impending drama bomb

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Larxene probably shouldn't be on her feet so much when she can easily get Axel to do anything she needs, but she can't stand feeling like an invalid. So she insisted on getting her own tea.

She's walking back to her room now, taking sips from the mug in her hand.

Saïx was surprisingly passive when she met him in the forest room, which seems to Larxene like unusually good luck for her-- if only she knew...]


((Paging participants party to the plot!))

Larxene.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Even though she half expected it, the door breaking down startles her; she'd swear even the baby jumped at that noise. It hurts a bit...

The knives are out, for all the good they'll do here, and she gets shakily to her feet.]

Why?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

[chokes on some blood in his mouth, spitting it to the floor. he forces himself to focus, to see his very pregnant lover before him]

N-no--! You can't... she's mine--

[whether he means Larxene or the baby, it's not quite clear...]

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

Selfish girl, you left him all alone. Now he's broken.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[She can't pretend this doesn't upset her (heart or no heart); there's an audible tremor in her voice. But is it anger or fear?]

What do you need with a kid?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

'X-xene... run.

[he pleaded, voice desperate as he hangs in Juliet's grip, broken body swaying, blood dripping on the floor]

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

Its death.



Shall we cut to the chase, then? Hold still~

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[does not hold still. she dodges to the side, stumbling off-balance and catching herself against the bed.

She could probably portal away- but Saïx could follow her through, and Axel would certainly die.

Calling for help isn't her style but her pride's really the last thing on her mind right now, so...

Larxene looses a bolt of electricity at him, just to buy time so she can get to the door and yell at the top of her lungs:]

Anyone out there? We could use some fucking help here!

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[It was the shout that drew his attention, though he had already been heading in that direction anyway. The commotion in the area was hard to ignore, as well as the smell of blood. Something was up.]

Larxene...? [He sprints for the door to her room, summoning a chakram. It's precautionary, but he has the sinking feeling he'll be using it. It's all but confirmed when he finds Saix looming over her.]

Stop! [Self-preservation instincts practically nonexistent, he places himself as a shield in front of Larxene.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Larxene braces herself, holding a pillow as a shield even though she knows that's utterly useless, and then-]

Axel?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

[he hears a familiar voice, catches sight of red hair... but then his vision threatens to go completely and so he shuts his eyes, groaning from his spot on the floor. he's little more than a heap of broken bloody bones, pretty much useless]

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

Leave. This doesn't concern you.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Axel's eyes flick down to the blade, subconsciously leaning away from it a little.] No. Leave her alone.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Larxene moves back towards the other side of the bed, considering her options now that Saïx is occupied.

Her gaze falls on the nightstand. Sudden inspiration!

Carefully she gets off the bed.]

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

Don't be annoying.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[But being annoying is what he does best. Also, apparently, getting his stomach sliced open. Not today, though. Axel throws himself back, until he bumps into the bed, then rushes forward a little to the right as the blade goes left. His chakram leads as he moves in, going for an upward slice with the deadly weapon.]

surprise contractions: better or worse than surprise buttsex?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Larxene, meanwhile, takes advantage of the distraction. She grabs the lamp off the nightstand and advances on Saïx, gripping the plug in one hand to power the lamp for that extra kick.

She's just about to swing it at his head when her eyes go wide and she abruptly freezes. The lightbulb flickers and goes dark.]

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

[he's managed to drag himself up against the wall, leaving blood in his wake as he whimpers with pain. he catches sight of Larxene, and his heart thuds in his chest]

'X-xene...? S-stop it, you i-idiots!

[coughs up more blood, feeling dizzy]

S-some...thing's w-wrong...

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Axel attempts to dodge again, but the energy blade catches him in the chest a bit. He winces, but Larxene's safety is the reason he was here; Romeo's voice draws his attention to her again.] Saix, stop!

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Well, she's not going to swing it at him if she'd end up getting impaled. Larxene lowers the lamp and takes a step backward, glaring daggers at him.]

Will you leave?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

[he pushed off the wall with his hands, giving a sharp yelp of agony as his broken bones grind together. stumbling, staggering, dripping blood from torn skin where his bones poke out at ugly angles, he goes to Saïx, aiming to fall against him... but he only manages to fall at his feet, a pathetic broken mess]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Axel nudges aside Saix's blade with his chakram and dismissing the weapon, using Saix's distraction to his advantage. The redhead kneels to help his twin up, gently, his eyes on the blade being pointed at Larxene.]

Saix... Go.
