Blaze's expression turns exceedingly violent as she fixes the man with a stare of unheard of levels of menace.

"I was not talking to you, sir." she says silkily.

Just as the man is about to speak up again, Sylvia clears her throat, speaking over everyone. “Uh- well, now that you’ve gotten to know each other… I guess I should give a more in-depth explanation of what it’s going to look like in the next couple of weeks.” She looks around at everyone. “So… please stop fighting.” She shoots a look at the man, and he glares right back at her.

Daphne doesn’t seem to give any response to Sylvia, other than glancing up at her and relaxing a tiny bit.

Tseth looks over at Sylvia, admittedly curious at what she has to say. And the slightest bit relieved that they’ll finally know why they’re here. But… next couple of weeks? He’d have to find a way out of here before then.

Blaze's eyes flash.

"Two weeks?" she repeats, clearly more than pissed.

Sylvia is being pinned back against a wall by the throat before she can say another word.

"It's bad enough that you abducted me. That you fucked with my family. But keeping me fro m my duties for two weeks? Do you even realise the scope of your actions? How many thousands of people will lose their lives because you took one of their hopes away?" she hisses.

Sylvia stiffens, staring at Blaze with wide eyes. “I- I’m sorry, ma’am, but I don’t- I don’t have any control over how long you- you stay-“

Lucas, who was watching everything in silence, suddenly shouts when Blaze pins Sylvia. “Sylvia-!”

Daphne looks at Blaze, her anxiety getting worse by the minute. Definitely gonna stay away from her-

Blaze squeezes Sylvia's neck harder, stopping her from talking again.

"Choose your next words very carefully, Girl. Who. Do you. Work for. I won't take 'I don't know' as an answer," she says silkily, clearly itching for a reason to snap Sylvia's neck.

(It’s getting exceedingly difficult to make this situation an actual challenge for Blaze sobs)

Lucas whimpers. “Stop it! Please-!” He’s clearly scared for Sylvia.

Daphne makes a small, distressed noise, then looks down, squeezes her eyes shut, and covers her ears.

Tseth walks over to Blaze and Sylvia, grabbing Blaze’s wrist with his metal hand. Not a very good idea, but she won’t be able to escape it’s grasp. “Make a move and I snap your wrist. Let the woman speak, please. I know you’re not happy about this, but none of us are. At least let her finish before you crush her windpipe as well, yes?”

Salmook flinches at Blaze's sudden violence. She may not've been a jabby-lady, but she was definitely just as bad as one.
He didn't like her - too dangerous. But Blaze didn't like it when Salmook talked, so he stuck his tongue out instead. What made her so mad anyways? Something about a "week?" Oohh, the jabby-girl must've called Blaze weak.
Salmook watches Tseth as he grabs Blaze's wrist. He's very brave, dumb as a rock, or maybe both. Salmook keeps his distance.

(To be fair, if she had her weapons, this all would've been over much faster, so yeah- also, I love the fact that she's turning out to be the least stable. It's not how she is in the story, but we'll roll with it.)
(Also, apologies to Tseth but he asked for it-)

Blaze's eyes flash.

As she turns, she uses Sylvia as a shield, blocking whatever blow may come, before tossing her to the side.

She flips over Tseth, ending up behind him, and uses the grip he has on her arm to toss him halfway to the ceiling.

She's breathing slightly harder than before.

"Don't. Touch me."

Salmook shrieks and staggers back. What in the stars?! One heartbeat, Tseth is holding danger-lady by the arm, and the next beat he's in the air. Demon!
Salmook hides behind his chair, half-ready to throw it. It wouldn't go very far, but it's the thought that counts.

Daphne looks up, and sees Blaze throwing Tseth into the air. She jumps to her feet and suddenly yells at Blaze. “STOP IT!” She looks absolutely terrified of Blaze. “Uh- please..?”

Sylvia quickly stands up and backs away from Blaze. “Please, lets all stop fighting-“

Blaze slides into a low, feral crouch and snarls at Daphne. Her pale eyes burn with a violent air. She didn't want to be here, so she was taking that anger out on anyone nearby.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the next nearest person happened to be Daphne.
