✿10 [Action] (Fourth Wall)

[redstringed]

*Wherever you are, it is nighttime.

And yet despite the time of night, and despite the winter cold, there is a young-looking girl sitting outside sipping a steaming-hot cup of tea. And perhaps looking up at the moon in thought.*

...a shift? No, that's quite preposterous. This world is hardly coherent enough for something of that nature to occur.

And yet... something seems to be rather amiss.

[Hey, how you doin', Rachel?]

You know, sometimes I wonder if all you do is annoy the shit out of people and drink tea.

[redstringed]

*Well, that changes the mood. ...for a moment, Rachel is visibly shocked - but then it's masked under a pile of contempt dripping with venom.* Ah, of course.

A world free of your loathsome stench was far too good to be true.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

Oh, please. You're not nearly as unhappy to see me as I am to see you.

[redstringed]

I do so doubt that.

Though I also doubt that you, in your unending arrogance, have quite begun to comprehend your current situation.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

Please, shitty little vampire! How stupid do you think I am?

[redstringed]

Rarely is the border between stupidity and overconfidence so clearly defined, you miserable worm.

You, Terumi, are now a plaything.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

Aw, you don't have to try and tell me about this place. This isn't the first time I've been yanked right outta our little world to be a "toy" for some scientists.

Hell, this isn't the first time I've been here either. This time last year sure was a whopping load of fun.

[redstringed]

...well, then. That does save me the trouble of explaining to your wretched self that here, it would seem we are no longer seated in the audience.

And all that comes with it.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

You're really good at stating the obvious, you know that? Is that some power vampires have?

[redstringed]

When necessary to explain the simplest of concepts to a halfwit as yourself? Yes.

*Taking a sip of tea.* Do you have any meager reason why I should not end your pathetic existence now?

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

Besides the whole, you can't beat me reason? Not much.

[redstringed]

That arrogance will be so very delicious when I am grinding your face into the dirt with the rest of your filth-eating brethren.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

You're as old as a relic, and you're still able to have fantasies. That's a miracle.

[redstringed]

Oh, quite the contrary. I have had the time to envision all the exact agonies and indignations I should like you to suffer.

Every. Single. One.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to try. I wouldn't mind crushing them all in front of you.

[redstringed]

I suppose no longer being confined to the onlooker's box has its advantages.

*No warning: Ker-ZAP.*

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

[And he's hit, but still standing.] Damn! No witty banter, just straight to the point?

[redstringed]

*Rachel outright giggles.* I have no desire to hear the sewage spewing from your mouth any longer than I must.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I just love giving you headaches! [With a flick of the wrist, Hazama is now wielding his butterfly knife.]

[redstringed]

As long as you suffer, where precisely hurts is of much less importance to me.

*She doesn't have Nago and Gii. :(

But she can turn her dress into knives.*

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

[That's not as impressive after you've seen it so many times thanks to observing the continuum shifts. Oh well. Hazama just jumps into the air, backwards.

Then shoots out one of his Oroboros chains at her.]

[redstringed]

*Deflecting it to the side with her dress-blade-thing, and a sudden gust of wind lifts her up into the air - perhaps more than it would have otherwise, given her newfound wings.*

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

You should just give up! [He reels himself in on his deflected chain, skidding across the ground underneath Rachel, then throws a chain upwards at her.]

[redstringed]

*Only the vampire isn't there anymore; she disappears in a shower of black wind and roses, reappearing on the other side of Hazama to throw a blast of lightning from her fingertips.* And give you your twisted, perverse satisfaction? I would sooner die.

[shitty-vampires.livejournal.com]

[Oh snap, but Hazama just flings himself up into the air, but at an angle. Just enough to dodge that annoying lightning.]

Hey, I'm not holding you back! Go ahead and just die!
