#lighter asks

[Bumble scrambled to her feet, racing over to the deck's side.]

[Jekyll and his part is from @duct-bugs ]

Jekyll's head shoots up at the sound of Bumble's voice. As soon as he sees her come closer he jumps off of the lighter's tail and runs over to the human. Then, with a surprising amount of ease, picks Bumble up and bolts out of the attic with her.

"N-nope... Too dan-dangerous," he states while carefully placing her back down on the floor right outside the bedroom. He points at Bumble with a worried glint in his eye, "you st-stay here, safe."

"Ohoho, would you look at that! Now, it's been a while, hmm Cards? Not used to seeing you down here, but I'm not going to say it bothers me—quite the opposite, actually."

"I've been wondering.. do tell what all that commotion was a couple of days ago... don't go keeping little ol' me in the dark! Besides, I.. was worried. It's not often that the human looks that.. well, distraught.. I'm not all that surprised she is all tuckered out on top of you, Cards. "

[They kneel, gently scratching Jekyll's ear before tuning their attention back to Spade.]

“Lighter tried to kill me.”

{The CardDecks voice is. . .forward void of any emotion, whatever expression she had held a moment ago long gone as soon as question was asked. Though, just as quick as it left the DeckBox was back to normal a smirk on her face just like always. She chuckled was it to clear the tension in the air or is it to ease any fellow object arounds worry was hard to tell. . .either way the previous question was answered later in the DeckBoxes usual sassy tone.}

[Jekyll belongs to @duct-bugs ]

Jekyll flinches at the touch... Oh God, not tears. He whines and looks back over at the attic. He can hear everything happening through the door and knows this is a bad idea... But, when he looks back at Bumble, at those tears on her face.

The coyote sighs before leaning his head into her hands. "Fine... But, you st-stay with me," *he mumbles before taking the human's hand and hesitantly leading her back over to the attic. The whole time he makes sure to stay in front of her if anything happens. Then, as soon as he sees the lighter walk out of the attic he immediately moves himself and Bumble out of the way of the lighter.

*Lighter grabs his arm as he puts her box back down that he had in his pocket. He glares at her before walking off.. he was mumbling to himself as he walked past Bumble and Jekyll. After he leaves, Spade and the other two hear a clap coming from the corner where Sophia normally is. He had a soft smile and literally looked like they won't hurt a fly.. Jekyll notices how this creature looks like the one him and Dusty encountered the other night.*

{Spade grabbed her DeckBox as soon as she could adrenaline being the only thing keeping her up as she stared the Lighter down as he left. As soon as he was out of sight though. . .}

Thump

*he whimpers before getting up and standing.. he now had a flame hand to replace his old one.. he didn't waste time.. he exhales, and his hair flames up a lot bigger than normally. He's clearly weaker now. He's clearly in pain but trying not to show it.* -🔥

{Spade cackled towering over the clearly in pain Lighter with a manic grin. Her tail menacingly swishing behind her.}

“Now it’s time for you to leave.”

“Permanently.”

He fails.

*he tries to bite her leg as his tail raps around her other let. The wood is trying to dig into her.* -🔥

{She applies more pressure to the shoulder, expression blank. Her tail stabs right into the base of his tail, it takes a chunk out as it does.}

"Nice horns there, sweetheart" -🔥

“Nice tail, to bad its broken.”

{Spade didn’t give the lighter a chance to breathe, her tail now much sharper stabbed into his shoulder after it wrapped around his arm before Spade used it to throw him to the ground.}

“My turn.”

{Standing up once more Spade stomped down on the lighter’s shoulder so hard it surely had cracked it as she held him down in place. Low growling could be heard from the DeckBox as she applied more pressure to the shoulder leaning over her opponent.}

He doesn't notice the other.* -🔥

{Spade bite her cheek as she felt the burning sensation in her leg, quickly getting back on her feet, another figure makes a move before she even had a chance to.}

[Jekyll has been awake as soon as he heard the commotion. Quickly he tosses his cape off and jumps over the boxes around his corner to dash over to the two currently fighting. Then, with no sense of self preservation, he immediately jumps onto the lighter's tail and keeps it pinned to the ground like a bug on a board. He looks back at the man before opening his mouth and biting the appendage below him. He didn't have to, but he felt like being an ass.]

"How long until you snap, mm?"

*he purrs as he holds the burning card up to her* -🔥 ( @echo-has-to-many-de-ocs )

{The little card had been curled up with Jekyll taking a much needed nap when it had been woken up by the sounds of the new person entering the attic. In its groggy state it certainly didn’t expect the sudden burning pain, it couldn’t scream it couldn’t even speak! But the pain was excruciating. It tried to fight back failing to pry the DeckBox from you as it tumbled to the ground. But by then it had enough.}

{In the same instant it’d take for a you to slip a card in poker the lighter was against the wall with a much larger. Much more vocal character growling down at them.}

{And she was MAD}

“How about we see just how easily you’ll snap by the time I’m done with you.”
