Quote: Pinecone Projectile (10) : A strange anomaly has befallen Destiny City. Ordinarily, a falling pine cone would hardly be worth noticing; there are plenty of them littering the city on a daily basis. However, recently some of these pine cones are causing a bit of noise. Scientists are blaming some bacteria in the trees natural sap as being responsible, but some pine cones are falling to the ground and making loud crackling, popping sounds–or worse, exploding upon contact. As if the sound of small explosives aren’t enough, some reports even claim to have witnessed sparks and small fires. You’d better be careful when walking around any areas with trees–and definitely don’t start throwing these just to see what happens!

Thebe had not been a senshi for very long and she wasn't sure this being a senshi thing was a very good idea, it was a lot of work and she was a girl who liked her naps. Her sphere was pretty much perfect for her, she liked taking things slow, these woods with supposed popping pinecones was likely the worst place for her to be considering she didn't like noise. Regardless she was here and she figured she fight as well check out the weird pinecones. She sighed she would rather be at home, not out here in the cold looking for strange pinecones.

Staurolite, with his newly found penchant for climbing trees, happened upon the pinecones by pure luck, and oh…was he having fun. So far he’d only managed to target civilians because…well…that was who was passing by, but when he sensed an oncoming Order aura he tucked up a bit higher into the tree and peered down, curious who his new target was for this evening.
Spotting the senshi, a mischievous grin spread itself across his face. He wasn’t sure what to make of them yet, but they looked like the perfect target for a little bit of fun. Once she was within range he tossed his first pinecone, aimed for their feet.

Thebe frowned as a pinecone exploded at her feet and she jumped away she looked up frowning. She remained claim since that was her thing. She said annoyance clear on her face, since she didn't like wasting energy. As she looked around for a raccoon or something she most certainly wasn't expecting to see a guy with white hair throwing stuff at her. She was at a disadvantage since he was up in the tree and she was down on the ground, but she did have her magic that she figured she would save to help her get out of this mess by slowing them down long enough so she would be able to get away.

He snapped his fingers when he saw that she managed to jump away just in time, a small smirk playing on his face. “Nice reflexes!” he called down to them, then tossed another pinecone again at their feet. He wouldn’t be surprised if she’d be able to dodge again–he’d lost the element of surprise, unfortunately.
A part of him wished he still had his slingshot from when he was a lieutenant. He could use all kind of things as pellets, and these pinecones were perfect for just that kind of thing.
“Let’s see if you can keep it up!” called the Captain, tossing another few pinecones in quick succession. It didn’t seem like he’d even need his crossbow this evening.

Thebe hated this so much she did not want to be wasting energy jumping around as snow exploded around her, she rolled her eyes this was not her idea of fun. She didn't think she could fight this nega head-on she grumbled as she was finally hit with one of the pinecones snow exploding around her and knocking her backwards. "This is such a waste of energy why are we doing this?" She asked as she got to her feet and brushed the snow off of herself. She still couldn't figure out what all the point of this was and she wasn't really an offensive fighter.. She might need to fix that and get an offensive power was that a thing? She sighed and got ready to use her power so she could go home and take a nap. She was so done with this interaction she wanted to be cozy and take a nap after having a cup of hot cocoa.

The Captain was maybe having a little too much fun watching the senshi dancing about, dodging the pinecones as best she could. Curiously, she didn’t seem particularly irritated, or at least whatever she was feeling didn’t seem to be directed at him. It was refreshing! And…maybe a little odd, but that only drew Staurolite in all the more.
When she finally blasted back from a pinecone, he did a fist pump and actually paused with the pinecones for a second. His excitement about the hit was muddled by her lackluster reaction, and the man tilted his head at her.
“I gotta say, that’s not exactly the reaction I expected. I mean, it’s great that you’re not getting all hot and bothered–if anything, it’s actually refreshing–but it’s…throwing me off a little.”
He curled his lip at that, and poised to throw another pinecone. “It’s not as fun when you Order folks don’t react.”

Thebe rolled her eyes "You picked the wrong senshi to pick on if you wanted a dramatic response I'm the senshi was Unau here I can show you what that means." She said with a smirk "Take it Slow!!" she shouted and then she cast her magic. "So after that wears off you can go pick on someone else because I am done playing the part of your moving target." She said sticking her tongue out at the nega playing the part of an angry raccoon. She hadn't wanted to do this in the first place. She was cold and she was sleepy. Thebe puts her arms out and casts a debuff to slow her targets down. All enemies within a ten foot range will embody the slowness of the unau and will move at 1/3rd their usual speed. The magic lasts for 30 seconds. Targets may move slightly faster if they are at risk of great harm (such as if someone is trying to deliver a killing blow) but otherwise they will have reduced speed. Their speech and thoughts will move as normal unless players want to slow that down as well.

The Captain had tossed the pinecone just as the senshi called out an attack, and much to his annoyance he wasn’t able to teleport away to dodge it. True to its name, Staurolite suddenly found himself moving in slow motion, facial expressions and all. The man curled his lip and raised his arm as fast as he could, wondering if the magic might affect his bolt.
“Should’ve just done this earlier,” he muttered with a curled lip. Moving slowly had the benefit of extra precision, or at least it felt like it did. Being forced to make more careful aim was probably a good thing, but that didn’t make being forced to move slowly any less annoying. As soon as he was confident that he’d hit his mark, the Captain shot off a bolt from his crossbow.
Captain — [Hand crossbow] Can fire an ethereal bolt every 40 seconds, up to 15 feet. When hit, it causes the sensation of sharp pain that pulses from the injury for 15 seconds. Being hit by the ethereal bolt can cause blunt force damage (including light or heavy bruising, up to broken bones or lacerations at player discretion).

Thebe was annoyed when the pain hit her "Just had to get the last word in huh." She said growling with pain before she cast her magic one more time and threw a pinecone from the ground at his face. She was hurt from the blunt hit of the attack but her shoulder would heal in time, she was done with this night.

Staurolite stuck his tongue out at her at her words, and chose the moment she poised to throw a pinecone to teleport away. Unfortunately for him, her magic hit him just as he did, so when he popped up in one of his favorite parks he was back to moving annoyingly slowly. Grumbling, he went on a “leisurely” stroll, pulling his phone out and starting a timer to see how long it would take for the magic to wear off.
He may as learn a thing or two about the senshi while he suffered the effects of her magic for a second time that evening. It was still better than taking one of those pinecones to the face, though, so at least he could celebrate avoiding that.
