the first [voice]

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

Evenin'.

[sup tower, how's it goin'. have one (1) very very ticked off aquatic troll staring at the screen. even if you were used to seeing his species, he's a bit.. notable. mostly due to the fact that he's the kind one can instantaneously recognize as a villain-type. maybe it's the crazy collar. or the sneer revealing perfectly serrated teeth. or the deep, jagged scars running diagonally across his face.

something like that, anyway. point is, like most other arrivals, he's not exactly delighted to be here.]

If someone would be so... kind as to further explain the situation I find myself in, that would be appreciated. Perhaps I'll even spare you if it seems useful enough, hm? That said, if any 'a the imperial forces are here, now would be the time to make yourself known. If not, it should already be established I have little patience for cowards or traitors.

Consider this your warning.

[yep, and it's off. no "thank you for your time" or any of that nonsense, apparently.]

(ooc: action to anyone who wants it! he'll be wondering about the second floor. a warning, though: chances are, he's going to be out for blood.)

[ONE DAY.

One day she will learn that not every noise needs to be investigated]

...oops.

[Creeping away now]

[F I N A L L Y someone who isn't a lowblood and worthless.]

Good evening, Orphaner.

...wow. No wonder Eridan has no manners!

[What is self-preservation?]

[Action]

[thekidsare0kay]

[He overheard the troll speaking and didn't think anything of it, but as he comes around the corner and looks at him, he can't help but stare. Either Eridan got scarred up and big and a lot less lame, or this is his ancestor. And he really isn't sure which.

Oh well. Time to find out. He saunters up, really not worried. What's he going to do, shoot him? LOL.]

...Hey?

action

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[n o p e not so fast. fast, however, is the sword that thinly embeds itself in the wall adjacent, blocking her from further escape. overly dramatic? justttt a little bit. follow its hilt and the hand gripping it, and you'll eventually see that the highblood is no longer frowning as severely. instead, it's been replaced by a smirk.]

My, my. Seems I've got both a coward and a traitor in my midst.

[video]

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[holy cod, the first voice he expected to hear from this little device was not the empress's. however surprising, it's particularly unmistakable to him. excuse the fading shock in his voice; nevermind the giveaway expression.]

... Your Highness.

[and despite only being video, have a low bow.]

[ video ]

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

Manners? Those would be reserved for ones who deserve such.

[hiivemiindiing.livejournal.com]

Here cometh another one.

[Action]

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[not today!! nevermind the double ahab's crosshairs within this place, he opted for a rusted cutlass. attempting to destroy his room with laser beams and finding them ineffective was a tad disheartening. so yes turning to the source of the voice and staring right back, because gee, don't you look familiar!

also nevermind the putrid yellow blood already making his stomach churn in revulsion. he raises an eyebrow at him, weapon at his side.]

... You are?

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

"Another one". Specify.

[discipleo.livejournal.com]

[Wow overdramatic aren't we. Does having purple blood lead to drama. Disciple feels this is so.]

It's not cowardly to try to avoid culling.

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[all the drama, all of it. he twists the sword from the wall and points it toward her, though it's angled slightly downward. and, mockingly:]

Some would argue otherwise. Wouldn't it be more noble to fight for your life, or is that against his teachings too?

action;

[allthefeelings.livejournal.com]

[oh god oh wow oh man this is the coolest thing ever. IT'S ONLY HIS FREAKING AWESOME ANCESTOR, IS ALL. This is the best thing that could have happened, he is going to learn so much.

But fuck, is it embarrassing his collar is even lower than his ancestor's. The scarf is even more carefully tucked about the stupid yellow monstrosity as he doesn't bother responding via computer and goes straight out to search for Dualscar.]

[discipleo.livejournal.com]

[She rolled her eyes and crept backwards, trying to find a way around him. She is never going anywhere without her claws again.]

Of course I'm allowed to defend myself. Hardly fair to fight against me unarmed though. Not noble.

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[CONGRATULATIONS. your SMIRK has evolved into a GRIN.]

Yes, nothin' noble in fightin' an unarmed land dweller. Only killin' one.

[with that he lunges forward, arm and sword outstretched, and attempts to stick her straight through the abdomen.]

[hiivemiindiing.livejournal.com]

You know what?

video;

[hiivemiindiing.livejournal.com]

We don't really feel like it right now.

[discipleo.livejournal.com]

[She darts left, just catching the sword in her side. HE GETS A HISS as she tries to pull it out]

Let your empress do her own dirty work!

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[a chuckle, though inwardly he is miffed by her words. the sheer insolence of land dwellers.. the fact that they would even say a word against their leader, let alone act in full rebellion as this midblood has done. seeing it spilled is only righteous.]

I wouldn't want her to dirty her hands in the first place.

[he yanks the sword viciously-- not out, but toward her. the aim of the action is to knock her off balance as he advances upon her.]

[video]

[cullionfish.livejournal.com]

[Just the response she was looking for. It's about fucking time. Her bloodthirsty, sharklike grin spreads wide in delight, preening ever so slightly despite being on camera.]

About time this worthless hole gave me something of value to work with.

video;

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

Then in time.

[discipleo.livejournal.com]

[She hissed in pain and scrambled to yank the sword out--except then he yanked and she stumbled back]

Shouldn't you find out what she wants? Purrlease. [She winces at that]

[video]

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[the smallest of swallows. all right, so the butterflies he gets is more than a little offputting and makes it hard not to.. well, look like an overgrown wriggler in front of her. goddamn. she receives the smallest of smiles in return, though it vanishes in light of her words.]

I take it the lowbloods have not been showing the courtesy you deserve?

[video]

[cullionfish.livejournal.com]

[A sigh.]

You would be correct. We are also surrounded by wrigglers, though thankfully, they are far more obedient than their ancestors.

[Pause.]

Most of them.

[dualscars.livejournal.com]

[now that gives him pause. about a second of it, but a pause nonetheless. and then he rids himself of the thought that he may not, in fact, know what She wants, but of course she would want this traitor dead--

he growls in annoyance of it all, taking a step forward for every one she took back, and lifts the sword high to strike again.]
