Where: The Castle/Forest
What: Escape from the Castle
Warnings: Possible death, violence and cursing, so PG-13. Remember, if you die, you will be automatically sent home and to sleep until the May 2 day change.

Upon realizing that everyone was saving themselves, The World finally broke free and woke everyone up immediately. Her voice echos across the castle, the dungeon opening up to the forest, which she hoped they would take quickly.

“Hurry, please get back to your homes, I can only hold some of the minions but so much.” She says, sounding strained. The Empress screams out after her, her voice booming.

“Yes, please get back to your homes, if I don’t kill you first!”

With that, you have the choice to fight again, but either way, you’re going to be expelled to the forest and chased by minions and monsters until you get safely to your home.

ooc: Remember, if you die you will be sent home to sleep until May 2nd

[ If he kept losing blood like this, he'd definitely die. No, rather.. like this, he would die no matter what. She could see it in front of her, yet some stubborn part of her wanted to cling to the thought that he'd leave somehow. But Ange herself knew it was impossible too, the only thing she didn't know was how to let go like this. Half of her was still trying to hold back tears too, but that was useless as well, especially since she already realised this would be the end for him, for the man she had finally opened her heart to. ]

You're such an idiot.. [ Even though it was more like her usual deadpan insults, it didn't sound anything like it. Ange raised herself from the floor too, a little, just enough to be able to still look at him. ] W-.. why are you laughing at a moment like this..?!

[ She wanted to say more, she at least wanted him to still hear it, but.. it was so difficult to force it out, she absolutely hated seeming this fragile, especially since usually he just would have made fun of her for it. But even so.. ]

... How do you even think I'm supposed to go on without you..?

[ A few months ago she would have laughed at herself for thinking that way about this guy of all people. Things really do change. ]

[Laughing is all he really can do, making the best out of a useless situation is what he does best. He's looking at her, but... no, it's too much. Amakusa moves back a little more, resting against a tree trunk and he barely has his eyes open now. There was so much blood- and he knew that she just had to get out of here.]

Listen lady... stop worrying about me a...and go... You ...don't need me- you won't... m-miss me. Just go.

[He just wanted her to get out of here. It was already too late for him, she still had a chance though. She could get free, and maybe she could move on and find someone else. He knew how horrible he was, and yet he kept doing the same old shit over and over again. Looks like he really is a fickle man that tends to run away... this could be seen as yet another escape- but one that he actually didn't want. How cruel...]

[ 'You don't need me'.. the guy who was hired and ordered to kill her? 'You won't miss me'.. the guy who constantly tried to annoy her just to get a rise out of it? ... No way, right..? Even she couldn't convince herself of a fact like that, no matter how hard she would try.

Ange crawled over to him - she didn't hear any footsteps yet, so it should be alright, and she still didn't want to leave either way. She tried to grab his hand the best she could while they were like this, not even caring about whether the blood would spill on her even more. She just had to hold him for a moment more, feel that the warmth of his body was still there. Ange raised the hand to her own cheek, at least trying to blink back her watery eyes for now so she would at least sound a little more coherent, because this was something he had to hear. No matter how much he might laugh at her for it, it's just-- ]

I.. need you. You were right, Amakusa.. I already told you that you're right back in that castle, right? I can't protect myself, not-- not like you can.. I mean, just look at how pathetic I am right now..! [ For a moment she has to stop to inhale a sharp and almost shakey breath. ]

And.. I'd definitely miss you. More than anything, so.. Amakusa, you can't leave..!

[Dammit.... he wanted her to just get away from him and run back to the others, but he should have known better. She was going to stay here, to linger beside him until he reached his end. No, he didn't want that-... but like hell his lady would even listen to hi, even when he was about to die she still refused to do what he told her to.

Amakusa moved his hand against her cheek, and soon he placed his hand against the back of her head, pulling her closer to him so she was against his chest, careful of that arrow that was still sticking out of him.]

Y...you can protect yourself lady... you're strong. Hah... [he was saying such sappy things, he felt so lame right now, but it was true.] You're not pathetic... [with his free hand he reached into his jacket pocket, and pulled out a pistol. Yeah, he had imagined this up a while ago. He handed it to her though.]

Take it ... I..I won't need it where I'm going... heha.... a...aggh...! [he coughed yet again, and soon enough he had closed his eyes, leaning his head back against the tree... he was barely conscious now.]

[ He should know her well enough to know she would do something like this - she has always been terrible at moving on and this situation was no different from that. She still couldn't even grasp the concept of him soon just.. being gone forever, it was too much. Instead Ange just passively allowed him to pull her closer and then give her that pistol as she grabbed it with shakey hands and a small nod.

But it wasn't difficult to notice that he was almost fully gone now, huh..? Even though she wanted to remain in his embrace more than ever right now, Ange pulled away a little just to be able to peek out of the bushes for a moment. The coast seemed pretty clear right now, so.. she pulled her head back into the bushes, to move back to him and plant a final kiss on his lips. Ange wasn't even sure if he could still even feel it now. ]

.. I'll run since you told me to. [ It was the only thing her mind could hold onto right now, in the middle of not just straight deciding to give in to despair and for example shoot herself on the spot. ] I'll go and run now, so.. p-.. please watch me, okay, Amakusa..?

[ She knew he wouldn't be able to answer. She knew that he probably wouldn't even be able to hear most of it, but she was just talking to herself as she watched him - Ange wanted to make sure that there fully was no saving him left, that he was fully dead before she could even bring herself to move. ]

[Ah... good, he was barely able to make out that she said she would run. He was her bodyguard after all, so at least he was able to fulfill that much. He wouldn't have known what to do with himself if she had been the one hit with the arrow.

It was too much to even open his eyes- and yet he still felt the sensation of her warm lips against his own. Too bad really, he would have loved to be able to even kiss her back, but even that was difficult now.

He let out one last breath, and then the life had left him- he was gone.]

[ For a few moments Ange sat there motionlessly, staring at his dead body. She wouldn't even be able to bring herself to move from here, she knew that much. The only way to move somehow would be to just try and block out any emotion, any thought - much like she had many a time during the bullying at her school. Don't think of anything. Don't feel anything. Instead.. just run.

And so she did. Without even thinking more about all of this, she instead just let her feet work rather than her brain. All she had to do was keep running no matter what, get out of the forest and safely back to the house. Even if it would be without Amakusa from now on, even if once they got to go home she would be all alone entirely again.. she just had to not think about that, but run.

The girl ran through the forest, avoiding the things chasing her out of little more than sheer instinct rather than thought, and then ran through the village until she found the house she had been staying in, the house she hadn't seen for a few days. Without thinking she walked through it until she got to her room, dropping the pistol on the ground with a hollow sound. Soundlessly she let herself drop on the bed, her bed - the bed she had shared with him before again and again already.

It wasn't until then that her mind started functioning again.. and she cried for the man she lost. ]
