thistle did a thing

[dearkaiserin]

[seeking eds and/or reds (both of whom actually know what a female orgasm is)

she's all bloody from the cuts on her neck and chin, though...she's wandering around the halls with the secondary goal of finding a bandage]

Comments

[dearkaiserin]

...the "creep" being Saiou, presumably.

[u better not be talking about her rivalgirlfriendwithbenefits u pipsqueak]

[perfect_thunder]

[He pulls back a little when Kaiserin seems MAD.]

Yes, Saiou.

[at least ed never got all Weird on him]

I haven't seen him since the library, anyway.

[dearkaiserin]

If you're telling the truth, your help might be valuable.

But we'll need other precautions.

[She turns to Red.]

Who's in this hallway?

[pyrrhic_thunder]

[Tempest bristles at being called a LIAR, but he just hangs back from the door.]

Uh...

Just th' other Kaiser and his sister, far as I know.

And. Eh. Him.

[vague uncertain gesture at tempest]

[dearkaiserin]

[His sister.

(for a moment, she imagines what would happen if her sister ever walked into a room with Saruyama and she shudders)]

...and where do you live?

[pyrrhic_thunder]

Uh...

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

I kinda. Moved into that room we. Stayed in.

[DOING WHATEVER WE ENDED UP DOING BEFORE I THREADDROPPED LIKE A LOSER]

[dearkaiserin]

[...Oh.

Well.

SAPPY LOOK???]

[dearkaiserin]

[wait kaiserin contain yourself. deep breath.]

...I'll...know where to find you, then.

I'm not far from there.

[pyrrhic_thunder]

[S-sappy....pretend the icon is blushing

He nods and quickly glances away like the wall is SUPER interesting. Tempest just grunts and slams the door at them.]

It ain't too far from here... Hopefully we'll hear any.. trouble.

[dearkaiserin]

[Wow good evening to you too Tempest. >:T]

...Mm. Hopefully we will.

[Something is troubling her, though.]

Saiou brainwashed three quarters of Duel Academy last year.

If this one has her power...

[pyrrhic_thunder]

Brainwashed?

He said something about this guy being able to... mess with his breathing or his body or something? I just figured he was being metaphorical.

[dearkaiserin]

...he was...probably being literal. Yes.

She had you especially deep. You could barely remember your own name.

[pyrrhic_thunder]

...

[Being part of a cult is a pretty disturbing thought mostly because of how plausible it seems. Hell, the underground was a kind of a cult, wasn't it?]

I thought I was immune?

[he still hasn't quite wrapped his brain around alternate universes]

[dearkaiserin]

Your double, maybe.

You were very susceptible.

[pyrrhic_thunder]

[He furrows his brow at Tempest's door.]

...so you're sayin' there's a promoter with insane psychic super powers or something.

[dearkaiserin]

...if we're unlucky? Yes there is.

[She looks pretty grim. Not surprising, considering.]

I might have to enlist my...

[right she can't start any descriptors of ed with that word]

...I'll talk to Ed.

[pyrrhic_thunder]

[He grimaces and pales a little somehow.]

So.. is there any way we ain't totally screwed? What can Ed do?

And how'd you get so cut up, anyway?

1/2

[dearkaiserin]

I'm not sure.

Ed's immune as well. And she could probably incapacitate him if I can convince her to lay a hand on him.

[dearkaiserin]

[When he mentions the cuts, she seems to...cheer up a little?]

I got in an argument with a woman who was very good with a knife.

But she never really followed through. Pity.

[pyrrhic_thunder]

You wha-?!

[...oh. Right. Masochist. He turns slightly red and rubs the back of his neck.]

I'm jus' a little concerned people are taking knives to you, that's all.

[dearkaiserin]

I could have stopped her if I chose. But opportunities like that are rare.

[she sees that blush, red]

Maybe if I had a better outlet...

[pyrrhic_thunder]

I mean - I know you can handle yourself, I jus...

[Thanks to Kyoko he kind of has a pretty good idea of what kind of awful things girls in the underground go through sob]

....Outlet? Like what?

[dearkaiserin]

Like you, maybe.

[oops did she say that out loud UuU]

So. You said there was another Kaiser?

[pyrrhic_thunder]

[fhdhdfjk

His blush gets a little more obvious. he's SUCH a tough stoic heel]

U-uh. Yeah. The Fubuki guy. He's in... one'a these rooms. Maybe he ain't here right now.

...

I don't think I could do somethin like that. S... stab you or whatever.

1/2

[dearkaiserin]

Mm. Maybe not.

It wouldn't have to be knives. Whatever strikes your fancy. It wouldn't even have to hurt, if you're confident in yourself.
