EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

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 noticed it. It made her smile more, hand finally leaving her mouth. She was, however, a little embarrassed by him telling her to be careful. It's not like she was purposefully trying to put herself in danger...

"Immortal or not, there were two of those things fast approaching you. I had to do something, even if it put me in a pinch."

She stretched a little, wondering how long they'd stay where they were. More chit-chat was probably in order, or things might get boring. Besides, she hadn't introduced herself yet. "Name's Tori, by the way. Figured it would be rude not to tell you that, since you saved my life and all."

Shadow finally did face her, his smile wiped off of his face. Of course it wasn't going to last long. It was impeccable that he even did show any signs of positivity in the first place.

"Yet you are not immortal. Either you die or I get majorly injured and live. The choice should be clear."

He paused, eyeing her for a brief second before speaking up again.

"... Shadow."

"Never said I wasn't reckless."

Still, he had a point and she knew it. She sighed, willing to let that subject drop if he was.

"Shadow, huh? That's a pretty simple name, but it's nice."

"Mm."

With that out of the way, though, Shadow didn't have much point staying here. He gave her a curt nod, telling her, "Be careful. Do not get back into the battlefield until you are sure you can handle it."

He doesn't even say goodbye, leaping over a trash can and whisking away. It's back to business.
