"Uh, yes. I'm mostly just healer, but I know how to make dangerous potions, too." As a matter of fact, she might have some blinding potions in her bag, next to several vials of a "healing salve" that'd help prevent infection. And bandages, lots of bandages; if anyone gets hurt, she's certainly prepared for it. And, even without her magic, is her blood still dangerous? Probably, the poison isn't magic. Not that she's going to start cutting herself and weaponize it. She shudders at the thought, but setting the idea aside, she nods and joins Victi on her little looting expedition.

“Don’t talk to strangers , don’t go into house or building without us.” “And please learn to swim , listen to us and don’t breaks the rules we don’t want you to die.” Liliath nodded “Okay”

Liliath looked outside “Hey there is new person!” “Let me talk to him , I wanna be the first one to say hi” Seo nodded “Fine.” “If anything wrong just yell.” Liliath runned to the man “Hi , who are you , you look like my dad”

A low growl rises in her throat when Liliath points out a new person. A person she did not see. She catches him now as the child trots blithely toward him, of course. An armored and possibly armed, possibly shapeshifting stranger that might want her dead.

"No, no, let me sniff him first!" She chases her and the strange man. It's an odd sideways gallop as she runs toward them with her back arched, hissing and spitting viciously at the man. Probably a hilarious and possibly endearing sight if the man happens to be a cat person. Raven thinks she looking big and terrifying, of course. Her dark, puffed-out chest and cold yellow eyes betray nothing but sheer confidence in her ability to intimidate.

“But he looks like my dad!” Liliath sighed but gave in “Raven Stop you are scaring him.” Liliath lifted the cat up “You are big and strong he isn’t so it’s not fair to scare him.”

“Raven how will my room look when I will live with you?”

A slight click.... quiet shifting... hell, a covert? here? Not kitsune, at least, they would have gone at her by now or come to say hi. She shushed Lisa, and leapt to cover, with a good guess at where he was relative to her. She was mildly ticked at how bright her fur was, not exactly subtle...

The issue with those types? Smart. They'd eliminate variables, usually, and if they knew anything about her kind, they'd know a nine-tailed sorceress was a hell of a variable, probably with some weird recursive exponential component. Then again.... they might also assume the need to assume her magic was not affected completely. Coin flip. Crap.

She peeked over. Noth-- something. A little movement, a bit of sound. Not towards the entrance they'd used, though... another one? probably, single door would be a dumb idea... Ignoring Lisa for the moment, she sprang towards the rear of the building, stopping when she found another external door... opened... outward. Made sense, easier for quick deployment. She crouched next to the side with the hinges, hoping he'd only follow her logic branching so many layers down, and ready to pounce either way...

Oh no.... the kid and the cat... she braced for the sound of a gunshot.

Lisa hears the suspicious sounds too, her sharp ears prick toward the back of the building, and she knows that Victi also caught it when she hisses a quick "shush" and goes for cover.

Lisa has no better idea than to follow her, so she stalks toward the back entrance, better hidden in the shadows of the building's awnings by her dark clothes, although her eyes, bright yellow and slightly reflective, are still easily spotted in the rapidly fading daylight. She sees the man, an armored and armed stranger, approaching the station's back door. He holds a long, dark...stick? Lisa had never seen a firearm before, but as she studies it, she realizes it must be designed to shoot...something. Maybe, she thinks, he has a sleek crossbow.

That could be either very good or horribly bad. Probably bad, and whatever flicker of hope she has in her dies when she hears the shrill cry of an excited child and sees Liliath charging the soldier. Behind Liliath, a small dark shape who she quickly recognizes as Raven chases after her.

She doesn't call or cry out. She doesn't freeze while only a horrified gasp passing her pale lips. She doesn't brace for the sound of a gunshot that she doesn't even expect to hear.

She charges him.

It's a split-second decision, one she'll accept as a stupid and maybe deadly mistake later. At that moment, however, she only thinks of protecting the child and an animal she knows of as family. If she could still shift, the furious protective instinct would leave us with a heavily-scarred black beast bowling the man over, but what we get instead is a six-foot girl leaping into the air and trying to kick him over. At the very least, she would draw attention to herself. At the best, she'd knock him to the ground.

Stacked up by the door, without the help of any of his high tech tools, Masato relied solely on his sense and skill. Reaching out to the door knob, he gave it the gentleness of turns, just enough to see that it wasn't locked. Shouldering the rifle, he pulled his hand back to his belt, unclasping a flash-bang. Everything else follows in seconds, as rote breach & clear training kicked in. A small windows was to the right of door, high up on the wall. Set the grenade timer, toss, then wait. Count of two; first the flash, then the bang. A quick jerk of the door, and he enters. Rifle raised, he quick checks left, then right. And saw it too late.

Victi watched as Lisa ran, eyes full of rage, fear, and.... something else she didn't want to mess with. Crap AGAIN.

Also, a tink of a...grenade? Oh goody! she liked those. And knew what to do. She rolled over near it, and kicked it as far down the building as she could, which, given that she could jump nearly twice her height straight up with her powerful digitagrade legs, built for jumping and kicking, was almost back to the front door. Hopefully that would make things less bad....

Raven skids to a halt when she thinks she catches the glint of yellow eyes and a snatch of white fur, both lurking in different spots. Whatever Liliath just said her doesn't matter when Lisa suddenly charges as the man and kicks him in the side. Shock, horror, and a smidge of guilt (she knows Lisa would only do something that stupid to save someone.) clog her thoughts and she stares ahead in shock. The scene plays out in slow motion in front of her. Worse, seeing that anyone could be Vincent in disguise, she doesn't know who to be cheering for.

Her foot connects with his side and it hurts, as she doesn't wear any shoes, but the momentum is hopefully enough to shove him to the ground. She hopes the "crossbow" flies out of his hands and she can swipe it away from him. She hopes he doesn't have the reflexes to hold onto it and shoot her. She hopes Raven and Liliath get the hint and run away. Her thoughts are a jumbled mess of hoping and fearing. The flash of a light somewhere to her right doesn't help. Good thing Victi thought to kick the grenade away, or she might be blind in both eyes.

Like a bad comedy, Masato saw his grenade fly back out the building he just threw it in, as he himself is sent back out of the door.

The full force of the chimera kick, even in regular form, causes Ikari to loose his balance falling back out the door he had breached seconds before. He barely manages to hold on to the rifle as he backpedals. Human instinct tightened his finger around the trigger, causing the high-powered sniper to discharge once; With no aim, the round goes wild. Its anyone's guess as to where it would end up finding a home. Frustration and surprise cause him to cry out in primal anger.

Instinct also causes him to reach out to the form that had just trucked into him, grasping out for any hair, limb, or piece of clothing in reach. While he was a sniper first, he was a CQC expert second. Should he succeed in getting a hold of the person who hit him, he would use the momentum of the fall to turn his body so that his assailant would end up on the ground, with him above them. Then a knee, a boot heel, or even a rifle barrel under the neck to enter a choke hold. After that, you just push or squeeze till the struggling stops.

Having booted the optic-flare away, Victi yanked her legs back under herself to launch at the attacker.

Lisa had almost certainly gotten too close for a longarm to be useful, which, by the sound of that thing, ow, it was.

Lisa did not seem particularly skilled at tactical hand-to-hand, however. A covert operative like this though? Absolutely would be. Fortunately, so was she, for someone under two hundred, at least. Hoping he would not be expecting her to jump well from nearly laying down. She sprang out the door to find him.... yep, choke hold. Good boy. Also, not watching his belt.... She grabbed another optic flare off of it, and, keeping the still-in pin hidden from his view, brought it in front of his face as she wrapped her legs and other arm around him.

Her muzzle close to... hopefully his ear, she whispered, "boo."

The wild shot misses, but that sound hurts. Now she can't clearly see, and she definitely can't hear. Hands grab onto her foot, which now aches after striking the armor, and suddenly she's also hitting the ground.

Lisa has the good instinct to throw her hands over her head, covering her neck with her forearms while throwing her legs up -if she can- and kicking blindly. Anything to prevent him from getting a proper hold of her.

"Raven what is happening!" "We need to hide!" Lilaith grabbed Raven from the ground . She runned back to the store and decide to hide there "I am so happy that when we are back home , these stupid things don't happen."

"I don't kn-hey! Put me down!" As Liliath scoops her up into her arms, Raven struggles. "That's Lisa over there, and Victi! We gotta-" Her words dissolve into yowling and snarling until they reach the store. "Let me go, Liliath!" She finally squirms out of the girl's arms, and falls to the floor in an angry, fluffy bundle. "Oh-hoh, you have no idea how many stupid things happen in my world- wars with dragons, angry bird-headed monsters, criminals, I could go on." She huffs, changing the subject. "Why the fffff-heck did you drag me away from there?" Suddenly, her voice falls to a whisper. "Lisa, that crazy- she just started a fight to save us...she thinks we were in real danger, and I'm sure she wasn't totally wrong." No doubt that was the real her. Raven caught no shifting shenanigans. "We -no- I need to go back." Her tone takes on a cold, firm resolve. "Stay in here, Little. I'm dead serious." She hopes Seo has the good sense to keep her inside.

As she heads for the door, she mutters insults like: "That lunatic spawn of a mange-ridden rat...charging people like she's an invincible knight in shining- when I get to her, she's gonna hear some choice words I really shouldn't say until the child's out of earshot..."

“Sorry.” Liliath mumbled as she looked away ashamed “I wanna go to Lisa.” Seo new that Liliath would run away and grabbed her by her arms “Let go off me!” “We need to stay here.” “I wanna go to Lisa , let go!” “We need to stay here!” Liliath bite in Seo her hands. Seo started screaming “You little annoying.” Then Seo realized she just hit Liliath out of frustartion . “Sorry I didn’t mean to.” Seo said panicking . “I hate you!” Liliath shouted crying . “Lisa!”

Loud sound! Loud sound! Crack! weapon? yes. combat. Far. close enough. close enough to kill. KILL. hated creatures? possible.

[The bursters, hearing the rifle shot, turn to fly towards it. Unfortunately, the town shifts, and they get lost again]

"Nice trick!"

The roar of anger becomes a smoldering growl as the camouflaged hunter realizes he's been played. Strong appendages hold his limbs in vice like grip. The enemy had outflanked him, he'd forgotten there were two, coming from behind. The mocking whispered word played over in his head, as the targets heavy foot below him connects with his center jaw. Once, twice, three times.

The taste of liquid copper tell Masato it did some damage, as blood trickles down to coat the inside of his throat. He couldn't do this two front tag-team bit. So, plan B. Closing his eyes wouldn't work. There would likely be short term retina damage even with his headgear's polymer visor. But whatever happened to his eyes, it would be worse for those around him. With, hopefully, enough distraction to break the beasts hold, he could put some distance between them and get even.

"Heres a treat... Ignite!"

The hissed words are monotone as they pass helmets speakers, hiding lips curved in smug sneer. As the grenades auto trigger ignites, he aims a hand at sidearm perched in a holster across his chest, as he silently suffers a world of colored in bright, painful white.

Miki was watching the group it was funny to do , she liked to spy on the small girl. It was funny to do because the girl always did what the others didn’t want. Miki was already here for a week , it was boring. She was really happy when she saw a younger girl so she could make friends
