Sgt Vandingo

The Room

*Vaseraga laughs, and pulls Gordon towards him, before attempting to shove his hand into Gordon's chest to try to break the glowy thing, because in Vaseraga's experience, glowy things inside other things are either power-cores or explosives.*
Vaseraga: And you're going to wish you didn't detonate that thing close to me.

The Room

*Vaseraga cracks his fists, then attempts to tackle Gordon through the wall. Vaseraga's flesh sears and drops away at the acid, and who knows what the shots from Gordon's gun is doing to his chest, but despite everything, he still wants to kick Gordon's teeth in.*

---

*Beatrix is trying to help John out to the best of her abilities, though who knows what that limit of hers is.*

The Room

*Vaseraga has to take a step back after taking the shots, then tenses his muscles and continues towards Gordon. He's angry but he knows that he's probably poisoned cause he can kinda feel the acid moving around him.*
Vaseraga: Not happening.
*If anything, he's probably semi-close to death seeing as though his centre of mass is close to his heart, but despite that, he still wants revenge for being covered in the acid and shrapnel from the explosive.*

---

*Beatrix grits her teeth then pulls John back and continues trying to help him, though if he tries leaving again she's just gonna let him bleed out lol*

The Room

*Vaseraga wouldn't feel the pain unless it has some mental aspect to it, cause yeah, he doesn't feel normal pain, and so he doesn't really care about the acid at this point, he just steps forwards and reaches out towards Gordon with his massive hand. Also, the acid can go any direction except up, cause his helmet is really tight along his neck, and he wears no other armour until his legs basically.*
Vaseraga: Bad idea, bub.

---

*Beatrix rolls her eyes and tries peeling John out of his armour if he's wearing it.*
Beatrix: I don't care. She doesn't owe me a drink and she also isn't dying yet.
*She continues doing what she can to stop John from dying more, but who knows what her limit is, cause she doesn't know what hurt him and probably doesn't know how to properly treat it.*

The Room

*Vaseraga basically becomes a pincushion, and some parts of his skin starts burning, though it doesn't melt easy. He stands there, not in pain, but more annoyed at someone detonating an explosive so close to him. His bulk should've probably stopped at least some of the shrapnel and acid that hit Taboo, but definitely not all. He steps off of Xan and stares directly at Gordon, then laughs.*
Vaseraga: I assume you had something to do with that, human?
*He doesn't wait for an answer, and throws his scythe inbetween Gordon and Sasha, partly to stop him, and partly to get his attention. At this point he realises that the majority of the skin on his throwing arm is falling off, and would be disturbed by it if he wasn't in 'fuck you' mode.*

---

*Beatrix ix literally about to wipe her brow of sweat when the explosion goes off. Her response is simply a "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME", and then she stands up and makes her way to the source of the explosion, though she stops when she sees John. After another 'ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME', she pretends to roll up her non-existent sleeves, and starts working on John with whatever materials she pinched off of Merg.*

---

*Both Zeta and Eustace are stirred by the explosion, but they both just stare at each other for a while, and almost forget about it.*
Zeta: H-hi...
Eustace: Give me the book.
Zeta: Nice to see you too Eustace...
Eustace: Yes.

The Room

*Vaseraga 'hrmphs' and puts a bit more weight on Taboo's back. He crosses his arms and gestures with his head.*
Vaseraga: I say have your way. Next of ilk is almost never too far from the parent, and you can never be certain. So this seems like a necessary precaution.
*He also frowns at the beeping, cause he hasn't heard something like that apart from a clock or something.*

---

*Beatrix stops working every time Merg squirms, but continues whenever she calms down. She doesn't really care that much that she's doing this much pain, because she knows what'll happen should she not do anything. She also hears the gunshot, but isn't really in a position to go investigate.*

The Room

*Beatrix furrows her eyebrows at John's response, but is distracted by Merg stirring, and so she sighs with frustration and impatience.*
Beatrix: Good. I'll be back sometime later.
*She then exits the bar while heavily supporting Merg, and heads to some place she can fix her up properly, and after hearing commotion in the kitchen, she decides just to sit Merg on the ground and try to extract her from her fused armour by hand, or by sword. She also gathers whatever medical supplies she can find around the immediate area, and starts her 'operation'*

---

*Vaseraga frowns at Lecter and Taboo, then calmly places his massive boot on Taboo's back to prevent her from crawling away any more.*
Vaseraga: If he of all people wishes to go after her, then there must be a just reason. He will explain first, but there will be no escaping for you should he have sufficient reason, little girl.
*He then looks back at Lecter and gestures for him to explain while Vaseraga holds Taboo down.*

The Room

*Beatrix facepalms at the really stupid outcome of the fight, places a few golden coins on the bat-top for her drink, then stands up and moves over to Merg since nobody else is. She leans over, and after inspecting her wounds, she rolls her eyes and tries propping Merg up.*
Beatrix: If you even try to attack me I will put my sword through your throat and leave you here as an ornament for the tavern. I'm going to take you somewhere where I can get medical supplies.
*She doesn't wait for a response, but hopes Merg at least heard her. She lifts Merg's arm over her shoulder, and lifts her up with a bit of difficulty due to her armour. As she hobbles over towards the door, she passes John, and gives his table a light tap.*
Beatrix: After you're done chatting with your new friend, buy me a drink. We can chat and exchange information during that.
*She doesn't notice how tense he must be cause she's kinda trying to keep a woman from bleeding out, and even if she did notice the fleshy gun, she wouldn't know what it is cause she's used to actual guns, and wouldn't assume it'd be dangerous, but she doesn't see it either way so meh.*

---

*Vaseraga goes to get Zeta and Eustace some water for when they wake up. He frowns once he gets into the kitchen, and probably looks imposing as fuck in his armour for anyone who hasn't seen him.*
Vase: Is something the matter?

The Room

*Zeta continues sleeping while Eustace continues pretending to sleep, and while Vaseraga only pays attention to them, and not on the rest of the room.*

---

*Beatrix takes her time sipping her drink, but she casts her eyes around the bar, trying to remember the faces of all present. She also decides that the people there are; insane, rash and stupid, careless and two-faced, and one unknown person with an unknown agenda and personality. Who exactly Beatrix is thinking/looking at is unknown, cause she has a specific thing for each different person. She just chills with one hand on her sword pommel, and continues subtly watching, since she doesn't give a shit about anybody specific except Eustace, and the only reason she isn't there is because Eustace hates being crowded, so she's respecting that and will talk to him when he seeks her out.*

The Room

*Zeta sleeps with her head resting against Eustace's chest, who is awake, but doesn't say anything nor make it apparent that he's awake, because he has the itching feeling to snap Zeta's neck, but he knows he probably shouldn't.*

---

*Vaseraga watches both Zeta and Eustace, and has the itching feeling to snap Zeta's neck, but knows he'd get yelled at from Eustace if he did.*

---

*Beatrix goes to get wasted. She walks in to the bar and is confronted with the scene, which she responds to with a shrug, and sits down on a stool and instantly orders something classy, like a mug of beer, and I mean like full-on mugs the Scottish use to get pissed off their tits, and watches the chaos, definitely not willing to interupt unless she is put in 'danger', or something that can be perceived as danger, cause she is pretty confident in her sword arm.*
