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.

so late, but still up for this if you are?

As she ran, she called the hunt to her. It was more difficult here than it had been back in Chicago, back in what she still called the real world in her head -- like working through a thick fog (one that didn't part at her command, rather). All the same, though, her hounds appeared: graceful, long-legged creatures, with curling fur in shades of cream and grey and brown. She only managed five, running alongside her, but it felt right and beautiful and she dropped the glamour that hid the lightning in her hair -- because when she was like this, she wanted the mortals to know what she was, to tremble at her grace and power. Anna was the Huntress, after all.

It was easy enough to find the Kindred who called himself Alucard -- who was, in fact, the legendary Dracula (not just some madman, as she had assumed from Mina's report): the show he was putting on intimidated even the Huntress. He seemed more True Fae than Kindred; she had heard of no vampire who could do that.

Well then. Time to prove her own power; she wouldn't let him think her worthless. The longbow appeared in her hand as she traced it in the air, and a thought summoned a bolt of lightning for an arrow. She took careful aim, and fired; one of the crows dissolved into smoke and a metallic bead. Hopefully that would catch his attention.

"Alucard, I presume? Princess Nuala sent me. I am the Huntress - or Anna, rather."
