[that is indeed his kid! his kid, who has vanished into the portal, which has now closed up behind him.]
Once you activate the power, it will make you detransform within five minutes. You'll need to recharge it and then transform again before you can use the power.
...gah! They've probably all gone into the Burrow to recharge! Bring them out before they can!
[it's very quiet. the heroes are not around. some of the onlookers (because they've cleared the area but of course they're still watching from a safe distance) are gasping and pointing at aikawa and crow. also, an ambulance has just rolled up?
officer raincomprix struggles to his feet and whips out some handcuffs.]
Hands out and no funny business! I'm taking you all to the station!
[Just call things what they are, why do you have to be like that Moth?
Since that was Riku, or someone that looks like Riku he has lost most of his interest in pursuing him. Riku can do whatever the fuck he wants, actually.
But.]
Got suggestions?
[For either the police officer(?) or the portal situation.]
[ well. if he gets in that ambulance he has a feeling he will end up in jail. bad, actually. ]
No, I really don't think so. One of them stabbed me, yet you're focused on me, huh?
[ man he's really going to have to do something about this umbrella. can it be cut? he's willing to try and cut it so he can move around a little easier without unplugging the wound. ]
[he’s not really in a position to run, but he’s giving the officer the most exhausted stare from where he sits on the ground, hand still pressed over his face.]
[ Sorry guys. But more than anything, the biggest sorry to Officer Raincomprix.
Aikawa sits there with his face in his hands, so it's a little hard to see how he's doing -- or maybe some things will be clear in the next few seconds because when Officer Raincomprix comes closer, hands out with the cuffs, he's very abruptly striking with his knife. Dorohedoro lore says bones may as well be butter to his knives but we can go with just stabbing him in the forearm instead of a straight-up upward slice, too.
Either way? Not good for our cop dad. And he's getting up. ]
They'll be watching from the Burrow - cause enough trouble that they have no choice but to come out! That will be your chance!
[meanwhile, with the cop.
as tempting as it is to go with dorohedoro lore here, i'll spare you guys the amputation. officer raincomprix lets out a howl when he's stabbed and jerks back, which just makes it worse? idiot? (that's what he gets for rolling a 2.)]
Trespassing at a school, bringing weapons to a school, property damage, threatening a tourist, MORE property damage, assault on a police officer - you're really in for it now!
[the words come out pained.
the other cops in armor are advancing on them all.]
[ sorry papapoliceman, crow's more focused on getting rid of this cumbersome part of the umbrella britt told me he's been allowed to cut off. he's still got a spindle of an umbrella in his stomach, and it still hurts, but my god this is better than carrying a whole umbrella around like a third arm. ]
-- Get that seen to first, if he hit somewhere vital you could bleed out?
[ priorities, raincomprix. ] Also don't crowd him, he just stabbed you. [ ignoring them all in favour of looking at ai-kai-wa. ]
And you need to take a deep breath and get your shit together. [ he's got his double saber ready, in case he strikes again. fighting won't be fun, but you don't let a gun user only bring their gun to a knife fight and rupert is rupert and twinking him down or trampling him with a horse isn't an option so... ]
[we're all doing great. his eye (i almost typed eyes lmao) goes wide when he sees the stab, and then - it's incredibly slow given all the pain he's in, but he's staggering towards aikawa.]
[ He turns his head a little bit, seeming... somewhat confused? Yeah, he seems a little bit confused, but less so unsteady. However he's feeling is also unclear given the hood over his head. At least one thing seems obvious, this officer is clearly trying to threaten him. He looks down at Officer Raincomprix for a hot minute, then at the other cops advancing in?
Crow and Rupert are also saying something to him and he turns his head a little bit but he doesn't say anything. After a moment of what appears to be assessing the situation, he just grins.
We're being threatened, buckos. Which means he does not listen to either Crow nor Rupert, and instead will abruptly move to slice or stab another nearby officer, the limiter for grievous injury is gone. He's here to kill. ]
[rip to rupert and crow, but with bradley brandishing a gun and aikawa attempting to murder any cop that gets close, they're absolutely not being listened to.
so! so. cops are dying, some of them are attempting to tackle aikawa (that's gonna go well), some of them are trying to shoot the gun out of bradley's hands, and a pair of medics approaches to try and whisk rupert away to an ambulance. crow, however, gets no attention despite the stab wound because he's still akumatized.
this is a sufficient commotion! the portal opens back up and buniris, monkeymauk, and a recharged turtliris emerge. they get a glimpse of riku before the portal closes up; he doesn't get to join the fun because bradley stole his miraculous.
hawkmoth roars in bradley, crow, and aikawa's minds:]
GET THEM! GET THEIR MIRACULOUSES NOW BEFORE THEY ATTACK!
[ sorry hawkmoo (except not) he has an angry six foot ten man willing to stab people right in front of him and he's spent too much time around Protagonists back home to let to slide. ]
Shut up and get it yourself if you're that desperate for them.
[ he has a knife to intercept. which he does, with a stumble and a curse as it tugs on the wound and object still inside of it. wrapping one arm loosely around his middle to protect it, he swings his double saber to catch ai-kai-wa's knife before it can stab another officer in any significant way. ]
Shit. If you're not going help Bradley, do whatever to get that asshole in our heads to stop talking. [ rupert-- well. god bless. please don't get too close. ]
[farewell. he's trying to struggle against these medics, but he has a notable lack of upper body strength even when he's not bleeding everywhere. an attempt is being made, though.]
is an IMMEDIATE annoyance and a scowl. He's mumbling something and bonks himself a little in his own head with the butt of his free palm. What the fuck? He knows who this is and why he's getting yelled at but he's not just gonna take that, don't be rude. ]
Shut up.
[ Said EXTREMELY forlornly. Like the world's biggest and most dour two year old. But also said while stomping purposefully on the shadow of a cop's arm hard enough for it to abruptly snap mid-air, so you know, no sympathy. Though then here comes Crow trying to stop him, intercepting that knife that would most certainly have found a lovely home in a cop's neck if it weren't for the double-saber hitting it. ]
...?
[ You wanna go, little man comparatively smaller man? But sure, he will turn his attention form trying to stab the cop into slashing at Crow instead, bceause he's somehow even ruder than just telling him 'fuck off'. ]
[that's a good question, bradley! the pocketwatch that's at her waist, the chain acting as a belt, flashes as another portal opens and she jumps through it.
huh, where's she going?
a portal opens behind one of the injured officers and she pulls him through it.
meanwhile, the circlet monkeymauk is wearing glints as he calls out his attack's name again and hurls a stuffed toy at aikawa(?), who is fighting with crow.
speaking of crow!
he has pissed hawkmoth off, so his transformation drops too. no more powers for him, and also the enhanced supervillainous strength and endurance vanish, so have fun fighting aikawa like that now that you're feeling Even More Pain.
as for rupert, the medics have a pretty solid grip on him. you'll need to roll higher than a 17 for him to escape being dragged into an ambulance.]
[This entire situation is a disaster! Bradley is going to go make a jump for the portal and the officer that's being pulled through.
Not exactly the day he wanted, but it does seem to be the day he's getting. Might as well try to get into the portal. If he has to get tiny to hitch a ride, so be it.]
[ imagine if crow could be in two places at once. ]
Bite them, Rupert. I can't-- shit---
[ there's just a wave of hurt on top of the rest of it that sends him staggering, open and vulnerable for a moment -- which is bad considering the guy with a knife right there. "don't get split up", rupert had said. they've done fantastically at that.
with the stagger and the pain, and the knife slash (and the fact britt hasn't roll locked me), the knife connects with his cheek, dragging a sharp slash into his skin. it barely registers in the midst of everything else, and there's really only pure spite directing his feet now. he swings the saber, aiming to try and hit ai-kai-wa's hand like he did buniris', and maybe loosen his grip on his weapon. ]
[for these reading at home, i rolled a ten, so. into the ambulance he goes! he absolutely doesn't know what an ambulance is, so he assumes these people are just taking him to jail. it doesn't help that he's panicking slightly as he's watching what goes down with crow and aikawa, shouting before he's pulled inside the vehicle—]
Aikawa, stop! Don't hurt him! [to these poor medics:] Get your hands off me, he needs help!
[he's not going to stop trying to push them off even as he's dragged inside, and he is in fact going to try to
[ Yeah if only we had cloning abilities up in here right Crow? Unfortunately only Bradley has maybe-cloning abilities if Mice Riku is to be believed. For now, yeah, Crow is going to have to deal with having a Steven Scar-esque wound on his face, suddenly. He doen't seem to feel any which way about just having cut Crow's face, with what's visible of his expression under the hood being on the lower end only seeming vaguely annoyed or unamused.
When Crow swings that saber though, it does connect with his arm, leaving a cut through his sleeve and a gash there, but due to his 16, it's not enough for him to let go of his knife. Rather, he scowls hard, between this injury and Monkeymauk screeching in the distance flinging toys at him, so he raises a foot and aims to kick Crow in the gut away from himself and also hopefully dodge that stuffed toy? He remembers what happened when that monkey smacked him with the play ball earlier. He rolled a 17 for this.
I ALSO WOULD HELP RUPERT BUT YOU KNOW, ALL THIS IS HAPPENING. BRADLEY HELP HIM, GOD. ]
[bradley is now mouse sized, attached to the cop, and hitching a ride into the portal with him! inside this portal is an assortment of cops that have been spirited away for safety, riku, and buniris. it's a white space with holes showing different places and times - for the most part it's showing the fight they're currently engaged in from different angles, but there's a few holes showing the daycare, too.
buniris tells riku to watch over the cops and hops through one of the holes to go fetch another! she returns carrying a cop that has been injured.
meanwhile, rupert's bite is enough to free him because the medics rolled a 1. he's still in immense pain because of his eye, though, and the shout from the medics had some of the uninjured cops on the alert.
also, turtliris is here and seems to be about to use shellter again, so you might want to do something before she does.
monkeymauk's roll is a 14 so the man fighting crow dodges! monkeymauk skulks over to pick up the toy, but it's vanished.
hawkmoth's commentary:]
Take his Miraculous! The circlet! Then you can use his power as your own!
[ wow, everything sure is happening. first of all, aikaiwa's foot connects with his stomach and there is just a sheer, blinding pain. like for a moment all he hears is white noise and silence -- and i'm being kind and not even saying he kicked him directly in the umbrella spike. the darkness around his shirt from where he's been bleeding suddenly gets worse -- because i learned that a stab wound will clot quite happily with a bit of time and pressure if it didn't hit anything drastic, but that sure just got fucked up. the dark stain is spreading again.
there's a strained, pained noise that slips out from between gritted teeth, but once the moment of pain on top of the pain from hawkmoth being a petty bitch subsides, he's swinging the double saber down towards aikaiwa's good arm -- the one holding the knife -- looking to slice directly into his other shoulder. fuck this guy's shoulders. ]
...
[ luckily their twink saved himself, good for their twink, so that's one less thing to worry about. but now they have shellris to worry about instead and he is so done with this stupid place. he's going to tell lila how much he hates paris as soon as they're back.
if they get back.
he crouches down as best he can without jostling his stab wound again. even if aikaiwa is still swinging at him, he's grabbing a stone from the ground and flinging it at at shellris. let the court record state that i rolled a nat20. ]
[he's about to use this moment of respite to drag himself out of the ambulance, but then he's being pulled through the portal! wow, bradley did one thing this cyoa that he appreciates. he pauses at all the different portals in this room, but once he sees one that leads to where aikawa and crow are, he's stupidly and slowly staggering out through it if he can. assuming that works, he's going to try to move over to aikawa to pull him away from crow, but 1. he's a twink and 2. everything hurts so much it's impeding his movement A Lot.
(in case lowe needs it i rolled a 3 for this part lmao)]
[ Ouch, yeah that connects and leaves a pretty decently deep gash, enough so that it causes him to stumble and the knife clatters from his hand. And then something else happens. He seems to seize up on the spot, looking stunned for a slightly different reason -- then falls forward, hurking out a torrent of very dark something, more of that black sludge. It seems a little disproportionate though, for a shoulder injury? Definitely not the same as coughing up some blood. And he shivers a little bit, seeming to strain in his movements for a moment.
Ah, but thank you Hawkmoth for your intervention, now there's something far more appealing to his attention. Forget Crow, he's picking up his temporarily dropped knife from the ground where he's hunched over, turning and abandoning Crow (and everyone else bye suckers) towards Monkeymauk's direction with a wild grin. SORRY RUPERT TOO, but with his low roll, I think he maybe just didn't even notice the poor, extremely injured and in-pain twink trying his best.
Reaching out with his injured arm (thank you villain powers for making him even more unnecessarily resistant against pain than he already is) aiming to smack him down with a hit right in his forehead because I want to be kind and not immediately knife Monkeymauk.
Steal powers did you say? :) That sure is something he knows how to do! (Or try, anyway.) ]
