[Richtofen whips around as well, putting his blood-soaked hands to his cheeks.]

Oh, it's you! How nice of you to join us. [He kicks a body lying by his feet.] Sorry about the mess. Our bad.

[animusnpcs]

Yes, of course. Just a mistake, I'm sure. Or a temper tantrum. [His tone says he's voting for the latter.] Are you done?

[doctor_dismemberment]

[Richtofen glares with his eyes, but his lips are twisted into a grin. Rather than reply, he turns his attention to all the excitement with Lancer and Nesir.]

Ahaha! Kill them! Kill them all!

[He isn't one to just sit and watch, of course. He pulls out a grenade, rips the pin out with his teeth, and tosses it toward the group of drones and Jason.]

Die!

[animusnpcs]

[A retrieval unit reaches out to grab the grenade. It vanishes upon contact with the retrieval unit's hand.]

Well, that was an appropriately potentially suicidal move for you.

[doctor_dismemberment]

[There is no bigger buzz kill than your grenade not exploding, except for maybe the grenade vanishing into thin air. Richtofen's smile turns into a scowl, and he takes a few steps forward, making sure to stomp on bodies as he goes.]

No fair! Why don't you fight us without all the stupid magic, hmm? I am sure everyone here would love that!

[Sorry, Jason. He doesn't even really have much beef with you personally, but you're the admin who came down, so...]

[stalemates]

Hey, that's no fair, Ricky only has a few of those!

[Yes that's the nickname she just came up with for Richtofen.

But more importantly, to follow that up, she creates another exploding candy just behind the retrieval units, hoping to get behind their defences and to Jason himself.]

[animusnpcs]

[The retrieval units react impossibly quickly--while it does appear, it's stomped on and vanishes in an instant. The units move faster than Jason himself does, but he presses a button on his watch and disables Lambda's magic.]

He shouldn't be wasting them, then.

[stalemates]

Ack--!!

[Oh no u di'in't.]

Hey, hey, what did you do?! That's impossible! No way!!

[She's just going to jump up and down like a kid throwing a tantrum in the grocery store.]

I need that!

[animusnpcs]

And you'll get it back later. But right now you need a time out.

[He's condescendingly indulgent in his tone, like a parent explaining why that kid in the grocery store can't have any candy.]

[stalemates]

[But Lambda needs that candy.]

No wa-ay! Don't you know who you're talking to?! Show a little respect! Really, humans these days!

[animusnpcs]

I don't see what you're going to do if I don't.

[stalemates]

...

[She sticks her tongue out, hands on her hips.]

I'll get Bern to put a curse on you, of course~

juuuuuuuuuuumps on in here

[wittlich]

[ Sure enough...Bern teleports herself into the room, a few feet behind Lambda. ]

I prefer hexes.

[animusnpcs]

[The retrieval units are looking at Bernkastel now.]

There's no end to all of you, is there?

[stalemates]

Ah, Bern~♥ I knew you'd come! Now you're in for it!

[wittlich]

[ Completely ignoring Jason, kthx. He is not a part of this conversation. ]

Shall I bring out the cats, or perhaps something different for a change?

[animusnpcs]

This is the problem with children with too many powers--they never receive proper discipline.

[animusnpcs]

I can assure you it's not magic. I'm a man of science, after all. [He shrugs.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

Then I expect that back sometime! Oh, and a gun would be nice, too.

[Yeah, he's still pissed about his request being denied.]

I promise I won't even shoot you with it! I just need to... [He balls his hands into fists, his eye twitching.] ...kill something! I need to! You must let me!

[And then he launches, knife drawn, at one of the retrieval units. Perhaps he wouldn't have done something so stupid if the voices weren't yelling at him, urging him to throw away his sense of self-preservation and just kill the damned things already, kill them, kill them, kill them!]

[animusnpcs]

Haven't you killed enough things already? Well, apparently not.

[The knife will vanish on contact with the retrieval unit.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

It's never eno- Ahh!

[His knife. His knife! The one thing he could count on, something he didn't need ammo to use, his fucking knife is gone and now he can't even stab anything-!

Cue breakdown in 3... 2...]

Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein!!

[He reaches out with the intent to strangle the unit with both hands. There's a wild look on his face, and at this point, he's gone completely unhinged. He might even be past the point of witty one-liners.]

[animusnpcs]

Watching over all of you really is like babysitting, you know.

[Jason presses a button on the watch and disables Richtofen's limbs entirely.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

[All of a sudden, Richtofen feels his limbs give out on him, and he crashes to the ground in a painful heap. The voices are yelling, and his heart is racing, and he does not like that someone can just make his limbs useless like that, but he can barely even writhe where he lays on the floor.]

Verdammt! No! [The side of his face where he landed on it is throbbing, and he cranes his neck up to look at Jason through a haze of pain.] Who do you think you are?! Undo this! The doctor said undo this now, swine! Let me move, let me move, let me move, let me move, let me move!

[If nothing else, he's sure to be extraordinarily insufferable.]

[animusnpcs]

[One of the retrieval units lifts Richtofen up, throwing him over its shoulder as if it were carrying a sack of grain.]

I think we've played this game enough.

[The retrieval unit carries Richtofen back into the elevator and vanishes with him.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

[Richtofen struggles as much as he can, but it's no use when he can't move his limbs. He screams at the top of his lugs, red in the face, using every curse imaginable in both German and English as he's taken away.]
