A Group of Sleep Deprived Lawyers.

SHUT UP, YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT WORS-

...I really don't like being ordered around hündin. The light went to the corner, shards of light now... Sticking to something.

...

stay back, august you'll just make it worse-

No. Stay. Behind. Me. It wasn't exactly a request.

*he finally fell silent, coughing a bit and sometimes choking...*

O-Okay..i'm sorry...

......*it moved away from the light, scoffing.* stupid fae's...weak, you can't even use your light right. LAW.

.....*he grumbled, but stopped arguing and moved back* fine. I swear if you get hurt...-

....

....do it ziah.

Weak, huh? His light dimmed, turning into an eerie shade of blue and sharpening. Are you calling me weak?

back up just in case ziah snaps.

Oh, this will definitely hurt, so... Sorry in advance. Liz applied pressure to the wound, with it slowly healing, but small burn marks were left around the mark from her light.

I won't. He calmly removed a gun from a hidden holster. Shadows began warping around him and a few began swirling around Law.

Dena wasn't the only one who made a deal with death, idiot.

fuck...go babe! *his voice was hoarse, but he smirked* thank you Liz...it hurt a lot.

...............*he pulled out a gun, aiming it at Reporter* back down o-or I'll shoot him right in th--

*Reporter proceeded to grab a dagger, stab himself in the palm, mumbled something under his breathe and the gun suddenly exploded into...blood* fix this too? *he held out the stab would, smirking*

...damn it...I CAN'T DIE!!! I WON'T!

baby fuck em up!!!

....SHUT UP!- YOU..YOU-

me?

...I REFUSE!

*he grumbled, crossing his arms* this is pointless...why are you even getting so protective, I can perfectly defend myself-

Ziah grinned and blew a kiss towards Reporter. Shut the fuck up, dipshit. He lifts a hand and the lights immediately dove towards Steno, picking him up and slamming him into a nearby wall.

...Huh. Nice throw, Zizi.

DON'T CALL ME THAT, I'M TRYING TO BE INTIMIDATING HERE-

Death listens to none. Ziah, kill him.

...Liz's eye twitched and she smacked Reporter across the face. I'm fixing this because I'm nice....

...Shh.

Awwhh, thank you Liz!! You're a very good friend and I love you dearly but I really want to rant about how hot Ziah is.

.......you...*he pants, crawling towards the dagger*

....oh you want this?

...p-lease..I'll give you a raise

*his eyes light up at that* how much.

....as much as you want.

*he slides the knife over, and he grabs it*

it won't do anything, by the way.

.......*he than reached for a paper, pulling it and than reappeared pathetically crawling away*

.........this is sad.

don't tell me to shh! Answer me!

I'll smack you across the face again! >:(

....Sorry, love but I have a duty to finish.... I have to kill him.

It is sad. But it is his fate he chose.

...you good? Nath cautiously goes back out to the open.

Be quiet or I will make you be quiet. I'm listening to something.

NO!! GAH..oh, go ahead love!! You're hot when you get murderous.

Uh...m..mhm... i...i have to protect him...

Make me? well then, go ahead and try. *his eyes roll in disbelief, scoffing*

.....no..NO! YOU CAN'T JUST KILL ME!

Liz sighs. What do you see in Ziah is my question....

...so you're not good. you're too nice, august.

I think I'll make this as painful as possible...

Go ahead.

Yay! Light sharpened, before stabbing Steno in the arm.

Edan sighed before turning around and quickly covering Law's mouth with his hand. Shadows warped around him and immediately swirled over to Law. You can't speak until the shadows let go. I'm sorry. He backs away.

*he screamed*

ew shut up-

AHAHHHHH-- AHAHHHHHHHHHH!

.....*he gave Steno a stare, before turning to Liz* well, he gives a shit about me and he's really sweet!! Like, he's just super cool and handsome and ohhh my god...i could go on for hours....

he's a kid...*she stepped forward, putting a hand on ziah's shoulder* Reporters okay now...surely we can talk with him..he's just a kid

He's a racist!

maybe thats because his m-

his mom was worse.

...while that is tru-

nuh uh uh...let my baby cakes do what he needs to do.

baby cakes?

It's called a petname and your just jealous I have a boyfriend and YOU don't.

...he's 12.

and?

*he opened his mouth and tried to speak, than tried to remove the shadows* ........ *he mouthed a quick "fuck you" and glared at Edan*

Ew.

He is a kid. But that doesn't excuse the things he did.

babe, i love you but i think you need to work on your pet names....

Cal sighs and leans against her scythe.

...I really am sorry. But it's for your safety... Edan looked away with a slight hint of guilt on his face.

EW?!- I- awwhhh..you dont likemy pet names :(

no one does-

HEY! my pet names are amazing

....*she sighed* Cal, I- he...he wasn't raised right-

BEAT HIM UPPPP!

NO!

ziah make it fun

your sadistic

actually, more of a-

NO.

*Law crossed his arms, giving Edan a look.*..............*he than pushed himself in front of Edan, going to leave.*

I agree, your pet names are sucky.

Don't be mean to him! His pet names just need a bit of... Work. Light flared and Steno crashed into another wall. .....oops.

I know. I met Steno's parents before, down below... It was. Memorable. In a bad way.

i agree BEAT THAT BITCH UP

GO ZIAH!

Edan shook his head, pushing back to the front. No, it's not safe..

Listen, I have never given anyone pet names, you guys should be nice

...you call me "e-kitten"

that ones for shits and giggles

WHY.

*he shrugged, giggling*

...Cal, please-

*Steno coughed, breathes hoarse* s..top..

*he pushed him back again, glaring at him. He than pointed at the shadows with a look of...well, he was upset.*

Call Ziah your e-kitten—

Love, please don’t….

Cal sighs, rubbing her temple with a wince.

…i’m sorry, i really am but. i have to keep you safe… it can’t happen again, it won’t.

HAH! Nah, he gets the cuter ones.

Cal you-

*the knife was thrown, straight into Clerk's calf. In a heartbeat, Reporter covered her mouth*

don't scream, because if he finds out...you know what will happen..

*shes crying, trembling, but nodded*

*he slowly let got, and she winced

oh he heard that!, he shoved Edan away, storming out the closet. But then turned, snapping his fingers and pointing at the shadows. That was an order.*

welp, once he opens this door, you'll be dead Steno.

no...no- I didn't mean to hit her-

Who here knows spanish, we need translators because he's gonna go off *he's giddy now*

NO! I-...goddamn it...

Sorry baby, I would let you have the kill...but *he sighed* You know how he gets..

no he doesnt-

he does!! he's smarttt

..........Ziah has never seen the extent-

im sure he gets the picture!

Liz, heal Clerk, please.

Yup, on it! Liz walks over to Clerk, light already gathering around her.

What were you saying, before Steno threw the knife?

eh, I know a bit of spanish.

aww... whatever, law probably deserves it more than me..

Edan grimaced and followed Law, the shadows moving away. ...Just. Be careful...

*he stormed out, slamming the door shut behind him* what. happened.

...sten-

*he was moving too quick, slamming steno into a wall* ¿Estás jodiendo con mi hermana? ¿Tengo que matarte, pequeño cabrón? Te juro por todos los medios que no dudaré en hacerte trizas, perra sucia.

Law- no!--

*he gave her a stare, and she shut up. Steno was going blue, struggling. he was trying to get Law to drop him, desperate.*

Contéstame, maldito sucio. Te juro por DIOS que estás muerto. Estás tan muerto que esta fue la maldita gota que colmó el vaso. Empujaste, empujaste y abriste y presionaste el botón de destrucción. ¿Me entiendes?

*steno gasped for air, he couldn't even understand shit*

Te di demasiadas oportunidades.

*claws digged into his arm, and steno gasped again, it was shorter as his hand tightened*

Eres un niño arrogante e ignorante. Lo sé, duele. Va a doler. Te lo mereces, te mereces todo esto. Te lo advertí, ¿no? Te advertí que NO la jodas físicamente.

*it tightened further, he was blue, eyes bulging*

¡Empujaste, empujaste, empujaste, empujaste y empujaste! Maldita sea. Te ves jodidamente patético, ¿lo sabías, verdad?

déjalo ir-

¡NO! ¡Él pidió esto!

*finally, he tightened further, and the head goddamn exploded with a loud, eerie pop.*

....

....

you killed him--...

i-...I was going to ask if you..could help keep him alive but...

*Law dropped the body, covered in blood. Bone and brains splattered the floor*

.....

translator?-

Liz frowned, shaking off a bit of blood on her shoe. Eugh, you caused a mess...

I could revive him, considering his soul is still here. Mostly.

Ziah turned away and threw up in a trash can.

Edan paled, blankly staring at the remains before backing out of the room.

...damn law. i only got a few sentences cuz my spanish is rusty...

...bastard deserved it.

Reporter.

I am NOT touch-

find a new hire, *he grabbed a bit of brain* it's rotten.

.......do you think I could use it-

it's still blood.

*he grumbled, rubbing Ziah's back for a bit before walking back over and pulling out a large jar* I'll sort it out later...gloves?

...don't return them, *he passed the mage a pair of gloves, walking to the bathroom*

.....*shes shaking* no...no- this..was was for the best..just..shakened up...- Edan- *she went after him, slowly entering*

you...okay- you..know Law means well..don't be scared of him- he's just..we have history when it comes to uh..separation and stuff...near death experiences and stuff, you know?

*he was also draining the body, gagging when maggots filed the jar* EW- uh...*he slowly grabbed the wringling thing, sniffing it*

....could I know the sentences? Cal- shouldn't you know Spanish?!--

Don't smell that. And alright... Guess I'm free to take his soul now. Spanish? Yeah, I know it.

that is fucking DISGUSTING.

Mhm. Not scared, just... Memories. Bad memories.

can you translate-

Nah.

You need help reporter?

Ziah vomited in the trash again.

...with the amount of dead bodies you've seen ziah, you would've thought that you're used to it....

fuck off nor.

mmh...go ahead, and why won't you translate?- baby, you good? I'd hold your hair but.....*his gestured to his bloodied gloves*...nah, don't fuck with my work.

...are you scared..of him-? there's no need to be-..he's really harmless!-

*he entered again, somehow clean and changed.*

welcome back, official murderer.

You won't fire me.

I won't, but I will warn you. If one of these fuckers decide to tattle on you....you wont have my protection.

...got it.

also, his dads coming.

WHAT-?

yup, you're totally fucked! *he was continuing to collect the blood like this wasn't a big deal.*

...Cal rolled her eyes with a sigh. The first part was mainly Law being angry with Steno. Roughly translates too 'Do I have to kill you. you little bastard? By all means I will not hesitate to tear you apart, you dirty bitch.' The second part was basically the same, except with more colourful threats and third part translates too, 'i gave you too many chances. you arrogant, ignorant child. You deserve it, you deserve all of this.' ...That's pretty much it. If you want specifics ask Law himself.

...I didn't know you knew spanish.

I know many languages.

im good, don't worry about me! he vomited again.

Nor rolled xeir eyes at Ziah.

Edan chuckled, resting his head in his hands as he sits down. Mhm. Harmless... I'm really not scared of Law... Just. Again, memories. I just need time alone.

*he grumbled, standing from the now drained body and removing the gloves. It was mess free from there as he walked over to Ziah* mmh, I'm gonna worry about you...*he gently pulled his hair back, guiding him to sit down* just relax...it's probably the smell-

and holy shit...Law, are you really that pissy over her getting stabbed but you wont even ask if I'm okay? *he mocked hurt*

yes. shes my sister, and your....you.

WOWW- I was going to be nice, take the bla-

im sorry, and I'm fucking around.

i am aware, so am I. I was never going to take any blame because guess what?

...

no plan!! You didn't want to talk to me and take your lickings....now we have steno dead! plus, you stole my boyfriends kill.

I was kind of locked in a closet with Edan.

........*he blinked* oh? *he turned back to Ziah, kissing the nape of his neck*

NOT LIKE THAT-

hes like a dumb puppy, a very loyal one with a lock jaw, but a puppy. ....come out when your ready, and take your time..*she went to leave*

mhm. oh? you sure it isn't like that? Ziah hugged reporter, raising one eyebrow at Law. you sure you didn't kiss? if you did, who made the move, you or edan?

Speaking of Edan... Is he alright? With everything that happened to him in the past, he's probably not feeling good...

Give him some time alone.

i need to get some damn air freshener....
