CAPTIVE GAME: LiliS & Eichi
[ You're in a room with no doors or windows, about the size of a living room. Depending on how many of you are around, it might feel a little cramped. The walls and ceiling are draped with fabrics, the floor covered in colorful rugs and piles of sitting cushions, but you can see the dirt ground and untreated wood walls peeking through in places. There are three or so oil lamps to light the space, each placed on a stump-like round little table that isn't big enough to hold much else. It's kind of cozy, but...
Most of the cushions are embroidered with an array of colors, but there's one pillow in particular, set aside from the rest, that's one solid color – Iris's position color. ]

2/2
retractable staff: out
juniper tree: on
Eichi is forcibly ejected from his seat.
The staff whips around with a slight whine of air before it connects with his midsection and sends him flying against the wall. ]
Re: 2/2
[ She's gone from listening to him shout about being untied and working with the smell of onions to hefting the axe high above her head at a moment's notice.
There was something in his hand when he was knocked aside--whether or not it's still there, that's what she's going for, to disable him in the most unkind way possible, to the arm she thought he was using; dropping the head of the axe in a wide arc down and into one of his shoulders, deep enough and just at the right angle to sharply dig into his wing.
goodbye wing hello one winged angel ]
no subject
Amaranth flinches; her body moves on its own in time with her and Edelweiss. Heedless of the axe, she lunges for Eichi to grab his gun hand, using the chance Edelweiss's axe opens as a painful distraction to twist his arm up and around. She forcibly drops all of her slight weight into a knee against his stomach, her slender fingers tight over his to jam the barrel of his own gun between his teeth. ]
no subject
He can't speak, with the barrel of the gun between his sharp teeth, but he isn't sure... he would speak much. The arm near his chopped shoulder falls limp, his other arm twisted painfully as he's taken down and one of his wings falling off of him completely.
He doesn't fight any more, brows knitted as he tries to AT LEAST look angry as tears spill down his cheeks.]
no subject
[ should he really be complaining about that??? One of Coriander's many talents along with 'almost dying' is 'ignoring the pain'. Which does not help him not feel it but it does allow him to give one liners after being shot. ]
no subject
flame piecegun, all of that is just efficiency, soldiers moving swiftly into place, exactly as she would expect.Amaranth straightens from her stance. ]
Keep him secured, please. [ Her voice is gentler when she speaks to Edelweiss and Cypress. ] I'll start seeing to Coriander.
[ Then, sharp again as she addresses Eichi— ] He was right after all, it seems. We should have just broken your wrists.
[ ...and time to rush to Coriander's side to take out the medical kit she now always carries with her, in case of Coriander Emergencies. ]
no subject
She doesn't pull the axe free—it keeps him pinned and... well, it'd be messier otherwise. ]
...you...
[ Listen once the dumb boy is taken care of she'll be impressed with Eichi or something. Maybe not quite impressed, but close. ]
no subject
amaranth told them to keep him there, so she stays, easing up just slightly on the gun so it's not shoved into the back of his mouth anymore. ]
no subject
He's just not going to move right now. Is it shock???? He's not sure because if it were he shouldn't hurt so much, right? His tail moves slightly, looking like a silver snake on the ground, and the single wing attacked to his back twitches, but other than that he just goes boneless. He can't really surrender verbally!!!
He WILL try to push the barrel out of his mouth with his weird silver forked tongue though.]
no subject
(also, taking the gun entirely out of his hand, you lost your gun privileges sir) ]
no subject
[ can one sound so disappointed with being shot as this guy ]
no subject
[It's REAL HARD. TALKING AS HE IS.]
I'm not about to just. Sit here and take whatever you were planning on dishing out.
no subject
We were planning to create the illusory smell of onions.
Make no mistake that you chose this for yourself. By your own hand on the gun.
no subject
And so if you were held captive during a game, you would sit there patiently and await your opponent's first move? I can't even use my powers.
And before you ask- yes, I do think it's stupid to trust each other.
no subject
[ staring at him, closely. At his mouth. ]
I see. You're not a person after all...
no subject
Just because I'm not 'human' anymore doesn't mean I'm not a 'person'.
no subject
A person shouldn't-- wouldn't... do something like that. At least, I don't think so.
...
They shouldn't.
no subject
[The... tears start anew as he grits his teeth and tries to turn his head so she DOESN'T SEE.]
Next time you are captive, sit there and take whatever your captors want to give you, then! Prove your humanity!

She... kind of... gets it... not the last part, but the first. ]
I suppose this was to be expected.
no subject
[Even if that someone has an axe. In his body. And dropped one of his wings.]
no subject
[ Not like that's gonna help, though. Whenever it seems like there's a good moment, she's going to pry her axe free of his body, though she doesn't turn away from the inevitable blood that comes with it. ]
no subject
He does not remain conscious for even a SECOND LONGER, because. Most of the adrenaline is gone so everything rushes to him so hard.]

I told you clearly: I had no desire to hurt one of Ruby's children. And then you hurt one of mine.
Trust a mother's devotion, even if you are too lonely a creature to trust that another might just be kind.

[ that, at least, does sound genuine ]
But with or without that love, the truth of your situation was there, and you could have learned it easily.
Instead, you shot the very person who gave you the most. Perhaps you might consider a lesson in that.
