Shirayuki is absolutely adorable.

Umu.


It was a bloody battlefield. A scorched land of cataclysmic proportions laid waste by the numerous Catastrophes that assailed it relentlessly.

A bead of sweat trickled down Doctor's face, his teeth grit in a mixture of stress and frustration. One trembling hand clenched into a fist as another one of his remaining units was annihilated, turned to ash by a storm of hellfire. He could still hear the faint screams of his ally, burning away even more of his defenses to a crisp.

He raised his head towards the enemy commander, nothing but despair at the forefront of his mind as his eyes met the one who had crushed his forces with contemptuous ease.

Her eyes were half-lidded, almost mocking him with a smugness that beat against his already tattered pride. Her expression practically spoke volumes of how little she considered him, the chocolate in her mouth making audible crunches as it was devoured by the monster who had him at her mercy.

Truly, Doctor had picked the wrong battle to fight today. He made the mistake of underestimating his opponent, a mistake he was dearly paying for not realizing the underlying experience that lay within that tiny frame of a girl who ground him under her heel.

"Come on, Sir Rhodes Island! Make your move." The Petram said as she yawned. "We don't have all day, you know?"

"Guh…" Doctor shakily directed his last platoon forward, fingers unable to stop trembling even after he set the marker down. This was his final chance; if he could break through her line, he'd be able to have access to the weapon that would determine his chances of victory-!

His hope evaporated into sheer horror when the predator grinned.

He had walked right into her trap.

'No...No…!' One by one, his remaining forces were torn apart. The beast devoured his allies and friends indiscriminately, jumping from one point to the next in search of its next victims. It had an insatiable appetite, only the relentless shedding of blood capable of quenching its endless thirst for blood.

Dreams were crushed.

Lives were torn away.

The battle was decided.

He had lost.

Cuora smiled to herself as she stretched in her seat, clearly satisfied with her victory. "Ahhhhhh! Nothing like a great match of checkers to get the blood flowing! That was a great game, Sir Rhodes Island! You're a lot more fun to play with compared to most of the other people here! Ah, not that they aren't fun to play with too!"

Doctor twitched in his seat at the praise, still not quite in the world of the living to share the turtle's enthusiasm.

"Still, this room is pretty cramped. When did your office get so small? All people told me was that the sparky, shield lady exploded." At that, Cuora's eyes widened, pupils practically sparkling with intrigue. "Did...did you use magic? That's so cool, Mr. Rhodes Island!"

Doctor gave a response that sounded like the mixture of a whimper and a groan, his body still mimicking that of a dead fish.

"I wanna learn how to use magic too! That way, I can carry even more baseballs with me! Come on, you've got to teach me, Mr. Rhodes! While you do that, we can play another game of checkers–!"

At that, Doctor broke out of the closet, scaring the living daylights out of a passing-by Warfarin.


Doctor: I had a lot of fun playing with Sir. Rhodes Island today! We played checkers, card games, and ate lots of yummy snacks! I want to play baseball next time! We should have more friends join us next time!

Amiya: Cuora, please don't use Doctor's terminal for things like this! This is a public messaging board!

Also can someone please convince Doctor that Miss Cuora isn't the spawn of...'Gamera?'
