(mostly open) oh this love would kill me

[entreats]

Who: Ange, Ruby, and you!
What: Ruby and Ange's wedding, and all their CR is invited!
When: Late October
Where: The rebuilt Clockhouse

Content Warnings: Semi-irresponsible weapon usage.




Sometime around the beginning of October invitations would have started to be sent out to the various people in Trench Ange and Ruby know - announcing the two girls' wedding at the end of the month.

When the day itself comes, people will find the location - the newly rebuilt Clockhouse, which some of the invitees may have helped rebuild in the first place - tastefully decorated. Some of the house's stranger features have been covered up by decorations in red and gold, mostly taking on the shapes of roses and butterflies all over the place.

[Ruby watches as he examines the weapon and gives a little not at his question.]

You're right. The combination of the two means it's packs a punch when it hits and if the blade connects it's going to sink in pretty hard.

Do you need any pointers on how to throw it or do you just want to take a whack at it?

[payingfordeliverance]

Oh, let me have a go on my own first. I want to see what I can manage half clueless.

[It is a good thing Break is like this with things like deadly weapons and not his horrifying blood magic that bows to his whims based on the strength of his belief, or we would all really be in trouble by now.

He is, of course, not at all conservative about throwing things, and in the past has done things like toss forks hard enough to embed them in trees with frightening accuracy, given that he was blind at the time. And also hanging upside down from a different tree. The axe being weighted so differently gives him an amusing challenge here. A little more fiddling tells him that the over-the-head stance he is seeing others use is ideal, but using both hands doesn't suit him at all, so he goes ahead and drops down to just the one. Some thought as to when the best time to let go in the downward swing will be, and then --

In his first attempt he is *aiming* to embed the axe blade first in the Mother Mercy dummy's chest. Instead he nails her right in the throat with the blunt side, which is probably also deeply satisfying to watch for those who hate her, though Break has very little context and is just apparently unbothered by dummies meant to look like specific people being set up as the subject of violence at a wedding party.]

Hm! Drat.

[Said with great cheer.]

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby probably would have been willing to leave well enough alone when it came to Mother Mercy. But she had caused a lot of problems as Mother Superior and looked to still be at it despite the redemption themed name. Ruby had told her back in the dream that one day she'd be asking for forgiveness and she intended to keep her word.

But still she is impressed as heck by Break aim and let's out a cheer of delight.]

Drat? Drat!? You missed the target but you totally took off her head. Way to go bud!

[payingfordeliverance]

Oh, sure, but precise aim is crucial for anything real, you know, Miss Ruby. Sometimes you want to hit that artery in the thigh that has somebody bleeding out in minutes, and sometimes you only want to hamstring a guy so he can't run about inconveniently. These scenarios have very different endings!

[Uncle Break is scary, actually. More news at 11.]

[onekindsoul]

Ooooh- Good point!

I already know that lesson though. Sometimes you don't even want to hit them. I once fired a shot with Crescent Rose and used the force of the kick back to slice off a guy's tail.

I was pretty upset at the time.

[Break... Isn't the only one who can be scary.]

[payingfordeliverance]

Slice off a guy's tail.

[Break mutters this under his breath as his brain sifts through his list of Remnant Facts accumulated from Ruby and Qrow and Oscar, searching for the context for this. Once he hits it, he lights up and even claps his hands for her a little.]

Oh, oh, that'd be that nasty scorpion fellow, right? Attagirl! He deserved it.

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby gives a grin. Look. There is a part of her that certainly didn't want to hurt people. There was another part of her who knew that was her job sometimes and that's what happened in fights.]

He absolutely did. No weird serial killer is going to hurt my uncle and get away with it.

So I showed him what's what.

[payingfordeliverance]

Mm, he's on our list of people to kill on sight if they ever turn up here.

[Break and Qrow do not have such qualms. Sometimes a dude just really needs to be dead. Especially if they are serial killers, thinks Break, a reformed serial killer.]

[onekindsoul]

[And Ruby gets a little offended at this.]

Well get in line! I'm going to beat him up first.
