probably sohuld head home--not too many people out tonight, and I'd hate to compete with you for draining, you know?"

"Two ghosts indeed." He figured he could claim it, in a way sense, since he'd given up his name and his family and his history - he'd given up himself. he was remake himself and the old him was dead...so he was something of a ghost. he didn't say that, why bother? But he did think it.
"Might want to hurry." He said nodding to the sky which was starting to look green - a green light.
"Those ice shards look lim,e they'll be coming soon." Since the news did say bright green light in the sky and than the pillars of ice would come plummeting towards the ground.
"Move." He shouted while turning to run as well. "Get home safe; my fellow ghost."
