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. ]

	[He takes the offered hand and allows her to help him up to his feet.] Away from the creatures with the sharp teeth that think I'd make an excellent snack. Seriously, it's like those things are everywhere. [Though it looks like he'll get a little break from that action as he glances around and sees no raptors in sight at the moment.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think you're fast enough that they can't catch up for now. It's like me slipping through a wall when they get too close. [She smiled a little.] But, yeah. I know what you mean. They're all over the place. So far, though, they're the only things I've seen... even if it does feel like other stuff is out there. [Creepy heebie jeebies and all that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He gives a little smile back, and slides his goggles atop his head.]

Yeah, this place sure does have a good creepy vibe going on right now.

[Truth is he's been having the same feeling about something else being out there, but he's been trying his best to ignore it. That hasn't gone as well as he'd like, though.]

But, hey, at least the lights are finally back on. [And as if on cue, the lights in the dome flicker a few seconds later before they find themselves in complete darkness.] ...Or not. [Oops. That one is on him.]

	[She sighed loudly.] Yeah. Go figure. It's all about timing in this place, I swear. [She reached out, though, and took hold of his hand. A little nervously. But, hey, it was all good, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tell me abo-- [...Wait. Did she just grab his hand? He thinks she just grabbed his hand. And he knows it's just so they don't get separated in the dark, but it still makes him a little flustered for several reasons.] I, uh, think we should, um, probably try and find a flashlight or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-01-03 02:50 am UTC (link)
	[Yup. She did. And she wasn't letting go anytime soon, either.] Yeah. That's probably a good idea. [In the dark with all the crazy things going on, she couldn't really tell he was getting flustered.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-01-05 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	[He's just gonna roll with the hand holding for the time being. Though he probably shouldn't tell Artemis about this lest he becomes target practice for her.] Bull's Eye is just down the street. We can probably get what we need there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-01-07 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. [Plus, this would be a lot easier for her to phase him out with her if they were attacked, so it was all good, right? Yeah. They wouldn't lose each other in the dark, she could make him intangible if needed. No problems!] That sounds good. [She walked with him quietly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-01-08 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	[Except Wally doesn't do silence real well, especially of the awkward variety, so after a minute or so of walking, he clears his throat.] So, did you even know that we had dinosaurs here? [He didn't get that memo until today.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-01-09 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Uh-huh. They've come out before... in the other Marina. This is the first time I've seen them here, though. [Watching for dinobirds... totally watching for dinobirds. Damn it was getting creepy around here. Her grip tightened just a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-01-10 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	Well how nice of them to choose today of all days to come out and play. [They should be almost to the store now, but he can't see it. Really, he can't see much of anything at the moment. But he can feel her grip his hand a little tighter.] ...Everything okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2014-01-11 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Was today something special? [She looked up at him, curious, and then tried to smile bravely at his question.] Oh... yeah. Sure it is. [Only, not really. She felt really nervous suddenly. Like something was following them.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
