[hot_mess_express]

Who: unfortunate souls
When: out of time, slotted in with the event but put out of time so people can die/come back easy
Where: places

[ The ground rumbles and shakes - and then opens up. The earth swallows you whole, leaving you in front of . . . blobs . . . Oh they're a little cute, aren't they?

But the world is a bit dark, isn't it? It's a little scary . . . isn't it? ]

[Akira's only reaction this round is to press a hand against his mouth and snicker into his palm at the confused blobs. because they're blobby and confused and it's funny, okay!!]

[and then he'll yell]

-- hey, everyone! If you have a reason to laugh, take it! Whatever these things are, they don't respond well to laughter!

[the good news is that she is chuckling

but not for the right reasons because the blob has eaten through her eyes and deep inside of her and the curse is churning and demanding blood and it's over now, right? She loses.

So she laughs softly as she steps behind Akira, puts her hands around his throat, and starts to strangle him, pushing in hard with her thumbs.]

[without missing a beat, Timur turns and raises a hand.

the same silver-grey sigil as before ignites, unleashing a pulse of force -- a battering blow, aimed more to knock her back and down than to deal damage.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

[Akira's too busy focusing on the blobs that he doesn't see her coming. he doesn't notice her until her hands are around his neck, squeezing tightly and completely cutting off his airflow. with a choked, breathless noise, he grips at her hands as tightly as he can, trying to yank them away from his throat. and, in the same movement, he rocks back into her, also attempting to knock her back and away from him]

[HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING THIS IS RUDE 8(]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[nihilmancy]

[Between the blast of force, and Akira's struggling, she's knocked away, and down to the floor, landing quite hard. But she howls a deranged laugh as she tries to struggle to feet, feeling the Abyssal magic pulse through her, seeming to guide her muscles, train her emotions to seek violence, stumbling clumsily back towards the group with hands outstretched.]

I think you need some time to cool down.

[Timur normally isn't this quippy, but under the circumstances it's kind of a thing. he levels a palm at her and unleashes an arm-thick beam of green light that smashes into her with a heavy, physical force -- but more importantly, it applies petrification: it won't last that long, but maybe it'll be long enough.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

[Akira gasps for air as soon as Hlasoh lets go, stumbling forward as his hands move to his neck to gently touch the newly forming bruises that ring his skin. his gaze snaps up as soon as he hears that green light smash into her, and. . .]

Hey! Be careful! Don't hurt her!

[she was LITERALLY strangling you, Akira???]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[legis_vox]

I'm being as gentle as I can while still taking her out of action.

[look, sometimes all you have is a petrification beam and every problem looks like a target]
