Is this seriously what you both want? To rip each other apart for no reason?

If I let you kill each other will you both be satisfied?!

[justfuckingtryit]

[He's startled by the sudden appearance of the volleyball, briefly, but he throws it aside, hard. To Cobalt:]

I told you who I wanted to fight. If she wants to hide that asshole behind her skirts, I'll take her on instead, in her fancy fucking armor and everything.

Move, Cobalt.

[He honestly doesn't care enough about what Hiryuu thinks to correct her on the parts she's wrong on.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

If it's between Yasuragi and myself, then I'll choose myself. I've warned him twice now.

[ And honestly she doesn't care how Thorn feels about her protecting yasu so. You know. ]

It's his choice.

[we_meet_again]

[Just... quiet for a moment.


Then he steps back out of the way without saying anything.]

[1/2]

[justfuckingtryit]

Shouldn't be your fucking choice in the first place, and whatever you say, you're not really letting it be mine.

But if you want to defend that asshole's shitty decisions, let's go.

[justfuckingtryit]

[And he is INCOMING. When he opens his mouth, the sound that comes out is inhuman - overwhelmingly harsh, and overwhelmingly loud. Kydoimos Din is enough to deafen and throw her off balance, but he doesn't stop at making a little noise.]

[He grabs right for her arm - takes the wrist in one hand and wedges the elbow against the stone of the tunnel walls - and uses Achilles Radar to sense exactly the angle he needs to crack the armor itself and the arm underneath it. 2+2, 2]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ OKAY so effective and also pretty fucking effective? The armor bends and cracks, cutting into her skin in places, even, and the bones in arm fracture and break backwards under the pressure. She's screaming, not that she can hear it, in anger and pain. It fucking hurts--but that's just really incentive to strike back. WHICH she will try to do--not with either of her arms, since one is BROKEN and the other is--well actually she's probably dropped her heart volleyball. But it's a KNEE TO THE GROIN.

Strength roll 1 2 4; 3 for a success, 4 for damage--this is how you die, Thorn. Kneed in the groin.


You deserved better, almost undoubtedly. ]

[justfuckingtryit]

[RIP.]

[Walks over to the wall of the tunnel and sits down, folding his arms over his knees.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ After her arm is back to normal and she's feeling less justified for her asshole behavior--she spots cobalt by the wall and hesitates. She wants to say something but... she's not sure what, if anything she could say in this situation. Probably nothing.

...

She'll. She'll try to find a way to make up for this somehow... later. ]

[sonof]

Brincesh-!

[ clutching his battered face with one hand, volleyball devastation was nice while it lasted but Hiryuu screaming snaps him back pretty quick. he gets to his feet to go to her, hesitating only for a moment when Thorn crumples over before he reaches her side, extending a hand that hovers in the air a moment as he second-guesses touching her arm ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ there's a ringing in her ears and like

HONESTLY if she'd just remember to transform back, her arm would be unbroken again? she'd be fine? but. she's distracted.

'Brincesh?'

did she hear that right? ]

Yasu? What happened to your face?

[sonof]

[ drops his hand to reveal his slightly bloodied face and in the end decides to reach for her uninjured hand instead ]

I got hit by a ball.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Probably a good choice, her arm is pretty mangled. or--was. She's de-henshin-ing and shedding her injuries for her regular HP pool and her non-injured body. ]

I'm sorry. I didn't see that happen.

[ wiping away her tears with both of her hands now. ]

Is someone else attacking you?

[sonof]

[ god I theoretically knew you could do that but kind of forgot and also that's weird as shit. but now that he can properly see her face, settles his palm against her cheek ] ]

No, it was an accident. Are you all right...?

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ going for a weak joke and a smile so she's not anymore tempted to cry about things than she already is. ]

I've had better days.

[ she can't. quite laugh though. change the subject. ]

What about all of you? Where's Loki?
