RE1 was relieved to hear the music abruptly cut before she was forced to her feet again, and as a result, remained where she had dropped, in an awkward kneeling position on the ground before the lurid green puddle. She lifted her gaze briefly to regard the individual who'd managed to exact such a humiliating defeat on her. They had a weapon trained upon her, though even if she felt like trying to tackle that it wouldn't stop them doing that....thing again. RE1's gaze set upon the Conductor and lingered for a moment, before turning her eyes down and lowering her head in a gesture of submission. Even as tenacious as RE1 could be she was realistic enough to know there was no way she could win this. The experiment stifled another cough and doubled over, lamenting her own poor fortune. It wasn't fair. She just wanted something to eat. Well. Someone in this case. But ashland dwellers didn't count really. [@Conch Shell VII]
