"Do you swear?" Lovett hissed. She wasn't stopping until she was positive that the fangirl was serious. And she'd gladly start the torture again. "I'm teachin' 'er a lesson!" she snapped at Ichabod. Orin glanced over at the new arrival, growing bored. "When was the last time you saw a dentist?" he asked Ichabod curiously.

"Yes! I swear! I swear on my complete series of Harry Potter and Twilight books! I swear on Edward! I won't stalk him anymore!" SN agreed in a pained voice, as she was still trying to escape from the restraining chair. "I'll go stalk Ichabod or something! Just STOP CUTTING!" "That's irrelevant to the situation, sir," Ichabod pointed out. "Ma'am, stop cutting her right now or I shoot." But his hand was rather shaky, and he'd probably miss even if he did shoot, even at this close of a range. Sweeney looked up from his idle polishing of his 'friend', raising an eyebrow at Ichabod. He highly doubted this wimp could manage to kill any of them presence. Evanesce had a similar look of incredulity on her face.

Lovett continued for a moment longer, then jerked the razor away, folding it and tossing it behind her, not caring if Sweeney caught it or not. "I don't want to see you stalking Mr. Todd, understand?" she snapped as she began to undo the restraints. "Does it look like I care if it's relevant or not?" Orin growled. "I asked you a question. Answer me." He was getting a little grumpy. He made a mental note to get high later.

Now that she wasn't trying so desperately to free herself, SN slumped down in the chair, exhausted from her struggling and from the blood loss. There was still blood flowing out of her arm. She blinked in an almost dazed way, trying to focus enough to make herself cover the wound to make it stop bleeding. Lovett had gotten very near the bone in her cutting, which is why she was loosing so much blood. Ichabod lowered his gun, now realizing how outnumbered he was. "I-its been a while, I suppose..." he muttered, looking wary. Sweeney caught his other 'friend', putting the one he'd been sharpening and polishing back in its holster, and starting on the one Lovett had just gotten done using.

Lovett then turned and walked away. She had been ignoring Ichabod. What? She couldn't teach someone a lesson while listening to someone telling her to stop! She walked over to Sweeney. "Mr. Todd. I, er, 'convinced' one o' your stalkers to stop." She smiled sweetly. "Oh, that's not good," Orin told Ichabod. "But I know someone who can help you, so that's okay." He smiled as innocently as he could-- but this is Orin. He can't smile innocently. The closet he got was a half-crazed grin.

Ichabod raised an eyebrow, but then went over to SN. She looked pretty out of it from loosing so much blood so quickly, and was still loosing blood. He frowned, trying to think of a way to stop the bleeding. He ripped a bit of cloth from the end of his long coat, and used it to make a tourniquet just above her elbow. It slowed the bleeding, but not by much. So, he took the cloth and tried making a bandage around the wound instead. That would have to work because he didn't know anything else to stop blood flow. "Good," Sweeney muttered detatchedly, still idly cleaning his razor. He pulled out a whet rock and started sharpening the blade.

Lovett gave an exasperated sigh. "Mr. Todd, are you even listenin' to me?" she wanted to know. When he replied like that, he usually wasn't. Like when she had been telling him about how she wanted to be with him in a house by the sea. Orin 'hmph'-ed as he shot a glare at Ichabod. "Fine. Let your teeth rot out of your mouth if you want. It's not like I care or anything," he snapped, grumpy again. He stormed over to one of the walls of the shop and sat down, glaring at nothing in particular and looking like a little kid who didn't get their way. He began digging through his pockets, obviously searching for something.

"Of course," Sweeney murmured, still sharpening his friend. Of course, he wasn't listening. His thoughts were all on the usual subjects; his wife, his daughter, and killing the judge. Evanesce wandered over to Orin and sat beside him, almost out of habit. Even though she didn't do that all that often. "What's wrong?" she asked, looking at him curiously. It wasn't her fault she basically turned into a nice-girl around him. It just happened. Ichabod frowned at SN, wondering if she was all right. Her head had lolled onto her shoulder and she was now asleep, completely exhausted.

Lovett sighed again, obviously not believing Sweeney. "Then wot did I just say?" she asked in a slightly bored-sounding voice. She was tired of him ignoring her all the time. She briefly wondered if she could insult him or Lucy randomly in the middle of a sentence and he wouldn't realize it. Probably. Orin scowled, not bothering to reply to Evanesce. He pulled his hands out of his pockets, clutching what he had been searching for. Three guesses as to what it was. He stared dully at the small tablets in his hand, then popped them into his mouth. He had decided that he wanted to get high.

"I wonder what Johanna's doing right now..." Sweeney murmured, not listening to a word Lovett was saying. He folded his friend back up and returned it to its holder. He couldn't get his mind off his family. It was impossible. Evanesce shook her head slightly. He was gonna kill himself one of those days. But she was going to keep an eye on him to make sure he didn't OD. If he did, she'd fix it of course. She wouldn't just let him die. She wasn't that mean to the person she 'like liked'.

Lovett shot Sweeney an annoyed glare. That itself told her he hadn't been listening. With an annoyed growl, she turned and marched out of the barbershop. She had to figure out a way to get Sweeney to at least listen to her. "Never listens. Why does 'e never listen?" she muttered to herself as she climbed down the stairs and entered her own shop. "The only bad thing about this is the fact that it takes a little while to kick in, but it's totally worth it. It lasts for a looong time," Orin said conversationally, referring to the drug he had just taken.

Sweeney didn't even notice she was gone. He moved over to the window and stared out, thinking in an almost blank way. His eyes were as cold and distant as ever. Ichabod seemed about to leave, but when he took a step(you knew this would have to happen), he accidently stepped on the pedal. THE pedal. As in the one that activated the chair. He realized what the chair was doing just in time to grab SN's hand before she fell. But Ichabod wasn't all that strong, and he was having to cling to her hand with both of his, which meant he dropped his gun into the trap door. Evanesce watched this with interest. SN was knocked out, she had no idea what was going on, and was a dead weight. All it would take was a little shove and Ichabod would loose his balance and fall in. Then she'd leave them for Lovett to take care of. SN's eyes cracked open a little, but she couldn't seem to orient herself enough to realize what was going on.

Once inside her shop, Lovett called out, "Toby? Want to 'elp me make some pies?" The job always seemed to go faster when there was someone there with her. She would've loved it if she could ever get Sweeney to help, but she couldn't. So Toby was the next option. Orin was watching, but he didn't bother to get up. They could fall in without his help, he decided. Besides, when the drugs finally kicked in, he didn't want to be the one falling in.

Evanesce frowned for a moment, concentrating. Then, without even having to get up, she used her powers to shove Ichabod roughly into the hole in the floor. Just because she was bored. SN landed rather hard on her side, and felt like she'd probably gotten a few bruises and maybe a fractured bone or two. Which is why she screeched rather loudly when Ichabod landed on top of her. "GET OFF!" she shrieked. Ichabod rolled off, unharmed thanks to his, er, broken fall. He scrambled up and looked for his gun, but it wasn't anywhere in sight. So he tried the door. It was locked. Damn. "Sure mum!" Toby came into view, looking bright and happy. "Jus' tell me wot to do!"

Lovett frowned a little at the scream, but assumed Sweeney had just scared those up in his shop with his razor. "We'll go cook some pies," she decided. "Then we can open shop. Sound good?" Orin stared blankly at where Ichabod had been, eyes unfocused as he stared at something only he could see. The drugs he had taken were finally beginning to kick in.
