monday's child is fair of face (2/2)

CW: death, probably gore, possibly more TBA

[and that’s what you missed on glee.

and so, there “Friday” is, standing on the roof of the bar. the attention of the party has surely turned to her by this point, but she doesn’t care about that. she just needs one person to still be a little too distracted to stop what was coming next.

Monday snaps her fingers, and Jenny disappears from wherever she was standing before, reappearing directly in front of Monday, who embraces her from behind, an arm wrapped firmly around her middle. those with enhanced senses might catch what she whispers, seconds before she snaps Jenny’s neck so hard it hangs at a 90 degree angle as Monday kicks her, her corpse toppling forward onto the deck below.]


Surprise, bitch.

[well, there. unfinished business settled. onto more pertinent matters.]

Let’s get a little more comfortable first, hm? Can’t waste too much of her magic, but audiences love a quick change.

[she snaps her fingers, and Monday finds herself in an outfit that is far more to her taste. now. time for her grand performance.]

Greetings, foolish mortals! You may or may not have noticed that things have been a little bit different this month. While the Captain is off having a good old bitch cry about whatever it is he’s so upset about, poor little Friday was running herself ragged keeping this shitheap floating! She was so distracted, in fact, that she happened to have a little accident, while fixing something in the elevator shaft! [a laugh] I guess even clay bitches can break their necks! And there I was, sitting in Fucking Nowhere, doing Fucking Nothing, feeling Fucking. Nothing! And I saw her empty shell. And I was, like, hey, free real estate!

Whatever tear in the veil that your whiny little Captain just didn’t feel like fixing? I ripped that fucker right open. And you’ve all met a few of the sorry little fuckers that fell out already, hm? [another snap] Not all of them, but, hey, that’s what now is for, right? Because, see, we all kinda got together a little bit, and we were like… You know, just borrowing some shitty bodies to have some fun for a few weeks? What a waste! And we still have a lot of bitches we need to spring from jail!

And that! Is where you assholes come in! And, trust me, you are all assholes. Have you even seen some of the psychotic shit you people have said and done to us? Like, yeah, Mary is legitimately insane, but she’s still a kid! Even I’m not gonna call a fucking nine year old a bitch!

You can try to run, but I fucking hate running in heels, so I made that a little bit… difficult. So. Why don’t you nice people just lay down and let us kill you. I’ll be gentle. Promise.

[perhaps people have tried to flee already. they likely have. and they’ve found that the entire party area has been blocked off by the same sort of barrier that surrounds the realm, an invisible orb holding them captive.]

Now. Let’s get the actual party started!

Of course Undine's immediately going to transform, and as she does, all the water floats out of the pool in one large blorble, hovering over the party like her personal orb of ammunition. She's ready to fight; she's ready to defend her friends. She looks around for whoever's going to make the first murderous move, eyes glowing vividly.

"What the fuck?!"

Oh, that's a perfect beacon. Dimitri maneuvers to put his back to Undine's, hands raised while he's facing her before dropping into a guard.

"How well can you defend?" he asks, voice raised, eyes flicking through the dark, sick-sweet shadows. "Can you do anything about this fog?"

[ That. Actually catches him off-guard a little. ]

Yes? And?

You're going to kill us all. Am I supposed to be offended you didn't like my letter?

[ Monday's out of reach, and he's not abandoning Undine's back to chase a teleporter. Also, Dimitri genuinely doesn't understand half of what she's saying. When was he in a closet? ]

"The fog's not water, I don't have any direct control of it. But I can guard your back. Just...stick with me, for now."

It sucks, being pulled right back into doing the work, when you've realized how fucked up the work is. But she also knows sitting this out is really, really not an option.

"And I'll guard yours. Can you see the others? Darcy, SecUnit, Erin?" He knows things are rough between them right now, but Goddess willing it won't be bad enough they can't fight together.

Definitely a bad sign that this is the most normal and comfortable Dimitri's felt all month, but he can interrogate that later.

"SecUnit's down." She managed to catch the sight of Pickles gunning the...supersoldier? Whatever it is...down. "Erin's out there somewhere, I'm sure of it. Darcy, too."

The water, the water is her weapon, but she needs solid targets to wield it against.

[personal profile] prince_of_beasts 2022-10-26 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Dimitri hisses through his teeth. He'd been counting on SecUnit -- now they just have to hope someone else doesn't get back up in its body.

They'll all be targets sooner or later; there's little point prolonging it. And drawing attention to two real fighters will ease the pressure on the ones hiding. The fog puffs away in a burst of clear air as Dimitri shouts, voice booming across the pool deck. "DARCY! ERIN!"

Ruby appears at Undine's side in a familiar burst of petals and Crescent Rose unfolds with familiar sounds of metal against metal and moving parts, blade embedding in the ground behind her. They knew something like this was coming, didn't they. At least they had a few hours, but—

This is going to rocket up the list of bad birthdays, isn't it...?

"Undine. If you need help, yell and I will be right there, okay? Just hold out a hand when you see the petals, like we practiced."
