>"Cute."
>The youkai smiles at you briefly, then steps aside as the spear-wielding tengu reaches Chisato and Miyuki, and starts to bind them as well.
>Once your own ankles are bound tight enough to nearly cut off your circulation, the tengu behind grabs your tail and ties it uncomfortably to the side of your leg, securing it in enough places to prevent most movement from it. The rope here digs into you in a considerably more unpleasant way than your other limbs, and your captor clearly isn't concerned with your comfort.
>Ishi starts to stir again during this procedure, and Ren bring another length of rope over to restrain her. The kappa takes this rather less well than the rest of you, kicking the tengu as she nears and then headbutting her arm, all the while shouting a torrent of... something or other; her words are muffled to incoherence beneath her gag, but her spirit is unmistakable. Ren eventually settles for holding her upside down as she binds her ankles, but Ishi tries to swing herself at the tengu like an angry pendulum. This is about as effective as one would expect, which is to say: not at all. The tengu's arm span is so much longer than the furious mechanic's that she can't even reach her, though this hardly stops her from trying. Even after being tied and set back down again, Ishi starts to roll after the pirate and headbutt her ankles.
>Ren looks down at her. "What are you hoping to accomplish, kappa?"
>Ishi's reply is as incomprehensible as everything else that's come out of her mouth lately.
>The last of your bindings finished, the tengu behind gives you a shove and there's little you can do in your current state to keep from falling on top of the blue-haired spitfire. She lets out the nearest approximation of an 'oof' and then starts squirming beneath you. Ren throws the other tengu a glare.
