[ Everything about this is wrong.

It's the tank of Darkblood, the sense of a witch's workshop, the blacks of their eyes— he should not be reminded of something far older and more terrible than a vengeful child, and yet. He looks upon Chara and cannot help the frisson of fear. ]

I am here to put a stop to the violence.

[the_obedient_servant]

[They turn, looking at him directly with a bemused smile. The black emptiness in their eyes bleeds and trails down their chalky face.

A stop to the violence, he says, as if he is not here to enact it. A stop to the violence, he says, as if he is not here to join his friend.]

And how do you intend to do that?

[clocktowers]

[ That black spills down their face like weeping tar, and he shifts back on startled instinct, openly uneasy. He holds the cane in his hand lightly, ready to free its blade at any moment. His hands are steady, but the tension in them is plain to see. ]

By putting a stop to you.

[ He clicks the mechanism that unsheathes the cane's blade: sharpened dream antler, off-white and surreal in this lighting. He holds it like a sword. ]

[the_obedient_servant]

[They smile, cruel and empty, and pull the dagger - gnarled and red and pulsing to the beat of their heart - from their soul. The symbol of their bond, the one thing that ties them to their partner in this world.]

You're certainly welcome to.

[They make no move to attack yet. They find that the first move is less of an advantage under this system.]

[clocktowers]

[ Ozpin takes the opening, and strikes first.

He darts in with the bladed cane, unnaturally fast— even with all Trench's changes to him, he has retained a few advantages, a few tricks worthy of a Huntsman— to land a jabbing flurry of blows. He is striking to wound and disable, not to kill.

His opponent looks like a child, for all that he tells himself they are as corrupted and lost as the victim of a Chill: a human puppet to some darker impulse. This is Oscar's murderer. He should not hold back.

He still does. ]

[the_obedient_servant]

[He does catch them at multiple times, his cane sliding off their skin with a wicked crack and a hollow scratching sound, like their skin is made of chalk, or frozen solid. It's hard to tell whether it's even skin anymore.

Their natural defence makes the attacks weaker, especially due to the mundane nature of the weapon, and the ways in which he's holding back. Weak. His resolve will falter and Chara will get the opening required to kill him.

Of course, while Ozpin might have lost the majority of his power upon arriving in this world, Chara has only gained more. Sasuke's training in particular has helped them hone their instincts and reflexes, and it's with that training that - as fast as lightning - their offhand seizes Ozpin's wrist with an unnatural strength, summoning up the chakra required to break it with a vicious crunch.]

Would you like another turn, Professor?
