James: Ah. Mindreader. -she snaps her fingers and the knife melts, wrapping around Grace's hand. Grace's dagger does the same, trapping both her hands- And, Kira, my life is already a vivid nightmare. At least the first part of it.
Thorne: Hello. My name is Thorne. They/them pronouns, please. Who are you?
Cloven: Turns away and walks a little bit away, though not leaving. She sits down.
Odd forms of fighting..but nothing in comparison to what happens in the Wastelands.
She says, to no one in particular. Still, she continues to observe
???: Such intriguing little morsels, aren't they all?
???: Enough of the talk, when's the killing?!
???: Patience brother, in due time
They didn't give their name, they instead made a quick grabbing motion at their shoulder, their hand glowed for a moment and blew the hair off their shoulder, revealing another odd rock before they pulled a double sided spear from it. "Don't touch her!" They growled, standing up, wobbling slightly, using the spear to prop themselves up then pointed it at Thorne as they secured their stance into a battle-ready way.
Dashing exactly just close enough to stab a short knife, or perhaps a syringe into James, Isobel pulled out a syringe at the last minute and stabs it into James, depressing all of the liquid into her, more than what she usually gives. James' body goes [limp or whatever. the liquid is a paralytic/sleeping thing]
Thorne: Touch who? -they ready their sword- Kid, I'm not going to attack you. Unless, of course, you attack me. Now, why don't we just… talk about this? Mmm?
James: Wha… -she falls to the floor, but remains sort of awake. She blinks quickly, fighting whatever it was that Isobel gave her- What'd you do? -she shakes her head, then stabs her remaining knife into her arm- Wake up! -she screams, dark magenta blood dripping down her arm-
"Anything to protect my best friend," Isobel said cooly. "Thanks Iz," Grace said.
James: Wake up! I can't… -she pulls the dagger out from her arm, breathing hard- WAKE UP! -her eyes clear, and she shakily gets to her feet- You are going to suffer for that. -she extends a shaking hand towards Grace. The metal around Grace's hands starts moving up her arm. It climbs to her neck and wraps around it, tightening to the point of discomfort-
"Oh. You're not here for her." She calmed down slightly, but was obviously still agitated, she didn't like how they were speaking to her, like she was beneath them, yet she got close to the window and, without looking at them said "Move a little, won't you? I wouldn't like it if your weight prevents my escape." As she looked at something out of sight due to the angle of the 'orbs' landing.
Kira: She watches the scene in horror and starts tugging on Danny's sleeve. "Danny! Bop him! Bop him now!"
Danny: "You know how I feel about bopping random people! I take it back. Knock him out for now."
Kira: "Thank God." She pulls out a similar bag of galaxy powder and throws it at James, knocking her out immediately instead of slowly sedating her. "Dream of death of you and your loved ones, Wasserbuffel!"
Thorne: As you wish. -they move out of the way- Now, tell me. Who is this mysterious "her", hmm?
Isobel grabs the dagger from James' arm, and her eyes hardened with indifference. SHe could have no feelings if she was to do this. Pressing the dagger to James' neck, she spoke. "Release my friend, or I kill you," she threatened. Murderous intent flashed in Isobel's eyes briefly, but not before Grace looked away.
James: -her eyes open, having fought her way back to consciousness- Kill me? -she laughs, although it's a bit strained- Oh, if only it were that simple. Go ahead, try it! Let's see what happens.
???: Mm, the sheep are growing restless…
???: Has started pacing, lips twitching, revealing fangs lining his jaws. Seems extremely impatient, snarling under his breath
When brother?! I want blood now!
???: Rolls his eyes at the other, making a 'tsk' noise
Patience never was your strong suit damn fool. Wait for the sheep to panic, easy pickings that way
Cloven: Well, this is rather entertaining. I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.. She watches from her spot
Kira: Her eyes widen in surprise. "That… that's not possible. This should've knocked you into a deep sleep!"
Danny: "Here, let me release that real quick!" Danny waves the Scythe over her neck and smoke collects around it. The smoke then suddenly shifts and leaves her bare neck, and it moves over to the ground to disperse and leave the metal band on the floor. "It's okay Kira, you know your powers can't do everything, and I'm sure your powers aren't up to whatever he can do."
James: Boring! -she snaps her fingers and the metal ring melts into a pool of molten metal, which flows into the air, once again wrapping around Grace's neck again and tightening even more- Come on, we have to give Isobel a little motivation! She won't kill me if her friend's not in danger!
Kira: "Danny, curse or not, I will take your Scythe and BOP THE HECK OUT OF HIM."
Danny: "You know what, I don't know what will happen but…" As quick as lightning, he teleports right behind James and pokes the top of her head with his Scythe. Her body tumbles to ash and the metal releases. "Yeah, that probably just sent her back where she came from. Last time I tried it on a demon/immortal they just came right back. She'll be back."
She pressed a button and a sinkhole appeared right where they used to be standing, she stuck her spear into the sides of it then grabbed on and flipped herself out, pulling out the spear at the last second. And as she came out from the orb that was now visibly a spaceship of some sort, it was clear to see that she wasn't just in fact normally dark-skinned, but that she was a deep shade of purple.
She hesitated before holding out the eye shaped stone. "Her." She said.
Thorne: -they peer closely at the stone- Pretty! That's… pretty. What is… "her", exactly?
James: -stormes out of a red and blue portal- The Ed? What was that you just did? "Bop" me? -she sighs angrily- You know what? Fine. -she holds up her right hand and closes it into a fist. Instantly, most of the air is stolen from Grace's lungs, making it very difficult to breathe-
Isobel growled and bared her teeth. She pressed the dagger harder against James' neck, producing blood. "Let. Her. Go," she said. "I don't want to have to do this, but I will do whatEVER is necessary to free her." Even death, she said in her head.
Cloven: She considers intervention, and seems to walk over a bit closer, but decides not to say anything for now.
James: Mmm, okay. Go ahead! I'm curious to see what happens.
She looked at them with a face that looked like they had asked the dumbest question of all time. "She, she is Tiger's Eye."
Thorne: I see. No need to look at me like that, kid. -they cross their arms- So, how'd you end up hurtling through the sky in a fiery ball?
