250 - Fear Itself Mingle
[ Today is a day where most would be at risk of oversleeping.The dome lies dark like in the dead of night. The sun hasn’t risen today, streetlights casting a dull yellow glow and occasionally flickering out into nothing, only to spark back to life a moment later. There is no electric flicker from the kiosk. The Wardens are still. The wardens are silent.

The dome isn’t silent. There is a rustling of leaves, a snapping of twigs. Claws, scraping against concrete. The inhuman screech of an animal in peril, an animal hunting, an animal hunted. A screech that promises sharp claws and sharper teeth and blood.

The dome isn’t still either. There is something moving, thick as a shadow, tangible as a chill down your spine. Something that doesn’t belong here, something that snuck in when no one was looking. A boogeyman under the bed. A ghost in the closet. A will o’ the wisp, blinking in and out of existence under the flickering streetlights. Whatever it is it’s moving, leaving a trail of cold, dead fear wherever it passes. Something dark. A shadow so pitch black that it blots out the very lights in your heart, dragging your fears out screaming and kicking, reducing even the strongest, toughest man to a blubbering baby.

Perhaps best to stay in bed today, Marina. ]

Encounter butterflies or her real form! OTA

[Not good. It's been a long time since Raptors were in Marina. A time, even, that Yuuki can't really recall. Although they are fast, and frightening, Yuuki manages rather well against them. She's strong, fast, and can lift well out of their reach if needed.

It's the other's she's most worried about. While mainly centered within Sector Zero, butterflies stretch across the sectors as far as she can reach without tiring too much. They faintly glow (intentionally) while searching out those who might need help. She'll quickly go to someone if one of her butterflies spots trouble.

So while her butterflies spread out, her brows knit while she physically (her true form) waits, silently, and at the ready for the next raptor to pass her way.]

[Ianto has ventured outside against his better judgement, trying to figure out just what is going on. He's armed with a few bars of chocolate since that's the only thing he knows that works against dinosaurs or whatever these are. At first he manages to avoid the raptors entirely, although he can't help the fear every glimpse of them seems to strike in him.

In the end its well-founded. One of the creatures spots him and does not seem particularly interested in the chocolate he uses to try and lure it in the other direction. It spots him instead and he's just thinking how he could, perhaps, use a little help when he sees a butterfly fluttering nearby.]

	[C-Chocolate. Armed with chocolate, Ianto... orz. To begin though, the butterfly takes note of the raptor. And when it does, a number of other butterflies begin to gather and split. They lower, for now, a sort of shield between him and the raptor. Even if they don't appear to be much.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[In his defense the chocolate has worked against a pterodactyl in the past. Right now though he's equally interested in the sudden odd behavior of the butterflies. The raptor seems to hesitate at the sight of them as well. In the pause it buys him he's able to make a break for it, running as quickly as he can to get away from the creature and incidentally heading towards the source of the insects.]

[It makes it a little easier if he can make it to sector 0. At least, Yuuki knows she more easily help someone that way. But as he takes off running the raptor takes off after him with a cry.

As quickly as it moves, a different cry and sickening squelch can be heard from the dinosaur, though. Run through the raptor at odd angels, daggers jut out from the swarm of butterflies, dripping with the creatures blood. As it dies and twitches the daggers disappear, dissolving once more solely into butterflies all over again.

A couple of butterflies float after Ianto, but if he continues to run instead of turn back, they'll die away as he nears the girl behind them.]

[The sound stops Ianto in his track and he stares as the butterflies tear through the raptor. The chocolate bar hangs forgotten in his hand as he watches. Clearly these are not your average butterflies although he probably should have been able to guess that when they formed that shield.

He's pretty near to sector 0 at the point and he glances around, spotting the figure by the butterflies.]

Thanks. Assuming those were your magic butterflies, I mean.

I am so so sorry for the late tag. December swept me away orz

[She's just relieved that he's all right. To be honest, she's a little stretched thin. The power restrictions in Marina make it difficult.]

Mm, but are you okay?

[Her focus is on him. At least one of benefits to the butterflies is that she has eyes in all directions.]

You should be inside! Where do you live? Is there something that you need? I'm on the defense force and can help.

	No worries! Its such a busy time of year! readystopwatch 2014-01-03 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	[He manages a reassuring smile that's only slightly shaky.] I'm alright. Not my first encounter with a dinosaur although admittedly the chocolate worked better on the last one. I'm on the investigation team, actually. Hence the investigating. Ianto Jones, nice to meet you. [He might be scared, but he's still going to manage manners.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well thank you for the patience <3 trappedinresin 2014-01-03 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	Well, Mr. Investigative... I think you need teamed up with a Combat member of the team. [Because there is only so much a candy bar can do.] My name is Yuuki. I'm the Team Leader of Sector Zero. [She releases a bit of a heavy sigh] I've branched out a bit today though. [With the butterflies.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Generally I work with Captain Jack Harkness, but not this time. Its a bit complicated. [He doesn't really have time to explain that he's supposed to be hiding out from a vampire not out investigating whatever the hell is going on.] Wish it was under better circumstances. How do the butterflies work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-01-05 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	I see... [Oops, well wonder how he'll feel about this?] The butterflies are a part of me. I can split my consciousness between them all. I'm a vampire with-- a couple of tricks like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-01-06 12:12 am UTC (link)
	[Its more specific to Spike than vampires in general.] Really? I didn't exactly picture vampires and butterflies going together. [A smile. After all it is rather interesting.] I'm afraid I'm not too good in these situations without a firearm myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-01-06 02:50 am UTC (link)
	[She shrugs and smiles a bit in response.] To be honest I think there's a lot of misconceptions. [She frowns a little.] Unfortunately, though, I can't help you much in regards to a firearm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll have to remember to ask you about them at a less dire time. For the moment I'll settle for getting back home in one piece. Unless you're busy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He glances around to orient himself.] Sector 4. Just there. Thanks, by the way. Give me a human opponent and I can do alright in a fight but I don't fancy trying to tackle one of those things alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They're scary. I can't imagine anything scarier than getting eaten.

[Even she thinks so]

You're welcome, though. [She points to her eyes] I see better in the dark, so it wont be hard to navigate. Though-- [Cough] Do you want to get there quickly, or... take the slower route?

[Erm...] You might lose a bit of dignity if we move fast, but you wont have to worry about getting eaten.

	[His face says quite clearly how very much that is not happening.] I think I'll risk the raptors. No offense. I promise I'm not as entirely useless in a fight as that first impression may have suggested in case we do run into trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-01-11 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	Somehow I expected that answer. [Men don't seem too happy with being carried by women.] That's fine. Lets just move as quickly as possible. There's still others wandering around the sectors, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-01-12 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	[It certainly is for masculinity reasons, just not the ones she might expect. He doesn't like being the helpless gay who needs rescuing, even though he's the only one who would see the situation that way.] Right. I'd rather not encounter any more myself. Come on. [He starts toward Sector 4, looking wary.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
