[ The water begins to bubble, rising up and up in the bowl like a fountain, until it spills out of the bowl in waves, soaking into the dirt and around them. Still, though it overflows, the bowl seems no less empty than before - and the water climbs up and up and up, until the fountain becomes the gentle waterfall of a small stream no bigger than the circumference of the bowl. Through the waterfall, you can see -
Like a broken tail light, flickering and inconsistent in its brightness, a lump of faulty lighting takes center stage of the waterfall, by and large covered up by the tattered, human-like skinsuit you could recognize as Mehniel, though their outer layer is torn enough that you can see bits of feather and fur poking out, and on the floor around them are abandoned bits of feather and hair too, dim light now that they've been torn out. Behind them you can catch the vague shape of something, though you'll largely see the lights illuminating it from underneath a bevelled stone indent in the ground. Currently, the lights are a dull, constant red. If you squint you can see a glimpse of the wall behind; on it are hieroglyphs, unreadable to you. ]

FIGHT
Whoopsie! Look at the time, I've got to start wrapping this up. Chelle won,'t like it if I come home late - she's cooking tonight, and I don't want to miss that 🎵
[ he claps his hands together, electric barrier running through above them and around them, closing them off from the rest of Liar Hell. ]
So let's finish up here. Don't worry, it might hurt, but you won't remember a thing when it's over.
PLAYER ACTION
Re: PLAYER ACTION
They FUCKED
King keeps his position in front of Req on the assumption she probably can't defend herself right now - and shifts so that he's standing in front of Yugi too, if possible.
Heart Weapon held aloft, defensive. ]
This seems like a harsh overreaction - you did invite us to try the door.
Re: PLAYER ACTION
My emotional support dragon hasn't arrived yet.
Well, fuck.
He glances at the lack of exit and then the rest of the ragtag party. And then he takes a gun and taser out of his--- nope, it's just a taser gun now. Who or what he's actually going to use it on is anyone's guess at this point.
Sorry, Maki. You are not getting your gun back in the condition you gave it to Intensity.]
Re: PLAYER ACTION
[ he sets a hand on king's shoulder when he moves in front of him, concern etched on his face. he's worried, sure, but this has also given him the opportunity to get hype him. he's also got a few of his metal cards sitting in between the fingers of his other hand for all the good they'll do, eyes ( all three of them! ) narrowed at furfur. ]
Re: PLAYER ACTION
[At least it is a swiss army knife, so if they need to uncork a wine bottle, he has it covered.]
Dude - let her up.
You said we could walk, right? You said you didn't wanna fight. So let us walk and we're outta your hair.
Re: PLAYER ACTION
but she can barely manage to reach it in the first place, breathing heavily. ]
Re: PLAYER ACTION
Didn't wanna fight...right.
[Nemesis's laugh is harsh and barking, though it quickly rises to more of an angry, loud cry--Appel-loud, stunningly so. Without missing a beat she waves a hand, intending to Gate of Babylon him as best she can with as many blades as she can muster--maybe more. Regardless, she rushes forward, attempting to grab the ex-angel, phaser hand set to kill]
BOSS REACTION
[ ,
hm
he does freeze up with appel, it seems to work fairly ooookay? the swords don't manage to hit him though, electricity bundled around to deflect them - to redirect them, to send them . . . ]
BOSS ACTION
Congratulations to Requiem for her 100000 electrified swords. Girlfriend swords! Wear them with pride, Requiem and also literally everyone standing in front of her because that's a lot of swords. Have fun!!
In the meantime, hey, is that phaser hand made of metal, because she can grab him but it's like holding onto a live wire, and she'll find her arm specifically starting to splinter at the connective tissue, overloaded into going haywire. Explosion #2: Nemesis' arm blowing the fuck up. ]
Geez. You're really excitable . . .
PLAYER RE/ACTION
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
He gets good and skewered by at least two of them, with glancing blows from a few others - and that alone might not have taken him off his feet if not for the electrical charge as well.
With that, he's definitely going down. ]
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
Cool.
Coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool.
Well, de-attaching his arm and tossing that the fuck away. And de-activating his eye.
Can't fight with metal or electricity, huh? WELL SHIT!
Aiming his gun at Furfur but not firing (because who knows who is going to jump into the fray next. Let's not friendly fire when we're already this hosed). Aka - Intensity is holding his action ready.]
Ah. There's your flair for the dramatic.
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
[That is so many swords, and they are not going where they were supposed to, and he has about .5 seconds to process the impulse to dodge - because he can - and then disregard it, because he isn't going to. Protecting someone's no good if you move when it comes time to protect them.]
[So he sure does get hit by swords - screams, and drops, because that is a lot of electricity coursing through him, thanks very much.]
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
[ he's going to dodge using quick as a wink and since king is going to attempt? to tank?? the swords??? he redirects his get hype into his metal throwing cards, which he then heats up as much as he can using thermodynamic. to possibly keep furfur from having enough time to turn this attack on the rest of the party yugi is going to rush him and hurl all but one of his cards at sanic speeds at his stupid face. ]
[ if he manages to get close enough without expiring, then it's time for a magic trick! alright~ there's nothing up his slee- oh wait, there totally is, and it's the last card. ]
[ time to see if this guy can't be blinded. ]
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
[She leans wildly with the explosion but doesn't lose her balance (thanks, Stability)--recovers, using the momentum to pull back around and try to punch Furfs in the face. This is most definitely a much better plan than wasting any time worrying about the ringing in her ears or the humming in her teeth or the pained cries behind her that are maybe a little 100 percent her fault.
Not that there's much left at the end of her arm but sparks and a spool of some space-aged material, but impossible is nothing, and bludgeoning damage is bludgeoning damage. Growls out another Appel to be able to get further than just dribbling some of the weird goop weeping out her stump onto his suit.
If that hits (or honestly, even if it doesn't), she'll keep going, even try for a grapple--less because she thinks she's got a chance and more to draw attention from the boys 'til they're close enough to hit this asshole]
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
And it comes on... slowly. For the first few seconds, nothing has changed at all; you're doing your job, haah, what a pain, these idiots.
But there's a niggling sensation, a tiny itch, that begins to grow. Your wife-- you love her so much, don't you? What would you do if something ever happened--?
Something's happened. You're sure of it. While you're dealing with these annoyances-- something's happened to her. The anxiety grows, tight in your chest, thunderous in your mind. Something's happened something's wrong it's wrong it's wrong it's wrong and you're here wasting time on this when you could be helping her and all of it, anything that happens to her, is all your fault. ]
BOSS REACTION
nemesis can punch him, but it feels like punching a rock. a very hard rock that's also electrically charged, so that's deeply unpleasant to touch, and she'll feel the electricity leaving her body numb, muscles paralyzed like she's cramping up everywhere. grappling might be hard to do here, and it also puts her at a deeply unfortunate place for yugi's metal cards.
fortunately, just like with the swords, the cards redirect - they're straight up deflected like there's a barrier around furfur and nemesis, or more like there's a web of electricity that has the cards riding the currents, just like with the swords, directly into intensity's shoulder. no one turned off friendly fire and it's really starting to show.
on the bright side, yugi's last card isn't swayed by the currents if he's holding onto it (the deeply unfortunate side of this is that his fingers are probably starting to get hella electrified, to the point of burning), and it slices through furfur's face with almost unsettling ease.
through all of this, he doesn't move, frozen by requiem's nightmare vision. ]
BOSS TRANSFORMATION
if it was ever in question, it can be confirmed now: true angels don't bleed.
furfur's head splits open, skin peeling back to reveal the blinding light underneath - it is not like the sun, not like mehniel's light, but a violent crackling core, more like groupings of buzzing energy, sounding more like thousands and thousands of insects.
as his head peels away, horns push up and through, spindly deer-like rods swirling live electricity between the two of them. the shape underneath might look like a deer's head, save for the ram horns that also sit on each side of his head.
the rest of his face hangs at his neck, his transformation - or maybe his unraveling - only partially through. throughout the horns and on the snout of the deer head, eyes open to stare directly at all of you, the normally-placed deer eyes looking completely unfocused. ]
BOSS ACTION
[ it sounds more like a beast now; the piercing metal against metal is less like scraping and more like an artillery of bullets, gunfire and car crashes. it's a wonder you can understand this at all. ]
I'm coming, Chelle. Hold on for me! I'm coming!
[ it's then that the entire area - and everyone in it - is completely and utterly shocked, a bomb of electricity going off with no fanfare. everything hurts, you can feel your body convulsing and your lungs burning, your head splitting open - hurricane manages to get the least of it, the currents burning his sword wounds through the blades to the point of cauterizing them.
on the other end, though, requiem's body is by this point completely burnt, actively on fire and charring. everyone else's wounds are somewhere in between this, player choice on how crispy you wanna be.
around them all circles a ring of fire, and then another smaller one to trap nemesis and yugi with furfur, whose fingers split apart to a thousand hands that reach for them both, to grab them by their necks. ]
PLAYER RE/ACTION
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
And hey, that nightmare vision dissipates the moment she's out cold. Good job you did it. ]
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
[Is there anything to do at this point besides scream?]
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
Re: PLAYER RE/ACTION
And then looks in horror at the now transformed Furfur:]
What the fuck did you—-
[The rest is cut off in a strangled scream as his whole body seizes up. And well... burns. Melts? Is that his eye melting?
And then he hears the name.
Oh.
Oh fuck.
That’s what she did]
