Welcome to Gaia! ::

<~>Oh okay.<~>

The apple simply stopped about four inches after it left her hand, though Tac did not seem to be paying attention to it. A violent orange glow wreathed it for a moment before it exploded in a shower of applesauce, mostly towards Red. Tac was still grumbling to himself, "God damn wall! Let me gooooooo."

With a grunt of effort he tried pulling back quite hard, but his head still seemed to be jammed in there pretty good. With a sigh he leaned forward to take a rest and...fell forward out of the wall, tumbling to the ground to land with his head prootruding up from the ground with his body hanging below. He blinked up towards Red, "I thought the correct phrase included eggs, not applesauce."

He frowned, his confusion melting away to a serious face, "If I stopped trying so hard I wouldn't be having any fun. No one understands the idea of living in the moment and simply having fun anymore. If I stopped trying, I'd be normal and boring. You, though, you're the interesting one, trying so very hard at being boring and uninteresting." The age seemed to melt away as his smile returned, "Egg on your face, silly. It's only funny because its not actually eggs. I think...never can really tell."

From stuck in the floor to sitting on the counter next to the pitcher of water he seemed a changed man. Sure, he was still goofy as hell and really didn't give a ********, but he'd gained a mischevious streak. This could easily be noticed first and foremost by the jar of applesauce held over Red's head the moment he appeared, promptly dumping its contents onto her. Without skipping a beat he continued, "You're still doing it, trying so hard. Be less uninteresting and maybe you'll actually be fun to be around. Well, except for being covered in applesauce, but thats just for ambiance."

Almost boiling with rage she reached out as though to strangle him, holding her rigid right arm still as she collected herself and melted away. From kitsune to puddle, she became nothing but a mess of water and applesauce, removing herself from the mushy foodstuff before becoming her normal self again. She wanted to hurt him in so many ways she couldn't even fathom them all.

"I don't have a problem with normal life," she began calmly. "Not everything has to be 'interesting' or 'fun' for me. I'm quite content with who and what I am, and if you don't like it go lodge your a** back in that wall!" By now her voice had risen a bit, as though ensuring he could hear unless he purposely ignored her.

"Or if you'd like, I can freeze the blood in your veins and SNAP EACH AND EVERY LIMB LIKE A TREE BRANCH!!" The last two syllables came out as shrieks as tiny shards of ice filled the room, hanging in the air maliciously. If he tried anything else like that previous applesauce stunt, she wouldn't stop until his head really was removed from his body and mounted.

As though she were dealing with a child, she expected more applesauce and this time set up a thin barrier of ice around her, particularly above her head. Each clump of slop that fell before her face only ground at her nerves more and more until she finally was willing to test his claim that nothing she tried would cripple him. Therefore a thin spike behind him, out in the bar, raced for the back of his neck, aiming for his spinal cord.

She had dealt with gunmen before. The fact that she was staring down a barrel didn't phase her. Not seeing it coming though pissed her off. What the hell exactly was this guy's deal? He wasn't nearly as much an a** the first time they met. Knowing she had lost though, she turned the rest of the ice in the room, except the umbrella above her head, into vapor yet again. Some of it though, had become frost inside the barrel and around the trigger. Almost certain she couldn't dodge bullets yet, she wasn't taking chances with him. His head was more ******** up than hers.
