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. ]

[ And with a heartbreakingly human shriek, the shape that was meant to be Sailor Moon falls to the ground, like a marionette that had its cords cut. She lies sprawled and motionless for a brief moment and then a tremble runs through her limbs, forcing them into a twitch and then a shudder, arms taking on unnatural angles as she pushes herself half-way off the ground.

Begins to crawl closer. ]

Haruka...

	-- *Shaking!* [ Uranus hurls her attack at the creature with a brutality fueled by panic - given how little strength she's got remaining it's now or never. Get away!! And out of her head!! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The attack ripples through the being like water, but does little damage. Like it's not on the same wavelength, not quite bound to the same rules. Limbs twitching violently into place it lifts its head, two large cracked holes where the eyes used to be, like a broken porcelain doll. There's a high pitched wheezing, like breath. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It didn't work? [ Pardon her while she stares as that sinks in. Though it's not clear whether she's actually seeing anything. That had been her last chance! Uranus's knees wobble. ] I couldn't defeat it.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The marionette continues its slow, trembling crawl, limbs jerking like static as it draws nearer. Never close enough to touch, just close enough to wheeze. ] Can't... can't... can'tcan'tcan't... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Uranus isn't listening. Stepping backwards till she's against the wall, she leans onto it as exhaustion sets in. ] What are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vapor... [ A breath more than a name. ] We are... everything... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-01-01 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	Vapor? [ That might explain the getting-into-her-head thing. Not that it does her much good. Uranus smirks wearily. Wow, she's tired. And scared. She should probably move, if she can. ] I guess there were some criminals here after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No more than you. [ The humanity in the voice is wavering, blubbering, dripping as the creature feeds. So much delicious emotion. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-01-03 02:01 am UTC (link)
	[ She doesn't dispute that. For one thing, she's too tired. For another, it's true. What's done is done and she doesn't regret it. Uranus leans even her head against the wall. Steeling herself, she takes a slumping step forward. ] So what happens now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	marinanova_npc 2014-01-03 11:17 am UTC (link)
	Nothing happens now... I am satisfied. [ And with a rippling whisper, the rest of the creature dissipates like smoke or sand or fine particles, melting back into the darkness. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-01-03 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	[ ...well, she was buying herself time, but that works too. Uranus stares until she's sure the creature is gone - judging by her panic slowly dissipating, though her heartbeat remains jumpy - and then continues inching towards Sector 0. What had that been all about? Making her afraid? It'd worked... Maybe she'll make it and maybe she won't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
