I just thought it was worth the repost.)

**This all occurred in the bar last night.**

Quote :

*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal looks around the place.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: I see nothing.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Absolutely nothing.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal crosses her arms quietly, looking off at a wall.
** *The cellar door opens, a rummaging noise below* **
*** Steve Harst slowly starts pulling himself out, dragging a bag over his shoulder, grumbling to himself
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal doesn't seem to notice or care, staring at the wall across the room.
*** Steve Harst heaves himself up with the bag, closing the cellar door with a foot, before turning in her direction
*** Steve Harst stops, examining her throughouly, before it finally hits him who hes looking at, and he drops the bag he had
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Careful with those, or you'll be paying for them, for sure.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal doesn't know who he is yet.
*** Steve Harst blinks several startled times, only working out a weak ''T-T-..Tr-...''
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal turns her head to look at him, blinking herself out of what seems like a trance when she does.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal stares blankly.
Steve Harst: Tri-.. Trinical...?
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal can be seen visibly shuddering once, face flushing to a cherry red from a pale near-white.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal lowers her voice, talking in a cold, apathetic tone, "No.. it's Malice now. Sorry, Harst."
*** Steve Harst blinks a couple times. ''What..?''
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal doesn't blink as he does, "..You heard me..."
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..Trinical's gone.
** A nearly unnoticible gleam of hopelessness is seen in her eyes. **
*** Steve Harst blinks once more as he process' what that exactly means. Then it finally hits him that this isn't her hes talking to
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: All gone... sad, huh.
Steve Harst: What did you do.. with her?
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...Nothing.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She gave up, handed the reins over to someone else.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She's not in control anymore.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Your poor Trini doesn't have as much willpower as I figured..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...She was too easy to claim.
Steve Harst: ... No, theres no way she would give into another like that..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She didn't really have a choice, anyway.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal turns, looking straight at him, "So, how's life been treating you?"
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal 's blank expression -does not- change.
*** Steve Harst doesn't even bother answering the mocking question. ''Let... her... go.''
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal shrugs, "I would if I could."
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: But, she's just...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...Such a great gift to open...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..Again and again..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..watching her bleeeeed from the inside...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...So painful, so agonizing..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..watching her hurt her friends-- and lovers.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..Savoring each moment of her own destruction.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..heheh..
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal shifts her legs, staring into his eyes calmly, smirking now,
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She'll destroy this world, and then she'll get to watch it burn.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..Oh... so beautiful..
*** Steve Harst has the thought of just shooting her, but then remembers he will just be shooting Trinical..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..So dramatic..
Steve Harst: Shes not going to give into that... her will power is stronger then you give credit for
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal leans closer, smirking wider, "So chaotic.."
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Oh, but she did!
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: See?
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal points to herself, squinting her eyes calmly.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Where is she now, Harst?
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: You're in denial.
Steve Harst: Held back, by YOU.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Nah...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...I'm not even using a fraction of my strength.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She chickened out.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: In a nice, friendly game of arm-wrestling..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Your, Trinical, Lost.
Steve Harst: No, theres no way in HELL she would
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Oh, there isn't?
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Well, let me tell you something..
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal steps closer, straightening herself, expression going back to plain blankness,
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: This isn't hell.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: It will be soon, but it won't be now.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Sorry..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: --well, not really.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..But, you lose.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal puts a hand to her lips, kissing it, then blows him a kiss.
Steve Harst: ... Even if she did give in, what makes you think she won't resist after this?
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She can't, she knows that.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She's being a good little girl and sitting down to watch the painful fireworks.
Steve Harst: She wouldn't... she stood for somthing more then that. The day she lets a fuck like you, cause chaos, is never going to come..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Your blind, Harst.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She knows all is hopeless.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal looks down quickly, as if realizing something, then looks back at him.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal points to her eyes, the same shimmer of hopelessness in them-- genuine, and it just calls to him as Trini's.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: See?
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...She knows.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal lowers her arm.
Steve Harst: ... Damnit Trin, you've always been a fighter. How the hell can you give into this? You never back down!
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She isn't strong enough to face something that crushes your positive feelings..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She lost hope a -loooongg- time ago.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..When her mother died.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: But, she was doing so well!
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: You two were going to get married...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...Live happily ever after!
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Make love -deep- into the night.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: No pun intended.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: And... maybe even have children.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..She told me she would like to..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..So sad she can't..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: But that's not how life works, Harst.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: And 'sad' is just another word for 'pleasure', to me.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...Learn to enjoy it.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal smirks again, tilting her head to teh side.
Steve Harst: No... theres a way... theres always going to be SOMTHING left of her... if you can't even get rid of that
*** Steve Harst points at the ring on her finger. ''That shows you don't have total control.''
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Oh, this?
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal holds up her hand.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Yes.. it's become somewhat of a nuisance..
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal shakes her hand.
Steve Harst: Because it shows she still has a bit of power... and thats off of somthing positive.. you didn't crush it all.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Oh, you're so arrogant, Harst.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Take things as they come.. go with the flow.
Steve Harst: I'm not going to let you just rob her of her body, and will..
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal lifts her arms out at her sides, "I'm not!"
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She -gave- it to me, buddy!
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: It's rightfully -mine- now!
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She gave it all up.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..You, Kiris, Kelly,
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Everyone she knows, she just... -gave up-.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Doesn't that go to show...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...how much she doesn't -care- about you?
*** Steve Harst shakes his head. Not in a denial way. Just a plain 'no'.
Steve Harst: Heh.. you're wrong. I know her. She wouldn't just give us all up, in the blink of an eye.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Oh, no, it wasn't a blink.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: It was slooow...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: .. Over time..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: .. a nice little talk we had..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ..It was almost like sex.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...With herself.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...The pleasure of taking her body, was so intense...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...And the pain she felt almost arroused her.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Heheh..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She loved -every minute- of it.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: She gave it all up.
Steve Harst: ... You know, I'm fairly sure you're trying to hurt me.. but you're just coming off as an arrogant ass..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: No, I'm telling you the truth.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: You'll see soon enough..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...when the sun does't come p...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...and the sky is layered with blood..
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...Her blood.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Spilled... for herself... by herself.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...To -destroy you-.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal returns to the usual blank expression, straightening.
*** Steve Harst is just standing there, an eyebrow quirked in an non-impressed way.
Steve Harst: You done?
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Are you?
Steve Harst: No.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Good, I love a nice challenge..
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal extends a hand to Steve, black tendrils trailing from her fingers to him.
Steve Harst: Oh thats charming...
** It starts to feel as though Steve's body is being taken control of, pain sparking through his body sharply. **
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Let's see how much different your will, is from hers!
*** Steve Harst grunts sharply, but doesnt move to baddly, just his knees trembling once
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Come on...
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...Just give in. Learn to enjoy it.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal steps closer, the tendrils becoming thicker and the pain increasing.
*** Steve Harst grits his teeth, leaning forward a couple inchs as if about to bend, but straightens himself
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal lets out a growl, the tendrils becoming even thicker, pain increasing yet again, her red eyes flaring violently.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Your mine, Harst!
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: You'll be the first to die!
*** Steve Harst opens his eyes as wide as he can, sending out his own metal jolt into Trinical / Malices head, trying to pry in
** It works, strangely, and Malice seems too focused to notice. **
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...Why won't you die...
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal twitches continuously, still leeching life from steve
*** Steve Harst holds himself up, working as quickly as he can, trying to pry as far back as possible to locate Trinical
** He seems to find her, in a depressed state, just watching in horror. **
*** Steve Harst trys to gently pluck on Trinicals personality, to let her know hes there
** She seems to notice him, but can't respond **
*** Steve Harst starts trying to feed whatever useful thing he can to her, wether its any kind of courage, fond memory, or anything positive, he trys it
** She seems to get her strength back, and with determination, 'walks up to' Malice, and 'shoves her out of the way'. **
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal lurches, falling off to the side suddenly.
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Fuck!
** Steve abruptly hears Trini's voice, fading away fast; "I love you!" **
*** Steve Harst falls forward, catching himself on the counter, looking at Trinical / Malice when he hears her
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal seems to twitch on the ground, spazzing a couple times with a growl.
** He hears her again, "...Just, go... As far as you can.." **
*** Steve Harst is sure as hell not sure if he can pull off another mental breach with Malice on full alert like this
** "...From her.... find Kiris... Kelly... when you get a chance..." **
** "..You three.. together.. can help me take her out..." **
*** Steve Harst clears his throat, nodding slightly, and before Malice has a chance, rushing for the stairs
Steve Harst went into observe mode
** She yells out again, and a thump is heard from the inside... all is quiet afterwards. **
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal lies on the ground, snapping her eyes open and wide, a wicked smile spreading on her face,
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: Hehe, haha,
Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal: ...You lose.
*** Trinical ' Malice ' Vengal rolls onto her back, changing shape entirely...
