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.

I hope you don't mind a late tag in

[Orihime was walking anxiously through the hold, not confident enough to fight on her own and not wanting to burden the few comrades she had that had appeared recently. Maybe it was all of the excitement that made her forget about checking for reiatsu or maybe it was just that she really wanted to see a familiar face but either way she's going to think you are someone else that tends to turn into a cat.]

Yoruichi-sama?

not at all!

[onblackwings]

[ The cat blinks up at her, a little curious despite her resolve for apathy. Whoever this chick is, she's talking like she expects this cat to understand it, and even respond.

She blinks slowly at her, flicks the tip of her tail lazily a few times, and... oh, why not. ]

No. [ It's a yowl more than a word, and could be mistaken for a well-timed meow. ]

[fivetimesover]

[was that a meow or? Yourichi-sama never really sounded like a cat, even when she looked like one but...what are the chances there are multiple talking cats around here?]

Ah, excuse me?

[onblackwings]

[ She stares ublinkingly for a few seconds more, but eventually decides that curiosity outweighs the desire to look like a normal cat. So: ]

Who are you looking for?

[ just how many people around here are cats?? ]
