[reopening some of his own scratches as he picks the embedded feathers out of his arm]

I may need another. Don't enjoy it too much.

[survivaltricks]

No promises.

[a small sigh, and while Loki takes care of his arm, Lupin is going to gather up some shattered Scister pieces for Red]

Let's try a slightly stealthier approach with the Gator Dog.

[literal_trainwreck]

As you like.

[gathering a neat little pile of bloodied feathers along with the Scister he strangled to death]

[survivaltricks]

[this had better be enough for two daggers!!]

I do have fire, by the way.

[throwing that out there super casually]

[literal_trainwreck]

Of course you do. Well, I'll simply state that I think these woods would go up quite nicely.

[survivaltricks]

As chaotic and cathartic as that would be, I don't think murdering innocent wildlife is the answer to our problems.

[. . .]

I'll try it on the Gator Dogs.

[literal_trainwreck]

Shall we see who can bag one first?

[survivaltricks]

[glasses flash]

You're on.

[and then he bolts towards the swamp!]

[literal_trainwreck]

[fully ready for that, taking off into a sprint at exactly the same time]

[survivaltricks]

[and they are off, racing towards the swamp! gator dogs here they come]

[crittersheep]

[well if they're just gonna WALK INTO THE SWAMP......

the first thing they need to look out for is the quicksand! cuz there's a lot of that.

Oh and something that feels like a vine tugging down on their legs]

[literal_trainwreck]

[whips his head down to see what it is, scissors at the ready]

[survivaltricks]

[definitely avoiding the quicksand, but-- then something tugs at his ankle. and like Akechi, he is immediately yanking his leg away from the pressure as hard as he can, hand on his face, ready to summon a Persona if needed]

[crittersheep]

[It seems like it is a vine! or rather, a vine like tendril. Some ears, and then reptilian eyes rise through the mud, bubbling in aggravation that it couldn't drag down its prey.

It opens its mouth to let out a bellow--and surprise! its mouth is FULL OF TENDRILS.]

[literal_trainwreck]

[one man's terrifying tendril surprise is another's weak spot to be immediately and gleefully attacked]

Hereward! Rebellion Blade!

[whatever his big flashy almighty sword attack has been reduced to, he's still gonna try to make a skewer]

[survivaltricks]

[well that's terrifying]

[BUT FOR ONCE, he thinks Loki has the right idea, so-- with a muffled curse, Akira summons his own Persona-- Satanael-- to throw a snake-shaped magical spell right at that open mouth]

Jesus Christ!

[crittersheep]

[LUCKY FOR THEM, IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE TO ATTACK ANYTHING ITS FUCKING MOUTH.

It's not dead yet though, letting out a screech as it's blown from it's muddy security and it tries to scuttle away; when not submerged, it looks something like an alligator with pointed ears and scales all over. . .but it has the body shape of a corgi. Seems like its main defense is in fact it's muzzle, full of tendrils and fangs.

It's aiming to get to another mudpit to dive and get away if they don't stop it--]

[literal_trainwreck]

No you don't!

[dives after it, swinging the scissors]

[survivaltricks]

[meanwhile, Lupin is gonna use his THORN BALL power to summon up a ton of thorns around the mud pit to which the poor gator dog is trying to escape. no running away on his watch!!]

[crittersheep]

[YOU TWO ARE MENACES

The thorns cause it to resurface immediately, screeching as they manage to pierce its fleshier underbelly. And that also leaves it as a sitting target for Akechi.

If those were normal scissors, they wouldn't really do much, but since they're SCISTERS...yeah, their slicing through the gator like butter. It of course still snaps and thrashes at Akechi, so mind those fangs! They go DEEP.

But its struggling starts to slow--it's on its last legs.]

[literal_trainwreck]

[STAB! STAB! STAB!]

[also trying to use his knee to pin the thing's neck and keep those fangs away from anything too vital. but I mean he's already acclimated to JRPG mechanics, what does he care if he takes some bites]

[survivaltricks]

[Loki is probably 5000000x more menace than Lupin is. exhibit A: the stabbing]

Loki! Pull back before that thing shreds you to pieces!!

[YOU CAN USE YOUR PERSONA TO ATTACK FROM AFAR, YOU CRAZY ASSHOLE]

[crittersheep]

[LISTEN TO YOUR SHEPHERD!!! Loki is at least coming away with at least one fucked up arm and maybe a chomp near his mid section, but in the end? Stabbing > Bites.

So after another deep gurgle, the gator dog finally goes limp.

HOORAY???]

[literal_trainwreck]

[drops to his knees, right arm limp, laughing hysterically]

[survivaltricks]

[jesus fucking christ]

[bolting to Loki's side, crouching down with one hand on his shoulder. instead of using a punch heel, this time he summons Ishtar for a Mediarahan, which probably only heals about as much as the punch heal would have]

[and afterwards--]

Not an ounce of self preservation in you, is there?
