They walk into the same balcony as before. Lilith is already chilling on the couch, but this time she has a fuckload of CHIPS and DIPS and ALCOHOL (for the 6 of you who aren't fighting this time around).
Lucille, Ari, and Blossom are sitting in the abandoned Sloth balcony (like a penthouse-style balcony). They've hung up a CHURCH OF THE RAINDROPS banner with a link to https://blueazalea.neocities.org/
Two familiar angels are sitting on either side of L1MB0. L1MB0 has a mischievous :) on their screen.
Satan, The Overseers, Legion, and Thrall are also there once again.
The arena seems... more riled up than last time! A LOT more riled up!
Luna and Spider hear their names, as do Harmonia and Claire. Cole hears his name the loudest, though. Tons of buff wolves screaming "GIVE US COLE! WE WANT COLE! GIVE US COLE! WE WANT COLE!" (The Crow is squawking along with the chant from Legion's balcony.)
The various groups of demons from yesterday are back, alongside some new ones.
It seems Lilith's stans have switched to supporting Luna and Spider... Hm... I wonder why ;)
The board with the remaining matches still hangs from the ceiling.
[CLAIRE, HARMONIA] - [MISCHIEF, FRANK A. GOON]
[LUNA, SPIDER] - [BELPHEGOR, LILITH]
[CERBERUS, ORPHEUS] - [ROE, DELTA]
[MELODY, ASPHODEL] - [BONE GOLEM #1 & #2]
[LUCILLE, KNIGHT] - [CARNELIAN, SAPPHIRE]
[BLOSSOM, ARIMIDEX] - [AZAZEL, RIVERS]
[COLE, ISAAC] - [URIEL, GABRIEL]
Cole is cackling at hearing his name.
Cerberus is staring at a bunch of Wrath demons. A sort of glare. "๏ผจ๐m๏ฝ... ๊ช๐ฝ๐ข๏ฝ ๐แบ ๐ด ๐๐ง๊ฐ ๐๐๐ ๐ึ ๐โ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ั."
Harmonia smiles at Lilith, sitting down next to Lilith and eating some chips. "Sup."
Isaac is a hint nervous.
Melody looks at the crowd nervously. "I think most people here wouldnโt mind murdering me."
โIf you do that I will get Satan to put you in the Chamber,โ Cole says to Cerberus.
Blossom is enjoying herself on her balcony, talking to Ari and dancing a bit.
"Do it. Do it. It would be FUNNY!!" Orpheus says with a chuckle. "Also owwww my spleennn auuuugghh."
Lilith gives Harmonia's hair a ruffle. "Hey, Harm, how're ya doin?"
"๐ ษ๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐นเงฆฮฝโ ๐ ๏ฝโ ๏ฝ๐ฐ๐ะต ั๐ค" Cerberus seems tempted to jump down. But also, Orpheus gets petted.
โNo, he loves me more!" Cole replies.
"เฅฆ๐ฎ ฯ๐๐จ๊ง???"
Ari's tail is large as fuck right now, trailing along a good amount of the Sloth balcony, and it thumps casually as it chats with Blossom in amusement.
"YEAH!" Cole exclaims.
"Doin good, I just woke up." Harmonia grins, liking the hair ruffle. Her tail is wagging beside her. "So, you're a fledgling?"
"Hmm?" Lilith asks.
"Limโs logs said you could be the prince if you wanted." Harmonia says.
Luna grabs some chips and various alcohol and chills with Lilith and the rest of [the kiss]. She's in her Sloth form.
"ะโฐ๐ด๐ ๐ฟ๊ญฑ๐๐โณ๏บโฒ', ๐ขสเน๐ โ ๐๐๐๏ผฃ๐!" Cerberus exclaims.
"FUCK YOU!" Cole yells.
Spider sighs and just sits down on the nearest sofa.
"Oh, yeah. I could." Lilith chuckles, blowing some smoke into her face. "Don't really feel like it, though~"
Goliath is watching Melody and Asphodel.
Lucille is wearing a short blue crop top with a smiley face on it, as well as black torn jeans with blue fishnets underneath. She's got on some sparkly blue lipstick, as well as eyeshadow. Black eyeliner. Her hair has more blue parts in it now, mostly at the ends of her hair.
She's wearing black combat boots as well. She's blowing kisses to the crowd, shaking her ass, and flaring her tentacles, which look different from last time! They appear white and iridescent.
Melody is just standing near Asphodel, looking at the crowd fearfully.
Asphodel's staring at Lucille, muttering something unintelligible under the respirator she's wearing.
Claire's standing next to Harmonia, staring into the crowd.
Cole looks so fucking ready to murder someone.
Melody notices Lucille and her heart drops. She grabs Asphodelโs hand.
Asphodel gently holds Melody's hand, continuing to stare at Lucille.
Gabriel, wearing his usual clean white suit, is sitting silently next to L1M, his usual calm smile is absent as he looks out upon the crowd, before his eyes land upon the kiss, holding his gaze for a moment before moving on.
Blossom is wearing a pink lolita dress, her makeup clearly done by Lucille. It's pink and pretty. She's wearing pink tennis shoes and her normal white wig.
Luna waves to Gabriel, realizing it's been months since she's seen him.
Cole is staring Gabriel in the eyes with a manic smile.
Isaac wears a tanktop.
Goliath chuckles and looks at the crowd, clearing his throat.
"๐๐๐๐๐ข, ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฆ! ๐ช๐๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ข ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ก๐. ๐ง๐ข๐๐๐ฌ, ๐ช๐'๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ ๐๐ก ๐ข๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐. ๐ ๐ก๐๐ช ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐จ๐๐ง, ๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ก ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก, ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐๐ก ๐ฅ.๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ก๐๐ช๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ง๐๐ฅ!"
Goliath collects his cash check of $4000 dollars from Rham for saying that message.
He picks up Asphodel and Melody.
Uriel seems as anxious as the last time they saw him. He looks around nervously.
Harmonia notices Gabriel and waves, doubting he would see.
Melody squeaks loudly.
Gabrielโs eyes return to [the kiss], and he simply nods at their acknowledgement.
"Woah there big guy, be easy with the ladies." Asphodel says.
Goliath shakes them like a soda can before placing them in the arena.
Rham pushes two of his BRAND NEW R.S PATENTED BONE GOLEMS:TM: into the arena! They hit the ground with a comical skeleton sound effect.
Asphodel fizzes.
Melody sits on the ground for the moment, her brain boggled.
Asphodel stares down the bone golems. Then she looks back up at Goliath. "I know I said to be easy but this?? This is nothing."
"๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ ๐น๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐, ๐๐๐ฝ๐ต๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น. ๐๐'๐ ๐ฎ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ป."
Rham clears his throat, pressing a button on a comically cartoony remote he holds in his hand.
The golems begin to pull themselves together. In a minute, 2 16' tall golems, a crocodile and a wolf respectively, stand tall in the arena. Their bodies seem to be entire skeletons held together inside thick tar produced from a special device lodged deep within their chests.
"RATTLE 'EM, BOYS!"
The golems stomp towards Melody and Asphodel.
"๐๐๐๐๐!"
Uriel stares at Cole and Isaac nervously, fiddling with his ring.
Asphodel takes a mace off the holster on her hip and swiftly tries to jump up and batter the croc's face.
Isaac sits down near Cole and watches.
Cole stares back at Uriel.
Melody gets up, backing up as she shoots a couple of arrows into the wolf golem.
The mace hits the Croc's face, but instead of doing any damage, it just gets stuck. The Crocodile grabs Asphodel. The tar is boiling hot. VERY hot.
The arrows hit the golem in various places but simply... get pushed out of the "wounds.
Rham cackles, projecting his voice. "SEE? My golems are RESILIENT! Able to shrug off blows like NOTHING!"
Uriel looks away with a gulp.
Asphodel attempts to wriggle out of the croc's grip.
Melody focuses, keeping her distance as she shoots a couple of arrows at its chest.
It's like trying to wriggle through heavy sludge. Asphodel is picked up.
Melody's arrows fly straight through the wolf's eyeholes instead of hitting his chest because the wolf LUNGES FOR HER.
Melody screams and tries to run out of the way.
Asphodel's body heats up in an attempt to thin the sludge and slip out.
"KILL THE CHILD! KILL THE CHILD!" Apollo chants with the crowd.
Isaac covers his eyes and grumbles with some worry.
Melody is grabbed just as the golem hits the ground, hot tar surrounds her.
The crocodile golem combusts from the heat.
"...Wow." Asphodel says, still stuck in the tar.
Melody screams in pain, crying. "I DONโT WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE-"
Asphodel wriggles violently, her heat continuing to grow.
Apollo is clapping and stomping to the beat of We Will Rock You with the rest of the audience.
"..แ๏ฝ โฝ โ ฝเน๐ฦ๐น ๐๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๏ฝโ๐๐ญ" Cerberus comments.
The wolf golem stands and walks over to the crocodile golem and smashes Melody and Asphodel together before letting go.
They fall to the ground, covered and immobilized within a heavy glob of room temperature tar.
The golems turn to the crowd and bow, falling to the ground as two piles of bones.
"SEE? SEE HOW EFFICIENTLY THEY WORK? MARVELOUS!" Rham cackles. "NOW THAT YOU'VE SEEN HOW WORTHWHILE MY PRODUCTS ARE..." He turns towards Goliath. "I FORFEIT! COME ON DOWN TO THE MERCH STANDS WHEN YA'VE GOT THE TIME!"
He cackles more and walks away.
"..."
"๐ช๐ผ๐."
"...what the fuck was the point of all of that???" Luna complains while munching.
Asphodel melts the tar away from herself and Melody. "So... we won by default"
Melody is sobbing.
"...Damnit, I want one," Apollo says before disappearing, then reappearing with popcorn, a novelty straw hat, a foam finger, and a bone golem. "Damn capitalism."
Lilith nudges Luna. "Corporate advertising."
Asphodel and Melody have their visions turn to static. They reappear on the Lust balcony, clear of tar (but not burns)
The bones are gone too. Satan has them now. He begins to munch.
"๐ช๐ฒ๐น๐น... ๐ก๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ง'๐ฆ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ... ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ฆ๐ข๐ข๐ก ๐๐ก๐ข๐จ๐๐! ๐ง๐๐๐.. ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ. ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ข๐ก'๐ง ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ฑ, ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ง?"
"Right."
Melody is glowing and crying. "I don't wanna fight again..."
Asphodel holds Melody.
Apollo is playing Rock Paper Scissors with the bone golem.
The Golem loses every time.
"Why do you keep using fucking ROCK??"
Melody heals and stops glowing but continues to sob.
The golem explains it is set to lose every time to boost its owner's ego, which can be changed in the settings.
"..." Apollo gnaws on the bone golem. "I hate you already."
It tastes like burnt flesh and bone marrow.
Goliath looks at Lucille. "You look like a scary lesbian. Am I allowed to pick you up or do you want to do a sickass stunt fall into the arena?"
Lucille smiles. She disappears in a cloud of blue, distorted smoke and pink fireworks. She appears in the arena in a burst of blue flame, burning away any debris from previous fights. All the lights go out and a spotlight that probably wasn't there before appears over the arena, coating it in a rotating pink and blue light.
Lucille takes a bow!
Ari is clapping wildly.
Blossom is screaming and clapping and shaking her ass and crying.
"Oh my god, the gays," Cerberus says.
"Simps, all of them." Luna comments.
Isaac is horrified.
Cole Genesone is still staring at Uriel.
47 members of the crowd (various species) pass out. Others scream for Lucille.
Carnelian and Sapphire, both in their usual outfits, fly down to the arena For the unaware:
Carnelian is a thin, 7' tall owl person. Their face is white and mask-like with a short beak. They have one set of pupil-less, glowing bright reddish-orange eyes.
Their feathers seem to be in a gradient. A fiery red at the tips into a more average orange for the rest of their body. They've got owl feet and legs, obviously, but their hands aren't winglike in the slightest. Instead, they're covered with the same sort of material as their legs with large talons to tip off their 4 fingers. The material which covers their hands and legs is black.
On their head, they've got a bronze crown bedazzled with carnelian. Their wings are fucking massive and, when resting, seem to appear like a cape. For an outfit, they've got a rather regal suit. A pleasant maroon. Quite a lot of bronze and carnelian jewelry on them.
Sapphire is feminine, 6'6 tall owl person. Their face is white and mask-like with a short beak. They have three sets of pupil-less, glowing bright blue eyes.
Their feathers seem to be in a gradient. A bright blue at the tips into a more average darker shade for the rest of their body. They've got owl feet and legs, obviously, but their hands aren't winglike in the slightest. Instead, they're covered with the same sort of material as their legs with large talons to tip off their 4 fingers. The material which covers their hands and legs is black.
On their head, they've got a gold crown bedazzled with Sapphire gemstones. Their wings are fucking massive and, when resting, wrap around them like a cloak. For an outfit, they've got a regal coat on, colored a nice navy blue. Quite a lot of gold jewelry.
Carnelian lands, bowing to Lucille. He wields a shining bronze scimitar. It has a carnelian pommel. "๐พ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ค๐๐ ๐จ, ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐! ๐๐๐ฃ๐ช ๐ค๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ฃ, ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐!"
Sapphire lands, NOT bowing to Lucille. She wields a golden spear, bedazzled with sapphire along the shaft. "I like your confidence! A good first impression."
"..."
Goliath looks around. Then, he looks down at Lucille. "๐๐ฒ๐, ๐๐๐น๐ ๐ด๐ถ๐ฟ๐น? ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ'๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ธ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ป๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ."
"I like your jewelry," Lucille looks at Sapphire. She looks up to Goliath, "I have no idea, honestly. I can fight alone, no worries," She cracks her knuckles.
"Oh, thank you! You're very beautiful as well." Sapphire replies.
Goliath chuckles. "๐๐ฒ๐. ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป! ๐๐๐๐๐!"
Lucille's tentacles come out of her back, lifting her into the air as she sends waves of distortion toward the Overseers. As it hits, they feel an intense need to cry.
Carnelian falls to his knees mid "Sending a slash of red flames" sword slash, sobbing violently.
Sapphire huffs, wiping her eyes. "Average day at work, then?" She chuckles, bursting into bright blue flames.
"Oooh, I like the blue!" Lucille moves a few meters to the left, her face splitting open both vertically and horizontally, needle teeth in each crevice. She picks up Carnelian with one of her tentacles and slams him to the ground.
Carnelian bursts into flames as he hits the ground and disappears.
Goliath is watching with wide eyes. "Wow."
Sapphire spins her spear around her before throwing it right at Lucille, what is essentially a huge wave of very hot fire.
It hits the base of one of her tentacles, getting embedded in it, but she tears it out with one of her other tentacles. A mass of oily blood spills out from the tentacle. Flammable. Lucille throws the spear into the crowd before lunging at Sapphire, attempting to impale her with one of her tentacles.
The spear disappears mid-air in a burst of flames, as does Sapphire right before the tentacle hits.
Sapphire reappears above Lucille, attempting to drive the spear through her back. The spear, as well as Sapphire, are still ablaze.
It goes right through her, but she uses one of her tentacles to wrap around Sapphire and squeezes her like a boa constrictor.
Sapphire squawks loudly, in obvious pain, and there are more than a few bones that snap, but the spear reappears in her hand and she attempts to sever the tentacle with a slash.
It works, spilling more oily blood (which catches aflame as it falls), but another tentacle wraps around Sapphire's neck and swings her down to the ground
As soon as Sapphire hits the ground, a massive geyser of flames erupts from the spot, filling the arena pit and shooting up through the crack in the ceiling.
And, when the flames die down...
Sapphire is gone. Some dead birds fall down into the arena.
"..."
"Wow."
After a long moment of stunned silence, the crowd begins clapping, then cheering, then howling and screaming.
"๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ป ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐, ๐๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ. ๐ช๐ผ๐. ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฑ, ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐. ๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ป."
Lucille takes a bow and returns to her normal form, teleporting up to the balcony. The spotlight disappears, and the normal lighting resumes.
The dead birds disappear.
Cerberus's tail thunks against the ground and the right head is eating a fuckton of chips and drinks. "โฒเฑฆฮค ๐๐ข๐, แผ๐๐."
Ari is clapping politely now, thumping his tail.
Isaac nervously stares at the pit.
Eurydice is currently munching on a bag of chips. Their entire muzzle is shoved into the bag.
Cole has shifted his manic unhinged stare to Gabriel.
Gabriel looks back at Cole, his face completely neutral.
Uriel gives an equally nervous stare to Isaac as Isaac gives to the pit.
Cole's manic smile grows as Gabriel looks back at him.
Gabrielโs expression turns to one of a polite smile, and he waves at Cole.
Cole waves excitedly at Gabriel, his tail is going insane.
Harmoniaโs hanging out with Lilith, a bit tipsy.
Cerberus is eating the fucking bottles.
Luna heads over to Cole and Isaac. "Have fun you two, you're gonna do amazing!"
Eurydice eats their bag of chips and then eats a bottle too.
Cole spins around to Luna with a massive manic grin. โI am going to fucking kill that flamboyant fucker.โ
"Wow, Cole Genesone hates the gays,โ Kade says.
โI AM the gays,โ Cole says.
Luna stares then smiles. "Break a leg out there."
Goliath chuckles. "Don't get ahead of yourself, Luna. One more match before them."
Arimidex and Blossom are PICKED UP.
Cole spins on his foot and returns to staring at Gabriel.
Blossom waves at Lucille as she's carried away. "Ari, you ready to fucking kill?"
Ari grins, twirling their bat around. "Oh, absssolutely I am. This one is going to be a blast."
Isaac sits with his face buried in his arms, whining nervously.
Luna returns to her seat, watching the next match.
They're placed down into the arena.
A white-furred bunny, 6' with a hunky frame, wearing a bartender's uniform, hops down into the arena. His glittering silver horns are long and point upward towards the ceiling and his ears are big and floppy. Around his neck, there's a necklace with a glowing pendant. It's tucked into his shirt.
He chuckles and cracks his knuckles.
"Hey, aren't you two the ones I saw in my bar? The cute ones with the blue gal and that green guy? Nice to see you again!"
Isaac peeks through his arms at the bunny.
Blossom giggles and nods. "You know it!" She looks like she'd be an easy win. Small with seemingly no muscle. How hard could it be?
Ari bounces his bat on his shoulder passively, looking the bunny up and down before smiling, his tongue flicking out of his tongue for just a moment, "You're cute too, aren't you? Didn't know you ran that bar, great place, by the way, I'll have to stop by again and buy a drink sometime soon." With that, he gives another grin before readying his bat.
A claymore is kicked into the arena, embedding into the ground with a loud clunk.
Azazel drops in shortly after, landing naturally on his feet, right beside the weapon as he grabs a hold of it, and rests it on his shoulders.
He's larger than the last time he was seen but still fairly recognizable.
A fluffy goat standing around 9ft, with silver to black gradience over his body, the black much more prominent along his arms and legs. His right arm carries glowing marks most akin to cracked stone or glass, the glow being turquoise. He has incredibly fluffy ears, and a lit candle atop his head, the fire much brighter than it was previously. His horns are larger as well, appear blacker, too, and the spiral swirls on them glow just as well as his arm. He has a short muzzle, sharp, visible fangs, and the eye that used to be faded thanks to a scar, now glows brighter than the other. Beforehand, he was more on the thinner side. Now? It wouldn't be a stretch to consider him a hunk.
"๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐."
"Oh, I'd love to have you by again! Feel free to bring some of your friends too." Rivers (the bunny) winks, snickering.
"๐ฅ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐. ๐ฌ'๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ด๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐? ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ผ! ๐๐๐๐๐!" Goliath orders.
As soon as the word fight is uttered, Ari springs out towards the bunny, swinging her bat towards his torso with a loud hiss.
Blossom grins, her eyes glowing pink as pink vines extend from her back and she grows to 7 feet tall. Her face remains but it looks... unnatural. Everything about her does. She grabs a vine and it comes off her back, changing shape into a staff. "Ooo~ Hello goat." She promptly shoots a vine at Azazel, attempting to grab him.
Azazel gives a hum in response, affirming his grasp on the claymore as he tries to slash at the vine, and get closer in proximity to Blossom in the same move.
"Rivers" grabs the bat and uses it to yank Ari closer, punching him right in the jaw. He's used to barfights.
The vine dodges as another attempts to wrap around one of his ankles.
There's nothing stopping her from doing so, but Azazel does give a grunt in response.
Ari's tail grows thicker, tightening slowly around the bunny's wrist. "Don't take my things."
Blossom gets off of Azazel and watches him.
As she does, he starts to lift up to his feet and immediately tilt in her direction, in the same beat, his hand raises and the claymore falls back into his grasp. With closer proximity, he aims to slash at Blossom.
A vine blocks it, getting cut in half as oily black blood bleeds from it. Blossom thwacks Azazel in the side of the head with her staff.
"Ouughhh im sorry ahaha." โRiversโ lets go of the bat and tries to get up.
Isaac closes his eyes and is mumbling praying to God that he doesn't die.
Uriel stares at him very confused.
L1MB0's screen flickers to a ;) and they shoot Isaac a thumbs up.
Azazel stumbles back with a huff before preparing his blade again
Ari grins and snatches the bat back up, before moving to bring it right back down onto โRiversโ as he tries to get up.
โRiversโ yanks on Ari's tail hard as he gets knocked back down.
Isaac winces at the tail yank.
Blossom grins and sends like 4 or 5 vines at Azazel, trying to capture him.
Azazel pushes his claymore into the ground and instead procures a lighter, a rather familiar one, and it spews flames at the vines rushing towards him.
The flames are bright green and extremely hot. When catching something on fire, they do NOT go out.
Blossom's eyes widen and she screams. It's ear piercing and probably makes some people's ears bleed in the audience. Her staff quickly changes into a sword and she severs the vines close to her back so the fire doesn't crawl to her. She screams again when she does this as the vines fall to the ground, that oily black blood seeping out of her back as she stumbles backward, focusing on Azazel. It feels hard to breathe, like there's something in his throat
Ari yelps and her tail becomes extremely thin as she pulls away from Rivers, hissing a bit before lunging again, attempting to dig her teeth into his arms.
Rivers rolls out of the way and gets up, taking a few steps away from Ari.
Azazel grits his teeth in the process as the feeling settles in his throat, also wincing faintly with the screams, but he puts the lighter away as he lifts his sword once more, trying to get closer.
Blossom runs at him, tackling him to the ground and clawing at his face savagely, clearly pissed off by the fire.
Azazel blocks it with his arm before she can get a good claw at his face, glowing wax dripping from the slashes as he pushes her off.
Blossom growls, immediately trying to claw at him again.
Azazel utilizes the lighter again, but this time, lightly. A slight flash of flames in her direction, but it doesn't catch onto her any. Afterward, he aims for another slash.
She screams once more and rushes Azazel, grabbing him by the throat.
Azazel gives a slight huff/gasp in response as his throat gets caught.
Blossom squeezes and mixed with her sickness, it cuts off any breathing.
Ari takes a few steps back as well, looking down at Rivers. Xeir eyes flare to life, as well as xeir choker. "Well hello there."
Rivers cracks his knuckles, looking Ari dead in the eye. "Got somethin' to say, Handsome?" He snickers and begins to casually circle Ari, hands in his pockets. He has a grin on his face.
Ari grins slyly back. "Oh don't be a flatter, you're just a ssssssstunning, rabbit. I like your flair."
"Hey, I know a diamond in the rough when I see one, snake. You've got a fair bit of flair yourself~!" Riversโ tone has quite a bit of infectious charm. His eyes don't swirl, there's no smoke, nothing. Just... his tone. That damned tone.
Azazel gags, the hand holding the sword losing grip on it, giving a dry gasp as it cuts out breathing. With the arm formerly holding the sword, he grasps Blossom's wrist, with his free hand, he opens the lighter.
Blossom, being so close, is literally immediately lit on fire COMPLETELY and it does NOT go out.
Blossom screams as her wig is set on fire, burning away to show melted plastic on top of spotty, short brown hair. Her breathing is ragged, hyperventilating.
Azazel gives a few dry coughs as he tries to lean on her, grasping and digging his claws into her wrist even further, just barely clinging on.
She lets go, too panicked as she screams wildly and clutches at her head.
Azazel lands on the ground, coughing up a storm and gasping for air, roughly.
Ari looks down at him, his tongue flicking out of his mouth in curiosity. He laughs a bit with the flex, "You know how to tempt a snake then, hm?" He's following River's movements, making sure their eyes are locked. His eyes pulse a bit. "Why don't you come a bit closer so I can get a better look?"
Isaac is curiously staring at Ari and Rivers.
Blossom is just screaming and crying and trying to cover her head with her hands.
Rivers walks over to Ari, giving a confident strut. "Ohhh, you wouldn't even know, Arimidex Heathrow." He chuckles, kneeling down in front of Ari. He lifts up their chin, staring them dead in the eye. "I've tempted the one who got you all wound up when you first came down here, after all~ I was locked away for a reason!"
His laugh... It's... Ari wants to hear it. They want to hear him talk more. There's just something... There. She can't describe it. All xey know is they want to hear it more.
"...That motherfucker's gonna make out with my boyfriend mid-fight..." Apollo says.
"..." Apollo pulls out a pair of binoculars.
Azazel is coughing up a storm, shakily trying to stand up again. The light fades from his glowing eye, still barely clinging on.
Blossom is still on fire and suffering! Everyone in the arena has difficulty breathing.
L1MB0 sighs and teleports into the arena, gently tapping Blossom on the back of the head to knock her out, and then teleports back to their seat.
Goliath gives them a confused look and L1MB0 gives a thumbs up in response.
Azazel is fucking OUT. The flames stop.
Ari looks up at Rivers and is suddenly looking down at Rivers. His tail extended to give him some leverage above the bunny. He grabs the bunny's wrist and lightly pulls his hand away. Just because he's tempting doesn't mean Ari's gonna collapse under the pressure. He pats the side of River's cheek. "Oh, you're cute. Azzy over in Lust had a catch, then. You're a zealous one. Hard to crack." He leans in to whisper in River's ear. "Makes things fun for me."
"Zeal, hmm?" Rivers chuckles, standing. "That's an interesting word. We love a cutie who's got a good vocabulary~" He's obviously teasing. "But, c'monโฆ Give it a try~! I'm a tough nut to crack, as you said yourself."
Azazel remains on the ground while the lusty ones are at it.
Cerberus is watching the festivities intensely. "แปเน๐แง๐๏ฝ๐ ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๏ฝ๐ ๐๐พ๏ฝเฉฆ๐๐."
Cole is glancing at the pit occasionally while still trying to stare at Gabriel.
Ari's tail begins to wrap around the bunny, laughing coyly, "See? You're already asking for it and all I had to do was offer. Do I have that much of an effect on you?"
Rivers lets it, chuckling. "Oh? you're the one with an effect on me? I won't confirm or deny, snake~ Maybe we're both in each other's heads... After all, who could resist either of us?"
Goliath is staring at them with the most bored expression on his face. Ever.
The Audience, on the other hand......................................
Ari glances at the audience before back at Rivers. "Mmm, you're in my head, then? Fun... but I'd rather not lose at my own game. Maybe we pick this up on our own time, hm?" Ari gives Rivers a kiss on the cheek before FLINGING them across the ring.
CERBERUS IS WOOFING AND BARKING.
Harmonia is whistling.
Cole starts fucking howling.
Cerberus HOWLS WITH HIM.
Luna is just typing notes silently on the fights.
Isaac is hiding his face in his arms, knowing he going to die.
Asphodel's watching Blossom, mostly, holding Melody close.
Rivers hits the stone wall of the arena and leaves a dent.
But...
He gets up. And dusts himself off. Unharmed.
"You know what?" He picks up Azazel effortlessly, hefting him older his shoulder. He walks over to Ari. "Sure, snake. Talk to you soon~" He takes a card out of his pocket and passes it to her. Then, he disappears.
"..."
Goliath sighs, facepalming. "๐๐น๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐, ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ด๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ณ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ด๐ฎ๐. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐? ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐น? ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป. ๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐'๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ, ๐๐ฎ ๐ณ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ. ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ."
Blossom and Ari disappear and reappear on the balcony next to Lucille.
THE COLE FANS ARE GOING FUCKING RABID. SOME OF THEM ARE FROTHING AT THE MOUTH.
Uriel sighs and stands up, turning to Gabriel. "Are you... Sure this is a good idea, Gabriel? I mean.. Come on. I'm sure that Cole fellow is as ready to beat you into the ground as you are to him but.
"..."
"That Crocodile. The one in the tanktop? He's so nervous. I can tell. He's been praying for his life! I don't know if I can fight in good conscious."
Gabriel glances at Isaac. He gives a slight frown and sighs.
"Then convince him to forfeit, if you don't want to fight this round, there's no rule saying you have to knock them out to win. I'm sure you aren't blind enough to have missed the degeneracy of the last match."
Ari is more than proud of himself, twirling the card in his hand.
Cerberus makes direct eye contact with Ari.
Cole is shaking like a v8 engine.
Ari looks directly back, before staring at Apollo, blowing a kiss.
Isaac nervously stands and gulps.
Lucille wraps her tentacles around Blossom, holding her up and placing her on a bench before healing her.
"Degeneracy??" Uriel huffs, fidgeting with his ring. "Don't be like that, alright? We aren't in Purgatory. That kind of talk won't be tolerated. Lookโฆ. Hurt that Wrath demon as much as you want, leave the nervous one for me. If he gets the upper hand on you? So be it."
"..." He huffs. "I'll fight in the next round, if we win."
Cerberus glances back at Isaac with a grin. "๐๐๐ฑ๐ฌ ๊๐ค๐ต๐๐๐~!"
Cole is growling like a revving engine with a wide manic grin. "I'm going to fucking kill that angel."
"I'm going to get killed by a fucking angel..." Isaac says.
Gabriel sighs. "Well I don't much fancy being in Hell as it is... but fair enough."
Goliath picks Isaac and Cole up, placing them down in the arena.
Uriel gives one last nervous glance to Isaac before vaulting over the railing and flying down to the pit.
This is the first time they've seen his wings and they're... really pretty, actually. Huh. Wonder why he hides them under a cloak. At the top, theyโre a shining gold that glitters in the light almost as if it's made of the metal itself. Towards the middle, a pleasant firey orange, like a setting sun. And at the tips, a deep, burning red. It wouldn't be a stretch to say they remind you of a phoenix.
Isaac is shaking and stays still.
Luna fuckin yells from the stands: "YOU GOT THIS ISAAC AND COLE, HAVE FUN OUT THERE!!"
Gabriel follows suit, his pristine, yet fairly average in comparison to Uriel's fan out as he floats to the ground, the feathers a blinding, clean white. On the tips of the wings hold a slight touch of golden jewelry, a small chain. He folds his hands behind his back, looking over Cole, smiling calmly. "Hello, it's been quite a while, Cole. I do hope we can fight on good terms."
Now that the angels are gone, Spider disappears. She reappears next to L1MB0 in a flash of green distortion.
Uriel lands in the arena with a huff. "Good luck."
L1M looks to Spider. "Hi :)"
Cole looks so incredibly manic as he giggles maniacally. โMaybe. I do wonder how someone as angelic as you made your way down to Wrath of all places without dying or something. Cole shrugs and stretches a little
Spider waves at L1MB0. "Hey."
Uriel shoves his wings back under his cloak, staring at Isaac. Not like.. meanacingly. Just staring.
"๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐? ๐ข๐ธ. ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ!"
Isaac takes a step slightly behind Cole
Gabriel nods. "Well, anyone could sign up. I suppose this means we should begin, though."
He holds out his hand, and a long, graceful sword appears in his hand, it was clearly hand-crafted for him.
Cole rolls his eyes as he mutters. โFucking fancy assholes.โ He draws his marked sword and aims it at him. โYour move.โ
Isaac looks at everyone.
Cerberus looks at Orpheus. "๐๐พ๐ m๐พโฒฅ๏ฝ โ พ๐ แปฟ๐ส ๐๐ ๐ฑ ๐๐ฐ๐ษ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐ด ๐๐ซิะต๐ฟ ฮฑ ๐๐ฒีผ๊ญ๐ฅ๐."
Gabriel pushes forward, his wings lifting him an inch above the ground and providing extra speed as he moves to slash across Cole's body, keeping eye contact with Cole.
Cole blocks it with his sword and attempts to shove his sword up and slash his chest, His bone wings unfurl from his jacket.
Isaac takes several steps back.
Uriel watches, unsure of what to do.
Gabriel moves back a step, flapping his wings and floating up, over, and behind Cole quickly, lunging his blade towards the base of his bone wings. "Hm. Those are new since we last spoke."
Isaac backs up more and hits his back on the wall of the pit. He's just trying to stay out of the way.
Uriel scoots toward him.
Cole flaps his wings moving him out of the way as he hits the ground and rolls and raises his sword in defense. โYeah, and I would presume me being a demon would also be a lil wacky."
Isaac's eyes snap over at Uriel and watch him like a hawk.
Uriel scoots towards him closer. He has NO weapons.
Isaac moves as if trying to scoot further away but canโt because he's already backed into the wall. He turns around and tries to claw at the wall to get out of the pit with no luck.
Gabriel nods as a rumbling in the ground grows below Cole's feet. "It seems like Harmonia's peculiarities have spread to a large amount of your group, curiously."
Uriel picks Isaac up. "shhhhhimgonnakeepyousafebecausethey'reprobablygoingtogetreallyviolent soon."
Cole's wings flap as he raises about the ground and dive bombs toward Gabriel while slashing wildly. โProblem?"
Isaac squirms in fear and goes to kick Uriel in the face.
A cut lands on Gabriel's shoulder, ripping his suit before Cole feels something on his ankle and he's tugged away from the air. It's an extremely thorny vine that burst up from the ground and moving to try and pull him to its origin. He looks to his suit, now soaking some blood and sighs. He slashes sharply at Cole's arm on the ground. "I wouldn't say a problem, more that I'm curious."
Uriel sighs, muttering under his breath. "Couple decades and he hasn't learned a thing.."
"HA, I FUCKED UP YOUR SUUUUIT, also curious about what?" Cole's arm is cut as he yelps quietly as he is dragged he slashes at the vine.
Isaac keeps thrashing around trying to hit Urielโs face. Uriel is kicked. "OWGH??"
The vines are cut fairly easily, but they leak some juices that begin to run up Cole's leg.
"How it happened, or if you all chose such a fate by your own accord," Gabriel replies. He's tossing something in his hand as he watches Cole on the ground, some sort of glowing bottle.
โWell you see, Satan up there-โ Cole is not worried about the juices as he stands up. โHe did that to me. Also neat bottle.โ Cole flicks his paw as the bottle is attempted to be flung from Gabriel's hand into Cole's.
Isaac bites Urielโs entire head.
"AUGH?!????" Says the angel.
"แ'โฒแโฒ โ ๐จ๐๐ ๏ผฅ ๐ธ ๐ตโฟ๐จ ๐ะพโ ๐ีโ๐โฒ๐๏ผง ๐๐แ๏ผข๐ฐ" Cerberus yells off the fucking balcony.
Uriel tries to yank Isaac off. His mouth is beginning to fill with rather... SPICY blood. Like HOT blood. It's liquid fire it's literally like fire oww oww that's owww.
Isaac's eyes widen as he lets go and kicks Uriel in the chest to get free.
Uriel falls back to the ground and clutches his bleeding head.
Isaac spits out the blood the best he can and scrambles up to his feet. He searches his pockets frantically for any kind of weapon.
Uriel gets onto his knees, struggling to stand.
The bottle flies from Gabriel's hand easily, landing in Cole's mitts. He looks over a bit surprised, then smirks. His blade flies toward it, attempting to shatter the bottle with the blur that is his blade.
Isaac pulls out his pocket spoon and looks at it before he looks at Uriel.
Uriel is a bit disoriented. He's facing the ground, away from Isaac.
Cole turns his back to Gabriel as the sword slams against his back. Cole groans angrily as his bone wings crack slightly. He whips back around and throws the bottle at Gabriel.
Isaac tosses the spoon up and catches it so he's holding the spoon side and runs at Uriel, raising the spoon and stabbing Uriel in the back.
Gabriel moves to dodge, not quite dodging the bottle. He breathes out a quick sigh before he brings his blade up, the bottle hitting it. It explodes into flames, running down the blade and creeping towards the hilt, before stopping. He swings the blade for the brief moment it holds the flame before extinguishing. It's blisteringly hot. Like the flame of a long-standing forge in a single, concentrated burst.
Back on Urielโs side, in a second, LITERALLY a second, there's a flash of light and it's kinda like an annoying flashbang. But it's only for a split second. Isaac is sent backward by a forceful kick to the stomach, his "strike" having been deflected.
Uriel is on his feet, hunched over. His head is covered in a LOT of goldeny bronzey blood thanks to Isaac's bite. His left hand is covering his face, eyes shut. In his right hand, he holds a claymore which seems to be made entirely of a firey bright light. A sunset color. His wings are spread out once again, tips slightly smoldering with hot, normal flames. The ring he was fiddling with for so long is gone.
He stumbles back a bit, "looking" around frantically. "..So much for playing Nice."
"...." Cole stands still for a second as his eyes readjust and then looks pissed. "YOU WERE GONNA USE FUCKING NAPALM?" Cole charges at Gabriel and angrily swings at his calves.
Isaac tumbles some as the spoon is flung in the air and hits the wall. Isaac blinks some and looks over at Uriel before scrambling to get up.
Uriel backs up against the wall, breathing calmly. His sword is held by his side. He "stares" in the direction of Isaac.
Gabriel scoffs and flies up into the air out of Cole's reach before dropping back down, vines sprouting from the ground to grab onto Cole. "Your mind is so human-centered as if napalm is the only way to capture flame in a bottle."
Isaac runs to get the spoon.
Cole slashes at the vines and growls. โWell, maybe I have experience with napalm, you ever fucking thought about that?" Cole slashes at Gabriel's wings.
Isaac can get the spoon. Uriel makes no movements towards him, just tracking his movement.
Isaac readies the spoon and chucks it at Uriel with little to no aim.
Uriel, with very sudden and sharp movements, deflects the shittily aimed spoon with his sword. It flies right past Isaac's head and gets embedded in the stone wall.
Isaac jumps to the side away from it and stares at it with wide eyes.
The hit lands as Gabriel moves out of the way, cutting his wings. He winces in pain, but no blood spills out. As he does he pulls out another glass bottle and tosses it toward Cole's legs.
"I suppose you need more experiences, then."
Cole flaps his wings as he glides to one side to dodge the bottle then flaps them again as he charges forward and slashes at the same wing again. โMmm, no thanks."
Uriel is just staring in Isaac's direction. His eyes are still closed and colored.
Isaac runs at Uriel, aiming for a punch in the face.
Gabriel's wing folds in, and he sidesteps Cole and takes a slash at the back of Cole's knee, vines springing up to hold him there.
Cole's knee is slashed as he growls and winces as he is held in place. โFucker! I'll fucking kill you!"
Uriel moves out of the way last minute and slams Isaac down against the ground with his elbow, putting a foot on his back and pointing his sword at Isaac's neck.
Isaac squirms, trying to get free.
Isaac gets his head pushed into the ground and more weight is put on his back. "Stop moving. Surrender for the sake of your body and mind."
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!โ Isaac squeals and thrashes around harder.
More vines sprout up as Gabriel takes another slash towards the other leg. "Now now, it's only friendly competition."
Uriel huffs and pushes his face against the dirt harder. "Stop or you WILL die."
Isaac stops and is breathing quickly.
Cole's leg is slashed as he groans and winces again. Cole slashes at the vines and tries to grab Gabriel and throw them into Uriel. "FUCK YOU!โ
The vines again are cut easily, more liquid running up his leg. He's tossed, but a large beat of his wings stops him. He's slightly off center with his injured wing, having to take a moment to steady himself. "No need to be vulgar."
Cole sprints towards Gabriel and slashes at his other wing, still not concerned about the fluid. โYou cut me, dickhead!"
"Good." Uriel stands, putting less pressure on Isaac. He sighs, breathing heavily. "Good..."
Gabriel parries and takes a few steps back to recover. "As if you aren't holding a blade yourself."
Isaac tries to roll with a lot of force in one direction.
Isaac is allowed to roll, but Uriel's claymore is plunged into the ground. Inches from Isaac's neck. So hard it causes cracks.
"Isaac."
Cole growls. โYour acting like I won't just kill you." He combat rolls and aims a slash at Gabriel's neck.
Isaac's eyes widen as he's face to face with the blade and rolls the other way as fast as he can.
Isaac's neck is grabbed. Uriel stares down at him, eyes obscured by hair and blood. "Do you have a death wish, Crocodile?"
Isaac's neck is nothing but pure muscle for his jaws as he thrashes around
Uriel tries to hold him down as best he can. He's pretty damned strong but Isaac is a crocodile who can death roll.
Isaac uses all of his force to get free and instantly latches onto Urielโs arm.
Gabriel leaps back, close to Uriel to avoid Cole.
Uriel's arm immediately catches on fire. Very hot fire. Like "My face will melt off if I stay near this for another second" hot fire. It goes out immediately, but the warning is still there.
Uriel doesn't say another word. He doesn't react. He doesn't scream. Isaac is fucked.
Isaac lets go with a screech.
Cole stays where he is. โLo-" He snaps to staring at Isaac. โYou good?"
Uriel pushes Isaac away very forcefully. and quickly gets up, clutching his bloody arm. He is currently weaponless, claymore lodged into the ground just out of arm's reach.
"IF I BITE IT BURNS I'M GOING TO DIE!โ Isaac yells back as he scrambles up again and runs to the spoon in the wall.
The spoon (-2 HP) is still in the wall.
Also, Gabriel steps close. Uriel tenses up, taking a deep breath.
Gabriel looks back at Uriel before moving parallel to Cole, away from Uriel. "Duly noted." He simply eyes Cole, pulling out a handkerchief and wiping the blood from his blade.
Uriel relaxes with a sigh, stepping closer to his claymore and yanking it out of the ground.
Isaac is struggling to get the spoon out of the wall "Comeoncomeoncomeonnnn-"
It is unstucked.
Cole sheathes his sword and checks a watch fob inside of his jacket and sighs. โWell would you look at the time, it's high noon,โ Cole smirks as he draws his revolver and fan hammers it, firing at least three rounds at Gabriel.
Goliath sits up. "WHAT THE FUCK DUDE THAT'S NOT actually I'll allow it this once this match has been so interesting."
The fans are screaming and crying and grabbing their ears, OTHERS are CHEERING (mostly wrath demons).
Cerberus is booing.
Luna is cheering.
Satan throws a femur at Mach 5 at Cerberus.
Gabriel is hit with two down his left arm. He scowls, narrowing his eyes and taking a few steps back. "I wasn't aware I would be taking part in a rigged match."
Cerberus catches it and is satisfied.
Cole spins his revolver and chuckles as he holsters it in his jacket
"Lmao, when it comes to using shitty magic napalm, I always cheat.โ
Isaac flinches at the gunfire and instinctually drops to the ground.
Satan crosses his legs and arms, sitting back with a huff.
Uriel grips his claymore tighter in response to the gunfire.
L1MB0 disappears and reappears, hovering midair and talking with Goliath.
The gun wounds quickly heal, the bullets clinking to the ground. Cole's shoes feel... wet. Looking down, water is seeping through the cracks made by the vines, crawling their way up Cole's leg. The rest of the liquid from the prior vines have reached Cole's neck. They begin form strange.. liquid needles, before hardening into ice and shoving them into Cole's collar bone and neck, not sharp enough to kill, but enough to cause serious pain with head movements.
Isaac is curled up on the floor with the spoon hiding with his eyes shut.
Cole drops his sword and with a blood-curdling scream, lunges at Gabriel's face with his jaw wide open.
"ALRIGHT, FIGHT'S OVER."
Cole is picked up midair.
Cole is flailing and growling as he is picked up.
Gabriel looks incredibly displeased, his other wounds healing up as he ruffles his wings.
"Upon.." Goliath GLARES at L1MB0. "CLOSE consideration. We've decided to count this fight as a draw due to unfair play on the part of Cole Garnet."
BOOOOOO!!!
"BUT! Since we only have 7 WINNERS because of my SHIT PLANNINGโฆ BOTH TEAMS participating in this match will be moving on to the NEXT ROUND TOMORROW! SO, CONGRATS. YOUR FAVORITE WOLFBOY GENESONE ISN'T DISQUALIFIED DUE TO SHIT PLANNING. I'M SURE YOU'RE SO HAPPY."
WOOOO!!!!
"Oooof course." Goliath sighs.
Gabriel scoffs.
Isaac peeks up "Huh??? What happening? Did I die yet?"
"Of course, he gets special treatment," Luna grumbles from the stands.
Cole is still growling and flailing, trying to bite Gabriel despite being picked up.
Spider growls to herself, one of her ears flicking.
"Horseshit. I'll kill the fucker myself if I have to." Apollo grumbled.
Uriel sighs, rolling his shoulders and trying to relax. His wings retract underneath his cloak.
He tosses his sword up unto the air and catches it in his hand, in the form of a ring, which he puts back on his finger. He wipes the hair out of his eyes and the blood from his face.
"Gabriel..." He walks over to his fellow angel. "I'll fight without hesitation tomorrow, alright? My worry was unwarranted."
Cole and Isaac are returned to their place on the Lust balcony. The Angels go back to the Limbo balcony.
"Shows over, folks. See you tomorrow."
People begin to leave. Some are disappointed and some are excited.
Harmonia is grumbling and not in the best mood.
Cole sits on the floor with his arms crossed, still growling and snarling.
Isaac slowly gets up, still a bit nervous.
L1MB0 appears next to Cole, thwapping him gently with a rolled-up newspaper. "Bad. Bad dog. No guns."
Claire's smiling and downloading lots of easy puzzles for kids.
"Hey, guys? Wanna go check out what merch they're selling?" Luna asks.
Cole snarls and bites at L1MB0โs newspaper.
Gabriel nods toward Uriel. "It was a mistake to think this tournament would be well balanced."
Cerberus's right head is looking at Isaac. But the left head turns to look at Luna. "Bring me some back."
Eurydice fucking fell asleep, actually.
Lilith ALSO fell asleep, actually.
Lucille can be seen crawling towards the merch stands.
Spider disappears, reappearing next to Luna. "I'm down.โ
"Ya got it." Luna is glad to have brought her wallet along. "Anyone wanna come along? Follow me." She starts walking towards the merch stands.
Cerberus picks up Eurydice in his mouth.
Spider heads over to the merch stands.
L1MB0 teleports all of the people who want to check out the merch stands off of the balcony, next to the exit to the cavern.
Claire and Asphodel follow, talking about how Claire probably has some based merch.
The merch stands are outside.
Have fun walking through all the crowds!
Harmonia glides down from the balcony and starts pushing through the crowds, roughly tossing demons aside.
Luna simply walks through the crowd with a hop in her step, literally at some points. Just jumping like a fuckin goof.
Ari has gone off to find someone :}
Lucille is standing over everyone using her tentacles to GAZE at the merchandise of herself.....
The Lust and Sloth balconies have doors to leave to Harmonia's living room and the COTR respectively for the ones who want to leave.
Melody leaves quickly.
Cole grumbles angrily and makes his way to the merchandise.
Isaac follows Cole like a lost kid.
Apollo goes into the door that leads to Harmonia's living room, holding the hand of his bone golem and leading him towards it.
Upon making it outside, it's... Ohhh it's really refreshing actually mmm there's such a good breeze.
Outside of the cavern is, well. The same place they'd expect. A large gravel clearing.
BUT. What IS new is the GIGANTIC FUCKING MERCHANDISE STANDS RHAM HAS SET UP EVERYWHERE????
There are like. 10 STANDS spread throughout the clearing, all being run by a respective GIANT BONE GOLEM.
Harmonia PISSLANTIS ARMY! Merch... Cole Genesone "BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!" Merch... Spider "We love angsty werewolves" Merch... hats, shirts, guns, knives, CARS THERE'S A COLE GENESONE BRAND MIATA....
There's LUNA FUMOS... CERBERUS FOOD STAND...
And. Oh my god. What the fuck. There's a stand FILLED with JUST BLUE AZALEA MERCH... SO MUCH BLUE AZALEA MERCH.... BLUE AZALEA PRIDE FLAG?!?!??!?!!?!?!
And more. There's so much more. So much merch you cannot comprehend it. For every member of the kiss AND marketable member of the tournaments like Lilith. But like 90% of it is the kiss.
And there's Rhamphosuchus. The capitalist bastard. Watching his MERCHANDISING EMPIRE. And selling Bone Golems for like $400 dollars USD.
Lucille buys two of everything Blue Azalea brand.
Cole stops growling and walks over to the fucking Miata and stares at it.
Isaac is creeped out.
Lucille now has two of every item sold at Walmart, Blue Azalea style.
Harmonia blushes, going to her stand. "Mind if I have a marker? ill sign things if people want."
The bone golem hands her a bone with tar at the end of it. It will function like a pen.
Luna buys one of the weird looking fumos and pulls out a marker. "I'll autograph things for y'all if nya want."
Harmonia shrugs and starts signing merch for people who want it.
There's actually two fumos for MG Luna and Sloth Demon Luna!
A LOT of Merch is getting signed, actually. Like a lot of it.
Isaac watches in horror
Oh, Luna buys them both. Who knows, maybe Eris would like them? Luna hopes Eris returns, sighing.
Cole looks at the merch getting signed and not at all gets jealous and grabs a pen from his jacket and stands near his merch.
Spider rolls her eyes and walks up to her stand, the air heats up as she pulls a glove off and presses her hand against the stand, attempting to torch it.
Isaac goes to stand behind Cole quietly.
Cole gets an influx of rabid wolves.
The fire is instantly extinguished by the tar golem and Spider is punted out of Wrath (Back to Harmonia's front yard.)
"And there goes my teammate." Luna facepalms while signing more fumos.
After a bit Harmonia finishes up and heads back to the door, going home
Cole gives his pen to a random wolf and heads out the back door, home.
"I'll be back tomorrow for more autographs." Luna waves bye to her fans and then heads out the door, returning to the living room.
Everyone else heads home as well.
