>#TEAMRING: Rock the heist. (pt 4) Now, let’s check back in on that fight near the vault, and - oh, they’re already inside. The Demoness is helping the Rogue and Thief trash the place. She... apparently didn’t need that much convincing? Hm. The vault is spacious. Various treasures line - well, no, *lined* its walls, now that the Demoness has gotten to it. In the corner are what look like two ablution traps with glass covers. The Ring - the real one, sorry Jinx - sits in a nondescript drawer within the Vault. The Thief can almost sense it. It’s identical to the one on her finger, as well as the Muse’s. She and the Rogue stare at it, this single artefact that has caused both of them to experience so much grief, heartbreak, triumph, love. The Thief knows what she must do. The Ring pulses with Life, after all. The Rogue, meanwhile, eyes the sopor tanks. The Condesce and )(er Maid lie motionless, asleep. Peaceful. The Rogue gathers her strength. It’s been decades since she’s had to kill, but leaving )(er alive isn’t even on her mind. Her hand phases through the glass, through the Condesce’s chest, and grabs her expanding and contracting bladder based aquatic vascular system. She squeezes. The Condesce’s eyes shoot open. They flash with confusion, then recognition, then rage... and then nothing. A monitor flatlines. Both tanks open. An alarm blares throughout the manor. The Demoness disappears. The Maid awakens. ==>
