Falu begins to struggle harder and screaming louder. Subconsciously, her Semblance begins it's standard form of defense, trying to change the direction of the darkness, attempting to propel it away.
(68) You cant really change the direction of an omnipresent force, but it does seem to have slowed in what it is doing, whether or not that is a good thing remains to be seen as it also seems to be solidifying into a form not your own.
In that case...
Maeve spawns a glyph, attempting to burn the shadow away, giggling maniacally.
(47+10) The glyph bursts into flames around the orb, doing causing superficial damage to the outside, but it does appear to work.
Ceil continues to try and push the shadows back, using a magazine of Ice Dust now to help control the crowd.
"Damnit, leave my friends alone, you hear me?"
(2) your weapon jams and you manage to fix it, only to find a shadow bearing down on you. At this point you have a choice, either pour as much of your aura as you can into this bullet to shoot and freeze yourself, or be caught by the shadow. You suppose that if you are fast enough, and if it doesn't dodge, you might be able to stop it, but it will be difficult.
Braith summons a massive Ursa Major grimm to wreak havoc on the shadows.
(35) It destroys one, only for four more to attempt to orb it. The Ursa disappears, and the shadows reform.
Ian continues his part in lighting up the area. By going all Sora on the shadows.
(72) Ian activates one of the dust canisters in his gauntlet (crystals are for senior classmates and the extremely wealthy) releasing a massive gust of wind from his claws, cutting through a number of shadows and saving a couple of beleaguered students.
((If you use sora for anything, I'm going to make it a wind based attack.))
Well shit.
Fine then. Fuck it.
TIME TO GO A-SLAUGHTERING
Drop in the middle of the shadows, begin the whirlwind of death(to shadows).
(58) And whirl you do, a number of shadows do fall, but it is mostly light damage.
Chartre switches Mistrelle to spraygun form and starts firing red dust in the direction of some of the larger groups of Shadows he has to contend with. Is he still near Ceil?
He is still near Ceil. (81+10) The spraygun turned flamethrower wipes an incredible number of shadows from the field, as they burn quite rapidly.
(45 +10) the fervor of battle has slowed as the number of combat-able shadows has significantly decreased as others catch on to their fire vulnerability. Additionally, the shadows that Professor Fae is holding at bay and indeed all of the shadows have begun to smoke as though they are disappearing. The orbs however seem to be a bit more resistant.
