[There's a pause before any words are spoken, Ishimaru hasn't used the recording equipment here before and he's making sure it's working properly. When he seems content, he smiles cheerfully, addressing his audience.]

Good morning! It seems most people have had a chance to explore the newly built floors. I hope you all exercised caution in doing so!

[The chipper smile on his face fades slightly.]

As well, I would like to make sure it is known that the hazardous conditions are not an excuse for rule-breaking! If I find anyone behaving poorly, on my honor as a disciplinary committee head, I will see you punished for your actions.

Notably, it seems that some of you also need a reminder that cannibalism is strictly prohibited. Those found guilty of such a thing will face severe penalties!

[Ishimaru of course notices that wince, and it makes him smile a little.]

Twisted? Is that the best you can come up with? You're really not very creative, but I suppose I shouldn't expect much from a dog.

[He was expecting much harsher words! Even Mondo had been able to come up with names worse than that. He's certainly aware of the spear, but assuming Lancer is still grabbing onto him with his other hand, he doesn't make any move to change his position.]

[puppy_lancer]

[That does it. Without any reply, Lancer just stabs Ishimaru. If his aim isn't off, he'll take Ishimaru's heart with this blow.]

[hallmonotor]

[The first thing that happens is that Ishimaru sheathes his sword. You'd think someone who just got stabbed in the heart would have just dropped it, but as he's clearly shown, he's far from your average person. It's a quick movement, and as soon as both his hands are free, they grab a hold of the shaft of the spear before Lancer has a chance to pull it out of his victim.

Then, he laughs. The tears streaming down his face must have been an instinctive response to the horrible pain.]

That's it! Ahaha, this pain, this despair, it's so bad I think I could die! Don't worry though, I'll make sure to repay you for this, Cu Chulainn!

[puppy_lancer]

You...

[He can't describe this anymore. Disgusting? Crazy? Horrifying?]

[He doesn't make any moves to pull the spear out.]

You're welcome to come and try.

[His voice shakes just a little.]

[hallmonotor]

[How about all of the above?

Don't mind him getting his blood all over your spear, then.]

Hah. Don't underestimate me. I know that I alone can't properly punish you, but I'm nothing if not resourceful.

[He laughs again, but his breath is already becoming a little ragged.]

So? Do you feel like you've had your revenge? Are you satisfied?

[puppy_lancer]

[Satisfied? Of course not. Ideally, he would have killed Ishimaru before the boy could get in a word edgewise and leave him to realize his mistake in his final seconds of life. Instead, he had been taunted and stabbed and, looking at this miserable scene, he feels like he has shamed his Gae Bolg.]

[But he won't admit it. He's given his opponent a fatal wound. He had proven it was a bad idea to insult Ferdiad's memory. That should be enough.]

...Think before you speak next time.

[hallmonotor]

What a boring response...

[He tries to laugh, but it's clear the life is draining out of him pretty fast.]

But telling me to change my ways is like telling a river... to flow backwards. Haha... that's something Mukuro would say.

[He closes his eyes, and a moment later, his body slackens, and falls to the floor, his grip on Gae Bolg finally gone.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer pulls the spear out and then goes to sit leaning against the wall. That little fight had drained him more than he thought. He was going to have to wait a long while to move again.]

[MEANWHILE ISHIMARU WILL JUST BE OVER HERE

BEING DEAD

Also you should probably do something about that huge bleeding hole in your stomach.]
