[She'd continuing to sit atop the core. Spinning. Forever spinning. It did not matter that is was a ridiculous inclination, and it certainly did not matter that she hadn't moved in what felt like years, she knew that any further action past this point was futile.

She would never get better. She would never be able to forget what she saw. Nothing would change her state of mind. Nothing no one said, nothing that anyone would even attempt to do-- it was all in vain.

They would all be dead soon.]

[And then she whirls, noticing Blues.]

You can't make anyone leave.

[That voice. Bet that sounds familiar.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[That voice... That makes his circuits go cold, but it's also given him a target and he has more important things to worry about than how he feels right now.]

I think I can.

[silentrunning]

[She'd have been laughing. She truly would...if laughter hadn't been painful.]

Noo. You're going to go with us. No one can leave.

[Even injured, she moves to try to guard the door to this room, to keep them from leaving.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Yeah, he knows who you are Chell. He knows that you're injured Chell. He knows that he injured you Chell.

So he's going to walk right up to you if your guarding that door and try to lift you up over his robotic shoulder. You're leaving.]

[silentrunning]

[Chell can move surprisingly fast for a wounded chick though.]

She dodges sideways, before he can get to her. Or tries. She isn't leaving this room.]

Vriska! Help! He's trying to escape the inevitable!

[whistles_the_blues]

[He's tackled you down once before Chell, he'll do it again. Look out he's coming to do just that!]

[silentrunning]

[She's still moving, darting to find a place to hide.]

There are more important things to worry about.

[wagers]

[The troll hears the call, and her fangs clench in anger.]

Interlopers! So many... nuisances! All the annoyances! All of them! [She seethes low, staring at the robot.]

Why do you hinder us so?

[whistles_the_blues]

[He recognizes that voice. Unlike Chell, he knew Vriska before all of this crazyness happens. He doesn't have time to worry about that though. He'll just look in her direction, even though he can't see her for who she is right now.]

Because I can.

[silentrunning]

[Blues used pounce. It was supereffective. Chell falls, but as she does, she points to Vriska.]

Would you let him drag me out of here? Would you really? You know the only possibility.

[She's trying to get away from you, dude.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Ah bah, I was dumb and deleted that last post. Oh well let's just continue on.

Now that he's got you still Chell, he's lifting you up over his shoulder. Good luck getting out of his grip.]

[silentrunning]

[Noooooos. She has to find a way. Wriggling like a landed fish, pain no longer important, she kicks at him, not trying to hurt him this time, but trying to find a way to break his grip, so she can crawl down. Because she HAS to stay on the ship. She has to. Death is the only alternative. She squirms and kicks and thrashes and curses.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Good luck with that. You're kicks are just going to bounce off his metal body. He's not letting you go unless you can do something a whole lot better than that.]

[wagers]

[And here comes a Vriska, fully intent on pushing Blues off of Chell. Sword in hand, she knows it likely won't cut through his steely "skin", but it sure as hell will get his attention.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[No, but it'll do more than just scratch the pain. The push certainly knocks him off balance and he just barely manages to keep Chell in his grip. He's going to assume this is the other person who doesn't want to leave? Well if she wants Chell, she can have her. In fact, let him help as he tosses Chell at you.] ]

[silentrunning]

[Chell slams into Vriska, lit lighter in hand. She'd have tried to stop herself but LOL not happening when you get tossed by a robot, am I right?]

Shit. I'm sorry.

[She hisses at Vriska as she jerks her lighter back. Thankfully the flame's gone out, so hopefully it didn't burn Vriska too much.]

[wagers]

You've done your part. [Vriska glares at her robot friend's way, staring him down, trying to see through him-- as if his words before were not enough to convince her that he was doing anyone any sort of favor.]

Do you honestly think you can save us? You saw it all, didn't you? You know what it's like here!

[silentrunning]

[Chell makes it to her feet, and casually stands behind Vriska. After all, if there was a sword-wielding troll, and you were on HER side, wouldn't YOU want to stand behind her?}

[silentrunning]

[Chell's only human, and a wounded one at that. So the best she can do is glare at Blues ferociously. Unfortunately, glaring can't melt robot skin. But she does remember something. She has two weapons on her personage. One scalpel, and one cigarette lighter. She knows it won't burn his skin, and she doesn't want to hurt him. But it will get his attention perhaps.

Digging into her pocket, she pulls out the lighter and flicks it.]
