Red velvet curtains pull to the sides of a proscenium arch. On stage, a milleau of human-sized puppets are operated by a bevy of strings above, in movements sometimes jerky, sometimes smooth. They seem magnificently life-like, the uncanniness of their movements aside. But still, they do not acknowledge you as you pass through, and if you cut their strings they fall lifeless to the floor.
Mechanics If you choose to raid the bodies for parts, sensitIV can replace lost limbs here. Or just give themselves extra limbs if they choose to, you know.
[Alright, since he's got a bucket and a knife, Nya's very first instinct is to actually try something he's been thinking about, setting his bucket down in order to cut down one of the puppets, looking pretty disgusted with this whole thing.]
[Thankfully, he doesn't just fall dead from one shot, but it does mean he knows he's under fire now. With one of his now four arms, Nya picks up the bucket, using it to shield his head as he attempts to close the gap while healing himself of that gunshot wound.]
That's a handy power. You know, we've been meaning to speak with SensitIV to prevent accidents like this from occurring! It just seems time has slipped away.
[ tilts his head and then turns around, back to Nya ]
I expect~ I should lead the way if we're working together?
[ From behind the curtains, the genie takes one of the animated dolls. The features warp, to match Haruto's, so Mars will know the culprit. With a newly created knife in hand, the genie's Haruto doll throws the curtain wide, and more dolls dive to hold him in place so he can't dodge.
Farewell, Mars, it is time to get stabbed to death
While not creative in and of itself, the genie likes to think using the dolls and the slight flare for the dramatic with the curtains counts. ]

Ah. . . I don't really like pain, you see . . .so perhaps we could come to a different conclusion. . .?
no subject
Yeah, that checks out.
[He's gonna keep his knife in hand then.]
Fine, fine. How about I heal you... and then we could work together? Don't think it means I trust you, though.
no subject
[ he honestly. also can't help but ]
Should you really be using a knife if you can't stab people with it.

[And then he does heal him, reaching out to seal up his wound.]
They didn't give me a lighter.

[. . . slowing to a stop, resting one shoulder against the wall as he brushes his hand over the new scar he's sporting thanks to Haruto's HP swap]
. . . whoa, this place is creepy as shit.
[similar to how he did with the Fooxhole, he's going to duck behind the curtains and out of sight and wait things out]
