[ For a moment, she seems darkly furious, shoulders tensing, and mutters under her breath, "I freakin' knew this would happen."
But the change in topic lightens her expression significantly, and she pauses, taking out a matching genie lamp, and pats the sword at her waist, opposite of the axe. ]
Hey, sames. And I got another point-n-stabby. You're more of a swordlady, right, Ki-- Nem?
[ maybe giving you a nickname was a mistake if i'm starting to be able not to turn it off. hm. ]
[Thinks about that for a beat, running the mental math. In the end, Requiem's going to be a lot more help for Nem with that axe than anything he did last round, so:]
...nah. I got it. Like she said, you can hit the undo button if I mess it up, right?
[ a genie appears from the lamp in a cloud of fog and snaps its fingers
Hurricane's access to Heroes Never Die is magically disabled right before a scythe appears in the genie's hands and swings for his neck. the genie vanishes once more, and the words "GAME OVER" flash above Hurricane's decapitated body as it crumples to the ground. ]
okay this is my buddy whose horcrux lives under my pillow so okay, just gonna. stick this head back on and we're good, right? so just. doing that??? It's fine???]
He does, he definitely does. It--it should be working, why isn't it working?
[There is only a certain number of times one generally has to attempt to place a head onto a body to see if it will start moving and breathing again, and she tries at least double that before dropping back to her knees, hands trembling]
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[ a pause. then looks to hurricane, uneasily. ]
Should we have stopped King?
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
Pretty sure they're both into that kinda stuff.
[He has seen their memories.]
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[ quiet for a moment as they walk, before cautiously speaking again. This seems more directed at Nem, like continuing a past conversation, but... ]
... so Lucifel did do it, huh.
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
.........Was mostly the other guy. You guys got any. Items or anything?
[yyyyyeah this sucks can we please change the subject]
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
I got my heart weapon. And, uh. This thing?
[Digs in his pocket for the genie lamp, and holds it up.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[and the axe, but. you know.]
So... What, can you guys keep asking for infinite wishes or something? Flying carpet? A fancy dinner and a nap?
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[ considers the bottle... ]
I can't imagine this thing ain't some weird monkey paw jazz, though. Like, you get what you want but in the worst way possible?
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[Considers the lamp in his hands.]
I mean... it couldn't hurt, right? Who knows how many more rounds they're gonna try and put us through.
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
Y'want me to try first? In case something bad happens.
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
...nah. I got it. Like she said, you can hit the undo button if I mess it up, right?
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[Rubbing at the lamp.]
I wish this game was over.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[RIP me.]
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
H...
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[fuck]
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
what-- does she do? what if she dies too, and nem's all alone? What--
a long pause before she speaks, raspy. ]
... should I-- should I try to wish him back?
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
N-no--
[wait
okay this is my buddy whose horcrux lives under my pillow so okay, just gonna. stick this head back on and we're good, right? so just. doing that??? It's fine???]
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
[It is very much a separate head.]
Re: THE UNDERBRUSH
theres a long moment before she says, ]
Does he-- does he have the zombie power? ... he's not moving...
