[ There doesn't seem to be a way up there. Normally that would be backstage, but backstage is completely useless outside of the dead goat (oh n).
But.
Kravitz doesn't give Taako the knife. Instead, he picks it up himself, and as quickly as he can, plunges the knife into his own side. Which is funny! Because Taako will feel a sudden flash of pain, and if he looks down, he'll see that there is now more blood coming out of him from a new wound that wasn't there before.
Meanwhile, Kasumi will allow this. But as soon as Kravitz stabs himself, she stands to try to tackle Sumire to the ground. It's fine. ]
[ Oh my god. Taako is bleeding?? Sumire's doppelganger is trying to tackle her? Rufus is child-snatching??
Prefect is fine.
Rather, all it takes is one look at the knife Taako's boyfriend has sticking in him and the fresh wound Taako has and then you know what, she's just going to make a valiant run to get the rest of those knives from the others.
But Rufus can try to snatch Sumire away. Kasumi is very determined though, so they're just going to have to wrestle with her a while longer. Uh, have fun with a fifteen year old girl trying very hard to strangle her sister, I guess.
Meanwhile, Dorothy can try to grab the other knives. That does get Prefect's and Lass' attention though, and they will both try to move to grab her as she passes by. ]
[Youād think heād be more shocked, but heās had worse second dates than this. Also, just being shocked by every new and horrible injury is exhausting. Sometimes shit just be happening, yo.
Anyway. Just going to reach over there and take the knife out of Kravitz. I know itās not medically sound advice, but it isnāt as if Taako has the knife currently in him blocking his injury anyway. He has super strength. Try and stop him, Mr. Now Ex-Boyfriend.]
Between Kasumi trying to strangle her and Rufus helping a girl out, Sumire is just very determined to play keep away with the knife, holding it as far away from Kasumi as possible as to avoid any accidents.]
Kasumi, stop! [GUESS... THEY'RE WRESTLING 2V1 NOW. One armed wrestling in Sumire's case.] We don't have to fight!
[The dialogue prevents him from zipping around as much as he would like. He still has Taako's knife, but he's yet to take a swipe at Kasumi as he maneuvers himself in the way. She doesn't seem interested in him, anyway.
Instead, Dorothy moves in his periphery and Rufus kicks the chair to throw Lass off balance.]
Thanks to Rufus kicking a chair, Dorothy evades Lass' grasp, though she might not be so lucky with Prefect.
But really, the goal is the knives first and foremost and she's kicking one away and lunging to grab the other one because the last thing she needs is any of these non-homies stabbing themselves or the homies. ]
But Lass gets knocked back by the chair, which at least gets him away from Dorothy. Prefect, however, is now trying to run for the knife that got kicked away.
Everyone in the crowd is just watching all of this happen. Silently. ]
also slapping Kravitz with his super strength (non-life threateningly) to make distract him for a minute before he marches over to FRIGGINā CLAIRE and removes the tuba from her head.]
Claire! Claire you total asshole! Get up! What the fuck are we supposed to do! I got like 1 HP left!
[ Please save Rufus. But Sumire and Kasumi will continue to wrestle. Sumire probably has the advantage here, just from Rufus interfering, but she is definitely getting her injured parts hit. Fuck you!
As for Taako's adventure... Claire no longer has a tuba on her, but she is still knocked out cold. ]
He pushes Sumire away to grab Kasumi and toss her at Prefect. Lass is, unsurprisingly, being useless on the floor, so Rufus ignores him and the other layabout. Frowning, he shoves a bloody, melted hand into his other pant pocket.]
[ Ah. Well, that roll was a 7, so Dorothy is tackling both Prefect and Kasumi and they are all tumbling off the stage in a giant heap. Good thing Dorothy isn't horribly injured or anything, or else that landing is probably going to hurt, haha.
Meanwhile, Taako still isn't having any luck with Claire? She's knocked out? Until she isn't.
Claire, suddenly, opens her eyes and immediately tries to strangle Taako, yelling in rage. Wow. Weird. ]
Taako at this one is actually surprised - which, why wouldnāt he be shocked that this cheerleader heās spent the past few hours just psychologically tormenting to the brink of madness has finally snapped and tried to kill him back? Who wouldnāt be totally surprised by this turn of events? Heās choked.
Heās choked and is clawing at her hands and struggling and starting to get tunnel visioned because he has like Absolutely No Blood Left and is very weaā
Then he remembers he has super strength and just grabs her by the wrists and pulls her hands off his neck?]
Claire! Get your shit together! If you want us to leave you gotta tell us how! Tell us how to leave and youāll never have to see us again!
[Sumire, on the floor, after getting pushed by Rufus: This is my home now.
Okay, no. Now it's her turn to be Troy with pizza. Between Dorothy falling, Rufus 1v1ing her sister, and Dorothy falling off the stage, there is just so much happening.
Taako has super strength, though. And Rufus has... whatever he is shoving his melty hand in his pocket for, so. She jumps off the stage to go help Dorothy, still holding the knife she stole from Kasumi as she kicks both her sister and Prefect away from her. Does she even have enough blood left at this point? Haha! No. A bitch is going to pass out if they don't get out of here pronto.]
Fuck you, Taako! I didn't even get to perform at halftime because SOMEONE crushed the FOOTBALL TEAM.
[ Claire may be bitter. But she also points at the nooses.
But Prefect and Kasumi are both kicked, and they are now distracted from attacking Dorothy by... the fact that they are now going to just chase Sumire instead. ]
[The four of them are below the stage, so Rufus turns his attention to Taako and Claire. His hand is empty when he removes it from his pocket. He follows Claire's point to the nooses, rights the chair he kicked earlier, and kneels beside Lass.]
Forget the knife. Which one of us is meant to hang?
[ She's sorry, Sumire. Dorothy is going to be useless because Dorothy now has a dislocated shoulder and one (1) broken lower leg because who am I to contest the roll.
So she's just going to lie there on the floor and process this pain for a moment, to say nothing of hitting the ground at a flying leap with a wounded abdomen.
i don't know what to tell you for this tag besides that sumire is running away from kasumi and prefect, leading them in circles — unless we suddenly have crowd participation and the nameless npcs want to grab her. that's fine, too. how the fuck is she even still conscious.]

But if Kasumi is being thrown at Prefect, Dorothy will take advantage of that-- by flinging herself at them as hard as she can.
The goal is to get them further away so it's a little less chaotic.
The reality is that, depending on momentum and the mercy of the mod, she might just unintentionally knock all three of them off the stage.
They're all ignoring Lass, I guess. ]
