[22: Action]

[technologic]

[It's the Dark Hour, in which the number of Shadows is far higher than usual, and April can be seen around the city fighting them as she usually does.

Except she just seems to be... poking at them and watching them flinch away. Since April has recently started to give anything she touches a static shock, she's apparently testing out this ability on the Shadows. Which is why she's merely poking at them and shocking them.

She doesn't look particularly amused by this, but considering she hasn't really been able to touch anything lately, that isn't surprising. So she'll just be going around and giving any Shadows she comes across static shocks.]

[Meanwhile, fighting things the old-fashioned way.]

I hope this wears off.

[Action]

[technologic]

Hopefully. Even the freaking wooden spoon gave me a static shock earler. [And she zaps a Shadow that tries to sneak up on them.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

I miss cuddling.

[Action]

[technologic]

[Now she just becomes less grumpy and more upset.]

... S-so do I. And everything else.

But it's been around a week since this started, so maybe it might stop after this?

[Cause she really wants it to stop now.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

I hope so. It can't last forever.

[Action]

[technologic]

Y-yeah... And I've seen others act weird lately, so hopefully it's just one of those things the city likes to pull on us.

[She raises a hand towards a lower level Shadow, who promptly backs away and runs off.]

... This is at least good for scaring Shadows though, apparently.

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

[Amused:] You're quite fearsome, April.

[Action]

[technologic]

[Blink, blink. And then she giggles.] Yup, I guess I am. Shadows cower before me and all that.

[And she does just burst into laughter when another low level Shadow runs off when she was about to poke it.]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

I always knew you had it in you. [A Shadow, not as smart. gets skewered.]

[Action]

[technologic]

Hehe, thank you! It's great to see that I can make Shadows run away.

[Though she soon has to quickly dodge out of the way of an attack from a higher level Shadow, before summoning Nuts to Zionga it]

... Well, at least some of the Shadows.

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

[If it sticks around it's gonna get stabbed. :| ]

[Action]

[technologic]

[And then the Shadow got stabbed before it could attack again.]

... Ehe, I'm pretty lucky to have you here. Or else fighting these things wouldn't be easy.

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

We've been here a long time. They hardly pose a threat to us any longer.

[Action]

[technologic]

That's true... Though I hope we haven't jinxed it, and then next thing you know there's all sorts of new Shadows.

[She pauses, before looking up over at Caliban.]

... Plus, we haven't really explored that place entirely yet.

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

Should we take a look tonight?

[Action]

[technologic]

Yeah, sounds like a plan. Especially since that place is just throwing out Shadows right now, so it might be best to take a look.

[So to the tower?]

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling]

[To the tower! Bring it, Caliban.]

[Action]

[technologic]

[Aw yeah! Though despite being able to fight off the Shadows and going up the blocks, there's still a barricade on the fifth block, which April huffs at.]

... Huh, so we can't get any higher. That sucks.

[video]

[papermache]

I guess I made a good call staying home tonight. Sorry, Red.

[video]

[technologic]

[April blinks at her phone, quickly putting on some gloves before she holds it.]

Ehe, it's fine. Though luckily I've been wearing gloves when I touch things... Just hope this'll stop soon.

[video]

[papermache]

Least you two can get further without me anyway. Manage to get past the blockade yet?

[video]

[technologic]

Noooope. Blockade is still there and not letting us through.

[video]

[papermache]

I'm this close to just building bombs.

[video]

[technologic]

That does sound like a good idea.

[video]

[papermache]

Who knows if it'd work, but that's the point of trying!
