[TnT] So, it happened like this.
There’s a television show that has boosted the baby beauty pageant circuit. Instead of the outrage shown by Jon Bonet Ramsey’s death, we now have more mothers than ever dressing up their babies and toddlers and little girls in sexy revealing clothing, fake hair, fake tans, flappers (fake teeth), fake lashes, and more make up than the hookers on 5th street, teaching them to shake their ass and walk sexy while smiling a scary waxen smile… and calling it “pretty”. They then reward them with trophies and large glittery crowns and shiny scepters. After all, what little girl doesn’t want to be a pretty, pretty princess, dammit?
And now, the TnT Beauty Pageant has come to Chicago, and something is even more wrong than was originally thought. Which brings them here at the direction of the Grand Elder, under the leadership of Lukas after a phone call by one Izzy Montoya about reports from other cities that don’t quite mesh.
And so here we are.
Lee, in one of the worst assignments of all time, attended the pageant, due to her credentials as a Fashion Photographer (and resident kin shitkicker!). Some strings were pulled, and to Ray’s shock and dismay, he – for his high profile money grubbing ways – finds himself as a judge in this very unsettling contest.
If anything is really wrong, if they’re not just barking up another wrong tree, then Lee and Ray are to linger afterwards as the contestants and Pageant officials are winding down and getting ready to go, and then call in the cavalry, waiting in the alley outside. Lukas. Kora. Simon.
It’s 10:30pm.
Most of the contestants and their parents have gone. Most of the officials have gone. The security guards have been given leave to go, as there’s nothing really to secure any longer. The banquet hall that was the home of the TnT Pageant has all but emptied out. There is a single woman on the stage, cell phone to her ear, demanding that their ride hurry the fuck up, watching the (her?) four little girls who remained behind to play on the end of the stage.
(If you haven’t seen the gallery yet: http://www.chicagodusk.com/index.php?jove=gallery&gallery=3 the four little girls)
Well, playing is such a relative term – as it seems they’re actually fighting over the batons and crowns, snarling and snapping at each other viciously. One, Cherie, bares her teeth and actually rips a chunk out of Shandara’s arm. Shandara screams. The woman on the stage snarls at them to STFU already, she’s on the phone.
Lee, however, is so squicked out by her night staring at the girls is avidly NOT WATCHING, and thus misses the spray of blood, having closed her eyes and winced at the scream of childish outrage. Ray, however, looks. And sees. And realizes that hey – this ain’t exactly kosher… no matter the oddities of Stage Parents and kids he’s seen tonight. It’s just NOT OK to bite someone like that.
Cherie breaks her Scepter into a jagged edge. The bitten Shandara does the same. They face off, snarling while the other two girls watch and cheer… That CAN’T be good…
Maybe the call should be made after all.
[Bone Grinder] Simon got a call to action and he wasn't about to turn it down though seriously beauty pageants? Can't the wyrm do a little better than infecting the minds of little girls? Still he arrived where he was summoned as quickly as possible. His eyes glanced about figuring he would meet with others soon. Leaning against one of the walls of the building and whistling softly to himself. Lukas was the ranking Full Moon so if there was trouble here Lukas would handle barking out orders. Tonight he was mostly just here to do his job if it was needed.
[Ray Ostermann] Ray raises a brow as he see's the wound open, see's the blood and the weapons created in an instant, he hears their snarls nd their anger and he just can't register that this is normal, children were competitive in these things, but not that competitive not murderously so.
So the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out his cell phone. Ready to dial if things start to get worse. He steps over towards Lee at that moment and taps her on the arm, before gesturing towards the stage. "I....just can't see that as normal. Shall we call in the calvary or am I just that out of touch these days?"
[Liadan Whelan] The Fianna photographer doesn't normally do this sort of thing. Líadan is a high profile photographer. She works for the likes of Vogue magazine, for Hilfiger and Prada. Little kid pageants aren't even on the list of jobs Lee usually takes on.
Yet, she told Ray just this afternoon, Welcome to the world of Kinfolk. This isn't the first time she's been strongly encouraged to do something against the nature of her work. The one thing in her life that she's always taken the most pride in.
She doesn't wince and shut her eyes at the sound of a child's shriek. Her back is to the girls at the end of the stage, her attention focused on her camera. And she's ignoring them with every fiber of her being.
Until Ray taps her arm, directs her attention to the display of violence outside the ignorant eyes of the mother.
"Whoa. Why are you even asking?" she asks, her voice low so that only he can hear.
[Sorrow] Kora stands in the alley, her back to the two Ahrouns, her dark eyes on the street. Her pale hair is pulled back from the crown of her head in a French braid that hangs down the center of her back, following the line of her spine, and her arms are crossed low over her abdomen. She is dressed in worn clothing - and old black t-shirt with PIXIES emblazoned across the front, and well-fitted, well-worn jeans - which seem to match the bracelets are her wrist and neck in tone and style. Her shoulders are narrow, evenly set, and her body has a sort of whiplash alertness about it. She's quiet for the moment.
- waiting.

to TnT
[Wyrmbreaker] They've been here for hours -- a mismatched collection of young men and women, the Shadow Lord crisply dressed, some young investment banker or something not quite good enough to make it on Wall Street; the other Shadow Lord thuggish, tattooed; and the last of them, the girl, tall and blonde and casual like someone's cousin from the Netherlands.
That's what they'd seem like, anyway, if not for the rage hanging about them like a miasma. If not for their readiness, like predators in the afternoon heat, waiting for twilight and the hunt.
Wyrmbreaker leans against the wall, not minding if the brick dirties his sharp white shirt, his linen slacks. His arms are folded loosely across his chest. The clothes he buys are sleek and well-cut, and they go some way to disguising the strength in him, the weapon that he is. His shoulders don't stretch the fabric, and it doesn't bunch under his arms, across his biceps. Nothing can disguise the calm alertness in his eyes, though, the way they move silently, catch the dim light, throw it back.
There's a faint, silvery sheen to his skin. He would have told his companions to prepare as well. He says nothing now.
Waiting.
[TnT] "Knock it the fuck off, will you! I'm on the PHONE!" The woman on the stage is at the end of her patience - but just gestures at them and doesn't bother to stop, look closer, see the blood dripping from the mouth of one, the teeth of the other. The remaining two girls have joined the first - they're now facing off in some sort of twisted old school rumble stance. Two with fists, two with scepters, all with teetering crowns on their oh so fake curls, their fake smiles turned to oh so real sneers and snarls...
Yeah. It ain't normal at ALL.
[Ray Ostermann] "Oh just making sure I'm not the only one seeing that." He says as he pops open the cell phone and hits the quick dial number that had been agreed upon. He keeps his eyes on the woman and her children, making sure they don't come after them with those nasty little baton's as he puts the phone to his ear.
He waits impatiently for the phone to connect, looking about for anything else that might try to jump out at him as he waits for the strike team to pick up, when they do at long last he speaks slowly and concisely his body language friendly and open making sure it seems like he's just talking to a friend on the phone.
"Hello? We have....a situation here by the stage."
[Liadan Whelan] Some might think it's a sick perversion that has Lee lifting her Canon, her right index finger depressing the shutter. That's what humans do, right? The normal ones, they slow down their cars when they see the flashing lights, looking for the carnage. They see four little girls tearing themselves apart, snarling like dogs, and they whip out their camera phones before anyone can blink, and within seconds a video is being uploaded to YouTube.
That's not what Lee does, though. It's an instinct, really. She has a camera in her hands, she needs to take a picture of what she sees. Not because somewhere in the back of her mind she thinks this is some sort of sick art. It's the same sort of instinct that had her going into the basement of a diner with a little handheld digital camera. It could even be likened to the time she found herself in history, her modern day things still with her, when she used her flash to startle some crazed barbarian. Someone might need this evidence. Though who, she doesn't know. Maybe the Garou lurking outside. Certainly not her guardian, not this time. She doesn't have one of those anymore.
Lee snaps a few quick shots as she's stepping back, toward the rows of chairs. Backing away from what is likely to be something horribly dangerous. Today, the Kinfolk are the scouts. There are warriors outside to deal with these creatures.
[Bone Grinder] Simon kept his eye on Kora then shifted his eyes towards the nearest wall. He was relaxed and comfortable but certainly on full alert. There was a gleam in his eye, excitement or anticipation were to be expected from a young full moon. His arms crossed in front of his chest and he looked towards Lukas. The man who would be leading the way, he couldn't wait to see his elder in action.
He kept himself quiet tonight. Waiting for orders and keeping things formal for the moment.
[Wyrmbreaker] Lukas's phone, which is in fact an iPhone, is on vibrate. Even so, in the quiet of the alley, the noise is startling. It buzzzz!es angrily in Lukas's pocket for a fraction of a second before the Ahroun swipes his thumb across the bottom and puts it to his ear.
No greeting. He just listens. Then his eyes meet Kora's for a second, then Simon's. "We're heading in." It's both an answer to Ray and an alert to the others. "Tell me what's happening."
[Sorrow] Someone's cousin from Holland. Someone's cousin from Amsterdam, the sort who'd ride a unicycle or twirl fire and hang out in the coffee shops. The sort who's made a profession of couch surfing or house sitting or handing out pamphlets for the Rainbow Breeze Coffee Shop or the Kama Sutra show in the Red Light district. Except for the rage.
Lukas meets her eyes. They're in an alley, in the shadows, and her gaze has lost all definition of color. There's just the sheen of light across her irises when she looks back, alive - and some gravid sense about her, young and old, older than old, all at once.
We're going in.
There is a passing moment when the corner of her mouth quirks, the expression hidden, evident only in the periphery, where the light catches the sharp lines of her face. The way the shape of her cheek changes with the movement of her mouth, the faint quirk of her head, slantwise, all animal. She pulls a small disk from her front pocket and offers it nearly wordlessly to Simon. "It's a talen," her voice is like a curl of smoke. "Helps you take a hit, yeah? Take if it you haven't one of your own."
[TnT] Lee starts moving away from the stage, toward the chairs, snapping pictures automatically. The lady on the stage, well, she wasn't paying attention to anything - but suddenly she turns as she hears the camera's distinctive whir, and then looks at the girls.
The woman on the stage chuckles - then softly. "One for sure. Likely two. Oh you KNOW I do..." She licks her lips, and then snaps at the kids again. "Stop it! you're getting blood on the stage! You know the rules about that!"
The girls look over, and singsong together. "No blood on the carpets till the pageant is done, then make it a lot, and be sure to have fun..."
And the four face off again.
[Ray Ostermann] "There are currently four little...." He pauses as if he finds the whole idea entirely implausible. "little girls who are about to re-enact roman blood sports with jagged baton pieces and their very tiny fists, not to mention they are making noises that I really can't see these little girls making..."
He responds casually at first, but then as the women licks her lips noticing them he starts to back up as well. "And it would seem we have been noticed..." His voice taking on a slightly more urgent noise to it. The girls sing song together and his face drains slightly. "Would you mind expediting the process?!"
[Liadan Whelan] "Great." The one word is flat, heavy as a stone. It's the breeding. It hangs around her like a cloud, and it draws things to her. If she could cut it out of her flesh, she would. Maybe then she wouldn't have to fight so hard when this sort of thing happens.
Sighing, she sets her camera down on the closest chair. She's wearing jeans an a brown short-sleeved button down, a pair of brown and cream Chucks. Her long red hair is loose, but not for long. She reaches into her pocket for an elastic band, uses it to pull her hair back from her face.
Annoyed is one word to describe what she feels. Resigned another. She's scared, too, somewhere inside, but she learned a long time ago to ignore that. If she runs, sometimes they chase her. And sometimes when they chase they catch her. She wonders which it'll be today. "You should go," she says to Ray.
[Bone Grinder] Simon nods his head when he hears this, his smile brightening. Excitement in his eyes as his entire body tenses. If they were going in that meant there was trouble and it meant he would be needed. He allowed his arms to drop to his sides and he gets ready to follow Lukas within.
His eyes shift towards Kora and his curiosity is shown in his eyes."Thanks I will put it to good use."He says, and at the same time he calls up the aid of his Tribal Totem. If there was going to be a fight he wanted to be ready for anything.
The full moon's senses came to life instantly. Suddenly he was aware of his surroundings like never before. Dark eyes full of rage and fury though his lips curled into a twisted little smile at the thought of beating up little girls. Not sure how much glory there was in the act but... The thought was funny enough.
[Wyrmbreaker] "Head for the door," Lukas replies.
The line goes dead then. There's a door leading to the alley, painted dull red. Lukas goes directly toward it, taking the handle in hand. Either it'll be unlocked and they'll go in, or he'll wrench it off.
"There are four children inside," he tells the others, "who are apparently getting violent toward our kin. If you've got a soft spot for kids, now's the time to quash it."
[Sorrow] Simon gleams, there are cliches for this sort of excitement: kid-in-a-candy-store. Kora is rather more subdued; just that quirk of her mouth, just that slant of light across her dark eyes and this minute nod by way of acknowledgment. Alright. Okay.
She has a disk of her own, which she slides from her right hip pocket where it nestled between her passport and a ten dollar bill, all the money, all the money she has in the world today, and a transit pass. With a moment's concentration, a subtle tightening of her jaw as she grits her teeth, she breaks the talen in a whisper of spiritual energy. This is not like smoke, but like water-as-smoke, scent of gnosis is faint, full of the promising must of a storm on the horizon, the shroud of mist around a waterfall.
Kora nods briefly to Wyrmbreaker; that's all. Acknowledgment. She's in line behind him, ready.
[TnT] He'll have to wrench it off. Under the dull red there's also some faded black letters that say "Emergency Exit Only - alarm will sound." Though, when he wrenches the handle, no alarm sounds.
Well. Audibly.
Inside, Lee realizes soemthing is going on, and pulls her hair back. As one, the girls turn and face her, and their smiles - their smiles are frightening indeed. One of them croons "ooooh pretty lady..." and the others murmur agreement.
Shandara though, she looks at Ray and screams a scream that should be little girl glee - instead it's "DADDY!!!!" disturbing on so many levels... and she heads toward him at a dead on run. Cherie follows and echoes her cry. The other two watch Lee, and hop off the stage.
The woman on the stage, just chuckles, and tucks her phone into her pocket, her eyes on Lee. "Pretty pretty princesses, all in a row..."
[Ray Ostermann] The line goes dead and Ray puts his Iphone back in his pocket, apparently Iphones are standard equipment for the likes of the Shadow Lords. Lee says it's time to run away, yet she is making ready to fight.
"I think i'll stay, this is where the cavalry is coming to, and who knows how many more of these....lovely children are around." He says as he grabs one of the folding chairs nearby and folds it up quickly, a make shift weapon if you ever seen one. He looks at Lee again and shakes his head.
But then the children scream as if he's their father, and his face goes from pale to deathly white. He looks at Lee for a moment "I swear its not true!" Before starting to back away quickly, before turning to run, chair still in hand.
[Wyrmbreaker] The doorhandle doesn't budge. Inside, some little girl shrieks. It's too far away and the door's too thick to make out words, but that level of demented glee manages to get across. Lukas lets go the doorhandle and pounds his palms onto the door instead, as though he were frustrated. But that's not it at all.
A second later nails are claws. Fur starts to explode backward from his hands, devouring the crisp white of his shirt, devouring his human form. He sinks his talons into the door and wrenches it off its hinges. Throws it aside. When he swings back, pivoting from the waist, his center of balance has changed; he drops forward, a controlled fall, hits the ground on all fours and runs in black-furred and deadly.
[1R: hispo!]
[Bone Grinder] Simon keeps Near Lukas' flank and when the door is opened he follows inside. He smirks to himself at Lukas' warning. Children, puppy dogs, nothing would stand in the way of his job. Full Moons are no creatures of compromise or cooperation they were created for one purpose and that purpose was to destroy anything that stood in the way. The second they Entered the building he set about looking for props, anything that could be used in their favor. They might be little girls but if they were fomori they were going to be taken seriously and that meant arming themselves against them.
As they entered Simon's form began to ripple and shift, stepping from the outside world into the inside world and letting his form shift upwards to something a little better suited for battle.
(Rolling to shift to Glabro, also looking around for anything that could be used as a weapon. Props/Power Tools/Big ass Metal Things etc...)
[Liadan Whelan] Children turn to look at her, but Lee's eyes are blank, dark. She picks up her camera again, calmly removes the memory card and slips it into her pocket. Her breathing is the only thing that gives her away. Not gasping, but it's faster than normal. Something tingles through her bloodstream. creeps up her spine.
She had a dream like this once, so long ago she'd almost forgotten it.
I'm so hungry, mommy.
The words echo in her mind now, make her fingers fumble as she wraps the camera strap around her right wrist.
The children begin to scream. Ray, gathering himself for the impending battle, looks at her, stricken, turns to run. Lee waits until he's a few steps ahead before she back away quickly, bringing up the rear.

[Sorrow] This is almost ordinary, right? The slightly odd trio - yeah, you can see them, right? Out back for a smoke break from a local club, standing in the alley with nicotine to disguise the scent of garbage, listening to the thump of the bass from inside, smoking short and sharp and fast, ready to get back inside. Except: no one's smoking, and there's no bass, just some cheery soundtrack for monstrous little girls gyrate to, and then it's not right, not normal, not real anymore. Lukas is going in and Kora's crowding behind him, already reaching out to grab the door to hold it open behind her. The door doesn't budget and he's shifting, his body expanding and exploding, and she ducks behind him wrenches the thing off its hinges, out of the arc of his motion.
He is on the ground. She is on the ground behind him a moment later, running four-pawed in his wake.
[1 Rage = Hispo!]
[TnT] The woman - well, let's call her by her name, Boot-Licker - looks up as the door is wrenched off it's hinges and cackles. "COMPANY!" before she just stares at those coming in the door...
Ray runs, and the two girls give chase, while the others pivot and head toward Lee instead - who conveniently is blocking Ray's retreat therefore in the same direction. Not even the gleeful cries of the children break the concentration of Boot-Licker. She. Is. Focused.

[TnT] They explode in, and soon the little girls singsong chant comes true. There's blood, and there's blood EVERYWHERE. Simon remains in glabro, while Lukas and Kora charge forward in Hispo. Lukas snarls his command to the others, to go for the leader, BootLicker, who's staring at them intently. He, however, goes for the Kin.
In two quick swipes, he sends the kinfolk flying out of immediate danger - though it's not without injury. They each hit a wall, and fall, stunned to the ground. Lukas doesn't even bother to stop moving - he just makes Shandara start to SOB in fear, darkness spreading through her skirts, puddling on the floor as she wets her pants, rooted in place and screaming for her mommy....
Kora, meanwhile, leaps for the woman (who's not a woman at all) on stage and in startling ferocity destroys her in three quick bites, saving them from whatever sneaky thing that stare was going to do to them. They should thank Kora - but later, because the girls are still charging.
Cherie tries to stab Lukas, but trips and adds her screaming pained wail to Shandaras, as she falls on her face, not even coming close to hurting the huge dire wolf. The others, Alexis and Heidi, singlemindedly, doggedly go chasing after Lee, only to meet Simon's chair. He brings it down on Alexis - once, twice - and bruises her up. He lifts the chair a third time, and Kora sneaks in for a quick bite, her teeth closing on the little girl's arm, sending a fresh spray of blood across Simon's form... He drops the chair again, but it glances off to the side....
Meanwhile, Lukas, with a swipe of his claw, spurs them deeply into Heidi, incapacitating her, just seconds before he snaps his jaws to the side and destroys Alexis in a single bite...
There's no moment of silence, because Shandara is still screaming her fool head off, as is Cherie... rooted to the spot and begging for someone to come.
And someone is coming... from backstage, the one who roared when Bootlicker - which is the perfect name for their Omega - fell enters from the left - and her packmate enters from the right.
Game. On.

Then, pushing off his hindpaws, his left forepaw leaving a rake in the floor, the Ahroun lunges forward again -- but he twists to the side at the last instant, a feint, snapping for the female's throat instead.
This time orders aren't given verbally. They're given through motion and instinct: the drive of the pack to bear down as one.

[TnT] OH THANK GOD. DEAD.
[TnT] It's a flurry of fur and blood and howling screams after that. Everything blurs and slows and speeds up all at once. The little girls are either terrified, or attacking, and then very quickly, one after the other, they are dead. Alexis first, than Heidi. Cherie died clinging to her scepter as if the magic in the sparkly rhinestones could save her. Shandara died still screaming for her mother - a mother named Sings of Death, who was already dead, torn to pieces, laying in a puddle of her own blood...
When they are all gone but for the Alpha, the Mate of Terror, she quite simply loses. her. shit. She strikes hard and true, and the trio of Gaian's are hard pressed to put her down until it seems as if it will never happen. At one point she strikes a blow on Wyrmbreaker that would have torn any of the others completely in half. He shakes her off, instead. In a fury she attacks them all, again and again, while they harry and strike, weakinging her bit by bit.
until, at last, Lukas deals the killing blow. He stands over Mate of Terror, sides heaving, maw dripping with blood, gore, snot, and waits. She'll rise. The other's had. He simply knows she will too...
She does not. And now, at last, there is silence.
In the silence, they might note, now, that every one of the fallen stink of Fury blood - thick and rich and oh so very pure... Every. single. one.
[Bone Grinder] He growls to himself, the Crinos figure shrinking to something more recognizable as Simon. He wanders to the corpses and checks each for signs of Life, if anything is left breathing they are... Dispatched. He wears a bit of a smile and glances towards Kora and then towards Lukas.
"You know looking back at the past and what has come of things here. I am beginning to suspect that maybe beauty pageants for little girls are just a bad idea across the board. In my book they're all pretty much Wyrm tainted. Who the fuck would dress a little girl up in this shit?"He growls a little and wanders back to one of the corpses of the grown women. He kicks it then draws in a breath.
"Let's not tell the furies about these women. I can't see any fury I have ever met supporting a practice so horrific as this. It might be better we just don't weight them down with the guilt. You know how bad the Furies can get when they hear about little girls they couldn't quite get to in time... Especially Fury Children. It might be best we just clean this shit up... Get the kin home and get the hell outta here."He pauses and decides to wander over to make sure both kin are in fact breathing!
[Wyrmbreaker] And then it's over: an arena of blood, the stage red with it, their paws slipping in the viscous fluid. Wyrmbreaker's head is low with threat, his ears back. His sides move with every breath.
He counts them, the fallen. One, two, three. And four children. One still alive. The rest, torn to shreds by their claws and teeth.
Yesterday Lukas was in Bronzeville. He was hunting. There was a building there, an entire tenement full of the downtrodden who had fallen prey to some bane, some wyrm. There were children there, sick and dying. There was a boy who would not last the night. There was a Fenrir kinswoman who crossed his path quite by chance, and he showed her the boy.
They were quiet after, solemn and haunted. He said to her on the street:
We can reverse the damage.
He also said:
We crush the Wyrm where we find it.
Wyrmbreaker shakes out his fur, and he pads to the survivor. He bends to her, sniffing, whuffs once, raises his head.
"That was well fought, Cliaths. You didn't lose your head even when terror took you.
"Bone-Grinder, take the kin home. If you don't know where they live, take them to the Brotherhood. Give them my apologies. I needed them out of the way of harm, and fast."
He doesn't seem to find that the least bit ironic.
"She Who Offers Sorrow, take this one to Mama Ankle-Biter, or to Rain of Brass Petals. See if she can be Cleansed and returned to her people. If she can't be Cleansed, don't suffer to tend her sickness."
[Wyrmbreaker] [ack! *adds to mine*]
[Bone Grinder] (I have a post down there it got burried by Lukas' post!)
[Wyrmbreaker] The direwolf tilts his head, then, ears tipping forward to listen to the now man-formed Simon.
"I hear you," he replies, "and I understand. But If it were my tribemates here tonight, I'd want to know. I don't think the Black Furies are weak enough to prefer ignorance.
"We'll tell them the truth. And if they want vengeance, I'll make sure they know who to hold responsible."
[Sorrow] Sorrow cuts a glance between Bone-Grinder and Wyrmbreaker. She sinks back into her human skin when this is finished, blood spattered clothing, blood pattered hair, blood spattered across her pale skin. None of it her own, tonight.
"Of course, Wyrmbreaker-rhya," is her reply to the Ahroun's orders as to the disposition of the remaining girls. "I'll be sure of it." Then, her head cuts between Bone Grinder and Wyrmbreaker, listening. The Fenrir woman offers her agreement, all quiet, low and rich, "The Black Furies have not merely the right, but the duty to know, Bone Grinder-yuf. They would not seek your protection from the truth of the world, I think. And if they would, you should not shelter them."
[Bone Grinder] He shrugs his shoulders."Your call I guess... I couldn't care one way or another. I just don't see why the burden of guilt should fall upon those who might actually feel guilty over the matter is all. Honesty might sound good from the outside but the honest truth is... It's as much a pile of shit as lying is."He says looking down at the corpse of the still living girl.
"I gotta get these folks home."He says with a nod of his head turning to wander over towards Ray who was still on the floor. He would kneel beside the man and pull him up with an arm. His eyes glance back at Lukas."You gonna handle the cleanup?"
[Wyrmbreaker] Wyrmbreaker whuffs an assent, pale eyes closing once. He wouldn't nod in this form.
"And see what I can find out about this," he affirms.
[Bone Grinder] He nods and wanders with the Injured ray as he walks over to Lee and struggles to get her ass up off the ground as well."Come on you two... I'm gonna get you to the Brotherhood for a checkup then home. Let's go."He says before leading them for the exit.
[Bone Grinder] (Waiting to see if Kora says anything more)
[Sorrow] "If you'd like," Kora offers, quiety to Wyrmbreaker, "I'll call Dr. Slaughter."
For cleanup. Connections. Disposal of the bodies.
Then, she goes to gather up the child she's been directed to take, pulls up the creatures into her arms carefully but not gently, and nods acknowledgment or farewell to the other two.
[Bone Grinder] (Thanks for the scene all!)
[TnT] (thanks for playing!)
[Sorrow] (No, thank you!)
[Sorrow] (soft close!)
[Sorrow] (DAMON IS POSTING! LIZ HALTS!)
:) is late.
[Wyrmbreaker] He thinks for a moment. Then, "No. I'll handle it. But thank you."
They part ways, then -- the Fenrir bearing the Fury kin; the Lord bearing the others. And Wyrmbreaker, staying behind, pads away to investigate the offices, the pamphlets, the dressing rooms and backstage.
Later he'll move the bodies out. Pile them together. Burn them, or offer them to ravenous carrion-spirits. He'll swab the floor clean of blood, or at least clean of their pawprints. He'll leave this place burning.
[Wyrmbreaker] [ok i'm done! thanks again lessa!]
[TnT] (and we're out! thanks guys! :) )
