4th Cheer [Video]

[The video clicks on to reveal Sakurako all decked out in lacrosse gear, getting ready to head out of the dorms.  Her Persona, Maneki Neko, is floating right behind her.]

Hey, hey!  Is anybody else going out tonight to audition for the zombie movie?  It looks like a lot of fun!  I didn't know there were film producers and cameramen that could go out during the Dark Hour.  How come none of this stuff ever ends up on the evening news?

This isn't a question of trust or not. I'm just not sure this is a proper tactical decision.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

But I'm still so low level!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Just get your weapons, get behind me, and come on. We don't have time for this.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'm all set!

[She's got a lacrosse stick strapped to her back and is carrying a small bag filled with what appear to be wooden balls.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

... We're going to need to get you some real weapons. Ah well... into them!

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Right! Let's go!

[Sakurako enthusiastically pumps a fist in the air before following along behind Garvi.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ Garviel is like... a threshing machine. Reaping unlife with every swing of his blade, cool and reserved as he does so. Nothing seems to break this demeanor. ]

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're really good at this!

[To be fair, she's a pretty decent lacrosse player herself, and she's actually hitting most of the things she's aiming at. The problem's going to be when she runs out of little wooden balls.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I fear you may need to find yourself another weapon soon, lest we be overwhelmed!

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

But I don't know how to use anything else!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I can teach you. [ He knees a Zombie, then smashes the skull with the hilt of his sword. ]

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Isn't now kind of a bad time?

[Still chucking balls for the time being.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ Garviel takes a moment to unload a few rounds into Zombies, causing them to fall apart in a mass of torn meat. ]

I didn't mean this moment. Right now I'm just keeping you alive.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay! Thanks!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ Garviel, will kill, and kill, and kill, until an area is clear and safe for Sakurako, then sit down, covered in gore, looking at her. ]

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

[Sakurako flops down on a nearby bench, breathing heavily from the exertion.]

Wow... that was intense!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

You should get some rest. The Dark hour is over. Do you need me to carry you?

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh, can you do it bridal-style? I've always wanted someone to carry me like that!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

What style is that?

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

You don't know? Don't people get married where you're from, Garvi?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Of course they do. But nobody marries Astartes like me.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Awww, why not? You seem nice enough!

[LIGHTBULB]

Hey, I know! I'll help you get a girlfriend! It's the least I can do since you helped me out tonight!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

... A girlfriend?

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Yup! Just leave everything to me!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Very well. If you'll excuse me then?
