Left or right... assuming he'd go left first the obvious choice would be right.
Stampeding towards the right, even thought there isn't quite a clear point to make routings at. The more profficient note was to check the surroundings furthest, each henge was at a distance away from each other at least 3 to 4 meters of space, One could atleast see what is ahead of them.
It's now 9 minutes. I still have some time left... is going right even doing anything?
Mori runs hastily through the open path between henges, he's looking left, right, front and even back. At any signs of kirino's presence. The only thing that makes him win is to at least see kirino fully, head, waist to bottom. A single small part of himself being seen won't count for that.
He's still running. Running and running gasping for air, but still determined by pure confidence. He wants to win this round and take the win for this little game of theirs, who knows what the chronological order of fate would this make up.
This is wasting my time! Going rightbwas a mistake all along. Going left... why do i have to waste my time running all the way to there?!
He takes a turn to the left, sprinting even faster than before, it's now down to 8 minutes he hasn't found anything, no sign's at all. His mind is now fueling with pure frustration trying to find him. His constant location now shifts from being the right side towards the middle sections, he still runs now at 7 minutes and 43 seconds.
Left it is! This is troubling as fuck. Once we hit the ability mark i'm going all out! Really! Really! I am goin---
*Thump*
Shit!
Mori trips over a raised piece of the ground, looking at it. Why the hell is that there in the first place. This is a waste of time he thought of as he dashed towards the left direction.
Even the scenery beyond here, theres nothing. Left. This is messing with me!
He stops whilst mid-run causing him to drift almost crashing himself into a henge, as he carefully breaks down the tension stopping his speed causing a mist of dust to envelop shortly after, turning around he glances at the further end.
Tch!
Scoffing he run forth back to there towards the middle, this has got to be a set up or something. He had been running for quite some time already using somewhat half of it.
6:53's thats how much time he had left. Keeping his arms steady as he ran fast. Avoiding any unwanted collision with any of the henges. He was halfway towards the entrance of the mid-area. The path of division.
Stopping there, he relaxes himself taking breaths and focusing on the objective. Finding where the hell he is. Scouring the very surroundings of tall and short henges of stone. Blank pieces of architecture. They were blocking his way, but his eyes being already adapted to this by short, focus steadily.
He... no.... wherever he is, it's now pointing to the obvious.... he's not running around. He's... HE'S... HE'S HIDING SOMEWHERE! AND I'VE WASTED ABOUT THE SECONDS UP UNTIL THE 4:20 MARK!
His teeth gritting as he points his finger around the directions surrounding him,
He screams out.
I know your here kirino!
Your not just running your hiding aren't you?!
Wait...
This is the point of hide and seek...
Why am i screaming all this nonsense, this is foolish. I'm making myself look like a fool.
Complaining about someone hiding instead of running in hide and seek. Would that even be plausable in tag? He is following the rules. I'm just making things more confusing.
This place, the only hiding spots i could think of, are that of running between and behind the henges, and staying up top. Although if you can climb thats what makes it obvious
But could he actually climb? Without his ice abilities of his? What are some instances he actually used his hind legs?
-----------
[It's too hella work! This is why i was gifted with ice abilities!]
Kirino pouts at mori, the two standing outside of a large building, they argue as to why he won't climb from the outside.
[Cmon! It's just 2 stories! What? Are you a--]
He's gone. He suddenly dissapeared, how come? How so? He quickly gazes up.
[Wait? How did you?]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, a magician never tells his secrets]
[YOUR NOT EVEN A MAGICIAN!]
-----------
He can climb.
Grabbing onto the sides of the henges with both arms he pulls himself up quickly, raising each arm to an upper area as he descends.
There he reaches the top of the henge, standing up there he feels the wind breezes through, the scenery was obviously expected. Countless numbers of stone henges from distance from his point.
He's somewhere here!
*3:54's*
Skipping from one surface to another, i hurriedly scoured my surroundings once again, this was absolutely frustrating, i wan't to win this! And take the win! And after that, that could be where real things start happening. My body doesn't care how exhausted it is. Purely my confidence is the reason i'm still running as i am.
Damn him for setting the mark to 1:30!
This is insane!
What the hell is his plan?!
His complaints turn to rants, as he still skipped from one henge to another. He's passing 3 henges each second and aiming his senses towards everywhere still. No sign of him whatsoever. It's allTheres a matter of time till he trips and falls down.
*Crumble*
---!
*PLOP*
"GAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! HAHAHAHA!"
WHY YOU?!
without any second thought he rushed over to the direction of which those laughs came from. He was being mocked, mocked from the sidelines as they watched on in satisfaction, if he was being watched from the top then he was in the bottom. He knew it for some reason, although he kept his words to his mind, how was he able to read his mind.
*3:22's*
GRAAAH!!!
chasing the sound of the voice helplessly, staggering at each step he charges forward to the direction he felt kirino could be, his taunts echoed from the distance.
---?
Is it just me or is it foggy the more i get closer to the voice?
The atmosphere changes drastically, from the moments he was getting near mori's vision was getting more nearsighted and less far reached than ever. There'd be no way kirino could use his ice abilities to make this. He had other ways to do this, even i knew simple things. Who else doesn't know the laws of dust?
He paced his sprinting even more faster than before. Now stepping 3 steps for second *3:00's* was now the mark as mori was still sprinting towards the laughs from ahead.
"Ahahahahahahah! Ahahahahahahah!
Come at me mori! This ain't now trap! I am here!"
Bastards now taunting me with lies! His voice is much closer now thanks to my running, can't believe i can count that moment a part of leg day. Still i can't see from this dust! He must have knocked some of the henges down.
His sillouhette should be what i'd be focusing at. Nothing else, just running and tackling. Still how is his vouce everywhere?!
"Ahahahahahah right over here!"
"Actually it's left!"
"Who knows!"
Would he ever shut up, i'd been running for 30 seconds now. Tackling every direction that voice came from. How fast could this imbecile be? Even without skating on ice is this even remarkable? Remarkable enough to give this a nobel prize? How shallow.
*huff* *puff* *huff* *puff*
Mori squats down breathing out his exhaustion, he stood there. Predicting kirino's next move *2:30's* to be precise at that moment. A whole minute later then its easy for him to say the least.
"Listen up Ya--
Thinking about it, i should save that call for another moment...
"Yo! Kirino!"
"If your not deaf then good luck after a minute later! Let's see how things will go from there!"
*2:19's*
Silence. Of course he'd not have the retarded cells to respond to this, but atleast he could have heard it per se. Still i just stood there waiting for the next move. Infact i didn't knew what else to do but wait till 1:30's have reached the clock. It's better to check around the surroundings whilst waiting for this time to shine.
He began running, running all around the area. In search for kirino or any signs of him.
His running peaked as he was able to circle around a large section twice. Still no signs of him it's clearly foggy he still can't make put anything ahead nor near. This is impeccable, in a matter of seconds he could get jumped without a seconds react.
It was still a matter of time till he no longer has an upper hand, still the phrase repeats running. His mind focused on the sole demand of winning this round, he is in no sense of direction only following the taunting voice echoing through the vast.
"1:45's, IT'S COUNTING!"
GRRRAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!
Mori pulled out a pistol from his pocket, aiming it simultaneously at any direction he thinks his voice would go through, he yells out warning kirino.
"1:42 seconds! I'm holding it! I'm holding it!
1:40 seconds! I'm blasting you through those rocks!!! I'm waiting!"
----
It's silent, 2 seconds have passed it felt like the longest. Shit! How the hell is that even sayable? Commenting how it felt that long about 2 seconds. Great! Now one second passed. My thoughts aren't sources of entertainment i have that be known.
1:39's i'm standing here at the silent waves of emptiness, gripping tightly the gun i have in my hand with my two hands, he has yet to appear, bastard has yet to appear. It's just the two of us. No other else, everybody else that was with us....
*1:35's*
His eyes focus on the possible directions for an attack or any route he might take. Knowing him he'd most likely take to the left. Thats for sure he would take it.
*1:30's*
It was the mark. It had finally ticked at that exact same moment. There wasn't any other objective to move for. That was for sure.
*rumbling*
He's!
His hands shifting direction as if he had knew from the start. A direction he never mentions but it was the most likely.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
RIGHT OVER---
*SHATTER*
---GUH?!
It was ice?! This is---
----!
My legs! It won't budge! Somethings holding it in place. I should turn around---!
He can't move. He seriously can't move his neck his head his body he can't move it for some reason. Aside from the blinding fog he can't even see further anymore.
How?!, how?! How am i stuck in place. I feel something holding me down. It's cold all of a sudden. No. It was cpld the entire time! I was to distracted to even notice. Aside from that excuse the closer i look i could see my bodyparts a little bit opaque.
THIS IS CLEAR ICE! CRYSTAL CLEAR!
I'VE BEEN OUTSMARTED AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT.
- - -
He lays down in such a small enclosed space. It was all but looking claustraphobic
He never minded a single bit. He lays there observing his sense of hear and feel.
"Tch! The upper grounds shaking! Bastard can't even stay put even once!"
Kirino murmurs at himself pissed by such a lousy outcome. Clusters of loamy dirt was slowly falling over him fuelling his rage even more. To put it more clearly he was hiding.
"Can't believe he fell for it. What a wuss"
He giggles at that thought, it was now 1:10's at the clock. He should confront him to make things more interesting.
" 10, 9 ,8 ,7 ,6 ,5 ,4 ,3 ,2 ,1"
"1 minute, just give me 5 seconds and i'll head up there."
- - -
*Rumbling*
It's him! He's coming out from behind. Damn! This was his trick!
Kirino emerged from the ground, he stood there staring at mori from behind as he greets.
"Well, well, well! Look what we have here! You like my mind blowing war tactics?"
You! Where the hell were you all along?!
"That answer is pretty obvious, you'd make it out of special ed if you figured it out."
You hid underground? Thats your answer by the looks of it.
"Bingo! That's right! You thought i was hiding up top? Or running around like a maniac? Those were your first thoughts."
Tch!
"Anyhow it's about 43 seconds till the end. You might as well savor the moment while i shut you up"
WHY YOUU--
Kirino quietly shuts mori up by forming ice using the help of the right amount of mist surrounding them, He recently figured out he could do this, i'm pretty sure mori is too overwhelmed with rage to even notice this.
"Ha-ha-ha besides that, i've got to say you've got quite the mind over there running around all places. Yes indeed i was hiding underground"
Kirino talks behind mori his face panning near him to give him a better clear hearing to his words.
"Nothing can change the fact that i won! I won!"
"I won! I won! I won! I won--
*31 seconds i can still do one thing!*
---?
*BANG*
A shot fired, echoing through the air. Kirino stumbles pressing onto his forehead. The summoned bodyguard proceeds to fire at the ice covering mori.
"Hell no! Your not!"
*WHIIIISSSSHHHH*
Kirino flashes ice at the bodyguard shooting at mori. Mori's eyes focused purely on him as he stationed two mori at a distance he can't notice.
*This could work. Although i can't bring in more at this state the best i could do is focus my state onto making 3 more appear. For now 24 seconds and 2 currently summoned is all i need for the glimpse to end this round*
"MORI! I KNOW YOU SUMMONED MORE---
RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT---
SWWWIIIIISSSHHHHHH----
*Whats even happening? I can't really tell but he's struggling from the sounds of it.
Any time now i can be freed. Just have to figure out where he might run off next.*
*CRACK*
THERE!
*SHATTER*
he was finally freed, immediately he dashed out fastily looking around the area his summoned men scattered around looking for him, 15 seconds currently remaining. This was now either a hide or shoot scenario. The hunter and the prey but this time the hunter is multiplied by any means given.
*Any sight of him does not also means he's gonna lose. In fact alongside losing he's getting bullet holes on himself.*
Mori walks along the corridor, looking at the ground he see's some footprints, he then follows. Where could he be going at this point? Was there anywhere to hide? Was there anything else he could do? He stares forward as he said his replies to the presence behind him.
"This is it"
Mori stands infront not looking behind.
"Hm? You got something in mind"
Kirino smiles
"Not really... but your the one's to say that"
"Whats on your mind?"
Mori repeated smilingly
"Might as well get this over with. 4 seconds to go"
"SO THEN BE IT!"
" End of the line " " End of the line "
End....
