[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.]
[ with great effort, aoi hauls herself to her hands and knees. and just stares at miyuki for a long moment. she wraps her arms around herself, trying to conceal how many stab wounds she has. no need for concern! ]
medb does manage to help endorsi get anaak off of her, but only just barely. she continues to smoke - all four of the remains do, sparking occasionally. the room is cold, and you are all in various stages of blood loss and trauma.]
[just dizzily drags herself over to the vent with her good arm and starts to try to get it open. hopefully it will not be my turn again before i get home from work
[ aoi opened up the vent earlier, so luckily sqx won't have to struggle too hard.
aoi will just try and follow along with what everyone else is doing. if no one forces her further in the back, though, she will head in right after sqx. she'd rather be towards the front in case that furby monster comes back. ]
[She's staggering over towards the vent as well, hand (the one with all her fingers intact) pressed against her side, which is now bleeding a little bit more heavily after being crushed by a robot for a few tag rounds. It's hoarse, due to the smoke, but:]
I can... go first again.
[Who knows if anyone hears that, though, given the hearing damage? It's a little bit hushed, too, so someone else is free to take their turn as line leader in this conga of death through the vents.]
[ Medb is trying very hard not to notice the pain that builds up after all that movement on top of all those injuries. ]
Whatever order is fine. I don't want to stick around in case the robots self-destruct.
[ She recognizes that there are probably better orders, considering how they're all suffering different levels of injuries, but she doesn't think they have too much time to fight this out.
A broken arm and concussed, multiple stab wounds, being crushed....
