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. ]

[Closed to housemates]
[Static on the morning feed and darkness out the window was all Lacus needed. A 200-day veteran of this place who has been -- for good or ill -- hyper-vigilant of late, she wastes no time wondering as to the specifics of this time. She ties her hair tightly back and dons a set of workout clothes with plenty of give, attaching what appears to be a wrist guard to her left arm. Her energy shield has a very limited power source and was only tested once, but it will do for an emergency.]

[She proceeds to the kitchen and calmly starts selecting large knives and heavy blunt objects. Dispassionately, she lines them up on the counter and begins using belts and cloth to makeshift something like a set of holsters. Whatever is out there, she wants to be prepared. She won't be a victim again.]

[Open, Sectors 0, 3 and 4]
[Lacus edges along the sides of buildings, peeks around corners. A gash on her workout shirt is one sign of what she's been up to; not the only one for those who get close. Her eyes are changed, dull... and quick to dart toward even the slightest sound. A large knife at the ready, instinct will have her springing at anything nearby -- if an inmate, she'll stop short; if a raptor or other harmful creature, she has every intention to use it. Just as the wet blade indicates she's been doing for some time.]

((OOC: If you want to get saved by a raptor, fight one together, or have Lacus all-but attack your character, those are all awesome!))

	[Sougo peeks into the kitchen. This is an exciting time for him. Action and ass kicking, these were things he always had a thirst for!] Does this mean it's okay if I make things bleed today? [Only ever the best priorities, of course!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-17 04:31 am UTC (link)
	[Her tight and almost stern expression softens as she glances toward him. She wouldn't see him hurt any more than he would her, but she couldn't possibly question his want to do something in the midst of this madness. As she intends to.] So long as you come home to me. [That's all she cares about on a day like this.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-12-17 05:28 am UTC (link)
	[Ah! He's so excited he could skip around their home! But he keeps it cool.] What are you gonna do? Looks like you're planning something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-17 05:32 am UTC (link)
	Yes. [Her face returning to its serious near-frown, she uses a shortened belt to strap a knife to her thigh, making a few quick movements to ensure it's properly positioned.] People could be in danger, and I intend to help if I can. [She might have pink hair and a tendency toward pacifism, but she's been training and has nearly inhuman reflexes and quickness.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Heh. [He should be taking this seriously, but he's not quite done with the fun just yet.] Lacus in Ass Kicking Mode. I like seeing you like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-23 02:22 am UTC (link)
	[Unfortunately for him, she's taking it seriously enough for them both.] I'm glad you can accept me this way, even if I don't think I like myself very much right now. [She turns to look directly at him, her eyes a hazy gray instead of their normal bright blue.] I will not let myself get hurt again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-12-23 03:00 am UTC (link)
	I'm not gonna let you get hurt again either. Whatever is out there won't know what hit 'em. [Oh yes. He's already thinking of various ass kicking things that can happen.] And more importantly, I've got your back 100%. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-23 03:03 am UTC (link)
	[Her weapons secured at various places on her body, Lacus makes her way over to Sougo; standing close, not touching.] Does that mean you're joining me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[With her nearly dead eyes, Lacus nods. She accepts this part of Sougo; it's herself she's struggling with.] I'll feel better if you're with me.

So long as seeing me do this won't have you think less of me. [Lacus has no illusions about how easily she can kill in her current state. Coordinators were made for combat. Killing will come as naturally to her as water following its current. That's what scares her.]

	Yeah right. [What an amusing thing to say!] I've always wanted to see what more you can do. This will be fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-23 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Mm. [Fun is not exactly what she had in mind.] Are you armed? Do you need breakfast first? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-12-23 04:53 am UTC (link)
	I'm armed. [There's a nod before he frowns at her.] How can you think of breakfast at a time like this? The time for action is now! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-24 03:11 am UTC (link)
	Because it's my job to take care of you. [She grabs a few of the granola bars she made yesterday and puts them into her small knapsack.] I'll bring these in case you get hungry after a while. [Out of that same sack, she brings a butcher knife which she flips around to change her grip.] Shall we? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-12-24 03:30 am UTC (link)
	[He considered protesting against her bringing snacks, but knew that Lacus would only be proven right later. She knew as well as he did that he would get hungry.] Yeah, let's go kick some ass. [He puts a backpack on. This is different. But he had things in there for battle, so he'd just have to be faster than ever!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-24 03:53 am UTC (link)
	[Lacus nods and then walks to the door and steps out into the darkness without hesitation. If one notices such things, they'd see that the way she's moving is drastically different from her normal, floating steps. She looks tensed to spring in any direction immediately -- and in fact, that's exactly what she's prepared to do.] Which way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Stepping into darkness makes him reach over to grab her hand out of fear of what may happen. Sure, he is brave and confident in his skills when it comes to taking down anything, but since this was a case of an unknown situation, it was difficult to feel confident when he wasn't sure of anything. Being unable to protect loved ones was one of his greatest fears.]

This way. [He starts to head in the direction where he is sure leads to Sector 0. Perhaps it was a force of habit, but he thought it was a good place to start.]

[Grateful for his confidence (even if she knows it might be forced), Lacus clings to his hand and easily keeps up with his pace. Sector 0 is a good idea -- central, a hub for the dome, a place people might go to seek answers. It has easy access to all other sectors, as well.]

[The flickering streetlights and inhuman screeching sounds in the distance do little to faze her by now; she's in full SEED mode, senses stretched to their limit, able to handle anything this place tries to throw at her.] It sounds like there's a lot of them, whatever they are.

[Klara has no trouble seeing when the blackouts occur, but she's still wishing she had stayed inside today. But being alone with the power flickering and that dark sense of dread creeping up her spin had not been an option. She felt terrified, as if something was coming, but she couldn't figure out what. The shadows moved and she wanted to get as far away from them as possible.

It's not logical, she tries to tell herself. She knows she can't be harmed easily, knows she can't die easily, but the fear is there. So she had fled out into the dark of the dome.

She moves cautiously around buildings and down shadowed alleys until she smells it. It's strong and sweet and full of something she can't quite pick out from a distance. Blood. Someone is bleeding nearby. And it's wonderful.

No. It's not good. It's bad. It's very bad, because it means someone is hurt and might need help. She should get help. But she doesn't know where the person is. What if she's too late bringing someone to help them? What should she do? It's not heavy enough to be a lot of blood, but she's still worried.

The scent is getting stronger, closer, and Klara freezes on the street, once again struck by that dread and uncomfortable need to get away. She can't stay here. Something bad is going to happen, someone is coming, someone is going to--

She's not paying attention and she hurries, looking behind her and not at the person she is about to collide with as she turns into the dark alley.]

[Her reflexes extended to capacity, Lacus manages to leap above the shadowy figure that suddenly darted into the alley. The blade of her short knife flashes in what little light dapples in from the nearest working streetlight as she spins and prepares to attack -- ]

[She stops mid-strike, blinking as she notes that the thing she's attacking is most certainly not a raptor, as she thought. Her knife-hand is bleeding mildly, but she pays it no mind.]

Oh... I'm terribly sorry. I didn't see it was you at first. Are you all right?

[The smell is so strong and Klara is staring at that hand with the knife and the blood. There is so much fear in the air and she doesn't know if it's just her heart she can hear beating in her ears. Why is she so afraid?

She takes a step back, but doesn't run away. Not yet.]

It...It's fine. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here. [It's not exactly the truth, but it isn't entirely a lie. She knew someone was down this way and they were bleeding. She knew their blood smelled so nice.] Did the monsters attack you?

[ She's not the only hyper-vigilante preparing for war in this household. Of course, Aidan's preparations are a lot simpler — pants tucked into his boots, laces pulled tight, fresh batteries in the flashlight and then he simply grabs the baseball bat he keeps by the bed. It'll do. He's tired of being scared, tired of sitting on the side-lines and watch as others get hurt.

No more. ]

You goin' out? [ Casually, as if they're just parting for the day. As if he's out to get milk. ]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-12-23 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Yes. [Her answer comes without hesitation even as she seems to pause before picking up the weapons she's collected.] I don't think I could stand to be hurt again, or to stand by while others do. I won't like it, but it's what must be done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-12-25 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	[ He makes an affirmative noise, swinging the baseball bat up to rest against his shoulders. ] Be careful out there, alright? (Reply to this) (Parent)
