[ directed at harrow when she snaps back into the present and the now. that's a relief. hua cheng, well... they can worry about him later? as time goes on? like jason said, if they keep reminding him, maybe he'll shake it off. ]
... [ hapi gets a look and a tilt of the head. ] You along for the ride, Hapi?
[ jason will get a little shrug. honestly? he looks ready to go with that pole, so if he wants to keep it he can. he's adjusted well enough carrying hapi. ] I'm not the one with an injured side. I can carry her, if the pole's easier for you.
[ poor hua cheng. he will get yet another chance to remember, maybe, but... harrow seems to trust them, right? so it's fine, probably. the mirror is covered, now, thanks to harrow throwing it over, which nets them maybe? some peace? who knows.
my other three who are not brain scrambled.
they hear that strange, freakish clattering again. this time, it's louder, but it sounds like it's multiplying.
as jason, harrow and yuri look around, they look off to the horizon of the house, and they see... something very strange, though to jason and yuri, it's familiar. there are large groups of creatures in stacked, stadium style seating, staring back at them, on the edges of their seats. they are skeleton and bone, rotting flesh dripping off of their bodies - that clattering noise was applause. your audience is still here, it seems. unreachable, no matter how hard the people who remember try to grab them, but there, looming and clattering in their boney glee.
as they are contending with this, a voice speaks. loud enough to be heard, booming through the entire mansion. there's a WHOOSH that sounds like it should be flame, but no fire comes, and then, it sounds like a dramatic movie trailer as the voice speaks: ]
Previously on: S*perhell. The woman in white only wanted true love - and her powers are so strong that she'll bring anyone into the fold. Her powers are so far reaching, that they catch two people from a different universe entirely: our intrepid lovebirds, Yuri Leclerc and Jason Todd. What an ambitious crossover!
The two of them have found their way into Harrowhark and Hua Cheng's world for a honeymoon they'll never forget. Will romance bloom even in the darkest of moments? Will our beloved siblings Harrowhark and Hua Cheng escape the mansion's cruel designs with their new crew safely intact? The drama. The action!
With their knowledge, their found family, and true love to save them, perhaps they will be able to combat the mysteries of the Woman in White. After all, she's a figure from our first season - why would she return, in season 27? Only time will tell.
Let's rejoin our heroes, however - in the midst of a great, terrible tragedy.
[ a great, terrible tragedy huh.
the bones clatter, as the skeletons silence themselves and return to their show.
yeah, that would be hapi. see, hapi probably would have lived if you left her behind, but now that she's found herself on hit cw television show superh*ll... well. hapi starts to try and stand, pushing yuri off, but then - her knees buckle, and she collapses into yuri's arms again. her coughing fit, this time, comes up a strange, black, sludgy substance. ]
W...what? What's -
[ it keeps coming. she rolls on her side, coughs, and hacks up more of the sludge, then turns to look at yuri - and when she does, it looks like that same oil black sludge has filled up her sclera and eyes entirely. ]
[ hua cheng, stuck assimilated into this shitty show that should have ended season 4, frowning. ] What are you even talking about -
[ but, now, yet another strange girl is suffering from some horrible affliction that's probably about to kill her. great. but his sister is close to them, he trusts her to watch them as he takes a look around to see if the lady in white is lurking somewhere and the cause of this. ]
[ oh goody. the audience are back. fuck them, honestly. and then hapi is just filling up with oil and that's-- not good. to put it mildly.
harrow's right, he knows she's not real. it probably wouldn't have mattered if he'd left her in that tunnel, but it hadn't felt right. this feels worse though. much worse. ]
...
[ he doesn't drop her, but he does set her down and take a step or two back from her. honestly i hope something shoots out of her and stabs him, but for now he'll make a motion to jason for the pole. jason might not want to impale her, but if stops whatever this is from happening, yuri'll do it. ]
[ hapi coughs again - it's soft, this time, a whimper of a noise that turns into a laugh. the laugh feels wrong, immediately, and her mouth splits into a grin on her face that shouldn't be there, like rictus, ferocious and deadly.
she starts to push herself up on an elbow.
and there's a brief moment where the oil recedes - she gasps and coughs, again, clutching her chest, and gasps-]
No - Yu - Yuri-bird, I can - I'll fight her off, I - [ and then grunts in pain, head snapping downwards.
...when hapi lifts her head again, she's got those black oil pupils once more, and she starts to stand, her wounds starting to seal themselves. she laughs, wrong, again, and says - ] Yuri-bird, I'm just so... so... I can't handle you. I think I'll just... [ and then takes a deep breath.
and starts to release it on a sigh. jason and yuri now especially know that's not good! not that hapi being clearly possessed is better.
the audience seems to love this. they are just on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what happens next. ]
[well. harrow is drawing her pistol. i don't think it has bullets left in it but along with her knowledge of the supernatural universe i imagine her knowledge of how guns work has deserted her.]
[ harrow draws her gun. strange people are shouting and passing weapons. a girl is laughing and looking insane, and sighing, and there's a murder ghost in here somewhere.
there's a moment where hua cheng realizes there's an audience looming and watching their every move.
hotel. but not hotel. things are overlapped and, dianxia, his head hurts. ]
Oh, fuck this. [ he spits to the side, clearing a little more blood from his mouth, and draws the glock from his thigh holster. except he gives it a spin, holding it out to jason by the muzzle so that he can take it. ] Todd. Think you'll do better with this than I will, now.
[Shit, shit, shit. HE DOESN'T LIKE THIS HAPI. He doesn't like it! He tosses the pole the short distance to Yuri.
He glances at Hua Cheng, then the gun. GUN! Quickly, he reaches out to take it by the handle. Yuri has a chance to impale, but Hapi is about to sigh. And he has learned that's not a great idea. And he's more worried for the four of them in general, and he's a little worried that Yuri is going to have to put down someone he cares about with his own hands.
Which he thinks isn't wrong, in essence, to want to do that. But he doesn't think Yuri should have to go through with it.
So the moment he grabs the gun, he spins around, points, and fires without any hesitation directly at their poor Hapi's head. Hope Hua Cheng had bullets.]
[ well. a gun is definitely faster and cleaner than a pole to the chest, that's for sure. yuri barely even gets the chance to aim and ready himself before jason just guns her.
bang bang.
he will stay ready though-- in case something does go wrong with the gun. if hapi doesn't drop, he'll have no choice but to stab her anyway, and he'll do it. i hope she stabs him back. ]
as it turns out, hua cheng has a bullet left in his gun! thank goodness you guys didn't waste all of your bullets. being prepared does not keep hua cheng from getting the censor shock, though. stop swearing. this one hurts a little more on account of his brain being kind of fried from earlier.
well
maybe you wasted another bullet.
jason fires. hapi jerks to the side, and the bullet shears off just a few strands of her hair. it's with horrifying, unnatural speed. she lunges forward and throws herself at yuri because he's closer, with a dramatic, purposefully silly sigh. she then grabs him by the throat, and lifts him off the ground, her hand digging into his windpipe. ] I'm going to tear your heart out, Yuri-bird. God's will.
[ hm. of course, because she sighed, that means that the other three are not immune, either. there's the sound of shattering glass, and then a shriek, as three wraiths similar to the one who grabbed hua cheng and harrow earlier spring out of the floor, out of nowhere. there's one for each of them to tussle with, and these nasty little creatures shriek and immediately launch themselves at their enemies - they have terrible spikes in their wrists that shoot out like claws , and they immediately go to tackle jason, hua cheng, and harrow, stabbing at them and aiming particularly towards their heads. the forms of the wraiths are not so ghostly, though - they shuffle wildly between the people you know, the people you love in the hotel. they take on the shape of all the people you've mentioned, all the ones you've already seen, and then flicker violently into humanoid creatures with horrific, rotted skin. hapi's trying to kill yuri, in the meantime.
this may be a good time to remind harrow and hua cheng that they both came here a little more armed than they thought? they're still in this room full of furniture and covered objects. maybe they can make some kind of a barricade, if they don't fucking die.
the audience is thrilled by this. they clatter all at once, gasping in horror and delight and drama, enjoying every single second of it. ]
[she screams out his name and tries to get to him, to help him, but there's a wraith attacking her. and it has - it has sheila's face? or no, is that gideon? or molly? but the skin is rotting off. she'll grab the knife she brought with her and try to drive it through the eye of this thing, whatever it is. it isn't sheila, it isn't.
[she's going to try to kick off another cloth covering some dusty old furniture. maybe there's something under there that can help?]
[ his earlier sentiment of burning this place down to the ground still remains. he flinches, bringing his holey hand up to his head and scowling. so the blood and gore and sexism is fine for national television? (yes, yes it is.)
there's a lot of violence. but they're armed to the teeth, and hua cheng reaches for the scimitar he grabbed, backpedaling from the one coming at him even if his inside and his head both protest such sudden movement - he needs the room to draw the weapon. ]
Todd! Shotgun! [ it was probably dropped near the mirror when the wraith first grabbed them? not like you can hold onto that kind of thing when you're not in possession of bodily control. sorry that he can't throw the extra ammo he grabbed for both guns just yet, jason, but he'll get there once he's not wedging an elbow and forearm between his head and a spike. ]
[NO, I DID THIS TO JASON TODD. Batman is proud of him for missing.]
Yuri! Watch it!
[He is NOT a fan of ghosts, he has got to say. Why can’t things be, like, normal and solid? And living?
He absolutely tries to smash the wraith attacking him with the gun since what else is a gun useful for if not that. He isn’t bad at dodging, not with his line of work, but they are going to take a few hunks out of him while he dances around for the shotgun.
Okay! This one has less precision! Maybe he can actually shoot and hit this thing.]
Stay on my backside!
[Though he is going to make sure he is turned away on his own. He does NOT want to spray any of them with buckshot, but who knows what dice will do to me and him this time. He’ll try to unload one shot on his own wraith first so he can focus on the rest after if he has the ammo. He hesitates.
Why is it Bruce? Why is it Cloud? Why is it Royce?
[ well, that makes things easier. it's not hapi anymore, not that it ever was. but it the pieces that fit together to make her sound like, move like, act like hapi are all out of line and wrong now.
he doesn't get a chance to react to her grabbing him by the throat in the way she does, and from the scuffles and shouting behind him he doesn't expect a well timed save while they're occupied and anna failed three rolls.
so, he does the best he can do. shifts his right arm as much as he can and swings the pole to crack into the side of hapi's head. ]
[ harrow first. as she struggles and fights with - molly, no, sheila, no, lup, no, gu yun, no, gideon, she manages to get her knife as it swaps to mollymauk and drives it right into his eye. the thing shrieks, because harrow is a well prepared supernatural character, and her knife was made of silver. it immediately rears backwards, dropping all illusory forms, and screams, covering its steaming face with its hands. this gives her enough time to scamble backwards and yank down the cloth covering a sofa.
underneath the cloth on the sofa is... a pack of ammunition for a shotgun! wow! there's still lots more furniture, even! but there's that.
hua cheng manages to dodge the spike, though it slices a cut on his face that begins to bleed freely. he's having a great time, as his wraith turns to xie lian, recognizing a weakness, and pins down his wrist. thankfully, it is not the wrist that is holding the scimitar. the xie lian smiles at him, tender and gentle, and lifts his free arm to try and drive the spike right into hua cheng's brain.
jason. sweet jason. the gods of the dice finally grant anna a fucking break, for the first time. he fires off his shotgun, and BANG - it connects. the balls in the shotgun are silver - the wraith, right now shaped like stephanie brown, gets a silver bullet directly through the brain, and falls dead to the floor, instantly. my nat one.
and yuri! hapi's left hand tightens on his throat, and he feels the world starting to go back, as happy grabs the front of his supernatural assigned outfit and tears into it with claws, over his heart. her claws dig into his chest, leaving indents like she could rip it straight out of his chest. but, thankfully, he swings and hits her with the pole - it leaves a resounding crack noise and she flies backwards, blood splattering the floor as she hits it with a thud. she... might be dead?
Look under the furniture covers! There's more ammunition here!
[she's still wobbly and bleeding from the fight, but rather than pulling back more furniture, she's going to use the opportunity to help with someone else's wraith. she can see hua cheng, and she recognizes at least the situation, that this is someone he loves, but she doesn't know them. so she will run and try to drive the knife directly into Xie Lian's back.]
[ seeing xie lian's face - again, again, again - does give him a moment's pause. maybe it even gets another attack in, in that pause, as everything settles on him. a bomb. a mirror. a hostage. it's one part shock, one part grief, and just...
well, probably the opposite of the intended effect.
hua cheng is incensed. harrow comes to his aid, and with great effect, and he will be grateful. it cements his decision, lets him move enough to fully pull the scimitar back as he practically snarls - ] You will not use his face!
[ and goes to stab the blade into the false god's face in retribution for it trying to go for his. siblings do it better. ]
[WHEW. FINALLY, A SHOT. He pumps the shotgun to get rid of the spent shell.
But I'm making him reload, so he spins away and rushes to start looking around for the other ammunition. Sofa! He tries to dodge the rest of them as he does so, hurrying to put another shot into the gun.
He pumps it again. And then turns toward the previous sweet Hapi that is no more.]
Yuri, move!
[He does not trust this thing, so he's going to doubletap it but unloading a round into it. He just really doesn't want that thing sighing anymore.]
[ the fact he's going to miss this shot too is hilarious i hope he shoots yuri.
as soon as his swing connects and the hand around his throat loosens, yuri gasps in a huge lungful of air, staggering a few steps backwards from where hapi fell. that should give jason enough room to miss horrifically and some breathing space for if she isn't quite dead yet. ]
[ team goth sibling is successful in dispatching the other wraith, wearing xie lian's face. hua cheng gets to see the features change from delicate and lovely, that of the crown prince, to the rotting flesh of the wraith. it screams, between the silver of harrow's knife and the steel of hua cheng's scimitar, gurgles, and then falls to the ground with a thud, starting to dissolve into dust.
that leaves yuri and jason. jason cooly reloads his gun and pumps it. it is very cool, and very superh*ll aesthetic. the crowd gasps and cheers him on.
he then points the gun downwards at hapi, who lays on the ground. she starts to get up, and bang!
Jason hits the spot right next to her head. her arm lashes out and grabs his leg, yanking him straight downwards onto the ground. when yuri staggers backwards, he lands against a table, and feels something underneath the dust cloth over top of it. ]
[she pulls her knife from the back of the creature. she sees jason struggling on the floor, but she doesn't want to get in close, prevent him from being able to use the shotgun. so she will start pulling cloth off of furniture, sisi.
if she finds something useful, she'll try to slide it to yuri.]
[ while harrow retrieves her knife, and hua cheng pulls out the blade, he pats her briefly on the back in passing and heads in the other direction to check the furniture closer to yuri and jason. he saw the damage the buckshot did - he doesn't want to be within range of that thing when it goes off next - but he also doesn't want jason to get his head popped like a grape.
but he has ammo already. he digs for the shotgun shells, in whatever tight jeans pocket or leather jacket spot he shoved the box into, and i guess 8+5 isn't that bad of a roll for tossing it at jason where he's on the ground. ]
[Well, shit. It's hard to miss with buckshot, but here he is, missing.
He lets out the loudest hiss of pain as he hits the ground on his crisped back. It jostles his side, sending a ripple of electric agony through him all over. He groans.
Hold on, he's seeing stars--the shotgun shells hit him square against the head as they reach him because I can't roll higher than a two ever. Okay, scrabbling to try to reload! Give him a second!]

[He does not trust this thing, so he's going to doubletap it but unloading a round into it. He just really doesn't want that thing sighing anymore.]
no subject
as soon as his swing connects and the hand around his throat loosens, yuri gasps in a huge lungful of air, staggering a few steps backwards from where hapi fell. that should give jason enough room to miss horrifically and some breathing space for if she isn't quite dead yet. ]
no subject
that leaves yuri and jason. jason cooly reloads his gun and pumps it. it is very cool, and very superh*ll aesthetic. the crowd gasps and cheers him on.
he then points the gun downwards at hapi, who lays on the ground. she starts to get up, and bang!
Jason hits the spot right next to her head. her arm lashes out and grabs his leg, yanking him straight downwards onto the ground. when yuri staggers backwards, he lands against a table, and feels something underneath the dust cloth over top of it. ]
no subject
if she finds something useful, she'll try to slide it to yuri.]
no subject
but he has ammo already. he digs for the shotgun shells, in whatever tight jeans pocket or leather jacket spot he shoved the box into, and i guess 8+5 isn't that bad of a roll for tossing it at jason where he's on the ground. ]
no subject
He lets out the loudest hiss of pain as he hits the ground on his crisped back. It jostles his side, sending a ripple of electric agony through him all over. He groans.
Hold on, he's seeing stars--the shotgun shells hit him square against the head as they reach him because I can't roll higher than a two ever. Okay, scrabbling to try to reload! Give him a second!]
