[I didn't need to bring them nu. They're always with us 🥺
Rosamund is excited to dance, and even more excited about her new best friends! They're very interesting, though they do speculate about what her blood tastes like in front of her. Something about floral notes?
She does her best to laugh it off and insist she'd probably poison them.
The conversation moves on though, and once she explains a bit of her past they are fascinated by her hunting background. They ask many questions, speak about how important it was in vampire history but no one does it any more.
Except this one underground hunter who sometimes deals out of the back room.
That piques her interest. They were here to scope the place out, weren't they? Perhaps she should investigate.
Rosamund lets them lead her to the back, trying to catch her companions' eyes on the way out. She can't see them though, and soon enough she's through a door and in a darkened hall.]
All right, so you said this guy was—MMMNHH!
[there's a hand on her mouth as she is slammed into a wall. The woman leaps for her neck, standing on tip toe to reach, while the more slender of the two men bites down on her outstretched wrist.
[I HANDLE PCS VERY BADLY APPARENTLY I AM LOST IN MY FCKING NOTIFS!!!!!
anyway eunhyuk converses with dimiano but he is not so into this conversation that he's not keeping an eye on things. he does not see rosamund disappear into the back with the orvs, but -- after another cursory look around -- he realizes that he cannot see her. which is strange, because she stands out in this night club of emo techno goth.
he slowly gets up from his seat, murmuring that he needs to make a call. and heads towards Sidon's direction, raising a hand to catch his gaze
[ all things considered, his seat at the bar is fun? it's fine. he listens to people complain about things like intrusive tourists and rich people and gets some offers at drinks if people can sample his wrist in return, which he politely declines for now.
but when he looks around, even a studied look into the dance floor doesn't give him a glimpse of rosamund. it's eunhyuk who gets his attention instead, extracted from the crowd and—gesturing him down?
unfortunately he canonically attracts groupies so i cannot deny this but he will excuse himself to meet up. ]
I've heard a few interesting things—are you done? Where is Rosamund?
The nasty bump to the back of her head had rattled her, as has the adrenaline spike after a surprise attack. Also having two grown, theoretically sane people suddenly latch onto you with their mouths is alarming in so many ways she had never had to consider.
It takes a second, but she feels a lick of rage.
Rosamund kicks out blindly. She meets nothing, but it gives her the leverage to wrest her uninjured arm free. She punches the woman in the ear, who detaches with a sharp cry. In the split second her mouth is free she shrieks at the top of her lungs.
Then the man grapples her again, knocking her head into the wall twice. Rosamund batters him as best as she can, but without her weapons, her spells, and her allies, what use is an eighteen year old girl against a fully grown man.
Well she can do one thing.
When he hefts her off her feet, she clumsily nails him in the balls with her knee.
[THE WAY ROSAMUND IS FIGHTING AND SIDON AND EUNHYUK ARE OUT HERE]
I don't know. I think she's --
[in trouble? maybe. in danger? possibly!
and then he hears. A SHRIEK? he immediately turns his head, but like techno goth is playing. luckily for them a slower ballad song is on, so the shriek cuts across the air, loud enough for anyone listening hard for something that might be wrong.
well.
HE STARTS MOVING IN THE DIRECTION WHERE HE CAN HEAR ROSAMUND i hope zora can hear better but i do want to assign superhuman to sidon]
[ he snaps his head to look in the direction of the scream—even with the brief lull of blaring music, it isn't an exact ping, but there is one door that's a little different from the others. because a person is standing outside of it like they might be keeping people out.
whether it's rosamund or not, they're close enough now to the door to hear a second, loud exclamation—a curse—and that's more than enough to act. he grabs the guard, large enough to get a good grip on his clothes and slam him to the ground with a rumble. the door cracks open as the man shouts in alarm and anger. ] Eunhyuk, go! I'll handle this one!
[By the time the boys make it to the scene, Rosamund has been caught in a frantic wrestling match with the small but remarkably feral woman. She's fending her off as best as she can bare-handed, but the injured man has his legs back under him. Furious, he snatches the a fistful of Rosamund's hair and hurls her to the floor.]
GAH!
[She crashes, down but not out, bleeding and kicking out like a dying bug.
The woman shouts, pointing at Eunhyuk as he enters the hall.]
[Eunhyuk barely lets the scene sink in before him, he just runs forward and aims low, slamming his shoulder into the injured man, using his body weight to send both of them straight to the floor.
This is where I reveal that Eunhyuk is not a fighter in any way that matters, but he has height advantage and this man is already stunned from being balls-kicked, so Eunhyuk does his best to keep him pinned, forcibly placing his hand on the man's face to keep his mouth against the floor --
except the woman is incredibly annoyed at the presence of another twink, so she aims a kick between Eunhyuk's shoulder blades. it's fine. hopefully sidon is not strugglign with yjh-expy]
[ why did kabby do this to our orvs. he is fighting yjh expy, who is skilled by at least caught by surprise—and sidon has the advantage of having very sharp teeth himself.
but the last thing he wants is a drawn-out fist fight. so instead of trying to beat the shit out of this guy, he does this: he uses his weight to tackle him through another door, sending him staggered back, shoes sliding against the sticky club floor.
and then he locks him in there, bye. ]
Rosamund! [ WALKS IN AS POOR EUNHYUK GETS KICKED but he'll help her up since the other two are suitably distracted, good job eunhyuk ]
[I HAD PERFECTLY FINE BLANK SLATE NPCS LINED UP AND THEN YAYWON CHUCKED DIMITRI IN THE POT AND YOU THREW IN RICHIE, WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO
The clatter and scuffle tells her she's got company before she even sees her crewmates. Rosamund rallies quick, already rolled onto her knees before a broad red hand (that will surely always be with us) hefts her to her feet.
Instinctively she touches her neck. She's still bleeding, but the loss hasn't drained her yet. Won't do so for a while, she's got time.
She doesn't hesitate. Rosamund snatches a framed collage of photographs off the wall and claps the woman over the head with it. Glass shatters and finally she drops to the ground.]
What is wrong with you all?! [Rosamund tosses the battered frame aside.] We could've just had a nice time dancing, and you had to make it weird! You're rude! You're all rude!
Eunhyuk is curled up a little from the force of her kick but at least there will be no more kicks...
unfortunately he still has kim dickja on the ground struggling, but since i rolled a 17 eunhyuk will not eat shit again, he just presses his knee against this poor man's back to keep him still, while he yells about how it's not wrong that they just wanted a taste and also why did she follow them to the back anyway??? it's the best place to jump people!!!
anyway eunhyuk will continue to sit here unless someone else wants to knock this kdj expy out]
[ yeah enjoy the last cameo by sidon's hand. anyway, he just scruffs the woman and leaves her in the hall, avoiding the glass as he tosses her out there. there's banging on the door from the other fellow, but he seems soundly trapped for now. rosamund is lively, though bleeding, which will have to do for now.
he'll walk over to help eunhyuk next, gently urging him to let up so he can get rid of dickja somewhere, scowling with all his own sharp teeth. ]
You won't be hunting here again.
[ —to his SWEET FRIENDS ): ] Look after each other, I'll get rid of these ones.
[ he'll go get rid of the trash somewhere so rosahyuk can kiss. ]
Anyway as much as she is consumed by her own fury, an angry Sidon is enough to snap her out of it. He was an impossibly formidable figure, but he radiated with such cheer that this turn is rather shocking. She finds herself admiring the ease with which he hurls the woman out of sight. Maybe even a little jealous.
It must be nice, she thinks briefly, to shake off anything that comes after you.
Men and monsters have no idea how easy they have it.
To that point, she peels the largest shard of glass from the floor, careful not to cut herself further, then takes Eunhyuk by the hand.]
This way!
[And with full confidence in spite of never seeing a floor plan, she'll jet them towards the back exit.]
Eunhyuk is helped to his feet by sweet Sidon and then whisked away by the peerless Rosamund and wow, this is really great team work guys, most of his missions end with someone getting (redacted). He will run hand in hand with Rosamund towards the exit, trusting that she knows where they're going, because surely the back exit door will lead to an exit???? imagine i trapped us here with more people from our muselists,
but no, the door swings open to reveal a burst of fresh strihira air, the darkness outside a strict contrast to the pulsing lights of the club. Eunhyuk knows that just because they're outside doesn't mean they're actually safe, so he'll proceed further away from the club with Rosamund. Not too far though, so that Sidon can come out after his snackie.
Finally, once they catch their breath, Eunhyuk will turn to Rosamund, catching sight of the bite on her wrist --]
Let me see.
[he will not take no for an answer!!! he will bring her arm up so he can inspect the bite more closely,]
[ getting back to this is the most hateful experience in my life
once he's done voring dokja, he'll come rendezvous with the two of them; what brief anger they've had the misfortune of seeing makes way for a rush of concern. ]
Anyway she won't fight him looking at her wrist, she'll just grimace and cup at her bleeding neck with her other hand. He's got the arm with the glass shard now, so she can't yet cut bandages out of her dress like she planned.
Sidon joins them soon after, which is a relief. He was clearly capable but no one was invincible. She wouldn't have liked to leave him too far behind.]
I'm fine, really! You don't have to worry. They didn't get me too badly. [She flinches. There's a wooziness settling in now, but she supposes that'll happen when someone drinks your blood.] I was more shocked than anything, I didn't expect them to — they said there might be a black market blood dealer in the back, and we came here to investigate, so I thought I should...
...Okay, I'm seeing it now. I'm seeing how obvious that was. I'm so sorry, you two. It was my mistake.
