Five Pies Flying // Accidental Voice // AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[flynfruitpies]

[It starts off with silence. And continues with it. The only thing that can be heard is the occasional gust of wind.]

[And then there's a rustling, of loose cloth. A little voice carries itself across the communicator.]

You're outside.

Hello, River. [An older man chuckles softly.] My preference is to meditate outside.

Gyatso. [a beat.] It's not

[flynfruitpies]

[Here, have another roar.] Aang, no! S-Stay where you are!

[flynfruitpies]

You musn't, Aa-- [He's interrupted by a violent thud. Now what that thud actually was....]

[Metal scraping along the ground; this being is not just flesh. It's coming at her at the same speed that she's coming at it. Little hands are suddenly looking more dangerous with a gun in them, and as she's sliding underneath it the bullets are going for the more exposed neck. But she's expecting it to fall; when it doesn't, it's going for Gyatso again.

Gorramit.]

[It is all Gyatso can do to let out a shout and jump out of the way when the monster swings a claw at him.

The Verdugo doesn't get him. Except its claw catches the back of his robe. The momentum throws him off his feet. His robe rips, and he falls back to the ground, the blue line tattoo'd down his back revealed for a moment. The next movement, he's rolling, and just after, he's rushing onto his feet again.

There isn't time to think. With wide eyes, he's stumbling away again.]

River! Run!

[Yeah, not expecting that. Is she softer? Has she changed? The drills and the training and the knives they put her under - ]

Gyatso!

[No time anymore. She launches herself at the exoskeleton, hands and feet finding purchase on the ridges of the back of its armor. The gun goes off again, and again. The tail is rearing up but she sees it without looking, and she is stepping up on the shoulder, and off.

The creature's sharp tail jabs itself in the spot where she just was, and it shrieks with anger and pain. River is soaring across the air in front of it - grand jeté - before twisting and landing crouched.

Bang, bang, bang.]

[Gyatso backs up and away from the fight, looking for something that can help. Some sort of blunt weapon. A pipe or a tree branch or anything. But there's nothing, and it's all he can do to stare in awe as River fights.

He didn't know River could fight like that.]

[WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS WHEN I'M STUCK INSIDE KDSFJDGKF]

GYATSO!

[flynfruitpies]

Meryl, I-- [Gyatso cuts himself off with a shout.] This is kind of a bad time...!

[forged_anew]

Gyatso!

[flynfruitpies]

[You don't even get words, only a shout.]

[forged_anew]

Gyatso, where are you?!

[because he's grabbing his swords and he's on his way D: ]

[flynfruitpies]

Out front. Zuko, be--

[He interrupts himself, probably to dodge something. FFFF.]

--careful!

[adventlead]

Are you hurt yet?

[flynfruitpies]

Not yet!

[Fight noises!]

[adventlead]

How about now?

[flynfruitpies]

Just swift enough!
