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.

[LOOKS BACK AT CROWN. 8|]

Give me the vial you drank.

[hunting]

[Yeah, he is. Not wasting time in complying with that. Handing over his empty vial.]

[deadofknight]

[does it match the vials on the floor? :U]

[hunting]

[Yep!]

[deadofknight]

[putting his knife away to take the vial...keeping a hold on the key's chain though]

You woke up after drinking this, right?

[hunting]

[He seems unsure how to answer and makes an awkward "no clue" motion with both hands.]

[deadofknight]

[staring at Obi's neck in a slightly unnerving manner, wondering about the usefulness of carving him open and putting his blood back in the vial. :|b]

[hunting]

[Crown looks like he can tell what Ace is thinking and might be tugging at that chain a little. >>]

[deadofknight]

[YANKS HIM CLOSER. :)]

I told you to stop fidgeting, didn't I?

[hunting]

[Probably pointing to wherever Ace stashed the knife and miming cutting at the cord again. That sounds so much safer. '-']

[deadofknight]

Nope, that messes with the key. So we'll have to think of some other way to get you back in the vial.

[hunting]

[... Offers open palm... ?]

[deadofknight]

[puts the vial between his teeth, delicately, then pulls out his knife]

[hunting]

[Crown is keeping a VERY CLOSE eye on Ace and very much hoping he is taking his suggestion. :x]

[deadofknight]

[scoring a deep cut across Crown's palm]

[hunting]

[That probably hurts like a bitch so Crown is hissing inwardly but trying to stay as still as possible.]

[deadofknight]

[swapping knife hilt for vial between his teeth, and holding the vial out!

tip the blood in or I will shank you. that is what his eyes say.]

[hunting]

[Crown is doing his VERY BEST HERE because he is well aware what that look means.

Oh and this latest hunger spike at the smell of fresh blood means Ace is now feeling distinctly unwell and the call for blood might be reaching DEMANDING.

[deadofknight]

[is like two seconds away from slashing Crown's throat at this point. IS THE BLOOD GOING IN THE VIAL???]

[hunting]

[Yes. Yes, it is.]

[deadofknight]

[is it doing anything to the key or its cord? :|b]

[hunting]

[Well, the key is brightening again?]

[deadofknight]

[what about Crown though? :|b how does he look?]

[hunting]

[Kind of unsteady on his feet and weaker...]

[deadofknight]

[ok good keep bleeding into the vial then]
