Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

[ATTENTION IS OFF THE DOOR, turning towards the sound of "Fang's" voice]

Fa— . . . Agito? [glances at Ikki for a moment, then back] You don't know us?

That other eye. . . [staying v. close to Scowl and co]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

Don't know, don't care.

[He takes a step closer... in the half light, he looks almost exactly like Fang... his posture's a little off, the set of his face is harder, and the eyepatch is on the other side, but they could pass for twins. His hands are bruised and mildly bloody.]

There's someone I've got to get to, when that door opens. If you're in the way, I'm gonna care who you are even less.

[knows better than to take his attention off of Agito, but he does glance at the door briefly before looking back to the shark]

. . . are you trying to get to Akito?

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

This is seriously one of them? —Hey. If you're a part of Fang, we don't want to get in your way.

[gives Scowl a look like he's DUMB—I mean, like it should be obvious]

Ahh? You can't tell?

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I can tell! You're only being fucking obvious about it.

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[Looking between the two of them. What is this conversation even?] ... Probably. [Doesn't look entirely sure about this name thing either.]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[Then a calculating look at Scowl.]

You look fairly in the way at the moment. Got a reason I shouldn't just rip you apart right here? For all I know, you're the reason this is a fucking mess.

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . . [steps out of the way]

This place being a mess is the last thing I'd ever want. And it looks like you've been at this door for a while now. We can help you open it.

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[There IS a slight settling in posture at that. BUT.

... Are you challenging my ability?]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[Settles back and crosses his arms.] I'd like to see you do any better. It's not moving.

Re: Bottom of the Well

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[MEANWHILE: standing at the back is boring. Approaching the door while Agito and Scowl talk to investigate it, pressing a hand against it and shoving a bit to see how stuck it is, but not actually trying to push it open]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

[turns to step back over to the door and frowns]

Oi! First, what part of don't do shit without telling one of us did you not understand? Second, help me get that door open.

Re: Bottom of the Well

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[was that a twitch? turns to looks at Scowl]

I'm not even—[just. just sighs and steps back, holding up his hands] Fine, whatever. What's your plan?

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

We just gotta push it open enough to get through. If we're careful we won't break it more than it is now.

[plants his shoulder against it to shove and test how stuck it is]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[It gives a little with a shudder, but not nearly far enough.]

Hmph. Who cares if it breaks? It's in the way.

Re: Bottom of the Well

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[considers that, then the door, then shrugs and moves closer to the door again, putting his shoulder up against it to help with the shoving]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I care if it breaks.

[SHOVING!!]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

Tch, doesn't matter anyway. It's not going to give unless h-

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[The door shudders, then protests loudly as it swings inward. You can't make out anything beyond.]

OI!

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Yes!

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

[moves to take a step through it, then pauses and turns back to Agito] Do you want to go first?

Re: Bottom of the Well

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[just moves out of the way, so Agito can, if he wants to]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[... That's twice not as expected. Was totally going to kick your asses...] Fuck! Of course I do.

[Disappears into the doorway.]
