Injection I, Sanguinarine [VIDEO]

[rhododendronic]

[The video begins with a woman hovering over a portable machine. Built within a silver suicase, it somewhat resembles this. It hums and beeps at her touch. The screen glows a dark blue colour. Two long, black cables hang out the side. The woman mother hens the device like a fussy parent, checking every last nook and cranny of the case so that those

What is that?

[rhododendronic]

This? This is a very delicate and precious device! You could not imagine it's worth...

[To think someone else laid their hands on it! As her most useful tool and prized possession, she's very protective.]

It is an ultrasonic device used to control brain patterns.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha taps her fingers as she waits for the actual answer to her question.]

To what purpose do you use it?

[rhododendronic]

Hmmhmhm, what would you use such a machine for, indeed?

[She chuckles.]

It is for euthanasia, of course, among other things.

[esoteric_rose]

"Living Reaper"...what a presumptuous title. [She smiles as if she had just complimented the other woman's hair.]

[rhododendronic]

[Kiriko does not so much as blink at her insult.]

That is the name I acquired. Is there a problem?

[esoteric_rose]

Ah, acquired. Pity, I was hoping you'd be an actual reaper. There's no problem, only disappointment on my end. [Just sipping her tea and relaxing.]

[rhododendronic]

An "actual" Reaper, madam? Considering they do not exist, I do humbly consider myself the closest thing available.

[Now her gaze intensifies a little.]

Enough of this nonsense. Would you know who has called for me?

1/???

[lifes_expensive]

[So Black Jack is just fussing with the Vine and being bothered by a pesky anon when this shows up. She's only half paying attention to the feed as there's still lots of things around the clinic to get straightened out-]

2/???

[lifes_expensive]

[-whoa hold on now, what was that?!]

3/???

[lifes_expensive]

[OH HELL NO.]

4/4 - DONE

[lifes_expensive]

[WELP time to let here know none of that reaper business is going to be tolerated while she's around.]

You.

Don't you even think about using that thing here!

[existwithoutme]

The "Living Reaper". How grand that sounds. [A former Angel of Death herself, Kuja merely smiles, and there's a trace of irony in her voice.]

There's no need to shout. Sound carries quite well over the Vine.

As for the meaning behind these theatrics--I have judged them an amateur farce. A poor excuse for a play.

[rhododendronic]

[Though she's tried of being mocked, she doesn't seem to mind Kuja's attitude as much as the others.]

That is my name! I don't care how it might sound to you.

[But she obeys, settling on a quieter tone, but still filled with just as much irritation.]

A "poor excuse" is being too fair. What sort of joke is this?

[existwithoutme]

Have you no other name? Was that fine title you announce yourself with the only one you were given?

[Kuja considers the question.] I don't believe it is any kind of joke at all, on our captor's part, though if it were, it would be a distinctly humorless one.

We've been brought here by someone who likes fairy tales far too much. A queen spiriting women away to her hidden garden. As you yourself pointed out, she wants us to build. It's all very foolish.

[rhododendronic]

As a matter of fact, the name I was given was stripped from me. But I do have one other title. You may call me "Dr. Kiriko," if you prefer.

[So she was kidnapped. Interesting. Well, she can't say she never expected it. She has a lot of enemies that would be willing to pay to "get rid" of her for awhile. At least her life is not at risk just yet.]

Hm. So we are as pawns in her little game. I see. Well, I won't be such a co-operative piece... Where is the exit?!

[bluetruths]

Reaper, huh? ... Ihihihi. The Queen sure knows how to pick 'em. Lemme guess. You're new here.

[rhododendronic]

[Kiriko's eye narrows maliciously. Her limited patience is wearing thin...]

"New here." As if this "Queen" bitch expects me to stay?

[bluetruths]

We're all stuck here. That is, until one of us finds a way out.

[rhododendronic]

S-Stuck?!

[She looks shocked before she composes herself again.]

Is that so?! Well then, this Queen better watch her neck while she sleeps...!

[It's an empty threat, but Kiriko is not. happy.]
