He watched, increasingly entertained as some dumbass greenblood got hit. After, he watched the dramatic death announcement for the redblood, and some relationship triangle stuff or whatever continued to be a thing, or whatever. Who cared, really. He just wanted to see someone die. And he was the one on the watchlist? Hilarious.
s**t, maybe he really should get some community service in and join the military if they let trolls get away with this kind of thing.
The glow of watching an amazing show broke momentarily as Acteon got themself involved. It was funny, at first, and still kind of funny when their lusus was punished for being a little shitlord. If Guo had learned anything from his own stint, it was that there was a time and a place for mouthing off.
In that time, the small body crashed into his, knocking the wind out of him. "Oof!"
He held onto the child, though, probably out of the reflex that they might go after their lusus. Probably a bad move if they did. Guo whispered to the kid quick, "Don't join the body count, pipsqueak."
He looked up again. The blueblood checked out his surroundings, all the kids stuck on this wild ride, the troll and the ghost at the center of it all. He replayed Gerard 's many, many words.
Guo rolled his neck, cracking it a little. He got this. "Esteemed commissioner," That's what he was, right? Though he hated playing nice with some midblood, but whatever. "I respect your ambition and your pursuits. I apologize on behalf of some of the younger among us who don't get it yet. Youth, you know? But, on my end..." He cracked a shark-tooth smile. "I'd like to help. I know someone in the robotics field, a direct contact for that body you're looking for."

Eridia stopped thrashing, slashing as she hear the communicator go off. The child... He was telling Glamis what she was doing. No, no, no! She was going to lose it all unless... The highblood paused and turned around to look at the children. Eyes cold, disassociating... They were all against them. All of them.
With a crooked smile she took her own communicator. Feigning her tears, even her eyes started to water, and a worried voice she turned it on and... "G-Glamis? I..." She stuttered, the way she used to do to get away with her consequences as a child. There was no way she would get affected by this. Sure she expected a consequence later on but nothing that would be too harsh on her that would strip her from her privileges. No, she had to outsmart them. "Help..." The message was choked out as she stepped closer and closer to the children. "H-help us!" She wailed. "GLAMIS!"
One of her daggers was flung right after she ended the transmission. Aiming, not at the children, but near them. If any of them got hurt, wounded even, it would not end well. The dagger got lodged on a wall near them and that's when Eridia took her other weapon.
Her skull.
She needed to cut off any external communication with Glamis. With that in mind, she laughed at the idea she had, powered on the skull, took her aim at Philip's communicator before firing. “Keep your eyes open, child. Keep your spongeclots pricked. Keep looking behind you. Because one night I'll find you, and then you'll be culled." She said darkly, still aiming, still shooting.

Sephos was not good at combat, but he was big, strong, and pretty good at protecting himself. Sort of. He grunted with bitten back pain as mirror shards sliced at his instinctively guarding arms, lodging 'luckily' in his bones.
The horrible sensations were overwhelming, but at least they were... sort of familiar to Sephos. The bad break in the Chittentown tower had been just as painful. This time it was his arms - and at least he could move them.
"Eridia! Stop! Please, stop!" he begged her, gasping in panic as her, "I didn't say you were a villain! You're not a fool either." He managed to protect his body and face, "I just want you to stop and... Augh!" He flinched away from her blows, bending (not breaking, though) under the storm of blades lacerating his skin.
His more injured arm wasn't moving right, but he still had two. The mirror shards stopped attacking him, and a hemoanon troll ran in to help. Sephos took the opportunity to lunge at Eridia and grab her with his good hand. He was a big strong troll. Even one arm would help.
"Stop this!" he implored her.

Hemera followed the directions over the communicator, and kept it on her as she made her way over. Immediately upon arrival, hearing various upset, often child-like voices, something was clearly wrong. The entrance was cut off...by...glass? What in the world had gone on here? East...east...east. Which seance was at the east block? She had been present for the coordination talk, for crying out loud!
Was it? Gerard? Her belly sank. On the one hand, of course, on the other...goddammit. Eridia. Anger rising, she iced up completely and stepped in, boomerang out and ready for the trouble she and the other ready trolls were about to face.
The ice was still mostly on her, though cracked from slicing, when she came in. It was still over her eyes. Livid, her voice was forceful. "Stand down."

Eridia didn't appreciate having someone cling to her.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" She screamed, trying to take the child off her. She did her bast to yank her off him like one would do to take off a tick. At this state of mind, child, teen, adult... It was all the same. Though he was right. At court she'd be at a disadvantaged, unless... She pledged for this crime as if she was unstable. "You... I'll kill you..." She would've thanked him really, but it would crash the act down.
Chapter Two: Where Insanity Reigned. It had a nice ring to it actually.
She spun her other dagger close to the blueblooded child, laughing at all of this. The more insane, the more irrational, the more immoral she appeared, would help her in court. Sephos attempted to stop her again, this time she let the fake tears take a hold.
"YOU! YOU ARE WITH THEM! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, OFF WITH EVERYONE'S HEADS!" She screamed, headbutting the greenblood with all the strength she could muster. That actually brought out real tears out of her. The pain was utterly great. Eridia stopped her tracks, tears still streaming down as her body trembled. Hemera had arrived. It was if all the positive feelings she had gathered during the item searched quickly made themselves present. Her breathing was heavy, Eridia was panting as blood streamed down her face-- mixing with her tears.
"Stand down.. You are telling me to stand down?" She laughed bitterly. "Why?"
"Why should I? Why should I! I'M JUST DOING WHAT'S RIGHT!" She was louder, crankier... Desperate. Gerard, she needed him...
