5th Bite - The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

[badladyscramble]

[Early Monday morning, Remilia finds a package on her doorstep. Having long since decided it's no use fretting over these things, she opens it immediately - and as realization spreads in her mind, she grins wickedly and heads for the roof. Finally, something that can go right...]

[Action - All Day Monday, Around Town]

[Throughout the day, hints of red mist start to fill the town, spreading around out from Ricardo Street. Also throughout the day, Remilia can be found walking around with her parasol or at her usual hangouts (Sakuya, Flandre and Meiling's houses), seeming a lot more upbeat than usual and grinning far more than is possibly normal. She seems very pleased with herself.]

[Action - All Day Tuesday, Around Town]

[Now the town is entirely drowned in Scarlet Mist, cutting out much of the sunlight and leaving what's left of it deep crimson. Most people can only see a few yards, but Remilia has no trouble navigating through the red cloud that covers even over the tallest houses and buildings. Delighting in her freedom from the sun, anyone in the mist might hear a delighted, wicked laughter or spot a dark shape with large, bat-like wings flitting about through the mists. Feel free to call her out, or maybe she'll stop by herself when she sees those rendered helpless or frustrated by their surroundings.]

[Phone - Tuesday Evening]

Ahh, the world's so much better painted in red! Truly, a devil's delight. Much better than the boring white of all those houses and picket fences, don't you think? But~ I'm sure there are some of you who disagree, don't you?

You're welcome to come and find me if you dare to argue - the Scarlet Devil won't refuse a fun date~ Especially from a certain red-white miko, hmm? It's going to be a fun night.

[Action - Tuesday Night, 506 Ricardo]

[And in a relatively clear patch of the mist, Remi is standing on top of the roof of her house, posing dramatically with her wings out and hands folded before her chest, awaiting the night's entertainments. The thinning mist above her paints the moon a deep red, making for quite the silhouette.]

Hmhmhm, I wonder if she'll come~

[OoC: The Scarlet Mist mini-event has begun! The details can be found here, but basically red mist will begin filling the town on Monday; by Tuesday Morning, most of the town will be so covered in red mist, you can't see more than a few feet to a few yards at most. Feel free to respond to any of the prompts or make your own posts complaining about/dealing with the red mist.

It all goes away Tuesday night at midnight, after Marisa beats the crap out of her, so for anyone who fights her, just know she's either going to win or escape since her fight against Marisa will be the last one.

You can also come fight her faithful servant, Meiling, over here, as it's a midboss's gateguard's duty to take on anyone who wants to challenge the final boss.]

I'm sure there is a majority who disagree. It's rather selfish to do something like this on your own.

[badladyscramble]

Always the killjoy, aren't you?

[yamaxanadu]

Simply stating fact, it is a hindrance and rather annoying.

[Phone]

[paradisemiko]

...you'd just love to have me go over there, wouldn't you?

[badladyscramble]

Isn't it the miko's job to come investigate fun incidents like this?

[paradisemiko]

Normally, yes. However...I don't have any of my powers back.

(Reimu can practically feel Remi grinning with delight already.)

Action - Tuesday night so Remi can warm up with a vampire hunter~

[sunnydwithagun]

(He shouldn't guessed that the true villain would reveal herself in pride. Django should have realized sooner that it all started only a few houses down from his own, but there was some saying about the truth being close to home...

...but sayings would have to wait. The moon shined a bright crimson that it shouldn't be shining and the mist prevented sun light from reaching through for the entire time. His solar gun was charged, his breath was steady, his eyes focused on the vampiric girl standing on her roof. A steady wind makes his red scarf flow as he called out Remi from his own rooftop.)

Foul creature of the night! I call you out and demand you lift this crimson curse you've cast upon the town!

(Die monster you don't belong in this world)

[badladyscramble]

[She turns to face him, wings flapping out menacingly]

Oh? What fool soul dares to make demands of the Scarlet Devil?

[sunnydwithagun]

(His will undeterred, Django still stares back at Remilia.)

I am solar boy Django, son of Red Ringo. I demand that you put an end to this malevolent mist at once!

All day tuesday

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett is in her front yard when the town is shrouded in thick scarlet mist. Even though she uses her runes to enhance her sight, she finds that her vision is severely hampered by the substance. She can, however, see a bat-like figure floating above her.]

Is that...a Dead Apostle?

[Whatever it is, it is likely to be a danger to this town. With that in mind, she grabs a nearby bench and, with the aid of her Reinforcement, tears it out of the ground and throws it at the figure. Even if it does not hit, it should at least turn the creature's attentions toward her.]

[badladyscramble]

[Remilia sees it coming and easily dodges - she was one of the more nimble girls in the air from Gensokyo, and a thrown bench is hardly expert danmaku.

Her laughter rings out through the still air and she flits this way and that towards the source of the bench]

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett shifts into a fighting pose as the creature approaches.]

Action--Monday

[then_there_were_none]

[At first there had just been mild curiosity when Flandre saw the first few wisps of red go by. She even batted at a few, out the window.

But then there were more and more and then Remilia was there and suddenly Flandre was EXCITED.

Seriously she's bouncing around all over the yard trying to pounce on these cloudy things.]

Remi, Remi! Look, look!

[badladyscramble]

Oh? What's this, what has you so excited, dear sister?

[Says the vampire who herself is almost beside herself with glee, just playing along pretending to not have noticed the red wisps in the yard]

[then_there_were_none]

The clouds came to visit, Remi!

[Another pounce; the mist vanishes in her claws, but Flandre doesn't seem in the least bit bothered by this.]

[Action - Tuesday]

[ceasetoexist]

[Considering something weird was happening that was potentially dangerous, there was but one practical thing to do: wander around and see what was going on.

When he hears the laughter, Pokey clearly stiffens, muscles tight and wound like a small animal about to bolt from a predator and find some hole to hide in. But when he sees the outline flitting through the mist, he's able to recognize it at least a bit, and calms down.]

....What did you do?

[badladyscramble]

[Yes, more people need to assume this is something dangerous and deadly.

In any case, that reaction is especially amusing to Remilia, and she laughs all the more for catching him off-guard like this.]

Isn't it obvious? You can see for yourself - or can't see, I suppose.

[ceasetoexist]

....Okay? You made red mist appear.

Is that it? I mean, aside from the fact that you're running around like a moron cackling in it.

Bitch, it is ON.

[adropofjupiter]

[Sitting sideways on her broom, Marisa flies to the house having decided she's let Remilia have enough fun. She looks rather bored by the whole thing and is tending to her nails with an emery board when she gets to the house.]

[badladyscramble]

Oh? The red-white declined, so the witch has come to steal the spotlight, is that it?

[adropofjupiter]

[Still working on her nails.]

Don't you have anything better to do?

action; Monday morning

[perfectandelegant]

[As Sakuya's running her morning errands, she sees something all too familiar. Oh, she knows what that shadow is, and she knows exactly who's causing it.

Needless to say, she's going to let the grocery shopping wait long enough to go and lecture the responsible party. She pays no attention to the door lock, merely walking inside and calling out.]

Ojou-sama.

[badladyscramble]

[In contrast, Remilia is all too happy to see her maid over]

Ah, Sakuya! You came at just the right time~

action + tuesday, around town

[silpheed]

[DAMN GURL Rachel enjoys her scarlet colors too but this is... :|a Variety is the spice of life and all that corny jazz right... Okay no she's just a tiny bit peeved that she can't even go for a walk without being slightly unsure of how far she can see and all. It would be so nice to have Silpheed back right now but alas. u_u

While she can't really say she'd be able to recognize the other vampire by her laugh alone, that silhouette is pretty memorable as far as she knows. MIGHT AS WELL GREET SOMEONE.]

Enjoying the peculiar weather, Remilia?

[badladyscramble]

[Recognizing the other vampire's voice, she happily flits into view, landing daintily before her.]

Of course~ this kind of thing is my favorite, Rachel.
