Canon is RWBY

[stealing_ur_dust]

Remember I was here, eh? Nope! I will not tell you if this is really the end for me. Remember my dear? That part where I'm not a nice guy? Though I got to give you props for having more faith in me than most people do. So the kiddies got a little dose of reality finally. I thought they would at the end. Don't give me that look, girly, it's not my fault the world is the way it is. It's the last thing I tried to beat into Red before I got rudely interrupted by a bird. That was so satisfying. No, not getting eaten. Beating the crap out of the brat. Don't get cute, Mundane.

Though I got to agree with one thing. This world does seem to have it in for gingers. That kid with the hammer better hope she's not next.

And if I am still around somewhere I'm going to find Neo and we aren't even going to tell Cinder that we survived. I'm not some wide-eyed kid that she rescued. I'm aware that she doesn't give a shit about her pawns.

Pft, I'm gonna live forever bird food!

[stealing_ur_dust]

Hmm..? All I heard was 'Torchwick! You look stressed. Can you please beat my ass just like you did my friend?' [Brandishing Melodic Cudgel. He is NOT a happy criminal right at the moment. And though he will never admit it to anyone, he's more than just a little concerned about Neo.]

[boop_pancakes]

HA! That wasn't anything close to what I said. Have you got birdseed in your ears?

[ She whips out her hammer more then happy to play]

Maybe I can clean em out for you!

[stealing_ur_dust]

A bird's not going to be here to bail you out of a nasty situation, kiddo. But by all means, try. Come just a little closer.

[He's just going to advance slowly for now and see if he can't goad you into a first move.]

I wonder, will you have better luck? Oh wait, that only works for Red. But if you like, I can make team what's-it-called an even number again.

[boop_pancakes]

I don't need luck!

[A few spins and she sets off an explosion to launch herself up into the air.]

I'M AMAZING!

[stealing_ur_dust]

You reckless little fool.

[And he's releasing that switch on his weapon that allows the handle to become a grappling hook - thanks for giving him a clear target. There's a slightly manic glint in those green eyes. Oh, how he hopes it connects and hooks her. It's not the same as getting to wail on Red, but he'll take it.]

I said, come closer, not jump. *Tsk* Kids these days just don't listen. Maybe they aren't getting beaten enough.

[boop_pancakes]

[ Sadly the hook wraps around her leg yanking her back down with a yelp. She brings the hammer with her though triggering an explosion when it and she hit the ground at his feet.]

That's because old farts like you keep losing!

[truestheart]

[ Just anger. All anger. He may not be in this world but he's definitely not liking how things happened...or how this guy is talking about it. ]

At least your one less thing that they have to worry about.

[ Even if Henry is against the murder and death of people, this guy is just grating...and heartless. Reminds him of a certain villain he once knew. ]

[stealing_ur_dust]

[Oh lookit. Another little sanctimonious brat that's filled with righteous anger! Scary!]

Aw, what's wrong,kiddo? Did you just find out you were adopted? [Yeah, he went there. *snake-like smirk appearing now*] Or...did the Saturday morning cartoons get just a little too dark for the poor little boy?

[truestheart]

How'd-?

[ No, no it's some kind of little game this guy's playing. Maybe. Probably not. Never know what muns will share with people like them. ]

Make jokes of it all you want. They didn't deserve that. None of them did. What all of you did! It was wrong.

[ Yeah, he knows this may not work but it's better than trying to punch that guy in the nose. ]

[stealing_ur_dust]

Torchwick would barf if he ever saw OUAT. Or ar least pretend to hate it. I'm also the Pyrrha, btw.

What point or you trying to make? You say that like it matters. Lots of things happen to people that they don't deserve every day. All I did was try to assure that I and Neo would make it out alive. You don't face down and incoming train, you hop on and go with it. Otherwise, you'll get run over.

[His voice loses some of its light tone. Could that be bitterness creeping into his delivery?]That's reality. That's how it actually works outside of a fairytale.

oh wow woops i didnt even draw that distinction! Sorry if im a bother!

[truestheart]

That's what cowards do. Just doing it because you're selfish and not caring who else gets hurt.

[ Henry does catch it, that loss of bravado but he still glares. ]

No, no it's not. I know how things work and good always defeats evil. Maybe not right away but it does. You guys just don't play fair.

Not at all <3 Just thought it was funny.

[stealing_ur_dust]

[Oh, Henry. He should pinch your cheeks. Hard. Might wake you up.]

So? What's wrong with wanting to live? Did you happen to notice the so-called good guys lost? That's what happens to heroes. They don't have much of a life expectancy on them.

[He may have to cane this one too. He's just like that little thorn, Red. Ugh, it pisses him off. It's almost pitiable. Speaking of Red, he never did get to finish. It would feel good to hit this moralizing little sap . And a bird wouldn't interrupt this time.]

Why is it that kids get so uppity when adults try to tell them the truth?

[truestheart]

[ Try and he might bite you. He's not one to just lie down and do nothing. ]

They're still standing, aren't they? They still lived unlike you. [ Yeah, he's being blunt but he got it from a certain evil queen mom of his. ]

They're going to make it through this and all those selfish things you did, caring about yourself? It's going to go up in smoke. They're going to get their happy ending.

[stealing_ur_dust]

[Ohh...he'll definitely knock some sense into this one. It's been that kind of week. Partner blown off a ship during what was supposed to be their grandest escape yet, check. Probably dead,check. He's even more likely to be dead, check. Oh, and Red got away. Again. Check. He does not have the patience for this.]

Pretty bold words from some little snot nosed brat - hey, who I've just noticed is not even armed! I'd worry more over how you'll remain standing.[Cue sadistic grin.] Tell me, oh enlightened story teller. How do you think your ending is going to go? [And he's taking a swing at your chest with Melodic Cudgel that's meant to knock you off your high horse. Run Henry, run.]

[truestheart]

[ Oh...oh right.

Nope weapons here.

FFFF-

and Henry lets out a pained "OUF" noise as he's hit in the chest and knocked over.

But he's not staying down. He's getting back up just as quickly stepping quickly back from Clockwork orange here. It hurts and it stings but Henry's smart and he's going to make sure he can get away without getting shot. ]
