"Depends. What are you willing to give up?" Satan found it much easier to ask that than to try to think of something to take, because most of the time, he knew very little about the person he was dealing with. He wanted a good deal, after all. "What means a lot to you?" Ivy finally tore her gaze away from the plant, after shooting it a look that read "they're yours if you want them", and glanced at the Sohmas. "Me?" she asked innocently, glancing at the boys next to Akari. Which one would she take first?

Akari took a threatening step forward, her hair seeming to stick out even more than usual. Despite their quarrels now and then, they WERE family. She wasn't going to let anything happen to them. Mainly Kyo, but that goes for Yuki too. Both boys narrowed their eyes at Ivy. The two were more alike than they would ever admit. But then, Kari felt something tug at her ankle, tripping her. After pushing herself into a somewhat sitting position, she was already being covered in restraining vines. Her eyes widened in fear, but she refused to scream out of habit. "KARI!" both male Sohmas yelled, immediately jumping forwards to try to help their family member. "Uh...my singing, my cello playing, my voice, my drawing ability...what else..." SN thought for a moment. "My ability to articulate the thoughts in my head into words on paper." AKA being a good writer. But she mainly cherished the first things, especially her voice. She didn't know what she'd do if she couldn't talk people's ears off!

Ivy smirked, and made no move to help. She could've if she had wanted to, of course-- but that was the thing. She didn't want to help. "Hmm..." Satan thought for a moment. Which of those could he take that would prove to be a bad choice for SN to suggest later on? "I'll have the voice," he finally decided as he eyed SN.

SN swallowed, taking a tiny step back instinctively. She just KNEW all the people that hated her were going to take advantage of her being unable to talk. But she really wanted to be back to her old self, or as close as she was going to get. At length she nodded. "Fine." She paused, tehn decided on one last outburst of loud fangirly-ness. She turned, stuck her head back through the wall, yelled, "I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP!" and pulled her head back in the room, arms crossed. Akari squirmed, trying to slip out as Yuki and Kyo tried to pull her free. And those two were no pushovers; they were seriously holding their own against the giant plant. Kyo turned his head to face Ivy. "Damn it, you MADE it do that you bitch!" he snarled furiously.

"Made what do that?" she asked innocently. "Oh, you mean that plant? It does that by itself. I don't need to do anything." However, she did walk over to it and lovingly stroke it. That wasn't odd for her. She liked men, women, and plants. As in like-liked. Satan's grin grew wider as he pulled his conductor's baton out of nowhere and jabbed it at SN to give her back her solidity, then yanked it back towards him to take her voice, making the baton disappear again. The sibling aliens walked back to their ship. Now that they knew there was nothing they could do to fix their translators, there was only one thing left for them to do if they wanted to communicate with any Earthlings: fetch the larger translator. They didn't use it much because it was a much more primitive version of their own, but they had no choice. The object Riff carried back from the ship resembled a megaphone with a few switches and buttons on it. He and his sister talked quietly in their native tongue.

SN wanted to make sure it worked, so she turned and put her hand on the wall, smiling briefly when it didn't go through. But then it turned into a scowl as she stalked off to find some other villain to communicate with. ...And ran straight into Evanesce. "Awe, what's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" she hissed, knowing exactly what SN had just done. SN tried to snap 'Shut up', but of course, no sound came out. She blinked. That was a really weird feeling. She was used to making alot of noise. "Awe, the wittle baby can't talk," Evanesce taunted, advancing on SN until her back was to the wall. SN flipped her off furiously, unable to otherwise convey what she was trying to say. Evanesce glared. "Well, if you can't use your tongue, how 'bout I just cut it out?" she snarled, narrowing her eyes. SN gulped silently. ((Now that you brought it up, it would be hilarious if she tried to seduce SN! XD XD XD)) Kyo and Yuki were still trying to pull Akari away from the evil plant. Kari was obviously terrified, but refused to scream. It was a habit. If she screamed at something normally, the guys would make fun of her for weeks. So she'd just started not screaming.

"Oy, what's wrong?" Orin wanted to know, wandering over to Evanesce. He caught sight of SN, and grinned. "Open up, I wanna take a look at your teeth." It had been a while since he had worked on the fangirl's teeth. Ivy smirked at the Sohmas for a moment, then got up and sidled over to SN, ignoring Evanesce and Orin. She recognized the fangirl from a few roleplays, and enjoyed tormenting her.

SN swallowed, quickly shaking her head in a 'no' and looking quite terrified at the moment. One villain, sure, she could handle it. But three? Nuh-uh. She was feeling quite cornered and extremely helpless. Since her back was currently pressed against the wall, and there were villains on all sides, she had nowhere to go. She was stuck. After a little more tugging, Yuki and Kyo pulled Akari free, and they relaxed for a brief moment until the boys were grabbed by two separate vines. "AH! Yuki! Kyo! Aaaaaaahh, what do I do?!" Akari was panicking, sounding and looking rather like a chicken that had lost its head.

"I said open." The dentist wasn't going to take "no" for an answer. His hand shot forward to grab SN's jaw tightly, hoping she'd cooperate and just open up. Ivy smirked at SN, but did nothing... yet. She'd wait until everything grew dull, then liven things up a little. (*insert random theme music here*) Riff kicked open the door, laser clutched in one hand and translating megaphone-thing in the other. He glanced around, then caught sight of SN. He scowled-- he hadn't arranged this convention so they could torment people for no reason! He had organized it so they could have a plan. Like taking over this planet. He was pretty surprised that Dr. Scott hadn't told the government about them yet-- if he had, they'd be locked up in some room for testing. He spoke into the megaphone, which blared a slightly more alien-like version of Riff's voice, but at least it was English. "Let the Earthling female go," he ordered Orin, Evanesce, and Ivy, pointing his laser at first one, then another, and then the third. He wouldn't hesitate to shoot.

SN sighed with relief, though she was currently still cornered. She could've hugged Riff, and that was saying alot. But then she noticed the three Sohmas being terrorized by her evil plant. She quickly reached for her pokeballs, sending out Bayleef, Ivysaur, and Pikachu. The electric mouse stood protectively in front of Akari, and Bayleef and Ivysaur focused on trying to pry Kyo and Yuki from Twoey's grasp. Akari was still shaking, looking confused.

Riff glanced over at Twoey, then turned and muttered something softly in his native tongue to his sister. There wasn't a direct translation for that, but the closest you would get if you tried would be "Things couldn't get any worse, not even if Prince Furter showed up." He whirled around to point the gun at the plant, hesitating a little, but then frowned. He wouldn't really shoot, not with the Sohmas there in the way-- he didn't like killing humans with Transylvanian technology, it was something that the government could figure out. Columbia was the exception to that, of course. She had simply startled him. He had never meant to kill her, or that creation. "You-- plant-- let go of the Earthlings." It was like a badly translated movie-- you saw his lips moving, and the translation came a few seconds later. Ivy and Orin, of course, were ignoring Riff. They're villains, what do you expect?

Evanesce was also ignoring Riff, as was Twoey. But Ivysaur and Bayleef succeeded in pulling Yuki and Kyo to safety, making both Sohmas sigh with relief. Pikachu was using electric shocks to keep all the vines at bay. SN tried to pull away, eyes big. She felt extremely helpless, and she hated feeling helpless. Evanesce smirked. "Let her go for a second, I got to her first," she growled, grabbing SN's facing and making her face towards the villainess. She pulled out a knife-sized version of her sword, waving it threateningly in front of SN. She was serious about the cutting out SN's tongue thing.

"I SAID, LEAVE HER ALONE!" Riff bellowed, now looking absolutely furious. He ignored Twoey once the Sohmas weren't in Twoey's grasp anymore. "Will I have to shoot? I would not like to do that, yet if it must happen..." Orin continued to ignore Riff, and scowled at Evanesce. "No!" he snapped, turning SN's face back towards him. He had grabbed her face first! He had first dibs! "You're gonna wait 'til I'm done!"

"NO! I threatened her first!" Evanesce snapped, snatching SN's face back. Technically, she couldn't die, so Evanesce had no worries about being killed. She forced SN's mouth open, ignoring the girl's squirming and attempts to pull away. Holding the fangirl's mouth open, she slowly started cutting into the soft tongue tissue. SN's mouth was now holding itself open in a silent scream of agony. Bayleef and Ivysaur now looked over at Ivy in curiosity. She seemed different from the other people there. Because Evanesce was in the way, they didn't see that their trainer was being tortured, or they would have helped. The two grass-types glanced at each other.

Riff could just barely see what was going on from where he stood, and he was not happy. His normally pale skin reddened a little, as he aimed the laser directly at Evanesce, gripping the weapon so tightly his knuckles were white. A confused Magenta glanced at Riff, then at his target. She had no clue why he was pointing that blasted gun at someone. She walked over to him, then stood on tiptoe, peering the direction he was glaring, and barely managed to catch a glimpse of what was going on. Oh, so that was why. Ivy examined the Pokemon with a grin. "Plant creatures?" she asked nobody in particular. She glanced around, then lowered her voice. "You two have any deadly toxins in your systems?"
