[b]Velo[/b] (me) heads Aifos for suggestions on how to tackle the situation.
English
-
You leave your room, and head through the Grand Hall to the Observation Deck. There you find Kokonoe and Aifos looking over a bunch of computers--whatever was on the several screens Kokonoe was looking over was far too technical, and complicated for you to make any sense of, but on Aifos' screen you could see a map of the city marked with several red moving dots, and several cameras to go along with them. he was likely overlooking the security drones. Both of them were too preoccupied with their work to notice you coming in. Tager and Theta were in the room as well, and both gave you a glance as you entered, but didn't say anything. Theta seemed rather shaken, but despite his brutish appearance, Tager seemed to be doing a good job of keeping her calm. Aifos was pretty distracted. You'd likely need to speak first if you wanted to talk to him.
-
Me- "Aifos! It is I. I've come for a debrief of the current mission. What is the best move we can make now?"
-
“We’ve done everything we can to prepare. All we can do now, is try to take on Venus and hope everything goes well. We think she’s holing herself uo in the garden again, and we have Rho there trying to break through her defenses.”
-
Me- "Thanks. I'll be heading to the garden then." *Puts on SFG and heads out*
-
Upon reaching the garden, you find Rho's soldiers patrolling the perimeter. In the center of the garden the vinestalk had gotten worse; now composed entirely of glowing blue veins. Several of Rho's soldiers immediately unleashed a hail of gunfire upon it, but it hardly put more than a scratch into it. "Damn it, how do you break this thing..?" Rho muttered under her breath.
-
Me-"Rho! How do you suppose we could destroy this?" *under breathe* "Maybe we could use explosives..."
-
"If I knew how to destroy it, it would be destroyed right now!" Rho snaps, before letting out an exhausted sigh. "Whatever, I'm supposed to give you these." She shoves a box at you, and inside seems to be some sort of hand-made grenades. [quote][b]You got Hydrofluoric Grenades![/b] Alignment created these after experimenting on on the blue veins. They should be able to stun any vein creatures you come across! Mind the blast radius, though; the acid inside will eat through you quite easily.[/quote] Just then, you hear Venus' voice ring through the air. "Well, look who it is. I think it's about time we get this party started, don't you think?" Suddenly, the vinestalk burst open, and dozens of glowing blue veins began crawling through the room. Rho's soldiers tried to fight them off, but were quickly overwhelmed, and they all got dragged back into the vinestalk, including Rho herself. "God d*mn it, not again!" Rho yelled, as she was dragged away. You were now in the room alone, only now there was a large opening in the vinestalk, inviting you inside.
-
Me- *heads inside*
-
As soon as you enter the vinestalk, the entrance closes behind you, and you find yourself in a room, that--unsurprisingly--is made up entirely of the same glowing blue veins that make up the vinestalk itself. You can see hints of something else forming, too, though. Small black stones, either inside the veins, or poking out through their sides. Only a few steps in, and the veins in front of you begin to shift, forming vaguely humanoid figures made of veins. They didn't have any legs, instead having veins making up something of a thick skirt connecting them to the ground. On their head were two black stones that vaguely resembled horns. If you were observant enough, you may have caught a brief glance at the large glowing eyes on the backs of their heads. One of them dove their arm into the ground, and pulled up a heavy slab of black stone that seemed to resemble a sword, but it didn't attack just yet. Seems you get the first move.

-
"Oh, trust me, they can understand you. Unfortunately for you, though, the feeling isn't mutual!" The one with the sword began charging for you, dragging its blade along the ground, coming in for an upwards swing!
-
Me- *throws grenades at floor and jumps away*
-
Jumping backwards, you only narrowly manage to avoid the swing of the blade, with it less than an inch away from your torso. Unfortunately, upon loosing a few of your grenades upon it, you found that you weren't so lucky there, as several drops of acid from within splash upon you causing severe burns. Thankfully, they only grazed you, so the burns weren't as bad as they could have been, but you'll likely need to be more careful with them in the future--unleashing them in close range is sure to turn out terribly. On the bright side, however, the creature took the brunt of the attack, and the acid was eating away at it, as well, causing it to be temporarily stunned. Its friend was not too happy about that, and its arms stretched out to slash at you from a distance.
-
Me- "Oof!" *runs towards plant-thing, slides to the left and attempts to shoot with Pew-pew.*
-
Though you manage to avoid the attack, you find your bullets doing very little. It seemed a frontal assault wasn't going to work, they must have a weak point somewhere. From here, you also manage to see an eye on the back of the head of the one with a blade.. Might not be a bad place to try and hit. However, it had recovered from its stun, and spins back around, obscuring the eye from your view. It begins charging towards you again, this time bringing the blade down from above!
-
Me-*Tries to dodge attack, turn around and shoot the eye.*

[spoiler]You’ll have to be more specific with your dodges. Backstepping? Rolls?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]rolling away, to the left and forward[/spoiler]

Edited by The First Aifos: 11/22/2021 3:55:57 AMYou swiftly manage to dodge out of the way of the blade, and land a clean bullet in the back of its head. It immediately tumbles forwards, and sinks into the ground. The other immediately let out a roar, and stretched its arms towards you again, this time for two wide whips reaching across the room. The creature was rather far away from you.
-
Me-*tosses a remaining grenade at the plant-thing* [spoiler]If I have any left.[/spoiler] "Take that!" *runs to other side of room*
-
[spoiler]Are you running towards or away from it?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Towards. Srry if I'm not specific[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]No worried. You're hardly the worst in that regard. Oh, and for the record, you still have plenty of grenades. As long as you don't spam them, they should last through the whole RP.[/spoiler] The grenade lands at its feet, and starts eating away at its skin. It stumbles backwards in result, allowing you to get close. However, the grenade didn't land close enough to entirely stun it, and the two elongated arms began swinging inwards, like a giant deadly hug!
-
Me-*looks surprised, bounds backwards and tosses one grenade again, hopefully far enough.*
-
Unfortunately, the arms were coming in from behind, and leaping backwards did little to avoid it. You were pulled in close, and the arms began to squeeze tighter, and tighter. It seems it was trying to crush you. Unfortunately, you were far too close to throw a grenade without hitting yourself.
