* Bruno_Glening comes down the stairs again, carrying a tray, time for the final experiment
- he was smiling from ear to ear, these things were working better then expected!
* Miles_Edgeworth tries not to twitch as he hears the footsteps. These past few days have
not been good to him. He's all jittery and stressed from drugs and lack of sleep. He kind
of glowers at Bruno, trying to look more awake than he felt, once the other man's outline
comes into focus.
[Bruno_Glening] Ah goooood afternoon, have you slept well?
* Miles_Edgeworth is going to try not saying anything at all. He's actually lacking the
energy to argue right now, anyway.
[Bruno_Glening] Since things are progressing so well, I got a little something special for
you.
* Miles_Edgeworth obviously can't keep his mouth shut for /too/ long anyway. "..oh really."
* Bruno_Glening nods vigorously. "Oh don't worry, it'll make the pain go away, hmmm."
[Miles_Edgeworth] ...
* Miles_Edgeworth scowls again and looks to the ceiling. "Wonderful."
* Bruno_Glening leans over Edgeworth, and starts to unbutton his shirt. "Now just hold
still."
* Miles_Edgeworth widens his eyes and struggles again, uselessly. "...What are you doing?
Stop that!"
* Bruno_Glening reaches up, and smacks Edgeworth. "Be still."
* Miles_Edgeworth is smacked, and just keeps his head to the side for a moment, before he
tries to pull his arms out, gritting his teeth and glaring. "Don't you dare touch me." A
tired, idle threat, but one nonetheless.
* Bruno_Glening removes a bottle of red ink, and a brush.
[Bruno_Glening] *and is blithly ignoring Edgeworth as he drew embelms on him* You need to
excerise more, Edgeworth.
* Miles_Edgeworth stops struggling, and just.. kind of stares at him. There really isn't
much that he can think of to say to that. "I really do not have the time..." [What the
hell is he doing?]
[Bruno_Glening] Pity, I shall make a correction to that. *He gets up, and giggles,
murmuring something in another language under his breath, before addressing the man
again. "I am learned in many things other then medicine."
* Miles_Edgeworth might have actually paled, if he wasn't already as white as they come.
"...What?" He struggles again, for good measure. That doesn't sound good at all..
* Damon_Gant has joined #geutrink
[Miles_Edgeworth] ...
* Miles_Edgeworth nngs a bit, and struggles again.. just a bit.. and then he sort of..
stops. And just sits there.
* Damon_Gant hums a bit, making his presence known as he walks down the stairs.
[Bruno_Glening] Now listen to me closely, *he smiled* Your little friends will arrive,
[Bruno_Glening] *he removes a gun - borrowed from Damon - they are so fascinating and
deadly!* Do give them a proper greeting for me, will you pet?
* Damon_Gant stops at the bottom, and watches.
[Miles_Edgeworth] ...I understand.
* Bruno_Glening buttons up the shirt, and loosens the bindings so Edgeworth can break free,
and he conceals the gun, again with in reach. "Peeerfect!"
* Damon_Gant walks over closer, rather intrigued.
[Bruno_Glening] He'll do the job for us, perfect irony, don't you think Damon?
* Damon_Gant grins. And then he laughs. "Simply wonderful, Gleny!"
[Bruno_Glening] And to think it works on someone with an actual backbone!
* Miles_Edgeworth says nothing. He sits there, calmly, and rubs his wrists. They were kinda
sore from being tied up for so long.
[Bruno_Glening] Now for a final test.
[Damon_Gant] Oh, good.
* Bruno_Glening removes a vial of crystalline red liquid from his coat pocket.
* Damon_Gant is excited.
[Damon_Gant] Oh, what is that?
* Damon_Gant is like a child on Christmas with this.
* Bruno_Glening uncorks it. "We'll see how this turns out, now open wide edgeworth."
* Miles_Edgeworth does so, nice and obediently.
[Damon_Gant] Ohhh... if only I had this while I was chief..
* Damon_Gant remarks to how nice and behaved Edgeworth is now.
[Bruno_Glening] You might get it still, depend on how well... *he pours a little down the
lawyer's throat* Swallow.
* Miles_Edgeworth does so. It might have tasted terrible, but he shows no signs of anything
on his face.
[Damon_Gant] What is that one for?
* Damon_Gant is totally fanboying over Glening and his evilness.
[Miles_Edgeworth] ...
[Bruno_Glening] The Elixir of Life in layman's terms.
[Damon_Gant] Oooh.. such an intriguing name.
* Miles_Edgeworth sits there, hands patiently on his lap. His eyes are staring at the
staircase blankly, waiting.
[Bruno_Glening] It does as the name suggests
[Bruno_Glening] But I shall explain back in much better places.
* Damon_Gant adjusts his glasses, and watches Edgeworth, fascination still present on his
face. "...Of course. I would love to hear all about it." Excitement indeed.
* octopus has joined #geutrink
* Bruno_Glening leads Bruno out to a small lab he had set up elsewheres.
[Bruno_Glening] (Damon, gah)
* Damon_Gant follows after, trying not to skip too much.
* Geutrink was probably a nice, if boring little village once upon a time. But now all remains is ashes, dust, and piles of stone and charred wood.
* Phoenix_Wright arrives. He looks around, gathering his coat around him as he takes in his
surroundings.
[Phoenix_Wright] [Okay. Well. This isn't so bad, is it? You're only in the burned
remains of a town, looking for two madmen and your friend who may not even be alive, and
without a weapon on you. No pressure.]
* Geutrink is about big enough for roughly a 100 families or more, with woods surrounding
this former shell of a town which too are showing signs of the ravages of fire, there
seemed to have beem a hedge wall around the village, judging from the stumpy remains on
the ground. A wrong movement will belie a more gruesome discovery, of a bone fragment
that is kicked up by movement
* Phoenix_Wright blinks and looks down, then gahs and backs up a bit. [Oh, and that makes
things better. No, really. I'm ready to party now.]
* Phoenix_Wright looks around. [800... like the label on that package Thomas sent to
Georik. And Georik's sister... what's the connection? ...wait, why am I thinking about
this? I have more important things to do.]
* Geutrink there stone walls in the distance, of either a town hall or a manor judging from
the segement that is standing freely.
[Phoenix_Wright] [*sigh* There's bound to be a complete building somewhere around here,
and that's probably where they're camped out. With a trap, no doubt... I just hope I can
play for time long enough for the others to arrive...]
* Phoenix_Wright begins trudging towards those walls as a direction to go more than
anything.
* Geutrink 's manor seemed to have been very nice before it's destruction, from the bits of
fallen, cracked marble, and charred thorny branches of rose bushes, and some burnt but
not destroyed remains of books and tapestries, there is a blackened but intact cellar
door if he is careful in searching the rubble
[Phoenix_Wright] [Not much here... wait, is that...?] *looks for signs of disturbance*
* Geutrink 's path seems to have signs of being covered up on good examination.
[Phoenix_Wright] [Too thorough to be natural... maybe this is it.] *clears the area around
the door some*
[Geutrink] *it's a door that seen recent use.
[Geutrink] *do you open the door?*
* Phoenix_Wright frowns. He looks to see if there's anything usable as a decent club or
something. It won't be much, but it'll be SOMETHING.
[Geutrink] *there's some heavy rocks, and a piece of iron from a trellis.
* Phoenix_Wright snags the iron, then carefully opens the door, keeping it at ready.
Butterflies in the stomach like nobody's business.
* Miles_Edgeworth has been sitting there, staring at the stairs this whole time. When he
hears the door open, he slowly stands up. "..." And he waits again.
[Phoenix_Wright] ?!
* Phoenix_Wright thought he heard something? Begins moving down the stairs veeeeery
carefully.
* Miles_Edgeworth is just standing there. The room is lit only by a flickering lantern on
one of the tables. He reaches for his pocket.
[Phoenix_Wright] ! Edgeworth? Edgeworth, is... is that you? You got free?
* Phoenix_Wright lowers the iron. [He's alive... thank God...]
* Miles_Edgeworth says nothing, right away. And removes what is in his pocket. A nice
little handgun.
[Miles_Edgeworth] ...You are supposed to be in prison.
* Miles_Edgeworth sounds very.. well.. inhuman, really.
* Phoenix_Wright 's voice catches in his throat. "Edgeworth?" Gun... why does he have a gun?
* Miles_Edgeworth responds by pointing the gun in Phoenix's direction.
[Phoenix_Wright] ! Edgeworth, what're you doing?! It's me, Phoenix! I know you know!
* Miles_Edgeworth smirks at that. It's such a creepy expression, intensified by the
flickering of fire. He clicks the safety off. "...Thanks for playing." And the gun is
fired.
* Bruno_Glening perks up in his lab. "Aaah, I see he caught our intruder."
* Phoenix_Wright feels a sharp sting in his arm. He grabs it, hissing, and begins ducking
back out the way he came. [Shit, shit, shit... what did they DO to him? Why is he...
Gotta get away, NOW!]
* Damon_Gant chuckles a bit, and cleans off his little pink sunglasses. "Splendid!"
* Miles_Edgeworth is going to follow, although he's not going to run. Phoenix has nowhere
to hide, really. Why should he waste his energy?
[Bruno_Glening] Let's see. *he moves towards the door from the little lab in the shack, and
towards the cellar.
* Phoenix_Wright trips as he gets to the top of the stairs, falling onto his rear. He
begins to push himself away from the edge, pain surging from a spot in the middle of his
right forearm
* Damon_Gant follows after eagerly.
* Miles_Edgeworth reaches the bottom of the stairs, points upward with the gun again, and
fires, barely missing Phoenix. ...Drat. He starts climbing the stairs.
* Phoenix_Wright winces. "Edgeworth! EDGEWORTH! Stop, please! I know you're still in there
somewhere! Please, don't!"
[Bruno_Glening] Oh this is so exciting, I haven't seen them in action.
* Phoenix_Wright looks for suitable shelter. A wall, or SOMETHING.
* Bruno_Glening is walking through the forest edge towards the gunshot noises.
* Damon_Gant clasps his hands together. "You invented this on your own? You are truly
amazing, Glenny!"
* octopus PINned in around where Phoenix first did, bringing Georik with him.
* Mia_Fey appears next to Georik and Otto, having PIN'd out with them also.
* Miles_Edgeworth is totally blank expressionally, although the faintest twinge of
annoyance ticks on his face. And fires again. "Stop running away!
* Georik looks around the village as he was PINNED in, paling noticably, he covered his
ears with his hands and shook it repeatedly, as if trying to get something off his back.
"Nh... let's go find them -!" He starts at the gunshot.
* Phoenix_Wright ducks behind a wall, and feels a chip of stone nick his face. "Stop it!
What did they DO to you?!"
[octopus] !! Shit... this way!
* Damon_Gant follows after Bruno. Granted, his outfit choice doesn't help hide him very
well, but he's not missing this at /all/.
* octopus gestures with an actuator, then goes stomping off towards the source of the noise.
* Miles_Edgeworth is still approaching the wall. "Come out, Phoenix. The game is over. You
lost."
[Phoenix_Wright] [Damnit, they did something to him...]
* Bruno_Glening runs towards the noise.
* Mia_Fey follows Otto quickly, not wanting to get left behind here.
* Phoenix_Wright looks at the piece of iron in his hand, and gets an idea. He attempts to
roll it in the direction of Edgeworth. Trip attempt roll 1d20. ]_]
[Georik] What the hell is going on...? *He winced as he nearly tripped over a bloody
makeshift cross, and violently kicks it away before he scrambled up and after.
* Damon_Gant runs, as well. But he's not as fast as Bruno. Nor as fit.
[octopus] ((yeah, but he doesn't have two wooden legs.))
* Miles_Edgeworth trips and falls. And hits the dirt. And stays there for a moment, before
he pushes himself up. Great, now he looks /pissed/. He pushes himself up and /runs/ at
the wall.
[Phoenix_Wright] [Well, that wasn't one of my brighter ideas...]
* Phoenix_Wright begins to bolt as well. Shit.
* Mia_Fey doesn't look back at Georik, but tries to answer his question while moving. "...I
don't know, but it doesn't sound good, whatever's going on."
* Bruno_Glening laughs - it's a loud, distinctive chortling that carries well. "Oh my, this
is too good."
* Miles_Edgeworth stands out against the rubble. Silver haired guy wearing magenta pants
and a white shirt, firing a gun.. while he runs after Phoenix. Aim's a bit terrible for
the next shot.
* Phoenix_Wright is weaving, and can probably be seen ducking out of the remains of a large
building at this point. He's clamped his left hand around his right arm. Somewhere in the
run, he lost his hat -- which had become some sort of atrocious light-blue wide-brimmed
deal -- and is pretty easily identified.
* octopus sees the muzzle-flash before he sees its source, and its apparent target. Without
thinking, he vaults up onto his robotic arms and charges at Edgeworth.
[Georik] Phoenix!
[Phoenix_Wright] ?! Georik! Otto!
* Georik moves to get between Phoenix and...? "Edgeworth?!"
[Bruno_Glening] Aaah... Look whose here.
* Miles_Edgeworth is so set on killing Phoenix right now he misses the hat entirely, and
keeps running right after the other lawyer. When he calls to the others, taking that as a
distraction, he fires again.
* Phoenix_Wright feels another shot graze his left side. He cries out and falls.
* Damon_Gant grins. "Now this should get /really/ exciting."
* Bruno_Glening cackles. "Friend against friend, what a -terrible tragedy- no playwright
could make a scene this beautiful."
[octopus] ...dammit!
* Miles_Edgeworth keeps running! And doesn't stop until he's towering over Phoenix. His
face is a little pink from running, yet he stands, deadpan as ever, and points the gun
down at him.
* Phoenix_Wright stares up at him, wide-eyed and scared. "Edgeworth... Edgeworth, please,
snap out of it..."
* octopus cuts the distance with the greatest of ease, sending one of his actuators
whistling down at Edgeworth's chest with the force of a piledriver.
* Mia_Fey is already runnning towards Edgeworth, much as she probably shouldn't be. After
all, he is holding a gun and shooting to kill. "...Miles! Stop it!"
[Phoenix_Wright] [! Mia!]
* Georik moves to catch his friend. "Bruno you bastard! I know you are here, come out!"
* Miles_Edgeworth hesitates again, although his eyes narrow, and he's just about to pull
the trigger when he's slammed into with an actuator. He gets knocked backwards and hits
the ground hard.
* Miles_Edgeworth also loses his gun in the process. Only a few seconds pass before he
seems to recover, somehow, and runs to reclaim his gun.
* Phoenix_Wright winces, but rushes to grab the gun himself.
* Bruno_Glening steps out from behind a tree with great arrogance.
* Damon_Gant follows after, tugging on that stray clump of hair.
[octopus] !!
[Bruno_Glening] A den of fools clamoring over a grave - good work in finding your tombs!
* Miles_Edgeworth is /determined/ to get that gun first. He'll even try to push Phoenix
aside so he can get it before he can.
* Phoenix_Wright winces as pain shoots through, but he's not about to let Edgeworth get
that thing while he's in that state. He attempts to push back. This HURTS.
* octopus is a bit horrified to see Edgey still /moving/ after being winded by one of his
tentacles, but he persists, snapping his actuator out to grab Edgeworth and fling him
through the air like a sack of potatoes.
* Georik moves to rush at Glening, blade drawn.
* Bruno_Glening reaches into his pocket. "Zaberisk..."
* Mia_Fey tries to get to Edgeworth before Otto's tentacles do, because she dead determined
to stop him herself. Or at least try. "Otto...stop...let me go after Edgeworth..."
* Bruno_Glening cried out as the blade ran through him - but at the same time another shot
rang out - Glening is holding a pistol.
[octopus] ...ngh.. get down, Mia!
[Georik] Ga...ga - *he slumps - stunned by the pain, revealing that Bruno is fully impaled
through the stomach*
[Phoenix_Wright] !!
[Phoenix_Wright] GEORIK!
[Bruno_Glening] Damn... *he reaches down, and goes to jerk the weapon right out* It'll take
weeks to regenerate!
[Mia_Fey] No! I will not! I'll stop him myself.
* Bruno_Glening wonders were Gant is as he tossed the sword aside, seemingly unaffected by
the gaping hole in his gut.
* Miles_Edgeworth stumbles a bit at being shoved back, although he dives for the gun
anyway. He hits the dirt and aims to grab the gun.
* Phoenix_Wright attempts to as well! Gun struggle?
* Damon_Gant is standing there, although he sort of ran to hide behind a tree, seeing as
how he's useless against a sword right now. "..Glenny! Oh my.. are you alright?"
* Georik is curled up, coughing wetly, but too stunned to move.
* octopus grabs Edgeworth and lifts him off the ground by the shoulder, metal talons
digging in through his clothing.
[octopus] I don't know if you're a homunculus or just under someone's control, and I don't
care.
* Miles_Edgeworth is going to glare rather hatefully at Phoenix during this struggle, as he
pulls on the gun.. and gets talons for his effort. He hisses, narrows his eyes further,
and will let go of the gun.. to aim a punch at Phoenix with his free hand.
[Bruno_Glening] I'm fine, Nothing can kill me. *he aims a gun at the next person possible,
possibly Mia*
* Phoenix_Wright can has punch. Fuggin' OW. He falls back, stunned.
[Georik] mi...wat- *He's trying to get up*
[Bruno_Glening] It's time for you all to die.
* Mia_Fey is about to run towards Miles, but turns around, only to see that gun trained on
her. "..."
* octopus decides to use Edgeworth as a projectile, and flings him at Glening.
* Phoenix_Wright sees an Edgeworth flying overhead?
* Miles_Edgeworth is just about to grab the gun when he goes flying! Whee!
* Bruno_Glening is knocked clear off balanced, and BANG!
* Georik crawls towards Gant. [Mephistopheles - please... just this once]
[Damon_Gant] !!
* Damon_Gant runs to see if Bruno is alright.
* Phoenix_Wright slowly gets himself up again, this time grabbing the gun, damnit.
* octopus follows, hissing as a bullet whizzes past his head, and bares down on Glening,
arms drawn.
* Bruno_Glening kicks Edgeworth off, gritting in pain as he fired another shot, at
Edgeworth this time.
* Miles_Edgeworth hits the ground, or rather.. Bruno.. hard. And the shot.. and he gasps a
bit, and.. doesn't move. Well damn, that hurt. As if the throw wasn't bad enough..
* Georik yanks at Gant's foot. "Go into the inferno."
[octopus] ...monster!
* Phoenix_Wright looks over at the melee.
[Bruno_Glening] I've been called worse by more ignorant beings, *He moves to point the gun
at Otto* As you can see, you cannot kill me.
* Mia_Fey just watches, a little shocked at what just happened. She doesn't stay that way
for long though, running over to Miles, in some attempt to stop him from getting back up.
* Phoenix_Wright would help, but KINDA HURTING HERE. Yeah.
[octopus] *showing about 0% interest or concern for Edgeworth's well-being, Ock devotes his
energy to grabbing Bruno by the arms, effectively restraining him.*
* Miles_Edgeworth isn't getting up, though. In fact.. he's just kind of.. staring upward
now. The growing red mark on the front of his shirt seems to imply where the bullet went.
* Damon_Gant glares at Georik and will try to step on his hand. "Let go of me!"
[octopus] I am forbidden to kill, so that won't be a problem for me.
[Bruno_Glening] Too bad. *he clicks... and freezes* he's here?
[Georik] No, he wants to - *coughs up blood* drag you down... personally.
* Phoenix_Wright slowly gets up, trying to make his way over to where everybody else is.
He's not sure what to give his attention to -- Edgeworth, or Otto, or... what the hell is
Georik saying?
* octopus lowers himself to the ground and attempts to bend Bruno's arms in ways that human
arms were not meant to bend.
* Damon_Gant will try to kick Georik in the face, then. Gotta get your point across somehow.
* Mia_Fey is at least grateful that he isn't trying to move, but knows that he's probably
not doing well after getting shot. She kneels down next to him, both arms goin gon his
chest. "...Miles!"
[Phoenix_Wright] [Oh God oh God oh God, I've gotten my friends killed, oh God...]
* Georik jerks back, kicked, but the hold remains - Gant may see something demonic over
Georik's form.
* Bruno_Glening cries out as he was grappled, and arms bent - a red vial falls from his
pocket as his bones twisted and snapped.
* Miles_Edgeworth looks like he was shot very close to where Mia's arms are. He blinks, and
stares at Mia a moment. There is confusion there, for a moment. "...Mia.. what are... you
doing here?" Suddenly, it's painful to talk.
* Phoenix_Wright winces and looks away.
* Damon_Gant widens his eyes at Georik's expression, and shall try to dive for the vial
that fell. Forget saving Bruno, he needs to save himself first.
* Georik lets go with a strange smirk on his lips.
[octopus] ...... *with a deadpan, almost sad expression on his face, Ock pulls Glening to
the ground, pinning him there with one of his heavier, taloned arms. He either doesn't
notice the vial, or doesn't care enough at the moment.*
[Bruno_Glening] You god damn freak -! *he howled*
* Mia_Fey shakes her head lightly, trying to fight back any sort of tears or crying fits.
"I came here to help you. Just stay still and don't talk because...you can't die on me
yet."
* Phoenix_Wright chooses to make his way over to where Mia and Edgeworth are, finally.
"E...Edgeworth?"
[octopus] Silence.
* Georik gets up - he's been shot in the uppertorso, but somehow managed to avoid organs,
but he's coughing up blood.
[Georik] [so dizzy...]
* Miles_Edgeworth turns his head and coughs a bit, too. Yay, blood. Not pretty, really. He
lolls his head over to Phoenix, and gives him a blank stare now. "..Wright.. what.." He
winces, and lightly sets a hand on his chest.
* octopus clamps an actuator around Glening's throat, and looks around for a place to stash
him as he goes to check on Georik, dragging the court physician behind him.
[octopus] Georik.... don't stand.
* Damon_Gant grabs the vial and PINs out, running like a coward.
* Bruno_Glening glares balefully at Otto, not realizing that his vial is missing, he's
wheezing from trying to breathe.
[Georik] Kill that... *he falls to his knees, shivering* How are they?
[octopus] ..still alive. Phoenix and Mia still have PINpoints.... take mine, and go to the
Clinics. Now.
* octopus hands his own PINpoint over to the faltering Georik.
[Phoenix_Wright] Edgeworth... Edgeworth, no... If i'd just been...
* Mia_Fey occasionally glances up at Wright, but mainly keeps her gaze on Edgeworth.
"Wright...don't blame yourself..."
* Phoenix_Wright is fighting to hold back tears. "You can't die... you just... I came all
this way... please..."
* Georik holds the PINpoint, looking at the others. "I'm fin..." and he collasped,
accidentally hitting the button for the clinics.
* Miles_Edgeworth is going to move one of his hands, the one without the new shoulder
injury, and set it gently on one of Mia's. He coughs again, and seems to be having a
great difficulty in breathing. "I'm.. sorry." He gives Mia's hand a weak squeeze and
looks over at Phoenix.
[Bruno_Glening] Letmego.
[Georik] *PINs out*
[Phoenix_Wright] No... no it's not... I came within three days, I did, you can't...
* octopus looks down at Glening. "You know that I can't do that. You've caused massive
amounts of trouble for my friends... probably killed at least one of them..."
[octopus] You are an immortal, you say? I can think of countless individuals who would
enjoy having a test subject who never dies in their possession.
* Mia_Fey gently holds onto his hand, but manages to keep her eyes on Wright this time.
"...We have to get him out of here. Otherwise..." She doesn't want to say it, obviously.
* Phoenix_Wright nods frantically. He drops the gun -- quite thankfully, honestly -- and
begins fumbling for his PIN -- not an easy task left-handed.
* Mia_Fey reaches into her pocket with a free hand and offers Wright her PINPoint. "Give
Otto yours and use mine."
* octopus looks back at Mia. "....that young man was being compelled to kill, by the sounds
of it... and so was Edgeworth. Do you think that this wretch could have been responsible
for brainwashing them?"
[octopus] *he indicates Glening, who he's still holding by the neck*
[Phoenix_Wright] Compelled... to kill? What?
* Miles_Edgeworth seems to miss everything Phoenix says, as his eyes trail off to where
Phoenix is bleeding. "You.. are hurt..." He weakly tries to reach for Phoenix with his
injured arm, but doesn't have the energy for it, and it falls to the ground again. He
turns his head and looks up at Mia, managing a weak smile. "I.. love you.. Mia.." And he
closes his eyes.. and relaxes his grip on Mia's hand.
[Phoenix_Wright] Edgeworth? EDGEWORTH, NOOO!
[Bruno_Glening] The elixir seemed to have failed to work. *wheeze*
* Mia_Fey freezes up when she feels his grip weaken. "Miles! Miles, don't you dare do this
to me! You're not going to die on me..."
* Phoenix_Wright has lost the battle with tears, now flowing freely down his face. It
wasn't fair, it wasn't... all this... why...
[octopus] ... I don't suppose you can answer me, Glening?
* octopus looks down at the man with a sour expression on his face.
[Bruno_Glening] Philosopher's stone. *He says this in a very manner of fact time*
[octopus] I don't really care about alchemy. I want to know if you were the one who put
the geas on St Germant and Edgeworth.
[Bruno_Glening] You should know the legend. *his arms are slowly pushing back into place*
And if I did?
[octopus] Then I would know the truth about both of them.
* Phoenix_Wright grips Edgeworth's free wrist, willing life into him. He can't... he can't
lose another of his motivating figures...
* Miles_Edgeworth feels very warm, for a dead guy. He also has a bit of a pulse, still. But
that shot was fatal, wasn't it?
[Phoenix_Wright] ...?
[Bruno_Glening] You'll have to figure out how to remove it yourself.
[Phoenix_Wright] ...pulse... he has a pulse!
* Mia_Fey just keeps holding onto Miles' hand, as if praying to herself for him to wake up
and be alright, and wait...he really is still alive. "...? He's alive..."
[Phoenix_Wright] We've gotta get him to the clinics... Mia, take him there, I'll take
Otto... Nggh! [Oh yeah, wounds. Ow.]
[Mia_Fey] Wright, you're coming with me as well. Dont play hero here, leave your PIN behind
and let's go together."
* Phoenix_Wright nods, barely manages to fumble the PIN out so it's on the ground, and
takes hold of Mia's arm.
[octopus] ...hmph.
[Bruno_Glening] Now let me go, Barbarian
* Miles_Edgeworth certainly /looks/ like a dead guy, even if he really isn't one.
* octopus looks down at Glening, considering him. "If I let you go, what will you do?
You've revealed quite a few sensitive details in the presence of your subordinate...."
* Mia_Fey nods, before pulling out her PIN, setting the coordinates for the Clinics. She
doesn't wait another second, before PINning the three of them out.
[Bruno_Glening] He will no longer have a place here.
[octopus] ...then it looks like I can't let you stay, either.
[Bruno_Glening] -What?!
[Bruno_Glening] I demand you to let me go.
* octopus regards Bruno stoically. "I consider Georik Zaberisk a friend. If you're going to
continue terrorizing him and plotting against him, then I have no choice but to take you
away from this world."
[Bruno_Glening] And what do you suggest? *he knew being yanked from his world will ruin his
centuries long plot of revenge*
[octopus] Immortality is only a boon if you have the physical power or followers to
guarantee your safety. How painful do you imagine it will be to spend the rest of time
impaled on a spike in an underground chamber... or walled up and in chains, like
Fortunato?
* Bruno_Glening growls softly, he know the man got him, and his arms are too mangled to
grab his PINpoint
[octopus] *an unpleasant grin is creeping its way across Otto's face.* You know that I'm
not joshing you, Bruno. Georik has enough problems without having to deal with even more
garbage from you, and as far as I'm concerned, you can suffer for eternity if it
conveniences him.
* Bruno_Glening grumble. "And what do you want me to do?"
[octopus] I want you to do your job... and to let him do his. I don't care if you're just
a sadist, or if you have some master plan, I just want my friend to be able to live a
normal life, without people like you hanging swords over his head.
[Bruno_Glening] Fine.
[Bruno_Glening] [so close to Mephistopheles]
* octopus looks up at the sky, sighing a bit. "It's lonely sometimes, being a criminal
mastermind. Having to balance the temptation of evil with the better angels of one's
nature."
* Bruno_Glening listens to Otto, wondering what he's babbling on about.
[octopus] The others will probably never know just how much fun I get out of hurting
people, manipulating them like toys.
* octopus reaches out with a tentacle, grabbing the PINpoint that Phoenix left behind. "I
am not a good man, Mr. Glening... and I am known to be paranoid."
[octopus] If I so much as suspect that you are interfering with my friend's life, I will
return here, to this country. I will find you, and I will make good on my promise to see
you suffer, centuries after I have been granted the mercy of death.
* Bruno_Glening gritted his teeth. "I'll leave Zaberisk be."
[octopus] hnn hnn hnn.....for your sake, I hope you're not a liar, Bruno.
* octopus PINs out.
* Bruno_Glening drops down, cursing everyone.
