Melody flipped her wrist again, idly smacking the track piece in two, "YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD STOP ME, WHO HAS SEEN MAN CRAWL DOWN FROM THE TREES, WHO HAS SEEN EMPIRES RISE AND FALL, WHO SHALL LIVE LONG AFTER YOU HAVE ALL CRUMBLED INTO DUST, NOTHING BUT A MEMORY AND FOREVER AFTER?" Her voice bellowed in double-tones, as if a demon growled at Shiki. Shrink! Given your current powerless state, a barbwire tentacle impales you, lifting you off your feet, as gore spewed from your lips. You gave it a good shot, sweetheart. But not good enough to fight off THAT. However, it appears the demon-child is distracted...
... If she's willing, a certain someone with the alphabet beginning in 'E' could try and take the key.
Ellie gave the woman a quick and desperate look when she was put on the tracks behind her. She was struggling to keep her balance on the thin platform, almost impossible. It surprised her though, that this woman was risking so much just for her sake, while they never even met. But she also knew she wouldn't be of much use sitting in her arms like that, she'd just hold her back.Will you try and take the key Ellie? Y/N?
But looking back a few seconds later, she saw the woman impaled and suspended in the air. Ellie had to help, somehow. After taking a single step toward Melody, she already fell, but continued on her hands and knees to keep momentum. It might have look pretty pathetic and clumsy, but she built up her speed until she was finally close enough to jump at Melody. Ellie threw herself on her, one arm around her neck and both legs around her waist. She used her free hand to grab the key and break it free from the woman's neck with a strong pull, but...
What she didn't realize quickly enough, is that they were now both falling. Ellie's complete lack of balance caused her jump to be in a slightly wrong direction, dragging Melody down from the rails.
// such a bad idea but hey it's all she can do :(
