HiT was well trained in the arts of being a damsel, and, having done it for a few years, was frankly sick of it and looking for another job on the particular evening that she bumped into a muttering young woman with long dark umber hair and a ridiculous purple hat.
"Oh, excuse me. I hadn't been paying attention." The woman shook her head, grinning widely.
"Oh, its no problem. I wasn't looking either. I'm Rabbit, by the way. Could I ask you a favor, by any chance?"
HiT regarded Rabbit with a wary eye, but eventually nodded and pushed her fine hair behind her back. Typically, women-villainesses went for the direct approach with Damsels.
Rabbit held a square of purple cloth up to HiT.
"Does this smell like chloroform to you?"
Or...maybe not.
"...Do I look that stupid to you?" HiT placed her hands on her hips, glaring at the brunette, who, for all the world stared back quite perplexed.
"Aw, crap. Ganu, just hit her over the head or something."
HiT didn't feel a bit of pain, really. Just heard the dull
thump, her vision graying and fuzzing at the edges.
"You know, we could have just grabbed her from the start..."
And then there was nothingness.
"Now what?"
"Now you wait for her to wake up."
Agh, those voices. HiT had been fervently wishing it had all been some sick, sick idea of a dream god's joke.
"Awww, but that could be hours and I don't think you can legally wed someone if they're asleep."
"I think the issue of marrying someone unconscious is the least of your worries when it comes to legality."There was a long silence in which HiT recalled this was the
exact reason she was hell bent on retiring. Bickering villains, headaches, bruises... and the hero that would be coming in was no doubt a bit of a player, and would rescue her with the intention of recieving a kiss as payment.
No sir, HiT was sick of playing the game, but she knew the game was the only way out of this.
"Ganu,how hard did you hit her? I mean, geez. Why don't you go and kill her while you're at it."
"Yessss Masssttterr. And while I'm at it, do you want me to pull the switch?" The half-orc hissed back in a scathingly sarcastic manner, and HiT sat up, if only to silent their back and forth banter.
"Oooo, she's awake! Goody!" The captive rolled her eyes, wincing as she found such a movement vibrated along her skull. Indeed, the half-orc lived up to atleast
that part of the stereotype, if not the others.
"A hero will come and save me, you know. You'll never get away with this." She spoke her words with practiced meter and less than enthusiatic delivery. Rabbit didn't seem to notive this at all, and cackled.
"Oho, I know some foolish man who considers himself a hero-"
"Meaning Mordokai the Paladin, since we have a contract with him." Ganurath leaned agains the wall, almost as uninterested as HiT, who was depending on the villainess to continue speaking, delaying for HiT's time until the supposed Paladin would bust in through the heavy oak doors and get her out of this same sticky situation.
And then HiT would get herself some damned self defense lessons.
And maybe a dog. A big dog.
"Yes, yes. Mordokai, the foolish servant of the light, will come. But by that time, it'll be much too late. You already be my wife, my Queen of the Undead. And I shall finally be king and then no man will dare to look down upon me as merely a woman I shall be of equal-"
"You're monologuing again, Mistress."
Rabbit blinked her hazel eyes, lifting a hand to rub the place on her nose where her glasses sat.
"Fine. Tie her up and lets get to the chapel. Which I'll burn when we're done, of course."
Mordokai had come running as soon as word got out that Rabbit had kidnapped another innocent girl. Of course, when he ran past the tree to find the Dryad was still in it, brushing her elegant hair with a conveniently shaped stick, he was confused.
Rabbit had kidnapped someone
aside from the dryad?
What an oddity.
So he had run quickly across the street, where the thunder clouds boomed and roiled across the sky in a very obviously spooky manner. Being as his legs were sore and his breath short, blond hair all askew across his face, he was not pleased to see the sign affixed to the door with a piece of tape.
Went to get married. Be back soon.
<3 Hugs and kisses and rotting undead,
Rabbit and her soon-to-be-Bride, HiT
PS- 'Kai, sweetheart, I hope you brought a present, because you're too late. MWAAHAHAHAHAHAH
At which point the purple ink had run dry.
Mordokai rolled his eyes and headed back down the hill at a run...which was slightly slower paced. He had a wedding to stop, and a damsel to kiss.
But perhaps he would be too slow, and get to talk in on the kiss between the two women...
Mordokai slowed ever so slight more.
