EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

[initiatesnpc]

Date & Time: October 24 - October 31
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ALL; tag yourselves in
Summary: The Transports return from their mission to find the island crawling with monsters.
Warnings: Violence, possibly injuries (notify a mod if there's cause to add a particular warning!)

The Transports return from their mission to Medieval Russia, but the Initiative Hold is eerily deserted. Normally, their would be a number of Initiative personnel prepared to meet the Transports at the end of their mission for debriefing.

Instead, there is only silence.

That is, until a distant thumping sound can be heard. It is growing closer, and suddenly the beast is bursting into the room. It lets out a roar and charges. Within minutes, it is easily defeated, but damage has already been done -- it collided with the Transporter machine, which is now making a low fizzling sound and lets off a couple sparks. The commotion is enough to draw the attention of the few remaining Initiative personnel who still inhabit the Hold, who arrive immediately afterwards. They are able to tell the Transports two things: that the machine is broken and currently unable to sent anyone back in time, and that the island has been overrun with aggressive, mutated beasts sent by the United Earth. They have been under siege for months, with the island's population reduced to a mere fraction of what it had once been.

[she draws her gun from its holster, the little charms clinking against each other. she should have gone back and tried to find a lewis gun, but that was out of the question. she'd be able to deal with the creatures just fine, even if it may be a little more difficult.]

I will.

[as long as they make it out alive. she was sure they would. babydoll gives dean one last look before heading towards the beasts. she wasn't running towards them, no, she was walking. she was saving her energy to attack.]

[ yeah, dean's still not entirely over just watching a girl like her calmly walk towards a herd of monsters. not a lot of babydolls where he comes from, and all. there's no energy to save for him, so dean checks his gun again -- all rounds filled -- before following after her. it takes more than a couple to take down the monsters-- or at least the sizable ones but he'll make sure each and every bullet counts.

the first thing to go down is some sort of flying mix between a bird and bat. an ugly sucker all the same, one that dean has to make a face at as it falls with a loud crack, bones breaking from impact.

nasty business, but nothing he isn't used to.

and of course, every once in a while he's sure to scan the area for babydoll, though he knows she can hold her own. ]

oops i'm on hiatus oops i dont want to give up this thread

[any time when a small creature happens to race towards her, she tends to wait until the last minute to shoot it right in between the eyes. it was the bigger ones she was looking out for, and once she spotted one that was close enough, she made her move.

fighting with both her sword and her gun, the combination was merciless as she fought her way towards the larger monster. there's a still moment where babydoll may have lost her will to continue. she'd put her gun away. but the second where the option of turning back have been the case, she crouches down to make a great leap towards the creature, sending her sword cleanly through its neck.

when it collapses, she can be seen on the other side of it, looking over her shoulder towards dean, making sure he's okay.

and she may even be saying 'i told you' with the way she was looking at him.]
