[ the crab gets flung off, so all she's got to concern herself with is king. she continues to thrash around and buck like it's going out of style, but instead of knocking him off all she manages to do is throw him over her head. she blinks, slashing at him in one quick motion just as he activates charm. ]

[ hopefully she's knocked him off, because the hss ability has her reeling in a mess of strange feels and she's not sure how she'd react if he were still attached to her. she stares at him, the gears of her monster brain turning. ]

[ he's hers.
and hurt.
but also hers.
but mostly hurt. ]

[ . . . ]

[ she needs to get something to show him that she's sorry, but also something to help with his wound. she makes a more somber sound at him, which CLEARLY means she'll BRB, and then she immediately bolts. ]

[ ... Ow.

Well, the slash is probably to be expected, as is the light and blood that immediately spills out and hits the sand.

Her running away, though? Yeah, that's not expected. That's the opposite of how Charm usually works!!

He curses under his breath -- presses one hand into the gashes on his shoulder -- and then immediately bolts for his parked bike. There's no way he's keeping up on foot. ]

[ #running. ]

[ there's got to be something around him for him.
like a present!
but also a bandage... ]

[ she could just lick him, but even her dumb animal brain thinks that's a bad idea and would make things worse. ]

[ He gets on the bike and guns it, trying to keep pace with her, but quickly realizes a few problems:

One, she can climb and jump and go over all kinds of terrain the bike can't.

Two, she's fast.

And three, it will be way, way too easy to lose sight of her and then lose the trail completely.

. . .

Texting and driving? You bet he is.

(Too bad he's getting blood all over his phone. Gross.) ]

[Hey King, hey.

There's a dragon shaped shadow looming over his bike right about now]

[ Oh thank gods.

He cranes his neck up when he notices the shadow, letting out a breath of relief.

And then just -- points at the giant monster he's attempting to trail. The giant monster with conspicuously familiar tentacles and markings.

YES, THAT OVER THERE, OFFICER. ]

[Blue Eyes was dropping altitude but when King points in the monster's direction, with a great beat of her wings she's rising up into the air and moving to intercept.

King will also notice that the needle on the speedometer of his bike starts creeping past what the laws of physics.

Don't crash. And also do what you need to do within the 10 minutes before that bike starts to melt.]

[ I'M DOING THE SPEED LIMIT, I SWEAR. ]

[ THIS TOTALLY WASN'T A HIT & RUN,
NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT. ]

[ she doesn't bother looking over her shoulder, but instead takes a sharp turn down the next street, and then another, because she's going to suddenly start backtracking. hopefully that'll throw starfish for a loop...]

[ but also who/what is this metal bird thing with the beanpole on top of it?! ]

[ ........ Why would you trust him with this. Please.

But okay, fine, this is good. His grip on the handlebars goes white-knuckled as he keeps the suddenly speeding bike steady, keeping a wary eye on D.Va's movements.

So of course she decides to make a sharp turn.

Fucking--

He swears again and swings the bike wide so that he can make the turn, tearing down the street after her. ]

[And up above, there is no way that Blue Eyes is going to fit in the narrow catacomb of Tokyo streets she's dodging through.

Which means Intensity is going to keep pacing her from up high, looking for an opportunity for when she darts out into the open again.]

[ she doesn't like this, but stopping to stand her ground against the ~~two~~ three of them doesn't seem like a battle she's going to be capable of winning. if she could barely knock king over, then how the hell is she going to fight his friends too? ]

[ is he mad at her for scratching him?
it had been an accident! ]

[ she screeches an apology at him. SHE'S SORRY KING! ]

[ ducking into one of the buildings she takes five to catch her breath. king is on a bike and beanpole is on a bird. neither of them should be able to get in here, but if they do, then... she'll just have to... plan b. ]

[ Okay, cool. She's ducked into a building.

...

How the FUCK does he stop this bike??

He just. Slams the brakes and PRAYS. ]

[It screeches to a halt. The brakes still work!

...

Good luck getting it started again though.

Blue Eyes lands on top of the building, perched on the roof ledge and pacing the perimeter, tail lashing as keeps an eye on all the exits.]

[ she doesn’t hear the bike noise anymore...
SEEMS SUSPICIOUS. ]

[ bristles a little, but turns toward a different exit and then rushes out of the building. she’s trying to make a break for it again, but she didn’t exactly catch her breath like she’d hoped and she’ll be out in the open now. ]

[ Scrambling off the bike by the time she bursts out of the building, and then freezes -- is he going to have to get back onto it??

(Good luck with that if so) ]

--D.Va, it's okay! Calm down!

[Yes.

Calm down so this dragon can swoop down and pick you up like an over-sized bird of prey.]

[ she looks back at king, about to stop, when she’s attacked by some horrible metal bird thing. she’s horse sized, but thankfully still weighs the same as d.va... how strange. ]

[ that doesn’t stop her from trying to wiggle free, getting dropped be damned. ]

..........

[ Okay yeah that also works.

Slumping against the bike a little as he watches. ]

[Blue Eyes' tail wraps around whatever is the torso of--- whatever you call this in an attempt to keep her from squirming away.

But just in case...

They drop close enough to the ground that she probably won't injure herself if she falls.

... Probably.]

D.Va. You're not going anywhere.

Edited 2020-04-03 04:38 (UTC)

[ she'll find a way,
probably. ]

[ she tries twisting around in blue-eyes grip so she can slash at her, though it's probably a wasted effort, since she's metal. doesn't stop her from trying though. meanwhile her tentacles all try shoving away from the bird thing as the beanpole barks about something. ]

[And like the slippery half-tentacle monster she is, she just oozes right out of Blue Eyes' grip as she pushes back against her.

... Seriously.

W T F?]

[ ...

w t f

Once she hits the ground again, King pushes off from the bike and approaches the ferocious, charmed blob monster. She seemed to react to him when he spoke to her that last time... right? Right?? ]

D.Va. Hey. Listen to me.

[ splats on the ground and makes some strangled noise as she gets back to her feet, about to take off again, when king addresses her. she looks back at him, and then to intensity, and then back to king. if she sticks around too long she's bound to get attacked by that thing again, but also... KING MIGHT GET ATTACKED BY THAT THING!!!!!!!11!1 ]

...

...

...

[ charges at king, her tentacles reaching out to pick him up and plonk him on his back as, without missing a beat, she keeps on running. see you later, intensity. it's time to head for the small park she's sure she saw while running around like a lunatic. she's got the perfect gift in mind for king. surely he'll accept her apology then... though fighting off the bird thing might also do the trick. ]

[Swears up a storm under his breath as he Blue Eyes picks up the chase.

Shouldn't have worried about her falling.

Should have just fucking sat on her.

Rookie mistakes, both of them.]

[ WELP.

Shouldn't keep trying to friendship speech the giant monster. We're all making mistakes tonight.

King cranes his neck around to confirm where Intensity is, then puts all his energy into not flying off her back as she runs for it. ]

Hey-- stop! You don't have to run, no one is trying to hurt you! We want to help!
