[Open] too many cooks

[alephbet]

Characters: Catch-all post for Mini's characters (Aleph, Katsuya Suou, Zett Takajo, V/V, Ryuunosuke Uryuu) and you!
Setting: Arouund the tower.
Format: Starting with action brackets, will match anything.
Summary: The weather keeps changing and it's a jerk :|
Warnings: Ryuunosuke's threads with Kariya and Waverhave blood, violence, mutilation, and death.

[Spring, Aleph, meadow]
[Hiding under a tree, Aleph tries to dry out his Arm Terminal, which is starting to go on the fritz. His demons are out and surrounding him - too dangerous to keep them in a malfunctioning device.]

It's no good...

[He sighs and leans against the tree as the rain pours around them.]

[Spring, Katsuya Suou, sauna]
[Katsuya slides his family photos inside the sauna locker. They're already mostly soaked, but he can't bear to throw them out yet. Maybe they'll dry out and be salvageable?

That done, he groans and paces the floor.]

[Summer, Zett Takajo, space projection floor]
[Zett isn't too concerned about lightning, it being his natural element...

And it looks really cool on this floor.]

Maybe I should try the caverns next!

[Autumn, Ryuunosuke Uryuu, staircase]
[Whoopsy-daisy! Ryuunosuke just slipped on a pile of leaves and fell onto the floor on his butt.]

Owww...

[How dangerous this is depends on the particular floor he just fell onto.]

[Winter, V/V, dorm floors]
[V/V has had a brilliant idea.

See, there are lots of unoccupied rooms on the fifth floor, right? And they have four beds apiece, and those beds have blankets. So she goes from room to room, gathering blankets and piling them all together.

Other people may see her as a giant pile of blankets walking around on its own.]

Comments

[Ryuunosuke pulls out some of his guts and examines them, seemingly not paying attention to Waver still crying in pain for a moment in favor of his insides.]

Wow, they're super pretty... You're lucky, y'know. See what was inside you? [He holds the dripping guts in front of Waver's eyes.]

[nonacquiescent]

W-what the hell's pretty...about that?!

[The exertion of shouting at him makes Waver wince, more blood rising in his throat.]

[kindofademon]

The vivid color, the texture - I guess it's useless trying to explain to you. [He shrugs and carelessly drops them.]

[nonacquiescent]

Y-you're sick...

[He gasps, the pain clear in his voice and on his face, though he still makes a great effort to glare defiantly.]

[kindofademon]

Maybe, but I'm having fun, and it looks like you're not.

[He twirls his knife.] What should I go for next?

[nonacquiescent]

[Maybe he should bite his tongue, for his own sake in several ways, but, he can't help mumbling...]

Maybe you should quit while you're ahead...

[kindofademon]

No, no, I can't take your head off, you'll die too quickly. Silly you.

[nonacquiescent]

[Waver scowls, but a moment later, cries out in pain as fresh tears spring to his eyes. He clamps a hand over his stomach, pushing against it. As much as he wants to act tough, it's too difficult to keep it up.]

[kindofademon]

You're noisy. [Ryuunosuke reaches toward Wavers's mouth and grabs hold of his tongue. While Waver probably tries to bite him, he carefully slides the knife over the front part of his tongue.]

[nonacquiescent]

[Predictably, he does try, it's probably his last chance, although at this point, knowing he'll be brought back the next day, he would rather die and be healed. But that would give Ryuunosuke some satisfaction, so it definitely isn't an option.

When he sees the knife coming, he tries to pull back, eyes growing wider.]

[kindofademon]

[Swiftly, Ryuunosuke slices through Waver's tongue. He leans back to survey his work.]

There, that should shut you up for a while.

[nonacquiescent]

[A weak, high-pitched sobbing is all Waver can manage. As much as he tries to hold back, it's just too much. Trying not to choke on the blood filling his mouth is effort enough.]

[kindofademon]

[Ryuunosuke lets him do that longer than Waver probably wants to before speaking up again.]

Shame about the retrieval units... I can't do anything with your body once you're dead. Sucks to be both of us, I guess.

there just is no icon for this

[nonacquiescent]

[If Waver could speak, he would definitely make some sarcastic remark. But as it is, that's not happening. He tries to reach for Ryuunosuke's leg again, to do what other than bleed on him, he isn't sure, but it's a vain effort anyway, it's only a moment before he goes limp and lifeless.]

why don't you keep gory icons on hand huh, that's so shortsighted

[kindofademon]

[After the retrieval units show up, Ryuunosuke gets bored and goes away.]
