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. ]

[Sorry, Toul, but Duo was a firm believer in kill or be killed, especially when it came to creatures like this. Humans were a different matter entirely, but these monsters had decided he was a tasty snack, and he'd rather use a stabbity spear than a blunt stick to fight them off with. It had higher chances for his own hide to stay intact.

He heard her voice and turned, weapon ready, though he was looking past her as she came towards him.]

How many are behind you?

[Because, if it was only one or two, he was going to try scaring them off so they could get away. More than that, though, and running probably was the better choice.]

I don't know the the number exactly! [She turned back quickly for a moment, trying to get an idea.] Smaller than a lion hunting party, but there are at least three. We shouldn't stay here.

[Then she turns back to him, ready to reach out and grab him hand to pull him along with her.] I was told that they're also inmates, but I rather think they are not interested in borrowing a cup of milk from their neighbors.

	["Lion hunting party"? Odd choice of analogies, but he left it alone.] I doubt they are, too. [He frowned.] But, hey... I'm not planning on staying, but that doesn't mean they can't catch up. I've heard these jerks are fast. [He started off the other way. Damn...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can't go back that way! [She does not want to fight herself, but Toul couldn't possibly leave him to fight them on his own.] If they are fast, then we should be going to places they can't get into. Like buildings with fewer windows. They...can't open doors, can they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2014-01-02 04:30 am UTC (link)
	I dunno. I haven't heard if they can. But, I'm not gonna just sit inside a building when there might be someone out there who can't get to one. [Duo had an odd sense of duty when it counted. Sure, he was looking out for his own skin by sticking to shadows and all that, but he was definitely not going to sit by a do nothing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Toul would really like to argue the fact that putting your life in danger for a person that may or not be in danger themselves--she hasn't seen anyone else except this young man here--doesn't make as much sense as he thinks it does, but she's not someone who could leave someone if they were in danger either. It's the entire reason why she's standing here with him instead of fleeing on her own. So she takes a deep breath and turns back the way she came.]

All right, then. We best be quick about it before they see us.

	Of course. [He offered her a smirk.] I wouldn't have it any other way. [He started off, spear firmly in hand.] Have you seen a lot of them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is the largest group I've come across so far. Mostly I'd only seen pairs or threes. I had managed to slip by them, but thought one of them may have caught my scent. [She tightens her grip on her staff, holding it with both hands as he move along, looking around the corners before continuing on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2014-01-07 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	There's that chance. Seems kinda quiet right now. Maybe they moved off. [If they were lucky... but he was still on guard and alert in his movements and watching. He was listening to her, but not looking at her in favor of keeping an eye on their surroundings.] You know how to fight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bendthekey 2014-01-17 04:10 am UTC (link)
	[She doesn't take offense. She's used to her Master speaking without ever bothering to look directly at her. He was a rather dismissive man.] I've had more than enough training on how to defend one's self, but I much prefer to avoid violence if possible. It doesn't solve anything.

True. But, if we get cornered, something tells me you're not gonna be able to talk your way outta being eaten.

[He sighed, pausing his scanning long enough to give her a serious look.]

These raptors... they're not sentient. You're not fighting a person. It's different. They're gonna eat you or rip you to shreds and they don't care. If it comes down to it, I'm going to do my best to make sure I walk away alive.
