[ she stops short of reaching out for him. the sight of his face makes her blood run cold. ]

What...?

[ugghh]

—Back away.

[ DON'T GET KNIFED AGAIN HACKERWOMAN!!! ]

[boxcar]

Did he do this to her, do you think?

[ Is he aggressive or not? It's hard to tell. The 'Fidelio' slowly gets up though even as your picked up party members back away as instructed. ]

What do you reckon we do? Just... ignore him?
Kinda freaky if you ask me. Del would probably wanna take this creepy clone of his out.

Basilio.
Told you to leave the thinking to me.

[ 'Fidelio' flexes his fingers, clawed fingertips sharp... ]

[trifocal]

[ long basilio...

okay she's stepping back as asked. ]

Take him out? But...

[ a quick glance at the body on the floor. did she have any wounds we can see, or is she just (genshin voice) wet? ]

[ugghh]

We don't have much time to make a decision, it seems.

[ UHHH!!!! surely basilio knows what he's talking about, and daigo isn't going to question it, but. they're in too close quarters to get a good shot, and also, he doesn't want to act rashly. ]

[boxcar]

[ Okay! You truly hesitated so Fidelio is going to just suddenly leap at Daigo. He creepily keeps repeating the same previous dialogue in a monotone voice. He's really making use of these clawed hands -- which on closer inspection, seem oddly fleshy and streaked in a way that doesn't seem natural -- to start gouging at Daigo's face.

Elysia is Wet and seems like she has a few rips and gouge marks in her torso, sure! You see something lumpy in a pocket now that you've given her a bit of a closer look. ]

[trifocal]

[ she reaches into her pocket to take the thing? what is the thing?

and while she's crouched down doing this i guess daigo is getting his face clawed??? damn this man is going through it today ]

[ugghh]

[ even in an au taking place in a murdergame we are canon compliant with daigo always going through it.

I GUESS HE'S GONNA TRY TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF FIDELIO. god his chest hurts so bad he is definitely bleeding worse from the movement of trying to defend himself but also punch fidelio into submission. i suppose i should roll for this. ]

[boxcar]

[ Eupha will find two things! One is a brass key with the emblem of an eagle on it.

The other is a series of handwritten letters. Seems like she never got to send them...

Also yeah go ahead and roll. I suppose Kiryu and Bas should be helping but Bas seems a touch hesitant even if he did just say the real Del would probably prefer this guy taken care of. Kiryu can assist you in attacking Doppelganger Fidelio on your roll. ]

[trifocal]

[ she will pocket the key. the letters only get a glance; there's no time to read them right now.

and she'll run at fidelio, trying to grab one of his arms and twist it back and away from daigo's face. ]

[ugghh]

[ I ROLLED A 14 LET ME FIGHT OFF THIS BEAST i wish i knew the names of any of his punches. haymaker? yeah that sounds about right.

actually no let me reversal counter him so i can use this gif. ]

[boxcar]

[ 'Fidelio' has given up the speech it seems. His strange maw opens wide in Daigo's face. It smells awful, like rotting meat. It definitely looked like he was just about ready to bite his face off if it weren't for the timely intervention of Eupha yanking him back, Kiryu giving him a kick, and Daigo coming in with that REVERSAL COUNTER!!! Fidelio's claws do catch and gives Daigo a pretty nasty scratch up his jaw on the way but he slams down on the ground with a bit of a sickening crack. Uh-oh, he landed a bit weird and his neck should not be at that angle.

Even then, it still keeps giving a hollow wheeze, trying to grab at someone's ankles while his kitty tail weakly and awkwardly lashes, but it's getting weaker. Basilio visibly winces at this. ]

I can't watch this.

[ If neither of you do the honours, Bas will, with his kassara that I definitely didn't write as an axe in an early tag and then change my mind. ]

[trifocal]

[ she stares in horror at the body, and then it grabs at her ankle as it weakly thrashes (gives her a little clawing as a treat yay)...

but yeah she'll give basilio the honour(??) of finishing it off. unless daigo really wants to. this is hard to watch for a lot of reasons. ]

[ugghh]

[ daigo will be foe to people-turned-monster-animals and monster-animal-people alike. he can bear this burden. he certainly doesn't want to, but if it's too difficult for basilio, then yeah, sure, he'll fire into fidelio's mouth-face to put him out of his misery.






god his face fucking hurts. ]

[boxcar]

[ We love a good double tap situation don't we? Por que no Los dos. Basilio is looking pretty unhappy about it, while Kiryu is eyeing Elysia's corpse with a look of wariness.

...

Fortunately that one does NOT get up. She seems dead as hell. I'm not typing back up that code on mobile, but pretend he says something along the lines of 'What now?' ]

[trifocal]

[ cool. she watches fidelio get shot and thwacked in the mouth-face. and just looks at the body for a bit. processing.

...

she'll go back to look at the device again. ]

I am not sure what this is, but perhaps we can activate it...?

[ she'll give daigo a minute to recover first, though. ]

[ugghh]

[ he's just kind of standing there, bleeding all over the place again. ]


...Uh, I think I'll take that vial now, if you don't mind.

[boxcar]

[ Daigo......

Neither Kiryu nor Bas can really help you with the Telelectroscope in terms of describing what it does. However at least the problem of turning it on seems as simple as a literal switch to be hit. ]

[trifocal]

Of course.

[ she's going to give the vial to daigo first.

and then... ]

I am going to try this.

[ hits the switch... ]

[ugghh]

[ can daigo get away with drinking half the vial or is it all or nothing? either way he wants to stop bleeding so you know. ]

[boxcar]

Hmm. What good did that do, you think?

[ Basilio is just looking over the weird machine and wires, doing a funny pose to squint at it. What if I came over to your house and did this with you... The machines comes to life with a hum, electricity thrumming in the air. Eupha can feel it. Something guides her to perceive with her third eye.

Kiryu looks at the switch being turned on then at Eupha and Daigo who is recovering. It is a consumable item so I guess you will simply have to drink the entire thing. Use your cloth strips to stem your bleeding, all this thing does is recover your actual HP value. So I guess it's like drinking a Red Bull in that sense. What if this was all just Red Bull this entire time? ]

Did the body have anything?

[trifocal]

There were some letters... and a key.

[ she shows the key to everyone.

when she looks at this machine with her special eyes, can she see what it's doing? ]

[ugghh]

[ daigo consumes whatever 5 hour energy drink this is. his hp is restored so he won't just pass out and die right here on the floor (hopefully).

anyway he's useless this round. ]

[boxcar]

Looks to me like the same eagle that's on the city gates.

[ Perhaps this is the item you need! Or at least, this is the item they need. Don't know about you guys, you should probably get out of here instead of staying overlong in this hell. Conveniently Eupha will be able to tap into her mind's eye, her Hacking Eye, and see an onslaught stream of code flowing down the Telelectroscope, which I normally just call the TES because trying to type that every single time gives me an aneurysm. There also seems to be a line of it passing through the floor, guiding her to the strange room to the south in the same space.

Kiryu just stands there occasionally looking at Daigo. He doesn't know how to make small talk. ]

[trifocal]

Truly? Then we are one step closer to where we wish to be.

[ a hopeful smile.

and then her gaze wanders, following the codes and lines that only she can see. ]

I wonder where this leads?

[ where what leads. she follows it to the south room and takes a look inside. what do we have here? ]
