Equius: Be attack by furniture[Dictated]

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

[There's a few sounds at first. Heavy breathing, sounds of machinery being tampered with, some electrical sounds. Then it gets weird.

First there's sounds of moving furniture, not very unusual. Then the sounds of a door slamming.]

[Then the sounds of furniture crashing against things start.]

[More sounds of crashing things, followed by angry muttering before the journal is grabbed.]

D --> Something is wrong
D --> Who is responsible for this chaos, I order you to reveal yourself at once

[She knows those sounds. Those are never good sounds. As soon as they start Nepeta's rushing toward her journal, and also slipping on her blue slippers so she can make a dash for his room.]

What's going on? What is so wrong?

dictatertotted as always

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Nepeta.

[There's more sounds of breaking things.]

I seem to be under attack. The assailant appears to be invisible-

[CRASH!]

And is using my room's items as weaponry.

[rogueofheart]

[So it wasn't Equius throwing things again? She's a bit perplexed, but it's not her job to question, only to purrtect! Protect.]

Don't worry, I'm on my way. I'll help you catch them! Wait for me in the hallway if you can.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Yes, of course.

[The journal is closed and taken along. By the time Nepeta arrives Equius will be standing in the hallway, bracing himself against his room's door.]

[rogueofheart]

[When she arrives, she runs toward him. Most noticeably, she seems to be missing a shoe, and she isn't wearing her signature coat.

She stops just by his door, and without even asking props herself against it to help him hold it shut. She looks up at him, an exasperated expression on her face.]

Okay. It's gotta be a castle thing, because my closet wouldn't give me my coat and the elevator ate one of my shoes.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

[The missing coat did catch his eye. The fact that she wasn't wearing her most favorite piece of clothing was a bit of a shock.]

That is certainly odd.

[Something big slams against the door, possibly pushing Nepeta out of the way. Equius remains stalwart though.]

Is this a normal occurrence?

[rogueofheart]

[She tumbles forward at that, but she's right back up against that door a second later.]

This specifically? No, this doesn't happen very often. But the castle throwing a hissy fit? Yeah, that's on purr with the rest of the stuff that happens.

Okay. If we go in together, I'm pawsitive we can--

[Glass shatters against the door, cutting off Nepeta's words.]

On second thought, maybe we should ride this out somewhere else...

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

The castle...

[Something slams against the door again. It's going to give eventually.]

...Is throwing a hissy fit? That is indeed rather strange.

Yes, that would be for the best if we discussed this elsewhere.

...You go first.

[rogueofheart]

Ohhhh no. I'm not leaving you behind. [RAILS 4 LYFE; WE RIDE TOGETHA WE DIE TOGETHA]

We go on three. Deal?

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Nepeta, now is not the time to be discussing thi-

[Aaaand then the doors burst off their hinges. Nepeta will probably be unhurt, but Equius is currently being pushed across the room into the wall by a very angry bed. He starts wailing on it as it tries to crush him.]

[rogueofheart]

[She manages a sweet youth roll out of the way, but as soon as she sees Equius in trouble, she's on her feet and leaping toward--the bed? Is it seriously attacking him? This castle, man.

While Equius does his thing, she strips the bed of its blankets and sheets, tossing pillows aside. It's a start, at least. The perfect distraction.]

Hurry up and let's get out of here!

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

[Doing a STRONG FLIP, Equius manages to get away from the evil furniture and starts running.]

Yes, now is a good time to go.

[rogueofheart]

[She's tailing close behind, and when they reach the end of the hall she motions for him to take the stairs. It's either that, or risk becoming elevator food.]

We'll ride this out where the castle can't reach us. C'mon! I know the way.

Dictated

[whistles_the_blues]

...You okay over there?

Dictated

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

I assume I am.

[There's the sounds of something breaking. It sounds like glass.]

On the other hoof, maybe I am not.

[whistles_the_blues]

[That sounds painful.]

...Just what's going on over there?

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Nothing that I can not handle.

...Although, it is rather strange.

I appear to be being attacked.

[whistles_the_blues]

That much sounds obvious, but by what?

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

...I am not sure.

It is either some, unknown assailant who is invisible...

Or I am being attacked by my room.

[whistles_the_blues]

An unknown assailant does seem more likely...

But then again this is Paradisa, I wouldn't rule out the idea that your room might be a little upset.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Either sounds reasonable.

But... is the castle capable of that? Truly?

[whistles_the_blues]

It's capable of bending reality around us.

I don't think assaulting us with furniture is out of the question.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Hmm, I heard this castle is "alive" in a sense.

Surely I can just order it to stop.

[whistles_the_blues]

You can certainly try.

[Okay, he's not going to lie. He wants to see how this goes.]

1/

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

And I shall.

[He steps away from the journal and takes a breath.]
