DARK ALLIES FINALE LOG

WHO: Anyone and everyone!
WHAT: Dark Allies Finale
WHEN: March 22nd-24th
WHERE: Anywhere and everywhere in this afterlife
WARNINGS: Potential violence, loss of sense of self, fighting, cussing. If you have anything else let a mod know to add it!
SUMMARY: The Programmer and Fantoche have increased the number of shadows in order to pursue the NPC, Ai, who has been trying to hide but cannot continue to stand by and do nothing. Meanwhile, many of the afterlife's residents have been turned into NPCs.. is there a way to reason with them or get their memories back? There are 3 parts to this log!

MARCH 22: SHADOWS
Shadows are difficult to deal with, and you've just been surrounded. It seems like the number of shadows have raised up well beyond half of the NPC population. Team up, fight off the shadows, try to follow them to find the NPC first! Ai will be around throughout this log and will reveal her Guard Skill abilities in a comment here. Feel free to attempt to apprehend her.

MARCH 23: THE NORM
A few people have been turned into NPCs. The shadows seem not to bother them-- the shadows ignore them and those turned into NPCs don't even seem to see the shadows. They can see you, even if they can't remember. Try to talk some sense into them or take whatever measures you think are necessary? Try to keep them company or say goodbye because if Ai isn't turned in, there's no known way to turn them back?

MARCH 24: CAPTURED AI
Ai's identity has been revealed since the 22nd, but she's been avoiding capture up until now. Come up with a plan, decide what to do. It might be a good idea to have a meeting and talk to her. She's surprisingly cooperative. The OOC poll revealed that Ai will be kept away from Fantoche and the Programmer, so if any characters have the intent to do otherwise they will not be able to be the ones to find her. Of those who comment, on the 24th the mods will RNG one character to have successfully captured Ai and she will reply to that thread. Other characters or teams may jump in based on what you as the players have decided to do.

[A bunch of shadows in front of Ai while her back is smashed against a tree is perfect. Perfect for turning them into a large group target that won't pay as much attention to him. While they focus on her he comes charging over and blasts through the back half of the cluster from the side with an accelerated aerial kick. The action tears through the smoke-like shadows, causing them to dissipate as they lose what little substance they had.

Accelerator turns in place and aims his handgun at the remaining half of shadows that are between him and Ai. His gaze is focused on the shadows first, then it flits to meet her eyes. Well?]

[quickly picks off a shadow with a gunshot before responding]

Of course they're going to gang up on a single target and restrict their movement.

[Even if that wasn't specifically what she was referring to, he'll comment on it anyway.]

You're trying to gather them into groups to make taking them out more efficient, aren't you?

Explain this Lattice thing. After that, I'm making use of you.

[both his gun and his ability can do long range. that plus her shadow freezing should help them wipe out the shadows en masse.]

[pauses for several seconds, brow furrowing]

Can the net stand up to atmospheric attacks like wind and shockwaves, or do I need to stick to bullets?

Understood. Hopefully that's visible to the naked eye.

[he gestures with his gun toward the closest visible shadows.]

Let's get started.

[While she runs off, Accelerator puts his gun away for the time being and holds out a hand, watching her actions intently and putting it together in a spatial mental image. And, it's time to start calculating the air flow in the area. If he wants to have enough clearance above the top of the Lattice, he needs as perfect control as possible.

It's easy to do hurricane-level winds. What's not as easy is hitting only certain areas while leaving others intact. That said, he once took part in a high-speed battle against the Number Two while keeping all the falling debris from hitting civilians in the area. This will be simpler than that.

The air around him becomes visibly windy. All he needs to calculate now are the equations that will result in maximum widespread damage through the shadows while leaving enough clearance above the Lattice so as not to disturb its motion sensors.

A barrage of narrow and focused shockwave-like shots not unlike gunshots. That is the answer he comes to. A few seconds after her prompt, he focuses, holds his hand out in front of him and quickly flicks the fingers of his hands open.

WHOOSH! - off fires the first one fast as a bullet, with all the accompanying sounds of ripping through the air toward its target and tearing a small hole through it. And now he waits to see how things hold up.]

[starts firing off shockwave "bullets" with both hands, much like wielding two handguns. he's careful to keep them on the level of headshots. they decimate the shadows' head analogues.]
