plot: fables

Who: Everyone!
What: Transformation Plot Post
Where: All over.
When: Moonrise on the 28th.
Warnings: All kinds, I expect.

The moon slipped up past the horizon full, round, and white. Its effects had been predicted, though perhaps not fully believed by the residents of the building.

Moonlight streamed through the windows of the building, washing the city in pale light. For the tenants of Bellum Letale, where ever they were, scattered in the night, it had a tangible effect.

Change rippled through the building, much as it had over a month before. But this was not simply a twitch in the fabric of things, gone in the blink of an eye. It was a rolling change, gradual as the moonrise, tangible, and, in some cases, likely terrifying in its inexorability. People became what they were, what they ought to have been, and what they weren't.

The moon was up, and trouble was about to run high in Bellum.

[Notes: Remember that the events of last month still apply-I.E, those who became vampires will be vampires when they take on their fable form, the Frog Prince will still be human after being turned back last plot, etc. Whether the fables are aware a month has passed since they were last around is up to the players. This log posted with the anon account so that the mods do not wake up tomorrow with 100 notifications in their gmail. Go forth and plot!]

Nina had made sure that she wasn't working on the day of the full moon, just in case. It was much better to be prepared and employed than blow her cover by stabbing another person. She was asleep when the change happened and she didn't notice quite notice it when she woke up because Eponine did not find unusual the patched and ragged dress she was now wearing or the way it made the cool spring evening seem more chilly. She scrabbled through Nina's kitchen for a while, finding and devouring some bread. There were no barricades to build tonight; that had been completed. Since she had no knowledge of an impending attack, Eponine felt safe as she headed out of the apartment with the intention of finding Marius to warn him about that inspector who had been lurking around.

The building was slightly more familiar now, even if it was still unlike anything she had ever seen in Paris. She crept catlike down the stairs, on alert for soldiers. Nina's memories had told her that the inspector was traveling, but she made Eponine do a weapons check just in case. A knife had been folded into the waistband in her skirt, near a single-shot pistol. An old blade that had been fashioned into a shiv was in a pocket. Nina scoffed at all three and wanted to go back to her apartment and arm up for real, but Eponine paid her no attention. What she had was fine for defensive purposes, so it worked for her. She had no real desire to rob or kill anyone and she didn't understand or care for Nina's compulsion to be armed at all times.

Luther was the first thing she saw once she had reached the lobby and it made her tense and crouch into the shadows again. He was walking, although she felt a savage sort of smugness at the cane, and his other hand was positioned in a way that let Nina's experienced eyes know that there was a gun. Not good. She crept along the edge of the room, hidden by the long layered shadows cast by the mix of night and dim lobby and full moon, eying him warily.

	A hint of a smile crossed his face as he felt the impact. Though it cost him a moment, he moved the cane back to one hand before taking off up the stairs. They were more lit, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Instead of retreating, Eponine stayed near the bottom and drew her knife, ready to use it. It caught the light for a split second, giving him a slight warning before the source disappeared again and Eponine was forced to move just a little, to distance herself from the spot that the knife had been revealed. If Javert kept coming, there was going to be trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As she moved, he shadowed her. The cane was tossed to his right hand where he held it up as a guard against the knife. The stinging in his hand made sense now, but as it didn't hurt too much, he refused to look down. It would give Eponine an advantage he couldn't afford to give her. His left hand moved to a pocket, searching for a knife to combat hers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marian rolled the word around -- inspector -- before she absorbed the rest of his response. Criminal. "Where?" Her voice immediately turned shrill and she squeaked in English, unthinking. Spinning, she gathered her shift and robes, considering fleeing when the man reached for her, but for good measure, she screamed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
