CHRISTMAS IN JULY, PART TWO;
Days 478-479 (July 13-16th)
- Day 478 (July 14)
- Following a network post announcing an impending attack by ice giants and Thiazi's declaration to the city, the fight begins when a small swarm of pixies descends upon the city, no more than eight inches tall and the definition of "glass cannons." They create chaos however they can: shaking snow onto people, carrying off weapons, and attacking directly if approached without an easy exit. Their teeth are curved like fangs and razor-sharp.
While the pixies stir the city up, the frost giants begin to load the golems up into the catapults. Two by two, the massive ice creatures come crashing - literally - into the city. They land hard and inaccurately, as the engineers' defenses on the city walls keep the giants from approaching too quickly, and some golems seem to be damaged already by the same defenses as they land. The pixies seem to lose interest around sunset (though you may find one or two hidden and sleeping in a snowbank if you look hard enough - they'll attack aggressively if woken), but the fights with the golems continue well into the night, until all in the city are dispatched. Where the pixies turn into snow, the golems transform into large hunks of ice after they are killed. - Day 479 (July 15-16)
- At sunrise, the pixies ascend from their hiding places and scatter, doing their best to break into homes to attack people directly. Today, anyone who finds himself bitten will begin to feel and act strangely.
Ice golems continue to come crashing into the city throughout the morning. All of the original ones slain, Thiazi begins creating more on the spot: while they may be more numerous, they are weaker, and many have odd physical defects. Some are missing arms, and others have extra heads. Following an attack by the strike team, the number itself will begin to thin considerably as one of the catapults is damaged and the other is destroyed completely.
Just before sunset, Thiazi delivers a final message and makes a hasty retreat with her entourage of frost giants. The spell responsible for the odd weather breaks the moment that she passes the threshold a half mile out, and all remaining pixies and golems in the city immediately, mid-action, turn to snow and ice.
By midnight, the city is thawed completely.

"I think I can help, but I need a little more info on what we're fighting. I've never encountered creatures like this before.
"What are they after? Do they have known weaknesses?" It's not like he can use plants like her, after all, but he's got plenty of other ways to fight, even if he's limited to hand-to-hand without his nen.
no subject
Ellie doesn't say how she knows that, but she does look at him carefully, guarded. No. No kid should look like that. He's going to be one to watch.
"Do you have body control or shadow control?"
It's a powerset she's all too familiar with. Enough to give him advice.
no subject
"Shadow control, apparently. I have no idea how to use it, though. I was planning on just using my body. If I hit ice hard enough, I figure it'll shatter."
no subject
Ellie snorts, then takes a moment to think. "You can probably make a weapon if you need one, it's gonna be stronger than your body. You can also use your own shadow to keep watch, I think."
Man, this would be easier if he had body control.
"Not all that exciting at first."
no subject
"Wait, why did you guess one of those two? You have plants, and I think I heard about others." He frowned, giving her a look as if to say suspicious.
no subject
"I've got enough friends there to know that color. Now get off my damn horse, I've gotta get over that wall."
no subject
Wow, rude.
"Hey, what's with the attitude? Thought I was helping you out," he grumbles, but fine. Whatever.
He hops off the horse to land lightly on his feet a few yards away, hands in his pockets again and a little, annoyed frown still on his face.
no subject
Ellie swings down off the horse's back. She's not that tall -- tiny, in fact, though not quite as short as him.
She doesn't take down the reins. Instead, she ties them in a knot halfway up his mane and gives him a hard slap on the flank. With a snort, he starts off at a good clip, riderless. Horses always like to head back home, and this way if any of her friends find him, they'll know she did it on purpose.
"I don't trust easy, either."
no subject
"So let me get this straight. First you were nagging about getting me out of danger by offering to take me to the safe house where I assume most of the non-fighters are, defenseless. Then you let me ride on your horse with you, behind you, without a second thought. You admitted you could use a hand with the monsters. ...But then you suddenly remembered that you shouldn't trust me. A little late for that, don't you think? If I wanted to kill you, you know I could have done it over two dozen times by now."
This is just stupid, he thinks. Did she seriously forget to be suspicious until now? What about him? He doesn't know anything around here. Of course he's got his guard up.
"Anyway, I never asked for your trust so I don't really care. But it's a really dumb point to bring up all of a sudden when it's so obvious."
no subject
"It's about knowing what you can and can't handle, and whether or not you're gonna get yourself killed. Or anybody else for that matter."
no subject
"Sure, whatever. I won't get in your way if you don't get in mine, Plant-girl. Good luck not getting smashed by ice monsters."
no subject
She means it, despite her tone, which is decidedly fuck off, dumbass.
"Don't get dead."
no subject
He grins suddenly, gives her a quick thumbs-up, and vanishes in an instant.
