1st Cameo: Make way for the Queen of Games!

[eternalcameo]

Action: Outside 7135 Brooks

(Okay, so things were pretty boring outside of the carnival that left. Asagi's come to accept that, but apparently it meant people were getting things back, so she's been frantically checking the mail for things addressed to her when lo' and behold, stuff! One of them is a package, so once she opens it up...)

Oh, fuck yes! Mommy missed you two so much~

(Yes, she's talking like this to her twin pistols. They've been with her since day one, so getting these back is just wonderful. The other thing, apparently a letter, holds nothing but a photograph of some...light orb thingy? The hell's that all ab-

And suddenly, the words "LEVEL UP" briefly appear over Asagi's head, accompanied by a brief fanfare sound effect. The girl stands there in shock, knowing exactly what just happened.)

My levels! Holy shit, I got my levels back! I am in business now! Ohohohoho!

Action: That place everyone likes blowing upJohn Doe Park

(Hope you weren't planning on a peaceful walk through the park today. Because this girl is pretty much going on a field day with her regained guns Just ignore that transformation part and the poor video quality. Yes, that is her normal firing speed and no, she doesn't seem to be stopping to reload. Care to jump and find out what the hell's going on?)

[Dakki was more out for a peaceful jog than a peaceful walk, but it soon became obvious that she wasn't going to get to have one of those when she heard all the gunfire. And then started to see the gunfire, because it was everywhere.]

Hey! HEY! Cut that out! That's dangerous!

[eternalcameo]

(Asagi stops momentarily when someone calls her out on it. It's just a little harmless target practice.)

It's not like I'm trying to kill anyone. I just got my guns back, so what's wrong with a little practice?

[photonicfighter]

Bullets can kill people! Stray bullets can kill people! That is a lot of firepower!

[This was worrisome. How could someone with so much firepower be so... reckless with it? Not good, not good.]

[eternalcameo]

Damn right it's a lot of firepower! You need all the firepower you can get in my line of work.

(Because being a side character is suffering and demands a lot of combat.)

[photonicfighter]

What is your line of work?

[It's asked with narrowed eyes and careful curiosity. She was certainly familiar with the lines of work that required all that firepower, but they also generally required some restraint.]

[eternalcameo]

Officially, I go by the "Wandering Protagonist" or the "Queen of Games..." but if you want to go by actuality, I'm a side character. The best fucking side character to come out of Nippon Ichi!

(All of this is spoken with pride...and yes, she's very serious about this. And just called herself a side character...yeah...)

[photonicfighter]

..... [Those were words. The girl had used words. But the words didn't make sense when pieced together. Dakki blinks. Then blinks again.] I see.

[Because "what" is an impolite answer, of course.]

...Well... as a "side character"... you may need lots of firepower, but you should still be careful with your firepower. There are people here that could be badly hurt by that.

[eternalcameo]

You're talking about everyone who's not a drone, right? The ones smart enough to get the hell out of the way when they see a gorgeous girl like me rocking a pair of guns like there's no fucking tomorrow?

[photonicfighter]

I'm talking about people that aren't from worlds that are full of enormous amounts of firepower. And there are children here! Even if someone is smart enough to "get the hell out of the way", they might still be hurt while getting out of the way!

[eternalcameo]

Then that's their fault for not moving fast enough. (Asagi shrugs.)

All of my shots are precise; if I wanted to kill anyone, there'd be a hell of a lot of corpses around the park, so why don't you back the fuck off and stop telling me how to do what I do best?

[photonicfighter]

[Dakki is not particularly intimidated, nor encouraged to back off. She holds her ground, arms loose at her sides, but fists balled tightly.]

I have no intention of backing off if you intend to keep doing hazardous, inconsiderate, dangerous things in a public space! Whatever or whoever you were wherever you came from, it doesn't matter! You can't do that here.

Go up to makeout point. There's much less foot traffic. Don't do it in the park, of all places!

[eternalcameo]

The name's Asagi. You'll do best to remember it.

It gets less foot traffic because it's a fucking far walk! I'm not gonna go that far just to shoot shit up, especially since there's nothing to shoot! The crap here's doable and it'll be back tomorrow, just like anyone who dies here.

[photonicfighter]

I'm Dakki. You should remember my name, too.

[The more she talks to this girl, the less impressed she is. The attitude is self-centered enough to disgust her.]

So you'd rather take the chance of killing someone than to slightly inconvenience yourself? You don't want to walk? What's the matter with you?!

[Then she throws her arms outwards in an angry, demonstrative gesture.]

Death isn't a one-day-revive process anymore, if you haven't been paying attention! People might not come back for a week! And it has side effects. You'd be causing people actual suffering if you accidentally kill them.

[She pauses. And seems to realize something.]

And you're not the sort of person to care at all, are you?

The Park

[chalicejoker]

[You're not the only one who uses the park for target practice, but this is a little ridiculous. Are you even trying to be careful with that? This ticked-off armored guy sure doesn't think so.]

You really need to find a different place to do that.

[eternalcameo]

I would if the shooting range didn't suck. It's nowhere near good enough for me and it's not like there are any enemy units for me to beat up.

(She shrugs. Reckless? Totally. Damns to give? Very few.)

[chalicejoker]

True, the shooting range is a waste of time.

[He jerks a thumb at the forest and all those trees.]

Many of us with real weapons just use the trees. Or make our own targets. Or we don't do this when there's a really good chance when someone's going to stumble into our line of fire.

[There is a very good reason he approached while wearing armor. Insane amounts of bullets tend to do that to a guy.]

[eternalcameo]

(Poor guy's had plenty of practice walking around insane amounts of bullets already.)

See, that'd take too long to set up and it's not like any targets I can build would last long enough to be worth it. I'm just too good for dummies.

(Why yes, that's a hell of an ego she has, why do you ask?)

[chalicejoker]

[His life is bullet hell, man.]

Any fool can cause mindless destruction throwing around that many bullets. True finesse lies in skill shots or hand-to-hand combat.

[You'd think that by now he'd have a better handle on the right way to deal with women with healthy egos who have the tendency to cause insane amounts of bullets to start flying around, wouldn't you?]

[eternalcameo]

I'm not stupid; of course skill shots are true finesse. Can't pull off shit like this otherwise.

(Effortlessly twirling her guns around her fingers, Asagi fires one bullet from each, ricocheting between the trees and bringing two large branches down on Hajime. You need to be careful about women who like bullets.)

[chalicejoker]

[He will never learn...but at least he was in a form that could take the hit.]

Cute.

[Riders are pretty tough, so at least he's not reduced to asking for help to get out from under those things.]

Getting the job done that way seems preferable to ludicrous amounts of overkill, assuming you can even back that up with hand-to-hand.

[Too. Many. Bullets. Too many bad experiences with too many bullets...and let's face it, he was restraining his own overkilling nature by a pretty high margin before getting dragged to Mayfield.]

[eternalcameo]

If I had all of my regains, I might be able to. It's not like I don't know fist fighting, but guns are my forte. I should see about getting my ball and chain next; that's the one melee weapon I love using since it's based on my HIT stat instead of strength.

(Yeah, good luck with that. Asagi doesn't even offer to help because unless he's level one, he should be able to get out of that just fine.)

[chalicejoker]

[He's up out of the branches now and is dusting himself off like nothing happened.

...and all that talk about HIT stats? He's got no idea what she's on about, because what is the fourth wall? Clearly he needs an education.]

Stat? Either you can fight or you cannot.

[eternalcameo]

(Silly Kamen Riders and your lack of 4th wall knowledge...)

I've regained 1500 levels; you bet your ass I can fight. You're welcome to try and prove me wrong.

[chalicejoker]

Levels?

[He's still got no idea what she's talking about, at least with that. A challenge to fight, on the other hand...]

I think I will.

[So he's just going to try a rather quick side kick, designed to sweep her feet out from under her. Clearly he has no idea how to treat a lady.]

[eternalcameo]

(Clearly. Silly Hajime; Asagi's much more acrobatic than Kreutzer. That's why she can not not only leap over his attack, but jump high enough to kick off of the Kamen Rider's chest, launching herself further into the air while firing at him as she descends. Bitch doesn't play around)
