[By pull you away, you mean take my time staring in awe, right?]

[dramatispersonae]

Do you have eyes to see anymore? Is there a you doing the seeing?

[heroic_homemaker]

[O O P S]

[Man I hope Lloyd isn't poking around in mysterious rips too and can come pull me out]

[dramatispersonae]

While you've temporarily lost your sense of personal identity, you at least get to see it when tentacles of swirling brightness and colour start breaking through the fire.

(they're wrong they're wrong they're wrong)

[brotagonist]

[YANKS HIM BACK FROM THE HOLE]

Fire! Fire, didn't you hear me?!

[heroic_homemaker]

[YANKED, oh. Huh.]

[brotagonist]

[bops him on the head

that's restorative right

then starts towing him down the hall, away from the rip]


Don't put your head weird places...!

[dramatispersonae]

There's a violent wrenching creaking noise from the bathroom.

[heroic_homemaker]

[Ow I guess I have a head that feels pain? And ears on that head that hear things, staring back at the bathroom]

[brotagonist]

[. . . cautiously takes a couple steps towards and angles himself to look in]

[dramatispersonae]

The bathtub -- which has become rather like a monstrous walking mouth, with jagged porcelain teeth all around the inside of its rim -- charges at you.

[heroic_homemaker]

[I THINK I AM HAVING A THOUGHT? INDEPENDENTLY??]

......Baths don't do that.....

[brotagonist]

RUN FOR IT AND GRAB A PAN

[I'll... I'll be the rear guard of bathtub defense on the way to the kitchen, I guess]

[dramatispersonae]

THE BATHTUB ROARS AND TRIES TO RIP YOUR ARM OFF

[heroic_homemaker]

[Oh you're getting savaged by a bathtub I know what to do here.

PUNCHES THE TUB.]

[brotagonist]

[oh my god. smashes the tub away from Taisuke's arm with a demon fang, if he is punching a place that will put that in danger, and grabs his arm]

Get a weapon first! Come on, run!

[dramatispersonae]

Taisuke probably bruises his knuckles on the porcelain. That shit is hard, yo.

The tub gets knocked back by the Demon Fang, and seems momentarily dazed -- you've got a few seconds to do something.

[heroic_homemaker]

[HHHHuh that kind of hurts too. But running? Yeah, okay, I can run, to the kitchen!]

[brotagonist]

[does the kitchen have a door that can close. because otherwise I'm just shoving Taisuke in there behind me and putting myself between him and the bathtub as best as I can.]

Grab something to hit it with!

[heroic_homemaker]

[Picks up a spoon]

[...Jiiiii]

[dramatispersonae]

The kitchen does not have a door that can close, just the hall and the big doors on the other side.

The bathtub careens down the stairs after you and charges Lloyd again, teeth gnashing.

The spoon is very shiny.

[brotagonist]

[I hope that your distorted, upside-down reflection deep in the bowl of that spoon helps you to important conclusions about your reemerging personal identity.

I guess I am doing my best to whale on this bathtub.]

WHAT THE HELL

[heroic_homemaker]

[I DEFINITELY HAVE EYES AGAIN oh wait something is happening. Maybe I should... Yes I think I will try to stab the bath with a spoon, good job me.]

[heroic_homemaker]

[Oh they're wrong. If they're wrong they should be stopped, that's how it is, I don't have the sense of self to think with 'my' hand but following the inclination to grasp at the tentacles, pull them away, it's... Really just drifting.]

[dramatispersonae]

YOU HAVE BEEN RUDELY YANKED BACK BY LLOYD IRVING

It'll take a minute for your sense of self to come back.
