[ The hit lands hard, bruising force of impact against Shu's chest. He's winded and he coughs— a rib might be broken. ]
So this is the kind of man you are? If you meant to attack him and he attacked in defense and still you chose to vent your anger despite the warning, I cannot count him in the wrong!
[ One hand stays locked at Thorn's wrist and the other slams into his face— He cannot manage much damage as he's attempting to hold him back at the same time, but it is a solid strike nonetheless.
[Doesn't even attempt to get away. He just absorbs the damage, opens his mouth and - screams.]
[Good god, it's a bad sound. An ear-splitting, brain-rattling kind of sound. A Kydoimos Din kind of sound. It goes on and on and on, and as it does, he switches on Achilles Radar, targets the weak point in the elbow of the arm that's holding him, and goes in for the break - 1+2, 3.]
[ He screams and doesn't hear his own voice— all has gone quiet, but he can feel that white-lightning jolt of pain as his elbow breaks. His hand loses the strength to hold Thorn back, and he stumbles. But he left his piano for this, his arts for this— he is here to protect what is beautiful and precious, for whatever it may cost him.
With his working arm, he throws Thorn back into the wall
[ -- Oh. That sure is an angry looking Thorn coming our way while
everyone else is apparently frozen, or, in Sunshine's case--being completely unhelpful to try to prevent this from going down. She can't just sit here and do nothing, though--and if she's going to take a side in this, well....
She moves in front of Yasuragi and initiates henshin and produces her Heart Weapon. ]
Don't come any closer. I'm only warning you once, Thorn.
[ Shu dives after him after the movement— he still doesn't know what is going on but those are the actions of a threat
[ failed SPD check ]
But with Thorn sped as he is, Shu cannot lunge after him in time and lunges onto nothing but cobblestones as Thorn races for Yasuragi and Hiryuu. He cries out as he lands, broken elbow connecting with the ground, and reflexively curls his body around the wound— his focus broken so he cannot tell Yasuragi and Hiryuu to watch out. ]
but Loki is a jock and spurred on by the sight of Thorn marching his way towards Hiryuu and Yasuragi with Purpose.
passing his speed check, he bolts as soon as he is able to regain anything resembling feeling in his legs. with an effectiveness of 6 he's making it pretty far.
to once again football tackle another poor person to the ground ]
[ She flinches when Shu drops and cries out, and in any other situation, she'd go to help him immediately--but with Loki and Thorn right in the middle, that's not really possible. She'll wait to see what happens with Loki and Thorn but, ]
[ To Yasuragi: ]You should retreat a little more if possible.
[ And for Loki: ] I have a net! We could just detain him!
[ prrrobably. unless Sunshine gets involved again ]
[Goes down hard, the air all leaving him in a rush, along with a pained noise he will absolutely not admit to, ever.]
[He may be tiny, but he's strong, powered by the force of sheer rage and also Hysmine Blessing. He gets his arms up under him, attempting to shove Loki up, and off, and use the momentum to carry through and bodyslam him straight into the pretty, scenic cobblestones. 3 + 3, 4]
[ alright well. fuck. that hurts. he gasps out, but it doesn't leave a scar so he can't even begin to heal that. he doesn't think that actually... talking to this guy is going to be any help at all, but Hiryuu's here and shouting at him to be reasonable so he's at least going to try.
so he scrambles to his feet and starts towards Hiryuu ]
[ Well this sucks on every possible level. Going to grab Thorn's body and bolt with usual speed of 24. So he can properly assess his failure. Oh and shoot a pretty hateful look at Yasu for starting this mess. ]

Re: THE URBAN JUMBLE
You're going to kill him at this rate.
[ LIKE IT'S THE POINT OF THIS GAME APPARENTLY BUT HE'S SEEN A LOT OF DEATH LATELY AND ARE YOU, SHU, REALLY OKAY WITH THAT ]
Re: THE URBAN JUMBLE
Sorry, Thorn! You can yell at me later!
Re: THE URBAN JUMBLE
He looks distraught, he can't understand him but he stares at his mouth, trying to make out the words ]
[ oh and then he gets shocked and stops everything entirely, even his nervous searching of Loki's face temporarily stunned ]
Re: THE URBAN JUMBLE
I don't need your fucking help.
[He goes to shove past all of them, now that Shu's let him go, like he's making to follow Yasuragi.]
Re: THE URBAN JUMBLE
so since he was touching Shu at the time he also gets shocked, his whole frame jolting for a moment before going completely still.
fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. ]
