[Periodically throughout the killing game, Conchita's been taking breaks to go back, cook and eat bits of her victim's carcass. This Sunday evening is no exception as she sits down to dinner, a sickening array of meat surrounding her on the dining room table, as though she hasn't a care in the world about what is happening around her. The person

-The kind of brute that just tossed a barrel through the dining room window.-

You! You're a monster after all!

[abravelikehero]

[The paranoia was just increasing, and the... "food" Conchita was eating made it worse. People everywhere were blood thirsty and one day she would just...

Currently Almaz was in the "fort" he made out of the living room couch turned on it's side and a few sheets and milk crates. He had a long fish knife, a pole with a kitchen knife attached to the end and a gun he had acquired when he had first arrived in the city. His comics were neatly stacked under the couch. He was about to poke his head out and inquire if Conchita would consider being defensive again and... no, no, he wouldn't ask where she keeps getting this meat, he didn't want to know! He already had nightmares! But then, oh god!]

AHHHH! THEY'VE COME EN MASS!

[The barrel just missed landing on him, instead ripping down some of the sheets to the side. The glass from the window hit the remaining part of the structure and pooled to the ground and Almaz tried to claw his way out.]

Wh-wh-what are you doing!? You could have killed me!

[ate_it_all]

[Conchita had of course gotten well out of the way of the barrel, although she had a nice large barbecue rib in her hand at the time. She glares crossly at the barrel and looks out the broken window]

How dare you! I was eating dinner! Who do you think you are?!

[backseat_dragon]

-The machete are drawn from his belt.-

Stand aside, Almaz! This woman... no... this MONSTER must die!

[abravelikehero]

[Clinging to his makeshift speer he turns back to Conchita and then back to Ashton. He repeats the motion a few times.]

Eh? Wh-what did she do? Please don't tell me she ate someone please don't tell me she ate someone please don't tell me she ate someone!

[He finally turns back towards Conchita, tears welling in his eyes.]

Y-y.... What did you do?

[ate_it_all]

Nothing that's any of his business, I'm sure. I don't believe I even know this man. He must be going mad, with all that's going on.

[After that, she idly chews on the rib.]

[backseat_dragon]

That meat! It's from the boy, isn't it?! -He points one of the machete accusingly.- Don't you dare deny it!

[abravelikehero]

Eh?

[He stares at Conchita for a while, focusing on what she's eating.]

That....

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!

[ate_it_all]

My. The boy, you say? It certainly sounds as though you've been following me.

Oh, I see - I'm your target, aren't I? And here you are, pretending you're being so righteous because of what I did, when you only want to serve yourself the exact same way.

[she laughs at him.]

Shame on you!

[and she then claps a hand on Almaz's shoulder, since he is between them and all.]

You're not going to back down from this fake hero, are you? I would be very disappointed.

[backseat_dragon]

Almaz... Get out of my way. I don't want to hurt you. -His hands twitch.-

[abravelikehero]

[He physically jumps when she puts a hand on him.]

A... a child...? That....

[He's physically shaking but turns his attention back to Ashton. He didn't agree with this, that was too much yet... yet.... Wouldn't killing her be just as wrong? He had no delusions that she wasn't a bad person, she was, he knew that. But, killing her would just be going down to her level, not to mention death was hardly permanent in this place, almost everyone came back....

If he stood aside whenever she returned she would do something horrible to him! And probably over and over and over....]

I DON'T WANT TO BE TORTURED!

[Wait, no that wasn't meant to be screamed out, oops... could he play it off? Probably not. No, he'll just... pretend he didn't just do that.]

B-but... um, isn't that j-just an endless cycle? You would just be lowering yourself. If no one fought anyone....

[ate_it_all]

[did he just imply that she was low? She glares at Almaz a little, but it's obvious that she has him where she wants him, so she'll focus on Ashton for now]

Just so you know, dear, if you hurt Almaz and murder me, you'll receive another target. His point is a good one, unless you think you shall come up with excuses for those killings too.

[backseat_dragon]

No... Only you. For killing that boy. For eating him. For forcing Almaz and myself into this position.

If I kill you, it'll stop it. -He doesn't sound NEARLY sane enough to be doing this.-

[abravelikehero]

As... as much as I want to agree to that, um....

[He looks behind towards Conchita again as if she might bite him any moment.]

I... I won't let anyone kill anyone here! I... I couldn't do anything before, and... I'm sorry. It's my fault that I couldn't stop her but.... But killing in return won't make up for the first death!

[He shifts his weight holding the 'spear' in a defensive position.]

F-for your own good I'm going to stop you!

[ate_it_all]

[she frowns at that look Ashton's giving her. Is he out of his mind? It doesn't even seem like he knows this boy she's eating. No, she won't be killed by a person like that. Especially not when she already has her mind made up to eat her next target and all of the ones after that. But Almaz has plenty to say, and so she lets it go, and focuses on him instead. Her words are simple, but just vaguely threatening enough.]

You'd better.

[backseat_dragon]

-Without the slightest hesitation, Ashton charges Almaz, intending to disarm him in one swing.-
