alois scholz (unmasked) || 20/25 || qqing more about his hand than his knees Finally the guests took initiative, and Thorne parted from his torture session to assist his misguided wench of a mistress. Alois shifted to fully seat himself on the floor, knees far too bruised and battered to tax with standing, and cradled the damaged husk of his hand. „********,“ he eked out through the pain. He grew lightheaded from it, and knew immediately that standing right now was out of the question. Ice… Wasn’t there ice anywhere? Where was that girl who castigated him about sewing people up at Blackfriars? She could put her evident medicinal knowledge to use about now…
Fleetingly he glanced toward the father of fire. I hope you knew my question was honest. There wasn’t time to ask now. no, not with everyone exposing melany for the thoughtless wench she truly was.
And that meant one of these wretched fakes may expire tonight.
„If someone has a moment,“ he called to the crowd, „could one of you fetch me some ******** ice?“ Alois lacked the discipline to simply tune out the pain, and it only protested louder the more he tried. Clutching his wrist offered no reprieve.

Autumn Smith, healing Unmasked AloisA familiar voice tore her, momentarily, from her thoughts, and Autumn turned to see Alois, freed from the hell he'd been in earlier. Her vision swum, but not so thickly- she could hear her family, but she was here now, too. Forcing the burning bile back down her throat, Autumn wobbled over to Alois, bending over to rip off the bottom of her skirt as she went. When she arrived, she wordlessly took his hand, wrapping the fabric around it.
"Only a moment more, hun. I got this. Just... stay with me." She closed her eyes, and breathed. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Ignore her father. Ignore her mother. They weren't here. Alois was, Eve was. She was at the court of the Sorrowful One, and she needed to help people. Not be rescued herself. She had this.
The pain came to her, taken bit by bit from Alois. It wasn't real. It wasn't ******** real. Her father wasn't real, the pain wasn't real. Only temporary. In through the nose, out through the mouth.
When she opened her eyes once more, she removed the bandage. The hand had repaired itself.
"There. There, you're okay," she breathed, equal parts to herself and Alois. Her eyes shifted up to meet his, and low and quiet, she said.
"Get out of here. Now. While they're distracted. I'll find a way to find you later. But I can't imagine this'll actually go well for you, when s**t calms down."

The Spinel Lady: 15/25, casting @ all combatants 'cuz she's a boss and it's CC time Melany takes the deer kick on her arm; she's risen from the ruins of her table. With a sharp gesture, the remnants of food and wine and glass shatter to the ground. Where she's been cut, that same unreal blood tracks down to her gossamer gray silk. She reaches out, takes Thorne's arm, her proud posture never failing. She wipes the blood from her forehead with the palm of one delicate hand. "Alexander," she says, holding her bloodied hand before her, just below her breast. "Defend me. Let none of them touch me." Quote: Melany is getting ready for something big. This 'something big' may wipe out as much as 80% of your characer's total HP pool.

alois scholz (unmasked) || 25/25 || escaping Alois was hoping for ice, but one of the ruffians did one better - an actual healing spell? Alois watched, spellbound, as the girl simply used a scrap of skirt (always approved in his book; the view was better) and applied some kind of magic to it. Reconstruction was markedly less painful than expected. Bones righted and withdrew from the flesh they pierced, and the hand reformed into its recognizable shape. Carefully he flexed his grip to test its reknitting.
It worked. Good.
Looking up to the girl, Alois flashed her a crooked smile. „You’re an idiot,“ he replied in thanks, „just like me. You’re not as bad as ze rest of zese gawkers.“
But he knew when to go and Autumn was right - now wasn’t the time to stick around and see if Melanie decided on him as a tithe. Scrambling to his feet ached painfully; jolts shot up his legs with every step taken, every pound of pressure on his knees. Starting down the ivery hall took care, but eyes were no longer on him. He paved his way by leveraging weight against nearby columns, tables, chairs. He knew where to hide.
It was a long walk, but he knew where to hide.
[alois exit]alois scholz (masked) || 25/25 || hi hot daddy Alois pleasured grin segued into a frown. The chianti was drained, another taken from the paused waiter who watched the scene. His heels clicked deftly against the marble in his approach, masked by the breaking battle. He didn’t care. She wasn’t his mistress. Let them take her for her missteps in public punishment.
His steps, always so careful, led him to the Burning Man’s side. „Dear Father,“ he started and offered the fresh fluted glass. „Might I find the wretched one and explain to him his folly? He’s more familiar with our punishments.“

Shun Kuroda 10/25 | Time to break the breakbar Shun tensed as Chel came up and touched him, which... oddly enough made some of the pain go away. She was now stepping in between himself and Shiloh, and Jack was still trying to get things to settling on down. Before he could even really say much of anything, he realized that Melany was up to something. Narrowing his eyes, he immediately took his knife and flung it straight for the Spinel Lady before dashing towards one of the tables to hopefully take cover. "Get out," he snapped towards the others. Out of the corner of his eyes he could see the unmasked whipping boy fleeing the scene. That was something at least.

Thorne (Masked) | | 25/25 | | Get wrekt
Thorne turns his head towards Melany where she touches him. It's a burning sensation, like running a lighter over the tips of his fingers, and he revels in the taste of it. Revels in her wanton need for whatever comes next.
"Yes, Madam," he drawls easily, a low soft purr of sound that echoes sentiment, "I will not let them touch you."
He does not know what she intends, but in this moment it does not matter. Thorne puts his body in front of Melany with the ease and grace of a wolf in front of its master.
Anyone that goes for her will have to run through his fangs first.

Autumn Smith 25/25, fleeing the scene She didn't need telling twice. Following Alois's Awkward Absconding (as it was alliterative, it needed all capitalization), Autumn rose back up, and turned to Eve. She still swum, half her father, half her boss and adoptive mom. And oh wow, wow she had ******** up. That... was going to need explanation later.
"M-mom! ********, we gotta get out of here. NOW. I don't wanna know what tall dark and bitchy over there is planning," she cried, running by. Her look was... ashamed. Heartbroken at herself. She had been magically influenced, but ********, that wasn't an excuse. Not to Eve, who had gone so far out of her way...
"He got in my head, he made me see my. My actual dad. Not. I'm sorry. I- I'll explain later," And that was all. Not wanting to stick around further, having very much poked the sleeping bear, Autumn attempted to run from the room.shibrogane Autumn is attempting to flee

Thorne (Masked) | | 25/25 | | BLOCKING A DAGGER (Sorry I didn't see it in my last post!!)
Also ******** you, Shun, how dare you throw knives at Melany!
Thorne snarled at the knife, the boy, the cretin that dared to interrupt. The knife clattered to the floor from where he knocked it aside, a brittle block that spoke of many years of repetition guarding the same woman time and time again.
"Try again," he drawled at Shun, the mask jangling even though he didn't move away from his prize, his master, "Come closer. Please, I'd love to see you bleed."

alois scholz (masked) || 25/25 || bye hot daddy He nodded gently. „As you wish, Father.“ A short bow, a slip from his side. He looked to Thorne in passing, who now stood before his mistress. A smile found lips once more..
„If you’ve a moment when these guests cease their unkindness, I would like to see you finish lecturing our troublesome one.“ He waved, all fingers, and started after the limping figure in the distance.

[25/25 | EVE]: nope Eve shifted quickly into fox mode and ran for the nearest exit, yipping at as many people as she could catch to do the same. Staying in this mess wasn't going to do anything to figure out the murder mystery taking place.

Chel | 15/25 | Healing Shun Again
Chel watched Shun jump back into the fray with a relieved sigh.
She gave Jack a look of appreciation; they could certainly talk about how <******** brave he'd been later, but for now she actually wasn't feeling talkative (maybe more miracle magic?).
She focused for a moment and put her hand on Shun's back as he fought, going through the same motion. "I don't run 'less you do, hotshot." She couldn't let Shun steal all of the glory.
Back to Jack, "Hope yer good at movin' in heels, jolly green."

Well.
he hissed, bounding to the pair in short order. Ah, the pluses of long legs. Grasping both of their arms, he proceeded to begin dragging them, if need be, towards the nearest exit. He wasn't sure cover was going to be enough here. Unbeknownst to him, their contact seemed to be beneficial to Shun.

Jamie Delacroix | 25/25 | being useless The phantoms of Jamie's past had a rough grip on him and the happenings of the room aside from his own fear and self-loathing were difficult to discern. Part of him still wanted to go after Shiloh, when he could actually remember why he wanted to go after Shiloh, and part of him simply wanted to coil in and forget any of this was happening. Unfortunately for Jamie, despite his hard work at making a difference this time, he hadn't done much of anything at all and now he couldn't get himself to. Maybe with some time to recover, he'd find his will again.
Until then, all he could do was hate himself.
"I'm sorry..." he muttered again. It was impossible to count how many times he'd apologized tonight. "I'm sorry, Shiloh..."
With a pathetic little whine, Jamie morphed into a hare in Lily's arms.
