It depends - it might still have worked if the creatures touching you were easily scared away by sound, for example.

I think I saw another hypothesis that it was more of a social thing, though.

Mm... that makes more sense.

Anyway- evolutionary purposes of being ticklish aside, I still need to catch them for putting me in that position in the first place!

Planning to take them out?

You aren't?

Of course I am.

But is this revenge, or are you starting a kill count?

It's probably both, isn't it? It looks like they're all causing trouble like this.

Mm... fair.

Do you need to go home and get a weapon, first?

Nah, I don't really have weapons. But these should be enough for me.

[Pulling a bag of large marbles out of his pocket!]

Marbles?

Mm. If I throw one [miming throwing] and hit a monster hard enough to injure it, I can pull it back to me [drawing his arm back again like he's pulling on a rope or a string] with my unit's power/

You're on SensitIV, aren't you?

Yeah, that's right.

What power does that?

"part of your Property." It's one of our new ones - we can pull people who are injured towards us for healing.

...huh. Interesting.

I didn't know every team had changes.

Seems that way. Some of our powers were consolidated into a single one, so we ended up with space for two new ones. But- shall we?

Mm, alright.

Let's get started.

[Fortunately it's not exactly hard to find imps around - Izanagi manages to nail 3 with marbles and drag them over to himself to catch without consequence!]

[He takes out two, himself - pulls a knife from where it's tucked into his belt and slashes them apart with no visible consequences]

[Down go two more! No consequences either, but one of them drops an eye.]

[Here]

So they can give us surprise dye jobs, too... Or bleaching in this case.

[Messing with his hair a little, even seeing the white in his peripheral vision is strange.]

Do you mind if I feel it? Does the texture change at all?

Huh? You can check if you want.

[It's just the color, his hair is the same level of fluffy as usual.]

[ petpetpetpet]

Aha~ it's still very soft...

People keep telling me that.

[ ruffle ruffle ruffle. ]

Usually dyeing hair is so rough on it. Ah, let me know if this is too much.

I'm more or less used to it by now. Rutherford couldn't keep his hands off of it during one of the games.

[Here]

[He can't help but look over at the motorcouch again as they walk inside.]

Do a lot of people buy weapons like that?

[ the motorcouch is a LOT of fun. ]

I'm not so sure. Maybe?

See anything you li~ke~?

[Motorcouch is clearly the superior vehicle.]

Lots of things, but we're sticking to motorcycles, right?

[Even if the helicopter looks super cool too...]

We don't necessarily have to. It's usually my go to vehicle, since it's small and quick, but if you see something else you think might be fun let me know.

[Sssssslowly turns to look at the helicopter before wrenching his gaze back to the motorcycles. No!! He must focus!!!]

I want to get rid of those monsters, so let's go with the motorcycle for now! ...But next time, can we take the helicopter?

[ IT'S HARD TO RESIST THE CALL OF THE TEMPTRESS, ISN'T IT! ]

Sounds good to me. [ covers a chuckle as she heads over to the motorcycle, so she can move it onto the teleporter pad. ]

And absolutely! We can take one hell of a tour of this place and, IDK, do some cool stunts too.

You can do stunts with it?!

[Izanagi focus--]

I'm holding you to it! Once the imps are gone, we've got to try it out!

[But he'll be good for now, following her over to the teleporter.]

I mean... driving recklessly is kind of a stunt... [ looks aside and tries not to laugh. ] but I have been trying. I can definitely do stunts with some of my other vehicles and I do still have that sick ramp still sitting around from that Live I did.

And good. Please do. I need more cool and fun people in my life. [ she makes the purchase for the whip and then hits the button so the bike gets sent to the garage. ]

Unfortunately the teleporter doesn't teleport people, which is lame, so we'll have to take my aibou down, but let me just send him to grab our newest toy. [ the whip, which she does. ]

Ah. Sort of a "it's close enough to count" situation?

[He does that all the time with self-care so it's a mood.]

It figures it couldn't be that convenient though... but alright!

[Time to go collect Whip and avenge themselves upon the imps!!!!]

It sure is. [ she's going to laugh. ] I feel like a lot of what I do falls into that category.

[ once they're in the garage she climbs aboard the bike and curls her tail around izanagi to secure him in place. ]

[Good because he's going to need to maintain a certain amount of distance so he can swing the whip properly without whacking her with his arm.]

Let's do this!

[ she'll also be leaning down, so she doesn't have to worry about getting hit. revs the engine and heads out, speeding towards the park. ]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiincoming~!

[Wowee that's so many imps!

And since they were all grouped together so neatly, they're all going poof with a single good swipe of the whip.]

Yeah, looks like this will work!

Fantastic! [ she gives a sort of unhinged laugh as she speeds towards the next bunch of them. ] We'll cut their numbers in no time like this!

[>Concern.]

That's the power of teamwork for you!

[He'll still go ahead and swipe at any imps they pass by tho, that's going to need to get done either way.]

[Here]

Even while we're under cover, we'll need to make sure they don't just sneak up on us from behind, so we might want to have one person watching the entrance and the other on guard.

[If anyone's going to outsneak them, it would be these imps.]

You got it, dude. You wanna be lookout, or imp spy?

I can be imp spy!

You got it, dude. Keep an eye on em, I got your back.

[And he'll turn himself around to keep watch on the door]

[Keeping watch! No super sneaky imps so far...

There is some imp activity nearby, though. Will they go into the building?!]

[Coast is clear on this end. Nothing sneaking up on them so far]

[A gaggle of imps does begin to approach the store after a while, pausing in front of the doors...

And then simultaneously turning their heads towards Hurricane and Izanagi like some kind of bloodhound scenting out prey.

Welp.]

[Whispers]

Don't look now, dude. We got incoming.
