Chrumblr RP animatic outline, to the song Fool's Gold by Briston Maroney

[Instrumental]

“Fool’s Gold”, then below in smaller letters, “A Chrumblr RP animatic”. Then when the guitar comes in, it shows the gang all showing up one at a time and meeting

I hate to say it, but I think I'm getting too old

Nightwing, Tired™, getting between Peter and Arrio

The conversations that my mind won't even let me hold

Maddox being confused about Nia's messages

Your attention isn't worth my weight in fool's gold

Peter sticking his tongue out at Arrio

Wanna let go, can I let go?

Raoul asking Maddox to help him sleep (to Maddox's surprise)

Started talking and you couldn't look in my eyes

Nia telling Arrio about the messages

Told me stories 'bout you drinking on the fourth of July

Arrio telling Nia about Jupiter City

Every little truth, it turned into a big lie

Matt explaining how he met Peter, puts a hand on his shoulder and Peter tugs his sleeve further over his web shooters

Why do I try? Why do I try?

Maddox almost outing a panicking Peter as Spiderman

If I hold my breath 'til I fall asleep

Christine playing with Raoul's hair, his head in her lap

Will it be there when I wake?

Nightwing, Nia, and Venatrix coming out of the forest to stand at the treeline

Maybe we can take some time

Maddox offering Arrio his hand

Move out West where we can do this right

The gang walking through town and finding the inn

Broken clock still keeps the time

Maddox talking about his amnesia/explaining how he knows Strike

Who says I've got to stay in line?

Arrio and Peter initial confrontation

I'm so sick of these city lights

Nightwing looking out the inn window at the unfamiliar town

Everything here's black and white

Trixi and Strike arguing with Arrio on the rooftops

I don't know where I went wrong

Nia finding out her shooting wasn't helping

But I surely did tonight

Nia panicking after shooting Matt

It just me or is this music playing too loud?

Nia tapping, Matt rubbing his ears

All the kids dressed in black, really getting me down

Peter pushing past Arrio, who then says he’ll stay back from the mission

Mother warned me about hanging with the wrong crowd

Nia panicking when Maddox tries to use the force on her

Gotta get out, gotta get out

Nia and Trixi running through the woods with Sploto poking out of Nia's bag

Don't give a fuck if you intended to ignore me

The kids having their heart-to-heart on the floor of Trixi and Nia's room

Wish that I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep

Raoul and Christine panicking in the hallway being comforted by the other adults

That's your best friend, and she's passed out in the backseat

Strike sitting on the edge of Maddox's bed where he's laying

She needs you more than me

Peter staying awake with Arrio, the fire butterflies floating around the ceiling

If I fall asleep with my hands held tight

Nia and Trixi in bed hugging

They'd be there when I wake

Strike hugging Maddox as he has nightmares

And maybe we can take some time

Trixi going to stand next to Arrio at the inn

Move out West where we can do this right

Nia, Trixi (in fox form), Matt, and Raoulstine sitting in the grass talking (during the interrogation)

Broken clock still keeps the time

(Same scene but focus on Raoulstine) Christine smiles sadly and takes Raoul's hand

Who says I've got to stay in line?

Raoul yelling about not keeping secrets

I'm so sick of these city lights

Dick takes off his mask for everyone to see

Everything here's black and white

Strike making a light-hearted comment at the inn, Arrio misinterpreting it and getting annoyed

And she's calling me to bed

Christine and Raoul in their room

But I will not sleep tonight, mm

Arrio awake in the corner after Peter's fallen asleep

I have a tendency to overthink in my head

Peter getting a second hug from Strike

Let's just listen to some music and go back to bed

Matt entering his room and finding Dick already asleep

Probably didn't hear a single word that I said

Arrio looking at Nia knowingly and her ignoring his look and just smiling

Just forget it until the mornin’

The gang eating breakfast, then stepping outside and finding themselves on the island (sans Maddox)

@chrumblr-whumblr day 13: panic attack

wc: 356 | warnings: swearing | characters: Matt Murdock (pov), Dick Grayson

post-whump RP fallout!!! idk if this reallly counts as a panic attack but it is a breakdown ig 😭 chrumblr rp girlies <3 @ablatheringblatherskite @choasuqeen

—

Matt could hear crying come from inside the room, and hovered with his hand on the doorknob. He'd heard Dick go in earlier, and he'd sounded fine, if with a slightly elevated heartbeat. The sobs had started about a minute ago, and Matt had followed them here.

He decided to go in (besides, for all he knew, Dick had already heard his footsteps and knew he was there). "Dick?" A sniffle, then a scuffing sound. "Matt. What- What're you doing here?" "I'm blind, not oblivious, Dick." He kept his tone gentle, crouching in front of the other man. "Are you okay?" A pause. Trembling breaths. "No, not really." Matt sat next to him silently, and they remained that way for a while.

"I'm just- I tried to protect Nia and Raoul from those guys and I couldn't and I just ended up making things worse and it's all my fault." The words tumbled out, tripping over each other and breaking the short silence, and Matt put an arm around him. "It's not your fault. There was nothing you could've done," he affirmed. "I could've shut the fuck up! But no, I had to go and talk about my family, and they heard it, and now Raoul and Nia have to remember that forever because of me." Another sniffle. "For someone who protects people each and every day, I'm not doing very good at it right now."

Matt shook his head. "No. Listen, you did the best you could in an impossible situation. You tried to protect them and couldn't, but you did your best, and that's all you could have done. It's not your fault." Dick didn't reply, but after a moment, Matt felt him move closer and lean against him.

"Thanks, Matt. I… I don't think that's all true, but. It does help. So thanks." "Anytime, kid." He heard a soft puff of air. A scoff, or laugh. "I'm three years younger than you are." "I know." Matt smiled, and Dick nudged him.

"But for real, though. You sound like my dad." "Yeah, I'm not that old." "Hmm." "Dick!"

Now that was definitely a laugh.

@chrumblr-whumblr day 11: on the run

wc: 1217 | warnings: sprained ankle, being chased and shot at by battle droids, mention of burn injury | characters: Peter Parker (pov), Arrio Mckay, Dick Grayson

the boys get isekai'd into the clone wars tee hee chrumblr rp girlies <3 @ablatheringblatherskite @youjustfeelthemforever @choasuqeen

“You’re gonna have to run faster than that, man,” Peter panted, and Arrio glared back at him. “I am running at the same speed you are!” “Both of you, save your breath.” Dick’s reproof came through gritted teeth; they looked back in unison to see him trip and almost fall, but then he caught himself and kept going, onward through the jungle at a limping run. Peter and Arrio swapped a glance, shut up and kept running.

Moonlight glowed brighter through a hole in the trees ahead, and Peter expected to burst out into a clearing. But then his spider-sense flared, and he grabbed Arrio just in time to keep him from going over the cliff that suddenly loomed below them. “That was clo-” Unable to stop himself, Dick slammed into them, and for a moment they teetered at the edge, about to go over, before Dick grabbed his grapple gun, Peter shot a web to the nearest tree, and they pulled themselves away from the precipice. All three stumbled back towards the tree line, and Dick leaned against the trunk of one, grimacing.

“Are you okay?” “I’d be better if the others were here. And if my ankle was in perfect working condition,” he replied glumly, reaching down to rub it. Arrio growled in frustration. “I knew we shouldn’t have asked those things for directions. The one time I do stop to do that, and we get shot at and chased through the jungle.” “You knew? I was the one who said maybe we shouldn’t ask the evil looking robots if they knew which way our friends were!” “And I was the one who overrode you.” “Oh, please, like your vote alone is enough to override me.” “It was two to one! That’s what outvote means, Peter.” “Yeah, but-” “Boys.” Arrio and Peter swapped a glance, shut up and turned to see Dick frowning at them. “This isn’t helping.

“We’re stranded in a strange jungle with no one around for miles except for those robots. I get that you were right, Peter, but you were still outvoted. And Arrio, you weren’t the only one who voted against him. It was the majority opinion and we went with that, so” — he pinched the bridge of his nose with his other hand — “can we please stop arguing now and get a move on before the robots catch up?”

Peter and Arrio looked from him to each other, then nodded.

“Yeah.” “Okay.” “Good.”

The word was barely out of his mouth before they heard the a modulated voice coming from behind them. “Freeze, Republic dogs!” The trio looked from each other to the lone robot and back.

Peter crossed his arms, tilting his head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, but we’re not any of those things. Which we tried to tell you when we asked for directions-” The robot kept its gun trained on them as the leaves and branches rustled, and the others in its squad emerged from the trees.

“I don’t think they care, Peter.” Arrio’s posture was tense; he moved furtively in front of Dick, his ring starting to glow like the embers of a fire. “I got that much.” He was about to start backing away from the robots when his spider-sense went off again, and he pushed Arrio to the ground. “DUCK!” “Open fire!” The robots started to shoot red lasers at them, and Peter had to pivot midair to avoid all of the bolts, catching a glimpse of Dick twisting into a somersault. He lunged to the side as the onslaught continued, webbing up one of the robots and swinging it around to crash into the others. They went down in a clatter of metal, and Peter yelled, "STRIKE!"

Arrio's face popped into his view as the other boy pushed himself up off the ground. "Strike? Where?!" "Bowling. Not our friend," Peter explained tersely as he shoved him back down. "Stop shoving me!" "Then stop getting in the path of those lasers!" "Boys! Can we-" They both watched as Dick flipped again to avoid a crimson bolt, stumbling as he landed on his bad foot, and Peter felt the heat of one on his face when it zipped by. His gaze followed it like the world had turned to slow-mo, and his stomach gripped in a tight vice as he watched it thud into Dick's shoulder, and the vigilante went down.

"Dick!" Their voices rose in a single cry, and Arrio and Peter shared a look and nod, then turned to glare at the robots. Arrio's fire shed a warm yellow-white glow on the scene as he threw fireballs at their enemies and Peter flung them at each other and the ground. Some of the robots wailed as they flew off the cliff, voices fading the further they disappeared into shadow.

Peter whirled to web two of them together, and his webs flew through Arrio's fire on the way, lighting up and binding the robots to the flames and each other. "Whoa. Not what I intended, but we'll take it." Arrio shrugged in agreement, and they dispatched the last few metal soldiers together. Only when they all lay sparking on the ground did the duo turn and rush to their friend's side. Peter supported Dick as he moved to sit up, hand pressed to his arm.

"Nnh. Great job, guys." "Are you okay?" He nodded, but the pained set of his jaw told a different story, as did the bloody, burnt flesh of his shoulder. "I'll be fine. We should get a move on, before any more of them show up." He stood and winced as he tested his bad ankle. “You shouldn’t walk on that,” Peter told him anxiously. “It might make the sprain worse.” “I don’t think we have much of a choice.” His face was grim, and he nodded towards the dim lights of a settlement in the distance. “If we can get there, we might be able to get some help that won’t shoot at us. I’ll survive,” he added at both Peter’s and Arrio’s worried looks. “It’s our best option,” Arrio admitted, and Peter nodded reluctantly. “Outvoted again.” He put a hand on his forehead dramatically.

Dick broke into a grin at that. “Well, maybe one of these days you’ll have a good idea.” “I had a good idea! Don’t talk to the evil robots.” “…A good idea that everyone shares.” His smile softened the blow of his words, and he limped towards the lights, the first few step out of thousands it would take to get there.

“Yeah, Peter. Maybe someday I’ll even agree with you.” Arrio smirked as he followed. “You wish you could agree with me.” “You wish you could get Dick to agree with you.” “You wish you had superstrength.” “You wish you could make fire butterflies.” “You wish you could shoot webs.” “You wish you could-” “Boys.” They looked forward to see Dick turn back to them with a playfully resigned sigh. “I’m glad you two are getting along better, but I really hope you’re not planning to do this the whole trip. Because we have a long way to go.”

Peter and Arrio looked at each other and grinned. “No promises,” they chimed in unison.

ALRight bestie, can i get uhhh context??? i only know like 2 guys from the incorrect quotes yall are messing around with, who are these guys???? <- wants to know how to picture em lol

also been so fun readiing the shenanigans hahaha

OKAY SO

Uhhh Chrumblr server RP got kinda out of hand haha and now we've got this whole plot and an ever-growing cast of characters that currently consists of

Nia Rosewood - Chaos's oc, everyone's little sister (one is younger than her and that's irrelevant haha)

Venatrix - Vixen and Chaos's shared oc, angry murder girl.

Nightwing, aka Dick Grayson - The big brother, nobody knows his true identity but they get why he's hiding it.

Grillface and Sploto - Kirbe's ocs. Creachers. Sploto is a very cat-like in manner kirbe and Grillface is a thief of a waddle dee.

Arrio McKay, aka Spellblazer - You know the Best Boy (>:D). Did his best to avoid letting people know he was a superhero but ultimately failed when he set his hands ablaze and threatened to light Peter on fire (they don't get along).

Peter Parker, aka Spiderman - Classic Gen-Z, opposes murder (as do a few others), a certified little shit. Doing his best to hide his superhero identity. Hates Arrio as much as Arrio hates him (LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT PETER CAUSED THE INCITING INCIDENTS OF THEIR INITIAL CONFRONTATION).

Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil - Might as well be Peter's dad. Blind but has heightened senses. Helping Peter keep their cover as heroes.

Lieutenant Strike - Moob's Star Wars oc. No-nonsense clone, extremely confused with all these Earthlings. (Why don't they know what a holo-map is??? Are they stupid???) Perhaps not as perpetually angry as she seems to be.

Raoul de Chagny - Terrified sobbing French man who loves his wife.

Christine Daaé - Terrified-but-better-at-hiding-it French (actually Swedish tho) woman who loves her husband. Often tries to stop fights between Peter and Arrio, usually fails (by no fault of her own - those two are wild).

(Note from blog author: Raoul and Christine are under the protection of the entire group. Hurt them and suffer the consequences.)

Maddox Darling - Christi's Star Wars oc. Due to time shenanigans I don't understand (lmao), is friends with Strike in the future. Strike is extremely confused.

Basically the plot is these characters all showed up in a small town in the middle of nowhere with no memory of how they got there, and now they're trying to figure out where they are and how to get back to their respective universes without killing each other (looking at Peter and Arrio). Also some of them are starting to realizing that they may or may not be fictional, but those who were elsewhere at the time of the discovery still have no idea.

So uh that's basically it I think? It's kind of a lot but we're having a blast lmao. People keep joining and adding characters and it's really chaotic and fun haha.

Also, completely unrelated but WE GOT ANOTHER ONE BOYS (you know what I'm talking about heheh)

#chaos is our unofficial but unchallenged director lmao #we appreciate her very much #*looks directly at Chaos* (i know you're reading this) #hehehehehe #my asks #incorrect chrumblr rp #chrumblr rp shenanigans #berryblu fren 🍓🫐

Peter: Hey do you think I could fit fifteen marshmallows in my mouth?

Maddox: Peter I love you, but stuff like this really makes me think you’re being a menace to society.

Strike: And a coward, do twenty.

May the Odds (chrumblr whumblr day 9 and 10!)

He was still stuck in that chair when Venatrix disappeared, and Nia screamed. Dick was watching her explain to Matt what happened, as he felt his mind being tugged away. He was losing control. 

Dick started thrashing, yelling “I CAN’T STOP HER.”

Both of them turned towards him, trying to help him. 

“DON’T. STAY AWAY.”

He watched Matt pull Nia back, confused terror on her face. Slowly, he stopped thrashing as his body became not his own. 

The bonds were released, but he wasn’t free. His mouth moved as he tried to stop the words from spilling out. “Pick one of you.”

Matt looked furious, stepping in front. “Let him go.”

He watched his own hand be raised, waving jerkily.

“No.”

There was a whip in front of him, and Dick wanted to be sick. 

“Well if you won’t pick one, I will.” These were not his words. 

“I will do it.” 

“You don’t even know it is.”

“I can guess.”

“Fine then!” Dick didn’t like her tone in his mouth; it tasted rotten. 

“Turn around. Nia, back up.”

She was sobbing, but Matt nodded and she ran away. She was sobbing because of him. 

Matt turned around, and he heard the whip crack once, twice. He was going to be sick after this. 

He watched his arm raise, watched the snap and the welt form after. Again, across the other side. Matt grunted, stumbling. Again, and this time there was blood when the whip came down. Again, Dick wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn’t. He was sorry, he was so sorry- again. 

Nia hadn’t moved from behind him, still sobbing, as Matt took another blow. His back was red all over, shirt torn. Another, and another. 

Then he heard quiet footsteps behind him, and he heard a CRACK against his head as everything went dark.

Arrio: *Mock sorrow* A moment of silence for our dear friend Peter, who sacrificed himself in the name of the bit.

Peter, behind them and being suspended upside down by Maddox using the force: QUIT TELLING EVERYONE IM DEAD!

Strike: *Places a sad hand on Arrio's shoulder* Sometimes I can still hear his voice.

may the odds (chrumblr whumblr day 4)

Trixi was up first, blinking. She looked around quickly, shaking Nia. “We’re back. In the box.”

The other girl woke with a start, grabbing Trixi and pulling herself up. “No. Why?”

“I don’t know.”

She watched Nia walk around quickly, looking for something, anything, different. It was the same 6 foot box, the same blood on the floor, the same stupid light. She knew it was fruitless, Nia did too, but she tried anyway. Just to do something. Just to not feel helpless. Because if she was helpless then she couldn’t protect Nia and if she got hurt then she failed her job. If she couldn’t protect them then what happened to their parents would- she glared at her head. Shut up.

Nia turned back to her, panic in her eyes, and Trixi steeled herself.

“What do we do?”

“First, we rest. I know you’re hurting.”

“It’s not as bad as-”

“Shut up. Sit.” She got a glare for her troubles, but Nia came and tucked herself under her arm. “We’re going to be ok. Take a breath.” She breathed with her, kissing the top of her head softly.  “I’m here, and we’ll get out. Can you see where Maddox is?”

“No its- being weird again.”

She sighs. “How so?”

“It keeps moving too fast. Like he's jumping from one side of the world to the other. Why’d you choose him anyway?”

“He’s the only name I could remember.” She rolls her eyes. Nia goes quiet, and she does too, closing her eyes against the memories. She could protect them, they’d be ok.

A few minutes later she shoots them open again. Matt’s in front of her, walking through a door that disappears as soon as he’s through it. She curses, waking Nia. “How did you get here?”

He stops short. “Trixi? Where have you been? Nia’s with you, right?”

“I am.” Nia’s voice is soft, and he can hear her tapping. He never thought it would be a good thing to hear it again. 

“We’re stuck.”

“How?”

Venatrix takes a deep breath, and sighs. “I don’t know. We’re in a concrete box. It’s small, with no windows or doors. I don’t remember how I got here, I just showed up. I’m pretty sure it’s the same for Nia.”

Nia nods, then says softly “Yeah, and your legs were cut up. She doesn’t know how that happened either.”

He was silent for a long moment, and then asked quietly “Cut up?”

Trixi looks at Nia, and she nods, hugging her. “Her calves were…cut across. The right one was almost gone. I stitched them up, with a medkit we were-” she pauses, thinking of the right word. “- given. They look like they’re healing much faster than normal though. How long have you been looking for us?”

“You’ve been gone for about three hours, Venatrix for two. Are you two ok?” His nose twitches as he sits down to their level, voice softer now.

“I think we are.” She looks at Trixi, who nods again. “As ok as we can be. We had to run earlier, there were spikes chasing us, but now we’re st- here again.”

He nods. “How long has it felt?”

Nia takes a stuttered breath, and it was Trixi’s turn. “For me, about two days. Nia, about three.”

He nods again, and they all go silent again. 

“How did you get here?” Trixi repeats

“I walked through a door, while looking for you.”

NIa looked up, blinking. “The rooms bigger”

“What?” All three of them were up, looking at the, yes, now larger room, three chairs sitting around it.

“Go sit please!” The voice was back. 

Matt looks confused, and Nia speaks quickly ”Rooms bigger, there's three chairs in a line to one wall.”

“No.” Trixi’s voice came, steely and angry. 

“Oh? Why not?”

“We don’t need to. Let. Us. Out.”

“Sit!”

“No.”

“Now.” The voice sounded angry too now. 

“No.”

Nia shrieked beside her, holding her arm. Blood was dripping from it, adding to the pile on the floor. 

“Now.”

Trixi clenched her jaw, but let Nia lead her to a chair. Matt sat in another, and Nia went to sit in the last, eyes wide. 

A THWIP and there were restraints around them. Nia screamed, Trixi cursed, Matt grunted. 

“Right then! One of you will fight, the other two can stay.”

“Fight what?” Matt's voice was steady.

Both girls looked at each other, matching the others' panic. They were stuck. Helpless. And they knew what Matt would do. 

“Whatever comes out that door!” In front of them, now, was a small wooden door. “Who wants to go?”

“I will.” And there it was. The other shoe. Trixi took a breath, and repeated, “I will.”

Nia’s eyes were wide, looking from one to the other. 

“No, Venatrix.”

“Why not.” There was fire in her voice.

“You’ve suffered enough.”

“I can take it. I can fight, and you know it.”

“That doesn’t mean you should. You’re at a disadvantage.”

“So are you.”

He took a breath. “I won’t let you. It’s your job to protect Nia, it’s mine to make sure you can. You can’t protect her if you get much more hurt than this.”

“So you’re expecting to get hurt, and you still won’t let me?”

“Yes.”

“No. It’s my job to protect Nia, so let me.”

“You can, by staying safe.”

“You think this,” She looked around, “is safe?”

“Trixi.” It was soft, but even that single word got both their attention. “Let him.”

“No.” She swallowed hard, but shook her head. “I can’t.”

“Please?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Well! Looks like we’ll have to do something else then.” She was back again. All three looked up instinctively, knowing there was nothing there. 

“You two- '' The bonds unlatched on Venatrix and Matt’s chairs, “-fight each other. Whoever wins can pick who fights next.”

“Fine,” Trixi bit out. Matt just nodded. They both stood, walking to opposite edges of the room. Nia pulled her knees up, trying to breathe. She couldn’t shift and she hated it. 

“Nia?” She looked up at Matt’s voice.

“Don’t watch.”

She looked at Trixi, who nodded, and she put her head down, tapping.

Venatrix circled, slowly. She knew Matt could hear her, but she hoped Nia’s tapping would help with that some. Her legs burned already, but she ignored that too. She had no knives, but she didn’t think he knew that. 

She had circled long enough. She rushed at him, kicking once, twice. He dodged, swerving left. Coming behind her, he grabbed her arm and twisted. 

“Give up Venatrix, before you get yourself hurt.”

“No.” She twisted into it, hooking her leg around his and pulling, gritting back her scream. Slipping out, she punched at his stomach. 

“You don’t even have your knives.” 

“Doesn’t matter.” He punched at her, and she dodged, falling to the floor. 

She scrambled to get back up before he could get to her, circling again.

He ran, stepping twice before kicking her in the side. She hit the wall, grunting. 

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“I don’t care.” Running at him, she slipt, falling. Behind them, Nia yelped. 

Her head was forced back, another band across the front of it, holding her in place. 

“NIA” Venatrix rolled to the side, running toward her.

“Stop.”

They all froze, waiting.

“Go closer, and I hurt her again. Keep fighting. She can watch.”

“Let her go.”

“Keep fighting.”

“Let. Her. Go.”

“Do you think she wants to be cut on her arms or her legs?”

A step. “LET HER GO.”

Nia screams as a second cut shows up below the first one.

“NIA” 

“What is happening?”

“She’s-” she chews on the words, before spitting out, “She’s making Nia watch. Us fight. And I can’t go near her. Or she’ll- she’ll cut her. Let her go YOU STUPID-”

Matt runs to Trixi, pulling her back by her hair. “Give it up, now.”

“No.” Grabbing his hand, she pulls them both forward, twisting so he hits the wall. 

Nia gasps behind them, calling out.

Her legs burn, she can feel every nerve screaming at her. She wants to scream herself.

She shoved off him, pulling back. He follows, rushing her, and she rolls to the side, panting.

“Venatrix.”

“No.”

She kicks twice, again, and he stumbles. 

“MATT”

“Vena-”

“No.”

He needs to find a way out of this without hurting her. Nia would never forgive him, he’d never forgive himself, if she got seriously hurt fighting him. She punches, and he grabs her arm. Pulling her with him, he presses her against the wall. 

Nia’s trying not to close her eyes, she doesn’t want to see this, but she’s stuck and she’s scared and they’re fighting and they’re fighting. 

“Give it up.”

“NO.”

He twists her arm, and she growls, shifting to fox, and back again, before circling. Matt can hear her footsteps, going in front, behind, and- he runs. Venatrix dodges, and Matt grabs Nia’s head, holding her.

“Give it up.”

“You. Wouldn’t. Dare.”

He leans forward, tapping play along. Slinging a hand around her neck, he repeats, “Give it up.”

Venatrix takes a breath. “No.”

He squeezes, just enough to tell Nia what he’s doing, and she starts coughing. “Give it up. Please.”

Trixi takes half a step forward, and Nia shakes her head, eyes wide. “Please don’t.”

“Remember what she did earlier.” His voice is different. It’s threatening, and he hates it.

Nia’s tapping gets faster as Venatrix reaches for knives that aren’t there, hesitating. “Let her go.”

“Sit down, and I will.” Nia looks up at her, pleading, and she goes, slowly, to her chair. And sits. 

 He pulls away immediately, sighing. The restraints are back on her, he can hear Nia’s tapping and Venatrix’s short, angered breaths. But they’re safe, and that's all that matters.
