[42.00] Back

Feb 23, 2009 22:05

[A gasp, and some uneven panting that gradually slows. It's a few moments before he can right himself, convince his nerves that his skin is no longer burning off. His last death wasn't anywhere near this traumatic.]

Well... that was... unusually unpleasant.

....

Anyone finds my armor and mask, do return them.

That really is bloody ( Read more... )

!christine, back from death (again)

Brilliant detective work, would you like a medal~?

Well with that attitude, I guess you don't want these shoulder pads back.

Oh, for the love of -

Fine. Where are they.

Oh, I REALLY thought you were smarter than that, Whitecastle.

How about this. Hand them over, and I won't prove to you how merciful it was for me to finish you off so quickly~

Again, you got lucky. If anything you should thank me for remaining conscious so you could get some delight out of it. But fine, if you want to be that way. Your armor's sitting by the deck 11 fire. Come get it.

[It's there. Very close to the fire. Almost in it, but not quite. Enough to warm it up a little]

Oh, I can keep someone conscious.

See you.

((After approaching cautiously - this was perfect bait for a trap, if anything was - Erol tugs the armor towards himself with his boot, then tosses them up and catches them in his hands. They're QUITE hot, so after a second he rests them on his knuckles. The skin there can take a burn.

Good thing this stuff is tempered.))

Not me. Don't pretend you know everything because you happened to catch me exhausted.

[Remy had considered attacking when Erol showed. After all, waking from death meant he was unarmed and perhaps easier to take, but...well...it would be stupid to go it alone. Besides, if he thought this was a trap, the better. Maybe he wouldn't see it coming if and when Remy actually sprung one.

Remy settles for watching from his doorway, twirling the knife of Erol's he'd taken from the casino.]

((Erol smirks as he nears Remy's doorway. The knife didn't bother him; if the bartender thought Erol was unarmed he was sorely mistaken. He kept spares in his room. Even if he was, he could take down a scrawny round-ear armed with a single blade any day.))

Enjoying the scenery, hm?

Mmmhm. It's a lovely fire, isn't it?

[He's smirking as he meets Erol's gaze and continues playing with the knife in his hands. He's daring him to attack. Remy won't attack first. He knows Erol would let loose if he did. What he wants is to see if Erol is playing cautious with his warnings.]

I've always liked it.

((He doesn't have to track the knife directly to know the possibilities of every angle, to see the way Remy's holding his weight. He won't attack. So Erol doesn't care - he's already killed him once. If he really wanted he would take Batou and Motoko's assault as an excuse, but he knew very well that had nothing to do with his history with Glaukir and Remy.))

Nice toy. Where'd I leave that one?

((It didn't HAVE to be his, he wasn't the only one to think of it, but the angle of the sharpened blade made him pretty sure it was.))

[Remy stops twirling the knife and holds it up as if he's examining it.]

Found it in the casino a while back. Didn't know you were so sloppy as to leave them behind. Can see why though. The balance is terrible.

((Trying to goad him? Very transparent.))

Of course I leave them behind. Weapons worth keeping are few and far between here. These are designed to be thrown away when it suits me.

((He rolled his eyes, amber turned ruddy in the light of the fire, as if to say that would have been painfully obvious if Remy had paused to think about it.))

Oh good. Then you don't mind me keeping it. Saves me the trouble of making one myself.

[Remy knows exactly what he's doing, exactly what words he's choosing. He's not trying to be sly or subtle. He's trying to provoke, to annoy and really? It's a lot of fun.]

((Erol snickers; he's having a lot of fun too.))

For all the good it'll do you. By all means, keep my cast-offs.

((The armor's cooled significantly; Erol hooks the edge with his finger and slings it over his shoulder.))

Especially considering who THAT one was used on.

((He uses this as a parting line and starts to leave.))
