[Mayfield Elementary Playground]

Like this, like this?

[Walking past the playground today will reveal the expected, really; two kids playing on it, clambering all over, and so on.

What’s probably not so expected is the huge scratches clawed into the paint. Closer examination will reveal only surface damage; the metal underneath is relatively

[damagign school property? The new janitor will try to pick up two little girls by their necks before they can get to it again.]

[there_were_none]

[Flandre is easily grabbed! Being on the ground and all.

She does squawk about it though! And flail. Mostly flailing.]

[thug_disease]

Wah! Leave Yamame alone!

[Yamame's a little surprised and begins to flail. If the man in question doesn't identify himself pretty soon he's going to either end up very sick or very pummeled with danmaku.]

[burnmycapital]

Little children should not damage their toys, yes? Damaging toys can mean that you will not be allowed to use them again in the future.

[He's smiling, but his voice is ...too happy.]

[there_were_none]

[Flandre doesn't seem to notice. Though she does stop squirming to squiggle her head around to look at this strange man.]

Oh, I wasn't breaking it!

[It's just...cosmetic damage! Yeah.]

[thug_disease]

I was teaching Flandre-chan how to climb stuff!

[If Russia is susceptible to it, he may find himself not feeling very well all of a sudden...as if he's coming down with something.]

Now let us go!

[burnmycapital]

But you were scratching the surface, and that will make it corrode, yes? And the trees will be hurt if you scratch them like that. [He turns to Yamame and pushes her a bit harder than necessary, yet does not hit her - this one seems to be the real troublemaker.]

You are being very silly, yes?

[Pushing both girls towards the building with his hands, not letting go but setting them down enough so they can walk themselves.]

[there_were_none]

[The vampire blinks at this man, at Yamame, and back at this fellow again.]

...oh.

[She hadn't thought of that.

Flandre trips and stumbles a bit when he sets her down before remembering that she can, in fact, walk.]

[thug_disease]

[Oh that's it. Normally Yamame isn't one to attack humans, but this one's being just a BIT confrontational.]

[Two things are now going to happen in the vicinity of the young Tsuchigumo. One, she's going to continue trying to give Russia the most horrible and debilitating diseases she possibly can. If he has his country body back, however, this likely isn't going to do anything.]

[Two, Danmaku are now flying EVERYWHERE. When hit with these softball-sized balls of energy, it will feel like being punched by a rather burly man.]

[This is probably the first time anyone's ever made Yamame feel like she needs to defend herself in Mayfield, so she's going a little overboard.]

[burnmycapital]

[Ouch. OUCH. AND THIS IS WHEN RUSSIA LEARNS ABOUT REGAINS, OR RATHER NOT HAVING THEM.

What he still has is a very, very high pain tolerance and an extremely high immunisation to things - having had most of these sicknesses before, directly or indirectly, all those that you can protect yourself against through shots or having had them don't hurt him.

He feels the pain that the balls cause, but it does not really bother him - the impact is much more serious, though he is a heavy guy himself and won't just fall, but he will stumble a bit - and starts to feel funny because some sickness(es) started to break out

[thug_disease]

[Yamame yells and squeals, struggling to try to get free from Russia's grip. She's stopped flinging Danmaku at the moment but she's trying REALLY hard to make this man as sick as possible.]

Let us go what are you doing??

[burnmycapital]

[He does not stop when the Danmaku stops, because they could start again at any moment.]

Little girls should get away from danger, yes? You and your friend will stay inside until all of this is gone.

[It's not an option, almost not even an order but a simple fact.]

[there_were_none]

[Until this instant, Flandre had been squeaking and wriggling and squirming quite a bit. It was, strangely, the danmaku which made her stop at first.

Then Russia's words, which make her stop and stare back over her shoulder wide-eyed and like Russia has sprouted an extra head. That was definitely a commanding voice, but not...Remilia's voice. Flandre was unsure what to do.]

The danmaku? The lights? [She squeaked this a bit uncertainly.]

[burnmycapital]

I do not know what they are called, but I will take care of it.

[He's smiling again, radiating a deadly confidence that is as unsettling as it is reassuring. It says that he will take care of this, and that you will not envy the others ide by the end of it. At all. No matter how the situation might be looking now.

And, frankly, it doesn't look good. While they have reached the door and he's kicking it open now to be able to throw the girls inside, he is definitely weakened by a lot and looking at him, you wouldn't think that he'll stand much of a chance - but really. He has been like this before. It would be worse if he felt pain and exhaustion like a normal person, but since he doesn't...]

[thug_disease]

[There Flandre and Yamame sit after being thrown to the ground. Yamame simply looks to the other Youkai with a confused look.]

He...didn't even know that was Yamame?

[there_were_none]

[All this lifting and dropping and throwing around was highly unnecessary in Flandre's opinion. She could have just flown here!

But at the moment she was just going to...stay flopped on the floor over here. Yes.

Though Yamame's question makes her blink and look up.]

That was yours?

[...well duh. Who else could it be?]
