Welcome to Dead

[You Are Dead.

Your last thoughts before the finishing blow may differ as well as if you had felt any pain or not. Let's be real, folks have been extra in the mansion so it's more than likely some crazy way to go. What can you do about that? But if you were thinking that death involves going to a place filled with fire and brimstone or a place filled with fluffy clouds and golden gates...sorry to disappoint.

When you wake up, the first thing you will notice is how cold you feel. Whatever you were wearing before, it will not protect you against the snow and wind. Nothing was taken from you but you cannot help but feel for some reason, it feels like your privacy was violated. But that's small potatoes compared to where you happen to wake up: a hole in the ground. Just a typical average sized human sized hole, no big deal.

Once you get out from your 'comfy' hole, you will see markers by each hole...best not to think about those and focus on finding shelter for now. You might want to be aware of that massive tornado that can be seen from your wake up points. Try NOT to leave by swimming into the water behind said points.

Better hurry.]

[ Wincing a little when watching Felicity knock out the girl, it took a second for Akko to clue in abut what the older woman was talking about. That was when the pain that'd been sidelined by adrenaline actually kicked in and she brought a hand up to her head with a small wince. ]

...Y-Yeah she did. I'll be fine though, promise!

[ She would have said more but stopped short when Eddie suddenly spoke up, causing her to jump a little. ]

I uh... a crazy girl showed up and we had to take her down. [ Akko is in a bit of pain with a headache forming so her next words come a little bit sarcastically. ] Sorry for waking you up.

[And this is a startled, barking laugh at this kind of greeting. Man, he was too busy avoiding Stewards to realize she got a profile on him, but he can roll with this]

Fucking rich coming from you, Cheetos McBabyslayer. You wanna desecrate this corpse too? Go ahead!

[He realizes Maka isn't dead. Details. But hey, he actually saw stuff happening? That's news.]

Hey, it's whatever, kid. Apparently you people know who I am. You'd think you'd have a better attitude showing up in my plane, then! Especially when outside, it's so cold and so unforgiving....

[ Okay the guy's attitude and name calling is really rude and getting on her nerves, even if those jabs were in reference to her. Something which didn't make sense in how he knew about them since she died after he did, but hey. Not in the mood to question that.

Akko fully rounded on him, irritation in full swing by this point. ]

Don't give me that! You're a nasty criminal who put snakes on this plane at some point but that doesn't make it your plane. Right now it's a broken plane in some weird place we don't know, and besides.

[ She points a finger at him a bit angrily now. ]

Your name isn't on the plane either so there's that too!

Uh huh. [He doesn't have anything to say to that childish logic. This is him not dignifying it with a response.]

Yyyyyeah, I think you mean it's an island you don't know. Doesn't seem like you know shit about anything, actually. What the hell they teach you brats at weapon school, anyway? Think you're so high and mighty when you don't even know basic fucking geography.

And this little psychopath is so annoying...

[He's gonna try to walk past them now to get to Maka. If they don't know what they want to do with the body, he's sure he can think of some good ideas!!]

[ Akko was halfway to snapping something back at him when one of the things clicked in her mind that sounded off to her. At least she's still thinking about that amidst his insults. ]

Weapon school? I went to a school for witches, not 'weapons'.

[ He seems like he knows more than he's letting on and that's kinda suspicious but also interesting too. ]

My knowledge of geography is just fine, thank you. I'm not even from here normally so why would I know where this is?

[ NOPE. Akko firmly plants herself in the aisle, eyes narrowed firmly. Not letting him just go to the girl. ]

I'm not letting you touch her. We don't even know what's wrong with her, even if she is really creepy. Not until you tell me if you have a good idea of how to deal with her that won't involve killing her or something awful.

[Eddie's eyes practically bug out of his skull when she says she went to witch school. The boldness of that! He almost respects it!]

Holy shit! You sure just came out with that! Is it cause I'm a gangster? Or just cause you're already as dead as you'll fuckin' be for outing that?

Obviously, I'm gonna kick this little shit out of my plane. And that won't kill her either. I doubt it'll even piss her off, she loves pain. Don't you sweetheart?

[he patronizes as he looks down at her pigtailed head against the floor, then back at Akko.]

Maybe you do too? Cause it's starting to look like you do, you know?

[He opens his mouth and in a flash of light it starts to fill with shark teeth.

And then his entire fist and forearm turn into something like this.]

[ The way his eyes widened just then is enough to say something was wrong with her having said that so proudly, but his reaction just has something nasty coiling up in the pit of her stomach. ]

What's wrong with saying I went to witch school? Before I showed up in that mansion, that's what I was doing, so why is saying that so bad? Did I miss something?

[ Also ouch. Thanks again for reconfirming she was indeed dead here, but not gonna focus on that. Instead trying to stand strong even as he speaks about the other girl. ]

So what if she loves pain? Even if you kick her out, she'd probably just come back anyway. Something's seriously wrong with her. Leaving her alone just doesn't seem smart...

[ Only just now focusing on what he'd said, her eyes widened noticeably as both the shark teeth appeared and the weird thing happened with his arm which had her freezing up a little. She could be brave but uh... there were limits to it, as was with her previous anger. ]

N-No... I don't... [ Goddamn it she's a bit afraid now. ] That doesn't mean it's okay to start pulling out things like that and threatening people...

[Hm... not that he feels any pity for her, but maybe there's another angle here that would be less bothersome for him in the long run. He stares at Akko, and then shrugs, and tones down all the weapon-ing.]

Man you're really sheltered... well, fine, I'll enlighten you then, since I'm always lookin' out for the kids. You know that God who rules the entire world? Shinigami? Well, his precious little kid soldiers at Shibusen... they kill witches, you know. Hunt them down and eat their souls. They go to school just to learn how to do that! Pretty fucked up, right?

Well, I am a weapon, but I don't give a shit about that. I actually had a pretty good business relationship with the witch community. My recent contact among them gave me all those snakes, since they're like, her animal.

Anyway, this girl is from that school! Still think it's worth keeping her around?

[Okay, Felicity was keeping herself busy for a little bit, mainly making sure this girl wasn’t escaping her restraints anytime soon. Basically just tightening them and improving them as much as she can. Atsuko can probably handle this guy, right?

Wrong, apparently, if she could tell anything from glancing their direction occasionally and overhearing some of the things they say. Not only is he threatening them too now, but he’s showing off...

...she’s not sure what’s worse, being dead, or seeing that that demented dolphin was right about beings that are able to turn into weapons. Either way, she needs to swallow that bitterness down and try to think smartly about the situation.]

If that’s even true-and that’s a hard if-it’s not exactly painting you and your friends in nice image, and it sounds like it’s better to trust a...witch like Atsuko more than a witch like your friends.

[The way she said witch the first time...not really in an insulting way, more that she’s still having trouble believing it.]

But, if you insist that you’re telling the truth, I’d like to test it, as it turns out that I was recently given the ability to tell if people are lying.

Are you willing to test it?

[She looks incredibly smug at that, as she holds out a hand-er, noodle...limb for him to hold. Will he risk it?]

[Eddie reaches for the noodle, before pausing.]

Damn you're weird. But fine! I'm a bad guy, but I don't lie.

[Taking it for real now. This is seriously like shaking hands with a pool noodle. He may be dead, but he's living]

That girl is with the school that hunts witches. And by the way, as far as I know they don't care if the witch is mean or nice, as long as they can take their soul.

[He's leaving out that witches really don't come in "nice" brand very often, but he's definitely not lying.]

[ Just when she thought Eddie would attack her, he seemed to back off a bit and some of the fear lessened from her expression somewhat. Even if she initially wanted to snap at him a little when he called her sheltered, Akko held her tongue.

So there was a God named Shinigami and there was a school called Shibusen. Easy enough to follow-- WAIT. Her mind came to a screeching halt when she processed exactly what he said. A school... meant to train kids to kill witches? ]

Why... would they go after witches and kill them?

[ Akko sounds genuinely distressed at that, almost whispering those words. The way he spoke of his contact, it didn't sound like a good one. Almost as bad as hearing that the crazy girl was from the school that hunted witches.

She was shaken from her thoughts hearing Felicity speak up, looking over to her and cracking a small, relieved smile briefly. It was enough that she just stepped aside and watched for a few moments. ]

I... If she stops being all creepy I'd actually like to ask her about that instead of kicking her out of here. Even if she comes from this school, I won't let her take my soul.

She's not gonna. She's been like that the entire time. I only know who she is cause that's a school uniform.

[And while they argue on what to do with her, said girl has finally woken up and she gets right back to giggling. But she is also bored too and these people seem to be too busy to play, therefore while they are distracted, she decides to wobble like a weird noodle and head out of the plane. Bye bye for now~!]

[oh there she goes. well he won't stop her since he wanted her off anyway.]

Later, bitch! Go jump into the tornado!

[ She just blinks a little in surprise before groaning a bit as it sunk in the other girl had left. At least until she rounded back on Eddie once more. ]

Hey! Can you at least tell me what's up with that stuff about you and us apparently being some kind of weapons?

[Okay, she was kind of stunned figuring that out. She was 100% sure that the dude was lying because, if Atsuko proved anything, witches didn't seem to be very mean at all. But, she can still spin this in a way she wants, as she tries to keep her grip on Eddie's arm.]

Yes, it would be nice to know what the meaning of that is, as well as a reason as to why we should really trust you, even if what you said was the truth. You haven't exactly got a lot in favor of us thinking well of you.

[People who put snakes on planes: Never Good People

And yes, creepy girl got away, but she probably won't be too much of a problem next time, so *shrug*]

Uh, I dunno, because I didn't maim your stupid faces yet when I obviously know how to use my weapon form and you don't?

Which, by the way, not off the table! You should really start kissing my ass more if you want anything else outta me. I don't WORK with people who piss me off.

[ There's a small second when her earlier anger threatens to rear it's ugly face again but she bites it back with a bit of restraint. ]

We're sorry for treating you with hostility, Mr. Kim. Emotions have been running high and dealing with that girl didn't help any. Can you please help us understand how this whole weird weapon thing works?

[ Her tone's a lot softer and more honestly complacent, trying to get on a different page with him in the hopes it wouldn't continue to make him upset with them. ]

[And that smug smile is back as Felicity finally lets go of Eddie’s arm. It seems that that wasn’t enough for her, but I wonder why?]

If that’s all you’ve got, then we might have to stop talking. Because I think I understand how that stuff works, Eddie.

[The way she says his name...so condescending, like she’s talking to a child-not helped at all by how childish his name does kind of sound.

Off to the side, in Atsuko’s direction:]

Watch and learn, dear.

[And with that, she claps her noodle hands and focuses on becoming a weapon.

Dolphin Man you had better be right here]

[The change comes very easily, particularly because Felicity already figured out what she was. She changes right away into... well, something kinda like this.

Better catch her so she doesn't fall, Akko!]

Edited 2019-05-14 19:00 (UTC)

[Meanwhile, Eddie Kim is cracking up with boisterous laughter.]

Fuckin' seriously? What are you supposed to do to me like that!? Weaaaak!

[ She was all for being nice to the guy if he could supply more information on this matter, but it was Felicity who got her attention and had her just blinking almost cluelessly before nodding.

Where the older woman had stood was suddenly some kinda machine that she had to hurriedly grab before it hit the ground. ]

M-Mrs. Parham?! How did you do that? Can you still hear me?

[ Then hurriedly she looks back up to Eddie with a small frown. ]

That's not helping anything, Mr.Kim! She wasn't doing this to threaten you so you don't have to laugh at her.

[She’s...more surprised than anything, so she doesn’t immediately respond. Just thinking about what just happened.]

I...really am a lie detector...

[That’s...less than what she was hoping for...

BUT! She can still work with this! Even if...it’s useless in a fight or anything. She focuses on being normal again before speaking.]

No matter. It proves my point. All you need to do to transform is to focus on becoming a weapon. Simple as that.

[don't lie Akko, Felicity would totally try to come at him if she'd been something offensive]

It's called a polygraph you know.

Anyway, kid, now that you know, you might as well see if you're any better than she is.

[He will encourage this so he knows what he's dealing with, but he's obviously not too scared knowing there's some unconventional weapons in the mix.]

[ There's just a moment where she blinks at Felicity once she's back being herself again, seeming to think over what was said for a moment or two. ]

If it's really that easy then I'll give it a shot!

[ Taking a small step back, Akko closed her eyes and focused on changing into a weapon. She could do this. ]
