Let Me Entertain You

Uh-- hey.

[A small Miqo’te holding the arm of a teenager a couple of inches taller than he is taps you on the elbow with his free hand. The kid he’s restraining does seem to be half-heartedly struggling, but the man holding him is surprisingly strong considering his stature.

In his hand, E’kayan is holding up some item belonging to the person he’s trying to get the attention of. A purse, a watch, a bracelet, or something else. He offers it out with a long-suffering sigh.]

I think this is yours.

[When he’d suggested the teen demonstrate to him how they usually entertained themselves (to give him some kind of idea) he hadn’t been expecting a quick show of pickpocketing. Luckily enough, he’s fairly good at pickpocketing, himself.]

… Sorry about this.

Never Underestimate the Toad

Explosions or a sword, what do you think?

[He can, in theory, do either (or both). The 5’3” tall Miqo’te doesn’t look like much but he isn’t overstating his ability in this respect. At the moment he’s holding a stave, his head tipped back and tail flicking from side to side as he looks at the approaching toad without a flicker of concern.

How could he be concerned with the kinds of things he’s seen in the past few years? It’s just a toad, he’s put down dozens of them before… though the splitting into multiple, smaller toads is a new thing.]

I can back you up, whatever you want to do.

[As ever, he prefers to not take the lead if he doesn’t have to.]

Experimente(a)nting

[E’kayan would readily admit, if asked why he’s here, that he’s ingested weirder and more dangerous things (and not always with his consent) before now. A bit of aphrodisiac tea doesn’t seem like too much of a problem when the reward is taken into account.

Once he’s in the room with the person he’s going to be trying to stuff with, he hops up onto the edge of the bed and scoots back along it, crossing his legs before he puts down the small box of teabags in front of him.]

So… which one do you want to try first?

((ooc: as an fyi, feel free to use this as a mid-fuck prompt if you like and direct the responses towards E’kayan’s IC Inbox if you want to take that route.))

Yanno, I've seen a lot of weird stuff.

[E'kayan hums the words out thoughtfully as he walks alongside Chuuya, tracking one of the escaped pegasus dogs around the edge of a residential district. One of his ears flicks slightly, his tail waving from side to side as they walk, and he glances at his current companion with a crooked smile.]

Even seen a flying dog before, only that one didn't have wings.

[And, arguably, was not actually a dog... He's not actually entirely sure what Argos is.]

What did that guy say? Down here then a left?

Hm.

[He had a sword in hand, but he didn't really have it at the rest as he studied the big toad. Minato hardly looked impressive himself, short and without much muscle definition, it was easily to underestimate him. There was a holster at his left him, a gun-like object within. But he didn't use it just yet.]

If we're fast enough, sword should be fine but... explosions would probably be faster. I can do either one.

[Minato was used to being a leader, so after some more careful thought even as the toad approached, he sighed and shifted his sword to his left hand so he could unclip and pull out his Evoker.]

I would rather get this done quick so, explosion. Swords will be back up. Do you know fire or lightning spells?

[He mentally went through his Persona cache to figure out which was best. Orpheus had Agidyne, Mother Harlot had Ziodyne... actually Odin had an AOE version of that called Maziodyne so if the toad still split, they had that to use. He nodded to himself, okay. He knew who to choose. His sword could easily pick up the rest, too.]

Do I ever.

[Heh. When it comes to fire and lightning he'd call himself an expert. E'kayan pulls his staff loose from his back and grips it firmly in one hand, and the air around him crackles with static electricity and purple light begins to gather at the head of the staff.

Lightning is a classic opener to his arsenal of Black Magic.]

You might wanna stand back for this, though. [The splash damage if Minato gets in the way isn't going to be something he can do much to mitigate.] Get behind me, yeah?

[Oh, an actual mage. That was neat. Minato pulled his Evoker from the holster and stood back, getting behind the cat man. He could practically feel the static electricity as it gathered at the head of the staff.

But, he wasn't going to just stand idly by either. He was curious to see how the magic would work, but he needed to be ready. Minato raised the Evoker to his temple. Since E'kayan was starting with lightning, he would go for fire.

He waited for the lightning spell to hit and once done, Minato pulled the trigger. The sharp sound of a gunshot echoed, followed by another sound of shattering crystal and soon, Orpheus morphed into the scene from that shattered crystal that had blown from the other temple.]

Orpheus!

[The Persona strummed the lyre it held and fire magic all over the creature.]

[The gunshot is something he would have appreciated a warning for. It makes him jump and the fur at the end of his tail puffs up as his ears pin back against his head.]

Gods-- give me a heads up next time, would ya?!

[It's a good thing he wasn't looking or he would have really been throw off his game.

The lightning hits, crackling across their opponent in lingering jolts, and E'kayan shifts to fire instead. He knows this routine like the back of his hand by now, and several lines spin out in a pattern around his feet almost like a flower.

Between the two of them they'll no doubt make short work of the unfortunate creature. E'kayan's proficiency with Black Magic is nothing to sniff at.]

[You make things explode and a gunshot scares you. Okay, bro.

Still, Minato only gave E'kayan a small shrug because what's done is done and at least the guy wasn't freaking out that he even put a gun to his head to shoot out Orpheus. Also, seeing E'kayan jump like a cat was kind of hilarious.]

Sorry.

[He did not sound sorry at all. Orpheus strummed the lyre as soon as the lightning was done, adding to the fire of the black mage. The creature really had no time to split up, did it? Minato almost felt sorry for it.]

[While seeing someone shoot themselves in the head would be more than enough to shake E'kayan up even with everything he's seen, Minato was stood behind him and it was only the sudden bang that had startled him.

He does not sound sorry at all. E'kayan frowns a little at that, but they have other matters to deal with and he puts it to one side for now.]

Hmm.

[E'kayan cocks his head to one side, his ears pricked up and tail slowly swaying back and forth.]

... I feel like we skipped a step. Wasn't something else supposed to happen?
