[ well he might as well shoot his shot while three separate people are humoring him with varying levels of chagrin ]

Great!

Okay, first of all, don't pull memories outta people's heads. In fact, memory theft aside, don't mess with people's heads at all unless they say it's okay. That's basic manners.

If they say they're okay with it, then what you get up to with weirdos is your business.

Second, shoving glass into people is pretty rude. Especially if you're using it to control them later. Don't do that either.

[... yeeeeeeeeeeeeah, the second one's a BIG NOPE.]

Do no further harm, and no further harm shall be done unto you -- in sum.

[ She sighs a bit, and shakes her head. ]

Entirely contrary to my nature. I won't do it.

[ bruh ]

So that's really how it's gonna be...

Are ya even that surprised?

People who use "their nature" as a reason're just lookin' for an excuse to never change.

Always a risk with a being under arcane bindings. Pity, though.

[ She makes a vaguely scolding noise. ]

I am a goddess. Applying mortal rules to me is ridiculous from the start.

Pretty sure ending up in this place applied plenty of mortal rules to you by default. Unless I'm mistaken?

Y'ain't no god I recognize.

[almost gently: not a boast, simply a statement of fact]

It is best practice to kill gods like you, where I am from.

[ Pandora’s hand twitches towards the crack in her face. ]

Regardless. I won’t submit to the likes of you.

[ Watches her hand. Watches her face. ]

Seems like you're not quite used to pain, Miss Goddess. Whatever your cause is, it isn't worth it.

No one's even sayin' anythin' about submission, either...

In the act of being brought here you've already submitted to a mortal's hands -- or coils, as it were.

If you intend to escalate regardless, because your pride won't let you bend further voluntarily? I hope you'll remember this day with regret. I truly do.

That sounds dangerously close to a threat.

[ Her nails extend and sharpen. ]

[ WELLLLP

Immediately trying to put himself between her and Styx and Charon. Naturally. ]

[welp.

at least that gives him some cover to pull his gun discreetly, getting ready]

Sounded more like a lament to me.

[he doesn’t shift, or doesn’t appear to. but he’s been letting a spell build and drop and build and drop through this exchange to cut down on time if it comes down to a fight after all.

the air feels…tight. everyone smells sand on an out-of-place desert breeze.]

Consider it a last chance to back down, rather.

It is a last chance. For all of you.

If backing down means letting you hurt people unchallenged, then no, we're not.

[ He is giving Styx a Meaningful Glance out of the corner of his eye ]

[no worries, gun is already cocked and ready to fire some honeysuckle

which, of course, means he's shooting at the reflective bitch, around Vash.]

[soft]

Open Gate.

[the field around them all turns into a desert landscape, without warning. it doesn't hinder them -- the sand isn't quite real, the blasted grey sky isn't quite real, though there's enough arid heat and sense of grit in the air to hint that it might be real somewhere.

three centaurs are charging down the dunes towards Mirror in a thunder of hooves, heads and human torsos encased in beaten iron armor, long lances of the same material aimed at her from three directions. what up.]

[ Oh she is not going to just get shot this time. She falls back into her chair and - dissolves into it? It's as if she dove backwards into a pool of water. The honeysuckle shot impacts the throne a moment later, leaving a black bullet hole in its wake. The lances, too, go through it in three spots, just shattering the throne to pieces.

From the small lake of glass at their feet, Pandora laughs. ]

--I forgot about the damn mirror jumping thing!!

[ Pulling his own gun out and circling the glass pond so that they have it more or less surrounded, between the three of them. ]
