Quote: Hostile Garlands (9) : Festive garland has been hung all around the city. Destiny City has never skimped on their decor, and this year is no different. What is different is the way some of the garland seems to slither around the poles and arches it's hung on. Maybe it looks like an optical illusion at first, or maybe it’s just so strange that it doesn’t seem like it can be real, but it doesn’t take long to figure out that that’s not any ordinary garland–it has eyes, and teeth, and it’s the strangest looking snake you’ve ever seen but that doesn’t really matter when it’s attacking you. It is fast, and aggressive, and it blends in perfectly. Sometimes it seems like it’s five feet long, sometimes twenty; it doesn’t seem to have any venom, but its fangs are long and if it wraps around you it can be very constricting. There’s no telling what it wants, but it sure does seem to like to fight. Note: The snake is not a youma but can be used as a battle requirement for a character. It can only be used as a battle if there are two powered characters involved; you cannot write a solo and count this as a battle, and your character must be powered to count this for a battle. If you repeat the prompt with the same character, only one will count for a battle requirement. The snake will always disappear before it can be caught.
It was one of those types of cool nights right now that he and Kiuchi were roof hopping after having gathered energy for their faction, heading back to the apartment where Panacea fully planned on finishing up getting the Mongolian beef he had cooking away in the slow cooker ready as well as the side dishes he had planned so that he could make sure his boyfriends had a nice warm meal. The younger man had just opened his mouth to ask Kiuchi if he had any dessert preferences when movement caught his attention out of the corner of his eye.
"Did you see that?" He asked instead, bringing himself to a full stop and looking in the direction he thought he saw the movement in. Nothing came up on his senses as anything powered yet and all he could see on the edge of the roof was some winter decorations including a pretty long garland,

"Nooo." Dragging the word out, slowly, the older of the two moved to the others side and peered down at what Panacea was pointing to. "We could go down to street level and check it out. I don't sense anything." And he was sure he'd pick up on something if there was anything to sense. If there was movement down below it had to be something non-powered though that didn't mean it was safe.
"Just keep your focus." This was Destiny City and it was winter after all, things were never safe this time of year.
Already he was moving to jump down off the roof top, and turn around so he could catch the smaller dark mirror senshi. "Come on." he called up to the other. Unlike Panacea who was nice and warm...Kiuchi wasn't nearly as warm, his uniform left too much skin visible. "Let's see what's going on." And maybe protect some civilians by handling whatever it was before it harmed anyone. Or so he was hoping.

He glanced over at Kiuchi when the taller man responded and gave a nod. "Good idea. It might have been nothing since neither one of us are picking anything up but knowing this city during the holiday seasons? There might be something." Keeping his focus wasn't as easy as the other Senshi said seeing how Panacea got a little distracted for a moment watching him jump down gracefully but he reigned it back in with a smile. He made a mental note to cuddle with Kiuchi while they ate to help warm him up when they were back, something that was certainly not a hardship.
"Alright." He agreed and put one foot to the edge of the roof top in preparations to jump. While he technically didn't need Kiuchi to catch him, it was a nice gesture and he appreciated it. It gave him a ready excuse to hug the other Senshi after all. However before he could actually jump off there was a sudden movement and he was yanked back farther onto the rooftop with a yelp of surprise by up until that moment had just seemed like a holiday decoration.

Shocked when Panacea dissappeared further back, out of sight, he rushed to the alleyway at the side of the building where he was certain stairs were. The stairs were pulled up, so he couldn't get up as easily. Jumping to grasp the stgairs and pull them down he rushed up as fast as he could, stumbling over his feet as he did so. He knew his shin would be ruised later, he'd smacked it pretty damn good. But he did make ti to the roof top.
"Panacea!" How odd it was to shout that name and not Kai, but it was safer to use his senshi name.
What was that around him....garland? Ok, that was strange but considering it was winterhe figured it fit well enough.
Rushing for his partner and pulling at the garland, even going so far as to bite at it, the senshi of gorgon's was ready to free the other. "Run as soon as it lets you go enough to escape." Than they could handle it together.

He could honestly say he was not expecting to be attacked by a holiday decoration tonight but After a moment of shock after hitting the ground he was already pulling at it to remove it from his leg. It certainly wasn't as easy as planned however since he kept having to focus on keeping the head with very sharp teeth from latching on, leaving it's tail to coil around him more.
By the time Kiuchi made his way up to the roof again, Panacea was letting out a string of curses in Chinese but he had managed to keep it only to one leg instead of both like it clearly had planned by pulling and clawing it's at it's coils whenever he had a moment to. "Will do." He grunted out in response as they continued to get the snake creature away. When it suddenly lunged it's fangs at Kiuchi however to return the bite he had given it Panacea growled out his magic, unwilling to let it hurt the other Senshi. "Māo yòu de yá!" The magic did it's job and distracted the garland snake from it's attack as well as forced it to let go and back off a bit finally. Panacea scrambled to his feet, keeping his eyes on the pissed off creature.Quote: Sailor Scout Attack: Māo yòu de yá ~ Fang of the Mongoose Range: Close range, must touch the target to get the effect Effect: Until the spell finishes, whenever Panacea manages to make a physical attack and/or touch it has the added effect of making the target feel as if they had been bitten by a mongoose. It leaves little red marks where the effect happens but they fade within 20 seconds of receiving it. How bad the feelings of being bitten are dependent on target level and player discretion. Duration: The spell lasts for 20 seconds and can be used a total of three times.

As his partner was able to free himself, magic really was a useful thing, Kiuchi went to grab him and yank him further away. "Don't let that thing get near you." it didn't feel like a youma so whatever it was; he didn't know.
"One of these days we should go on vacatiojn, to get away from this city." It was entierly too dangerous, in his opinion. Since he'd started dating and his half sister had moved here he'd wanted to bubble wrap them all and flee the city. It would keep his loved ones safe. But they couldn't stay away, and he knew that, they had a duty to help the city and their own court and he wasn't about to leave the dark mirror - they were family.
"We should let the court know as soon as we get home." He'd let his sister know, of course, and than call Acubens so she could get the word out amongst the rest of the court. He didn't know if everyone knew yet about this latest winder wonderland nightmare.
"Can we even destroy this thing?" He really wasn't sure but he was looking around for an idea, anyhthing. HIs magic might make it sick, or something, but it wasn't going to remove this garland like he wanted to. "Did we pass any fire at all?" He questioned. He knew the winter shopping village the cityh had going had fire, for roating nuts and keeping hands warm. People seemed to flock to it really. But that was how far away....
