Mm...Yaoi on Ice!



Tara: Hey everyone! Welcome back! It’s us again with another OOC blog! So, Today we…..Um….

*Is distracted by Nadia, who appears to be staring intently at something*

Tara: Um...Nadia? I’m pretty sure you’re drooling over there….Are you looking at Yaoi again?

Nadia: hm…? Wad you say? *Hides the Yuri on Ice doujin* ‘N noooo - for god sake, why does everyone think I always obsess over yaoi? I’ve got my sights on something more delicious! Lookie lookie!

*Tara eyes Nadia for a moment, just to make sure the Doujin is definitely not coming back yet, before looking over to see what has Nadia so distracted*

Tara: Ooooh! Is that the menu we were given from True Believers? I’m glad they’re doing that this time. I think we did so well last year we didn’t have enough time to even think about buying food until it had pretty much all gone.

Nadia: Don’t jinx it! Every con’s different. Remember what happened at Mall Con? We didn’t do so well, remember? But, yeah, the menu looks pretty good, but I’ll reserve judgment and my critics till it’s in my gut. Hey, ‘n if all goes tits up, then there’s Mci deez near by ^.^

Tara: Ah, I think that we didn’t do as well at Mall Con because it was a bit of a different atmosphere, since it was….well, in the middle of a shopping mall, rather than it being focused entirely around comics, but I get what you mean. I’ll do my best not to jinx us. I’m hoping that the food is good though and we won't need to fall back onto Mc Donalds. So, is there anything you’re looking forwards to?

Nadia: MONEY! Getting payed mola! That paper! And any YOI doujin I can find, but mainly MONEY!!!!!!!!

Tara ...I meant about the food, dear.

Nadia: Ummm... there are a few of our faves there, like the danish pastries. That alway does well. Also, there have a few east asian meals… that could easily get fucked up. *Cough couch* Tesco, Asda….. Every time you see a stall at London Con that’s not inside with the events, over priced and subpar crap *cough cough* Excuse me, I think I might be coming down with something there.

Tara: Like salt, perhaps?

Nadia: Weeeeeeell, my doctor did say I have a smidge too much in my diet, buuut what does he know :P

Tara: Well, as long as not too much is thrown in this direction, otherwise we’ll be buried in it way before we get to the con! Lol.

Nadia: Pft! Hahaha! Don’t worry, I’ll save it for the con.  Oh! I almost forgot! On the day, we’ll have our top three best cosplays and we’ll show them the post after the event! I’m looking forward to it ^.^

Tara: Yeah, that’s always fun! I mean some people really go all out on cosplays. I totally wish I could do that. Some people make their own costumes so well they look professionally made, too! So I’m always looking forwards to see that! I bet you’ll be looking for the best Sebastian Cosplay, right?

Nadia: As long as I don't see a sim cosplay: the laziest damn cosplay arround!!!!! Jezuz people, go hard or go home!!!! +.+ But no, not this year! It's all about Victor and Yuri/s this year ^.^

Tara: Mind you, I’d have to agree. It’d be pretty awesome to see the Skating cast. If they can do it in character, even better. It’d be funny if we see a Yurio having a go at Victor or a Yuri K and Victor interaction. Though….uh….keeping it PG, of course, cause I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t want security busting down the doors to drag people off for PDA. lol

Nadia: Not that I mind if, it's in character :P But yeah, I get ya. Seriously, I'm both looking forward to and regretting dressing up. I’ll be going as N! Yes, I know, it's an easy but lazy cosplay buuuut it's hella lot better than just having a green diamond over my head *Still not letting it go*

Tara: I’ll admit, I’ve not thought one over for myself this year, but I’m sure I’ll think of something :) I mean if I went as T, considering where T is right now, I have options. Lol

Nadia: go for it.

Tara: We’ll see. I’ll surprise you. Maybe. Lol.

Nadia: Go for it! Would be fun to see you in something other than that hoody this year :P
Oh! I know, we can have ourselves a little photoshoot this year, too! It could be fun.

Tara: Sorry, Monokuma! No evil dis-bear this year. *pets the hoodie* But that could be cool. Assuming we have the time? We might be busy (hopefully!) but it’ll be fun if we can :)

Nadia: Well, if you get there early enough we could :P Remember, I’m gonna be killing 8-9 hours befor it starts. Ariving at midnight TT.TT The things I do for you guys.

Tara: I’ll be sure to give you a bell once I’m there so we can sort things out :) I would have joined you, but, well, work, you know?

Nadia: Hahaha, I know.  Anyway let’s wrap this up, shall we? Remember guys, we’re gonna be at table A3 if you wanna see us. We have a lot planned and a lot of madness for you all. So drop by! Say hi! And spend spend spend!!!!!

Tara: Or, you know, grace us with your wonderful presence so you can have fun with us. Lol ...And maybe let Nadia get her Yuri on Ice fix. Lol

Nadia: UMMMM... YOI doujin…. Now, where did I put that book?

Tara: Since Nadia is distracted by the Yaoi, I’ll see us out. Until next time, Agents!

It's True, Don't You Believe Me?!




Tara: Hey everyone! Welcome back! Today we’re going to be giving you more info about our upcoming con! We mentioned last time that we’ll be attending True Believers again (go check out last time’s post for the when and wheres ^.^), but this time, we’re actually going to point out where you can actually find us at the venue itself

We all got given a pretty handy map that tells us where we’re supposed to be (So we don’t end up sitting on someone’s lap by accident. lol), but we made sure to edit it a little to show you guys our location, instead of needing to look through the list to find us :)



Hopefully it makes sense to you guys as much as it does to me :)

Nadia: Also, pray for us. We’re going to be traveling pretty early just to get down there. ‘N hey, if anyone knows where the nearest 24hr macideez is, I would appreciate it. I’m arriving at, like, midnight and I need a place to escape these cold Jan-Feb nights.

*Dramatic pose, weeping eyes*

But, seriously, it’s gonna be fun, so if you have the time, come down and give us a look! We worked hard on our pilots, Pandora and Dreamwalkers. Also, we’re but poor, lonely artists and we could really use the company! We have our lucky dip ready and waiting!  Celebrations and Thornton's chocies! It could be you taking home the big prize!!! Are you willing to risk it for a chocolate biscuit?

Tara: Well, for a chocolate, anyway. Lol. I don’t think there are any biscuits in celebrations. ;P But the thought still counts! Though the big prize isn’t just chocolate! We have a bunch of different things up for grabs on the dip to go along with the chocs so we hope you’ll give it a go :)

Nadia: So far, we’ve only had one lucky soul win gold! Was quite a shock when it happened - I guess the luck went to the first person of the day! Hahah! Still, was quite a shock when it happened. I wonder if it will happen again this year?

Tara: Always a chance! To use old quotes, ‘It could be you!’ so if you have a pound handy, join in the fun!

Nadia: *Drools over the thought of so much chocolate!* Hm? Oh! Um! So, yeah! We hope you’ll come join in on the fun and enjoy what we have on offer at True Believers! We’ll be live blogging and tweeting like the happy birdies we are! But anyway, it’s been fun.

Both: ‘Til next time, Agents!

First Con of the New Year 2017!



Nadia: Hi guys! We’re back with another OOC post. We actually wanted to talk about our first con for the New Year!!! We’ll be back at TrueBelevers! But I’m not good with details, soooooo, T, take it away!



Tara: Got you covered, N! So, guys, on the 4th of February, we here at TanraStudios will be tabling at True Believers Comic Festival, which will be at Cheltenham Racecourse. We’ve tabled there before, so this will be our second year of doing so. The event starts at 10:30am until 5:30pm for the public, so, if you’re attending, between those times you can come meet us and will have the opportunity to buy, not only some of our older titles, but will also be able to buy Dreamwalkers, and, more importantly, Pandora will be for sale for the first time! Woot!

Nadia:  So yeah, we’ll be giving ya more info next time while we hastily sort out our mess of a schedule. It’s all chaos here, but we’re having fun! But, trust me, we will be cool an’ collected come con time... We always are! *Wink, bad ass pose.*

Both: Well~ till next time agents!

Make or Break



--- Last time ---

Phoenix Agent 1: I think that’s enough. Just bind her hands. It won't be fun if she dies out right.
Phoenix Agent 2: Sure, I wanna have a little fun next time. I haven't used any torture techniques in a while.

Voice: Hey! What do you think you’re doing!

Phoenix Agents: !!!

Lorenzo: Well? I’m waiting.

--- Phoenix Headquarters, Dungeons ---

*Slow steps seem to echo around the dungeon, the two agents seemed frozen in place as Lorenzo approaches, eyes looking somewhat demonic as he assesses the situation.*

*In a small voice one of the men spoke.*

Agent 1: S-Sir we were just dealing with a pest! I s-see n-no issue with that. She is a spy, after all.

Agent 2: R-right!

Lorenzo: Perhaps she is, but I gave no order for her to be harmed. Only that she would learn her lesson from being placed into solitary confinement. Where, pray tell, does that entail beating a person to an inch of her life?

*He steps forwards, his expression still, but eyes gleaming in the semi-darkness*

Lorenzo: That’s right: My orders never stated anything of the sort. So, where do you get the authority to undermine what I said and take it upon yourself to disregard those orders? There are many ways to deal with spies that can help us without such….boorish actions. But most of all….

*He snarls, his face twisting into rage*

Who gave you the right to raise your hands in such a way, making it seem you’re ‘helping’ when you would act no better than the gods we hope to tear this world from? Explain yourselves!

Agent 1: I see nothing wrong with our actions! But… your’s sir…. You’ve changed ever since she came here!

Agent 2: in the past we would just kill off their agent s so whats changed?! We had to do something!

Lorenzo: What changed is what we can do ourselves. What’s changed here is that she has information. Information that I planned to exploit before disposing of her. There was a reason we attempted to use her in the first place. You….also have no idea what we could do now, do you. That’s why you’re mere agents and not an executive! Because you don’t think. I ‘changed’ only to exploit her in turn. But such higher thinking functions appear to be beyond you!

*The smell of copper permits the dungeon halls, the fallen woman is slowly bleeding out unnoticed for the moment, her life force seem to be leaving her quickly. And so, too, her will*

*The Demigod stiffens slightly*

Lorenzo: Now I need to rectify this situation.

*He takes a threatening step forwards*

Stand aside. Now.

Phoenix agents: Sir!

*Their gaze is suspicious and their eyes are glaring at their boss's back*

Agent 1:.... Disgraceful….. I'm leaving. This love sick pup is killing me

Agent 2: Hush! Let’s just leave. I don't want to…

*Lorenzo, who had picked up N’s unconscious form, turns towards the exit, only to pause*

Lorenzo: How strange that you appear to be under the illusion that I have become suddenly deaf because you can’t understand higher brain functions and plans beyond violence.

*He looks over his shoulder, his eyes glowing*

Lorenzo: If that is the case….Then perhaps you will only learn by violence!

*One hand lashes out in the direction of the first Agent. His hand didn’t touch him, but he is launched like a rag doll into the cell wall, the stone crushing behind him, throwing up debris. His hand still raised, Lorenzo watches the dust die out, seeing the agent pinned into the crumbled wall, some limbs crumpled from the force.*

*Cocking his head, he moves his hand away, but the man remains pinned, small rivulets of blood seeping from numerous wounds. His eyes turn to the second agent.*

Lorenzo: Has my point been made? Or do I need to begin lesson two?

*The second agent backs out of the way, muttering in a barely audible voice*

Agent 2: ….. This this…. Yes sir!

*Lorenzo moves closer, grabbing the man’s chin with his hand*

Lorenzo: Then you can clear up this little mess, I’m sure. Also, if you ever disobey my orders again, if you interfere with my plans again, what happened to your fellow agent there will be only a fraction of what I’ll do to you. Am I clear?

Agent 2: …. S-sir…

Lorenzo: Get to work then.

*Roughly, he shoves the man’s face away from him and stalks out of the room, knowing that he would need to do a lot of work to fix what the agents had done to N*

*It doesn’t take him too long to get to his room, not wanting to give the agents any more of a chance to harm her further and lays her onto his bed, pulling out a first aid kit. Carefully, he begins to clean and bind her wounds, occasionally checking her pulse, breathing and checking for a response. Unfortunately, while she was still breathing, she remained unconscious and her pulse was thready,as if her body was in shock.*

*Finally, he finishes, and covers her with a blanket to help stave off further complications from developing. He watches her for a long moment, again, testing out her responsiveness.*

N thoughts: I feel a presence... Whose is it…? It was warm….and…. No… No, all that’s around me is a vast sea of nothing... emptiness and darkness. If I die here, it might be a blessing. I’m sorry I couldn't help you, Lorenzie. I'm sorry. But I think I’ll give over this nothingness now. It will be easier.... On the both of us.

*A warm light shines in her eyes and her blurred vision slowly comes into focus as she regains consciousness*

Lorenzo: N. Can you hear me?

*She blinks a few times but then closes her eyes again, her eyes slightly glazed.*

N:...

Lorenzo: Ah!

*He leans forwards a little, finally having received a response and hoping to gain more*

N? If you can hear me right now, give me a sign.

N:...

*She says nothing, but opens her eyes once more, looking away from his gaze*

Lorenzo [Inner thoughts]: She’s responding a little….but that look in her eyes….it’s almost like she’s not there…

*Gritting his teeth*

Shit, did they give her brain damage? Or is she just disorientated and concussed? I’m no medic, how am I to know? Still….it is somewhat a response...Perhaps she can hear me, even if she can’t respond?

Lorenzo: You might not be able to talk right now, but at least listen. You’re currently in my room. I hope you realise I did not order this to happen to you. I ordered solitary confinement. I understand if you would rather not hear this from me now, but you need to stay alive. There are things I know that you need to explain, like you should have from the start. Until then, stay in here. I won’t be able to protect you outside this room, and I have enough people who will be willing to destroy both of us because of this mess. But likewise I can’t draw attention to my room by staying with you all the time. If I trust you to do this, then I’ll….trust you….to explain what those files C sent me are.

N: …. Trust…. You trampled on that the moment you sent me away… I don't have to explain any more than I have. If C is in communication with you… then there's no need for me to say anything. So just leave me…. I’ll be leaving once I'm better.

*She takes a shaky breath*

N: Stay in hell or come back to the light. I can't force you…. I'm tired now, so let’s end this.

Lorenzo: ….You damned hypocrite! You wanted me to trust you! But you never explained why I should! Only that Pandora ‘Is the light’ when it’s just as floored. If you had even from the start just explained what you found, let me look into it, but you never did! And you expected me to be ‘Oh, sure, I understand this completely’?! Then when I am willing to listen, you say no? You know that I sent you away to the cell because you wouldn’t watch your own back, you kept getting yourself caught when I warned you, time and again, not to! And you blame me for what the other agents do when I warned you not to antagonise them?! No….you….You say I’;m not the Lorenzo I once was, but you, you aren’t even N.

*He stands up and storms towards the door, glaring over his shoulder*

Lorenzo: This weak person who blames others for her mistakes even more that I, or just gives up after one bit of hardship when things could finally work for you? You are not N.

*Turning away, he snorts bitterly*

Lorenzo: ….Do whatever you want. Escape. Lay there and die or go get yourself killed. I don’t care anymore. If I can’t trust you, I can’t trust Pandora, I can’t trust Phoenix...Maybe I can’t even trust C. Maybe I can’t trust anyone at all. I shouldn’t be surprised. Maybe the only one I can trust is me….

N: ….Ha...hahahaha…. Pitiful, you’re so weak, it’s so sad. You’re so wrapped up in all this far too close to see the veil that’s been pulled over your own eyes.

*She cough violently*

N: Well, I guess that the human in you… No, that would be an insult to the rest of us. You need to see things with your own eyes. I can’t help you there, ‘Sir’, so… what are you going to do? As I said, I’m leaving this place once I’m healed. I can’t stand this hovle anymore. All of your pity parties are gettin’ on my nerves. WAKE UP! You talk about trust, yet you can’t trust the person who’s been beside you the longest. You couldn't then and still can’t now… sad.

*She rolls over to her side*

I’ve wasted all my emotion on you. I should have never given you my time. ‘I can’t trust anyone,’ you say? HA! The right words for you is ‘I can’t trust myself’. You’re a lousy excuse for a man the way you are now. Why don’t you find yourself and then come talk to me? I don’t have time to deal with children while my team are busting their asses trying to save the world. So use my communicator the best you can… if you can. Find out the truth, then decide what you plan to do. If you decide to come with me, then I’ll be at the entrance to this hell hole by the time the hull moon rises. If you decide to stay here, then kindly return my communicator to me. You wont have use for it. The choice is yours.

Lorenzo: You self righteous, pretentious woman. You say all that and when I finally did give you a chance you just throw it at me instead. You make it seem as if you know everything that has happened or should happen and then give up when it doesn’t go your way. But I see there’s no point in staying. There’s no point in arguing. Leave. Just go. It would seem neither of us really knew each other at all. Goodbye, N.

*A tear rolls down her cheeks as she turns away from him*

N: Hurry up and leave.

N [inner thought]:  Even if I tell you, we’ll just keep spinning our wheels. You need to figure this out by yourself. Hurry up, idiot! Hurry up and figure it out. I’ve given you all the tools, so use them. I didn't get caught for nothing. So… this is my last shred of hope, before I give up completely. So please….

*With that, Lorenzo wrenches open the door and leaves, slamming it behind him*

--- Meanwhile, Temple grounds, Izumo Region, Japan ---

*The sound of a cup being filled is all that's heard around the temple grounds. The air is especially crisp and quiet as the moon hangs overhead.

Voice: You’ve been drinking from dusk till dawn and you still haven't had enough? Old man, I really don't want to see your liver at this point. It's probably just a lump of coal by now.

Monk: Humph! I get enough of that yip yap from my vassals, I don't need it from you, dear child.

Voice: Hahaha! Well, papa, I am your child, after all. It's only natural that I worry silly. But, anyway, about you letter….

Like a Moth to a Flame, You're Drawn to the Light


--- Phoenix Building, West Wing, Lorenzo’s Office ---

*The sun is beginning to set colouring the office an orange hue. Reclining in his chair, Lorenzo reaches out for the communicator he discarded earlier. A faint buzzing sound emits from the device.*

*Lorenzo freezes for a moment, before his expression settles into something more controlled, carefully picking up the communicator to discover that someone had messaged Agent N. His eyes flicker to the sender and frowns ever so slightly, recognising the name. Straightening, he reads over the words*

Agent C [Text Message] : Suuuuuup home gir! :P

OMG theses kids are Soooooo Cute look at em!!!!

*The communicator pings and a photograph of a class and Agent C smiling happily appears*

And there so eager to learn about our world! And all i had to do to get them motivated was do a magic demonstration and summon my familiars. And they were eating it up! Oh and you were right starting them off with just peek their interest made things alot more interesting :3
So how are things on your end?

Lorenzo [Inner Thoughts]: If he doesn’t get a reply, he’ll know something is wrong with N. If he know’s that, then Pandora definitely will know. I can’t allow that kind of interference. N has already caused enough problems with her traitorous actions. I should be able to mimic her messaging style, looking at her past messages…

‘Agent N’ [Text Message]: What, you doubted me? :P told ya itd get em interested. As for me, not much has changed yet. No changes. Im running out of ideas tho. Might just need inspiration? Any ideas?

Agent C [Text Message]: you could always seduce him with your feminine wiles pft!

‘Agent N’ [Text Message]: what, like lay over his desk with wine ready to pore an a rose in my mouth? Lol

Agent C [Text Message]: hahahhha *slaps knee* as hilarious as that would be…. I don't think it would work on ‘Papa’ but by al means give it a try and tell me how it goes hahahaha i'm totally sure it would be a riot sending him with a somewhat confused and deducted look  hahah no, no i got it!!!

Do it while hes in a meeting or something hahahah it would be priceless :’D

*Lorenzo twitches ever so slightly at the thought, before taking a shuddering breath and, inwardly cursing as he knows what N might say, he responds.*

‘Agent N’ [Text Message]: OMG, i can see the meeting one! I think the phenix agents have a heart attack or something. Maybe i should do it! I’ll send pics! Can you imagine their faces? Lorenzie might just hit his head on the desk hahahaha!

Agent C [Text Message]: Lol, oh n i got some news on the kid you were looking into… well… it's not pretty. Look i don't know what or how much information you can get over there but. Form my finding… the kids and those similar… long story short that agency kidnapping them and turning them into sleeper agents, no dolls would be the better word.
I knew our enemy was bad but… i never thought they would do something like this. And as much as i’ve tried i can't get the poor kid to nap out of it. Can't even get it to gain full consciousness. It's like in full zombie mode. Sad :’(

*Lorenzo pauses, his eyes fixed on the sleeper agent part of the text*

Lorenzo [Inner thoughts]: Sleeper agents? What sleeper agents? Have the higher ups been working on something without telling us? Dammit, N already seems to know about this, so I can’t ask here. But even so, sleeper agents have a job, usually, not just being zombie-like….

*Hesitantly, he types again*

‘Agent N’[Text Message]: have we found everything out about what they were meant to do? Could be that they stuck something in their head that they haven’t got to yet and that’s why they’re not snapping out yet? I don’t want to think that there’s nothing anyone can do. Or am i just hoping for some good news here that i'm not gonna get no matter what?

Agent C [Text Message]: you and i both know that it's not that simple…. But to humor the parents we gave them scans… *sigh*

Have you heard about the spell Yotsobi and Cusobi?

‘Agent N’ [Text Message]: no, what?

Agent C [Text Message]: ….Well there obedience spell Yotsobi, even if you try your best to rebell absent it as long as the spell caster as a higher will its unbreakable. Cusobi… to destroy the soul. It's said only high ranking spell caster closest to a god can create that. I was wondering you said before that Phenix rebelled against the gods so why are they in cahoots with them it doesn't make sense…. Right?

‘Agent N’ [Text Message]: some demigods can sometimes tap into godly powers, but

*Lorenzo doesn’t sent this just yet, a frown on his face. Was it possible that there was someone in cahoots with a god? Or were they somehow manipulating a god to help them? It was worrying...but Lorenzo couldn’t help but wonder if C had an inkling that it wasn’t N on the phone and he was….trying to trick him?*

*Finally, he continues the text*

‘Agent N’ [Text Message]: do you want me to see if i can dig up anything? There’s been no hints of any gods at this current level, but if i’m careful enough, i might be able to get lorenzie to spill something. You know that if a god was helping, he wouldn’t be too happy. Then again, if i manage to show him enough evidence, he might be more likely to help out, if only to spite whatever god’s involved. Is Cusobi related to any god in particular?

*C’s reply confirms his suspicions.*

Agent C [Text Message]: …. PFT…. if you're so curious why don't you confirm it for yourself. And if you must know any hack god can cast  either spell both are needed for absolute control over thuse blest with free will. Is a basic spell that god's learn when they're young like us learning how to walk it's just fundamental. And for a let's just say human they would need to be a god's vessel. -.-’

Now ‘Papa’ i’m assuming she's still alive, i'm assuming she just can't get to her comunicare right now and i'm assuming that she's unharmed. Because if she isn't… well we both know what i'm capable of. +.+

*A crashing sound can be heard from the window behind him, the glass shatters, letting in a chilling breeze. Lorenzo hisses slightly, knowing that this was a threat from C. He wants to locate the man, but another message comes through before he can*

Agent C [text message]: dont worry ‘Papa’ if you want me to drip feed you the information Mama hasn't told you… the same info that your loving Phenix is hiding from you then just read this.

*The communicator pings several times as files are downloaded to it. It crackles and buzzes again, as if trying to connect a call*

*For a moment, he hesitates, unsure if this will result in some kind of virus or destruction of any information inside the communicator. Since his cover was blown, however, he doubted that he would be able to use the communicator the way he wanted. Cursing quietly, he takes a chance and opens the files. Thankfully, there is no virus, and C had indeed given him files. As he read, his eyes grew wider and his face became paler until he shoved the communicator away, shaken.*

*A voice comes from the abandoned communicator*

Agent C [voice]: Well, I hope it's an interesting read for ya, Lorenzie. It sickened me to my core, what your agency is doing. But from your reaction just now, there seems to be some semblance of humanity left in ya, so maybe there is some sliver of hope for both you and theses poor kids anyway. I have to go, I'm turning off the communicator for now and wiping out all the other info apart from the files I sent ya…. By the way, you should really check up on your partner. It seems some of your boys are getting excited.

*With that the communicator buzzes again and shuts off*

Lorenzo: ...N…

*Ignoring the communicator and the shattered window, Lorenzo bolts from the room.*

--- At the same time that Lorenzo had first turned his attention to the communicator, N was also facing her own dilemma ---

Agent N: Lorenzo…. Am I too late? Are you that far out of my reach? Please, tell me it's just a lapse in judgment, that you not so far gone as too-

SFX: Pow!

*N receives a sharp kick to the stomach*

Phoenix Agent 1: Aw, did little miss big mouth get a tummy ache?

*She drops to the floor, clutching her stomach, the overwhelming moment shocks her and she struggles to stand*

Phoenix Agent 2: There's no one to save you now. Seems the boss gave up on you. Not so tough once you knight gave up on you, huh?

*She holds back her tears, but, as if on cue, the pair began mercilessly attacking her*

Agent N: …. I can take it…. I can take on anything they throw at me… but to have you abandon me, Lorenzie, that's what will kill me…. But I guess it's over now. I can't stand, I can't move. And my vision, it’s getting dark… Well, I guess I’m already in hell, so I guess I know what to expect when this mundane shell of mine finally breaks… Hahah...ha...ha...

Phoenix Agent 1: I think that’s enough. Just bind her hands. It won't be fun if she dies out right.

Phoenix Agent 2: Sure, I wanna have a little fun next time. I haven't used any torture techniques in a while.

Voice: Hey! What do you think you’re doing!

Phoenix Agents: !!!

Lorenzo: Well? I’m waiting.

[END]
