the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (13)

saturday (10) survivors Something is different. You can feel it in the air: an ominous presence that weighs down the ship like it's underwater. Try as you might, you can't escape the feeling that you're being watched, the sensation of someone just out of view tailing you. Tensions are high, and paranoia grows with it. You feel it more than see it, and that's what warps your perception of the ship. Is it darker? Are the lights dimming? Who is it that calls out to you? Why is it so cold? Who can you trust? The distinct sensation of not knowing who your back is to wraps around you. There is one thing you can trust in, however; though you feel exposed, you are not alone.

[ The fear in Elizabeth's eyes are obvious - those blues trembling like two dewdrops. She's terrified she'll lose Adelina again, that her death will signify another reminder that she can't help them. Yuno tends to Elizabeth, helping her and even if Yuno tries, she still tries to struggle. ]

I can't leave them - [ Adelina, Jason and Grell. Songbird, too? The beast seems distressed, scared and confused that they were taking someone as precious as Elizabeth away. It was her protector, it was growing angry as the cracks on the glass increase. ]

Songbird's going to open... open the window... Yuno, can you get us there...? I have an idea...

[ Elizabeth says with stammered breath, feeling faint against the girl who was altering time and reality as much as she was.

Adelina, however, contends with the tightening grip of the mechanical man. There seems to be a soft mutter under its breath - his words human "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." It's caught off guard and Adelina can escape by cutting off the beautiful brown strands of hair. They fall limp in his fingers right when Yuno's energy sends him stumbling back, tripping over the now split body of George Washington. All while Jason and Grell began to worry about Honest Abe starting to torment them with a hail of bullets.

Yuno and Adelina can both see Handyman getting to his feet... ]

[luckily, as soon as she sees yuno tending to elizabeth, adelina turns her attention back to the handyman. she's not at her best - the electricity, the soreness of falling to the ground (there will be bruises later, she's sure) and the strangeness of her revival combined weigh heavy. still, when she sees him start to rise, she's moving towards him.

when she reaches it and swings her sword into its leg, she doesn't expect it to do much damage - it's made of metal, after all. all the same, she doesn't think she can hurt the heart on her own. if she can buy everyone a few extra moments without being interrupted by the handyman, that will be enough. all she has to do is distract it for a few moments.]

[ elizabeth can fight it all she wants, but the serial killer-slash-teenager has no issue exerting more strength than she should logically have. like adelina, she's injured. this is the third time she's been burned on this damned ship, though, and while her skin feels like it's boiling from the steam still, there's no time to waste. elizabeth can fight and complain, but her grip is iron tight.

and when she's on yuno's back - she hesitates. yuno thinks adelina will be okay, hopes it, too. vaguely, there's a hope that adelina will be fine and will be rushing to join her and elizabeth at the window, but.

she doesn't look behind her. she rushes. ]

You want to go to that thing? Are you sure it's safe? [ elizabeth seems to have a level of familiarity with the things going on here. likely, everyone has realized this by now. she trusts her, but if songbird breaks the window, they're -

well everyone else is toast. yuno would be fine. still, that's not an outcome she likes. she closes the distance between the two of them and songbird, but there's a moment where she stops, halfway there. it's a battle, and she shouldn't, but yuno's been safe in the middle of chaos before. she feels okay stopping. ]

[ The bird seems more frantic when Yuno brings Elizabeth away. She's struggling but Yuno is tight, she clings tighter. ]

He's ... he's taught to find me. No matter what, Songbird will always find me. [ As Elizabeth is brought closer to Songbird through the window, the loud bangs and attacks on the window stop. It tilts its head curiously to both Yuno and Elizabeth. The fight ongoing between both Grell/Jason and the Patriot was coming to an end, but Elizabeth says softly.] It's only ...only his nature.

Please, Yuno, I promise... it'll be alright.

[ Adelina has a moment to collect herself, this is good. The Handyman was lumbering to his feet, and soon, Adelina finds her sword slicing through some of the metal coils and joints of the machine. It doesn't exactly hinder him, leaning his weight more preferably on his other foot. Oh. Oh no. It rears it's giant hand back, and - with one harsh smack, Adelina is sent flying - right towards Jason. ]

Adelina!

[ That certainly was a thing that happened. ]
