"We're fighting... reindeer!?" Alice exclaimed as Santa gave the order for his reindeer to attack. Except that like everyone else, she would learn the hard way that these weren't no ordinary ungulates - sure they may not look scary like the monstrous Saevion from Yh'mi, but appearances can sure be deceiving as it turned out that Santa's reindeer were a class of their own! "What the f-!" the cat girl exclaimed as the one called Dasher zipped around at speeds her eyes could hardly track, its movements leaving blurred trails at it zoomed around. "Keep still, damn!" She hissed as she fired a few shots, though every time a bullet left her gun's muzzle the beast was no longer there. But that was just the beginning of her woes, as she would feel a distortion in the surrounding space... followed by what seemed like wormholes opening right above her. "Nyaaaa!" Alice screeched as meteors flew out from said rifts, exploding as they impacted the ground, and she would find herself caught right in the blast radius of an exploding meteor, sending her flying through the air like a ragdoll. Unknown to her though, getting ragdolled by the explosion thankfully knocked her clear of Dasher's charge, for now sparing her the fate of being gored by his antlers. "No more... nice kitty!" Alice hissed as she picked herself up from the floor, bearing significant burns from being caught by the explosion. "Multiplayer mode!" The cat girl's eyes glowed with a brilliant white light as she began to appear blurry to the human eye... before spawning two identical copies of herself, albeit undamaged. "I'm Alice Alpha!" the cat girl to her left remarked as she raised her hand into the sky. "And I'm Alice Beta!" the one on the right chorused as she performed the same action. "Get em' tigers!" Alice Prime ordered as she pointed towards Dasher. "You and I have some unfinished business!" Alice Prime remarked as she turned towards Comet, the glowing orange marking returning to her right arm and right side of her face as she conjured a pair of fireballs and lobbed them towards the meteor-conjuring reindeer. "Let's see how you like your own medicine, nya!" And with that she would cough painfully, apparently having been messed up internally by the explosion too. "Attack formation!" Alice Alpha and Beta exclaimed in unison as they charged towards Dasher, side by side with each other and every now and then would weave side to side to change places. "Take this!" Alice Alpha declared as she drew her gun and fired two shots at Dasher, meanwhile Alice Beta would springboard right off Alice Alpha's back and take to the air, raising her hands above her head to conjure a large fireball before throwing it down at the reindeer. "And that, nya!" @HollowCipher

Ah sorry about the slip-up, I'll try to keep up. Still, it's a good thing the show keeps going on regardless.

@Dolor Aeternum @P.N.See @Moon Owl @jaistlyn Chhitten's segment Things changed with the arrival of the Chhitten Magnus as the monstrous arthropods now seemed to have become more coordinated - the first pack of Chhitten, their numbers already decimated would instead shift its efforts to try and take down the defenders, as the multi-limbed horrors threw themselves at Soryn, albeit to no avail as their assaults were decisively guarded against - but no matter; that was but one person, and the beasts knew that a single defender could only fend off a group of attackers from multiple directions for so long! Meanwhile, while the first pack of Chhitten opted to go down in a blaze of glory, the remaining Chhitten pack - their numbers still largely intact - would make a race for the wagon with their spider-legged strides, closing the gap and soon putting the wagon with the reach of their claws and jaws.

Rolling D2 for Chhitten Pack B to determine Fear, D12 for actions.

@LunarCataphract About time you said hi to everyone, yo! Welcome to Valucre.

@supernal A friend of mine is interested in joining Valucre, and asked me to relay a question. He asks if members can add their own kingdoms/nations to the setting, and if so, how large can they be?

Alice hissed as Santa caught the bullet between his thumb and index finger, crushing it between his digits and sending the destroyed projectile onto the floor with a faint "plink". Dude just caught a freaking bullet with his hand - at least it means that she was dealing with an enemy with certified bullet-time reflexes; and that is not good. "So we're all scumbags, what else is new?" the cat girl interjected as Santa read out the various reasons they all made his naughty list. "Heh, Dan's talking my language, nya," Alice added as Daniel gave some highlights of his most gruesome acts. "It's true I've killed at my former superiors' behest without questioning them, but y'know, it's not like I have anything to feel sorry for putting death merchants, mafia bosses, pedophile priests and other scumbags six feet under," the cat girl would glance over at Shishi and give her a nod at her "every saint is a sinner" remark before continuing. "You're just like those people I've ended; in public they'd put on their facade of kindness and piety with their charity donations and all, but behind closed doors... God, the things they do behind closed doors makes me sick," Alice shook her head as she tried to get the images of depravity out of her head. She may be a stone-cold killer, but even she had certain lines she refused to cross. As Dan unsheathed his blades, Alice would cackle as she crossed her arms Black Panther style, her nails growing in length and transforming into a set of wicked-looking claws. "Heh, since nothing we say can exonerate us from your naughty list, we might as well go down fighting, nya?" She was certainly eager to sink her claws into her opponent's flesh at this point, but considering how nonchalantly he caught a bullet earlier, the cat girl wasn't about to recklessly throw herself at him, at least, not without the others attacking at the same time where they might hopefully be able to flank him in a blind spot.

Hello and welcome to Valucre!

Hello and welcome to Valucre!

I'm for skipping for the reasons @Thotification mentioned.

I too was away from Valucre for a long time; joined in 2013 and not seen since then but have only just reemerged towards the end of 2018. So welcome back, fellow returner!

@jaistlyn Yep, playing the Chhitten in a separate post.
