Shinku was about to position herself in a sitting position on the box. She had her hands placed to carefully push herself up when she heard a third voice shout. She looked irritated and turned her head towards the new commotion when Eriol informed Yui he needed to go die. She abandoned the thought of relaxing and turned just as Palette stepped into view. That quite simply had to be an animated plush, but she doubted it was from the same series Eriol and "Yui" appeared to be.
"If you two insist on fighting in front of a lady, you should allow her to leave your presence first," Shinku stated.

Palette blinked at Shinku, shrugged, decided she'd seen much weirder things before, and then grabbed Yui by his collar and pulled him out of the way, causing him to tumble back. She glared at Yui before looking back toward Eriol.
"Eriol, I've been looking everywhere for you," Palette said. She looked around. "...I'm not even going to ask why there's a bunch of dolls everywhere. Or why you have a little girl doll dressed up in Lolita fashion with you."
She was pretty much ignoring Shinku. Eriol was ignoring Palette and walking past her, deciding to leave Shinku's presence on his own and go after Yui, who had started heading toward Eriol again. Eriol was prepared and lept at Yui, knocking him down onto the bamboo. He had his hands locked around Yui's throat and was giving a bit of a maniacal grin. Palette wheeled around.
"Eriol! Dammit, calm down!" She grabbed his arm and attempted to pull it back from Yui's neck.
"He doesn't need to breathe, but it wouldn't matter if he doesn't have a neck," Eriol said.
All in all, it was getting a bit chaotic.

Shinku didn't seem phased by how crazy things were getting. She had walked over to pop open her box about the time that Palette spoke to Eriol. She frowned as Palette referred to her, but still said nothing. She opened the top of the box and carefully climbed inside. Anyone looking at her would see she took care with her dress to avoid a pantyshot. Once inside she was about to close the lid when Eriol trackled Yui.
She paused with the door almost closed and thought to herself. She then climbed out of the box and took a few steps towards the two male dolls. She hopped to the side as Palette planted her foot.
"You will regret it if you kill a sibling," she stated. While still matter of fact, there seemed to be an emotional reason lacing her words.

Eriol didn't seem very phased by Shinku's words and he seemed to be trying to figure out the best way to snap Yui's neck from his body. Yui wasn't fighting back much; the way Eriol had landed on him meant his good arm was pinned.
"If I kill him now, that would mean that the Creator wouldn't have any choice but to look at me. I already killed Kerro. Himitsu said she'd bring him back but it doesn't change the fact that he's still dead and now all I have to do is kill Yui and the Creator will have to look at me," Eriol said.
Yui looked pleadingly at Shinku and Palette and mouthed the word "help." He couldn't fight back against Eriol, and at this rate, he would end up dead.

"I will make no action to stop you, but I assure you that you shall regret the action," Shinku said. Her voice was beginning to become pained, "You can not know the pain of losing a sibling until you have caused it with your own hands! There must be another way for you to meet your Father, your 'Creator'!"
Shinku took a step forward. It wasn't her place to stop them. It was clear to anyone who looked at her she was speaking from some kind of experience. She stopped after the single step and shook her head. She could not accept any Father would want this kind of behavior. Even her own... even he had informed her that there were other ways, after all.

Eriol paused a bit at Shinku's words. He looked down at Yui, but he hadn't released the doll.
"He'll ignore me if I don't, though. He always ignored me. Always," Eriol said. This conversation was starting to become a rehash of the one he had with Himitsu so long ago. "What else can I do?"
As far as Palette knew, this Creator guy was dead. Meaning Eriol was having another one of his screwed up delusions.

Shinku looked very serious. Very serious and there were traces of concern. She took another step forward, and glanced at Yui. Eriol had said he didn't need to breath, which made the construct different then her sisters and her. Well, of course it was. She and her sisters were well made, they're joints were ball joints, not screws. She looked at Eriol again.
"Has your Creator told you he would acknowledge you if you defeated your siblings? What command has he given that makes you act as such?"
All in all, she was still a little calm for the situation at hand.

"No command. He hardly speaks to me. Just takes me and uses me. Like a guinea pig. Thats what Himitsu always said, he used me as his guinea pig," Eriol said. There was a bit of nervous laughter as he said that. "He wouldn't even look at me. I finally got him to look at me when I killed all of those people. He finally looked at me, and he locked me away for two hundred years because of it."
The doll seemed fairly broken in more than one way by this point.

Shinku's eyelids widened at Eriol's words. Guinea Pig? Killed alll those people? She took a step back in what could be described as fright. She had made the mistake of thinking that perhaps she and the members of the doll series before her were somehow similar. Things had seemed similar. But locked him up? And he thought that killing had been a good way to get attention?
"I do not know what kind of man would encourage such behavior," she put out the palms of her hands once again, "But I will not allow such barbaric behavior to take place!"
This was all very new to her. The concept of other living dolls was new to her. Perhaps this Eriol would not regret his actions. He seemed blinded by his love for his 'Creator' the way Suigintou often seemed. But she knew he would regret his brother's death and didn't want to accept that any dolls would be made to hurt humans.

Eriol didn't show any signs of relenting, or even listening to Shinku. Palette was starting to panic, especially once Shinku held her palms out. She ran forward and punched Eriol in the back of the head. He didn't move much other than turning his head so he could look at her.
"Eriol, dammit, snap out of it!" Palette yelled. "Didn't you say that you didn't want anything to do with that bastard when you gave up that stupid hat of yours? Stop acting like an idiot just because Himitsu's not here!"
Eriol blinked. "...I...? When?"
Palette punched him again, and winced. He had a hard head. "Get a hold of yourself! And let go of your brother!" If she was going to have to punch him until he regained some sense, she would.

Shinku lowered her hands a bit as Palette ran forward. She didn't want to use her powers any more. Not until she found Jun. She could feel the strain she was putting on their connection at something as simple as a powered leap into the air. It was more than a bit possible the ring was cracked. She still seemed poised to react should anything happen. She remained silent and continued to observe the situation at hand.

Somehow, Palette could tell that things were starting to go in their favor again. She wasn't sure how. But she was sure enough of that.
"Listen, you stupid idiot! You said you were going to give up the Creator! You were going to cut all ties off with that stupid douchebag! That means not attacking your little brother at the first moment you see him, dammit!" She punched him once more, this time splintering a bit of wood and getting a splinter in her hand for the effort. She winced and got to work pulling it out.
Eriol finally seemed to have realized something. He let go of Yui's neck and very shakily stood up. He turned to Palette and gave a small bow.
"...I'm sorry, Miss Palette. I should've had better control of myself," Eriol said. "I'm going to go repair myself. Some of my parts got a little out of place in the fall." Even to Palette this was an obvious lie, and Eriol hardly ever lied. Was it possible that Eriol was actually feeling some form of regret over something?
Yui looked up as Eriol walked past him, and used his non-broken arm to push himself up. "I didn't think he'd attack me right off the bat like that..."
"You threatened him," Palette said. I didn't think he was still that unstable... she added in her head. She turned toward Shinku. "And who the hell are you anyways?"

Shinku only lowered her hands once Yui positioned himself upright. That and didn't chase after the one calling himself Eriol. She looked at Palette at the rude way of addressing herself. She seemed to make a point of brushing a bit of dust off her dress. The problem with velvet is things tended to cling to it. Only after a few moments of meticulous brushing did she look up again.
"I am Shinku, Fifth Doll of Rozen Maiden. There is no need for you to be so rude," she looked over to Palette again, "It is very rude to ask for an introduction without first introducing yourself. Who, and what for that matter, might you be?"

Palette crossed her arms as Shinku spoke. Another doll, huh? They certainly were all over the place here. Literally, considering this entire hut was filled with some really creepy ones.
"My name's Palette, and it doesn't really matter what kind of creature I am. I'm not one of those human things, if that's what matters to you," Palette said.
Yui gave a small bow. "My name is Yui. I'm the third and final of my Creator's dolls. Pleased to meet you."

Shinku looked annoyed. Of course Palette wasn't human, anything with sight could see that. She opened her mouth to say something when Yui spoke. She closed her mouth and turned to him for a moment. She gave a polite curtsy, one that would actually be in place in a noble's manor rather than the poor version used by most people of the modern world.
"It is pleasant to see someone with some manners," she stated. When she continued she was addressing both of them, "Do either of you have any idea where I might be? This is not where I went to sleep the night previous."
