007 - Valentines~

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[Trotting along through the village is a very familiar looking doll. It's Tokunaga, complete with passenger. However...something seems definitely off about both. For one thing, the giant stuffy is wear a black hood over his head, shadowing his button eyes and making his Cheshire cat grin all the more spooky. He's also sporting an odd heart pattern painted in red on his tummy. Secondly, he's dragging a large, heavy axe along behind him. And third...he's singing, even though his face retains it's usual forever grinning look that could make grown men wet themselves.]

Painting the roses red~
We're painting the roses red!
We dare not stop,
Or waste a drop,
So let the paint be spread~
We're painting the roses red~
We're painting the roses red!

[As he goes on, his passenger remains...oddly silent, and strangely hidden. Anise is riding him backwards, holding to one of his ears with one hand while the other is holding a bright red parasol with black trim. The symbol on the parasol looks strange...like a heart growing out of a rose, with a crown on top. It was bold and black, standing out against the bright red. The girl was also wearing a ruffly red gown, that looked like something royalty might wear. The ruffles were white, and the gown had black as well as white and gold trim. There were many hearts incorporated in said trim.

Her face hidden in the shadow of her parasol, Anise rides along on her walking, talking dolly, who's singing merrily, that grin large and almost more frightening than usual. Both passenger and taxi give off a strange dark aura.

Something is definitely amiss. ...Perhaps they've gone mad?

Ah, but...we're all mad here~ ♥]



[OOC: Make way for the Queen of Hearts! ...No, seriously, you better get the hell out of Anise's way if executioner!Tokunaga tells you to. You piss Anise off, and it's "off with your head". Friends, foes, acquaintances...anyone is subject to the Queen's wrath. This is also a kindasorta placeholder until tomorrow-ish. It's close to 4am, and I haven't done my homework for Monday yet, derp. orz]

Comments

well since she's already been threatened with this

[neverforgives.livejournal.com]

[...Arietta's just going to be staring. Had Dist instealled some kind of voice system on Tokunaga? Not to mention that they were dressed and acting very strangely.]

Making me attack an unarmed kid, god. 8|

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[No way, if Dist had installed a voice chip on Tokunaga, he'd either be talking in 8-bit or binary code. Nope, this is something much more advanced. Magic.

The intimidating doll-turned-executioner prances around carefully, swinging its free arm around. One may notice his clawed hand is stained red and there's a definite copper scent to his plush. What, paint is so expensive, don't you know~? One must learn to improvise.]

[Tokunaga leers down at the girl, his button eyes glinting and large grin unchanging.]

She's not unarmed: she can whack you with her dolly. So there.

[neverforgives.livejournal.com]

[She's starting to suspect ventriloquism. And Arietta's probably got a good sense of smell for a human, considering how she was raised, so she can recognize blood pretty easily.

She takes a step back when Tokunaga addresses her.] That's not funny, Anise.

They need to have a dolly fight. You know...when Anise isn't psychotic.

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[Tokunaga follows after a step, but then straightened when he feels his head stroked. He seems rigid like a board, however, and his ears are twitching nervously.]



[And the parasol lifts up to show off the passenger, Anise, who looks rather regal in her glamorous, frilly outfit. Regal, yes, but also rather terrifying, considering that sinister grin she's sporting, and her pink-red eyes.]

Why, it's a little girl!

Somehow I think one of them has a slight advantage there. :|

[neverforgives.livejournal.com]

[...That's not a queen. Although it's fairly intimidating, particularly since she doesn't have any of her friends with her, there is enough "what is this I don't even know" ridiculousness to counteract it somewhat.

Which is not to say that she's not going to try to back up again, if only to look up at Anise without getting a crick in her neck.]

You're only a little taller.

[reinerdeer.livejournal.com]

[Reiner is normally a bit intimidated by Anise. After all, the Fon Master Guardian had earned her title. And her doll was pretty scary, too.]

[But now? Reiner's about ready to soil himself when he sees what looks like a grim reaper!Tokunaga. He's frozen stiff at the voice. Oh Yulia, protect him...]

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[What are you talking about, Cantor? Anise is just a sweet, adorable little girl! ...Except not right now. The dolly drags the axe along the paved ground, the metal making a sickening scraping sound as he trudges along, singing to himself.]



[The doll chuckles eerily, ever-grinning like the Cheshire cat he parodies, and finally turns that grin towards the young man. You've been spotted, Reiner.]

[reinerdeer.livejournal.com]

[It's not Anise he's looking at. He hasn't even NOTICED her. Just that giant axe that seems like it could slice him in half quite nicely... OH LORELEI WHY ISN'T HE RUNNING.]

[His legs are locked up out of fear, and he stares at the doll until it's finished with it's horrible, horrible song...]

[And now he's running for his life.]

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[For a moment, the massive stuffy just stands there, but when the passenger's parasol twirls idly, the doll rockets forward, after the young man. He's usually faster than normal, even while carrying that huge, heavy axe. He's careful not to excite his charge, however, and is seemingly delicate, even as he reaches out with his free hand to make a grab at Reiner's body.]

[reinerdeer.livejournal.com]

[OH GOD RUNNING. Reiner lets out a horrified shout as he's picked up in one of those squishy hands. He really doesn't want to die, not like this...!] P-P-P-Please, s-sir... P-Put me d-d-d-down...!

[allthatdies]

[Van watches the doll and the girl carefully, not quite sure what the best course of action would be.

Finally he steps toward them, hand resting over his sword's hilt.]

Your doll has quite an impressive voice.

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[Hey, Van, have a large, creepy dolly invading your personal space. He leans forward, careful of his passenger, and completely ignores what was said about his singing voice. He just continues his song as if the Commandant had helped move it along. Van might be able to smell the familiar scent of copper on the doll's fuzzy body. It seems that heart wasn't smeared on with paint.]



[He draws his axe over and holds the blade to his neck, grinning.]

[allthatdies]

[Van doesn't back down or flinch. Instead, he forces a smiles, tightening his hand on the hilt as he directs his eyes to the doll.] I see you're not from my world, then.

Red is a far more marvelous color, I agree. Do you intend to paint them red?

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[And he's using the term "we" very loosely here. I do wonder who else is included in that, hm. The parasol twirls in the hands of the passenger and Tokunaga straightens instantly, as if he's been electrified. Finally, the little girl speaks, moving her parasol. She really does look like royalty in that dress and crown, but her villainous pinkish-red eyes make her look more manic than majestic. She plucks something from her lap, a white rose, smeared in a thick red liquid.]

...Who's been painting my roses red?

[allthatdies]

[Van raises a brow, but shifts his focus to the girl, pausing a moment.]

I believe there have been some, misfits in this area. I hear that they're painting everything red.

Fashionably late, amirite?♥~

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

My my. And what do we have here?

Pff, you know she's going to feel like hell if she ends up attacking him. 8|

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[Oh my god, what the hell is that guy wearing? Is that...blue!? Good lord, that is the most villainous color ever. You should be wearing, red! The queen gives a disapproving shake of her parasol and the massive doll stomps his way towards Jade, dragging his axe along behind him. Once he's close enough, he'll lean right up to his face. Pff, personal space, what's that?]

Haha XD

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

[ Jade of course has absolutely no idea that Anise has been possessed, or transformed--or whatever. ]

Colonel Jade Curtiss, Third Division, Malkuth Imperial Forces.

And you are?~

So mean, Colonel. >': ...Off with your head. 8)a

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[You'll be figuring that out soon enough. The passenger atop the large puppet seems more and more displeased by this strange man's presence. A Colonel? And what's this about Malkuth? What in Wonderland was that... Is someone trying to steal her kindgom?! Then this man was here to declare war! The Queen of Hearts snaps her parasol shut and glares at him.

Tokunaga stands at immediate attention and holds his axe tightly. He dares not speak, nor move, until commanded by his queen.]

...Can you stand on your head~? ♥ [Anise smiles, her eyes a definite shade of pinkish-red, much different from her usual chocolate brown. That question also has some very dark undertones.]

Is that a challenge? 8)

[uncutejade.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid not. The strain on my back would be terrible.

[ He's just going to troll since he thinks Anise is merely playing around~ ]

/late orz

[BABY SISTER WRY. But you're seriously amazing for this. Luke's being his doofy handyman-like self around the place, replacing light bulbs and the like, and happens to be on his way down from his ladder when he sees...]

[Well, he's not entirely sure what you'd call that. Other than odd and a little bit creepy. He's got some kind of wrench-like tool in one hand, and there's a box of other tools at the foot of the ladder, but otherwise he's just staring. Feel free to notice him, Possessed!'naga.]

LUKE, NOOO. >8

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[I'M SORRY, BRO, THE MUN DEVIL MADE ME. No pictures, please~ The evil executioner!Tokunaga does indeed notice the redhead and tilts his head a little. He gets an approving twirl of the parasol and prances his way over, the axe he's dragging behind him making a sickening grinding sound against the ground.

Have a large, intimidating dolly peering at you curiously.]

>>;; HE'LL BE OKAY. ...I think.

[highmaintanance.livejournal.com]

[Winces a little at the sound the axe makes across the ground; it's a bit like fingernails on a chalkboard. This leads Luke to peel a sort of grimace off his face as he looks up at the slightly demonic doll, tilting his head.]

...huh. Didn't know you spoke, Tokunaga. [Because truly, he's seen stranger things.]

:| Not helping.

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[The large dolly laughs softy, a hollow sound from deep within, as he places his free, clawed paw on the top of Luke's head. Those long, sharp claws are a bright red color and smell of a very...unsavory odor. One guess as to what that is.]



[He strings those claws through Luke's hair slowly, inspecting it curiously.]

:DD

[highmaintanance.livejournal.com]

[Is most certainly wary of that oversized paw, but doesn't actually seem to have a problem with the situation until he notes their unusual color-- and the smell. His skin slowly blanches a shade.]

...wasn't aware it was customary to paint people.

[Tries to keep still, outwardly still relatively calm.]
