He doesn't.

[ in fact he's killed her many a time for her "insolence." ]

As long as we got a deal, I'll leave you alone.

Pleasure doing business with you, Macmillan.

[ when yui steps foot into the fog surrounding the outskirts of what is deemed safe for her and her fellow survivors, she never knows where it's going to take her. she always hopes it's one of two realms, but it never, ever is. so she's poking her nose in places they shouldn't be, as always, and it always ends with her getting brutally murdered because she's never learned to keep her mouth shut.

she wakes up by the fire, does it all again like it's her fucking day job, until there's that occasional pull to be food for the spider lady upstairs. rinse and repeat.

yui walks and walks until she finally sees the coal tower beyond the mist. she's probably died by trapper's cleaver lodged in her throat and then her head in one too many trials since their Deal, so dropping a flashbang or a pallet in his face was fair game.

she doesn't know if he's home, and she doesn't care. she keeps an eye out for the traps strewn across his property, and still it's not enough. her left foot gets caught in one — all because she spotted her new precious pet project aka the ✨VINTAGE RED CORVETTE✨ — and a strangled cry is ripped from her throat. ]


Fucking fuck—!

[ she's furious, falling to one knee to try and pry the fucking thing open, but its teeth are biting into her ankle. it takes every ounce of self-restraint she has in her to not dig into her toolbox and take it apart, even through the agonizing pain. she's done more with worse injuries.

but he's lucky that she doesn't. however, she does kick that stupid beartrap away with her good foot once she's managed to free her bloodied one. she plops her ass down in the grass and rummages through her rusty toolbox for bandages, or a shirt, or something —

well, if he didn't know she was here before... he's gotta know now, right? ]

[ there is a hulking outline on the other side of the old corvette that she can see from the corner of her eye. just because she made a deal with the guy doesn't mean he'll honour it. he could go back on their agreement at any point because he is the one with the upper hand, after all.

but he doesn't appear to move any closer to strike her down in one swift blow (yet) and maintains his distance, which she can appreciate to some degree. what she doesn't appreciate is his joke so she gives him a mirthless laugh while ripping the bottom hem of her own shirt and wraps it around her ankle, tying it tight and ignoring the pain. ]


Yeah, no, that wasn't part of my all-inclusive package. [ she so eloquently flips him off with an equally mocking smile. ] Fuck you, asshole.

[ yui braces herself against the nearest rock and gets up so he's not looking down on her any longer, making her way over to one of the cars with her toolbox in hand. she keeps her eyes on him the whole time. ]

Did I disturb your sleep? God, I hope so.

[ he's holding what looks to be mortar, so she guesses not but one can hope. ]

[ sleep is optional for them, too, but she's noticed she performs much better against most killers if got a few hours in.

she watches him like a hawk as he nears the tower that looks like it's going to collapse on in itself. she tries not to pay too much attention to his machete that's currently propped against the wall, and not in his hand. ]


Guess my luck's already running out. That's unfortunate.

[ just because her default state in a trial is injured doesn't mean she should be used to the pain, okay! though, she definitely walks like everything is a-okay, like she's good as new.

she realizes she's got her work cut out of her (never mind that he told her it wouldn't work anyway, she doesn't listen); the corvettes are in terrible fucking shape, the tires are flat and all crooked, and the hood is rusted to shit. it's a wonder she can even pop it open at all. oh, it's bad. ]


The tower's one of your 'other shit to fix', I take it? She looks old. Older than these babies. [ she gestures at the red cruisers. ]

No, it doesn't. Time doesn't make sense here either.

[ she's nose deep in the car's guts, gloves on now as she pokes and prods to see what can be taken out, all while processing valuable, interesting information she's getting from mr. trapper for free.

it's amazing what someone can learn when they're not being threatened with imminent death as soon as they cross paths with a killer. she's gotta make more deals with these assholes in the near future.

she peeks over the open hood... she's paranoid. still doesn't trust him despite the conditional pact of civility they've got going on. ]


When was your time? [ and before he can say no: ] I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

Pretty sure these are from the 70s. What about motorcycles? Have you ever seen those before?

[ yui would've been more than fine working in complete silence, and she has no doubt he'd be the same way, judging by how all he does during trials is breathe, grunt and groan. but conversation with him so far has been rather –

pleasant, much to her dismay. he could tell her to shut her trap and get off his property at any point. instead he's actually entertaining her questions and satiating her curiosity.

she wonders if the war happened before he was taken by the entity, although she doesn't want to push her luck. she continues to pry dusty, rusted parts out of the car's engine and setting it aside. ]


So I'm probably a hundred years ahead from you, give or take.

[ a pause and then... fuck it. she'll push her luck. ]

You miss home?

That's too bad. They're fun to ride.

[ she likes cars, but she loves bikes. she misses the adrenaline rush, the risk. she guesses that's why everyone thinks she has a death wish. (and they're not wrong.)

death doesn't scare her anymore than it used to before all of— this. ]


Yeah?

[ honestly, she expected as much. they can't do what they do here anywhere else. for what is considered to be hell by yui and her cohorts, it must be heaven for these guys. of course this is home to them. ]

You like sharing your home with little miss Skull Merchant?

Even she fucks with you? I wouldn't care, usually, but my condolences.

[ for a second, it almost sounded like he was talking about her — she almost laughs.

yui had inquired about imai's presence on his land on a whim, like the words came out of her mouth faster than her brain could process what she wanted to ask.

but when he actually, genuinely answers her, she jams her wrench between motors and side-steps to get a better view of... him. how fascinating, that she was able to draw this reaction out of him and that it wasn't directed towards her? ]


Sounds like you tried to kill her once [ or many times??? tf does she know ] before, if you're saying it like that.

[personal profile] hachimakis 2025-06-13 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hot, [ said in the most deadpan way possible. she dives back under the hood to detach the motors; she already knows this thing isn't going anywhere, she knew this before leaving the fire but at least she can clean it up.

she wonders if the entity will just return it to its original, corroded state, turning any progress to moot. this should annoy her, but tinkering with something other than generators makes her giddy. gives her a sense of normalcy despite the absolutely fucking weird arrangement she's made with him. ]


I'd like to think I would be if the Entity allowed us to slam more than just a pallet on your faces.

[ though she can't speak for the rest of her fellow survivors. ]

So, lucky you.

[ maybe one day the entity will pull the biggest april fools' prank and do a little switcheroo. maybe it'll be four armed survivors chasing down one unarmed, vulnerable killer.

highly unlikely, though. ]


She doesn't have anything I want, except for booze. Have you seen her wine collection? Her bed?

[ she wolf-whistles and shoots him a shit-eating grin. she doesn't have to tell him that imai is really good at keeping her mouth shut, doesn't take yui's bait even when she's insulting her. just shuts her right up with a kill so swift that it's just so... boring. ]

But no. She's not nearly as fun to piss off as you.

[ it's amazing he's asking her at all. actually, it's even more of a wonder that he's bothered to entertain her her questions and engage in a civil conversation with her to begin with. is this ✨character development✨ or has the trapper gone soft?

she'd like to test her theory on the latter and feigns contemplation for all of ten, twenty seconds before cocking her head to the side: ]


Why does it matter I want?

[ yui gives him a once-over and crosses her arms, her wrench tucked into the crook of her elbow. haha she's not on guard or anything!!!! ]

You can call it off whenever you want and I'll just go back to taking parts from your traps. [ even if she steps in them first... ]
hachimakis: (pic#14582152)

[personal profile] hachimakis 2025-06-18 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ the wrench comes up, except it doesn't fly out of her hand like he might expect it to(?). she just points it in his direction. ]

You started it. I was just answering your question.

[ her tone tiptoes the line between accusatory and teasing, especially now that she's no longer waving her potential weapon around, although she doesn't let go of it either. ]

Anyway, I think you know just as well as I do that no matter how good I fix her up, she's not going to run without any fuel, unless you have some of that just lying around.

[ but god, does it feel good to touch and tinker with something that isn't a generator, or even his stupid traps for that matter. ]

Like I said, I just wanted something to keep my hands busy with. [ she points at the one that she did step in earlier with a nod. ] But if you don't want me on your property, Macmillan, and if you wanna keep it that way... Do you have any booze?
