he gets hold of her arm, because she's too dazed from the impact to even think of dodging, and she makes a choked, pained noise as he wrenches her arm in the wrong way. pain lances through her, and she bites down hard on her lip to keep quiet, trying to yank herself free.
but he's always been physically stronger than her. and even this fake ming yi - well, he's probably just as strong.
muffling a gasp of pain, she glances briefly upwards, sees the tv rattling dangerously, and - since she can't get away, she slams the arm he doesn't have hold of into the wall, aiming to dislodge the television. maybe if it falls between them, he'll have to let her go.]
[ aoi ducks from the first swing, trying to avoid a full strength swing across the face. she's so exhausted that just ducking makes her stumble, makes her nearly lose her footing. there's no way to dodge the second hit.
aoi is knocked to the ground, definitely bruised and definitely bleeding. she staggers when she pulls herself back up and tries to - however weakly - grapple the chair leg from miyuki's hands. ]
[The way she sees her struggling to breath makes her hesitate again, but the way that Anaak successfully rakes her nails over her face is a wake up call, drawing blood from her cheek. She starts struggling more, trying to flip them over so the other girl is pressed against the floor instead and hold her there.]
[ming yi is pretty strong, for sure. which is why he just goes ahead and breaks her arm entirely, with a sickening snap. he doesn't stop there, though - he crawls closer, his jaw hanging horribly from his face like some sort of broken toy. sqx bangs the wall with her arm, and the tv rattles again, dangerous, almost like it's going to come off its hinge. if she hits it one more time, it might come down - if she can manage to do it, that is. because ming yi gets his hands around her neck, and starts to squeeze.
miyuki brings the chair leg up again to try and keep going - there's no finesse to it, she just seems to single-mindedly want to beat aoi to death with a chair leg. what she doesn't seem to be expecting is aoi to fight back. with a hiss, miyuki tries to wrestle the chair leg away, slapping and kicking and shrieking.
to the floor anaak goes - she doesn't seem like she's very strong. but she is wily, and she thrashes in endorsi's hold on the floor, trying to get free. endorsi can see from this angle that there's a glow coming from what might be the back of her neck? it's hard to see what is making the glow happen though.
medb brings an arm up to block, and he just really rips her arm to shreds, seeming to relish seeing blood. of course this means he's not expecting a knee to the dick, and like, that's pretty startling. he jolts, and then drops down to his knees with a confused sound.]
[the way her arm snaps sends another shock of pain through her, and this time, she's not able to keep from screaming; she tries, though, and it comes out in a horrible, choked out wheeze that grows in volume until she can't keep her lips pressed together anymore.
she does try to slam her other hand into the wall, but, like, the dice are rude. so we'll see how far that goes.
as ming yi gets his arms around her neck, she struggles, trying to squirm back, out of his grasp - but of course with the wall right behind her, there's no going anywhere.]
I'm sorry— [she chokes the words out.] I'm sorry, please, don't—
[ oh, dice are a good idea. aoi is the weakest bitch alive, and yet, if absolutely nothing else she is persistent.
she doesn't care if she gets slapped or kicked or scratched - her arms aren't coming off of that chair leg. she's doing her best to wrench it from miyuki's grip. if she could get it, maybe she could help one of the others... ]
[she hears shi qingxuan scream and nearly, nearly looks away from anaak's struggling form to see if she's alright - but she manages to keep her focus, trying to turn anaak over so she can see what's on the back of her neck. as she does that:]
Everyone - look at their necks! I think there's something there!
[ Medb can't help crying out in pain as her arm is ripped in shreds. She can tell some of the others aren't doing so well, and she needs to finish this.
With Endorsi's comment, she knows what she's going to do next. The moment Cu falls to his knees, she brings her hand that still holds the scissors up and slams it down where his neck meets his shoulder.
That's probably not what Endorsi meant, but Medb is vicious and vengeful. Cu Chulainn may have been her obsession in life, but that doesn't mean she didn't still kill him. ]
[sqx begs, but ming yi doesn't seem to be listening. he's mindless, lifting sqx and then slamming her against the wall to try and shut her up, only... there's a pause. she hits the wall, and his expression shifts, confused. his grip on her loosens, just a little.
aoi is doing her best - miyuki seems frustrated that she can't yank the chair leg away, so she just lets go of it and lets aoi have it. instead, she turns to snatch a pair of scissors off the conference table, practically yowling as she advances on aoi.
endorsi does a good job of turning a struggling and squealing anaak over - there's a button there, on the back of her neck. a bright blue press-in button. nasty black veins crawl out around said button, spiderwebbing horribly.
and hey, sure, maybe that's not what endorsi meant, but it's pretty effective. cu drops, and medb stabs him right in the neck. there's a sharp snap and a spark, and blood splashes up and into her face. it smells... synthetic. plastic-y. the scissors dig in, and the button on the back of his neck turns red, flashing in an alarm pattern. cu seizes, and drops like a stone, sparking and smoking.]
[ming yi's grip loosens, and frankly, shi qingxuan can't contemplate why. not with how her head is spinning from being slammed against the wall like that. her hands are on his, now, over his wrists, trying to loosen his hold on her neck. it's the confusion that gets him to actually loosen it just the slightest bit.
she wheezes, trying to breathe - and is vaguely aware of endorsi's warning. it's hard to hear right now (thanks, furby monster) and even harder to think (thanks, ming yi, for the probable concussion), but it's enough - their necks - to get her to abandon her futile efforts to make him let go of her neck. she reaches up for his neck, instead, missing the first time and then trying again. she can't quite get a grip on him, but she can grasp a little wildly, her fingers brushing against the back of his neck.]
I'm sorry...
[the words come out choked and pained, quiet, barely audible.]
[ unable to bring herself to actually use her new weapon, aoi glances around and tosses it towards sqx, letting it slide across the floor. not that sqx seems to be in any position to pick up a weapon, but aoi feels like she needs one more than the other two.
... aoi does not account for the scissors miyuki is wielding at her, now. those are more of a single-target weapon, so whatever she'll do will be fine. ]
She nearly pushes the button on her neck, but - she hesitates, bringing her hands away from the button. She'll need a minute more to convince herself, even as she tries to force herself to think about how this isn't really her. Besides that... Something about hearing Medb crying out like that makes her glance the other woman's way, turning towards her.]
[ getting splashed in the face with synthetic blood is the worst actually and it’s a good thing she wasn’t speaking at the time or else that’d be extra disgusting. her scream is more high-pitched than when her arm was getting torn up.
she watches cu go down and is about to reach down to touch him (because even now, there’s a part of her that will be drawn to him, even a fake) when endorsi calls her name. she snaps out of it, wiping as much blood as she can off her face with her uninjured arm.
she steps on the back of his neck where the button flashes red for extra measure, hoping that’s enough but isn’t waiting to find out. ]
Endorsi, focus on turning her off! Or whatever it does! Then help Aoi! I’m going to Qingxuan!
[ she dashes towards sqx, picking up the chair leg that got thrown aside as she goes. ]
[the confusion only lasts for a moment before he's trying to squeeze again, but it's enough. sqx takes advantage of the moment and reaches for the button that glows ominously on his neck. she misses the first time - her fingers brush against it and he jolts, trying to get away from her hands. he lets go of her throat and just, uh. grabs her by the face and rams her into the wall, temple first.
fortunately for her and unfortunately for britt, sqx rattles against the wall - which makes two things happen. first, the television falls. there's a loud crack as it smashes down into ming yi's face. he drops back, disoriented. second, medb comes up on the two of them with a chair leg, so there's a good chance that if the tv didn't take him down, she will.
aoi, on the other hand, stands and just... waits for miyuki to advance on her, which is unfortunate because that's all that miyuki wants to do. she hisses, and leaps forward to knock aoi to the ground, and starts just wildly stabbing. she's weirdly unsteady, so there are no killing blows, but those scissors sink into aoi's shoulder, her stomach, her side. someone please help this tiny knifeblock.
endorsi is also distracted, which is why anaak manages to get free, shrieking and throwing herself into endorsi hard enough to knock her back against the table. without waiting, anaak grabs endorsi's hand and just bites off two of her fingers.
at least cu is like, dead, or stepped on. he just sparks on the floor, eyes blank.]
sqx would be more useful if she hadn't just been slammed into the wall, temple-first. she's still struggling to catch her breath, but now she's dazed and disoriented, too; she drops like a sack of bricks when ming yi is smacked by the television, and she tries to raise her head.
her vision is blurred, but -]
Aoi...
[she gestures uselessly in the direction where aoi is being stabbed, then turns her head slightly toward medb]
She needs...
[she is actively being stabbed and ming yi has been brained by a television, please help aoi first]
[ aoi doesn't want to fight anyone - but she also doesn't want to get stabbed! she's doing her best to curl up, crossing her arms over her face to try and keep from being hurt too badly.
which doesn't actually help that much. she lets out a quiet scream for each stab, like she's trying not to make too much noise. trying not to make too much of a fuss.
[She gets knocked against the table, and that along with her heading damage blur out Medb’s words. She makes a noise of surprise, but the more notable noise is probably the scream of pain she gives as her fingers are bitten clean off.
...She still doesn’t want to do this, she’s furious that this place is making her do this even if it isn’t Anaak - but her free hand reaches towards the girl’s neck, trying to push the button.]
[ This is a nightmare. So much happens at once, and the screams make her run faster.
There are a few things she wants to do, but she knows she doesn't have the time to do all of them. She brings the chair leg down against the back of Ming Yi's neck and without looking to see if it worked, she hurls the chair leg at Miyuki to help get her off Aoi and sprints after it.
[ming yi shorts out, seizing up and turning off, hitting the floor with a heavy thud. he smokes slightly, eyes blank and staring up at sqx.
aoi continues to get stabbed! or stabbed at, anyway, because miyuki is still trying, but medb has a pretty good throwing arm. the chair leg goes flying, and it does in fact hit miyuki, bouncing off and hitting the table. miyuki shrieks again and falls to the side, dropping the scissors. thanks medb.
it's easy enough for endorsi to slap her hand against the back of annak's neck, grazing the button. anaak seizes, jittering and then collapsing on top of endorsi. she's surprisingly heavy.]
[she's, like, trying to force herself up into a sitting position. she puts her hand on the wall to steady herself - her head is still spinning. immediately, she regrets it, because that's her broken arm; she lets out a pained hiss and slumps over again.
...it's hard to watch something that looks so much like ming yi looking at her like that. she reaches down with her other hand in an attempt to close his eyes, then looks to medb, aoi, and miyuki with concern. ...medb's helping, that's good.
anaak drops, and she gasps as she vaguely makes out that she drops directly onto endorsi. hmm. well, she's going to try and drag herself in that general direction with her good arm - either to help endorsi or to try to help aoi if medb bails to help endorsi again]
[ all aoi can manage is to try and throw her arm out and knock the scissors farther away. she would love to try and press that button on miyuki's neck while miyuki is prone, but she's just been stabbed a lot.
so after knocking the scissors away she's just curling up and staying in this defensive position. fetal position nice and safe. ]
[Well, given the wound on her abdomen from the furby monster, something heavy dropping on top of her is pretty unpleasant! And as such, she makes another sharp noise of pain. She's trying to push Anaak off, but the, uh, missing fingers and wound in her shoulder make that a little bit more difficult.]
the scissors clatter across the floor and hit a wall, and miyuki turns on aoi, fists clenched like she will just punch to death, but that's about the point that medb reaches her. her foot connects directly with the button, and miyuki freezes like the others before dropping to her knees, and then to the floor. when she hits the floor, her head sort of... well, it comes off a bit, but it's connected by a bunch of wires. also there's a lot of blood just everywhere, pooling under her, splattered across the wall, it's just a mess.
endorsi is stuck under anaak still, unable to get up herself, which is unfortunate because anaak is starting to smoke. it comes out of her eyes and ears, like a malfunctioning animatronic.
all of their adversaries are now not functioning! it is silent in the room, save for the distant thudding sound towards the vents.]
