Bloody brilliant. Of all the people present in the City.

We're leaving this rat hole you regard as home, sharpshooter. For your best interest, you should cooperate with me unless you would prefer that I drag your lifeless corpse along the surface.

Stand up, Rip van Winkle! My patience isn't endless.

(ooc; Cuffed to Rip).

This obsession the City has with the two of us is more than anyone should endure. - Besides, really, rat hole? Aren't you a spoiled brat.

Where do you plan to drag my lively corpse, then? I wouldn't particularly enjoy parading around the City like that.

And don't yell, I'm close enough to hear your shrieking perfectly. Unfortunately.

[She tries to get the handcuffs off, which are, of course, vampire-proof curse!ones.]

[hiscountess]

Do be silent! The forest, of course, an open space I don't have to endure your breathing behind my neck.

[She commands, seeing her futile attempts to struggle against the cuffs.]

Idiot girl, do you believe that we can easily break these? This is a curse!

[der_freischuetz]

[Rip stops fighting against them, not because of Integra, but there actually is no point.]

Really. I might have just mistaken it for a reconciliation gift. At least I try to do something against it!

[Then she sighs and reaches for her musket, which leans at the wall only a few steps away. Still out of reach, though.]

And move now, I'm not going anywhere without this.

[hiscountess]

That toy won't be of use, huntress.

[Integra gives her a smirk full of sharp teeth.]

Unless you wish that impaled through your ribs, you shall obey me. Get up!

[der_freischuetz]

[Rip is not impressed, after all, it's not Samiel and she can do that, too! She slowly stands up and shows her a full shark-ish grin herself.]

Spare me the empty threats, Fräulein Vampir, there is no Samiel here for you now to carry them out.

We will not leave without it! --

[Then she makes a step in the direction of the musket, giving the cuffs a jerk to make Integra move.]

[still on accidental audio]

[hiscountess]

[But Integra doesn't move. She's like a rock or a mountain. She won't move unless she deems so.]

I didn't need Alucard to kill your Major or do my job for thirty years.

[der_freischuetz]

[Rip is really annoyed by this.]

The death story again. If that had been all true what I heard about his death until now, he must had died five times already.

Splendid. Absolutely wonderful. Do you want a cookie now? Do get over yourself or we won't get anything done. I'm not the one who insisted on going, I can stay here all day.

[hiscountess]

I gave you a choice, Rip van Winkle, cooperate or I will drag your still corpse!

[She snarled.]

[still on accidental audio]

[der_freischuetz]

[Still annoyed, but otherwise unimpressed. Integra has the potential to become a second Samiel and be terrifying, yes, but she's not yet. Rip pulls at the cuffs again.]

I do, you broken record! You only need to move two steps over there, so I can reach it. Why is that so hard? As you're convinced of your own invincibility anyway, surely you're not afraid of my warhead?

[still on accidental audio]

[hiscountess]

[Integra pulls it back with more strength than before. It's true, she was still young, but she had sucked his blood which has a few surprises under her sleeve, even to her. She looked at her using her good eye.]

I don't fear your "warhead", foolish girl. However I'm taking precautions you won't waste bullets on civilians while you're chained to me.

[still on accidental audio]

[der_freischuetz]

[This strength Rip hasn't expected; it makes her stumble forward into Integra, which is of course only the result of her surprise. Because, well, still Integra. What the hell?]

Oh, come on, now! You're acting like I don't go outside without shooting ten random people. I never leave it here it might get hurt and --

[Up close, she finally notices the eye patch, because now she's eye-in-...not-eye with it and not distracted with something. Now Rip stares at it.]

...

[still on accidental audio]

[hiscountess]

[Integra moves to dodge Rip's stumble. She's fast for she has been practicing her speed and reflects with Alucard. Her speed have been always matching the undead, that hasn't changed in her new state.]

You are a dangerous monster who serves to a madman in an organisation whose sake of purpose is destruction and war, I am not correct?

[She frowns.]

Staring is rude.

[still on accidental audio]

[der_freischuetz]

[Rip blinks, startled.]

...I wouldn't have phrased it like this, no. The Major is no madman. And what the hell did you do to your eye?

[still on accidental audio]

[hiscountess]

How else would have phrased it? To sacrifice all of you as a futile attempt to defeat one vampire?

[ She touches her patch .]

Spoils of war.

[still on accidental audio]

[der_freischuetz]

Sacrifice...? Now you're talking nonsense.

[This is Rip, sounding like she wants to convince herself. The doubt is visible on her face; she actually asked herself that for quite some while now, but the Major is the Major is the Major. Which means it just can't be, no matter how it looks like it.]

...ähm, was it Zorin or the Captain?

[still on accidental audio]

[hiscountess]

So curious.

[Integra savoured every word she said next.]

It was the Major. He missed all his shots. The last one hit my glasses and the shards accidentally went.

While I only needed one single bullet between his eyes.
