[ whY fuck, he stumbles on his way in trying to get to Hiryuu, pushing the heel of his hand against his eye to try and force himself to see god damnit ]
She's still hurt! [ obviously arguing's not going to do anything
but he can't even see little red now, so so much for trying to find her to fight ]
[ and. snap. his foot lands right in the bear trap because he was a fucking idiot trying to look cool
he falls to one knee as soon as the trap closes in on his leg, a strangled shout of pain escaping him as the blade just. tears through to the bone. fuck, shit, where blindly making a grab for her he has zero idea where she is though so he's just rolling a pathetic precision of 2 ... and unsurprisingly fails ]
[ instead of a whimper she's getting a low, guttural growl. ]
Fuck you. [ snaps, he can turn off his pain for now. at least so he can act. he has to get this fucking thing off, and he fumbles at it to try and pry it open but-- somehow he just can't quite seem to snap it at the right angle, probably because he can't see a goddamn thing. (-3 from strength = 8 strength, 4+5= fail check, +6 ... ineffectiveness?) ]
Obsidian--! [ dog time. it comes running up, aiming to bite her in the leg-- but it ALSO misses. (4+5= fail check, +5 sad dog) ]
[ which dog are you tapping. i guess it doesn't matter since they're both unhappy about it. this time he actually manages to rip the bear trap open (2+2= success, +4), but just in time for his other leg to get assaulted by a goddamn volleyball.
he staggers to his other knee then, and just. stays there for a moment. half out of necessity as he's still blind. and half to focus on healing himself. he can't die here. he can't... ]
Were they? I can barely even remember what happened to them, you know. What were their names again...?
Req☆iem of the Dead, Song of Sorrows. And Nemesis.
You don't have to pretend to be tough by saying things like that, though. If you'll remember, I've already seen what you look like at your wit's end.
[ she reaches down to grab his face in both of her hands, tilting it upward so that when the darkness clears he can see the red of her eyes, but more importantly, so that he can see the car floating past, dropping out of sight somewhere behind them with a loud crash and a disgusting squelching noise -- followed by Hiryuu's strangled screams, crying for someone, anyone to come help her, to save her.
It hurts her so much. He can hear it in her voice, as she screams out her name. But fortunately, she won't die. She can't. She's a hero, and heroes never die, after all. She'll just stay there, crushed for as long as it takes for someone to come for her. And by the looks of it, no one's coming. Red lets go of his face, so that he can look around, and there's nobody else in sight.
Well, nobody in any position to help. There's a mangled, hacked up corpse just barely identifiable as Yasuragi's, Obsidian wailing helplessly at the car, and Nemesis, curled up and staring at him with eyes full of terror. And who can blame her? What kind of monster could've done something so horrible to someone so young? Perhaps there's solace in the fact that there's always a more terrifying monster, and Red smashes the heel of her boot into Loki's skull to remind him who it is.
Then again, perhaps it's no solace at all. After all, the makeshift chains binding him to the floor and the constant, echoing screams of the princess he failed to protect will serve to remind him of what kind of a horrid beast he is for as long as he's stuck down here. ]
[ theoretically he should know about nightmare vision by now and what it does
in practice, it's actually really hard to tell the difference between returning to reality when the light returns to your eyes, or returning to an illusion. of course the first thing he sees is red. red's eyes, that is. but the crash is immediate-- and the screaming ]
Hi-- [ he chokes out immediately, wrenching his head out of Red's grip (or at least that's his intention. she lets him go, she lets him look, but he doesn't know that, all he knows is) ]
Hiryuu-!! Ya...su, [ no, ... no no no no what why what where did that come from how could this happen
if he hadn't wandered away from them
he shouldn't have left,
his eyes catch Nemesis' gaze for what feels like far too long of a moment. right. actually. this all started because he killed her. no, it all started because he failed to protect Nya from this game. because he couldn't support him properly. because he was too pathetic, even back then.
his gaze only breaks from Nemesis when his head gets forced to the ground.
Hiryuu is still screaming.
he could save her. he could help her. he can heal her, he, has to move, but no matter how hard he tries to move his arms the chains around them are impossibly heavy, dragging him to the ground, ]
Let go... let me go.... I'll kill you...!! [ this is her fault. he knows that she's holding him here somehow, but he can't die here. he can't die here. if he dies here, then there won't be anyone left to...
what? protect them? he can't even do that right, can he? ]
[ --- alright well that rips a VERY loud scream out of him. and at this point his dog finally seems to get the idea that maybe, just maybe, his master is in trouble as he bounds off in the direction of Hiryuu and Yasuragi, barking wildly.
as for Loki himself, he's not moving. not even attempting yet. the pain is blinding and it's all he can do to keep himself conscious and breathing, hard and hissed through clenched teeth ]
hahH-- [ he inhales sharply as her weight sends another sharp pain through his back and nearly every nerve in his body. he doesn't even have time to try and turn himself over before she grabs his arm, though when she does he tenses-- a burst of adrenaline pushing him to try and wrench his arm away from her before she can twist it back.
though eventually it's just. going to be a futile struggle. with his spine most likely fractured any movement at all is difficult and painful, and eventually his bones in his arm. just. give up. and snap.
at least she gets what she wants, though the second scream is more hoarse and tinged with something closer to a cry than the first.
if she lets it go he'll try to hold it closer to himself by pure instinct. either way, between labored breathing, ]
Are you happy ... you... sadistic bitch...

Are you serious right now?

Re: 2/2

Hmmm. I wonder if you're scared.
[ hmm let's find a volleyball to pick up. ]
They were.
