"I know this is a horror attraction, but I didn't think the animatronic they were boasting about would look this bad..." (@technopathicflower because why not)

@technopathicflower

The animatronic looked just as decrepit as anything else. It'd been left leaning against the wall in a corner, gazing blankly into space, and probably for the better since it seemed unable to stand on its own, but hey, most robots looked like that anyway.

It looked full of trash and smelled just as bad, maybe worse, enough to make someone reconsider approaching it.

With the sudden sound of a voice, however, it raised its head like it'd come to life.

That was the exact opposite of what it was.

"You."

“You can’t know what I can do. Try to control this.” He suddenly tried to jerk his arm out to the side, tearing free an immaterial human arm. It was purple and momentarily flickered like a bad VHS tape.

Lily's eyes narrowed, and she tried to make the suit grab the arm that had just ripped away from it while Mimi got ready to pounce at whatever decided to come out of the rotting suit.

"You."

Porfirio looked physically ill as he staggered back, which was almost impressive for a mechanical rabbit mask with a corpse in it.

The place was chilly again.

"Don't ever do that! You can't control me!" he choked out, shaking from effort, revulsion, and fury, then pulled the suit forward to strike at her again.

It almost looked like he had to actually drag the mess forward, like it was tied or stuck to something else.

Lily responded by pushing back on the action, trying to force the rabbit to back himself into the corner instead, though she found it was somewhat difficult to exert control this time. She tried not to let the effort show on her face, however, glaring back at him, "I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I'm doing, Bunny Boy... Don't like it? Then don't die in a robot suit."

Before he could start on a full blown rant at her again, Lily threw the ball at him, nailing the suit right in the face.

There was a burst of light as it opened, and once it had faded, a strange little creature was left sitting on the ground between them. It looked like some weird, badly crafted plush toy.

He inched back into the corner while still holding his arms out, like he was walking against a strong wind. Getting beaned in the head threw him off, however, and he stumbled back until he hit his back against the wall.

The creature baffled him enough to stop, tilt his head, and squint at it like he was nearsighted (because he was).

"How about a Ghost playmate for the undead rabbit?" Lily asked, nonchalantly twirling the ball in her hand, "So long as you can play nice with Mimi."

The creature just stared back at Porfirio, tilting it's 'head' to the side, "Meee?"

Porfirio hesitated, almost zoning out again, then shook his head. “Play-- I’m an adult, I don’t--” He reached to brush it away. “Get rid of it. Not what’s going on here.”

A shadowy, clawed hand darted out from under the plush and smacked Porfirio's hand away. The room temperature fell several more degrees as the creature continued to stare.

Lily raised an eyebrow, "Pretty sure what's going on here is that I'm keeping you from doing whatever you please Mr. Bun Bun... But I'm technology oriented, not spiritual. Mimi, however, can cover that part for me."

He blinked, then sneered. “Wrong! Wrong. You can’t scare me with a, a dumb piece of material. I’m two things at once, not one like you. More control. You can’t do this forever. Not perfectly.”

"That's why I have help, you have to know how to cover your own weaknesses," she replied, "I have more than just Mimi, you know, so don't start getting all high and mighty. You barely know what I can do, much less what she can do."

Lily indicated the small creature which was still staring up at Porfirio intently. It hadn't moved at all since smacking his hand away, though it was radiating some rather dark energy.

"You."

Whatever he did say was definitely incoherent and unintelligible, despite trying to laugh it off.

As he raised his head, he paused and narrowed his eyes at the sphere.

It looked like it was about the size of a baseball, half green and half white with a button of some kind separating the two. It looked more like a toy than anything that was actually dangerous, but it was difficult to tell much more.

Lily looked more rattled than she had earlier, scared even, as she eyed Porfirio. She didn't know where the sudden cold sensation came from, but she didn't like it one bit, especially as the fact she was dealing with a haunted suit really sunk in.

"Oh, you're running away already?" he teased in a sing-song voice and tilted his head in a slightly uncomfortable angle. He was still struggling to get back up. "You've done worse before, no. Make this more fun."

Her eyes narrowed as she raised the ball, preparing to throw. She could see an aura of some kind around him now, faint, but steadily growing darker.

"Who's running?" she taunted back, "I just don't want to waste any more of my time on you, whoever you are. Maybe I should make you hit yourself instead, not like that would be hard for me..."

"You can't make me do anything," the suit snapped. "But you, I'm going to make sure you never forget my name again for the rest of your life! Which," he giggled, "is not going to be a very long time!"

Still, the costume was clearly jittery. He snarled at it quietly and smacked it in the side of the head, then laughed some more. "You know! You know, I can leave."

She raised an eyebrow, keeping her ball at the ready as her eyes started to glow even brighter than before, "Really now..."

Focusing as hard as possible, she decided to prove her point by forcing him to stand up and actually punch himself in the face. Petty? A bit, but she wasn't about to touch him herself so this was the next best thing.

Porfirio grinned distantly and struggled back to his knees with slow, pained movements. "Worse? Worse? I haven't felt better in years, you can't hurt me, try harder."

He leaned forward, stumbling as he did. "Haven't felt my, my mięśnie in years, do it again," he giggled.

Lily made a face, half tempted to go straight for Plan B instead, or maybe Plan C, but she'd rather not bother Erebus with this.

Huffing, she turned the settings up a few more notches, wondering if she could set it high enough that the suit would catch fire, "Come on then, Bunny Boy."

With no hesitation at all, he lunged again, this time at her head, cackling the entire time. It almost hid the sound of his joints creaking painfully as he moved.

This time she dropped to the floor and swung at Porfirio's legs as hard as possible, quickly standing back up to face him again, though if she guessed right his legs weren't very sturdy, especially against a hit like that.

Porfirio collapsed in an awkward position on his chest, which was probably an attempt to break his fall. It didn't work. He had a big clumsy suit, after all, and ended up keeled over on the floor.

Definitely in pain.

#rp #fioletowyfacet #30 years later #//pretty sure it's 2017...#//1987 plus 30 years?#//she's about to confuse him quite a bit though xD

"That hard enough for you?" she asked, considering whether or not to give him another shock while he was keeled over.

Lily didn't expect a real answer, probably just gibberish or low cursing, though as she moved to leave she felt an odd cold chill. Almost on instinct, she backed up to the door and pulled something ball shaped out of her pocket, "!?"

"You."

The animatronic mummy's eyes fell on the baton. He started, then tilted his head with no other visible change in expression before glancing back up.

Instead of answering out loud, he took one step closer.

Lily didn't move, but there was a noticable high pitched whine as a charge started to build in the baton and she was holding it at the ready if he made a real move towards her.

The lights had calmed again, but they appeared to be much dimmer than normal now, just barely illuminating the dank room.

He leaned his head back, then hunched back over to take a second steps.

Then, he tried to rush right at her, arms outstretched.

The lunge was faster than she expected him to manage, but Lily sidestepped and jammed the charged end into his side. A straight line was one thing, but she doubted that he could turn, especially when going quickly.

Getting shocked as a living person was bad enough. As a dead person with metal rods and wires crammed into him, it was a lot worse.

Porfirio seized up and let out a wheezy shout, then collapsed to the tile, twitching and sputtering incoherently. The pain was short, however. Eventually, he jerked his head back to face her.

He expression was impassive, but she still held the baton at the ready, several clicks sounding as the settings were, presumably, cranked up a few notches.

"Care to try again?" she asked, glowering at him a bit, "It can get worse, and this is by no means the only thing I can do..."

"You."

“Oh, you don’t understand,” Porfirio laughed. “Someone did it, someone won, always tied to them. . . You can’t say who invented the wheel, but he had to be smart, look at everything he changed!”

His tone suddenly shifted as he sneered, “And who will remember you? A few friends? Family? And for how long? You can’t tell me about your pra pra pra pra grandmother. There are a lot of insignificant people. People who did nothing. I am not one of them.”

"I could tell you quite a few things about her, actually," she replied dully, "But I doubt you'd listen... You also have no earthly idea about what I've been up to, thirty years is a long time for a tinkerer to sit idle."

“Thirty years!” he forcefully repeated through a joyless smile, leaning forward, “is a very long time for a tinkerer to sit idle!

“Nothing to do! Nothing to do, except sit idle for thirty years. . . It would hurt!”

"If you remember, Bunny, I'm also a tinkerer, in addition to other things," she replied, stone faced as she pulled something out of her pocket, "I'm more than willing to give you a few jolts to jog your memory if it's as shoddy as you look... And Erebus isn't my only backup now."

He jumped, but stood his ground anyway. “No, and what? I don’t have a reason to be afraid of you, not after. . . all this,” he sneered as he gestured at himself. “N-never did, I never did, but now. . .”

She raised an eyebrow and, with a faint click, the item in her hand extended and sparked at the end, "No? I'm faintly sure a shock is still going to hurt... do you really want to test that?"
