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?

2/2
Funny thing about bags is that they're convenient. They carry a lot of stuff.
Funny thing about detonating glass is that shards make for some good weapons. Good things to bring with you when you're going into a fight and don't know what you're expecting.
Funny thing about people who can't sleep easily but want to adhere to a schedule is that they record a lot of silence.
Funny thing about orders is that when a room is silenced, it's very hard to give them.
You're getting a jar sent in your direction, Lucrezia. Slid across the floor in your direction. And when it's close enough to hopefully have her firmly in range...well.
Off goes Sonui. Hopefully to silence enough of the room that it matters.
And if that works, have fun telling your pet demon to save you.]

Well played, Cumore, Iago, well played.
That seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Everyone dies now. Lucrezia raises her flamethrower, activating it with as much potency as it can have, and throws it onto the ground, some distance towards them. The flamethrower rattles and jumps around a little, erratically spinning. That should help keep them away from Lucrezia.
After all, she has a duel with Rean and Raven.
Lucrezia is trying to keep Rean and Raven between her and the rest as much as possible, as a precaution for bullets and arrows, but yeah, looks like using Sonui is indeed a step in the right direction]

Still, the Gravitas seems to have been a bad idea. A burst of the machine makes the gate flash for a moment. Uh-oh.
The flamethrower is hit with the bullets, making it jump in the air in an arch before falling a couple inches aside. Now that's dangerous! Better not to get close to it!]

Just going to gestures at the others to see if they have any ideas to take the flame thrower out. ]

also that's a lot of fire
anyway, he's going to be. very pointedly ignoring mikami completely but otherwise good luck out there guys]
no subject
But they have a fight to watch and flames to try and avoid, so he's just.... not going to deal with that other than glancing over at Cumore from time to time, because hhh. ]

That's not what Cumore said last night--]no subject
that said, he's messing with another one of those jars, in case they run out of their ten-minute limit; he doesn't have an infinite number of these things but he brought a couple with him in case we needed glass detonating for whatever reason. he's not doing anything with it just yet, just...kind of turning it between his hands. nervous more than anything.]
