Fables Plot Public Post!
Who: Public
What: The Open Post for Public Threading for the Epic Fable Plot
Where: Throughout the building.
When: 12:01
Warnings: Any number of crazy things could end up in here.
Notes: Alright! This post is for public threads only, and will be run party style. Anyone can jump into a thread at any time--just use your judgment! Feel free to hop around, go to different parts of the building, and mingle through the madness.

12:01. The beginning of a new day, just broken in, still fresh. Most of the building was sleeping, as decent people ought to be at such an hour.

The building, down at its foundations, was restless. A storm had been gathering for the past week, in its joints and its doorways, in its windows and its keyholes. 12:01, the storm broke over Bellum.

It was as if the building stretched, yawned, shook itself. There was a shudder in reality, as if the air itself was nothing more than a funhouse mirror. Faster than you could snap your fingers and the thing was done, set into motion before the darkest hours of the morning had yet come around.

A twitch, a snap, a static shock.

And then the changes started.

Help from what? It made her pause and she frowned. What was it that she was afraid of? There was a name on her lips but it didn't seem right. She didn't fear him. She never did. And the danger looming over her, over them, that wasn't him, right? The thing that was lurking, that threatened everything in this home, that couldn't be him.

"From... It's dangerous out there. Don't you know? You shouldn't be going out there on your own?" The reprimand slipped out, but she sounded more worried than scandalized. She gently tried to lead Kiki back to her bedroom. "We should be staying inside. At least at night." There could still be danger in the day time but at night... night was when he would come.

Kiki nodded at that; it was dangerous, but she didn't know why, and it was vaguely amusing that Lena kept going on and on about it. "You're just so silly," she chided, even as she kept sauntering along with the other woman. Peter was moving briskly around the apartment and she watched him, as if seeing him for the first time.

"What's the worry? Let's have champagne..." She appealed to Peter first, giving him a winsome smile. "She's being ridiculous, isn't she?"

Pete looked back and forth between the two women and he knew he needed to keep them safe, more than that he needed to keep everyone safe. There was a monster out there and he wasn't going to let it hurt anyone...else?

The daylight was safer, they just had to make it through this night. "Miss Curren, I think you should stay away from the champagne for now," he answered simply and directly. He looked over to Lena, "Darling, I am going to step outside," he held his hand up before she could speak, "I won't be long, I want to make sure everyone else is safe. Stay inside with Miss Curren and don't let anyone in, do you understand me?"

Helena gave Kiki a little sigh, first at being called silly and then being called ridiculous. "Maybe. Perhaps a bit," she conceded but was quick to add, "but that evil is still out there." It did feel silly and ridiculous to say but it was the truth. Something terrible was lurking out there. Before she could press further her husband was saying he was stepping out, and refusing to let her protest. She was nodding, even if her face didn't look particularly pleased with his plan.

"But we have friends out there," she said softly, not wanting to think they would leave them out there where it was dangerous. Peter had that Cole fellow and Kiki had a more than a handful of friends in the building. And she had Ella, and... and... There was someone else but their name and face refused to come. She didn't have time to think on it more, now that her husband was leaving. Kiki was still with her and she was too far from him. She'd have to lock and bolt that door later.

"Please hurry back." Her mind was turning over with precaution she could take. She had her cross and if she could tear herself away from her friend long enough, she could find some rosaries. She had a small vial of holy water but that wouldn't be enough. She knew that with only her and Kiki, they didn't have a strong line of defense in their unit. "Hurry back," she pleaded one last time before turning to the blonde. "Come, I know it's late and you must be tired. But we must lock everything. Do you still have a cross?" If she didn't Helena would simply give her the one around her throat.

Did Peter suddenly get sexier? Kiki was so preoccupied with that thought she allowed Helena to tug her away, and it took her a moment to understand her friend's question.

"A cross?" she echoed, puzzled, and she laughed. "No. Silly superstitious trappings, please." Still, she felt a slight chill at her outrageously sacrilegious statement and she gave Lena a worried look.

Pete gave both the girls the once over, just to make sure that they'd be safe, hoping they'd listen. He looked at Miss Curren and smiled a bit, "Help keep my wife safe," he knew that the monster out there had ways to get to Lena. He couldn't let that happen.

He looked back to Lena seriously, "I know we have friends, I'll find help, and I'll make sure our friends are safe, Lena. I promise, just stay safe tonight." He reminded her sternly before he straightened his hat and left out the front door reminding them to lock it behind them immediately. He prayed that they wouldn't let anyone or anything into the apartment.
