THE FINAL CONFRONTATION

[It's time.

Once everything has gathered, perhaps they feel as prepared as they can be under these circumstances. Behind that door lays the place where things will end. The door opens easily, giving them access to the most important place underneath Krakow.

It's a rather large chamber, carved in the rock, but on the far end it feels like someone decorated the place to give it a very mystical vibe. A polished stone staircase leads to what seems to be a very large, glowing gate. It's being assaulted by an uninterrupted beam of volatile energy. Its origin is visible: a large, imposing laser machine, where all the tubes and wires are connected to. Right beside it, there's a coffin-shaped machine, the antenna blinking intermittently. Looks like it's on! But is it doing anything right now?

And, standing there with your backs to you, are the two people who have caused you so much grief and pain during the last month and a half. They're standing some distance away from the gate. Throughout the room are a few rocks that could serve as cover, as well as a pillar or two, but do you intend to hide? Regardless, looks like your intrusion didn't go unnoticed]


You all are so noisy.

[The door opening seems to have alerted her of your presence, yup. The Lady turns around. She doesn't have her half-mask anymore. The eye that's usually under it has a summoning circle carved onto it, shining so noticeably it can be seen even from the other side of the chamber. To her hip there's a sword, and her hand goes to a weapon a couple people may be familiar with: the marshmallow gun...with modifications. That sure is the fire-spewing trombone attached onto it. It's all pretty dangerous-looking yet still ridiculous. ]

Welcome, everyone, to the secret of this world. In here--why are there cats here?

[She blinks, puzzled. A good sign! Looks like, despite everything she has done and worked on, there's still room to catch her off guard in many ways!

The Lady shakes her head]


If you're down here it means you have been snooping around, haven't you? I'm sure this isn't the only place you sneaked into. My, darlings, that's naughty of you. All you had to do was stay on the surface and do nothing, and you could have the happy ending you wanted. Now, since you have seen more than I intended, I have no more option but to kill you. You can only blame yourselves, darlings.

[The Lady glances back at the gate, pensive, for just a moment before slapping a grin on her face]

My followers call me their Lady. My priestesses their Goddess. Everyone else calls me...the Other, for...some reason. [She doesn't seem terribly fond of that moniker.] But you all can just call me Lucrezia. And this here is my servant, Rembrandt as you well know by now. [She turns to him to add:] Oh, feel free to strike fear into their hearts by undoing your current form. The charade is over.

Now, have you all grasped the truth of this project?

drydrown: those plates are totally relevant and useful (CAST ♡ mimura said what now)

[Whatever.

He's just going to be staying close to Iago and disregarding you for now.]

I...

[fuck!!! He doesn’t have one...]

I’m thinking.

[ His expression turned strained. ]

Dazai...don't get in my way...

[ Rean's gaze was on what was happening with Lucy for a moment and boy, he grit his teeth for a moment when he saw she was still alive. ]
drydrown: okay but what else is the peasantry good for (SWORD ♡ of course it's blood sport)

[personal profile] drydrown 2020-02-16 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, fuck this.

Getting that bow out again, aiming it at Erik this time.]


What do you think you're doing?! Stand down and let her die!

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-02-16 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Keep at it.

[ Turning back to Rembrandt. ]

You end the night for us, I kill her right here right now. That's the bargain.

[ NOT contract. ]

[ That's his name. Pausing for a moment before he strokes his hair gently. ]

You're my friend, Rean. I don't want you to become like me.

[ Okay, well, he wasn't exactly expecting that, but he can tell from the Lux dagger who did it without stopping to look, and fuck the hell off, Erik, TEAM MOLOTOV IS OVER

He's already running over to her anyway with that second knife, so he's not going to be dissuaded by this bullshit. ]

I refuse. Kill her first.

[ He does glance at the bow but, nope! Not deterred! Gonna have to fire at him! ]

That is, indeed, the problem here. It’s basically impossible to trust either of them, in the long run.
baitless: a very stern expression, bordering on angry. (blocked. blocked. blocked.)

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-16 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Can we work something out instead of trying to solve all our problems with murder?!

Not if you bind me. [ But you don't wanna do that... ]

But I've told you, have I not? That what matters to me is getting what I am owed.
inordertobelieve: (stern: scrutiny)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-02-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
If she dies now, you're just going to leave us to fend entirely for ourselves.

[ HE'S TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO CONTRACT AND THIS IS GETTING VERY HARD. Vaguely, he's aware of attempts to stab the Lady in the background and part of him hopes they'll hurry up, even if he's still trying for an alternate solution. ]
drydrown: (WINK ♡ rip you all to pieces of course!)

[ ♡ THESE ARROWS ARE COATED IN POISON ♡ ]

[ ♡ IF HE SHOOTS YOU, IT WILL KILL YOU ♡ ]

[ ♡ IT WILL HURT THE ENTIRE TIME YOU ARE DYING ♡ ]

[ ♡ ARE YOU SURE ♡ ]

[ ........ ]

As tempting at that is, I would like to leave this place myself. After all, I'll be out of a job in this scenario.
bawcock: (o14)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-02-16 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Maybe in some other universe Erik knew the arrows were coated in poison and considered stopping!! He wants to survive this, wants to go back to his friends, wants to see his sister again—

But right now, in this moment, he's sure about this. He's gonna keep running to get between Rideaux and the Lady!

If Cumore is going to shoot, he might as well shoot!

[ ... so you'd want a contract then and maybe he can try being more deliciously tempting for a bit. Okay, that's... that's something. Just don't kill everyone here. ]

We'll kill her.

[ Time to turn towards the lady because he, too, would now like to murderize her. But uh... wow there's a lot going on. ]
baitless: trumpets.... (Default)

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-16 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
...

What are your plans, if we all just... go our separate ways?
reanbeans: (11)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-02-16 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ He started to also see what was going down with uh the threatening and he's very not okay with that!! ...Even if he's very okay with the Lady dying. ]

Let me go.

[ His expression was cycling between anger and also fear-induced anger because of everything going to shit. ]

Erik, stand down. Please.

Ah, I'll have to start thinking about them won't I? But as of right now, I'd like to explore this world a little. [ tbf he wouldn't be their problem in this case so. ]
