[ 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!]
[ jason does this to that kazoo cover of jurassic park for extra drama.
no.
what's under this dustcloth? yuri will take a look. hopefully it's something he can use to put hapi out of her misery before she really makes a mess of jason. the goths are honestly the only valid people here right now. look at them go, they're so organised and efficient. ]
[ harrow finds...a sheaf of papers, rolled up, tied with a leather cord. it's not useful in a fight, but someone put it there for a reason. under all that dusty, dusty furniture.
hua cheng coolly slides the ammunition to jason, who catches it so he can reload. while hua cheng searches the furniture, he finds a silver pipe and a small first aid kit.
hapi claws at the ground, and starts immediately going for jason, as he is down on the ground with the shotgun. the skeletons gasp, enthralled with this struggle.
yuri finds a glock. it's fully loaded. let's try this again! ]
[cool. she tucks that in her jacket, pauses to take a moment to cough up some blood, and will look and see if there's anything else she can find. if not, she will start dragging some dusty furniture over in jason's direction so if he misses his shot again at least he has something to hide behind.]
[ oh. he's shoving the first aid kit into his jacket because they're probably going to need it. nothing to do about their inside blood right now, but he eyes the silver pipe. gives it a small bounce in his hand, to test the weight.
snow 🦋 hug cheng...3! Roll: [18] Result: 18
and then moves closer to swing it, bottoms up, up into hapi's chin, to help jason and yuri deal with the not so happy doppleganger without getting directly in gunfire range. especially since jason is reloading and yuri has found a glock. fire away! ]
[He sort of tries to lift his leg a bit, but believe it or not, some people are actually helping him! So maybe he won't need to use his foot to keep the nasty creature away.
He pops the bullet into the chamber and pumps it. Aims. This time, he tries to be a little steady. Hope I roll another two. Yuri is there if not.
yeah, let it be known yuri just picked up this gun and shot like a pro. he really does as well, he just grabs the gun and fuck it, he's seen jason shoot about four times by this point-- he can emulate that.
he just aims at whatever was hapi crawling across the floor and fires. ]
[ i keep thinking about the horrible, horrible rolls and smiling.
yuri "fire emblem: fantasy europe" leclerc picks up this glock and shoots it like a pro. the combination of hua cheng hitting hapi under the chin with the pipe and yuri's perfect shot and, i guess, jason's buckshot means that hapi, in three successive hits, is finally taken out. her body hits the floor, and blood pools underneath her.
there's a breath of quiet. the audience seems to clatter slightly less, for a moment, like they're also recovering from that big, exciting fight scene.
you can have a moment to gather yourselves, it seems. ]
[cool. harrow is just going to stand there and catch her breath, head spinning, and cough out a bit more blood. she wobbles slightly and then hurries over to the three of them.]
[ thank dianxia. hua cheng nearly lets the pipe slip out of his hand, feeling the throb of the hole there and his burnt fingers and palms, but he holds onto it and the saber in the other. the hush that falls over everything makes him look around for a moment, coughing a little blood up himself.
he doesn't say anything to them, but his vibe is very much this to the audience.
he's going to sit on the edge of one of the pieces of covered furniture to catch his breath. ]
I'll live long enough to get back to the hotel. You, Harrow? Gentlemen?
[As soon as the damn thing is obliterated, he drops his head back against the floor with a thunk, lowering the shotgun onto his chest. He will accept the humiliation of having such awful shots consecutively because he hurts too much.
The only worst part about stopping to rest and collect is how easy is it to be reminded of being beat to hell and back. He grunts through his gritted teeth.]
I'm alive, I guess. I got bitten by a shark, so I've been better.
[He does not get up or move for a long moment or two, hating the idea of having to. Finally, he hisses and pushes himself into a seated position.]
[ yuri just… flops down and rests his elbows on his knees. give him a moment here he just help shoot one of his closest friends.
he will wave a hand after he’s had that moment though — and then drop it to give the back of jason’s head a little pat because jfc where are they not injured right now. ]
I am begging you to remember the shark bite before you do something else to aggravate it. Please.
[ and then he lets out a big sigh — luckily he is not hapi, so that doesn’t come with unwanted extras — and leans with a bit of a wince to look at harrow and hua cheng. ]
A little roughed up and a little singed, but I’ll survive. How about you guys, are you holding up?
[ you are all singed and bleeding outside blood and inside blood. it's not a great time! everyone has a minute to check on each other.
... the audience starts murmuring and clattering, again. what are they doing? what's that note thing? what's taking so long?
hmmm.
thunder crashes from outside. faintly, if the group is paying attention, they might hear the theatrical movie trailer voice announcer say something about, more monsters of the week? ]
[fuck. she can hear the audience getting antsy. she glances at hua cheng, yuri and jason.]
I'm alright.
[she considers this, digs her nails into her palm.]
I think it would be boring if we had to fight more low level monsters, don't you? I want to confront the woman in white directly, for taking away my true love, Estelle.
[ cracking open his eye again after closing it for a beat, hua cheng glowers into the far distance of the audience, like he's going to go into it and bite someone's head off. but he stays where he is as he sets the pipe on the whatever he's sitting on. shifts up to his feet again, as he ignores the skull splitting pain in his head. ]
I found a small kit. You two ought to use it. [ he rifles it out of his jacket and offers it to yuri and jason. his and harrow's inside blood will get nothing from this but maybe jason's fucking SHARK ATTACK?? will. ]
She needs to be stopped before any other poor, innocent girls suffer the same fate as my sister's beloved.
[He makes a face at the hair pat, but does not get rid of it.]
"Note"...?
[HE HATES THESE SKELETONS. And all this fucking film shit. He glances between Harrow and Hua Cheng. Frowns. He wants to tell them to knock the stupid ass acting off, but he understands it's a thing they are forced to do.
He waves a hand dismissively at the first aid kit.]
You first. Deal with your hand. Might need it.
[He is going to try to roll to his feet without groaning. Which doesn't happen really. He wavers a little unsteadily before finding his balance.]
well. yuri just blinks at harrow talking about her one true love estelle because, oh, bad actually. estelle was “here”. and also because that would be peak aesthetic and he supports peak aesthetic. slowly though, when it becomes apparent the audience is getting agitated, he pushes himself back up with a wince as his burned skin is pulled with the movements. his leg trembles where it’s injured, but he can still use it well enough.
adrenaline should pull him through. ]
Yeah, you seem to be the one with an impalement wound. Get it fixed.
