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. ]

	"More like giant turkeys!" Which, given his almost excited expression should be enough to communicate what he wanted done with one of them. Oven roasted. They have feathers, after all! "You need some help?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Long as you don't spook my horse," he answers. Help is always appreciated. Mal doesn't really wait for an answer. He starts walking the horse, keeping a sharp look out for any of the creatures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shad moves alongside, ignoring the horse for the most part, as it probably is more comfortable that way. He moves on ahead and sniffs at the air. It's clear he hears something, or smells something. He just can't pinpont where it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mal and the horse follow as quietly as they can. Granted, horse hooves aren't all that quiet and make a definite clip clop on the ground. So maybe it wasn't a good idea to bring the horse. But it sure beats fighting the creatures on foot. The horse catches some sort of smell and snorts in fear, shying right. "To the left," Mal whispers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shadow meanwhile is as silent as a cat can be, paw pads being very useful in cushioning each foot fall as he moves. When Mal speaks, he flicks his ears and crouches low, moving a bit away from the horse as he zeroes in on scent of potential pry.

He could see something, not sure what part of the animal it was.

Then it moved, screeching at him and parting it's jaws wide. It was charging the horse! Shadow moved to intercept.

	The horse reared up, hooves flailing. Mal held on and got her down and began charging the raptor as well, holding the pitchfork akin to how ancient knights would hold a lance. He payed enough attention to Shadow to see where the lion was. Best not to hurt an ally, no matter how odd the ally was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He traded blows with the feathered fiend, the creature's claws only managing to land light cuts, but that didn't stop him. He slapped the thing with his own claws as he searched for an opening with his jaws. Going for the neck, he pounces, the two of them tumbling about as they bite at each other.

He was grateful he had thicker fur around his neck, though nothing nearly as impressive or useful as an adult lions.

Managing to get a grip around the creatures neck he growled out in pain as that killing claw ripped into his side. Help! Heeeelp!

Mal and Serenity were right behind the giant cat. Mal tried to keep the horse from trampling his ally, but everything was such a mass of confusion. He spotted an opening, however, and quickly dug his pitchfork into the side of the oversized bird, just missing the lion's paw as he did so.

The creature screams in pain, and Mal loses his grip on the pitchfork as the horse tries to get away.

"Come on Serenity. Don't run away on me now."

IT was enough to get leverage and avoid getting his guts spilled right out. He growled and pushed the thing off him, snapping his jaws around the creature's neck and biting down until he felt blood gushing into his mouth and the dinosaur went limp.

He dropped it, shaking his hide before looking to Mal and the horse. Oh...

Throwing his paw onto the ground, he extended his powers under the horse, to at least try and seize her in place by locking up her form through her shadow. Stay still, horse.

	The horse stopped so suddenly, Mal almost flew off. He found his balance and reached forward to pet the horse's neck. "Woah girl. Woah now. It's over for now. Come on... let's go back." He turned towards Shadow. "You alright there? We need to go to the clinic?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A low growl is emitted and he lets the horse go from his little hold, meandering slowly forward. He would heal, but he would need to eat something first to accelerate his healing process. Looking to Mal, he shook his head and grabbed the little beasty by the neck and tore a chunk of meat off it's neck to swallow whole, licking a bit of the blood.

It was just enough to start the healing process of the wound on his side which he was worried about.

"I'll be fine..." Just give him a minute.

	Mal lifts an eyebrow. "Fine? He... clawed you. You shouldn't be..." And then he sees the thing is healing. Mal groans a bit. "More magic. I'm startin' to think that it's a fluke I was brought here, all you magical folk." Still, he stays around to make sure there are no more while the lion is down for the count.

	"Accelerated healing isn't magic." And it wasn't, so he thought. his powers might be from a unknown and potentially magical darkness realm, but he never really associated his healing power with magic. "I dunno what you mean. I haven't seen anyone using magic around here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ain't magic! How ain't that magic? Don't know anyone else can do it! An' then there's the girl with light streaming from her fingers. And all manner of vampires."

To Mal, most things seemed like magic. And he disliked all of it. It threw his worldview off too much. And of course, there were plenty of ordinary humans here too. He was just in a bad mood from the raptors.

	"Vampires suck anyway. It ain't magic' because it's just like, biology. I heal really fast, but I gotta eat first!" Aaand he illustrates this by swallowing another strip of meat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-01-07 05:34 am UTC (link)
	Mal watches this odd show of nature for a moment before the horse lets him know it's uncomfortable. "Righ'... Serenity needs to be taken care of. I'll jus' leave you to yer meal there..." (Reply to this) (Parent)
