mother_of_god: (Seal of Metatron)
[Tasks:
-Monster fighting! There are skinless dogs, pterodactyl things, and apelike dudes in abundance, and all sorts of stores to explore/loot.
-NPCs! If you want to talk to one, let me know. There's a policewoman around, though she doesn't know what the fuck, and a crazy woman who may know what the fuck, but hell if anyone can tell!
-Subplot! There's a police station with notes about the local drug trade. [I'll paste 'em in if your character wants to read them.] Also, ammo.]

Empty stores stretch for blocks, the fog and snow the only patrons. Whatever happened to all the people here, it looks like most of them had time to close up shop before diasppearing- gates are down, doors locked. Wide chasms cut through some of the streets, impossibly deep gouges in the earth. The city is dead.

"No," says Claire.

Then, "Really, no. It's like some sort of ghost town or something. You have your sword, right?"

Date: 2008-07-09 11:38 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
"Yeah. And my boomerang." He drops a hand to it for reassurance.

"Do you -- have anything?"

Date: 2008-07-09 11:43 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
"I have you?"

No, Claire doesn't have anything.

"And all my leet comnbat skills from training with Steph and Dinah...

"...yeah, I have you."

Sokka swallows, and nods.

He'll protect her. He has to.

"We have to get out of here. Which way did we come in?"

In the fog, it's confusing.

Date: 2008-07-13 09:02 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
"Uh," Claire says, looking over her shoulders in succession.

"That way, I think."

Date: 2008-07-13 09:05 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
"Stay close to me," Sokka asks quietly, hand seeking hers in the cold foggy street.

Please don't let him fail Claire too.

Date: 2008-07-13 09:40 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
Claire squeezes his hand tightly.

"I'm not leaving you," she says. She's unnerved, but not in the slightest bit afraid.

Date: 2008-07-13 09:48 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WORRIES HIM.

"...we'll try going this way, then."




They have got to get out of this.

Date: 2008-07-13 09:54 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
"OK," Claire says, following without protest.

Until the fog ahead of them seems to show a dark shape or two, and there's a dark, low growling.

Date: 2008-07-13 10:08 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
Sokka's hand is out of hers and holding his sword in an instant, the other aiming his boomerang carefully through the fog.

"Stay back," he half-asks, half-orders.

Date: 2008-07-13 10:16 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
Now Claire's scared, but not for her.

She does, obediently, step behind Sokka, a hand on his shoulder.

"Be careful," she says, as the strange dog thing runs forward.

Date: 2008-07-13 10:20 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
"They should be careful."

But ... it's just a dog, even if it's ugly. Sokka drops his boomerang back into its sling and brings the flat of his sword around, hard, at the dog's head.

Date: 2008-07-13 10:25 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
It sends the dog reeling, but not for long, as it turns around the next second and leaps at both teenagers again.

Claire lets go of Sokka and steps back.

Date: 2008-07-13 10:26 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
Sokka hits it again.

Harder this time.


He glances back at Claire anxiously as it reels and turns around again. -- what should he do!?

Date: 2008-07-13 10:33 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
"Try using the sharp edge!" Claire suggests.

Date: 2008-07-13 12:46 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
"But --"

THWACK

"-- that might hurt it!"

Date: 2008-07-13 12:58 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
"That's the idea!"

Claire can't decide whether to be frustrated or worried, here.

Date: 2008-07-13 01:01 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
"You want me to kill it?"

It's just a little mutant critter. They don't need to eat or anything.

THWACK.

Date: 2008-07-13 01:04 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] lilmsmiraclegro.livejournal.com
There are claws and, well, no teeth, but claws and it's not going away.

"I want you not to get killed!"

Date: 2008-07-13 01:06 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
"... I do like not getting killed..." Sokka muses.

The next THWACK is ... more of a SLICE really.

The creepy mutant dog didn't really have a chance.

Ew.

Now there is sudden surprise hugs.

"Are you OK?"

Date: 2008-07-13 01:09 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] lemur-sitter.livejournal.com
"I'm fine!"

Eee surprise hugs. He holds the sword away from her with one hand and uses the other to hold her close.

"That was just ... really weird. I hope I didn't kill somebody's pet." D:
