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.

It's not necessary for Adrian to do much more than step outside his front door to enter into the fight, although in an attempt to keep his identity hidden at least for now, he leaves the building in secret and makes his way through the neighborhood. He has no weapons, has never picked one up and doesn't intend to now, but speed and strength have always served him well. The costume he's wearing can withstand the force of a bullet, making him at least well-protected in that regard (he'll just have to be wary of protecting his head and face), and that comes in handy when he encounters a group of things that look disturbingly like primates, and that attack with a ferocity that almost makes him wish for the Comedian and his ridiculous flame-thrower.

[ooc: Please for the sake of secret identity preservation, let's pretend that the typical superhero trope of "an eyemask is an awesome disguise" holds true here?]
