| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga Location: UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Taking part in Armor Wars, Arena 3 if you wanna watch. Now Playing: OR3O - All Eyes on Me And just like that, it was over. Hebi coughed quietly, as the cloud of ash and dust turned to stinking tobacco smoke. It took a few seconds for her mind to process the white room that once again surrounded her. It took even longer for her heart to slow down, especially since the room was nowhere near as warm as the fire had been. She was barely able to acknowledge the people treating her wounds, a quiet "Thanks." all that greets them. The serpentine girl snaps back to focus as Raincheck is finishing up his speech, taking her full attention briefly. The question rings in her head, more than the praise or encouragement. What it all was? What?
As the hero leaves the room, Hebi turns to her two fellow 'survivors' with a smile, barely noticeable. "You both have an ally in me, should you ever need one. Makitori Hebi, first year." She stands up from leaning back on her tail, seemingly going to leave, before turning back around to Amilia specifically. "Oh, English girl, what's your name?" Upon receiving an answer, she'd face both girls once more. "Miroru-san, Amilia-san, thank you both." Her attention turns to a camera in the corner, light blinking red. "What that all was... I think that was a scared young child, dealing with a Quirk they could not hope to control so young." Staring now at the camera she was talking up to, Hebi became hyper-aware of the fact that thousands of people were watching her. Perhaps people who knew Makihara Nagako. People who remembered the small Quirker child she was talking about. This fact, coupled with the exhaustion of the challenge, very quickly triggered the part of her brain that said to flee. Without elaborating on her theory, or saying goodbye to the other two, Hebi made her way out of the room as fast as her large body could. Her stone face betrayed nothing but quiet mystery.
tl;dr - I'm waking up, to ash and dust. - I turn around and express my trust. - Says her name, asks Amilia Pierce's, thanks both. Miroru- Suggests an answer to Raincheck's question. - Refuses to elaborate. - Leaves. Jinx

Snakes, primarily ambush predators, are adept at lying in wait until their moment to strike arrives. Unfortunately for Hebi, her foresight went a lot faster than her body. In the brief period between the hammer throw and the big boss re-appearing, Hebi had been moving closer to the danger zone. Closer to Amilia, as much as she could while travelling significantly slower than the bull. Too slow to get there, before a laser impacted the machine and sent her comrade flying. Fuck. Hebi was able to catch up to the beaten-up bionic bovine, using her considerable strength to break Amilia out of the seat if her weapon failed to have the desired effect. "Sorry, I should've been quicker. Time to go." Hebi re-equipped 「The Social Distancer」, gauntlets covering her hands as she activated them for the first time. She acted as a bastion (and a distraction) while Amilia made her escape. Then, once her more acrobatic teammate was clear, Hebi turned tail (hehe) and ran as well. While she could take a hit, the first burn she'd gotten today hurt quite enough, so she wasn't keen to fuck around and find out with this flaming foe.
tl;dr - Tries to make a catch, but too slow. Amilia Pierce - Uses 「The Social Distancer」to cover escape. - Nigerundayo! Miroru Jinx

| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga Location: UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Mutant Rights rally this weekend, fighting against misinfo in the curriculum. Now Playing: Jordan Clarke - Freaks Since everyone else was making their way out of the lecture hall, Hebi initially didn't question Genki walking out in front of her. 'Oh, he's in my way...' she figured, preparing to either wait behind the boy or maneuver around him. What she hadn't been expecting was the other person turning and talking to her. Looking properly, that was indeed Genki Tokage. "wh- huh? what?" It took a couple seconds for her brain to catch up to what he'd said. "Oh, uh... snake is right, yeah. Eyes up here." Though Hebi had meant that last part as a joke, her tone was entirely flat, and nothing in her face betrayed anything but intensity either. While Genki talked, her eyes had been passing over his features as well, in between making eye contact. Scales, claws, tail, all familiar to her. She wondered what, if anything, was hidden behind the lizard boy's mask.
Hebi was about to reciprocate the gesture that Genki made with his tail with no questions asked, but realising that it was accidental, she accepted his handshake instead. Cold, as she'd thought and as he'd said. Not that Hebi really noted any difference in temperature, just the lack of the usual one when she touched someone. Her hands were smooth, lacking Genki's claws. Genki's next question, again, took a couple seconds to process. "Makitori Hebi... is me. Nice to meet you too, Genki." There was some small amount of comfort in the fact that Genki could not connect her name to her appearance. Maybe she hadn't stood out as much as she thought? Either way, she returned her hand to her side, pulling out her phone from a pocket in her bag. "What's your Line ID? Or your number? Can't stay and talk in here, but we could meet somewhere else." Hebi's eyes briefly wandered over to the front of the room, only to see that their professor had left already. A short hiss escaped her mouth at this realisation.
Notes: - She's essentially just asking for his contact info so they can communicate for the project, but she's not saying all that. - Probably gonna be one more back-and-forth, then a scene change.

PC New Quirk for the Event: Quirkless Is your quirk going up on the Free Market?: Yes! ( Makitori Hebi's 'Serpentine') [OPTIONAL] Updated Quirk Description: Hebi, having been pulled into the Dream World, has lost her Quirk and all its effects. [OPTIONAL] Personality Adjustments: While still as passionate and idealistic as ever, Hebi's mind is no longer clouded by animalistic urges and instincts. She's a lot less reserved and no longer compulsively quiet, able to be both more outgoing and more peaceful in her own mind. Unfortunately for her, the stress of the event may not be the best environment for this change. [OPTIONAL] Appearance Adjustments: As her appearance was altered so completely by her Quirk, Hebi is unrecognisable without it. She's still her normal height of 4'11", but lacks any of her distinctive mutant features. Light tan skin, almond-shaped dark brown eyes, and straight black hair cut to just above her shoulders. Like this, she could pass for just about any college-aged girl in (rural) Japan. Much to her dismay, she looks eerily similar to her mother.

| Location: UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Taking part in Armor Wars, Arena 3 if you wanna watch. Now Playing: Adele - Skyfall Time is of the essence. Agreeing to Amilia's version of the plan with a nod, Hebi downed the vial of red liquid. The immediate impact was greater than she'd expected, her tail making a dent in the road as she whipped it up and down. Now, looking over at Miroru, Hebi initiated the next step of her brief preparations. "May I take the sweater? I believe I can make best use of it here." When Miroru agreed, Hebi put on the sweater and activated the effect. The serpentine girl grew now to 9.5 m/13 feet from head to tail tip, massive and muscular. Though she said nothing, her mind was racing. 'I feel like a Kamirex monster, this is so fucking cool!' Taking out her Laser Cannon for the final time, Hebi laid it down on the ground. "I think I get what you were talking about earlier, Firefox-san. I hope I get it. You can do more with this than me, right?"
Without further ado, Hebi wrapped the trailing end of her tail around Amilia's body. Then, she began spinning in place. Much like an Olympic hammer throw, Hebi used the full length of her strongest limb to bring the swordswoman around and around, faster and faster, until with one final flex, she sent Amilia flying. If her aim was as good as she thought, she would fly through a hole in the cocoon and strike at its center. Not content just to do this, Hebi also utilised her greater-than-usual strength to pick up as many large debris chunks as she could and launch those too. None of them on the same pinpoint course as Amilia. Now dizzy, Hebi dropped to one knee. All she could do now was wait and watch.
tl;dr - Preparations -- Downs the 「Ex-Sample」vial, bringing her Strength up to B+ (scenario maximum). -- Takes the 「Oversized Christmas Sweater」and activates it, doubling her size. -- Gives the「Laser Cannon」to Miroru to use. If refused, gives to Amilia instead. - Action -- Hebi launches Amilia Pierce through a gap in the cocoon, aiming (with C- Awareness & B- Dexterity) for a direct hit. -- She also launches a few large pieces of rubble at the cocoon, with less precision.

Sure enough, as Hebi called for aid, it came in the form of Miroru's assistance. She'd have to ask the red fox's name, once this was over. For now though, as she was lifted free of all the dolls that had clung to her, there was a pang of guilt. They were acting as scared civilians here, right? Would they all be alright, if she was not protecting them? Quickly, Hebi's survival-first instincts swept away that thought. If she'd stayed as she was, the giants would've reached her. She (and the dolls) most definitely wouldn't have been alright. Touching down on the concrete, Hebi listened as Miroru addressed her. Being called by her hero name was very gratifying right now, in a way that it hadn't quite been before. Still, Hebi couldn't help but question what was being asked of her. "All due respect, I don't think I'm the best scout? Not the fastest one here." Despite her cynical words, Hebi started down the road, towards the couple other participants doing so more quickly. "Even so, I'll trust you with my life right now. Scouting it is, shout if you need help with your part. Hey, Acrobat-san! You're fast, so let's double up. I'll guard our little scouting party." She continued to move, at Normal Person Speeds now that she was un-burdened, down the road towards/with Amilia.
As the giants fell with a mighty crash, and as the fire flew overhead towards the 'final boss', Hebi couldn't help but feel herself back out in the street, fighting the Tortured. The memories this sparked were so intense, in fact, that Hebi also got an idea. Whatever was in that 'cocoon' was bad news, they couldn't let whatever incubation process this was finish. So, they had to strike hard and fast. She pulled out the「Laser Cannon」and began to charge it up. While it reloaded, in a sense, she turned to the only other two present she had any particular confidence in. "I've dealt with a threat like this before, and I think I have a plan. If we can blast a fire hydrant, or at least the water, with the laser cannon, then the steam will explode out, hopefully enough to launch the lightest of us. I'm also strong enough to throw someone, especially with some kind of propulsion, so I could try and launch one of you over through one of those gaps? Then I (or the other one of you two) fire this cannon through another hole until it stops working. Sound good? Or does one of you have a better idea?" Hebi was very acutely aware that time was of the essence, here. They didn't have much of it to waste deliberating, action must be taken.
tl;dr - Saved! - I'm on intel? and moving quickly? Miroru - Calls out to Amilia Pierce to stick together - Begins moving out down the road, on guard/tank duty. - Charging the「Laser Cannon」, but not firing. - (Tracer voice) Do you ever get that feeling of déjà vu? - Proposal: Hammer Throw Jinx

| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Does anyone else see a monster when they look in the mirror? Now Playing: Mother Anarchy Loves Her Sons Once again, Hebi found her attention fixated on every little movement and gesture that Marlene made. Her shoulders slouching formed a knot in the serpentine girl's heart. The lack of understanding, lack of ability to convey something as subjective as emotional responses or motivation objectively. She was failing, needed to do better. The spoon, bent between delicate fingers with force that did not match the amount (or, more appropriately, the lack) of apparent effort on her part. Was Marlene angry? Frustrated? Did she feel anything, right now? Did Hebi? It took her a moment to breath and ground herself, but yes. She was still feeling. Just as quickly, the spoon was flawlessly bent back into its original shape. Hebi was fully staring, with intensity that (if she was aware of it) she'd worry would creep anyone else out. Maybe not Marlene, though? Enraptured with what she saw and heard, the conscious suppression of various habits was slipping. Rhythmic, her tail swayed much like a cat's before a pounce. Sensory, her tongue poked just slightly outside of her mouth, as if focused on some artistic task. Sleek, her posture was low, arms propped on the table fighting her urge to rest her head there.
Hebi, self-aware, shoved a large chunk of fish between her teeth. The savoury sensation of biting into (cooked) flesh was enough to distract her bestial mind from its coup attempt. No, we can't lose this one, she understands. When she'd cleared her mouth, she spoke to try and answer Marlene's questions. "Yeah, that's essentially it. You're understanding..." but, with the comment about laws, clearly Hebi hadn't been clear enough to be understood completely. She took a few seconds to consider that proposal. Well, she didn't much care for The Law itself, but didn't the Nāga have her own laws that she followed? A code, of what she thought was and was not just. Was and was not acceptable. When those laws were broken, that sure was one of her main motivators. "Laws in a sense, yeah... They're a little arbitrary, but so's the way common law is applied. They are my laws for what is 'good', and innocent people being hurt breaks them." She wondered if this was maybe a more productive way to re-frame her position to the other cold girl? Did she comprehend axioms and hard lines better?
Or maybe she didn't need to? Because there, again, was another thing Hebi could immediately connect with. Duty. This comment seemed to spark enough recognition/response that it was actually visible in her face and body language. Perked up, briefly. "Yes, without a doubt. More than anything else, my duty is to protect people." Maybe being so certain about such a self-sacrificing purpose in life wasn't the most healthy mindset for the young heroine, but at this point she was essentially incapable of viewing herself as more important than others. That was bound to happen, with her background. "...and you?" That quiet intensity shone through again, with a hope that peaked above the barrier of her monotone. If there was anything like the fire that lay behind Hebi's eyes reflected in the automaton's own, that would be validation in of itself.

| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga Location: UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Taking part in Armor Wars, Arena 3 if you wanna watch. Now Playing: Pagan Fury - Broken Heroes Makitori Hebi was not fast, not by any stretch of the imagination. She was a quick-thinker, perceptive, but the bulk of her body restrained her. Weighed down by the 'civilians' on every part of her body besides her head, she was not merely slow. She was immobile. Or, so it seemed. She wasn't moving, in any case. The one on fire had burned the flesh of her lower leg pretty badly, but she could struggle through that pain. She could carry this weight, but... you have to escape. Hebi dropped the「Laser Cannon」, recalling it to her inventory quickly. It was useless right now, and would just burn her hands if she continued to hold it. 3 of those titans downed was a pretty good run, honestly, given she was the only one trying. So, with her main weapon gone, and the giants still advancing along with the tide of 'civilians', what could she do? Too weak to fight, too slow to run. The fire that burned in her chest, behind her stone face, flared through her throat and became her voice. "Help me out, here! I can't get out as fast as you guys, gonna need some backup!" With this plea screamed out, Hebi turned back towards the oncoming heralds of destruction. Turned around until she found whatever camera was recording her. To face whatever crowd had assembled throughout the country to watch their struggles. She stood, again, defiant. "I was born Nagako, now I am Nāga. I will live, today, and succeed. There is no other option other than surrendering." She began to move in Miroru and Amilia's direction. She could carry this weight, as long as she focused - focused hard on each step. She could move as fast as she always did, strong as she was. This was not fast enough, but it was something. She was trying.
tl;dr - Assessing the situation... situation does not look good, gang. - Tasukete! Miroru Amilia Pierce - Defiant speech. - Baby stepsJinx

| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga Location: UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Taking part in Armor Wars, Arena 3 if you wanna watch. Now Playing: CG5 - Injustice "Great idea! Lead away the ones that aren't fixated on me, which I really hope is most of them!" The anxiety that prompted her wishful thinking unfortunately did not show in Hebi's speech, as she shouted in Miroru's general direction. She was so fast, faster than Hebi could ever hope to be. Did her own mutant nature have something to do with that? She didn't have time to ponder that question. Curiosity could be satisfied later. While collecting (a group of) the 'civilians' on fire into a pile had gone off without a hitch, it was the all-important follow-up that had gone awry. As should've been expected, the wood of the cane snapped faster than the metal or concrete did. A brittle lever wouldn't lift shit. Hebi, at first, looked for a way to achieve her plan without relying on the crutch of her tail's reach, but couldn't find one quickly. Her options for mobility were quickly being limited, too.
That second of hesistance and the couple steps needed to re-position herself for the manual hydrant-breaking had cost her a bit of that buffer the earlier success had bought her. Cooling down rapidly as she and the surrounding road were soaked, Hebi prayed that the fire all around would keep her temperature up and steeled herself for the next stage. Once again, she physically braced herself against the ground. Noting no recoil, this time it was just for better aim. She let loose the「Laser Cannon」on the Giants approaching once more. Fire! Presuming no spontaneous explosions from the cannon, she readied another shot. Fire! Presuming no overheating rendering the weapon useless, she lined up the last shot of this burst. Fire!
Unfortunately, that's all Hebi could manage before a s e a r i n g p a i n in her leg caused the cannon to stray far off-target before she could pull the trigger. One of the fiery fuckers had grabbed her, yep. That wasn't good. She didn't see any more of them fixated on her, but there were several not on fire.
tl;dr - Great minds think alike! Miroru (note: she hopes that the ones not attaching themselves to her are the majority, to clear up potentially ambiguous wording) - Off-balance and vulnerable, but Steps 1 & 2 ultimately successful. - Step 3: Using the new brief safe-space, buckle down and blast up to 3 more of the giants with the「Laser Cannon」, dependent on the thing not blowing up or overheating the first 2 times. - Awaiting escalation, post 2/2.

There stood Makitori Hebi, defiant. The giants were many and strong, sending heatwaves their way. Facing this threat, Hebi couldn't help but feel incredibly outmatched. But, knowing that at least two of her fellow students were fast enough to make rescues and willing to support her, she was able to stand strong. The little... false babies were even greater in numbers, Hebi hadn't quite grasped the scale of 'one per building' in this neighbourhood until now. Some of them were on fire, same as just about everything in this no-longer-picturesque hellscape. A large number of them were approaching her from all sides, far more than there should've been. She'd only saved one, which was now making its way down to her. Looking around, she saw the cause. As each more ambitious hero hopeful had brung the dolls to the street, then been evacuated as they couldn't handle the heat, she became the nearest target for the 'scared civilians'. Once again, she found herself struggling to resist her impulse to silence them. Young, defenseless, crying. Bite, tear, s- shut up!
No, the dolls could touch her. She'd be a rock, a protector. That was her job. What couldn't happen was those flaming ones getting anywhere near her, though. Thinking fast, Hebi turned to face the largest group of the fiery dolls and placed her middle fingers and thumbs together.「The Social Distancer」activated, pushing the group back in a neat inverted cone shape. Together. If it worked, they'd be (at least temporarily) disabled and corralled. If it didn't, they'd be closer but it might still work. Hebi would just be a whole lot more exposed.
Next, equipping one of her wooden canes, Hebi took it in her tail and stretched out to a nearby fire hydrant. Using the extra reach and leverage of the cane, she'd try and rip the hydrant off the ground & water main that bound it in place. This would hopefully douse the area, creating a little safe zone for her and extinguishing the rapidly-melting baby-droids. If the cane was insufficient, she'd just have to expose herself more to rip this thing off with all her own strength. Again, not the safest move, but she had to trust in her plan here.
tl;dr - Safety net established - Where the fuck did all these babies come from, I saved one (1)? - Burning babies need to back off and cool off. - Step 1: 「The Social Distancer」is used to push 'em away and into a loose pile. - Step 2: The「Deck of Canes」is used (w/ tail) to knock/rip a fire hydrant out of the ground and unleash the water. - Awaiting results, post 1/2.

| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga Location: Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: summer nights are warm Now Playing: Queen - Sheer Heart Attack There would've been a scream, if Hebi were not certain that opening her mouth would've meant vomiting. Yep, little late on that one, thanks. Her incredible blunder with her choice of attack method had mostly been down to the fact that she hadn't seen/felt the first demonstration of the man's Quirk. Now, she was experiencing it first-hand. The 「Bad Vibes」wracked her body, and if it weren't for a hair-trigger impulse to push her main body back off the guy just as it started, that probably would've been it for her. Instead, Hebi was shaken, but the only part of her body really suffering was her tail. God, her tail! The vibrations were wreaking havoc on the packed muscle of Hebi's main weapon, causing it to only contract tighter and tighter around the man's body. If she didn't let go right fucking now, at least one of the two was going to die. Hebi didn't know which would be worse, but right now she didn't care. In a last-ditch effort before she lost all muscular control, her tail uncoiled from around the man with enough force to spin him in the air briefly. Then, Hebi stood back. Her tail lay around her, spasming. Nearly useless. A 240 lbs ball-and-chain, trapping her in place. For now, the serpentine girl could still strike, but was diminished.
Thankfully, she was correct in her assessment of the quicksilver woman's competence. A construct, of course! At times like this, she envied those with emitter Quirks who were able to do their work at range. Envy wasn't the dominant emotion right now though, it was gratitude. Awe. "Thank you for the warning. Sorry, my impatience could've endangered both of us. I can't really move from this spot until I recover, but I'll follow your lead otherwise."Notes: Strength at B- -> C+ -> C -> C- until recovered (couple posts), muscle control thing going on until end of next post I think.

| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga Location: UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Taking part in Armor Wars, Arena 3 if you wanna watch. Now Playing: Derivakat - Doomsday Well, that escalated quickly. As much as a situation can escalate from everything being on fire, anyway. Hebi lifted herself onto the roof of the building, just as the baby doll she'd been carrying had started to talk. And talk, and talk, and talk. Hebi resisted the non-zero urge to punt/launch the fake child into the flames. No! Bad! Not heroic thoughts. Her thoughts turned to Marlene, funnily enough. Did being artificial mean the entity was inherently less important or valuable? Not like these things were even remotely near her level, but the thought remained. Just as Hebi was going to head back down to street-level to participate more (what kind of hero just stood by in a situation like this, instead of trying to save people, even if it was the smartest move?), some much larger threats presented themselves.
What could she do, right now? Hebi wasn't a rescue hero, not by a long shot. She'd save people where she could, but she was too slow to get around and seek people out. She could see the faster, smarter heroes going for that already. No, Hebi was a tank. A fighter. A protector. If she could get in the way, be a shield against the villains, then hopefully lives could be saved that way too. Hebi didn't have time to think. If she let herself look at this pragmatically, she'd let that self-preseveration above all attitude she'd learnt creep back in. The scared, abused kid that she'd come here to prove she wasn't any more. No, now was the time for... ACTION!
Hebi 'equipped' the「Laser Cannon」. Bracing herself with her tail (in case, somehow, this light weapon had recoil), she fired the heavy weapon at the closest of the giants. Unless anything catastrophic happened, she'd then head down towards the oncoming titans on the ground below. She called out, shouting over the roaring flames. "Sweater-san, Acrobat-san! Keep it up! I'll try and keep them away from you, wish me luck!" The weapon, unless broken, was still in the serpent's hands. Let them come, she'd endure as best she could. She had to.
tl;dr - Takes the baby she has up onto the roof, leaving it there. - Fires the「Laser Cannon」at one of the giants.- Descends to the street, towards the big guys, 'on foot'. - "Ganbatte Miroru, ganbatte Amilia Pierce!" Jinx Sendo Orochi

Unclear, not that it mattered. She could smell it regardless. A predator must be able to spot opportunities and strike. Was that what she was? It doesn't matter.
As soon as the massive enemy was off-balance, she made her move. That serpentine limb, her signature weapon, struck out and ensnared the man's arms & legs. The former were pulled out from under him, if her strength was sufficient. Either way, she leaped towards the man, pulling her main body on top of him with hands and feet pressed against the torso. This kind of capture-focused fighting was certainly her specialty, but she was still just a student. "You are outnumbered. Yield, before your body is broken." A simple command, said with authority the young hero-in-training did not possess. Perhaps cocky, but the other woman seemed competent. If this backfired, Hebi just hoped she'd be able to salvage it. "Are you alright, ma'am? I am Nāga." She didn't turn to face her 'ally', but she hoped that short introduction would be sufficient. The whole speaking side of heroics was not her strong suit, not in the slightest.
Note: Little short, but hopefully it's enough to respond to. I fully expect this capture attempt to go poorly, have fun.

| Makitori Hebi | @winding.snake.nāga Location: UA, Tokyo, Japan. | Current Status: Taking part in Armor Wars, Arena 3 if you wanna watch. Now Playing: Pagan Fury - Flood Of Fire 'What am I doing here?'
This was a televised UAU event, Hebi's first. When it had been announced, she initially had no plans of taking part. If she was broadcasted for the world to see, she thought, then what if someone who knew Makihara Nagako all those years ago saw her now? Her appearance was incredibly distinctive, too much so for the 10 years of growth she'd had to change anything, really. But, a week or so ago, her friend and saviour had said something to push away those fearful thoughts. "Whether you like it or not, being a hero will shine a spotlight on you for the rest of your life. You were right to run away back then, but you're so much stronger now. Go show them what they'd have to deal with if they tried you. Show them that you're no longer afraid." So... now she was here. A strange device that held the keys to getting through this exercise was the only item in her possession. She stood in the white void, wearing her sorry excuse for a 'hero outfit' with pride. Little more than streetwear, really. Strangely, even though Hebi had been informed of the 'no quirks' thing before today, she felt nothing as the door to the room closed and the countdown reached zero. 'Huh, guess I'm not strong enough to nerf yet.'
As the white void faded to various shades of orange and red, there was no noticeable reaction from Hebi. She half-listened to the voice explaining the scenario, taking 「The Social Distancer」out of her menu and putting on the gauntlets/bracers. She realised that her big ol' laser cannon probably wouldn't be much use in this particular scenario, but the canes may also find some use. Speaking of lasers, she turned her head to Miroru as she spoke. "What, did you expect it to be kind?" She said, with no obvious sarcasm or derision. She'd never seen Rokuhane Miroru in action, so had no clue that there was another meaning to her complaint beyond the challenge's difficulty. "We'll get through this. We're all strong. Anyone who wants protection, on me. I'll protect you." With that, she focused in on something that her eyes had wandered to. Why weren't the roofs on fire? Hebi left Miroru to handle that fire hydrant, making her way as fast as she could (not very) to a two-storey house nearby.
In the spirit of fairness, Hebi wanted to avoid leaning on the pretty big advantage of her tail during this trial. Of course, it was her strongest limb, she couldn't not use it. If she tried that, she'd be stuck dragging around a 240 lbs weight attached to her back. She'd be immobile. So, she settled for only using her tail where she could otherwise just walk. With her Distancer-clad hands, Hebi utilised her still-considerable strength to bust down the door and see the also-burning interior of the house. Now, Hebi wasn't interested in the baby dolls. They earned her nothing, and this was clearly an exercise in self-preservation above all else. In a real scenario, the circumstances would be so much different. But, while inside the house, she might as well try to get the baby, right? She looked around for a minute or so, taking the mannequin with her if she could find it, then headed upstairs. Next step: find a window.
tl;dr - Apprehensive to even be here (the whole 'live broadcasted event' thing), but gonna do her best anyway. - Assessing the situation, takes out and puts on the gauntlets as the scenario is being explained. - deadpan_snarker.exe ( Miroru ) - Leaving Firefox to her business, time to get the high ground. - Busts a door open while wearing the gauntlets, slithering upstairs to try and get on roof through window. - Yoinks one (1) baby along the way if she can find it quickly. - No equipment activated yet.Jinx Amilia Pierce Sendo Orochi
