[mock trial intro] move 'em on, head 'em up

[consolemods]

Whatever you were doing before you got here, it isn't what you're doing now. What you're doing now is waking up in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room with... unfamiliar glasses on your face. No matter what you can do, you can't take those glasses off... but if you roll your eyes down, you'll be given a rundown of what's going on here.

Hmm. Well, that's probably a little unnerving. Maybe you should... leave? Fortunately, your room's not locked, but as you go downstairs and try and ask the locals what's going on, you'll find they're... less than cooperative. And if you go outside the inn and try to leave into the town... well, you'll find several locations around the town, but you'll also find that you can't seem to leave.

Well. Maybe you should talk to the other people who just showed up here. All the locals are going to tell you is an explanation is forthcoming, so you might want to kill some time getting to know each other.

cw: violence, threats on genitalia and swearing....... (the usual)

[monotonality]

SALTY SPLATOON-- EXTRA SALT

[Room 24 is pretty close to the stairs on one side so you may have no trouble hearing a lovely young woman's first opinions on this--]

Fuck this bullshit.

[She's already "daintily" making her way downstairs, only to encounter a group of not so friendly locals, to say the least. She doesn't know why they're displeased but--]

--what the hell are you looking at?

[Her weapon may be gone but that won't stop her from flipping the table the group's sitting at violently, knocking some of the men off their chairs. The one closest to her is unfortunate enough to have her boot between his legs.]

You guys look like you were having a great time before I walked in. Well I like to have fun too. How about we make a bet-- on how much of you comes out of this.

[............................]

[helldestiny]

You don't wait, do you?

[Hi there, you look like you're enjoying yourself. Except...not really. You look as pissed as she feels.]

At least don't waste the booze.

[monotonality]

Wait for what? Someone to stick a knife in my back? No thanks. I don't trust a damn one of these shifty eyed assholes.

[Does she trust anyone? The answer is probably no. Turning back to the guy on the floor however--]

...don't worry. They'll replace it. Won't you?

[Not much disagreeing coming from that one right now, since he's still in the danger zone. She can't say she wouldn't love a drink right about now.]

[helldestiny]

I doubt these guys stand a chance against any of us.

[Shrug. She swipes some booze for herself, and takes a sip--]

...Never mind, have at it with the booze, too!

[And that bottle is smashing into a wall, wheeee]

[monotonality]

They'll piss themselves and run away, just like all the others. I'll rip them all limb from limb if i have to, to get what I want.

[At least someone else seems to understand how she feels here.]

[i_spy]

...is it already that time in the morning? [ Hey there, have some "friendly" words from a man who stands out from the group of locals you're currently assaulting. Mainly because he has this ridiculous visor on too, and is clad completely in red. Oh and he has a ski mask on as well, which clearly isn't suspicious at all. ]

[monotonality]

[She's used to drawing an audience. There's usually a lot more killing though and less talking. But in this case, they're not protecting her sisters so they can live. For now. Shady is fine by her. If you're going to get yourself involved anyway mister--]

See something you like?

[i_spy]

With the addition of present company, perhaps. [ That was easier than he expected to defuse (if that's what he wanted to do in the first place). ]

Did they insult you, mademoiselle?

[monotonality]

You're damn right they did. I could feel their shitty stares from across the room.

[Except she's used to that.]

But what really ticks me off that they're all sitting around down here having a great ole' fucking time while I've been dragged to this shithole. I don't have time to play anyone's damn games.

[i_spy]

Isn't that how these situations always turn out? [ More to himself, but this doesn't seem to be too out of left field for him. ]

I can't say I do either, even if this might be preferable to being trapped on a submarine with scout for over 24 hours.

[acherontiastyx]

...

...

...

Yeah, mess 'em up!

[FUCK IT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN WATCHING THIS CHICK FUCK PEOPLE UP]

[monotonality]

[Heh. Well. Looks like she's not the only person who'd like to see these guys get what's coming. Her grin widens.]

You heard him.

[The others that were at the table take this time to BAIL.]

Looks like it's just you and me now. [From the sound of his screaming, she's making good on that threat.] Listen and listen good. If you and the rest don't want to die horribly, you're going to do something about this shit. Tell me who I need to talk to and maybe I won't have to start emptying out this whole town.

[....she just put her room number on a napkin and threw it at the guy.]

I'm feeling gracious-- you have 24 hours. Now get out of here.

[Finally she lets him move and boy does he ever.]

[acherontiastyx]

[he just watches until she lets the guy go, at which point he approaches!]

Yeah. Nice to see someone actually going ahead and doing something about this garbage.

[monotonality]

[You know. She's not used to people encouraging her choices. And you know what?



...it's not bad.]

I don't know what the hell their problem is, but I don't have the patience for anyone's shit right now.

[If he's with her though that probably means--]

So let me guess. You also woke up here with no goddamn clue how you got here or who the bastard responsible is.

[provocatives]

[...You know, he literally saw this woman flip a table hard enough to knock those guys over, she's currently threatening someone right now and this is absolutely entertaining, but.]

You're the type to skip right past the foreplay, I see. Just try to leave them in one piece, would you? It gets a little difficult to interrogate someone when they're dead.

[Despite what he's saying, he's still just chilling against a wall and not making a move to do anything. Don't mind him, he's mostly just here for the show!!]

[monotonality]

Damn right. I hate to be kept waiting.

[Is she joking along or is she serious? It's actually very much the latter. Zero doesn't joke-- especially on the topics of murder and sex apparently.]

Who cares. There are plenty more where this guy came from.

[provocatives]

But why waste the opportunity you've got? Besides, it's more fun when they can still scream.

[Just gonna leer down at the dude at Zero's feet while he's at it. ]

[monotonality]

[He sure isn't having as much fun as you seem to be. But she is giving him room to scream.]

I'm an impatient girl. If they're not going to be of any use to me then they might as well just die. I have enough men to babysit as it is.

[almightylaziness]

[Yeah, table flipping doesn't bother him much. He's dealt with enough colorful personalities that this isn't too weird.]

Nah, I was bored stiff but it sounds like you may be just what was needed to make this a bit more fun.

[monotonality]

Is that so? Well by all means, let's have some fun. But no crying when I'm done with you.

[almightylaziness]

[He actually laughs at that.]

If you actually can hurt me I'd just enjoy it more.

[monotonality]

Another masochist. Just what I needed.

[Still--]

Fine. Since I'm already worked up I'll give you what you want. But if you bore me I'm going back to sleep.

[cruxiscrystals]

Easy, easy! [A smiling young man will lightly wave his arms in front of her.]

Let's not resort to violence right away, yes? There are plenty of other ways to have fun.

[monotonality]

[...oh great. A kid. That can't possibly be deceiving or anything.]

Yeah? You have a better idea about what to do with these guys? Because I'm not a fan of getting murdered in my sleep.

[Because anyone that looks at you wrong obviously is thinking about killing you!!]

[cruxiscrystals]

Certainly we wouldn't want to fight violence with violence, would we?

No one is going to get killed so long as we all trust each other.

[A roll of his hand.]

Besides...the moment you get violent is the moment you become the one people will want to pin the crime on, don't you think? It's its own kind of self preservation.
