[ Vi with her boosted agility scarf GETS ON THE HYDRA'S BACK, but Silco simply pulls Jinx with him onto another hydra. Vi can probably leap across the heads to follow, but now that she's up here she may hear a faint ticking noise.
Down below, Kiruko activates Pride, but even with the boost of +2 the 5... well, given Maru, this seems to work enough to redirect his attention to Miyako. He charges at her, tackling her with a swing of his fists as her gun points upward suddenly and catching him in the shoulder. With the two of them distracted, it leaves Kiruko and Miyu to the thinning swarm of monsters that swing with hands and clubs. Most of the hydra heads are now interested in bucking Vi off, giving Silco a little step ladder to walk away from her.
Below, King continues to attack Nine, even with the pained noises each time the skull's beaten down. It cracks, little thin fracture lines taking over as it shivers and shakes.
Or maybe that's the whole chamber shaking? And above the cacophony of noise... the chains rattle again, this time drawing closer.
[ forgive me for making a reference from like a decade ago but not the mysterious ticking noise
she's single-mindedly trying to get to silco, but the ticking does actually catch her attention. she pauses where she's climbing up the necks, clinging tightly so it can't throw her off, and frantically looks around for what she ASSUMES is a bomb. she knows her sister, unfortunately. her only hope is it isn't that fuckass monkey.
there's something in her that struggles on which name to use, on which she's settled on. her sister is gone, right, that's what she decided, but still -- still. ]
Powder! [ she shouts, over the rumbling of the chains. ] Powder, just - come here! Come here!
[ our characters don't know how badly i rolled... maybe the boon was just kind of mid. but it does get maru running off to go fight a bunny girl. leaving his back exposed. the graphic on the back of his jumpsuit practically looks like a target... ]
... Sorry. See you back in the real world.
[ kiruko points... and pulls the trigger.
there's an intense flash of light and a surge of energy as a laser beam blasts forth from the gun, burning through anything in its path.
for the next few moments, kiruko stands still, gun still in hand... until one of the other monsters takes a swing with a club. there's a heavy thwack, and kiruko is thrown across the room like a ragdoll. ]
[ this boon sucks! no just kidding she doesn't even really get magic and things like that. any help is good help. instead she is briefly distracted because what the fuck kind of gun is THAT?? A LASER GUN?????
with maru attacking miyako and kiruko shooting in that direction, maybe that's covered for now. miyu is feeling uncharacteristically tired here, actually, so she lets herself fall back against a pillar to stay upright. then she fires the rocket launcher twice - first towards the thinning mob enemies. and then in front of silco, trying to limit his movement without risking hitting. whoever this powder person is that vi seems to care about. ]
[ he hates this. while it isn't really his brother, king is still like his best friend among his siblings. nine is recoiling a bit with every pained sound and expression this king is making as he continues to bring back his fist to slam into it, breaking it further and further. there's blood over his fists from all the skull shards which is probably making this nice and slippery. ]
[ The kirubeam is fired, and it burns in a straight path right through Maru's back and straight into Miyako's front. It's a torrential downpour of blood and viscera splashing back on the closest members. Probably Miyu and Kiruko, actually. Yuck... Kiruko goes flying and Miyu's slouching, but her rocket launcher sends a missile straight into a horde of monsters, sending up another blast of magma. The missile heading toward Silco almost seems to slow down though, moving at a decelerated rate.
Nine's losing his grip, and the face of the hydra flickers from monster to friend, and it bites down one last time to lock around his hand before the skull shudders and shatters apart, disconnecting from the hydra's next. The blood might make it hard to remove, but you have to try, don't you?
And then... the girl pauses, looking at Vi for a moment. She looks at the hand, and then at the girl, and she shrugs. ]
"Still don’t get huh, sis? I’m always with you. Even when we’re worlds apart... too bad you won't ever see mine."
[ Violet does in fact know her sister. She knows there's a bomb, and unfortunately she knows her brand. The rattling of the chains increases, and from the back of the room they will all see a dark hooded figure, a scythe in hand and chains dragging behind.
Death comes for us all...
The ticking and the rattling grow louder and louder. Death seems to be watching, and as the monkey's cymbals begins to clap at a rapid pace.... ]
"Pow."
[ BOOM.
The explosion rattles the whole room, and the walls tumble down around them. Rocks and glass and green fire, all of it surrounds you as the hydras suddenly retreat, taking Jinx and Silco with them. Two more heads pick up what remains of Maru and Miyako, clamped in their teeth as they disappear through the walls. You soon realize why as you hear the sound of crackling over the dull ringing in your ears.
The floor suddenly gives way, and you fall. Deep, down down down into the abyss, tumbling through the darkness with no control for speed or your own consciousness. Perhaps you should have taken those warnings seriously. Escape is just a dream, isn't it? Why would you want to leave anyway? Is revenge really so important? You can make new friends here, why do you need to see the old ones? With enough time, you won't even think about your unanswered questions.
These are things you can think about later though... you plunge straight into a thick, red pool and sink straight to the bottom.
