“Takamichi-chan, are you dressed up as Roy Mustang?” “Oooooh, she is. She's rather dashing, isn't she?” “Hmm, yes, she is. Mato-chan's a lucky girl, isn't she, sister?” “Oh-ho, jumping to conclusions now, are we, sister?” “Come now, sister, we both felt the disturbance in the lily side of the Force when they kissed just now.” “Oh, right you are, sister. Chills! It WAS quite the thing, wasn't it?” “Mm, it was... Mato-chan, why do you seem to enjoy wearing such tiny bikinis all the time? Don't you get chilly?” “I think that's what the coat is for, sister.” “Oh, I suppose so. I figured it was to dramatically flutter in the breeze or something similar!”

It occurs to you now that Mato was definitely NOT there while you were having your ability re-measured.

“Hey, Mato?”

Mato tilts her head at you, her once-again-short pig-tails bobbing ever-so-slightly as she does so. “Hm? What is it, Akari?”

…

How do you broach this topic? You trust Mato with your life (and perhaps more, you seem to be a bit of a romantic, after all!), so you don't want to imply otherwise, but...

Your 'Mato-did-something senses' are tingling like a 'Mo-fo'.

Those feels when you used the right image on the wrong post

Yes, that's it. You'll smoothly direct the conversation where you want it to go without being blunt about it.

You grin. “Did you see the look on Steve and those other researchers' faces when I shot that rainbow heat ray and completely wrecked their measuring equipment stuff?” You giggle. “They were all like, 'WHOA' and 'HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE'!”

You're like a fuckin' shark right now, Akari, holy crap. You can sense the metaphorical blood that is metaphorically spurting from the metaphorically ripped-open flesh of the metaphorical baby seal that represents Mato in this particular metaphor.

Metaphorically, that is.

But, in all seriousness, you can tell how uncomfortable Mato is right now.

You have her right where you want her.

Now it's just time to KICK IT INTO MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.

You frown and look down and away, as if ashamed, “S-sorry, but I was just so focused on the tests that I didn't think to look for you, y'know? I mean, this was a really big deal for me, and I was just so caught up in it, and-”

Mami clears her throat.

“Akari-chan, if you want to find out where Mato-chan was this morning, asking her is a much nicer way to do it. I can tell that you want her to know that you trust her, but making her feel like she let you down isn't much better as an alternative. Look- you're laying it on too thick- too much more and you're going to make the poor girl cry.”

You look back up at Mato, and see that she is indeed on the verge of tears.

… Maybe MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE was a bit too much this time? Usually she's not so sensitive...

“Normally it wouldn't be so bad, Akari-chan,” Mami continues, “but you really should consider that there are other... /factors/ involved.” She gives you a warm smile. “Important dates, for example, or work-related engagements. Perhaps she went and had her hair cut, or visited some of your hospitalized classmates? If she wanted you to know, then she'd tell you, sooner or later. Trust is integral to a relationship!”

She winked at you when she said 'important dates', you could swear it.

…

Is today important?

It's the 23rd of July...

…

Wait, tomorrow's-

Awwww, shit.

No wonder Mato didn't tell you anything.

She was birthday shopping For YOU.

Probably getting her hair cut (the hair that was absurdly long because of her going Big!Mato-mode to save you), and maybe even visiting the classmates you didn't even know were in the hospital, too.

Now you feel a lot like a jerk.

You can't stand this! This isn't justice! THIS IS A CRYING GIRLFRIEND.

YOU CREATED HER.

AND YOU MUST BE THE ONE TO UN-CREATE HER.

You wrap your arms around Mato in the least-manly hug you can muster, which is pretty un-manly given that you're a dainty little lily trying to make your waifu feel better after inadvertently making her feel bad.

You stroke her hair and nuzzle her and generally get as cuddly as you can. You bring your lips to her ear and whisper, “I'm sorry, Mato.”

“It-I-it-it-it's-I'm-it'salrightI'mnotevenupsetreally.Couldwepleasenotdothisinfrontofoursempais?”

Mami giggles, prompting you to look at her, and winks.

You are Patricia Martin, a BETA-ranked psion from the good ol' U.S. of A. and (apparently) the most talented Geokineticist on the planet.

There's a pretty funny story behind that, actually. You were just a kid at the time, maybe four or five years old, and you had been introduced to a show called AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. You saw all of the characters who could do all sorts of cool things with water and fire, and watched Aang do cool stuff with air, but it wasn't all THAT impressive... until Toph was introduced.

Not only was she blind, sassy, and awesome, she was also a kick-ass earth-bender!

Your father, Dr. Martin, was the head of the newly-formed NORTH-AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION of PSIONICS TESTING, INVESTIGATION, MEASUREMENT, and EDUCATION. Thus, when you asked him if you could be like Toph, he said, “Sure thing, kiddo. Heck, you don't even need to be blind, just willful enough to make it happen.”

He explained the theories to you, how it was all about making it real in your mind, but you just couldn't do it.

In other words, you weren't crazy.

No matter how much time you spent playing with rocks, digging up dirt, or going with mom into the mines, you couldn't make the earth bend to your will. You just... couldn't see it.

That is, until that one fateful day... you had been trying for a good five months, going down into the mines at every opportunity and everything.

That day was no different, at first.

It was a Thursday. When the tunnel collapsed, though, and that big rock fell on your head...

It stopped being Thursday, at least for a minute.
Your eyes stopped working. The world went dark, your mother's screams blocked out all other sounds, and the gritty dust and gravel filled your nose and your mouth.

File: Spoiler Image (480 KB, 500x271)

But you could tell what was happening, anyways.

You could feel it.

You were one with the earth.

You gave everyone quite a shock when you found a new deposit of ore before creating a new tunnel out with a stomp of your foot and a hand gesture.

… To make a long story short, you still haven't quite gotten the hang of Thursdays!

… Anyways, you're here in Academy City on 'extended foreign exchange', and you were supposed to have your 'level' tested today... but apparently the equipment got broken this morning?

You sigh and turn those stupid prosthetic eyes off with a mental flick of a switch, going back to your REAL sight. It's not that the eyes are bad, but black and white everything just really annoys you for some reason.

Mato stretches her arms and yawns. “Hey, Akari? I meant to ask you earlier, but-”

Her question is interrupted by a very familiar idiot and a very familiar pair of bre- err, her equally familiar and far less possibly-retarded girlfriend.

More specifically, it was a shout of, “FREEZE, MUTHAFUCKA!” as both Sakurako-san and Himawari-san leapt out of the alleyway.

Well, Himawari was more 'dragged' than anything, but that's not particularly relevant.

The blonde and stupid one is holding you at spray-bottle-point, and the buxom... bluenette(?) that is Himawari is standing there and sighing.

Mato tilts her head and stares.

You cross your arms and frown. “What the heck are you two doing in The Strange? This place is dangerous!”

Himawari makes a face that says, 'Oh god I'm so sorry', and Sakurako grins. “We're hunting!”

Mato joins you in crossing her arms. “Hunting what, exactly?”

Sakurako leans in a little closer and looks around the decrepit, graffiti-covered, run-down, urban hell-hole that is The Strange, then whispers conspiratorially, “A cow.”

…

You and Mato exchange glances.

Mato is the first to respond, and she says the thing that was probably the only thing one could say. “What.”

Himawari looks like she could die of embarrassment.

Sakurako frowns. “A /cow/. Y'know, a big fat thing with four legs and horns? They eat grass and stuff, and go 'Moo'.”

You rub your temples. “She knows what a cow is, Sakurako-san. What she doesn't understand is why IN THE NAME OF GOD YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO FIND A COW ANYWHERE IN ACADEMY CITY, LET ALONE IN THE RUN-DOWN AND LAWLESS GHETTOS!”

Your hair's on fire a bit.

Himawari looks startled, but doesn't otherwise show any fear. “See, Sa-chan? I wasn't trying to trick you.”

Sakurako lowers her spray bottle, primarily to cross her arms and pout.

“Maybe, but that doesn't mean you're not wrong! Right, Mato-chan!?” She emphasizes the outburst at the end by suddenly whipping her hand out to point at Mato, who frowns.

“Even if there was a cow here...” She scratches her chin.

“... wouldn't it, y'know, starve? There's not any grass here.” Good job, Mato!

She's adorable when she's thinking. You feel the tension and RAGE lift somewhat as you appreciate her elevated cuteness-levels.

“It would,” you say, “if it managed to live unmolested by the Skill-Outs long enough.”

Sakurako pouts. “You were supposed to be on my side, Mato-chan...”

“But your side doesn't make any sense...”

“Yeah,” you agree, “and just what the heck do you want a cow for, anyways?”

“What DON'T /YOU/ want a cow for?!”

Mato responds again, with something of a 'burn', as they say. “...Any reason at all?”

You suppress a snicker, as does Himawari.

Sakurako just pouts harder. “You guys're no fun,” she complains.

You counter by pointing out that they're just begging to be shot- or worse- and offer to escort them back to civilization. Himawari agrees, and drags Sakurako along with her.

It's kinda funny, you think- Sakurako dragged Himawari in, and now Himawari's dragging Sakurako out.

…

It's not long before you're back on patrol. “I really didn't expect to see those two out here... do you think anyone else we know could be wandering around this place?”

You shake your head and exhale the deep breath you'd just taken. “I... I don't even know anymore.”

Mato puts a hand on your shoulder and squeezes gently. “I know what you mean. Judgment work... it's always something different, that's for sure.” She chuckles a little. “I had just gotten used to how things were when you started, and then... well, you started.” She flashes you a grin. “And now everything's a hundred times crazier than it was before.”

Her grin proves to be infectious. “I'll try to take that as a compliment, I think.”

The two of you patrol in silence for a bit. “You know,” Mato says as the two of you turn a corner, “I'm pretty impressed, Akari.”

…

Huh?

She sees the confused look on you face and elaborates, “Just a few days ago, you couldn't keep pace with me, even when I was hopping backwards on one leg. And here you are now, matching me exactly! Not many people could do that, y'know?”

“O-oh. Okay...” You think you're probably blushing. For Mato to compliment your athleticism... that's like if you were to compliment someone's ability to burn stuff!

Is Kyuubey a nice enough guy to wake everyone up when Fate only asked for her friends? Stupid literal-minded aliens.

>>34167485
Kyuubey's capable of using context clues, if that's what you mean- he might not be certain what exactly differentiates a friend from, say, an acquaintance, but he can pretty well figure out that when 20 people you know are in the hospital, and you ask him to fix 'your friends', that you prooooooooobably mean all of them.
Especially when they were all harmed by the same thing.

You frown. Something's been bothering you for a bit, now. “What was Mami talking about earlier? Some of our classmates are in the hospital?”

Mato nods. “Yeah, but they're alright. They were all in my class last year, so I suppose they weren't really /your/ classmates.” She stops. “They were part of Fate's gang- the good Doctor Testarossa tested her weirdo gas on 'em, remember?” She frowns. “Were you awake for that?” She shrugs. “Anyways, like I said, they're fine. Fate's contract agreement with Kyuubey was that he would fix 'em up, good as new!”

You frown. Something about consorting with invisible xenos doesn't sit well with you.

“Anyways, do you know Minami-chan? Tall; mint-green hair; pretty in a weird, kinda androgynous sort of way? Head-over-heels for Kobayakawa-chan?”

You frown. “Kobayakawa... Yutaka-chan?” Oh, right! Wait, Iwasaki-san's a girl? Holy shit, you thought she was just a strangely attractive guy.

… Better not say that out loud.

Mato nods. “Yeah, you know who I'm talkin' about?”

“Yeah, I do. Continue.” Yutaka's sick all the time, and Iwasaki-san- err, Minami, is always taking care of her. They make a cute couple... didn't Iwasaki-san have some weird ability or something? You guess she probably did, if she was part of Fate's gang, given that was their schtick and all.

“She made a contract with Kyuubey, too, and her weird time thing is freakin' amazing, now! She can actually stop time and everything! And she asked Kyuubey to find a way to fix Kobayakawa-chan!” She laughs and laces her fingers together behind her head. “Can you believe that? It's like something out of a manga or a fairy tale!”

Hmm.

There was one thing about the story Mato relayed that really struck you.

Precia. Testarossa.

Just thinking the name sets your hair aflame.

She needs two things, you think.

An ass-whupping, and a nice pair of handcuffs anywhere from two to four sizes too small.

How can such an evil woman be allowed to exert her will on this city?

…

Something tells you that arresting her won't be enough.

If she's allowed to do as she pleases now, she's got connections or... or something.

Arresting her wouldn't solve anything. Sure, it might stop her for awhile, but, sooner or later, she'd get out.

No, you take back the bit about the handcuffs.

She needs a good ass-whupping, true enough, but the other thing she needs... that's a hastily-dug six-foot-deep hole in the dirt.

You're completely engulfed in flames, now.

Which is good, because the playing card that's whizzing through the air and headed straight at your neck is incinerated before it can come within an inch of you.

…

Your eye twitches at the laughter that follows.

You hear someone drop to the pavement behind you, and turn to see a young man in a black suit, cape, and oversized hat rising from a crouch. “It seems like Lady Luck is on your side... or, at the very least, /was/ on your side.”

Mato makes eye contact with you, wondering if you're alright, and you nod in affirmation before returning your smoldering glare to the man with the deck of cards in his hand.

“Ah, how impolite of me,” he says, making a sweeping bow as if performing for an audience, “I should introduce myself.” He rights himself and smirks. “Mother named me Jack LaCasa. I prefer “Blackjack,” myself.”

…

>Good job, anons. That was your save. He shoots first
But he already shot first `?

>>34170641
He did, and you elected to banter with him instead of asking what his problem was or simply shooting back.
Instead of trying to learn what was happening (doing the reasonable thing) or defending yourself (the most understandable reaction), you've decided to tease him a bit.

Just be patient, I'm writing as we speak.

>>34170508
There's a difference between crazy and violently insane.

You raise an eyebrow. “You know, for someone who's apparently concerned with being polite, you're very cavalier with your throwing cards at unsuspecting passers-by.”

“Oh-ho, for someone who was seething and simmering with rage not ten seconds ago, you're rather jovial, don't you think?”

He laughs and sends a card flying at you with a flick of his wrist. Your reaction is immediate and effective- you snap your fingers, and the deck of cards explodes rather pleasantly.

“Quick on the draw, too, eh?” He says, even has he jumps backwards to avoid being caught in the flames, “That's nice, honey, but you should know-” He reaches into his jacket and pulls out another deck of cards. “-blackjack is played with several decks mixed together!”

Mato hurls a rock at him... or, rather, she tries to, but manages to lose her footing and go sprawling to the ground.

He hurls a few cards at her, but you incinerate them in midair with a jet of flame.

“Awfully competent, aren't we, Miss Takamichi?” He cackles madly. “That's just what Miss Testarossa told me to expect, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised!”

… Testarossa...?

Your eye twitches in response to the name.

He's standing there, laughing at you, having just admitted that he's working for that genocidal bitch...

You flare up for a moment, but the hissing and sizzling of the asphalt beneath your feet snaps you out of it rather quickly.

You shake your head and take a deep, calming breath.

“Ah, I see your deal,” he says, “your self-control is rather admirable.”

He throws more cards at you, and you incinerate all but one of them. The one you miss hits a building to your left and nicks the side wall ever-so-slightly... but apparently enough to cause the wall to crumble and fall apart.

“But,” he adds, “you have much to learn!” You blast him in the chest with a prismatic heat ray, sending him flying into a building on the opposite side of the road, then, with a snap of your fingers, you collapse the front of the building, which may or may not have been a store at one point in time, burying him in a smallish mound of rubble.

The smoke and dust clear quickly, but the pile of broken storefront does not.

Oh wow. I feel really stupid now, and I'm glad it didn't win, because I meant to vote to check on Mato and not burninate.

You whip around and see the prone, unmoving form of Mato, and the blood on the alley wall and the ground by her head, and your fire fizzles out without so much as a puff of smoke.

Eyes wide, you rush to her side and roll her over onto her back. There's a nasty gash across the upper left side of her face, stretching from her forehead to just shy of her ear.

She's out like a light, but other than that she seems to be alright.

You hug her awkwardly and whisper to her that you took care of that guy anyways, and you're trying to figure out how to move her when...

Of course he wasn't down. But no regrets. Mato came first.

Oh shit! At least she's gonna be ok, otherwise Akari might have had to take certain measures...

I don't think so, I think it just means we got extra-14'd.

Oh boy.

>>34172946
Oh, I hadn't noticed that. DOUBLES.

>>34172917
Nope. I suppose using 'damage' there was probably a poor choice of words.

That was hit location/severity, basically. Well, kind of.

You'll see.

Triples!

Mato will probably be fine.

Blackjack, on the other hand, is going relish the sensation of being turned into plasma. He's lucky, nobody alive today has experienced it!

You don't hear him as he rises from the rubble.

You don't hear the cards whizzing through the air, either, not until there's already a gash in your forehead spilling hot blood into your eyes and all over Mato.

You recoil, bringing your hands up to try and wipe the crimson fluid from your eyes.

It hurts.

It hurts a lot.

Everything is red.

“See, kid, that's how they get ya. They make ya think you've won, that you're the luckiest sunnuvabitch alive, and then, when you lose, you realize it ain't a run of bad luck, it's that the game was rigged from the start.”

You rise to your feet and stagger away from Mato.

You boil the blood out of your eyes.

But everything's still red.

…

And there's a fresh gash across Mato's stomach.

He laughs. “Don't you get it, kid? The house ALWAYS wins.”

I think it's too late to count, which is probably a good thing from a mental health standpoint.

>>34173398
I'd rather not lose too much control and destroy everything around us in the fallout. We still need to get Mato medical attention asap.

>>34173454
Yeah. Just burn this guy's arms and legs off and book it.

>>34173523
As long as we don't lose our shit completly and hurt Mato more, its pretty much alright.

>>34173523
Hey, we rolled pretty well! Well enough not to fry Mato at least I think, which is my primary concern at the moment.

>>34173523
>You had a -60 circumstance penalty, by the way.
Can you tell us these things up front? It's more fun that way, I think.

>>34173523

The harder we burn this asshole, the faster we can get Mato to safety.

>>34173704
I wasn't going to make you not burninate him if you all wanted to, silly!
And it's pretty obvious that your rage at seeing Mato bleed is FAR more potent than the anger you feel most other times.

Most of the time, though, I really prefer to keep that kind of thing to myself.

>>34173740
Oh we were gonna kill him regardless, I think the problem is how much collateral damage we might inflict in the process and therefore whether we hurt Mato in doing so.

>>34173760
But I like cold, hard numbers...

Understood.

You find yourself leaning against what little remains of the wall his playing card destroyed, still on your own two feet, but too unsteady to stand unsupported.

…

“The house always wins,” you mutter, parroting his words and following them up with a giggle that you just can't seem to suppress.

You look over at him, cock your head, and consider him for a moment.

… His mouth is still moving up and down.

It's pretty funny to watch.

It's like he has no idea what burning alive feels like.

You wonder what he's saying.

Maybe he's asking you not to burn him?

No, he looks way too smug for that.

He's probably talking more about gambling.

It's a shame, really, but you won't get to watch him bleed out and die slowly, like he deserves.

Unfortunately, he's already made Mato bleedy and sleepy, which means he's super-duper-dangerous and needs to be exterminated immediately!

You giggle some more, and he stops and frowns at you. “The problem with houses is that they always seem to burn down!”

His eyes widen as you raise your right hand and press your thumb and middle finger together, palm facing up.

…

Your mouth splits your face with a wicked grin as you let him squirm for a split second before... SNAP!

>What do you target first?

>>34173872
>What do you target first?
>Head. We got more important shit to do.

>>34173872
>What do you target first?
Start with his dominant hand, make sure he can't try any last-second card throws.

>>34173872
>Head

Sounds good. A nice quick kill since Akari seems too far gone to not torture him.

>>34173872
>What do you target first?
>Everything from the neck up, kill him and be done with it so we can get Mato to a hospital.

>>34173872
Hands. Turn them to ash.

>>34173935
... That doesn't make any sense, anon.
You ARE Akari.

>>34173872

>Eyes. We can listen to him scream and beg while we take Mato away. Then, when Mato is safe, we can find him again.

>>34173872
If we can specifically torch his eyeballs, ears, nose, and tongue, then do that. If not, then I guess the whole head will have to do.

>>34173962
>You ARE Akari.
And look at the way the rest of the thread is voting.

Like I said, Akari is too far gone to not torture him.

>>34173980
>>34173969
I had considered boiling his eyeballs first, but his pain induced spasm would have probably ruined outr line of sight before we could do anything.

>>34173994
>Akari is too far gone to not torture him
>I'm Akari
>I'd better go for a quick kill

I'm sorry if I'm just crazy or something, but that doesn't make any sense to me.

It's not "I'm Akari"
It's "We're Akari"
Right now the Akari collective is mostly in favor of doing horrible things to this man.

>>34174126
At this point the majority is for the quick head-shot, though.
