[ 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. ]

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
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]

But.
He sure does wish death were an option right now. ]

END
His grip tightens on Nemesis' and Yugi's neck, but only just so. It's a flinch, really.
It's just enough for enough current to course through his palms, generating power directly into them - it feels like a horrible, splitting headache, a thousand ice picks from every direction, the taste of burning in your tongue, and.
well, that's it for the head sensations. abruptly, the pain - and everything else, sensation, sound, light - temporarily disappear.
this, perhaps, is because nemesis and yugi have quite literally lost their heads in a stunning display of straight up just exploding, the remaining stump on the neck burned badly enough to cauterize the wound.
once their bodies fall to the wayside, the cage of electricity dies down - the rest of furfur's human skinsuit has completely peeled inside out, revealing a deer with wings upon wings and limbs upon limbs, though his fur is entirely too long to properly be a deer's; the fur grows out to curl, behaving more like sheep hair than anything.
it's only a brief glance that you can get before he flaps his wings, suddenly taking to the skies. well - he's gone! you . . . you're free!
the most truly unfortunate part of all of this is that the reprieve is only temporary - once the shock wears away, the phantom feeling of pain even without a head resurfaces. even if you physically don't have any possible way of still being alive, you can still feel and be aware. even without a head. even with your body burned to a crisp. even then.
but then, once the shock wears away, you can hear something approaching. ]
