Sterling + Onyx 1

[dramatispersonae]

Through the doors, you find yourselves in a small circular room that seems to be decorated much in the same way as the ring is decorated today. The curtains are in alternating colors of your teams, and in the center stand are three surprisingly lifelike, but faceless sculptures. They stand with their backs to one another, facing out to the chairs. About each of their necks is a cord that holds a sign written in a fine, looping cursive.

...Hello.

Was just in your boat.

Though, mine was a little kinder. Only five.

[deadpan]

Don't worry. I'm into this kind of thing.

[godcomplexed]

Problem solved then.

[edgeofjustice]

What an unexpected turn of events.

[godcomplexed]

At least you're taking it well.

[edgeofjustice]

It's not a big deal for me. But I'm curious about what she means by "theft of air".

[godcomplexed]

...Asphyxiation?

[edgeofjustice]

Yeah but, 'til I pass out or what?

[godcomplexed]

Possibly? It makes sense that way.

[legitimizes]

Kiss him breathless?

[edgeofjustice]

That's an interesting interpretation.

[godcomplexed]

...If you want to.

[legitimizes]

It should still be within bounds.

[godcomplexed]

Probably.

It's so vague, as long as he's having trouble breathing, it should be good.

[legitimizes]

It'll save a little trouble at least.

[reknight]

[you guys . . .]

[edgeofjustice]

Are you sure you're that good?

[legitimizes]

Unless you'd rather try the strangling.

[edgeofjustice]

I'll leave it up to your discretion. If she's not satisfied she'll just do it herself.

[legitimizes]

She's let us off with stealing hugs so far.

....Are you ready?

[edgeofjustice]

[pulling out a ribbon and pulling his hair back]

Now I am.

[legitimizes]

[Waiting and watching calmly, respectful.]

It'd probably be better to kiss you first. Anyone you prefer, or is it fine if it's me?

[edgeofjustice]

I'm all yours. Do your worst.

[legitimizes]

[Stepping forward to pull Yuri into a searing kiss. No apology or warning. After all, it's supposed to be stolen.]

[edgeofjustice]

[exhales sharply, actually a bit startled by the intensity]
