<Snipped quote by Meta>

*In your new position, pulls the razor-sharp barrel of both guns toward your neck*

@Techspert

*Unhinges the scissors again and jams each half between your guns before kicking you in the chest*
That was lethally stupid.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You took my daughter!
*Unloads the entire magazine into your center of mass, each shot aimed further into the past than the last*

@Techspert

*Takes a step backward in time with every shot*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I wonder if my brother has eaten some of your peeps or other time peeps.
*fires multiple shots at the ground near you that explode violently*

@Spiritblitz

*Now further back in time, interrupts you mid-sentence to slide toward you and jab the scissors into your stomach like a shiv*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*A dark sky littered with stars appears from a small black dot above you three, and a voice rings out from it*
Deepest apologies for the inconvenience and interruption, but would you mind terribly if I asked you to go elsewhere with your squabble?

@Threads of Fate

I don't need interruptions.
*Snips at the surrounding landscape and we end up in a flat canyon surrounded by stone*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*groans in annoyance*
So like at least twelve. Got it.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*deflects the blade into the ground and fires multiple rounds at you*

@Spiritblitz

You've made yourself an enemy not of the council, but of every disciple of water.
*Shifts forward, then back in time before returning to my current place to avoid each shot*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Shoots the blade coming toward me with one gun and shoots the other at you experimentally, the first shot far to your right, then the second adjusted and deadly-accurate*

@Techspert

*Slices in the path of the bullet, deflecting it away from me*
Are we really going to do the same dance again? Especially when the entire council knows you're a dead man now?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Last time we played by the council's rules. This time, we play by mine.
*Aims at your forehead and pulls the trigger, and with a sound closer to metal being struck with an anvil than an explosion, I end up on the other side of you, the bullet re-entering the extended barrel from the back*

@Techspert

*Grins, unharmed and almost giddy from the decision*
War it is!
*Unhinges a pair of scissors and flings one side at you and the other at Sinon*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

How many are there of you?

@Spiritblitz

Far more than you. Like I said, a death warrant.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*looks at you confused and a bit frustrated*
Wha- Nevermind.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Uhm… A lot really.
*pulls out one hand-cannon and unsheathes my plasma blade*
You know, are scissors really a practical weapon? I mean it’s kinda silly besides being more metaphorical than an actual tool of combat.

@Spiritblitz

Are you sure that taking on the entire council is the best way to find out? You'll be making an enemy of all who follow the way of water, you know. Is he really worth it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*Flicks back the hammers on both of my pistols*
Just the number of bullets we'll need.

@Techspert

*Laughs*
Aren't you a funny one?
*My expression drops*
If you think that antagonizing one of us will go well, you've thrown away anyone you ever cared about.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Wha-what? That’s…Okay. Anything else about her that I should know about?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Well, doesn’t that mean you sign yours too?

@Spiritblitz

I already beat your friend in combat once. Now that the river has sapped his strength, what hope do you have?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Stares with an enraged intensity*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

We got lucky. But she knows we're here.

@Techspert

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Do I let go now?

@Spiritblitz

How about we skip the drama and get this over with. You can't do anything to me, not without signing your own death warrant.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Now? I wouldn’t count on having time in the middle of it all.

@Techspert

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

They are yours, so whenever you want.

@Spiritblitz

*Steps out of the creek, completely dry*
