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. ]

	[She ought to be pulling back, not straining forward, leaning in with a puzzled and somewhat terrified look. His voice catches her attention; she glances over suddenly, startled.] I... did you hear something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-12-19 06:33 am UTC (link)
	Possibly. But now is not the time to be standing about waiting to find out what it was. It is very dangerous. [He would stay there and wait for her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2013-12-20 12:05 am UTC (link)
	I know, but there's something... [Something that she can't approach. She's contrary enough that it makes her crazy.] Have you seen what's out there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-12-21 08:42 am UTC (link)
	I have. It is not friendly. [He didn't look too thrilled with it, either.] They have been among the general population before. In the other dome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2013-12-21 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	You have useful experience? [She glances over again, still inexplicably nervous.] I find myself... Unable to proceed in this direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The large creatures have been in the dome before. It was approximately 180 days ago. [He had counted 182, to be exact, but he knew his ability to recite exact counts off the cuff could be disturbing to some humans.] They are extremely violent and dangerous, and they travel in groups. It is best to avoid them when possible.

[He glanced along the same area she had been attempting to travel into. His expression held a hint of concern about it.]

I would follow that... hunch. [He nodded. He wasn't sure why, but he felt the same way, and he wasn't going to argue with it in this situation.] If you tell me where you are attempting to go, I can perhaps help you locate an alternate route.

	[She shakes her head slightly; this is as close as Robbins gets to sheepish.] I was attempting to discover the source of my own inexplicable emotional distress-- so, unfortunately, there is no alternate route. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes, a hunch should be listened to. If something is telling you not to proceed in that direction, perhaps it is best to follow the unspoken advice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2013-12-27 02:34 pm UTC (link)
	It doesn't disturb you that there's something out there, something unknown? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2013-12-30 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	It does. But I am capable of defending myself if needed. It is also my purpose here as part of the Defense Force to make sure others are safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2013-12-31 05:15 am UTC (link)
	[That's a good point, and she's really not inclined to make his job more difficult. With a slight frown that's equal parts frustration and concentration, she takes a slow, hesitant step back.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-02 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Are you armed at all? [He didn't see anything that looked like a recognizable weapon.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2014-01-03 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Unfortunately, I am not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-03 04:05 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded.] I have a knife, but I do not think I can defend against more than one at a time. Are you okay with running if we need to do so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2014-01-06 03:02 am UTC (link)
	If we must, [she agrees, clearly not a fan of the idea. She takes another careful step backward, away from the ineffable center of terror, her posture becoming the slightest bit less tense as she does.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Very well.

[He moved back with her, also relaxing a bit more. It was disconcerting that he felt his abilities were being messed with, but he had decided playing it safe today was their best bet.]

However, if you want to continue exploring, I would recommend you find a way to arm yourself.

[He would be willing to escort her to find a weapon if she preferred that over staying in a safe location.]

	first_xo 2014-01-10 12:36 am UTC (link)
	I agree, that would be a prudent precaution. [Really, she should have thought of it. Had thought of it, even, but hadn't found anything at hand; nothing dangerous that wasn't too precious to risk laying about the apartment, and she hadn't had the presence of mind to raid the plumbing.] I don't expect there's a ready store of armaments available for us, however.

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-10 02:01 am UTC (link)
	No. There is not. However, it is not difficult to make do with household items that can be found in the convenience store or Bulls Eye. [His kitchen knife was a good example of that.] The convenience store is closer. [It was his way of offering to help her find something.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2014-01-13 01:06 am UTC (link)
	Can you lead the way? I am... [this is a reluctant admission] somewhat disoriented, as a result of whatever psychic interference is present in this area. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-01-13 04:08 am UTC (link)
	[Tieria nodded.] Yes. I can do that. [It was an odd interference as well, but his quantum brainwaves were keeping at least his sense of direction even if they weren't preventing him from being emotionally affected by whatever was going on.] This way. [He started walking, making sure she was with him.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
