In the Lioness's Den Belinda's Bedroom

Fred slips into the room unseen, and he somehow keeps from peeking into the bathroom the way he desperately wants to. Reaching the bedside table, he opens it up and finds... that Belinda, or someone else, must have moved his father's gun. It's not there. What he does find, as he hears his stepmother humming warmly above the sound of the water running, is a pair of battery-powered vibrators...
OOC:
You're not up in the action yet, just wanted to complete the failure to find the gun. :)

The Basement and the Back Yard

The sound of Lily's pool cue striking the diminutive axe-wielder on the side of the head is sickening, and it's impossible to deal if the crunch comes from the splintering of wood or bone. The figure goes down in a heap on the back patio, like they've been shot through the head with a bolt gun used to kill steer. They end up face down and unmoving as the shadowy figure that had been coming at them steps into the light and throws back his head in laughter.

Marco Corbitt
"Aw, fuck yeah!" Marco Corbit yells at Lily, throwing her a pair of devil horns. "You fuckin' smoked that dude!"

Bending down, the tall teen pulls the hatchet from the prone figure's nerveless fingers and then brandishes it menacingly, holding it up in the air gleefully.

Lily barely knows this guy -- a senior deadbeat from last year who barely graduated, maybe? He looks juiced on something, and it's hard to tell what he's going to do with that axe as the second figure he was with starts to also come closer...
OOC:
Zach and Emily to go. Aaron holds station and Wendy has vacated the room.

Somehow, despite how much Zach hates Marco and is afraid of him, knowing who is attacking bolsters him. He squeezes Aaron's hand reassuringly and throws him a quick look, then steps forward and up next to Lily. "Marco, what the hell?" he asks the older boy. "You think this is funny? Yes, you got your laughs. Hah hah. Now you should leave before the police get here." He doesn't know that any police are called yet, but it's still a valid point to make. "Someone already got hurt and as the only adult here, I don't think they'll be happy with you." He usually wouldn't speak that way to Marco, but Lily with her pool cue next to him gives him some extra courage. "Besides, don't you have some underage girls to creep on?"

Emily having pushed the bathroom door open, hears a thunk that she thinks comes from the back patio since she also can hear a few muffled voices. Male voices apart from her friends.

Fucking hell where are the cops!

Out she steps, furtively, with only the toilet bowl brush as a weapon gripped tightly in her right hand and creeps toward the patio stopping short of the door.

"What the fuck? Marco? And who's that?" she asks, pointing at the body on the patio floor. "The cops are on the way, fuckhead."

The Basement and the Back Yard


Marco Corbitt
"Cops?!" Marco says, a little taken aback when suddenly Zach appears through the door as well, and then there's that Emily girl, armed with... a toilet brush?

"Cops!?" he repeats, before adding, "GOOD!"

Tossing the hatchet aside with a clank, he points to the unconscious or perhaps dead body on the patio. "This fuckin' psycho prick was about to crash your little party and murder the fuck out of you. I was just going to help, but chick here with the pool cue fuckin' wrecked that guy!"

Rose Tidwell
The second shadowy figure comes forward then, revealing that it's none other than... Rose Tidwell, Zach's sister!

"Is everyone okay?" she asks with concern, moving closer to her brother. The wet weather has her hair plastered to her head and her windbreaker hugging those generous curves Fred was eyeing earlier.
OOC:
I think we're out of combat rounds! Both groups can post freely. Under Lily gets pool cue happy, in which case she has "The Drop" on both Rose and Marco.
Apr 9, 2023 6:11 am
Zach does not buy Marco's story for one second, so when Rose reveals herself, he turns to her. "What the hell, Rosie?" he asks her. "Is this still about me getting you grounded? I said I was sorry. But this is insane. Getting Marco and whoever to attack me and my friends with a fucking axe?" He moves over to the unconscious body and pulls the hood off their head to see if he recognizes someone, maybe one of Rose' friends.

Lily brandishes the cue at the others, caught up on the moment for a second. Then the others arrive, and she takes a second to try catch view of Wendy. Wet and rain begin to coat her hair and face.

When Zach initial goes to move, Lily says:

"Wait!" but he goes on, and so Lily stands over the body, cue raised, ready to strike if the figure lunges.

Fred comes back down, his hands empty, his face flushed.

He takes the stares down three at a time and then sees the door open, and some kind of fight going on. My friends!
Swallowing his breath, he runs out to join them.
Apr 10, 2023 3:13 am
As things simmer out in the yard, in the drizzle, Emily, Wendy and Aaron come to the doorway as well. Any immediate threat of, say, being axe-murdered, seems to have passed... but they can tell tensions are still running high.

Rose Tidwell
Rose shrugs at her brother and comes to his side as he checks on whoever it was that Lily brained. "I snuck out. I heard you asking mom and dad to come over here tonight and I knew you guys would be having fun of some kind, so I asked Marco for a lift. That's all. We were just going to crash your little get-together. I have no idea who this is."

Marco nods and stands back a little as Lily exclaims the way she does, then raises her cue again... as Zach pulls back the hood and reveals the unconscious face of one of Fred's sisters. It's Debby, and there's blood on the patio beneath her bruised face.

"Oh holy shit!" Rose says, and that's when Fred arrives...
Apr 10, 2023 3:23 am
Freddie's heart literally stops. He can't breathe as he sees Debby's face. After everything he's done to protect her and Sarah, to see her destroyed by ...

And that's when he sees Marco.

In a rage, he attacks the older boy. Murder is on his mind.
Apr 10, 2023 4:09 pm
"Good?" she blurts out at Marco. Something wasn't making sense. She wasn't surprised to see Rosie of course but who was the ... dead guy?

"Zach, shut the fuck up. You guys can fight later. Who the hell is this?" Emily sees Lilly's bloody cue about the same time Zach pulls back the hood and her eyes go wide with shock.

"Holy fuck!" and then Freddie goes for Marco. She lunges toward Freddie, hoping to grab him somehow ...

OOC:
Drawing initiative cards for Marco and Fred. Next round, anyone wishing to join the fray in one way or another will also draw.

Edit: you're up first, Freddie -- take your action, and since Marco wasn't expecting a bum rush, I'll rule that he's Distracted. Not Vulnerable though, because tensions and high and everyone is more or less humming... (So his actions are at -2 this turn.)

Freddie stream rolls or if the house into the rain, lowering his shoulder and driving it into Marco's abs. "You psycho, no one hits my sister!"

Lily jumps back, with a shriek, as the boy comes rushing towards Marco.

"Fred, no!" she tries.

"I hit her! I hit her!" she protests uselessly as chaos erupts. She looks around at the others, panic starting to build inside.

"I hit… her. You all saw her, right?!"

OOC:
Marco's Parry is 5, so Fred hits and Aces after spending the Benny, which gives him a raise. Is this an unarmed attack, Fred? If so, that's STR damage, + 1d6 from the raise, I believe...
Apr 11, 2023 7:19 am
Freddy's rage is unchecked even as he hears Lily's cry.

Rolls

Fred Solomon: Strength plus raise - (1d6+1d6, RA)

(3) + (64) = 13

Apr 11, 2023 7:29 am
OOC:
Oh my. Marco's Toughness is also 5, so that's two raises... that's 2 Wounds + Shaken, which really means Fred gets to take out Marco however he wants. Likely knocking him cold, but it's up to Fred.

Similarly, Lily, you get to decide what happened to Debby when you took her out. Is she dead? Does she need to be hospitalized? Or what she 'just' knocked out?

Either way, after Q posts Fred's whomping of Marco, we're out of combat rounds and Emily gets to tackle him and make out with him for a bit as everyone watches uncomfortably...
Apr 11, 2023 7:38 am
Freddie's shoulder connects with Marco's solar plexus. He hears a rib crack as the tough hits the ground, momentarily unable to breathe. They roll across the wet grass, demolishing a small perennial garden and banging into a tree.

Marco gasps emptily before finally gaining some air from his spasming diaphragm. He rolls to his side bile leaking from his mouth.

Freddie gets up, ready to wallop the boy into oblivion, but sees the threat is out of him. He turns back and sees Debby lying there in the rain. Was it Lily? That makes no sense, why would she say that. It had to have been Marco.

Lily shrinks back when the enraged Fred turns around. She’s still holding the cue, but looks uncertain.

"I hit… she had the… axe…"

Which Marco had taken…

"And… and the trowel." she utters, as she stoops down to show him it in her hand.

"You all saw her! She was… there."

Lily looks at the face, and then the blood.

But… why?…

She tosses the trowel aside, and then puts an ear to the girl’s mouth, checking to hear from breathing.

"She’s okay. She’s… breathing. She’s… why was she out here?!"
Apr 11, 2023 12:34 pm
Zach stares at the scene, frozen in surprise until it's already seemingly all over. Marco is lying toppled over in the grass, Lily is checking Debby's lifesigns. "Someone call an ambulance!" he shouts into the house, to no one in particular. Then he turns to Rose. "Are you hurt, Rosie?" He doesn't think she is, but right now, he's too pumped full of adrenaline to be sure. Once she tells him she's fine, he takes her by the arm and leads her over to Marco. He can't stand Marco, but Zach still won't leave him lying there unattended. "Did Marco tell the truth?" he asks his sister as they're moving. "I won't be mad if you were trying to prank us, I promise."
Once they reach Marco where he's lying, Zach goes down next to him. "Marco?" he asks. "Are you alright?" He checks him over to see his condition, whether he can stand or is even conscious.
