[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.) ]
bradley is able to pull rupert through the portal. he vanishes from the ambulance! this would startle shelliris, except she's been beaned in the back of the head with a stone (thanks crow), which knocks her the fuck out. she hits the ground hard, and a bracelet flies off her wrist. she is forced to detransform and is too passed out to stop anyone from just picking up her miraculous.
meanwhile in the burrow, the cops and riku look startled by rupert just Appearing! because bradley is very tiny and they didn't spot him. he's gone as quick as he's there, though.]
What the heck was that...
[me too, riku.
anyway, buniris returns with another injured cop. her hands are full! her pocketwatch is right there at her waist. roll a d20, bradley.
rip to everyone attempting to fight aikawa including monkeymauk, who rolls a 2 and is hit hard in the head. hard enough knock him out and to dislodge his circlet! which in turn causes him to detransform, you can recognize him now.
hawkmoth is cackling with laughter.]
Get it! Take it! Take the bracelet of the turtle, while you're at it!
[Bradley is very small and very quick, and apparently much more on top of things than he was earlier on the day. Maybe he got a buff from dying! (Gross.)
He has stolen away buniris's pocket watch and clips it onto his belt. Hope this Burrow holds when the power source(?) is stolen away. Considering the sheer amount of people who are in here, this could go very badly very quickly.]
[ crow just looks exhausted. and in pain. so much pain. he's going to pick up the bracelet because no one else is around here to, and then try and go through one of those portals where all the cool kids seem to be hanging out.
[now that crow has gone to the the burrow and rupert is the only one near aikawa, he's - freezing up for a second as he sees mollymauk plainly now. that makes him a little more determined, and while he's still very slow, he's yelling as he moves forward to try and pull this much bigger man away from this tiefling hero. it's fine.]
Don't! Aikawa, listen to me, you don't have to do this!
[ Well. That was easy enough! He's just going to slam a foot down on Monkeymauk's shadow for good measure as he bends down and picks up the circlet, a low hum of entertainment from him with a satisfied smile. Then he glances down and looks at the unmasked hero, who he somehow only recognises now that his mask is off, not like he might be purple with horns and a tail or any other defining feature like that. Maybe it's just in the eyes.
Initially, there's some mild surprise from him -- but then after he sees Molly, there's another seize wracking him, causing him to practically fold over with, what is that, pain? Who the hell knows. Either way, there's more of that sludge being hacked up en masse.
Which means that he isn't in any state to protest and somehow, Rupert finds it in him via the strength of friendship (no) to drag him backwards away from Molly. Because I rolled a 1. I'm in tears this is really funny. ]
[buniris is forced to detransform! she also immediately yells "GIVE THAT BACK!" unfortunately, this also dissolves the burrow, and they're all just deposited at the foot of the eiffel tower; she and riku end up at the bottom of a pile of injured cops. it'll take them some time before they can get free of that.
poor crow just cannot catch a break. he's right back where he started.
anyway, while the twink drags aikawa away, bradley and aikawa will both be treated to more of hawkmoo's voice:]
You've got them all...! Ladybug and Chat Noir will likely show up in a few minutes, but I don't think you're in any shape to fight them. I'll take the ones you've gathered for now, though, and I'll use their power to give you what you want, since the two of you upheld your end of the deal.
[The power of multiplication and portals, shields and... He has no idea what Molly's power was actually. The combo does not seem like enough to take down the moon.
He'll attempt to activate the pocket watch for the Burrow. Some of those windows went back to the daycare. Maybe some of them go to Hawkmoo, he'll find out when he gets there.
Also he'd like to take Aikawa, Crow and Rupert with him.]
[ hopefully bradley's attempt to get them all back to the daycare in time for a nap is gonna work because crow is literally just bleeding and flipping off hawkmoth.
this guy is going pretty high on his shitlist
also he's gonna use the bracelet to shield them if hawkmoo tries anything. double fuck you. ]
[ Bradley runs this train right now so honestly even if he could take us to the daycare, is he going to tho?
Aikawa(?) is just here, still spitting up blood(?). He just shakes Rupert's hand off and is sitting there being emo and grimacing. Then immediately getting distracted with the circlet he yoinked off of Molly and just playing with it I guess. He's two. ]
