Comments

Sakuya Tachibana | Kamen Rider Blade

[triggerhappytraitor]

-1-

You'd think that someone whose primary weapon was a gun would think to shoot his targets from afar, but instead, Kamen Rider Garren is in the thick of things, punching robots and only pulling his gun out to shoot when one of the bots comes charging at him.

Just be careful if you also come charging in. Being new to the area, Tachibana doesn't quite know who's friend and who's foe just yet and is far too prone to shooting first.

Finding a job was a difficult task, especially when there wasn't much left of Tachibana's former employer to get references from and when things kept happening that made him late for-- or entirely miss interviews.

Today had been especially bad for that, which is why he was sitting on a park bench in his best suit, motorcycle helmet in hand and shoulders slumped.

So, unfortunately for Tachibana, that park bench he was sitting on was immediately under a tree. And there was someone chilling up in that tree, eating a banana. Amazon had been there before Tachibana got there, otherwise he would have picked another tree. He also did not mean to drop the peel of that banana on Tachibana, but hey, banana peels are slippery little devils.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Tachibana bolted upright at the light impact of the banana peel, instinctively jumping back and reaching for his Buckle.

Only to stop and stare at the banana peel for a moment, hand falling back to this side before he looked up to try and find the source of the aerial bombardment. America didn't have monkeys in it's parks, did it...?

[gigigigigigi]

Amazon froze. He'd hit someone with that banana peel, and he had no idea if that someone was friendly. Maybe he'd get lucky, and this guy wouldn't see him...

Still, it's hard to miss a man wearing a loincloth up in a tree.

[triggerhappytraitor]

... no, no it wasn't.

Even if that sight left Tachibana utterly baffled and at a loss for a long moment.

"Good afternoon..." he finally offered for lack of any idea what else to say. Or if the person in the tree even knew English, for that matter.

[gigigigigigi]

"After-noon," Amazon repeated. It was not a word he was entirely familiar with; the way he haltingly pronounced it spoke of as much. But at least this man did not seem to want to fight?

[triggerhappytraitor]

Well, that was promising, at the very least. "Not a local, I assume?" he asked with the awkward smile of a man who was not very used to small talk.

Or talking to mostly naked men in trees at the very least...

[gigigigigigi]

Amazon cocked his head to one side. "Not local." He tried to think of what to say next, and he gestured at himself. "Amazon."

[triggerhappytraitor]

"That's where you're from?" Tachibana guessed. If that was true, how did that man get here?

...and for that matter, why was he even having this ridiculous conversation?

[gigigigigigi]

"Amazon." Amazon gestured to himself again, because he was trying to make introductions. Even though yes, he was actually from the Amazon. Maybe Tachibana would take the introduction hint.

[triggerhappytraitor]

"...Your name?" Tachibana frowned slightly.

Riders were often the types to hit their enemy before they decide shooting them. Even the ones that use his Drivers were more inclined to punching first, shooting maybe last. Joji watched, dodging what bots that were close by but not actually getting involved with disabling them too soon.

After all, he wanted to make sure that they were a Rider and not someone just wearing a suit like one.

Sorry for the delay, net died in a bad way

[triggerhappytraitor]

It took a bit before Tachibana noticed the figure seemingly lurking in the chaos. The person controlling these robots? Or just a bystander? It was hard to tell when there were so many bots that were taking his attention.

He dodged another bot, rolling out of range, his back to the bystander before pulling out a card from his Rouzer and swiping it.

"Bullet".

With an almost casual aim he began firing, sweeping his arm across to strike as many bots as possible at once.

that's okay :3

[forgottendecade]

Joji dodged another bot, turning from an attack and bringing his fake arm around to catch it in its midsection. The bot flew back and he cracked his knuckles, feeling the not-so-pleasant tingle of energy building up inside of the circuitry. He looked over at Tachibana, smiling faintly when he saw him use a card from a Rider's Deck. That made three of them in this city, a rather large number considering that there were not that many rifts inside the city proper.

The bots decided that he was distracted enough so moved in to attack. Joji sighed and slammed his fist through the body of one, and then chucked it at a neighboring bot.

"Irritating. You would think that they would build them from better materials."

[triggerhappytraitor]

Tachibana glanced over, continuing to fire. What kind of comment was that? Bad enough that there were so many of these things (even worse that he wasn't used to fighting against a group!) but the thought to make them stronger? Utterly ridiculous!

As in response, he turned away, running at another cluster of bots, still firing until he was close enough to go back at it melee style once more.

I never realized the sword had a name. I should not be surprised it does :D

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[The additional sound of combat caught Tachibana's attention and he glanced over, frowning behind his mask. Someone else fighting? Such an annoyance! He had this! With an irritated motion, he opened the fan of his Rouzer, pulling out Bullet and swiping it across before letting out a round of shots to try and blow back more of the seemingly endless wave of robots.]]

Thank goodness for the wiki else I'd have never known :)

[triggerhappytraitor]

"Get out of here before you get hurt!" Tachiabana yelled, letting out another round of shots. Armored or not, the other fighter was just going to get in the way!

I keep defaulting to paragraph mode, sorry 'bout that... ^^;;;

[triggerhappytraitor]

Then stay out of my way!

[[Another round of shots before he's back into the fray, melee style. If it had been just one, he could have been done already, but all his finishing moves were useless for situations like this. Undead rarely teamed up and the only time there had been a swarm his buckle had been broken and he had been unable to do much of anything. Even just thinking about it added to his anger, making his swings a bit more wild.

Which of course left him open for an attack coming from behind.]]

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Tachibana turned, seeing Eiji coming at him, and for a brief moment, he panicked, aiming at the other Rider before spotting the robot that was seconds from hitting him and turning to aim his fire there instead.]]

I can just hear the combo song starting up now LOL

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Tachibana jerked back at the voice from the scanner, turning to stare at the changed armor, only then even noticed the belt. Another Rider...? That wasn't a BOARD buckle, that much he was sure of!

The motion of another robot caught his eye and he hurriedly shot at it. This was no time to be wondering about something like that! Whatever this other Rider was doing, it was of no matter!

He hoped.]]
