I interpreted the situation as the hellhounds were splitting up Sin - tearing the individual apart, as it were.
What is under the area here? (Seeing as how there will be two tornadoes here... tearing up the ground)

No, I'm pretty sure she just did the demonic equivalent of giving birth to hellhounds.

I tried to add in a flaming tornado...
So, two tornadoes have cut off (I would say 5-7) umbilical cords, one turned into a fire tornado (Is now eating up the original tornado in a column of flame) and the other is a whirlwind of rocks and metal, and they are circling 3-4 hellhounds.
On Rurik's end, he is bearing the weight of the sensory deprivation on Kadia, and launched the net that would have been used earlier on Thomas and later Na'lsa...
Yeah, Lev would have been deader than dead if it had fired earlier...

I apologize for the anticipated mistakes, knowing I am terrible at this.

If the core of this remains, then I plan on having 3 dead dogs, 2-3 sick dogs, and one bite off Kadia's arm next post.

Oh right, Gall does have a point with the limited space.

Also, we were talking about sensory deprivation chambers on Facebook, but in that case, you're in a water-filled pod. Here, you could /die/ in a split second. Yes, I know they're accustomed to fear, and that Dante's emotionally not the strongest person out there, but if even /he/ panics when suddenly robbed of all sight, I think Kadia would also be heavily affected.

Lolol, Dante's already taking damage from Tarja's attacks.

ALSO ASPHYXIATION?!

The *danger-TK'er* thing is sort of part of the idea...the presence of sin drove her to rage...the absence of sensory turned her into an unconscious conduit of power.
Kadia, for all intents and purposes, has left her body as a spinning destruction-meat puppet with a last direction to focus on Sin/the demon-dogs.
Afterwards...complete bodily destruction/incineration may be necessary to stop her body from destroying everything else...if the dogs don't eat her first.

Uhm. We don't really want to kill characters this early on, unless you're comfortable playing as Kadia-stuffed-into-Rurik's-body.

Espy, do you have more on that article (sensory-deprivation)? I didn't have the time to fully read it.

Also, I am not sure yet. I may just do that (Kadia/Rurik Hybid), or I may just cause her to lose a limb or two.

Not sure where I saw it. You could probably just look it up.

SO MANY POSTS TO RESPOND TO @_@

1.) The Hounds torment Sin, they quite happily tear their way back inside when they're done with what their doing. She hates them, but also has a profound maternal instinct to protect them.

2.) I suppose the net would have killed Lev if you hit him with it... Lev on his own, but Na'lsa's soul resides in his body and can regenerate from literally a single cell if he needs to (or at least he could before, he may be somewhat weaker now)

3.) Sin can't *stop* the Hounds. Death's spirit is in them, they answer to him alone. And he's none too fond of his mother.

4.) I'm okay with the net taking one out. I'm not sure how you're figuring 3 to 4. If they're not immune to fire, they;re highly resistant to it, being, well... HELL hounds. They bathe in the burning lake. I'm not entirely convinced being battered with stones and shards of metal going 300+ mph will affect them all that much. They're rather... huge, and as mentioned incredibly durable. Really, holy attacks are the way to go, which is why the net was a good plan.

5.) On power scale: 3 of these hounds would have an even change to kill Thomas in a straight fight, for perspective. And Sin is incomprehensibly more powerful than us. Incomprehensibly more powerful than almost anything in the setting, really. Only Abaddon, the Beast, Metatron, and maybe the 4 Horsemen together (and obviously Death) could definitively destroy her.

6.) Lawtan, I need you to explain WHAT Kadia is doing (OOC). How do her powers work? I don't even know if it's psy or theurgy. And why does she get to go super-saiyan cause she's angry? What if Thomas got angry? Would he suddenly go from city-buster to continent-buster? There has to be some kind of justification.

7.) The tornadoes may actually hurt our efforts in the long run. They'll prevent the gunfire from outside from hitting home, and concentrated fire from their autocannons and hmgs would do a significant amount of damage to the Hounds' bones and organs. On the other hand, they might screw up the missile's trajectory, possibly.

But seriously, I kind of recommend bailing out the windows at this point. Even if it's an a hundred foot drop (which it is) the damage is inconsequential to what's going down in this room, and we could fight them more evenly outside.

And I just love that Na'lsa is totally insulated from all of this inside Sin having the time of his life right now. :D

Very well. I'll work a ton on Kadia's background next post. Can I ask for your help there, Suze?
(Fire tornado meant to go wild and screw up technologies/trajectory. It is not really meant to harm the hounds.)

Okay, that makes more sense. And sure we can.

BALLS I forgot about Dante's handgun. Well, I doubt even those bullets could do much against the hounds.

They'd do a damn sight better than his sword. :P

Just to note, Tarja is not trying to cook anyone friendly, she's "aiming" at the hellhounds and Sin's general area. I'm more hoping to burn away an umbilical cord or two rather than do serious flesh damage. Tarja has walled herself off from the darkness for now, but can't see a blasted thing anyway because it's still dark up against her shield, so she can probably hit party members too, if they happen to get into the same space as her psychic microwave.

Yes, I am aware that there is a bed nearby on which a man is sleeping that is covered in likely highly flammable linens. She's also trying not to hit that.

Should I change my post? (both about gun and fire)

If you want to, Espy. It wouldn't hurt anything to.

Na'lsa has no way to stop/divert said missiles. He has the psychic power of an aging hamster.

Out of character, how are these missiles being guided? Thermal, provided coordinates, tracker, TV-guided, laser designation? And what type of missiles? Just regular old precision-strikes or bunker busters or what? If it is tracking by the thermal signature put off by Sin, a huge whirling fire tornado in a slightly different location could put it off target. EM-Pulse Grenade could technically do it, if it could somehow be set to go off before the missile detonated while in proximity of the missile. Which would require someone to launch this hand grenade at +700 miles an hour while attempting to 'lead' the missile(s) with whatever object they are launching from. All while deprived of all senses.

Falling blindly out of a window does sound a lot better.

Also, I'm finding it hard to figure out what to write, aside from a very extended version of "He is getting full".

I just attempted to stifle a laugh while having a very sore throat and what resulted was a hoarse wheeze crossed with a choking death rattle.

They're fuel-air explosives, and right now there's just two of them coming in. And yeah, they're tracking Sin's heat signature.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure Diogenes thought this plan all the way through... Though the hounds weren't on the scene yet when he called in the strike. I don't think he'd suddenly call it off with the appearance of MORE enemies, though...

Not to mention, Kadia's sort-of preempted the explosives by already turning the room into a firestorm, so I'm not sure it actually matters. :P

Uhhhhh. How many of us would actually survive a 100ft fall?

Tarja could with telekinesis and could probably get everyone down with it, too.

Na'lsa would just regen, I assume.

Kadia, if she was sound of mind, I assume could soften her fall.

Diogenes could brace himself with TK against the impact

Fishboy... would probably survive, but might have some issues...

Dante might be out of luck on his own? How confident is he in his TK?

Not very. He'd have to jump relatively close to the building and see if he could use various things (LIKE THAT CHAIN?!) to latch onto other things.

Worse comes to worse, he can try to wrap the whipblade around something and break it, but it'll slow down his...uh...

...descent.

A ukranian stewardess once fell out of a plane (after it was blown up by terrorists) and survived the fall. It does happen. It's just rare and requires months and months of intensive care.

But a 100 foot fall is...doable. Dante could use Na'lsa as a cushion. Soften the blow. *snicker*

I...uh...oh no. Did I miss a joke in there?

Just an old joke from the previous Esch about the status of Dante and Lev/Na'lsa.

Just imagine Espy. Dante and Lev, falling out of a window, clutching each other in a final embrace in slow motion as the Rod Stewart version of "Sometimes When We Touch" plays in the background.

EDIT: Wait wait. I got this.

Times I regret that we don't have likes or a rep system on Trisphee....

*Dying of laughter over here*

I'm trying to not laugh hysterically while waiting at the baggage carousel.

*blink blink*...*blink blink*

...*twitch*

Also, I forgot to mention -- if we're going out the window, Dante will definitely need help. His vision is a bit like Eagle Vision from Assassin's Creed, but less defined, which means /he'll have no idea where the ground is/.

-pokes suze for help around 9 or 10 pm if available-

Tarja will help Dante out since she feels she owes him one after he stopped her chopping crazy angel's head off and being attacked by mass hell snakes.

This is, of course, assuming the opportunity comes up.

Could we avoid the whole falling down a hundred feet thing? Please?

But it's more fun that way.

Not for /me/.

I'll be here.

And who are we actually waiting on? I don't want to post until we have something of a plan for how this is going to go.

I know that's supposed to be the weasel tune, but my brain is playing Alfred Hitchcock.
