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. ]

[This is so much. Who would have known LiliS was like this? Eichi has no time to react, not that he would have been able to with so many people, all with their powers, but he had to do something, right?

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.]

. . .what a bad shot. . .

[ 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. ]

[ When the adrenaline fades a bit more, she'll be able to fully appreciate the expertise of her two newest daughters. But with Coriander on the ground and Eichi's hand still on the flame piece gun, 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. ]

[ There's probably a bit of blood on her, but she's wiping at it with her free hand.

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. ]

[ coming down off that immediate high cypress actually looks pretty wigged out but--

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. ]

[personal profile] syckophant 2020-07-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not hard. To keep him from moving.

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.]

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2020-07-21 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... takes the gun out of his mouth, looking progressively more anxious.

(also, taking the gun entirely out of his hand, you lost your gun privileges sir) ]
busybreathing: (27)

[personal profile] busybreathing 2020-07-21 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I kind of thought he'd do this. . .

[ can one sound so disappointed with being shot as this guy ]
syckophant: (054)

[personal profile] syckophant 2020-07-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
O-of course...

[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.

[ looking up a moment from her first aid work; her voice is clipped, matter-of-fact ]

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.

[personal profile] syckophant 2020-07-21 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs at that, bitterly.]

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.

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2020-07-21 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ staring at him, closely. At his mouth. ]

I see. You're not a person after all...
syckophant: (043)

[personal profile] syckophant 2020-07-21 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[HUFFS, certain that he is only conscious because the axe is still in him.]

Just because I'm not 'human' anymore doesn't mean I'm not a 'person'.

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2020-07-21 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ slowly shakes her head, and pushes herself up off of him, still clutching the gun ]

A person shouldn't-- wouldn't... do something like that. At least, I don't think so.

...

They shouldn't.
syckophant: (x22)

[personal profile] syckophant 2020-07-21 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's just naive, don't be stupid. A 'person' wouldn't attempt to defend themself? I shot that boy in the shoulder, and I've lost my wing, and you... you say I'm not a person.

[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!

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2020-07-21 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Defending yourself from-- onions?

[ Still just watching him.

She... kind of... gets it... not the last part, but the first. ]

I suppose this was to be expected.
syckophant: (nn03)

[personal profile] syckophant 2020-07-21 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
At least someone has sense.

[Even if that someone has an axe. In his body. And dropped one of his wings.]

[personal profile] flamecursed 2020-07-21 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Brace yourself, then.

[ 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. ]
syckophant: (032)

[personal profile] syckophant 2020-07-21 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[So it hurt going in. It hurt being stuck there. It hurt being sit on and having his arm twisted, but the axe being pulled out is everything. The pain is renewed, and blood flows freely, and Eichi... is a delicate idol boy.

He does not remain conscious for even a SECOND LONGER, because. Most of the adrenaline is gone so everything rushes to him so hard.]
worthathousand: (❦ your whole truth)

[personal profile] worthathousand 2020-07-21 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Watching the fresh gout of blood, and Edelweiss's collected reaction. And Eichi passing out, too.

A short sigh, then she drops to one knee and begins working to staunch that blood as well. ]

That was well done. I hadn't realized I was no longer the only trained combatant here.
Fetch me some of that fabric, though, please? [ gesturing her chin towards the various drapery ]

We might as well try to keep this mess from getting any worse.

Foolish boy. [ boy said with a subtle twist ]

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.

"Mother" doesn't mean anything to me other than someone who wants to exert power over others. Your 'devotion' might as well only be to yourself, and I am no 'child' of Ruby's. You presume too much.
worthathousand: (I remember tears ❦)

[personal profile] worthathousand 2020-07-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
...In that case, if that is all you know, I am sorry that you have not had better.
[ 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.

I wonder if it ever occurs to you that people don't listen to the words you say.

All I hear is some self-righteous mumbling. If you could stop talking, please, it's distracting me from the pain, and I'm really trying to soak it in.
