HOMURA AKEMI vs. LITHUANIA

Weapons: Ramona Flowers and Kevin Smith
Location: Conquest School
Time of day: evening

The fight had been called into place on a few coincidences, really. Lithuania, eager to make sure he knew how to use all of the weapons he was looking after, had held his regular gun practice a little later than usual, and Homura happened to be nearby just in time to see him with the weapon. She'd challenged him; he couldn't bring himself to back down after such a direct declaration.

So here they were, meeting in the courtyard of Conquest school. Classes and other obligations had kept them both busy until the evening--the sun was just starting to set on the horizon. Maybe that made it more picturesque for a showdown, though.

Comments

[duchy]

Lithuania ducks into one of the empty classrooms, waiting silently in a corner.

[antitank]

She doesn't follow, instead waiting for him outside the classroom, behind the open door. There shouldn't be any doors leading outside, so he's trapped there.

[duchy]

Lithuania, realizing Homura must know where he is, casts about the room for options. There are the windows, of course, but he's sure he'd make enough noise climbing out of them for her to easily hear. He could charge out, but charging into a sword with a ranged weapon, even one with metal stuck to the end, is ridiculously stupid.

He settles for shoving desks out the door, sending them clattering to the ground, and making a run for it half around and half underneath them; she shouldn't have an easy time hitting him in the clutter, hopefully.

[antitank]

She is quick to get out of the way when the desks come flying out-- she slides in front of one, directly in Lithuania's path of escape. She swings the sword.

[duchy]

Lithuania darts back under the desk in question and then some, looking for another angle of escape.

[antitank]

She dashes forwards-- the hallways lead all around and she doesn't want to be running through the school, so she tries to herd him back where they came.

[duchy]

Lithuania attempts to duck out from under another desk--he'll fire as soon as he has enough room and then dart for the closest door.

[antitank]

She lets him go in that direction-- but she tags just a pace behind him, absolutely not giving him room to shoot. Homura winds up and swings again with the sword.

[duchy]

Lithuania changes tactics and rushes forward--if he can get close enough, not only will he hit her with the bayonet, using a sword of that size should be difficult.

The fact that the movement is erratic is helpful, too.
