[ hey so the last place she was at sucked but this place kind of also? sucks?? lovelace is here. looking around for the others, expecting the people she came here with, at the most. kind of trying to ignore any other familiar faces in the soldiers. trying really hard.

also she is wearing an extremely blood-soaked hawaiian shirt and has a gun! which she will aim at the first person she sees approaching, despite... the fact that she's looking for her friends. ]

Who's there?

[riverbeans]

[despite [redacted] charles is just strolling out as chill (kind of literally now) and laidback as ever.

though when isabel points a gun at him he holds his hands up.]

Whoa, whoa, it's me! C'mon, I've been looking for you and Shoma this entire time, and this is how you say hi...?

[also for the others' reference he is also wearing a hawaiian shirt and covered in blood and guts. he has a sword that he is still holding his hand.]

[thematics]

Oh.

[ lowers the gun :) ]

Hi.

[riverbeans]

Hi.

[looks around, frowning a little now.]

So... where do you think this falls in our mission?

[naeddre]

[hey guys what's up

throné is here. she looks terrible. she is covered in blood. just like an ungodly amount. she has a knife, a sword, and a huge hole in her chest. not all the way through, but it's pretty bad. also her leg is weird. she also smells faintly like apple juice, but fermented. rotten? anyway.

she is just standing here bluescreening, looking at viktor and lucien getting stabbed and restabbed in the distance.]

[thematics]

[ ... stepping in between her and that sight...? ]

You real? [ I MEAN PROBABLY A FAKE WOULD ALSO ANSWER YES, BUT, ]

[riverbeans]

[honestly this is what charles was wondering there have been too many illusions]

[naeddre]

[sloooowly stares at her.

she brings a hand up to itch at her other arm. kind of violently. like she's trying to make sure it's skin? weird.]

... Lovelace?

[solesuccess]

[ he's just standing here and staring at her for a moment like he's trying to also understand if she's real. he's similarly covered in blood and probably gore, though she can faintly make out a hawaiian-patterned shirt he's sort of swimming in. he also has a new robot arm, and it's hard to see but there is a stab wound in his shoulder.

he doesn't really try to get her attention, but the staring is pretty obvious. ]

[naeddre]

[hey buddy! she's also not sure if you're real and probably could not handle it if you weren't. or if you are. the mental state ain't doing so hot. she's scratching kind of violently at one of her arms as she finally looks over at him.]

... Shoma? [a pause.] You're...

[she will move over to him and stop in front of him, and stare.]

[solesuccess]

[ he's just kind of here, standing off into the distance as he walks and passes by semi-familiar faces. he's mostly in a daze as he goes, but when the tremors start and he hears isabel's voice he stops in his tracks.

he doesn't say anything, standing here also still extremely soaked in blood and in a hawaiian shirt that's way too big for him. there's a robot arm in place of one of his real ones, held awkwardly and close to him. if it looks like his eyes are a little red, no it doesn't fuck you. ]

...just me, Captain.

[riverbeans]

[waves a little]

... Hey, Shoma. [though the vibes are Concerned] Glad to see you're still in one piece.

[solesuccess]

[ waves back slowly. ]

Well. In theory. [ he is waving with his robot arm which he is not sure if that counts or not. ] Where did you go?

[thematics]

[ mmm you're not lookin' so good kid. (well, neither of us are. no one is.) she puts away the gun and raises her hand to ruffle his hair. and then like. stops before making contact. drops her hand back to her side. ]

Good. Wasn't sure where either of you went.

[solesuccess]

[ this time he doesn't even bother trying to duck away, but she moves at the last second so none ruffle. ]

Yeah. We...walked in together and then you guys disappeared. It was the same, right?

[frotag]

[ hi, you're pointing a gun at ichiban, who in addition to wearing a new outfit himself is covered in what seems to be rotten applesauce. his normally blown-out hair is... well, still mostly blown-out, but some parts of it are pressed flat against his head thanks to blood and guts and whatever else was thrown at him, look, he's been through it.

he raises his hands in the universal "don't shoot" gesture before he realizes who's about to pull the trigger on him... at which point, he stares. ]

...dude, you stole my look.

[ and then collapses where he stands. ]

[thematics]

Oh for God's sake.

[ she will lower the gun and come try to make sure he is alive??? BRO DON'T SHOW UP JUST TO DIE IN FRONT OF HER. ]

[naeddre]

[IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME]

[solesuccess]

[ HELLO????? ]

What the hell--[ AHHHH???? someone else check that he's alive please and thank you!!! ]

[naeddre]

[THROWS THE WATCH AT HIS HEAD]

[riverbeans]

... You alive there, friend?

[kabari]

Could be askin' you the same thing.

[ actually she would cut first and ask questions later, so maybe it is better that lovelace said it first.

anyway hi baiken is here and she also has a new outfit. she is covered in grime, and what would very well be interpreted as bloodsplatter, along with a more mysterious pale goopy splatter. it's fine don't worry about it. still got a katana tho so that's cool. ]

[thematics]

[ smiles? and lowers the gun. ]

... Isabel Lovelace.

[riverbeans]

[waves]

Hey, Baiken.
