[Katie sees Yushiro running towards the front of the house. He's getting away!] * Katie dashes after him. Run, Katie, run! [Yushiro heads out of the gate and starts down the street!] * Katie keeps running, hopefully gaining. She keeps her eyes and ears open for people and signs that the field's gone. [No people! But when she gets out of the gate, she does see Yushiro stop to pick up a trashcan lid, and face her.] * Katie *doesn't* stop, aiming to run straight into him and knock him over. Sure, she might hurt herself, but if she can pin him... 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 10. (DR2) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "You always hurt the ones you love. I love you very much." (SNARK. Ahem.) ( @_@ ) [Katie dashes in! She tackles Yushiro, and the two go tumbling through the puddle! But her plan doesn't quite work; Yushiro winds up on top with Katie in his grasp, not the other way around.] * Katie ends up wet, muddy, with scrapes from the road and probably loose gravel in her hair. She grits her teeth and glares up at Yushiro before hissing, "What did you do to her? You knew it was going to happen!" [Yushiro growls! "I tried to save you from her. I tried to save everyone from her! But nobody would understand what a danger she is! She can be with nobody except for me. Why do you think we moved?! Why do you think everyone hates her?! I tried to save you, too. But now, I want you dead!" And his hands wrap tightly around Katie's neck.] * Katie gasps and coughs, her scream cut off and her eyes beginning to tear. She musters her strength as best she can and attempts to push him off. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 4. [Katie reaches up and tries to push him off, but he shrugs out of her grip and keeps choking her.] * Katie tries to gasp for breath and finds it impossible. The wind around them becomes a fierce and angry gale as her eyes glaze, and she tries to force them into pushing him off for her. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 7. [Katie succeeds in pushing him down to the ground. He keeps a hold of her neck with one hand, but winces as he lands hard on his other, the one that's at the very least fractured.] ( Half choking damage ^^ ) (I have no idea how much choking damage this is. Am I blacking out yet?) ( Nah, you've got plenty of hp to go :P ) (Woot, I'm uber!) ( Although I guess you can say things are starting to get hazy ) * Katie takes a hiccupping breath. "" she manages to gasp out, in force if not volume. Her hands fly to the arm still choking her, and she tries to dig her nails in and make him let go. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 10. [Katie tries to scratch him, but her nails don't seem to do much good. He squeezes. "No. I am the only one for her. I am the only one who knows how to deal with her."] * Katie whimpers and gasps, "You... want... to control her." She lets her hands go lax, falling off his arm. One slips into her satchel. [He squeezes! "I'm the only one who can.] * Katie tears and tries to breathe, but she chokes instead. "Doesn't... need." With as little movement as possible, she pulls her knife by the hilt, slipping it from its wrapping. [Katie hears Kaede shout! Not that she can shout back] * Katie takes in as much air as she can before yanking the knife free and trying to plunge it into Yushiro's side. (Total Attack.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 7. [Yushiro continues to strangle Katie!] * Katie lets out a tear-choked whimper as her eyes completely glaze over, the wind somehow continuing to build around them, forming a funnel into the sky. Her fingers threaten to go lax, but she pulls the knife back and towards Yushiro in another, weaker attempt to gut him. (Same roll? TA again.) ( Yep ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 3. [Katie shoves a knife in his gut. His eyes go wide, and then his fingers go limp.] * Katie coughs, pushing him off of her. "I did say," she gasps, yanking her knife out and watching him for any signs of motion, "You first." [Yushiro raises his head long enough to say, "Humph. With six against one, it really would have been amazing if I'd lived." Then he dies.] [Just kidding, that doesn't happen.] [Kaede comes outside where he sees Katie sitting in a puddle next to Yushiro, who's lying in it. The puddle is rapidly turning red.] [End!]
