[ My favourite part about this is how instantly Rupert abandoned trying to hoist up Aikawa for a window. ]
Ugh... well, at least... Bradley's keeping him busy or something... It's gotta be a headache listening to four dudes and bickering with all of them at once.
[ He will do his absolute best to stand on his own, and he's quite unsteady on his feet but he's trying to manage between the massive headache and the bodily pain. You know what's the one real good thing Aikawa does super well? Run away from authority figures.
So he's gonna dash after Rupert. So, if the students try to stop a twink prince from opening a window, it's one thing. But what if it's a giant near-7' man with a heavy metal boot heading straight for the window?
What? Should've just opened it normally? Nahhhh. What? Should've taken the staircase? What staircase? ]
[can't believe bradley is hawkmoth's favorite of this bunch.]
What reason would I have to go back on my word? I have everything to gain by cooperating with you, just as you have everything to gain by cooperating with me.
[as for crow:]
All of Erebonia never had the Miraculouses at their disposal. Would you really rather be obstinate and fail for sure, than take a chance and try? Or are you willing to let it continue on, or worse, end with your friend's death?
[meanwhile, officer raincomprix looks very offended that rupert and aikawa are bailing. he hurries after them, with a few armored cops following while some other armored cops run at bradley and crow, batons at the ready.
inside the classroom, the teacher yells for her students to take cover under the tables. some of them do, but some of them don't - a ponytailed blonde in a yellow jacket snarls out a: ]
You get out of here or my father, the mayor, will hear about this!
[...and then shrieks when aikawa comes crashing toward the window with his metal boot.
lila, who is a part of this class, sneaks around from her desk and opens a window further in the back.]
Quick, over here! There won't be any glass this way!
[ oh shit they're moving and there's still a villain chattering in his mind. ]
Bradley, stop coaxing the villain.
[ and-- ]
No one knows. We're gonna figure it out anyway. What could you do, you don't even know what the Great Twilight is.
[ well. this lila is offering good advice? so he's gonna run over and take a lil' peek out the window -- is there anything there like idek a police cage waiting to catch him or is she just being a bro? either way he's gonna have to go for it, but if he sees he can drop down saber ready at least. ]
[ Now he's also confused on top of it all. Is she really here or is she just a part of the setting? Where the fuck are they. Send help. But hey, it's as good as any, and Aikawa is going to follow them all out of here.
A slight wave of apology to the room of students as he leaves.
[please keep coaxing the villain, bradley, it's hilarious.]
Well, I was thinking I might give you the power to sap the strength from your enemies and make it your own... how does that sound to you? Or would you prefer the power to make anything you strike explode?
[hawkmoth chuckles in crow's head. also, crow gets a headache which will continually worsen into physical pain (as will his Bad Vibes) the longer he keeps resisting.]
And who says I don't know what it is? Every curse can be broken with sufficient power. And I can give you that power.
[lila is definitely a true friend who is letting people who look like they might get/have gotten akumatized escape even as the police are yelling for them to stop?? it's fine. the teacher, who is probably going to need a long drink after this day is over, is like "What are you doing??"
as aikawa heads through the window, they'll hear her say, as innocently as possible:]
Isn't it better if they leave the school, Mademoiselle Bustier? If the police fought with them here, people could get hurt!
[anyway, they end up outside the school, on the street. they're at the side of the school now - the police cars are parked in front of it. the eiffel tower looms in the distance. officer raincomprix has now pushed lila out of the way of the window and is trying to climb out of it, but he's gotten stuck.]
[ (britt voice) i am begging you to go to the tower.
so to the tower they go! ]
Look, you failed with two of us so far, just save yourself the headache and stop yapping in my ear. [ he has no idea what bradley is doing with hawkmoth other than vibing, but it seems like? maybe? he has stopped entertaining the evil man in his head?
Yeah Bradley keep giving him the attention so he can leave the rest of our asses alone.
[ He's so tired. And also in pain. But as they escape and Lila is shoved out of the way, he just calls out 'Sorry!' to her and her only as they escape. He's like, shaking a little with the strain, but he's managing to keep up with the rest. Probably because he's so big, he'd need a horse tranquilizer to keep him down.
But alright, c'mon. Running from the cops it is, let's keep going towards the tower. ]
Until I have more Miraculouses at my disposal, I'm limited to one at a time per person. If your companions were not quite so stubborn, you would have four different powers to use.
[hawkmoth, throwing shade.
anyway, he tch-es again and the mask light vanishes from around crow's face, but the butterfly doesn't emerge.
they all run through the tower! behind them, they'll hear shouting from the cops and a general commotion as the cops attempt to free officer raincomprix from the window. that's buying them some time, at least.
as they put distance between them and the school, the bad vibes and the physical pain start to lessen.
but as they approach the tower, the bad vibes intensify! like. insanely so. they're overwhelmingly awful. that specific negative feeling y'all told me about? it's taking over them completely.
the only exception to this is bradley since he's still talking with hawkmoth. he's the same as ever.]
[ well at least bradley's having a great time. and raincomprix, well-- he sure is doing his best. his daughter loves him, what else does he need in this world.
crow on the other hand is just
wow. unpleasant. bad vibes.
of course he's now full of bitterness and spite and he's also going to direct that towards solidly saying fuck you to ol' hawky and continuing towards the tower. albeit a little slower than before because mm.
[while whatever crow is feeling makes him move forward, whatever rupert is feeling makes him stop in place entirely, swallowing thickly and looking behind him.]
Is there anywhere to go other than the tower? I just - are we making a mistake?
[ Alright I will do a serious tag now maybe. Thanks for the overwhelming feeling takeover, Aikawa is effectively immobilized as soon as they get a certain degree of close to the tower. He keels over and makes a noise of pain and -- coughing up something? Well isn't this maybe a familiar sight, except whatever's dripping on the ground is a bit too dark to be blood. It's almost black, and sludge-like.
He's also just slowing down and in general not struggling as much. Exhausted and weak. ]
Fuck... I'll fucking kill you... [ Whomst. ] Stop this -- please. I'll listen, just make it go away.
[ Hawkmoth it's your time to shine I guess. Tch. ]
That's a secret. But once you've retrieved what I've asked for, I'll come to you so that we can make both our dreams come true. Do we have a deal?
[meanwhile, crow's bitterness and spite may be spurring him on, but good luck with continuing that! because overwhelming physical pain will overtake him as he gets closer and closer to the tower. much pain, such suffering. wow.
rupert is treated to the same deal.
but they'll both get the sense that this would just stop if they only had some kind of power... if only there was someone who could give them that...
meanwhile, with aikawa, his light-mask comes back, and he'll hear hawkmoth's voice in his head again.]
You'll listen? So... we have a deal, then? You'll retrieve the Miraculouses for me, and I'll make sure that you're the only one in your own head?
[meanwhile a woman who is taking her baby out for a walk in a stroller screams when she sees that sludge-like thing he's coughing up and shouts for someone to call an ambulance.]
Yes, fuck! Don't play with me! [ He is reaching desperate. Because if Hawkmoth won't do anything for him, he just might do something drastic by his own hand, so yes, Mr. Hawkmoo, spare him from this.
Sorry random lady with the stroller I hope that's the baby from the clip actually. ]
[it'd be nice to say that he makes this decision because this world is making it abundantly clear that he has to follow this internal logic in order to progress, but it's definitely 80% because it hurts and he has a lot of bad feelings.]
[ BIG MOOD, RUPERT. They're all just being so difficult that we had to get magically tortured into agreeing.
But uh, thanks Hawkmoth. The shadows take over, and he gets a cool ovedramatic supervillain uniform. Maybe? Actually, when the shadows disperse, he appears a little different, minus the giant box around his waist. Everything else is exactly that, though. His mask is gone for the time being, which is hilarious because wouldn't a villain usually have a mask? But nooo. But those closest to him can see his face under the hood and he looks the same, except he has cross-like markings over his eyes. He has an extremely dour and unhappy expression, unlike the reference image. ]
...
[ He hates this so much, wow. Edit nvm I can read yeha bad vibes gone wahoo!!! ]
