plot } the creatures descend.

Who: Everyone!
What: Creatures descend!
Where: All across the city, although attacks will be most fervent at its heart.
When: Friday/Veerdi evening and into the week.
Notes: Slow and back-tagging is, as always, permitted. If you are confused, look at these two posts for more information.
Warnings: Violence, creepiness, swearing knowing these characters.
On Veerdi, the presence of the creatures reaches a fever pitch. Something has provoked them into launching an all-out assault, though it is one that begins slowly. The pipe-crawlers, generally harmless though they may be, are seen across homes in Baedal, sneaking up through the pipes and into bathtub drains or sinks. They come by the dozens, and their keening makes most homeowners nauseated--but it's their appearance that leads to a number of distressed Network calls.

This is just the distraction for the rest.

The call of the crawlers draws in the armored, sickly creatures with the tiny primates carried inside of it. They are inelegantly lumbering, but much faster than one might expect, and certainly hostile. They trudge across the city, barreling over anyone who gets in their path and leaving them half-crushed in the street. They're certainly unsettling in their obvious unhealthiness, and the disease-ridden animals they carry are downright vicious, especially once they escape (messily, bloodily) from their fleshy cage.

It's the birds that are the worst, though; the cleverest, and the cruelest.

These strange black birds are resistant to typical attacks and flying in large groups. They descend on pedestrians, picking at their eyes and faces, ready to rapidly tear flesh from bone until there's nothing left but skeletal remains. They fly out of range when they can, only to divebomb anyone who might think they've escaped.

Jo allows herself the moment of silence when Integra does. She turns back to the woman, who clearly screams leader with every word and action. There's a second where Jo only studies her, taking in the words, quickly answering back once she's finished. "It's also going to require effort to get everyone to listen in their panic," Jo says, referring to the securing part, but she nods once more. She understands--and she's only been here one day, so she is deferring to this other woman completely. Only a short amount of time, and Jo can tell Integra knows what the hell she's doing.

"'Course they are. Damn birds." Jo has never been on a horse, but she's not about to show her trepidation now. Fear can be a tool, she has learned. Fear she can use to her advantage if she lets it drive her instead of cripple her. "I'm right there with you," she says, and she clasps Integra's hand with her own, using it to boost herself up, swinging her leg onto the other side as she hauls herself up onto the horse as well behind one Sir Integra Hellsing. Her gun remains at her side, and Jo will be at the ready should it be needed.

Universe, if you thought there'd be anything more fucking epic than this... well, then. You were wrong. Obvs.

"Hold on," she says, and circles her horse, the destrier powerful enough to carry the both of them at a full gallop easily. "And don't worry about my hearing."

Translation: shoot the bloody hell out of anything she needs to, even if it's next to Integra's head. For a moment she's just quiet, sorting out in some far-off mental place where Alucard is; she's gotten better at this, over the past few months, communing with the devil while fighting for God. But that's handled, and there are cries of flesh-eating birds coming their way, so with a sharp motion, she spurs her horse and he takes off, speeding them faster and faster over cobblestone streets, towards the Train linkup.

"In that case..."

Jo doesn't need to be told twice. She remains vigilant, shoulders stiffened, holding on as best she can while also keeping her grip tightened over the shotgun. Anything that so much as tries to approach them is blasted off immediately.

She does well, if she says so herself.
