EV is the easiest setting to shove shit into: the AU

[She'd arrived in time for the sandstorm that had taken over the city the previous weak and gotten enough of a rundown to understand what was going on. Of course it was a huge relief when the sand had passed enough to let them out of that dumb cavern and back into the streets, but now there were monsters all over the place. The worst part was that she didn't have her own pets to fight in her place. Not even Dumbo Decus was around to deal with this.

It's how she found herself surrounded by various creatures. Spiders, flame vampires, and even a couple of undead left over from the week before. It wasn't that she was lacking in skill-- the way she swung a toy rapier around and was able to deal such damage showed enough of her power-- but the fact that there were so many that was causing her trouble.

Frowning as a ball of fire shot out causes her to stumble backwards, she grips her weapon tighter and spins to point at the group, icicles raining down from above them. It took care of a couple, but it seemed only more and more kept coming.

Scowling, she took a step back, wondering how to handle this.]

[The magic makes him pause. Take a moment to debate–does she need his help or not. The magic-thanks, Zelos, for helping him recognize it–proves that whoever is struggling is capable but... they're still struggling. And against such minor enemies, too.

In the end, the "struggling" wins him over. He draws his knives and sends them flying, hitting and killing two spiders simultaneously. It's only a moment before they start flying again, a quick tug pulling them back, a flick and a snap to send them piercing through two flame vampires. More follow in a similar manner, with Baroona exerting less than minimal effort, almost looking casual as he manipulates the cord.

Soon, the numbers have been lowered–only two-thirds to a half remain. Enough to allow him to step closer to-wow, okay-the small girl in the center.]

Are you alright?
