abyssdressing | 007 - Valentines~

[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]

[ Jade lets out a small sigh of relief when he finally has ~~the demon child~~ Anise under control. He holds her down with one arm, while his other hand is grasping is knife, which he is now holding firmly to her throat. ]

Ah, I'm afraid you'll have to get in line.

[ He presses the point of the knife to her neck a little harder. ]

Now. What exactly are you the "Queen" of?

[She'll still struggle, but her efforts will slow considerably when that knife is pressed against her neck. She can feel the cold blade against her skin and sneers. Her voice turns high and cold, and she openly laughs.]

Coward. You can't slit my throat, can you~? [She snickers mockingly.] Whomever rules you hasn't trained you well enough, it seems. What a waste of a soldier!

[A pause, she can feel a trickle of blood run down her throat as he presses it more enthusiastically against her skin.] I am the Queen of Hearts, fool.

[ Jade only laughs sardonically at the girl's insult. ] A coward, am I?

[ The Necromancer removes the knife from Anise's neck momentarily... ]

Farewell, Queen.

[ ...only to swiftly bring the blade back across her throat, effortlessly cutting into the soft flesh. ]

[ An efficient, clean kill...and yet, Jade couldn't exactly swallow the lump in his throat, or quell the uneasiness in his stomach. Something about this--about her--hadn't been right. He wanted to believe that this iteration of Anise had simply been evil, that he had had no other choice, that it has been survival. And it had been.

And yet...

Suddenly, the wound in his side became infinitely more painful. With a great deal of effort, Jade stands up and begins to make his way back to town. ]

[In those few moments between life and death, the girl looks up at her comrade in a mixture of sorrow, confusion, shock, and absolute fear. Anise's body goes limp after a moment or two, and she just lies there as blood pooled around her.

A single white rose tumbles from a pocket of her gown, petals soaking in the color of her precious lifeblood.]

That ending was sad. :____: I didn't want to kill her, I swear!

>': Yeah. My muse kind of hates me forever. >__>;; B-But she'll be back! Just with a faint scar on her neck and no voice for a few days, and maaaaybe kinda sorta more or less scared on Jade. *cough*

>_> Haha, Jade will have rightfully earned that fear. She can give hima swift kick in the pants, or something. :|d

PFF. That is so tempting, but I'm sure she'd just kind of duck away from him and avoid his eye as much as possible. D: She'd also feel really guilty, too, so... yeah. ;;

But she'll get better! Somehow. :|a;;
