[ He grunts--both at his FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE miss, and the cut Sylvain manages to land on him. This is embarrassing. And now there's a fox in play? This is getting messier by the second, he has to get this done fast.
He attempts to punch the fox out of the way--with his left hand, thank you, can't set this arm on fire! And then he jumps back to get out of range of Sylvain's blade, and aims another shot. At the throat again, because he needs this one to be a quick, clean kill already. ]
I, I might know it, but it's going to take too long! Those two, they're...
[She looks back at them in alarm and then yelps when a shot rings out and -- Kazu gets hit!?
She runs over to his side.]
Kazunari, are you -- are you okay!? [Probably not, he just got shot.]
Your familiar... [A look at the poor fox, which is in the middle of this brawl.] Can you try burning the painting again? I'll use a barrier to block the demon. That way, it can't escape into another one!
[ the bullet rips through his side, sending him stumbling backwards against the wall, clutching at the wound. it takes a moment for him to catch his breath, and he only sort of parses what estelle is saying...
but he calls out to the fox, albeit weakly, as he points to where the shadow went: ] Burn that one.
[ if that doesn't work... he'll summon the big frog to get between bucky and sylvain instead. at the very least, it might buy them some time. ]
[ he'll try to avoid the fox best he can, but he's definitely not letting miklan ("miklan") get away. especially not after kazu gets hurts.
miklan takes aim again, and sylvain tries to duck and weave, and take him down before he can try again. (he's completely deaf to whatever's going on around them.) ]
[I am just preserving it here, forever, that Ray did not have to roll but still rolled a 2.
Anyway, Bucky and Sylvain are still fighting!
ATTACK rolls:
Bucky: 14 Sylvain: 4
Sylvain's strike swings wide and misses, but Bucky's shot hits him this time. Not quite in the throat specifically, but it hits the collarbone, tearing a nice hole in the skin there and cracking Sylvain's shoulderblade. That's going to need some serious attention soon!
Estelle's plan is a good one though. The barrier can be used to keep demons in as well as out, so the demon has nowhere to run when Kazu's fox jumps up and belches a fireball on it. A priceless painting was destroyed in the process, but the fire burns the demon good.
In the moments before it disappears, the demon will force one last nightmare vision onto Kazu, pulling from his memories to make Kazu see himself as refracting and distorted. For a moment Kazu will actually think he's starting to refract, but all of the hallucinations disappear as the demon burns away to nothingness.
From the ashes of the painting falls a lone piece of paper, untouched by the fire. It has the logo for the Starlight Hotel on it, but it is otherwise unreadable for now.
But uh. You guys definitely need to get to the nurse's office ASAP. Time to go!]
