Zero Heart: The Sequel

[hunting]

[Ace is probably experiencing a very violent and jarring drop that will deposit him (none too gently) right in the center of that familiar river of blood. Which means that, yep, that nagging sensation at the back of Ace's throat is back.

[waits...

ready to try snatching it the moment he tries to do anything other than hand it over with it.]

[hunting]

[Doesn't appear too inclined to hand it over actually.]

[deadofknight]

What, you want wander around being lost forever?

[hunting]

[Seems conflicted....]

[deadofknight]

[can I take advantage of the confusion to get a bit closer]

You know this isn't where you belong.

[hunting]

[Easily.

And he shakes his head, looking even more confused.]

[deadofknight]

[getting a little closer...]

The key's the only clue you have, isn't it? Putting it back will definitely give you hint as to where you have to go.

[hunting]

[Tries to give it a sharp tug but.. alas, it won't come off. :x]

[deadofknight]

Let me try.

[reaching for the key]

[hunting]

[Letting him do that and leaning forward a bit...]

[deadofknight]

[gives it a tug to see if it'll come off]

[hunting]

[Nope. :x]

[deadofknight]

[stares at it, considering getting his gun out and trying a spot of murder]

[hunting]

[Crown just looks... pretty damn awkward...]

[deadofknight]

[how is it attached? on a necklace?]

[hunting]

[Yep. Necklace.]

[deadofknight]

Mind if I try cutting the cord?

[hunting]

[He shrugs since he has no idea what else to do right now.]

[deadofknight]

[getting out his hunting knife, and trying to saw at the cord 8|b]

[hunting]

[Crown appears dubious as to the safety of this action...]

[deadofknight]

[I'm being careful. :)]

[hunting]

[Well, while Ace is working on that, he's going to notice that that hunger is actually making him considerably light-headed and dizzy now.

Also, that cord is really thick. Not impossibly thick but sawing at it might take a bit. And Crown might be starting to get... restless...]

[deadofknight]

[sawing faster :U]

Stop fidgeting, it's working.

[hunting]

[He is trying to hold still but he's also starting to... pull back a bit, not entirely voluntarily by the looks of it.]

[deadofknight]

[we're near the maze, still, right? backing Crown into the nearest bit of maze wall so he can't go anywhere. :)]
