*Skids into you and slides beneath your legs, slicing at your tendons*

@Meta

*Fires incremental blasts into the past, avoiding depleting my magazine*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

That’s why I am not moving much.

@Spiritblitz

I’m going to keep up suppression fire into the past, so think forward and watch your back.
*Checks my pocket watch*
Seven seconds.

*the wounds begin to heal*
Ah, glad I added that last ingredient..
*groan as it heals*
How does that meat head just do it like this?
*shakes my head and looks at you*
She seems to be moving a certain set time ahead and back it seems, but I haven’t seen her move enough to find out how long yet.

@Spiritblitz

Good intuition. Remember, we can fix holes but not your lifeline; watch those scissors.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Woa—

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Lurches as soon as I see the shots in the past, swapping and disappearing just as the beam pierces my shirt and my chest starts to burn*

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Meta>

oop!
*winces and grits my teeth as I grab your arm and places the hilt of my plasma blade on your chest, activating it as your scissor blade is in me*

@Spiritblitz

She's moving into the future. Be ready for her to show back up at any point.
*Starts to collect the expended bullets and placing them back in my magazines*

*winces and grits my teeth as I grab your arm and places the hilt of my plasma blade on your chest, activating it as your scissor blade is in me*

@Spiritblitz

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

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

@Meta

*At the same time, shoots several shots into the past*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Takes a step backward in time with every shot*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

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

@Meta

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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?

@Meta

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

@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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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 Spiritblitz>

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

@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*

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

No. Just kill her and don't die.
