Hey, Q? You alright? Where are you?

[Duo muttered something, 'and he's probably still restrained, too...']

Damn it.

[Reid has placed himself just outside the shelter entrance, making sure none of the groups coming in were waylaid by anything unpleasant. He's holding a flashlight, keeping it trained on the path that lead there. He's a little on edge. He's never liked the dark. Having a flashlight is what's keeping his mind in the game.]

Wow, everyone's so fussy this morning. When I stop to look outside or something, it's pretty funny to watch you know.

Not being able to see what's going on is sort of, well... It's kind of looking at people who are just hallucinating. Chasing butterflies in the outfield, so to speak. But I guess if it's enough to make you all yell and stuff then it's got to be creepy.  Scary,  since there's nothing I can do about it, but very funny too. Kind

Otherwise? It's sort of loud. I think I'll take my headset off today.

[He doesn't actually mean that last part.]

Wonder who else doesn't see what's going on...

[Tieria cursed as the lights went out, cringing as the sirens wailed loudly. He was on his way to Sector Three.]

Are we going to have to start carrying flashlights all the time now?

[He moved to the side, listening to network traffic on his comm as much as he could over the sirens. So far, no reports of monsters. In this racket, though, it would be hard to hear them if they came. Once he found the wall, he sent out a short query via quantum brainwaves to confirm where the others involved in this morning's meeting were. It wasn't anything complex, just a questioning feeling, really, as they'd probably need to conserve their energy if this ended up lasting all day.]

[His room looks like something from a horror house and he has headache from all the noise over the communicator and in the room next door--not to mention the noise that woke him up far too late into the night when a certain person came home with "company"--and Itachi can feel the urge to possibly hit something.

And now the kitchen has also been distorted and he can't find what he needs to make tea.

...Why did he agree to move in with Kitty in the first place?

He needs a distraction. And since the people here seem to enjoy answering questions...]

Something for your thoughts. If you had to know the day of your death or the manner of your death, which would you choose?

Neither is not a viable answer.

{OOC: Action open to people in the house.}

[The broadcast starts with the sound of a sword sliding back into a sheath, and footsteps.]

Whoever mentioned monster attacks to me? You weren't kidding. Raptors... it's like something out of a bad movie.

Does anyone need a hand?

[The sirens are enough by themselves to wake anyone up. Thankfully Akito's tuner kit contains a small torch which lights up the room. Agito's the first to recover, flicking on a channel to ask wtf is going on, but.

When things start changing, it's enough of a reminded to make Akito scream]

Fuck- Akito what-?

[If you're able to translate very stammered, very fast talking, you can hear Akito repeating 'Not again' over and over. The crying doesn't make it any easier to hear either]

The hell...? What the fuck is going on? [That is demanded to the rest of the place, while Agito tries to calm his other down and stop him clinging hard enough to hurt]


((OOC: Action open to housemates))

Does anyone need help getting to the shelter?

Yuuki, where are you?

[Action]

[Kamui is done trying to deal with this madness inside the house. He pushes open the front door of his Sector 5 home, flashlight in hand, and peers around cautiously. When he sees that there are not monsters immediately nearby, he leans back into the house and calls after his housemate.]

Subaru! Come on, we should get out of here.

[With that warning shouted, Kamui steps off the front porch and towards the streets. Don't mind if he seems a little twitchy and neurotic. A skinned, headless, crucified corpse recently appeared in his bedroom is all.]

[The video clicks on with a loud crash. After a moment or two of static--that is probably due to the face Jun just hit a wall--the video clears up with the communicator on the ground. When it clears, it's staring up...and up...at a terrible, stitched thing with way too many arms and heads and everythings. There's a very close view, because said thing is trying to pin Jun down, to get to pulling him apart.]

Gu---ahhhh! [There's a sickening popping noise as his shoulder dislocates, but he manages to get a hand free--and snarls, a strange ring to his voice.]

Get off of me!

[The screen goes white in a brilliant flash of light, and there's a scrabbling sound as the communicator is picked up, before the video is turned off.]

[ooc: While the communicator is off, Jun's dialogue is in Japanese, but the intent should still be pretty clear. :Db]

( Click )

[Ciel grabs his communicator and makes a mad dash for a door that is still in existence and immediately leaves through it. Even with the darkness and strange images on his walls, he manages to fight his way completely out of the mansion in his panic. He sinks to his knees in the courtyard and violently trembles. He then brings his knees up to his chest and buries his face in them.

A passerby will hear audible gasps and possibly the sound of retching. Upon closer inspection, you would find the small boy, trembling like the child he is. His eyes might be damp, but you can't tell because of how firmly hidden they are from the world outside his knees.]

[[Open to anyone who wants to come by!]]

[Saya isn't sure why she went out today. Most of her was still trying to talk herself out of it, even as she peers, extra cautious, around a corner. She should be home, huddled up with Jeanne and a flashlight in a fort they'd make; but it was like... something was calling her.]

[And how idiotic was that. She really should get ba --]

[A growl behind her freezes Saya where she stands. Her head slowly turns against her will... to stare straight into the face of a lizard monster. The next moment she's running, reaching up to switch on her communicator:]

H-help! Someone...!

[She can feel the monsters on her heels as she sprints around a corner -- dead end. She turns and slowly backs herself into the wall as the lizards, three of them, creep ever closer.]


((OOC: Any one coming to Saya's aid, be warned that Saya will be turning all badass vamp once cornered... and depending on IC actions, she might attack her benefactor. Ping me on Saya's journal or AIM to discuss further if you want to put limits on that, I can totally work around 'no injury' clauses or the like!))

[She's been doing as Jun said and hasn't ventured outside, instead having gathered all the flashlights she could find and made sure the shelter's first floor common area was well lit. Hopefully none of the batteries will run out...]

If anyone needs healing, come to the shelter! [THAT MEANS YOU, JUN.]

*Starting the day off with a siren, then darkness (then a giant ball in the sky) then monsters? If he didn't know any better, Alucard would have sworn he'd woke up in Castlevania. He'd heard a lot of chatter about people trying to get to the shelter. He already lived there, so he decided the least he could do was keep the entrance clear from monsters.*

People in need of safety, get into the shelter! *The dhampir cracks off a hefty branch from a tree.* What I wouldn't give for my sword about now...


((OOC: Go harass a dhampir on your way to the shelter or go help him fight! Threadjack all you like.))

[Saki's sitting up against the window, watching the shadows creep along the ground outside. Naoya's stupid cat is curled up in her lap and she hasn't shoved it off yet. She's going a bit stir crazy in this house, but wandering out would probably be worse.]

How's everyone doing? Is anyone hurt? [Concern? Nah. Curiosity.]

[... okay, maybe a bit of concern. don't tell anyone.]
