Art's Sake [mod]

[Kyle Shibata]

Kyle grumbled rather furiously as he wandered into the Art Gallery section of the museum.

The hell am I doing, doing that butterball favors? he growled to himself.

Phoebe had begged him to take on a little errand for her and he normally would've been okay doing a paid job... until she told him it was out in the western ruins. And what it was.

"Taking care of paintings?! Is he completely mad?" he growled.

She wanted him to go to the art gallery and check on the paintings there. Apparently the butterball had been visiting the place every now and then in order to take care of the paintings. Dusting them and covering them in sheets and the like. Damn idiot was wasting her time there, in Kyle's opinion, the only good being that she was apparently raking up practice fighting. Kyle liked art too, but he really didn't think he'd care to put his neck on the line for it. If Phoebe did, that was her problem, kudos to her but no thanks.

He looked around. Surely, many paintings were covered in sheets, very likely by Phoebe. The museum itself was in a pitiful condition; dirty, accumulating more and more rubble daily and full of Shadows. Seemed like a good training ground...

...as long as he didn't damage any paintings. He didn't want to deal with the wrath of the butterball if she saw any paintings damaged.

(( OOC: *snorts at the Shadow name* XD Nice one, Eri ))

He whipped around when he heard the crackle of debris being trod upon. Of course. A Shadow. Pretty big feller, as well but Kyle wasn't worried. He smirked a bit.

"C'mon you fatass, let's dance."

He swung his axe down off his shoulder and proceeded to chop the floating card that appeared in half. Sitri leaped into the air with a roar and spread its wings. A lashing of darkness swelled around the Gigas and then tightened around it like a noose, staggering the Shadow. It righted itself just as Kyle closed in with his axe and raised its massive fist, bringing it down towards him.

Kyle side-stepped suddenly and the thundering blow hit nothing, cratering into the floor and cracking the marble tiles. And Kyle just spun around and his axe cut a deep swath into the Shadow's side with a sound like crunching wood. He jumped back almost immediately.

"Zio!"

The thunderbolt made the Shadow reel back, but didn't produce the kind of super-pained reaction Shadows did when they really didn't like what they got hit with and Kyle narrowed his eyes. So neither dark nor lightning was on this thing's shit list. Oh well.

"Get 'im, Sitri!" he snarled and the leopard Persona pounced.

The leopard swung its paw and the loud thunk of a blade coming down echoed in the air. The Gigas staggered backwards and dissolved into bits.

"And that's that..." Kyle said with a smirk.

[Erithania]

The battle has ended.



Even if you could never appreciate art.

[Kyle Shibata]

With the Shadows taken care of, Kyle huffed and got to work. He had promised to do Phoebe that favor and anyway, he kind of saw her point. Some of these artworks were pretty good and from the looks of some, they were priceless in terms of historical importance... or something. After all, she'd only asked him to cover them up with sheets and make sure none of them were damaged.

He threw sheets over some, peeked under others to make sure they were undamaged, moved some debris out of the exhibition rooms and then had a little lark around to see the museum proper. He'd never really been here since moving to Mosaic and now that he got a look at the place, he kind of regretted it.

With that done, he headed on out of the museum and back home.
