Nemesis Island: Sunday Pre-Finale

The island was all a twitter about the upcoming finale.

Well "twitter" was probably the wrong word for it. Grumbling and grunting may be more appropriate depending on your point of view.

The island still had that sense of foreboding for anyone who crossed over to it... not it seems to stop anyone.

[OOC: Final post for Nemesis. Anything here will happen pre-finale which takes place roughly at the same time as the tournament. Please be careful not to joss yourselves.]

Like the preserve at Fandom but the woods are dark. The trees are twisted, gnarled and barely any light enters it.

Lee (http://stupid-toasters.livejournal.com/29964.html) met the Cylon once again.

It's not exactly a place you want to stay and ponder. The grass is dead and the playground is old and rusted. The pond is covered with some kind of green sludge and it looks like something large lurks below.

After a lovely day yesterday, Umbridge was back out, taking a nice stroll in the park. She did love carnage.

[Botherable, yes.]

Anakin had checked himself out of the clinic, though he still wasn't entirely healed.

And naturally, the first place he went was the park where Jaina had been attacked.

He wandered around carefully, then caught sight of all of that pink. His stomach dropped. "Did that idiot librarian let you out?!"

"And a good day to you as well, Mr. Skywalker," Umbridge said pleasantly. "You don't seem at all happy to see me."

"Go figure," Anakin said dryly, hand flicking towards his lightsaber hilt.

"My, my, we're aggressive this morning," she said, giggling. "Did someone have a bad night?"

"It was a very restful night," Anakin insisted. Force but he hated her giggle. "I spent part of the afternoon beating the hell out of someone I'm guessing was a friend of yours--Darth Vader?"

"Oh, yes," Umbridge said, eyes lighting up. "He's quiet but effective. Always good when we have to...dispose of things."

"He's going to need a new hand," Anakin said with a humorless smile. "And probably leg. And respirator unit."

"Oh dear, that's not good at all," Umbridge said, seeming unconcerned about that. "We'll have to do something about that. He's very resilient. And this will just make him all the more angrier. Always good to have."

Anakin rolled his eyes. "Yes, you should really encourage a Sith Lord to embrace his anger. Ooh. Maybe he'll blow up your entire island!"

That thought cheered him up considerably. "You're not getting ours."

"I think you are wrong," Umbridge said smoothly. "Like always. And when we do get your island, you'll be one of the first to go."

"Sure I will," Anakin scoffed, stepping closer. "I can't remember a time when you were right about anything."

She giggled again. "Such a big boy, aren't we? Talking back to your elders. Naughty, naughty."

"I've never been one to let age stand in the way of telling people what I think."

As the Jedi could certainly attest to...

"Were you here last night, tossing parts of the park at a brunette?"

"I was not," she said, shaking her head. "But, my, that sounds delightful. I almost wish I had been. I shall have to compliment the one that was."

Anakin's eyes narrowed. "I have some compliments of my own I'd like to pass on."

"Do you?" Umbridge appraised him coolly. "Go on, if you'd like."

Anakin reached out to slap her across the cheek.

That was unexpected.

And unfortunate.

After Umbridge had recovered, she started laughing even as she slipped her wand out of her shawl.

Sectumsempra!" (http://www.hplex.info/magic/spells/spells_s.html#sectumsempra) she shouted, sending a beam of light towards Anakin's stomach.

And he'd spent all day fixing that, dammit.

Anakin's jaw clenched in pain as Umbridge's spell cut a new swath across his stomach.

"I said it was for someone else," he gritted out.

"I don't care," Umbridge said tightly. "Do you want another?"

"Oh, definitely," Anakin said sarcastically.

Sarcasm was probably wasted on her.

"Very well! Sectumsempra!" And, with that, the wand lit up again, a spark of light shooting towards Anakin's right leg.

"Son of a bitch!" Anakin swore, hopping in a very dignified little circle.

He reached into the Force to toss Umbridge away.

Umbridge went flying backwards, hand holding tightly to her wand. She hit the ground hard, temporarily losing her focus before shouting another incantation (http://www.hplex.info/magic/spells/spells_b.html#binding_fastening_magic) that would, hopefully, bind Anakin's hands together.

Anakin's hands were wrapped with chains in front of him. "Cute," he said, "but I don't need my hands."

With another giggle, Umbridge muttered another incantation (http://www.hplex.info/magic/spells/spells_p.html#petrificus_totalus). "Of course not. But this is quite fun for me."

Anakin flopped onto the ground.

He couldn't speak, but his eyes promised pain.

One (http://just-add-starch.livejournal.com/38129.html) last meeting between Fraser and Victoria.

Despite the scary exterior, the meat pies are quite good.

Booze-a-plenty and... Well, you know. Karaoke, however, is sadly missing.

Just your average wax museum. Where the sculptures look remarkably lifelike!

Okay so it's not exactly a clinic, but it's as close as you get here

Where chipmunks rule.

Except Howard

Poor Howard.

Much like Fandom there are many secluded areas, but the water near the shore looks dark and dreary.

Yep. Last day to get your nemesis on.

As long as it happens BEFORE THE FINALE!

Did I mention that?
