>How did our crew fare, anyway? Minoriko in particular.
>All in all, a good showing. Minoriko did take some damage, but really not as much as you might have expected. And neither the fight nor her current state seem to have bothered her too much. She's presently standing with Camille and Ioana having what appears to be a pleasant conversation. It is unfortunate that you couldn't spare the focus to see what sort of powers she had in combat, but given the fact that she seems to have manifested the quarterstaff she is presently leaning against, you would assume she is at least partially melee capable. Kiku, showing no more damage than a hole in her skirt exposing part of her thigh, is walking towards Kenyu.
>Perhaps owing to the fact that she changed spectrums, Reisen appears completely clothed. Insomuch as her Caster form is clothed. White Rose hasn't fared quite as well. But easily the one who's sustained the most damage is you. Which is no great surprise as you had two fights in a row. The fact that you and Kenyu fought each other and then engaged in this 5 on 5 and kept at least some of your clothes on is a mark positive for the both of you.
>Nice work, everyone.
>
Thank you.Thanks. Rin and Minoriko answer in unison.
>
An informative exercise. replies Kiku.
Worth doing again, especially if all of us are here. she adds sharply in Lily's direction.
>
You started without me! the blonde protests.
>
Where were you? Rin asks her.
>Lily audibly hesitates.
I was, uh... I got distracted.>"Very well, then. We accept."
>Let's bow respectfully to our opponents. Even Cynthia. Perhaps especially Cynthia.
>"Always with the bowing." you hear Ioana drawl.
>"It's the Yamato way." Minoriko informs her, without looking directly at the naked woman. Camille calls in a plain robe and drapes it over the biker's shoulders. Ioana grins at her fellow Blood and bows to Minoriko. She and Camille do likewise. Kenyu chuckles warmly and returns your bow.
>"We could've taken them if you'd used your Jewels." Cynthia gripes at her leader. It's only now you realize that not once during the battle did you sense Kenyu use either of his two powerful Jewels.
>The oni shrugs. "Wanted to make it more fair. They were down a man. Plus I wanted to see how Poppy's swordsmanship stacked up to my axe." He grins, slightly flexing the muscles of his bare chest. "I lost."
>And then Wataru comes back to his feet. Given his apparant connection to Cynthia, and his attitude towards Reisen, you imagine he might not take losing all that well. But to your surprise, he says, "Now I see how you beat the Stuntrons." with honest respect, and bows his head to you.
