"And you? Oh, you're also quite drunk aren't you? Yes, this is the Human Saturday Night, and you do love your libations."

[ So you've been tossed in a jail. Where? What for? There is a Weirdly Pretty Lady grilling every other poor sod in the drunk tank animatedly when you too are shoved ignobly in as well. ]

"Ah! Another fresh face! How good of you to join us!"

[no it's ON SIGHT

his eyes go wide, and then a heartbeat later he's trying to headbutt her into the wall hard enough to dent it, like a labrador retriever but mad about it]

[imagomeandyou]

[ there's a sickening crack as her head hits the concrete wall. she blinks. ]

Ah! There you are ♥!

[ her booted foot comes up to kick him right in his new human nuts ]

[kettlewelp]

[he windmills his arms as he moves to recover his balance after the impact, trying to adjust for his new center of balance, the way these limbs don't drag at the air the way wings should. his movements carry a sense of lethal speed and power, even with their awkwardness--

then her boot connects with a softer but somehow equally impactful thump. he folds fully in half like a briefcase, wheezing]

[imagomeandyou]

[ If she can, she will use that same boot to kick him onto his back and sit right on his chest ]

I was so worried when I couldn't find you. I had no idea how slow travel on foot could be. How do you think they stand it? Aaah, I suppose they have those noisy mechanical beasts to do the walking for them. Maybe I should try one.

[kettlewelp]

Ghkk--

[oh yeah she can totally do this. he swipes at her throat with one flailing hand to try to choke her in the way down but he can't get enough grip to keep it and just ends up flat on his back as she planned, wheezing even harder]

[imagomeandyou]

[ catches his hand and laces their fingers together ]

Maybe . . . what do they call it? A "train"? Yes, a train could be fun.

[kettlewelp]

[yanks at her hand, fruitlessly]

Yhh-- You! What have you done?!

[imagomeandyou]

Me?



I jaywalked.

[kettlewelp]

[ATTEMPTS TO LASER HER IN THE FACE]

[imagomeandyou]

[ FUCKING OW WHAT THE FUCK, trying to grab him by the collar to give his head a few solid slams into the ground but u know how it is with lasers ]

[kettlewelp]

[NO SHE CAN. his ear starts bleeding; he digs his fingernails into her hand and whines, enraged]

Yeeuuuueeew, you-- you're repulsive. Just look at yourself.

[imagomeandyou]

[ she laughs, first sounding charmed, then hysterical, then threadbare tired in turn. ]

I know, I know. Carapace on the inside. It’s quite disgusting.

[ dabs his ears with her lacy kerchief ]

Oh let’s not fight. Not now. There’s so much to do.

[kettlewelp]

To do? With what? Human trains?

[thrashes under her suddenly, hoping to flip them and pin her with his greater height and weight]

[imagomeandyou]

Oomph!

[ he does flip her ]

For starters, why not?

[ but also she’s gotta bite his arm ]

[kettlewelp]

[KEENS AND TRIES TO HEADBUTT HER AGAIN

HE'S NOT 100% ON WHAT YOU DO WITH HANDS BESIDES GRAB WITH THEM YET]

This is not what the Earth wanted!

[imagomeandyou]

[ tries to use her jaw strength to flip him back over. It’s not very effective, so after a beat she just lets him go. Lets her head fall to the ground with maybe a bit more of a thunk than intended.]

The Earth isn’t going to get what it wants . . . Except to live.

cw: whatever this thread is

[kettlewelp]

[puts both his hands around her throat]

Fight me properly. Change us back.

Re: cw: whatever this thread is

[imagomeandyou]

[ smiiiiiiiles and

Time to brain dump what she actually knows about the Carbon Destroyer. How it will spread (inevitably, irreparably), and how in time it will infect every being of every kingdom of life. From the greatest beast to the tiniest cell, sooner or later the poison will touch every strand of DNA on the planet. All that lives will begin to rot. Not right away. Not even in a single generation. But bit by bit, life will shut down. Until only the tiniest multicellular beings are left, and then the single cells, and then not even them. Perhaps a few simple enough viruses will survive. Perhaps someday they will be able to create “life” again on this sterilized world.

But probably not. ]

Re: cw: whatever this thread is

[kettlewelp]

[his hands spasm on her throat, but if nothing else, the infodump means that it's too weak to do damage; he's too busy processing the parts of the information that he didn't have already. and yet...]

--this is why you finally agreed to let me kill them!

Re: cw: whatever this thread is

[imagomeandyou]

It was, yes. But it’s too late now, oh gentle brother mine.

[ beams him again with her absolute certainty that the weapon will be used against the next Kaiju that stomps into the Tokyo metropolitan area ]

Re: cw: whatever this thread is

[kettlewelp]

[wavers at that, more physical than emotional, listing to one side and lifting one hand from her throat to his forehead; his nose is bleeding now too. the magnitude of her conviction is incompatible with their feeble human tissues in much the same way as the magnitude of his fury.]

Nngh--

((and then an offer gets made which Mothra graciously accepts for them. oops!))

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ honestly, with how little she weighs she's less shoved and more tossed in— like a naughty cat being imprisoned in the bathroom. brightly: ]

Oh, no, it's my pleasure.

[imagomeandyou]

Come, sit.

[ taps the bench next to her. ]

Would you care to regale us with a tale of the sins for which you have been so imprisoned?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ hops! onto the bench! ]

It's not much of a tale, I'm afraid! Sometimes you run into someone from a bad period in your life, and you don't stop long enough to think "I'll probably get in trouble if I try to pay them back," you know? Embarrassing, really.

[imagomeandyou]

Ah, I can’t really say that I do I know. I always pay transgressors their due promptly. Is it vexing?

[ghostfromthemachine]

It's no fun, that's for sure. The downside of youth or whatever, I suppose.

What are you in for?

[charmdefensive]

[sitting up and flipping her hair so that it falls in the right way, after it was messed up from being thrown in here]

Oohh, we have some cuties here at the after-party!

[imagomeandyou]

Don’t we? Come sit, come sit!

[ pats the bench :> ]

[charmdefensive]

[sitting right next to her, recklessly leaning into her personal space]

So what's going on in here?

[imagomeandyou]

[ FINE AND GOOD TO DO ACTUALLY ]

These gentlemen had just finished explaining their ill-fated revelries. Won't you grace us with your own tale?

[charmdefensive]

They put me in here for indecent exposure, which I'm honestly a little offended by, because I wasn't even trying... I could have been a lot more indecent if I knew I was being scored.

[imagomeandyou]

Indecent . . . ?

[charmdefensive]

I was having sex in public, but I still had most of my clothes on.

[imagomeandyou]

Is that really a crime? I thought sexual reproduction was common these days.

[charmdefensive]

See, you have the right idea. And now we're already in here, so what are they gonna do if we do it again~?
