Resident...Evil?
Despite the garbage that went down earlier in the week, Melissa found herself a happier camper today. The Boss Man's check cleared; she and Kelly were now much more financially solvent. After a call to her lawyer, Diane, to get bills and things paid, Mel goes downstairs to have herself a victory dance, or as they're called, a beer. Never mind that it's early in the morning and that she hasn't hand breakfast, which also sounds like a good idea, Mel just wants to enjoy having her money, her girl, her magic and her guns.

Kelly was right about this whole mercenary gig; it paid dividends, even if being shot at and nearly killed by life-draining nutjobs was part of the job. They'd also done the world a favor by removing Benedict Kine's sorry self from it, and Mel figured they deserved medal for that. Instead, they got hefty-paychecks. Maybe she'd /buy/ herself a medal.

She walks into the kitchen, going through the cupboards to see if there's any eggs to make an omelet. If there is bacon, it's left untouched.

Bacon is against her personal religion.

	The icicles mostly miss amidst an acrobatic dodge, but Kelly does take one long, bloody streak down her arm. She lands in a crouch, tracing her tongue up the line of blood even as the wound heals, giving Ice Mistress a creepy grin. "You always this frigid?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes," Ice Mistress said, forming a giant icicle sent straight at Kelly to pierce her heart. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She could dodge, but this always has such a lovely effect on people who shoot her, bullets, ice, whatever.

She takes the shot in the heart, going staggering before falling over with ice jutting out of her chest. Her eyes roll back in her head and her breathing goes still.

A few seconds later, she sits up again, a hand reaching to draw the ice out, her eyes taking a few more moments to reset, so she appears to be just staring at the MoE member with blank white eyes for a few seconds, before she starts to stand, holding the bloody ice in one hand like a sword.

"I should have known when we met that you'd break my heart." she sing-songs.

	Candy blinked. How the hell did she do that? She furrowed her brow, working on imprisoning Crosshairs in block of ice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ok, that would be more inconvenient. Kelly dodges, leaping out of the forming block, bouncing off a car hood, up onto the top of an SUV, constantly moving to make it hard to draw a bead on her. Mid-leap, she flings the bloody icicle back at Ice Mistress, and draws a pistol instead, opening fire as she rolls along the top of the SUV. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ice Mistress shattered the bloody icicle before it could pierce her, sending the shards back at Kelly. She dodged quickly to avoid getting shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The shards tear up the top of the truck and break the windows out, as well as scoring a couple hits on Kelly, though the worst of them is already starting to heal. At least she has the other girl dodging. She leaps off the SUV, landing in a roll, trying to get up close and personal to take this to hand to hand range. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ice Mistress formed several icicles, keeping them hovering in the air above her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kelly draws a second gun, crouching atop the truck like a leathery gargoyle.

"Well now, we have ourselves quite a situation here, don't we? You have icicles, I have guns. Both of them have impressive penetrating power, with significant ability to cause internal organ damage, internal bleeding, shrapnel wounds... if I were a normal girl, I wouldn't want to be either of us right about now."

She cocks her pistols, aiming them, but not pulling the triggers. "But there's two additional factors to consider in our current situation. You look like a smart girl... so if you like, I'll give you the opportunity to ask what those are... or we can both just start shooting and count the holes when we're done... holes that came factory installed don't count."

	Ice Mistress certainly wasn't going to quit. "Bring it on, then," she said, sending a flurry Kelly's way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Ice Mistress goesbothways 2010-09-30 01:58 am UTC (link)
	Kelly backflips off the truck, firing all the way, using the truck as an ice shield. The icicles helpfully finish shattering the windows out, so upon hitting the ground she dives into the truck and sticks her guns out the opposite window, still firing, now from better cover. "Tsk, I thought you were smarter than that. Ah well. More fun this way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kelly has taken some hits too, and looks a bit of a mess with her arms and torso covered in little blood specs and sharp ice chips, but the wounds themselves are closing up.

She re-holsters both guns, and draws her Colt Python, aiming it at Ice Mistress.

"Now, before I was so rudely interrupted by you deciding to fight when I wanted to exchange witty banter... which was very rude of you, by the way, there are currently three things preventing me from shooting you in the head with my big fucking gun... come on, ask me what they are."

Kelly was offering to be nice... let someone live... and this is how she's repaid? The nerve! Hitting her in the vitals with an ice shard is one thing, just to be expected under such circumstances... but messing with her gun? Her precious classic model Colt Python no less?

"My baby!" she exclaims, seeing her Python freeze up. Desperate, given its delicate internal workings, she lunges, trying to break the ice over Ice Mistress' head before the cold warps its internal workings.

"You... you... frigid bitch!" Kelly screeches, at a loss for words. A Colt Python wasn't just a gun. It was a work of classic art. A series of carefully crafted and calibrated parts moving in perfect harmony to send a large bore shell into fleshy, squishy bits at optimum velocity. They'd made guns since that had the kick, but none of the style. How could anyone mess with perfection? She's going to be refitting it for days.

Shoving her Python back in her pants, Kelly draws her twin Hardballers and takes potshots at Ice Mistress' retreating butt. That'll teach her. Or at least get her running a lot faster.
