yuri shakes his head and it's like a daze and there's pieces of him obscured and missing -- things that if he were to dwell on them, he'd find eery and wrong to be without. goals? what goals, did he have goals...? he'd make a promise to someone once, like a dream but the pieces aren't right and they twist and retreat when he tries to look at them
really look and see what's there and what they could be. ]
Monika pointedly does not think about her foggy memories, unless she wants to have another identity crisis in this terrible tunnel. Her memories of her past are already foggy enough, so if she loses her memories of the present, then—
[ well good news!! As soon as Rin starts walking forwards, another location materializes in front of them! This time, it's a huge laboratory bathed in white. And in the lab: a stern-faced doctor in a lab coat. A stern-faced soldier. A variety of monitors, all displaying vitals and readouts.
Monika, dazed from sedation, strapped down to an examination table in the middle of them all.
The doctor checks over the restraints on Monika before walking over to one of the computers providing feedback on her. ]
[Say no more. Rin is already walking right up to that table to go and get her. There's probably plenty of people there but he has a very one-track mind right now and isn't paying any attention to what the other people are saying or doing.
Rescue Monika, and then get out. Sure, he can do that.]
[ the doctor glances over his shoulder at them, but doesn't move otherwise. He's seen scarier, and this takes priority.
Besides, the soldier steps between them and Monika, hand on his rifle in obvious threat. He's the one who speaks now: ]
And just what do you think you're doing? This thing is a danger to us all!
[ in that moment, Monika begins to sieze and shake, electricity arcing off of her. The pain is certainly going to be enough of a wake up call to shake off the rest of the sedatives, at least.
The soldier glances over his shoulder at her and then turns back to Rin and Yuri, snarling. ]
See?! We can't afford to hesitate. [ yelling over to the doctor: ] Don't stop, no matter what!
yuri swings dein nomos directly at the soldier, aiming to knock the gun out of their hands -- the strike is followed up by a blow to the back of the head, to make sure this asshole really hits the dirt. hell, if they try to stand up again, he's not above stabbing them outright. ]
Either knock the doctor out or break the machine, I'll try and force her restraints open.
[Goodbye, sedatives! Hello, casual teen torture at Trader Joe's.
Restrained as she is, Monika can't do much besides scream and writhe, desperately trying to break out of her restraints. Enjoy her agonized wails as the BGM to this scene, wowie!]
[It's probably a good thing it's not Rin in control right now because those screams would be a source of nightmares for some time to come.]
Gladly.
[The demon, however, pays little mind to the screaming, since Yuri already said he would take care of it. Instead he's grinning like a maniac while he runs at the doctor to deck him right in the face. Even lacking his demonic strength, his punch will still hit hard. The demon doesn't restrain himself like Rin does.]
[ The soldier's gun is summarily smacked out of his arms and Yuri hits him hard enough that he falls over and cracks his head against the floor. That's not enough to deter him, though, because the soldier, dazed and in pain, still manages to crawl and shuffle along the floor, clamping a hand around Yuri's ankle. Anything to stop him from freeing Monika.
The doctor meanwhile gets only the barest chance to balk in horror before Rin absolutely decks the guy. He crumples to the floor, but not yet unconscious--and not before he accidentally hits a button on the console that sends every door locking shut and alarms blaring. The lights flash red in warning. The doctor balks even more. Solemnly: ]
You idiot! Now we're all going to burn.
[ oh!! And don't think I forgot Monika!! Because her state has progressed even further--she is now growing orange and silver machinery out of her body. It ebbs and flows with no logic or control--one moment her leg is an enormous robotic boot, the next her chest gardens into a silvery console, the next her arm is gone and replaced by a sword. Whatever is in her, it seems to be going haywire, and Monika is aware and feeling every second of it. ]
[ he's made it pretty clear he's Done here. yuri just flips dein nomos up and cracks the flat of the blade down on the solider's head. be unconscious already.
if it works, he'll be dashing over to monika as quickly as he can, and flipping out a dagger from his waistband -- distinctly camebit looking in style. even if it's going to shock him, he doesn't have much choice but to set to hacking at one of the restraints on her hands in the hope she'll be able to partially free herself once one of them is moveable again. ]
[Yuri will want to be carefully, because I just rolled a 10 and Monika is turning and tossing like crazy. If he manages to get to her restraints, he will accidentally cut into her skin here and there. It's fine.
But right now, Monika doesn't seem aware of the world around her. All she's truly aware of is the pain and the horror of her body distorting and reshaping itself in quick succession. She screams and screams until her throat is raw, sobbing and writhing around in jerky movements — though only as far as the restraints allow it.
And speaking of her restraints, if one of her arms becomes a sword, would she be able to cut through one of the restraints while moving?]
[Yuri, Monika, and the demon himself. Should fire arrive, they will be spared. As for everyone else though...
Ah, well. This doctor might not live that long anyway. Because the demon is going to try to pick up the man by his shirt, and if that's successful then he's going to start slamming the man into the machinery to try and break it.
Knock the doctor out, break the machine. Por que no los dos?]
[ cries, i can't believe it, but yeah, that's. that'll do it. the soldier's knocked out, sprawled on the floor. good job, yuri
Monika, in the meantime, will still be writhing in pain as her body contorts and mutates in constant flux. And yes, she might be able to cut her own restraints, if the sword-arm stays in place long enough, but it's uncontrollable and hard to tell how long it might last. Some of the restraints are breaking under the constant shifting and rapid machinery growth anyway, so there's that at least. And hey, good news!! It's getting worse! New appendages begin sprouting out of her, wiry and haphazard, like tumorous metal. Sheets of metal start growing out of her spine almost like spikes, making it impossible to lay on her back anymore.
The doctor gets picked up by the shirt and slammed through a few computers, but he's not out for the count. He manages to look up from where he's crashed to the ground and spots the broken computers. ]
You--the bleach protocol! There's no way to disable it now! [ and then his face hardens ] Enough of this. There's no time.
[ He pulls out what looks like a strange white pistol and aims it square at Monika. ]
The dice say some of the restraints are definitely snapping. Between that, the spikes and the extra appendages, she may very well fall off the table and out of the doctor's line of sight. Truly hope whatever he's about to shoot hits someone else.
"why" i want to fuck around and find out
Anyway, life is still and curse and existence is a prison. Monika is screaming. Thank you.]
[ well. Between Yuri's IMPECCABLE dagger throw and Rin's shit arm diversion, I'm gonna say the bullet goes wide and fires off into the ceiling. The doctor falls over, limp and silent. ]
[ yeah get wrecked doctor. yuri just stares at him for a moment with a very dry, cold stare, and then goes back to tearing at monika's restraints with his hands this time. ]
C'mon, the sooner we get you out of here the sooner all this crap stops.
The demon will slam the doctor against the machine one last time before letting him drop. Then he looks impatiently at Yuri and Monika, as if to say, "it's taking you THIS long?"]
[ well good luck with that, pals, because hey, remember that bleach protocol thing? Yeah, it's kicking in now!
The air suddenly feels supercharged, and everyone's hair sways and stands on end. Monika begins seizing more violently again with more electric arcs so uh, good luck with that Yuri.
And all of you are going to feel excruciating pain as you start getting ripped apart on a molecular level. ]
