PHASE III [ Whatever that thing is, it's freaky and not natural, of course he'll try to fight it. If you can fight, that's good! The more the merrier. If not, that's fine as well, just take cover and watch him kick its ass. It takes hits, he can cut off pieces of it just fine... He was enjoying this for a while with a grin on his face.
But there's a point where that smile of his fades; the mass of data hungry... Something actually catches his sword and tries to take and absorb it into it's pixelated, distorted body. That sword is technically him as a tsukumogami, and feeling like you're about to be eaten is really, really unpleasant. He jumps back before it does take it, looking horrified. ]
What the hell is it...?
[ Under most circumstances he'd fight to the end, but this can be that one exception because god damn it's creepy and not what can be considered a part of normal circumstances. Still, he's hesitating as it approaches (and will deny it).
Please drag him away from that thing, before he really is eaten. ]
PHASE IV [ When this awful ViViD seems to calm itself down with the unnerving stuff, and it's hard for this place to ever seem less chaotic because this place looks like a broken sci-fi environment gone wrong...
Oh, the whole place seems to do a 90 degree turn. Or maybe the gravity got switched to sideways. Goodbye proper physics, we'll miss you. Nagasone is lucky and lands on what is now a ledge without too much pain. For anyone who wasn't that lucky and is about to fall because a flat plane is now a steep one until you splat into a wall, Nagasone grabs them before that, hopefully by the arm or hand. ]
Got you!
[ Thank goodness for swordsmanship reflexes and having the bara muscles to make pulling someone up not too hard. ]
BONUS [ Well at some point during his wandering apparently ViViD decided to do its weird goof on his data. Or rather, goofs plural. For starters, he's sporting a pair of tiger ears, twitching at every sound. Normally he's a tall guy and something silly like that wouldn't bother him. He looks at what he hopes is a reliable reflection, some window to a building that's pretty clear. ]
Now I'm an actual fake tiger-- Hey, what?!
[ However, it's goofs plural, because Nagasone is smaller now, and that bothers him for some particular reasons: his beloved haori did not shrink with him, and neither did his vessel. So now, he has an oversized shinsegumi coat and handling an uchigatana isn't as easy at this size. Catch him trying to roll back his sleeves or struggle to climb up something (to get his height back) with a sword in tow, he'll just force a bitter smile. ]
Laugh if you want, I'm going to make whoever did this pay.
[ Those are the eyes of small child ready to cut someone. ]
