5th Metal / open video
[ The video turns on Zane, who is somewhat disheveled, but, to the discerning eye, different than usual. Something too intent and high-strung has been muted, and there is a dangerous hint in his eyes. ]
Cassel is... hurt.
Someone needs to collect him.
Level 4, Cabin 12.
[ And video off. ]
[ ACTION SPAM (edited to add) ]
[ And now Zane is in zero.
He sits alone, arms crossed over his chest, his face hard and blank.
Come and visit! ]

[SPAM]
No. Even the insane have reasoning. Justifications.
[SPAM]
[ He's holding back on attacking, yet, because Rorschach hasn't actually done anything to hurt him. He knows that restraint is in his best interests.
He's keeping the ink in his palm, though. ]
[SPAM]
[If there's a hand within reach he'll go for it, jerk it up and within range of easy manipulation then latch on and press. If not, he'll tug on the collar, pull him around to get to a better vantage point, press against his ribcage, inhibit his breathing. Something to get him to be a little more loose-lipped.]
[SPAM]
As soon as it's touched, Zane attacks. Flings the ink at Rorschach's mask, aiming to blind him, and presses the attack with quick, graceful blows.
He wishes he had his knives. ]
[SPAM]
It's no contest.
There's a snarl under the mask as ink splashes, and then his free hand reaches up to pull it free, the face underneath all too human, expression twisted into pure hatred at needing to be deprived of his identity and the disfigurement that caused it.
The first few blows land before he can adjust, sending him staggering backwards, increasing distance, and when he finally loses his balance he lets himself fall, the better to sweep out with a leg when he lands to try to take the larger man's feet out from under him as well.]
[SPAM]
Zane glances to the door. The better course of action would be to regain control over himself, to leave and to find another to deal with Rorschach.
He doesn't want to take the better course of action.
But he does, anyway, moving to dodge past Rorschach and head towards the door. ]
[SPAM]
[SPAM] feel free to take him down now
He'll continue to fight until Zane has him pinned. And he'll start to feel the thrill of a good fight, too - a savage joy, in it.
Might be short-lived, though, because Rorschach is the superior fighter. Without Zane's metals, at least. ]
[SPAM]
Once he's got a firm grip he'll shove at his captive, doing the equivalent of a sheepdog worrying at the feet of its herd all the way to Zero, and he's never been on this side of the bars before but he knows enough from past experience. He opens the cell and pushes him inside, locking the door behind him.]
Only keeping you in here a few days. Not full week. Use the time to decide why you hurt him. See it doesn't happen again.
[SPAM]
Once in the cell, he slams the heel of his hand against the bars and snarls, an animalistic sound that he's surprised to hear come out of his own throat.
The voice would be telling him to kill, right now. Kill, kill, kill. ]
