-Kaz Hands- (Event Post)

[ogrewarrior]

1.) Kaz sits in a patio restaurant, eating a sandwich, drinking a beer, and smoking occasionally. Maybe you've called him there to meet after a nightmare meeting, or you're there to ruin his afternoon. What looks like a bakery package is at his feet He's also considering some notes on his tablet, but seems much more interested in his lunch.

2.) Or he's on the Barian island. True to his word, he has brought a few different kinds of beer, a boar hunting spear, a book, and Sullivan, who seems really excited to be there..

*Kai's a little perturbed by his Titan getting stolen for Xyz material like that, but... what can he do?

The Summoner gets attacked by the Roach Knight, shattering into water droplets again, before reforming. Another drop of water is heard, his LP at 7875. (1600 > 1800 ATK)*

Summoner's revival effect can activate once per turn!

[autumnswarm]

"Oh, good. Evilswarm Bahamut! Destroy the summoner again!"

[the_ebbandflow]

*he covers his face, like he can't watch...*



*but then he grins, peeking out*

I got my counter from the revival, so I don't need your guys to stick around. Activate, Holy Barrier - Mirror Force!

*the card flips up, as the water in front of Summoner rises up, freezing into an icy mirror, which shatters as the attack hits and reflects back at your monsters, Swarmivan.*

[autumnswarm]

... all of them explode.

Swarmivan stares at their empty field.

"...End."

[the_ebbandflow]

That's what I thought. Draw!

*he draws his card, looking at it*

I activate Salvage, so I can retrieve the two Titans from my Graveyard! *the cards slot out, as he grabs them*

Next, Summoner's effect! I discard Aurora Glider Drake from the deck to Special Summon: Aurora Belon! (1400 > 1600 ATK) *that bird appears, dull as ever.*

Next, normal summon Aurora Titan, and then... Construct the Overlay Network! I use the Level 4 Aurora Titan and the Level 4 Aurora Belon! Let's try this again, okay?

*he holds out his hand as the two monsters combine into the network*



Riding through the infinite sea, here it comes! Xyz Summon, Number 101: Silent Honor ARK!

*the ship makes it's new appearance, still dwarfing everyone else. Only this time it gets a boost from the watery surroundings. (2100 > 2300 ATK)*

I'll attack directly with Aurora Summoner, and if nothing stops that... Then I attack as well with Silent Honor ARK!

*water magic and charged up lasers right into you, Swarmivan. Again, that laser feels like it wants to burn at your infested soul.*

Turn end!

[autumnswarm]

They shriek again, burning down to [2200] as they smolder, looking like they're melting for a second before reasserting themselves.

"Draw! Pot of Dichotomy! Add Mandragora, Obliviwhisp, and Thunderbird to our deck and draw two cards. Allure of Darkness, to draw two more cards and banish Evilswarm Golem from our hand." Another counter opens, a few of those otherworldly portals open again.

"Creeping Darkness to banish Bahamut and Mandragora to add another Obliviwhisp to our hand. We remove the counters from Chaos Zone to special summon Mandragora! Summon Evilswarm Castor! And then with Castor's effect we summon Obliviwhisp again. Construct the overlay network! The leader of the swarm! Evilswarm Ouroboros!"

The huge thing roars, multiple heads moving in and out of the body as it detaches a material as it roars, coating the Aurora Field in gunk, sending it back to Kai's hand.

"And that's our turn."

[the_ebbandflow]

Aha. That should be big enough.

*he draws. what is he talking about??*

It's time! I'm going to be reconstructing the Overlay Network with Number 101: Silent Honor ARK!



*he holds out his hand as Silent Honor ARK turns into light, along with its' materials, into the Network*

Release yourself from your core! It's time to fight back against the abyss! Xyz Summon! Shining Number 101: Silent Honor ARKADIA! *the Red Core from the ship appears, before cracking and opening up, forming a decently large-- but smaller than that ship-- warrior, holding a lance. The 101 is emblazoned on its' side, and it's armor is a shining white. (2800 ATK)*

[autumnswarm]

They stare at it. ... that's going to be a problem. They reach for something on their disk, but stop and tilt their head, hair falling out of the chitin, doofy grin on their face.

"Oooo~ I think I like that monster a whole lot~ I'm keeping it from getting too tricky for you, Mister Kai, but I don't know how long I can keep it up though~"

[the_ebbandflow]

*he gives a small look of surprise, before smiling*

Well, good, because this is how I'm gonna help at all!



Silent Honor ARKADIA's effect! When it's summoned, I can attach one monster you control as a material! ARKADIA! Take Evilswarm Ouroboros!

*ARKADIA forms what seems to be a new core at the tip of it's spear, before flinging it right at your monster, Sullivan. Try as Ouroboros might, it can't escape being captured, as the core shrinks down in size and condenses into a Material light.*

Now, just to be safe... Reactivate Rising Sun Over the Aurora Sea! *he slips back in the card, as once again, the surroundings become appropriately watery and sunrisey.*

Summoner's effect! I discard Aurora Glider Drake to Special Summon Aurora Belon! (1400 ATK) Normal summon, Aurora Titan! (1400 ATK)

Overlay them! The crashing giant of ice and snow, come out, Aurora Gigas! *the Network forms, as a giant with that glossy, icy form tears through the space that forms, before landing on the ground. (2400 ATK)

How do you plea, Swarmivus, facing down both monsters?*

[autumnswarm]

Swamivan stares.

"What?! We could've banished that ARK! We could've won this duel with Ouroboros, now that we know how to counter your little deck! You had nothing to be able to counter us! Destroy us and the little sorcerer then, boy.

See how that weighs on you."

[the_ebbandflow]

Man, I think you don't realize something.

The reason I was waiting around for you to summon something like Ouroboros is because you need something to make a "vaccine" from, to start creating a cure.

Namely, the Evilswarm Virus. Do I have that right?

[autumnswarm]

"...What.

Then... it was never about winning and losing!"

They look over at Kaz who gives a happy wave. Back to you.

"We were set-up."

[the_ebbandflow]

"Thems the breaks", huh?

Gigas, grab 'em so ARKADIA can hit!

*oh god Sullivan the Gigas just dove underwater and then came up quick as a flash behind you, grabbing you, as ARKADIA's spear glows-- first sickly with the Evilswarm virus, but then purified, gathering into energy.

Before blasting at you.*

[autumnswarm]

It struggles like...

...

...well a bug being grabbed by a huge titan, most of whatever it can do probably going to fixing that gaping hole that was in it's chest.

"No! We can't end like th-YYYYYRRRRRGH"

[the_ebbandflow]

*the energy blasts through, burning away at the Evilswarm virus as much as it possibly can, before gradually ceasing, as the sound goes off signifying a duel end.

ARKADIA, the ocean, and Gigas-- everything vanishes after that.*

[autumnswarm]

They sort of lay there, smoking. Before there's a groan as Sullivan flops over onto their belly.

"That was actually. Fairly pleasant."

They tap on their head, then hum happily. A pause. They hum again, louder and more out of key.

"A hum! I see people and don't see something to infect!" They close their eyes and... nothing happens.

"I didn't grow wings! By the gods above I didn't grow wings and I WANTED to~!" Oh god there's a laughing and flopping Sullivan wrapped around you Kai.

[the_ebbandflow]

*oh god what he's wrapped around by a laughing Sullivan, do I panic, do I push him off, do I let him stay.

well he seems happy enough I'd hate to ruin his joy*

Ah-- ahaha, I'm really glad that worked out for you!

[autumnswarm]

He... She... ... It? Might have it coming. Maybe not right now though.

"I am too~ Thank you thank you thank you if you need anything done, let me or Kazzy know, between the two of us we can figure out how to do anything~"

[the_ebbandflow]

Hah, thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I ever feel I need help with something.

Still, you feel alright? Nothing missing?

[autumnswarm]

They mmm. Patting the body down.

"Not that I can tell~ human biology is... reasserting itself. Might need to work on that with some other things later. Hmm~ Definitely fem-... Ah~ That should just be a surprise. No more bugs crawling under my skin."

[the_ebbandflow]

Well, you know, as long as everything seems like it's in order and you're not about to go all bug-zerk or anything like that.

[autumnswarm]

"I thought that the hair would turn back to black, but I may have to manage that myself~ Ooo~ Or maybe a bright green!

... But, no, no bugging out~"

[the_ebbandflow]

*he smiles widely. he's so easy-going.* Well, that's a relief.

And now I know that I can definitely do something like this. Which is reassuring!

... That hole in you is fine from being speared though, right?

[autumnswarm]

They turn around. There's some popping of buttons.

"Just a nifty discoloration~ Like a bruise of some kind."

[the_ebbandflow]

Oh good. No gaping terrible holes, then.
