Evening, June 15, 1999
Three are down, three are dead.
Haruhi. Rosa. Alice.
The Princess will be free of her chains soon, Hope from Pandora's box bright and innocent and so easy to be crushed by the unscrupulous. Enemies lie everywhere - the sisters, no matter which side they take, they're out of the way for now. If there are still enemies to take care of, if she's still alive at the end of the night, she'll see if she needs to drag anything out from under their skins.
Four to go. Tomosuke's message had been clear. A turncoat twice over, no fit familiar for a witch. Even a treacherous witch.
With Maria's betrayal, there's really no time to waste. Can't check on the prince, if he's gone then that's just wasted time, if he's not then that's still wasted time, if he's taken a turn for the worse and died then too bad for him, Maya's reign'll just have to kick off with a tragic star-crossed romance, it's his fault for getting in the way.
Time, time - wires strung across doorways and stairwells, ancient crossbows dredged up from the basement, sharp stakes and slippery steps in strategic places, all the traps her wild ingenuity can summon into being, and, of course, a certain upgrade for the power of Venus, purchased with the help of papa's credit card.
Mia will be back to free Maya tomorrow, so it has to be tonight.
A challenge must be issued to the worst of the demons remaining. With the power of love and beauty, she'll defend this household, and with that, she dials Nui. With Alice's cell phone, of course. She might not pick up for Minako, but she definitely will for Alice. Power of love. It's what she's got and she'll use every single tool at her disposal for the sake of her liege.

to laugh.
it's a harsh, sharp thing that has no place coming out of her mouth with the way her expression is twisted with fright and clear uncertainty but she'll try. Venus -- Minako -- wants villains, does she? Enemies to fight. So, if it means keeping these people safe, then Chiyoko is damn sure going to give her an enemy to fight.
When she speaks, her voice comes in a low drawl, the very essence of smugness and even though she looks sick to her stomach, she practically coos in response - ]
I'm so glad to finally talk to you, Venus. You've been causing me so much grief.
no subject
But now Chiyoko is talking all weird and its distracting Osaka from her general horrified confusion. Or maybe she wants something else to think about right away. The point is Osaka looks at Chiyoko with a perplexed look and silently mouths a few words at her:
"What the Fuck."]
no subject
she has a plan ok it's not a particularly good or well thought out plan, but it's A Plan so just keep quiet and let her do this
... she attempts to convey all they with hand gestures and who knows how effective she is in actually getting it across ]
no subject
[ Is she the leader? That might make sense. But Nui's more of one. Was more of one. She's got the blonde pigtails, after all. Chiyoko's just sick and bossy. ]
no subject
[Don't mind Maya, she's just
over here
with the corpse of her friend who just died
because of her.
Suddenly, that speech seemed so distant.]
no subject
[ another laugh. it's more of a cackle, really. a real witch's cackle. ]
Wouldn't that be nice and convenient? But, no. I'm sure you know what I really came here for, Space~ Witch~ Venus~.
no subject
That's right! The president is the president of witches too!
no subject
It doesn't feel like enough.]
no subject
What about Souji, did he get too close to the truth?
[ Ah... or perhaps he was in league with them to start, but fell for the beautiful Minako and couldn't bear to turn on her when the time drew too near. Either way, this is the enemy. For revenge for destiny for Maya she'll die. ]
1/2
no subject
Maria thought Venus got Souji?
no subject
[But if it wasn't Minako... did that mean there was some OTHER murderer wandering around town?!]
no subject
[ Well, there's only one reason she could be thinking that, isn't there? Venus wouldn't hurt a civilian, after all! Venus is pure. ]
You mean he was one of you after all? Sheesh, that's what I get for underestimating a pretty man!
no subject
[Well, whatever this meant, it's enough to get her to focus now.]
M-minako!
no subject
[ The traps won't harm her, of course. She is the Moon Princess. But the demons and witches don't have to know that; it'll give them ideas about using her as bait. ]
no subject
A--as you can hear, your princess is with me now, Venus. I haven't much use for the rest of these pawns anymore, but sitting back and watching you kill more of your friends would certainly be entertaining if that's the price you're going to pay for getting her back.

no subject
You, Maria, anyone at all who threatens the Princess! Now come at me, and meet your end!
[ CLICK beep beep beep ]
no subject
I... I coulda... I coulda done that a little better... ahah...
no subject
So she imitates what she sees on tv and pats Chiyoko on the back.] Ya did good...
no subject
no subject
I knew somethin' was gonna happen. Me an' Nui, ever since that stupid ritual -- we knew someone was gonna flip out and start hurtin' people, so we said we were gonna find out whoever it was and stop 'em.
So much for that.
[ she finally looks up and there's a shaky smile on her face that doesn't reach her eyes at all. ]
If... if this is the only way I can make sure no one else dies, you're damn right I'm okay with doin' it.
no subject
We.... we can't let anyone else die here! We just can't! [She frowns.] Minako needs to be taken down!
