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.

Hellboy nods, then slips out of the door as quickly as he can. He's gone for about an hour, although he checks in with Mabel every so often via text. (The spelling isn't the greatest, because he's in a hurry and the keyboard isn't so great for one handed typing, but he manages.)

When he returns, he picks the lock again to get back in -- it's a skill that he doesn't get nearly enough changes to have fun with -- then drags in a fairly hefty sack with a few portable cooler packs hanging off of it by their straps, like Santa Claus on a beach holiday.

"Okay. I had to hit up a couple places to get everything, but I think this should be enough to last this place a while." There's food and water, a gas-powered portable stove, a couple of flashlights and lanterns -- apparently thinking ahead, not sure whether the room still had electricity -- and an assortment of first aid supplies.

Mabel is well on her way to clawing down the walls when he returns; her wounds have long stopped bleeding, her muscles rested enough. She digs through the first aid supplies in a hurry, slapping a bandage on the worst of them (no antiseptic - her wounds never got infected).

"You left out the kitchen sink," she says, her tone admiring. "I think they'll be alright with this; I'm ready to bounce."

"I went looking, but the sinks all had pipe-crawlers in 'em." He's probably not really serious, but the way he says it sounds like it was truly a tragedy.

He gives the quickness of Mabel's patch work a brief side-eye as he lays out the remaining contents, then puts his canteen back on his belt. "You folks going to be okay here now?" The civilians nod and mumble through their thanks, and he nods in return, satisfied. "Okay. Give a call if there's a problem. Let's go, Mabel."
