[honestly my favorite thing about this week's effect is that now everyone can feel firsthand how fuckin weird it is to have the emotions of a curse. Instead of being shocked or angry or disoriented about Grell coming out of literally nowhere with A WHOLEASS CHAINSAW, there's just a sort of mild, off-centered surprise and an upswing of curiosity as it comes whooshing through the air to kill him a second time.
HE HAS NO WEAPONS but (un)fortunately he's an extremely apt and dexterous fighter, which means he's taking several wide hops back, just barely missing the brush of the chainsaw's teeth by a hair.]
Oop—! That's a funny way to say hello!

[There was no imperative to do "quick and painless" this time, which gave them a lot more options! Including "gang up on" which is what's happening now, Fukuda coming up from the other end of the alley to try and grab Mahito so he can't scuttle off.
Now, Fukuda is not strong. And he's only got one hand. Mahito can surely shake him off pretty easily. But this can at least be a momentary distraction? He's hopeful. And a little confused by Mahito's emotions? Also he loves Grell a lot. That's what he's primarily feeling right now.]

[Grell's emotions are stronger, more intense than before, bright and sparkling. Excitement, bloodlust, just regular lust... It's a contrast to the usual hazy muted feeling coming off of her this week.]
You're right! Where are my manners?! [She jabs at Mahito, stepping in. Fukuda's doing his best, and for that Grell's going to avoid attacking him as she goes after the curse.]
Why don't we dance? [She's not entirely used to fighting, but she is trained and extremely interested in splattering Mahito across the alleyway.]

[WELL, the picture comes together pretty clearly here, and boy do i aki wish i could say that Mahito was ruffled or perturbed or upset by literally ANYTHING HAPPENING. There's a tiny little increase in his off-center surprise when he sees Fukuda, and there's just another gentle sweep of amusement when Vlad appears, lookin' like a Bond villain.
BUT. TERRIBLY. JUST TERRIBLY FOR EVERYONE!! It's Grell that captures his interest, and it's the sharp spike of interest you'd expect from a creature with a 3 second attention span. He's like a magpie, caring about the shiniest thing in front of him.
With a bright, lilting laugh:]
Wow! No one's ever asked me to dance before. Treat me nicely, okay?
[He says this and yet the first thing he does is back up further into poor wrangling Fukuda who's doing his very best - so he can buff diglett bust his way out of his one-handed grip, spinning around his side with a surprising amount of elegance and just fuckin grabbing him by the waist so he can attempt to hurl him Grell's way like a twink offshoot javelin.]

[Fukuda is only slightly surprised when Mahito shrugs him off, but he is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE SURPRISED when Mahito grabs him and throws his body like football. Jail for Mahito.
Anyway he has no control over this situation and is just hoping he doesn't accidentally get chainsawed by Grell? Help.]

[POOR FUKUDA JUST GETTING FRISBEED AND THEN FORGOTTEN.
Anyway, now he is grinning and baring his sharp cuspids, and a new fighter: Battle Lust enters the emotional arena. The mild surprise is long gone, now quickly replaced by enjoyment.]
Wah, you're so sweet—!
[HE SAYS, AND THEN PROMPTLY PIVOTS FROM HIS BACKWARDS RETREAT TO LAUNCH HIMSELF TOWARD HER INSTEAD. Mahito Fleason: The type of horrific individual who would rush someone with a wholeass chainsaw despite being barehanded.
He is absolutely and immediately going in for a hard-swinging middle-aiming punch, left arm preemptively raised like he's just prepped to take a hit with a CHAINSAW. PLEASE BE NORMAL FOR FIVE SECONDS.]

[YEAH HE'S GONNA LAND ON THE GROUND HARD AND HE'S NOT HAVING A GREAT TIME. Especially since Grell and Mahito seem to be having a perfectly fun and sexy time without him?
But he needs a minute to get back on his feet and catch his breath so I guess they are just going to continue it for now.]

[If he wants to get his arm shredded by a chainsaw, she'll let him get his arm shredded by a chainsaw. Grell is thrilled by this move, she loves it!]
Come on! Show me everything! [She'll even take a punch to the rock hard abs if it means she has a chance to just wreck the everloving shit out of Mahito's arm.]

[FUKUDA IS GETTING THE WORSE END OF THIS DEAL SO FAR?! Holy shit.
Anyway wow he's impressed by those rock hard abs. Also notable; even as the teeth of the chainsaw absolutely tear into his flesh and splatter blood everywhere, he doesn't?? Seem perturbed??? In the least?? Look he may have been nerfed to a human-ish body, but curses simply do not feel pain. Get on their level, humans!!
There's a loud peal of laughter, unrestrained and also untethered as hell, and the intensity of his enjoyment increases, along with other various bad feelings! Like more battlelust! And hyperfocused killing intent! And thrill!! Wow he is having way too much of a good time.]
Laaadies first—!!
[He's using his close proximity to just fullass try to bodily tackle her over, even if this chainsaw renders this wholeass arm useless in the process. It's fine, he's still got another arm and he's using it to aim another swing toward her upper body instead, testing to see if there's the same amount of strength there as there is in her rock hard abs.]

[On the one hand he doesn't like feeling left out like he does right now, and he's jealous of all the Grell attention Mahito is getting. On the other hand, he does not have a murder boner. On the third hand, he thinks Grell is very cool and sexy right now. On the 20th hand, he's a bit annoyed at Vlad.
So he gets to his feet and dust himself off. He can already feel bruises forming. And he's pulling out a drill? And turning it on? Why do these two have to murder with power tools.]
I can't just watch. Grell would be disappointed.
[Also he does sort of want to hurt Mahito now because his envy.
And if Grell gets knocked away by that punch, he's jumping into the fray in her stead. He is determined to drill this curse.]

[There's a definite spike of thrilled arousal from Grell as Mahito's blood splatters across her blade, her face as she grins. She lets him rush at her, dances backwards and takes that blow as a stinging glance across the muscles of her torso.]
Oh, so you do have manners!
[Get in here, Fukuda, they're having fun.]

[Get in here, Fukuda, they're having fun.]
[TRUST ME WHEN I SAY I ALSO WISH MAHITO WOULD SUFFER!! I WISH HE HAD SUFFERED EVEN ONCE THIS WHOLE GAME!!
Tragically, Mahito is truly just here to have a good time in literally almost any situation. He makes a little noise of delight when Fukuda joins in, but god, he is absolutely going to just throw his free hand out to catch the drill bit through the center of his palm - so he can grab it at the tool base and try yanking it out of his hand?!]
Heeey, no fair, no fair! How come you guys get fun toys and I don't?
[Distinctly, there's no actual irritation in his mood... There's something playfully teasing?? He's a curse. GOD, STRIKE HIM DOWN.]

[(ALMOST) EVERYTHING IS FUN FOR MAHITO. MAHITO EVEN HAD A GREAT TIME DYING THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS TERRIBLE.
He's also unfortunately just as dexterous as he is strong, especially when he's not wearing clown shoes and trying to run around in a room full of cacti... He catches himself quickly after Fukuda trips him up, his stumble almost seamlessly merging into a dodge that seems almost dance-like. That fuckin chainsaw sure does still get him right across the torso, though. THERE GOES HIS SHIRT, TORN OPEN AND BLOODY, AND NOW HIS FLEA ABS ARE ON DISPLAY. His....fl...abs...........]
God doesn't listen even when we're not stuck wherever we are! [SAID SO CHEERFULLY. Tragically he is largely ignoring both Vlad and Fukuda because he has a tiny attention span. He spins in a little circle, before pivoting sharply and rushing in toward Grell, this time with a side-sweeping kick.]

Why are we bringing god into this?
[Exasperated?? And lost. He doesnโt have the physical bulk to force his way into being involved and Mahito only seems interested in going after Grell. He doesnโt like this one bit!! He is just standing here, hapless.]
How am I supposed to impress Grell like this....
