[ good, that makes it easier for a second swing at your jaw

with the same fist ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[that sure does connect. He stumbles back with a curse . . . and tugging you with him, because he still hasn't let go]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ yeah, well, he's grabbing your shoulders and yanking you back, smashing his forehead into your nose ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[curses again, a bit louder, the other hand coming up to grab his shirt, too - and not fighting back, just yet]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ what if he just does that again

and again

and again. ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[one . . . two . . . three . . .

On the fourth attempt he jerks his head back so Chrys misses, then shoves him back hard into the wall behind them]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[ back slams into the wall, breath gasping out--

---and he pushes back with a incohorent roar, shoving his entire weight at Raven to the floor ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[seeing as that he's much smaller than you, that isn't hard to manage. But he's strong, and if he's going down, so is Chrys]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[ that seems to be the plan on both sides, as he makes no effort to stay upright. Slamming Raven's head against the worn hardwood, letting go to drive yet more punches at his face, into his ribs, his gut, over and over and over, breath harsh and rapid ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[and Raven just . . . takes it, really, gasping and cursing here and there but not quite fighting back.

Though through all the abuse, his hands never let up their grip on his shirt]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ how about if this next blow actually smashes hard enough to crack a few ribs ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[hope you're prepared, then, when a fist connects with your jaw. He's only hit you with his full strength once or twice, but for someone as small as he is, he's no weakling]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ well not really

that staggers him, head jerking aside, and he stops, for a moment ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[it's quickly followed by another]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ that hits home too

SWINGS BACK AT YOURS ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[THAT HITS, and down he goes, wheezing and panting hard]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ good that lets me slam a knee on your gut and keep going at you with more ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[for only about a minute, though.

Remember that neat trick? Where the air explodes and you go flying?

Yeah. The wall missed you, bro]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ there's a solid crack of someone's skull greeting it, anyway

...gets to his feet moments after ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[he hasn't moved from where you left him, breathing heavy, the occasional wheeze here and there]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

...

[ it's quiet.

he looks at his metal hand, turning it over slowly. ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[there's probably some of Raven's blood on it, huh]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ yyyyup sure looks it

...

slumps back against the wall, fingers round a mechanical wrist, shoulders trembling ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[followthewind]

[coughs, slowly rolling on his side and spitting out some blood. Voice hoarse]

Done yet, y'pathetic excuse for a Cephean?
