[ There's way too many ducks flying around. It's a good thing that Joluk has managed to obtain a decent bow with plenty of arrows. He's doing a pretty good job of shooting them.]

These things really are creepy.

[ He's shooting more of them. A few of his shots miss.]

Damn, I really did get rusty! I've been out of practice for way too long.

[ There are some more successful shots,then another miss.]

What the...?

Did that one just laugh at me?

[ A duck swoops towards him and he barely dodges it.]

Crap! That was way too close!

Jokuk! Do you need any help?

[video]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

Actually, yeah. This is a bit more than I can handle alone.

Oh my...

Are you alright?

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

So far.
They're good target practice.

[restoringpeace.livejournal.com]

I suppose they are. [ a small laugh. ]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

[ He's shooting some more ducks.]

It's a bit annoying when they laugh at me.

[ They don't have to touch him to use illusions.]

[restoringpeace.livejournal.com]

Oh my...

Are you sure you're alright? [ Even if they were cute duckies, this didn't look like a funny scenerio. ]

video

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

Well, that haven't touched me yet. I don't know how long that will last.

[ He's continuing to shoot them.]

[Chloé watches the scene quietly before offering his expert opinion. ]

Your aim needs work.

[Video]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

[ Sighs.]

I'm aware of that.

[ If he was aware of the illusions, he'd use that as an excuse. He's still hitting much more than he's missing.]

[Video]

[executionerrose.livejournal.com]

[Still… he is occasionally missing. ]

Be careful that none of those ducks actually touch you. It… isn’t pleasant.

[Chloé doesn’t really know about the illusions either or he would warn the other. He does know about the nightmares… those are difficult to miss. ]

[Video]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

[ He really needs the practice.]

Thanks for the warning. I'll retreat if they get too close.

That laughter is really distracting.

[Video]

[executionerrose.livejournal.com]

[Snarky comment 2 - GO! ]

If you would hit more of them they wouldn’t be laughing.

[Video]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

It's not like I could immediately adjust to their weird flying patterns.

[ He's sounds more annoyed with himself than with Chloé.]

Where'd that dog come from? It's laughing at me too!

[ The ducks are showing illusions of the Duck Hunt dog, laughing at him whenever he misses.]

[Video]

[executionerrose.livejournal.com]

[The Duck Hunt dog is something only he can see apparently. ]

… Dog? What dog?

I don’t see any dog around you. Only the ducks you missed hitting.

[Video]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

I must be seeing things. These ducks just get creepier and creepier.

Am I the only one hearing the laughter?

[ He looks and sounds worried.]

[Video]

[executionerrose.livejournal.com]

Laughter?

[That would be a yes. ]

You mentioned laughter before but I have never heard any.

Video

[namaste-jagat.livejournal.com]

There seems to be no end to them..

[Upon realizing just who it is in the video Agni becomes even more concerned. Joluk may be an excellent shot but there's just too many of them.]

Where are you?

Video

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

I'm at Destiny Islands.

Video

[namaste-jagat.livejournal.com]

I will get there as soon as I can!

Video

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

Okay!
Thanks!

I'll keep holding them off.

[Agni left his communicator on just in case as he went to procure a gummi ship. The docks were quite busy today as it seemed plenty of people we world hopping, in hopes of helping their friends and others. Finding one going to Destiny Island was a simple matter, and with the additional help they managed to arrive there shortly. Leaving the ship he hurried to find the other.]

Action

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

[ Joluk is concentrating too much on shooting the ducks, and avoiding their touch to notice anything else around him. There's also the illusions the ducks use to keep from being hit. His expression suddenly changes from frustration and fear to grief and horror.]

Aterui?...It's not real. The ducks are just screwing with me. It's not real.

[ He repeats the mantra in a choked voice. He trembles as he aims for what he sees as his deceased cousin, though anyone else would only see ducks. He's backs away as he makes a shot.]

Action

[namaste-jagat.livejournal.com]

[Finding a trail of previously defeated ducks, Agni follows them in hopes that Joluk will be nearby]

I believe.. I'm almost there.

[The fowl, are a surprisingly formidable opponent. Their illusions confound their victims and their numbers overwhelm. If it had been only one or two ducks, this battle would probably have been long since over. There's something about the voice over the comm that makes him hasten his pace. The illusions are wearing on his friend]

Action

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

This is too much for me!

[ The latest illusion is more than he could handle. He's decided to retreat. He doesn't know that Angi is nearbye. He heads for the school.]
