[These aren't her friends. Remember, these aren't her friends.
There is absolutely nothing good that could come out of this. No verdict yet on whether staying here is worse than playing but, uh... There is one person she knows for sure is real here, so. Still standing in a spot where she can block Lup's body.]
[ Merle and Magnus both go to one side of the field, while the Phantom Thieves get into position on the other. I don't know football positions besides linebacker and quarterback.
Claire sets the ball on the ground in between them. ]
If Yoshizawa wants to hold hands now, Taako will elbow her and offer one. This is the nicest thing he has ever done, so, know that.]
Heyā- Remember. Itās just - This place just wants you to feel upset. Itās trying to dig in your head and find the shit that will hurt. They arenāt here.
Too bad it's all getting drowned out by the absolute horror of watching her friend take an axe to the stomach. She fucking screams, taking a step forward.]
—Ann-senpai!
[He, uh, may want to be more aggressive about that hand holding. If he doesn't grab her when she steps forward, almost deaf to his words, she is absolutely going to run right at the carnage.]
[ Well, as Alli stated, Taako isn't holding onto her too tightly, so Sumire gets to run onto a field. She probably should have put on the helmet when it was offered if she was going to do this anyway?
But she can get to run in right as the axe cleaves Ann right into two, her bottom half falling over as her torso flies and smacks Sumire. It's comical, of course, because the crowd laughs at how funny it is.
The thing is, the axe isn't stopping as Magnus continues to swing it. So it's probably a good thing that Sumire got smacked by Ann's pieces, because it'll help soften the blow a little bit as the axe hits Sumire in the face. ]
[god this broke bad so quickly! Sometimes you forget that not everyone has seen their friends murdered a bunch before and might freak out like a lot? A lot!]
Hey, waitā- Holy shit!
[Like always, Taako tries to stay out of it and then gets sucked right into the hot spinning vortex of horseshit thatās happening anyway. Rushing in right after her, and trying to grab her by the arm to maybe pull her out of the way of the worst of that axe to the face? I donāt know. Kyuu could traumatize all of us by killing Yoshizawa right here in front of God, Taako, and all of us.]
Taako reaches her, though not in time to stop Magnus' axe from connecting with her face. Ann's upper body flying into her serves to push her towards Taako, sure. But the way she immediately drops to the ground, going limp even as he grasps her arm, is not promising. Her face is tilted down, blood steadily dripping on the grass as the angle obscures most of the damage. She does not twitch a single muscle.
It feels like an eternity before her free hand shakily reaches up to clutch her face. Blood drips through her fingers. So much blood. Speech seems to be beyond her for the moment, the only sounds coming out of her mouth being choked gasps and whimpers, but. Uh. Maybe they should get the fuck out of the way? Unless another one of her friends wants to be the MVP. That works, too.]
Yusuke runs forward to grab the axe with his twink arms, and rushes forward to Merle who--simply tackles Yusuke to the ground. The problem is that Yusuke is holding an axe, so Merle just accidentally stabs himself with it.
It's going great. Lup and Ann bleed on the ground. ]
[I canāt fucking believe Kyuu just tortured us for three whole minutes with that what the FUCK
Anyway, embarrassing, Merle? But that tracks. Taako isnāt paying too much attention though, because heās a little focused on getting the Real Live Girl out of the middle of the terrible axe fight.]
Oh, shit, okay, itāll be fine, alright, justā Donāt worry about your face, I can fix facesā
[He isnāt all that strong but Sumire is pretty small, I think itās reasonable to say he can at least drag her pretty good by the arm.]
Sumire is clearly not all that there right now, which is, uh. Understandable, considering the fact that she took an axe to the face. Even so, she's pretty small and Taako won't have any trouble dragging her away despite her total lack of coordination. She's sobbing a little now, cooperating as much as she can and even getting a few words out.]
I— I-I'm sorry, Taako-san.
[And of course that's her priority right now.
Guess Merle can join Ann and Lup in bleeding on the ground. Whoops. Time to skedaddle back to the sidelines where there are no convenient axes.]
However, as they run to the sidelines, everyone else just sort of stops to stare at them as they move away. And then the remaining Phantom Thieves, Merle, and the cheerleaders all begin to follow Taako and Sumire. ]
Why are you saying sorry, Iām not the one axed in the face! Jeezity Creezity!
[Merle, youāre okay?????? Well just. Taking this child and running for ā is there one of those exits from the field around. Like you know the tunnels that go to the locker rooms. I know Football stuff.]
Shut the fuck up, Claire! Itās fucking half time! Send out Fantasy Gaga and get over it for a few minutes!
[Merle vored Magnus and absorbed his hit points. It's fine. We love you, zombie Merle.
Sumire finally lifts her head enough for Taako to see the damage. Or, at least, part of it. Her hand is firmly pressed against her left eye, a mess of blood dripping down her hand and cheek. A bit of damage is present on the bridge of her nose as well, though the brunt of it is definitely being obscured right now.]
For the last time, Claire, shove it up your ass! Okay, you know whatā-
[Heād managed to grab his Alexandrite, and you know what, gonna use that. Gonna use it. Itās SUPER STRENGTH, just in case. And then try and haul Sumi onto his back for a piggy back ride while he makes a break for the stands.]
Sorry about all the blood she is now getting on you, Taako. She will sling her arms around his shoulders when he pulls her up to make this easier on him. Time to run, Tuff Kasumi.]
Which is all well and good, really, except as they reach the stands, Taako may find that there is someone holding a baseball bat who is going to very suddenly attempt to slam the bat into his face in order to slow him down.
THIS CANāT BE LEGAL IN THE RULES OF MURDER FOOTBALL, BUT OKAY i rolled and it wasnāt great (a 7) and Iām very honest about these things so heās
heās slammed directly in the fucking face. His nose is definitely broken? This is fine. Down both of them go as Taako falls on his ass, sorry Sumi. God. Why is Magnus fucking around back there? His job is literally to protect Taakoās sweet, perfect face.]
Bullshit! Bullshit bullshit!
[Heāll - sorry - leave Sumi on the ground and make a grab for the baseball bat right out of his hands. Heās got super strength! ITāS TUFF KASUMI BITCH]
[Then Taako is getting knocked down on his ass, and so is she. She rolls away from him, landing on her back and groaning as she stares at the fucking sky. Everything hurts and she is absolutely dazed from all the pain, but with everyone else still following after them, she. Looks at Akechi. Looks at the Phantom Thieves. Resists the urge to vomit.
And teaches into her bag.
Is this is a bad idea? Absolutely. Don't expect her to be smart when she took an axe to the face. But she will pull out a moonstone, force herself to get up, and use it on (throws dart) Ryuji just as she starts to run back towards Taako. Please be even remotely like your real counterpart and be an Akechi anti, Ryuji.]
[ Taako has the bat now, and a bleeding face, but I guess we are now all just watching this? Definitely partially because I wanna see this fight happen. ]

no subject
The first is that Taako has a baseball bat now, because Akechi cannot win a tug of war with someone who now has super strength.
The second is that the moonstone works! Ryuji blinks, and looks around, his expression souring more and more. ]
Hey. Isn't that my bat? Not cool, man.
[ He walks over to shove Akechi for taking his bat. Everyone else just watches. ]
no subject
I guess we should . . . run?

Quietly:]
We oughtn't waste any time.

Anyway, Akechi pulls out a gun and shoots Ryuji in the face. Ryuji falls over and bleeds.
