Mista	Where's Bucci, shit.
21:47		Buccellati gives a grunt but no more sounds of pain, Sticky Fingers shuddering to a halt from the pain, and struggles to grope around and find a surface that's not the floor, before settling for reaching up and just. unzipping the dude himself
21:48	Narancia	We can't, we can't get out, we can't leave everyone--
21:48		Narancia carefully steps over Abbachio and glances inside the room and--uh--makes eye contact with one of the damaged assassins from the fight
21:49	Mista	What, you think that's what I meant? You think I'd leave him behind, what the fuck?
21:49		Mista panicking
21:49		Narancia FALLS BACK AGAINST WALL and Aerosmith appears with a flourish of whirring sounds
21:49		baddies the guy mostly panics and screeches and stops, but his buddy takes up after him, putting hands on either side of bucci's head and pulling it up and slamming it, hard, against the floor. Again. Again. Again.
21:50		Buccellati vision blurs terribly and there's a weird shattering sound as Sticky Fingers's helmet cracks and they feel their consciousness slipping, body twitching a little in an attempt to make some sort of defense
21:50		baddies the guy who got kicked is getting up, and the ones who are taking care of giorno apparently remembered they existed or s/t I totally didn't forget or nothin, because they're beginning to round on Narancia and Mista and Trish
21:50		Mista still crouched, trying to put pressure on Abbachio's wound, looking around warily with gun still raised
21:50	Narancia	No, no, no--
21:50		Narancia DARTS TOWARDS TRISH and shoves her back into the room
21:51	Narancia	Stay there!! Stay there, Trish! Try to find the ticking and get rid of it! Don't come out!
21:51		Trish stumbles back, looking too panicked to even argue
21:51	Trish	O-- ok--ok, I'll --
21:51	Mista	Wh- what the fuck, no, we have to leave! We have to get everyone out!
21:51		Trish starts trying to find the mysterious ticking noise even if she's freaking the fuck out
21:52		Narancia slams door to the room and shakes head, eyes wide
21:52	Narancia	I don't think we have t-time, we can't get everyone in that time, we--there's still people--they're coming for us--
21:52		baddies one of them is still hitting Bucci against the ground, making sure they're supposedly dead. The others are ? finally starting to attack nara and mista, because i guess they walk really slow or s/t? I don't know? Shut up anyway
21:52	Mista	Right. Right, right, right. Shit.
21:53		Buccellati completely still by now, head bleeding out everywhere
21:53		baddies the one attacking bucci gets up, satisfied enough, leaving his fallen buddies and going out to the main room, swearing at his amigos because they're fucking useless, and drawing a gun on Mista and Narancia
21:53		baddies why didn't he use the gun on bucci? Shut up is why
21:54		Mista stands up, gun veering from one assassin to another as they approach, finally shoots one
21:54		Mista unfortunately it's the one with the mostly-invisibility stand, so the Pistols have a hard time directing the bullet and it doesn't do as much damage as it should
21:55		Narancia doesn't bother putting down target finder because of the short range and just turns Aerosmith towards the intruders, releasing a flurry of bullets
21:55	Narancia	Ohhh this is s-so bad what if I hit one of the gang--
21:56	Mista	Shit, Giorno can heal them, right? They can heal Abba, it'll be fine. Just. Uh.
21:56		baddies one gets shot right in the shoulder by pistols, then they're all peppered with bullets by aerosmith, one dropping from bullets that smashed into his skull. the guy w/the gun aims hard at Narancia and sneers and shoots while another aims to kick mista's feet from under him
21:57		Mista doesn't want to shoot all his bullets at once, reloading will take too much time, so he's caught off-guard by the kick while trying to decide where to shoot and whoops he falls back against the wall
21:57		Mista bullet goes wild, four left, fuck
21:58		Narancia manages to duck, the bullet grazing shoulder but in his panic he can barely feel it, just turns Aerosmith in front of him for some shield as well and has it turn its guns right into the asshole's face
21:58		fugo returning feeling childish after his argument, fear making him freeze up suddenly when he hears gunshots and sees the two assassins standing guard outside the cabin
21:58		Trish MEANWHILE, IN THE ROOM: she's found the bomb and is promptly freaking out. what do you do with a bomb. she is NOT meant for this
21:58		*** Buccellati is now known as Toughies
21:58		fugo calls Purple Haze frantically without entirely meaning to , oops
21:59		Mista is luckily distracted from freaking about the four by trying to get his feet under him, braces himself against the wall and fires at the asshole who kicked him
22:00		Toughies turn to Fugo looking a bit surprised, like they hadn't expected someone to be approaching, but one quickly goes into action, calling out a powerhouse of a stand and moving towards him
22:01		fugo Purple Haze lets out its strange, gurgling growling sound, moving without being told and swinging its fists viciously into the stand as Fugo tries to make himself do something other than stare in blank fear
22:01		baddies the guy after mista didn't bring a gun or nothin to a gunfight which is uh whatever man -- instead he somehow inexplicably manages to dodge hard away from the bullet just as the guy with the gun is moving away from Narancia's shots; they end up trading places smoothly and the guy without a gun pulls a knife out and swings around behind narancia
22:02		baddies the gun guy pulls off a few shots that mostly miss mista's vitals but still cut through flesh
22:02		Toughies mostly because the guy probably doesn't know which person this is Purple Haze makes contact and the infection spreads easily, and a horrifying scream exits the stand user's mouth, alarming the other assassin enough to prompt him to get his gun out
22:03		fugo growling and drooling as it stands over the twitching body, keeping itself in front of Fugo on instinct
22:04		Narancia blinks in surprise at the swap and is still trying to watch the gun user when he realizes there's someone behind him, a bit too late, and he yells in pain as he feels the first stab and drops down his target finder quickly, trying to hone in on the other guy's breath signature
22:05		Toughies this user's stand seems to be capable of flight and as he calls it out it leaps into the air, carrying him a ways up so he has a clearer shot at Fugo, so he fires a few bullets
22:07		Mista yells when he's shot, but doesn't do much more than jerk to the side - his pauses have given the Pistols time to get more bullets, so he fires off his three remaining shots directly at the gun guy's head and more bullets file into place
22:07		Mista THEN he staggers a little
22:07		baddies manages to shove the knife into Narancia's back again before aerosmith finds him and the bullets catch him by surprise enough that he leaves the knife in Narancia's back. The other guy, fighting Mista, doesn't expect Mista to react so well and so all three bullets land true in his forehead and he drops instantly
22:07		fugo shocked into action and manages to dive away from the bullets, one catching him in the side and the over tearing a gash in his forehead- he breathes a sigh of relief before feeling the burning, itching sensation and feeling his heart drop again
22:08		fugo Purple Haze, enraged by the wounds and the damage to its user, forgets the stand entirely and makes a beeline for the assassin himself
22:09		Narancia as the guy drops and the pathway to the living room is clear he can see Giorno, and after being unable to differentiate between Mista and this guy's breath he decides to take a different route, and runs a bit down the hall before collapsing from pain, crawling towards Giorno instead
22:09		Trish good news, friends, she has figured out to soften the bomb. now she's holed up in the other corner of the room, trying to steady her breathing
22:10		fugo Purple Haze grabs the guy and lifts him up, pulling till he tears down the middle of his stomach like paper, splattering Fugo with blood
22:10		baddies the man attacking Narancia is distracted enough by his new bullet wounds that he doesn't think to follow Narancia for a moment
22:10		Toughies WELP TOTALLY DEAD,
22:11		Narancia doesn't bother pulling the knife out until he gets to Giorno, and only then reaches a shaky hand back to yank it out with a scream, bleeding out quickly but using the knife to slash away at the rosaries until Giorno is free
22:11		baddies then tears after narancia, shoving mista out of the way, but it's too late, giorno is free... and they look pissed. the guy comes to a halt in the entrance of the room
22:12		fugo sobs into his hands and forces his stand to retreat with every fiber of his mind left, starting to drag himself dazedly towards the cabin
22:12		Mista Mista levels his gun at baddies but sees Giorno standing up and just watches, gun still up but waiting
22:14		giorno stares at Narancia without really recognizing him before shoving him away carelessly one they're free, moving so quick they're nearly a blur as they tackle the nearest man to the ground and hit them again and again, screeching horribly, til brain matter splatters against their fists and the floor around them
22:15		Narancia hits a wall hard from the shove but after a little sob of pain he goes into action again, thinking maybe if he can get out, he can get help, and he struggles to his feet, trailing blood to the door and opening it and--oh hi fugo
22:16		fugo his eyes go wide and he scrambles backwards in the dirt, blood caked on his face and down the front of his shirt, shuddering and shaking his head frantically at Narancia to keep back
22:16	fugo	N-no no, don't- you can't be near me, I might still be sick-
22:18		Narancia stares for a moment before falling to knees, shaking, blood pooling out around knees where it's coming from back, cute
22:18		giorno giorno continues hitting the man long after he's dead before pausing to sniff the air, turning their head to stare at the other attacker frozen in fear probably
22:18		*** fuckityfuck joined #jjbabies
22:18		baddies the remaining guy backs up into a corner, staring at Giorno in utter horror as his associate gets bashed
22:18	fuckityfuck	hi im fuckityfuck and bored
22:18		*** fuckityfuck was kicked by Trish (Trish)
22:20		Mista doesn't really want to watch this, remembers Trish, shit, does she need help? Slides down the wall until he's at the door, and opens it
22:20		giorno walks towards him, limping horribly from the burns on their legs, their eyes wide and inhumanly bright under the gore on their face
22:20	Narancia	Was... was there m-more people, out here?
22:20	Mista	Are you- is it safe? They're... is the bomb-
22:21		Trish shudders out a sob when she sees it's just Mista
22:21		giorno wraps a hand almost delicately around their arm before ripping it from its socket, tossing the man like a ragdoll across the room and moving to pick him up again, throwing him once more, repeating it til he's limp and lifeless
22:21	Trish	I u-used spice girls on it, it sh-shouldn't explode, there's no one in here, oh my god, Mista--
22:22		fugo Fugo stares at him and tries to speak, gesturing over to the mess his stand had left instead
22:22		Narancia looks over, eyes tired
22:22	Mista	I don't know what's going on, Giorno's killing the last of them, I think... I think that's the last.
22:22	Narancia	Oh... g-good.
22:22	Narancia	Fugo...
22:23		giorno probably shoving handfuls of this freshly killed meat into their mouth tbh
22:23	Mista	I don't know if Abba and Bucci are... I'm sure they'll be fine, Giorno can heal them.
22:23		Mista repeating it to himself like a mantra
22:24	Mista	Giorno can heal them.
22:24	Narancia	Everyone's h-hurt. I...
22:24		fugo trying to breathe without shaking so badly, staring at Narancia as the infection sears into his face again
22:24		Trish coughs out another sob, tears streaming down her face
22:24	fugo	If you- I have- the antidote, in m-my- in the room-
22:24	Trish	How -- How bad is it, out there?
22:24	Narancia	Oh. Oh... here?
22:24	Narancia	I-in which room? I...
22:25		Narancia struggles to stand, slipping and sobbing briefly before grabbing doorknob to get to feet
22:25		Trish fumbling for the nightstand where she has kept her phone
22:25		fugo Fugo staring at the gap in his side his ribs are gleaming white through
22:25	Narancia	Fugo, in wh-what room, Fugo?
22:25	Mista	Bad. [choked desperate laugh] Narancia's fine, and I think... I think Fugo's back. But there's blood everywhere, and if Purple Haze-
22:25		Mista shudders convulsively
22:26	fugo	In the room you were sleeping in, i-in my bags, a glass bottle..
22:26	Mista	But he and Narancia and Giorno are alive. Narancia's gonna... there was a knife... But he's alive.
22:26		fugo theres a little sliver of his skull showing through his forehead too. cute
22:26		Narancia nods, and steels self for a moment before limping as quickly as he can through the gore of the living room, avoiding where Giorno's munching away and walking into the room where Mista and Trish are
22:27	Narancia	...
22:27		Trish takes a shaky breath and calls for an ambulance
22:27	Narancia	Fugo's face is melting.
22:27		Narancia leans down quietly to ruffle through bags
22:27		Trish chokes at the sight of Narancia
22:27	Narancia	H-here it is...
22:27	Mista	Shit.
22:28		Narancia stands, falls over promptly, and then just... crawls on all fours out again... bye
22:28		giorno growling like a dog with piece of flesh hanging from their mouth as they watch him go back
22:28		Narancia slips in guts............ lmao
22:28		Trish speaks panicked into the phone as quickly as possible, trying to sound collected and failing
22:28		Narancia and finally gets to door and throws the antidote to Fugo
22:28	Narancia	...I.
22:28	Narancia	I think I'm gonna sleep.
22:29		Trish when she's done she finally has the presence of mind to go over to mista and try to help him up
22:29		fugo manages to get his hands to stop shaking badly long enough to stab it into the top of his thigh, sobbing as he drags himself over to Narancia
22:30		Narancia waits until Fugo is close enough and then blinks sleepily, smiling weakly up at him before just, curling up in his lap, closing eyes
22:30		Mista hisses in pain a lot, groans like a baby but has also been SHOT so maybe it's OK
22:30	Trish	We should -- get outside, so when the ambulances show -- Oh god.
22:30		Trish has Seen the damage
22:30		Mista manages to stand, not sure whether he really wants to move
22:31		giorno still crouched over the mess of bodies and growling
22:31		fugo hugging him tightly to his chest and rocking back and forth, pressing his hands to the gashes to try and keep them more closed
22:31		Trish tries to swallow her fear and nerves and move her and mista out into the main room; sees fugo and narancia
22:31	Mista	We have to... get Abba and...
22:31	Trish	Is he -- is he asleep? Don't let him sleep, keep him awake, F-fugo--
22:32	Mista	And Bucci, shit, are they-
22:32		fugo staring at her blankly, probably in shock himself
22:32	Trish	Oh god, I can't do this, I'm so sorry, oh god--
22:32		Narancia startles awake at the wail of ambulances, blinking up at Mista and Trish
22:32		Trish glances at Giorno and pulls back in fear ... theyre in the way to abba and bucci's door
22:32	Mista	I don't think I can lift Abba on my own... [kind of mumbling to himself]
22:33	Trish	H-here, shh, just, sit with fugo and narancia, ok, I'll -- I'll be right back --
22:33		Mista falls heavily to his knees
22:33		giorno starts at the sound of the sirens and freezes, eyes reflecting the light strangely as they creep toward the door
22:34		Narancia dazed, stares at where he can see Giorno approaching the door
22:34		Trish she sets him down gently and then goes back to where she knows giorno's things are and finds their phone, smearing blood over it as she calls Dio
22:34	Narancia	Hi Giogio...
22:34		Trish because who the fuck else are you going to call?
22:35		fugo shifts vaguely to touch Mista's sleeve, pulling him closer, drooling from the hole burned through his cheek probably
22:35		*** Dio- joined #jjbabies
22:36		Trish when he picks up:
22:36		Mista is so nervous but leans in, ack
22:36	Trish	Dio? Dio Brando? Y-your sibling is tearing people apart.
22:37	Dio-	They do that. Have you been attacked?
22:37		Dio- is very terse just now
22:37		fugo gets his back pressed against a tree or SOMEthing and pulls Mista close, clinging to both him and Narancia in exhaustion
22:37	Mista	Hey, it'll...
22:38	Trish	Y-yes. Have you?
22:38		Mista he can't say it, he can't say it'll be all right
22:38		Trish leans out of room to glance at giorno. scary shit
22:38	Narancia	Abbachio won't die... Buccellati either...
22:38	Narancia	They told me they'd live forever, so...
22:39	Dio-	It seems to be going around. Jonathan is-- [cuts himself off] What happened? Was Giorno hurt?
22:39	Dio-	I didn't see- [cuts himself off again]
22:39		fugo makes a little choked sobbing sound again, shaking and hugging them both close
22:40	Trish	I don't -- I th-think they had them... tied up, somehow, c-crosses, they aren't themselves, they look like they could -- like they could rip me to pieces if I got too close, I don't know what to do with them--
22:40		Trish voice shaking
22:40		giorno creeping towards Trish slowly and curiously as she speaks, stepping delicately around the guts spilled over the floor
22:40		Dio- wraps his arms around Fugo, being scared is for losers who don't have other things to be scared of
22:40	Dio-	((nope))
22:40	Narancia	[ no dio/fugo ]
22:40	Mista	wraps his arms around Fugo, being scared is for losers who don't have other things to be scared of
22:40	Trish	Abba and Bucci are still in their room I can't get past Giorno to get to them.
22:41		Dio- growls under his breath.
22:41		giorno staring at Trish from the doorway, hello
22:41	Dio-	Don't go near them. Find a back way. DON'T go near them.
22:41		Trish panicked breath
22:41	Dio-	I'll be right there. Stay away.
22:42	Narancia	It's cold in this forest, huh...?
22:42	Trish	P-please hurry--
22:42	Dio-	You've called for help, I assume?
22:42	Dio-	I'll be there before them.
22:43		fugo slurring speech a little
22:43	Trish	Y-yes, thank you, I -- I have to go.
22:43	fugo	You have to stay awake, you can't sleep now.
22:43		Trish drops phone unceremoniously to scooch away from the door in case giorno decides to be, uh, friendly
22:43	Narancia	Is it morning?
22:43	fugo	No it's night time, but you hhave to stay up.
22:44	Narancia	Ah...
22:44		giorno doesn't do anything but watch her curiously, head tilted a little, still bleeding sluggishly from their wounds
22:44	Narancia	Fugo, you can sleep in our room, Bucci said...
22:45	fugo	I'm ssorry for pushing you.
22:45		Narancia shakes head
22:45	fugo	And yelling, and-
22:46	Narancia	Giorno pushed me... too...
22:46	Narancia	But...
22:46		fugo hugs both of them tighter and starts crying again
22:47		Trish pressed against a wall, trying not to move too much or too suddenly, they're not a t-rex trish
22:47	fugo	We didn't even get to be married yet, it was going t-to be- you wanted it to be big-
22:48	Narancia	We are going to get married...
22:48	Narancia	Wh-what're you talking about?
22:48	Mista	You're not gonna die, stop that!
22:48	Mista	You're not.
22:48	fugo	Ah- hnn- fine, I won't-
22:48	Mista	No, you won't.
22:48		Mista pouty
22:48	fugo	We would just be married in Heaven then, anyway.
22:49		Narancia laughs weakly
22:49	fugo	Is that fancy enough for you tesoro?
22:49	Narancia	I want... mm...
22:50	Narancia	I want a saint to be th-the pastor, the person who marries you...
22:50	Narancia	Who says...
22:50		Narancia little vague motion
22:50	Narancia	Aaaand now you may kiss the bride, except, there's no bride...
22:50		fugo makes a sound halfway between crying and giggling
22:51		Mista scowling
22:51		giorno settles down to watch her, flicking their eyes absently to the two bodies in the hallway before picking pieces of bone from their teeth in vague irritation
22:51	Mista	You have to let a priest do it first, since you're getting married on earth first.
22:51	Mista	That's not gonna be the first time.
22:51	fugo	O-oh, so we will- have to be double married, then-
22:52	Narancia	Double married...
22:52	fugo	That's alright, I love you enough to be married twice...
22:52	Mista	Yeah.
22:52	Narancia	With all seven of us, that's fourteen times.
22:52	Mista	With a long time in between.
22:52	fugo	Probably expensive ...
22:52	Narancia	But I'm gonna be okay, Fugo.
22:53	Narancia	It'll all be okay.
22:53		Dio- makes his way through the trees
22:53		fugo nods tiredly and rests his head back, trying not to close his eyes
22:53		giorno looks up alert suddenly
22:53		Dio- sees Giorno, nods resignedly.
22:54		giorno snarls at him and tenses up again
22:54		Dio- frowns
22:54	Dio-	Giorno, can you hear me?
22:54	Dio-	Or understand, is more relevant.
22:54		giorno shakes their head like a dog trying to rid its ears of water, looks vaguely confused
22:56		giorno (no they cant understnad him rly)
22:56		Dio- steps forward slowly, SO slowly, hands at his sides.
22:56		Dio- speaking as calmly as he can
22:56	Dio-	Come with me, Giorno. You need to calm down.
22:57		Dio- sees the marks of the rosaries on Giorno's skin and can't suppress a growl, which probably doesn't helo
22:57	Dio-	*help
22:57		giorno snarls back at him again, misinterpreting it, and lunges for him in some kind of attack
22:58		Narancia lifts head when he sees the ambulance lights coming up the path
22:59		Dio- grabs Giorno's arms and holds them steady, holding Giorno close and not particularly caring if they gnaw him as long as they can't claw
23:00		giorno biting his shoulder and shaking their head side to side like a dog
23:00	Dio-	You need to calm down. You're coming with me.
23:01		Dio- growls at them on purpose this time, lifts them up, makes his way out of the clearing and speeds off, holding them tightly
