Where Kitchen, hallways between there and Sam Winchester's floor, outside in front of the mansion
When: Bendy time to Friday evening (enjoy the benefits of bendytime?)
Rating: R (violence, language, multiple character deaths)
Summary: Faith finally snaps, enjoying a killing spree and some of the characters rally to stop her.
Notes: This log post will act as the main action post for the immediate mini!plot. This just means that all of the things we've discussed in email should probably occur here, in the threads I've set up, to make everything easy to handwave and bendytime. If any of you want to play out anything else, feel free to make another thread or your own post, however you wanna do it. If you can OOCly link back to this post, or the corresponding thread(s) when you post to the characters' journals, that would rock but it's just a suggestion to keep everyone on the same page. Feel free to melee tag at all of these threads, and vague it up whenever details that haven't been played out happen. If I missed anything as always, let me know and let's go have some fun!
the Story:
The last snap is tiny; like the subtle sound she makes when stepping on a twig out in the forest. Only the forest doesn't help her escape anymore. Faith's gone blind, and she roams through the mansion looking for something to stop the thoughts in her head. Waking up out of a fucking video game that she hadn't even realized wasn't normal had been just another mind fuck, enough to push her over that last little edge she'd been hanging onto. Electricity hums through her muscles, but another fight isn't going to cut it; bruises only hurt so long, broken bones set and heal too quickly to distract from the real pain. She stinks of smoke and alcohol and it doesn't help anymore, doesn't cover up the smell of blood on her hands. So why keep trying to escape?

She rocks her weight back on one foot, arms crossed over her chest while she glares down at him. She's not into killing innocent people even if she does decide to greet his question with bitchy sarcasm.

"Spread peace, love and joy. Let her know that she can be forgiven for her sins. Do I look like a fucking priest?"

Either he doesn't get the sarcasm, or he totally ignores it. It's hard to tell, because his expression doesn't change much, except that he looks a bit more tired. He shrugs.

"Just not sure the point of locking her in a room was so someone could come and kill her."

Despite his words, he's fairly certain her wounds would kill her eventually if not treated.

"Sport," Ruby smirks as she starts toward the door with the intent on opening it. She needs to do this now with the image of Sam cold, dead and bloody in her head. She needs to do it with his blood still on her otherwise she'll remember she likes Faith and those soft human emotions will make her feel like shit. Not that they'll stop her from killing Faith. Bitch knew the score but she'll feel bad later if she doesn't keep her eye on the prize so to speak.

Ryohei steps into her path, blocking the door, but only looks at her for a moment before turning and opening it himself. He's still too shell shocked by everything that's happened today to be able to argue with Ruby anymore. It's pretty obvious she isn't going to be talked down, and he guesses--although he has no firm basis for it, since he doesn't know her--that she isn't going to give him any explanation.

He precedes her into the room. He's uncertain what he thinks he's accomplishing by being there, but he thinks he probably should be, just in case.

In case of what he has no idea.

Her breath hitches in her ragged throat when Faith looks up and sees the blond enter. Faith's gaze slides to Ryohei and her eyebrows lift in surprise to see him accompanying her executioner.

A weak smile grows on her face after she licks some of the blood away from her lips. Faith struggles to get herself up right, sliding up against the wall so she can tilt her head back, look Ruby dead in the eyes.

"Sup Blondie? You missed all the fun." Yeah. She's that stupid.

Ruby's answering greeting is a massive punch to Faith's jaw. She grits her teeth and squares her jaw. If she were entirely human it would be to keep from crying. As it is, Ruby's not really sure she can cry. She just gets angry.

"Anyone but him and I would have defended your ass."

Just so she knows where they stand.

Ryohei looks between the two of them, not totally sure what's going on but able to guess well enough. He feels like he's intruding on something.

"...If you're going to kill her, just kill her." He's tired and off balance, fighting his instinct to help Faith instead of let Ruby kill her. Despite how much he loves to fight, he'd like there to be no violence for just a little while so that he can catch his breath.

Blood spatters out of Faith's mouth, but it's not like those violent fucking movies, where it splatters artfully on the wall and carries with it an inherent symbolism. Mostly it dribbles down her chin, covering her face and neck. Faith inhales sharply with the pain, and it's an effort for her to turn her head back again.

She doesn't look at Ruby this time and doesn't reply with a retort opting to focus back on the door. The only sign that she hears Ryohei speak is a twitch. She so desperately wants to die, but every bone in her body fights against it.

It's a waste. The whole entire fucking thing is a waste but it's not like it's something that can be redeemed or undone. Ruby glances over at Ryohei then back at Faith. It's painfully obvious what Faith wants and honestly? Ruby understands it as well as anyone probably ever will. She steps in closer to Faith, one hand going to the back of the brunette's neck even though Ruby doubts she'd have to restrain her anymore than she already is. She leans so close her forehead almost touches Faith's.

"Give us a kiss, Cherry Pie. For old times sake." Her lips are almost brushing Faith's when she slams her knife up underneath's Faith's chin, angled back. She holds it for a second, little tiny moment frozen and she watches the light in the slayer's eyes go out. Just like she watched Sam go away. She pulls the knife out, lets the body slump to the ground and stalks out of the cell.

Probably not the best idea to approach her.

Ryohei's whole body jolts as Ruby stabs Faith, killing her. He stares at Faith's body, seemingly unaware that Ruby's left again. Only half conscious of his actions, he kneels by the body and removes the restraints--Faith will come back in a day or two, and she'll need to be able to move around when she does.

It's slowly starting to dawn on him that he just let someone be killed--it doesn't matter what she's done, she's still a person--and the thought makes him feel sick. Moving dazedly, he stands back up and leaves the room, shutting the door behind him.
